The "R6vleW OF ReVleWS' kNeW
York. for May will be found as strlk-
ingly original and individual in its char
acter as any previous issues of this enter
prising periodical. II strikes out into a
fresh field with Mr.. Stead's sketch OF
Frederick Selous, the greatest Nlmrod
this world has ever produced. Perhaps
The most tthought-provoking controversy
raising feature of any OF the American
magazines of the current month IS Eugen
Richter's Pictures OF the Future" under
the striking caption, How Socialist
Millennium Would Work" Richter IS
the most brilliant parliamentary leader
in the German Reichstag, and he has
written pamphlet in the form OF ro-
nance intended to show how dismalIy
and unhearably such a state OF society as
that advocated by the Socialists OF Ger
many and the Nationalists OF America
would work in reality. Mrs. Henrotln,
who stands next to Mrs. Potter Palmer
in Worlds Fair undertakings, has writ
ten a summary sketch of the partclpa-
ton of women in the Worlds Fair Con-
crosses. Mrs. Meredith of Indiana, also
one of the high officials of the Board of
Lady Managers, has given glimpse OF
the Woman's Building and what 1t repre-
Sents. There is also, by another lady OF
official standing in the Worlds Fair,
charming little sketch OF the Chlldrens
Building and its exhibits. The Progress
considerably longer than usual by reason
of the burden of topics which the month
Of April has produced with its American
and European weekly actlv1tles-the
completion of the Worlds Fair, the great
naval review and pageant at New York,
the labor struggles at home and abroad
and the general ferment and stir of life in
this uncommonly active springtime. The
department is as terse and frank in It's
discussion of affairs as usual, and is even
more replete than in most preceding num-
bers with interesting and timely illustra-
tions.
