The October Magazines.

THIS number of The Forum comes
with an uncommonly interesting table
of contents. In eleven timely articles,
by as many distinguished writer's, it
presents to its readers the latest re-
suits of original investigation and re-
search in many fields of keen general
Interest," larger political and social
tendencies of the republic, the Japan
China war, socialism, international
politics, railroad problems, education,
literature, etc.
In Harper's Magazine, the story " In
the Piny Woods" by Mrs. B. F. May
nard, is located in North Carolina,
which indicates that life among the un-
cultivated rural communities of the
South is not altogether the dismal and
sordid existence that has been 80 often
described. Casper w. Whitney de-
scribes Golf in the Old Country" in
an article which shows that in England
and Scotland the game has almost at
tanned to the dignity of an institution.
Like most popular outdoor games in
America, golf is of British origin. Al
though it is of recent importation, the
golf clubs which are being started in
all parts Of the country show with what
favor the sport is being received in the
United States. The longest of Thomas
Nelson Pages recent stories is "The
Old Gentleman of the Black Stock"
1t is tale of Old Virginia, told in the
authors most charming manner.
THE young American bicyclers who
have made tour Of the world were
granted an unusual honor when they
completed their journey through China.
Viceroy Li-Hung. Chang sent for them,
and accorded them long interview,
which they describe in the Century.
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben give
one of the best and most vivid descrip-
tons that have yet appeared of the man
whom General Grant included among
the three greatest statesmen of his day,
and the article is accompanied by new
portrait of the prime minister from a
photograph which he presented them.
There is also printed in this number a
posthumous study by Major General
James B. Fry on the character and ca
reer of General Mcclellan. General Fry
believes that the latter's usefulness as a
commander was impaired by the fact
that his mind was possessed by the be-

THAT popular New York clergyman
Rev. DIR. Rainsford, contributes mos
interesting article to The Ladies' Home
Journal, in which she defines the posi-

For One-Legged Cyclists.

One of the latest novelties in cycles is
safety bicycle which is claimed to be spe-
cially suitable for one legged cyclists. The
special feature of the machine is that it
may be propelled either entirely by the
hand or in conjunction with pedal driv-
ing. Instead of the usual handle bar, this
Is bent round so far as to run the two
handles into one, and this handle has an
up and down motion, which, by means
of oranks, causes a toothed wheel fixed
about half way between the handle bar
and the axle of the front wheel to revolve.
The front wheel is consequently driven by
means of a chain running round the tooth
wheel and one fixed on the hub Of the
front wheel similar to that on the hind
wheel of an ordinary safety.-House Fur

Overpowered After n Hard Struggle
with Five Officers.

Intense excitement prevailed at the
Butler Street Police Court, Brooklyn,
this morning.
A woman's piercing cries attracted a
large crowd in front of the ramshackle
old court-rooms. The yells of men could
also be heard in the courtroom.
Smoke poured out through the broken
windows, and the crowd grew SO dense
that the electric cars were stopped.
The trouble was caused by the at
tempt of a drunken woman to burn
down the old courthouse.
About $50 o'clock this morning Pc
liceman James Kelly, Of the Fifteenth
Precinct, found Mary Walsh, of 81 Hunt

She was taken from the precinct-house

officials present.
The woman was put In the woman's
pen, which is one Of the vilest dens that
ever existed in a civilized community.
1t is reekinR with filth. The odor in
the place is sickening.
A little stove in the pen serves to keep
the inmates from freezing to death.
SOPHIE Miller was in the pen when Mary
Walsh was put in.
Shortly after her arrival the newcomer
began to yell and made a horrible
racket. She was quiet for a moment
and then burst out afresh. This time
her yells were accompanied by cries of
fear from Sophie Miller. and. at thes same
time tiny streams of smoke issued
through the cracks in the door.
Officer Quigley opened the door and saw
place. Sophie Miller was huddled in one
corner and Mary Walsh was dancing
about the place yelling and waving 4
