Review Of Reviews fOrDecember

Instead of the usual extended charac-
ter sketch of some one person, the De-
cember Rerieao of Reviems publishes six
shorter character sketches, covering in
the group a wide range of international
interest. The first is a sketch of Serge
.Iulich Eitte, the new Russian Minister of
Finance, whose mastery hand has check
mated Germany in the bitter tariff war
that has for many months been raging
between the two countries. 1t is vivid
sketch from an anonymous pen. The
writer is evidently versed in the most in
innate way in Russian life and politics,
and the article is illustrated with numer-
Gus portraits. The second is a sketch of
Tom Mann, the most interesting person.
ality among all the labor leaders of Eng
land, and the article is by John c. Carlile,
himself an active worker in English
trades unionism. The third is an article
on the late Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
by DR.. Shaw, editor of the Reriew of Re
rieus, and is a fair and impartial charac-
terization Of the most widely known Of
Chicago's politicians. 1t is accompanied
by portraits of Mr.. Harrison. The fourth
sketch is from no less eminent writer
than Archdeacon Farrar and its subject
is the late Benjamin Jowett, master of
Balliol College, Oxford, the eminent Greek
scholar and translator of Plato The
fifth, accompanied by a magnificent full
page portrait, is a very attractive ac-
count of the life and work of the distin-
guished French musician Gounod. FL
nally, in the sixth sketch, there is a por-
trayal by Mr.. Samuel J. Capper of the
late Louis Ruchonnet, who served two
terms as President of Switzerland, and
who was the best known of all the public
men OF that enlightened little country.

 "On Friday night the 7thl, just after dark someone called at the residence of Henry Me Donald. an old and highly respected citizen Of Independence county. and informed him that his father was very sick. Upon Mir Mcdonald asking his name he responded: Why, don't you know me, Uncle Henry" at the same time advancing through the gate and of to the porch where MT. Mcdonald was standing. As tho messenger reached the porch he covered Mo- Donald with gun. at the same time command ing him to shell out his shekels' Mcdonald grappled with the bandit and called to his wife to bring the butcher knife.
 Mcdonald loosed his hold on the robber in order to secure his pistol. and he made good his escape Three shots were sent after the nee- ing woud.te robber but with no effect. It is thought the pistol will lead to the discovery Of the party. Mir. Mcdonald says the voice sound ed very familiar to him.
