number. The frontispiece is by the ia
nous French engraver Clement Billin-
ger. President Andrews History of the
Last Quarter of Century" grows in in
terest. There Is no American, young or
old, who cannot find something of unusual
interest in the September instalment,

field, the assassination of Garfield. the
Star Route and Whisky Ring frauds-all
of which topics are illustrated with a
UNIQUE series of pictures collected with
great pains from authentic sources.
A unique short story is one of the fea-
lures of this number. Alexander Black,
well known journalist, sometime ago
conceived the plan of uniting photogra-
ply and fiction-that is, of illustrating
story with a series of Photographic illus
trations in which, as in a play, the char
acters move about against real back
ground and illustrate the various points
of the dialogue by actual poses. Mr..
Black further carried his scheme of re-
alism to the point of introducing Mr..
Chauncey Depew as one of the characters,
and he is actually photographed at his
desk in the interview told Of in the story.
