TO month the course of public interest
All subjects are treated OF impartially
on both sides.
THE CONTRIBUTORS to the Review
are the men and women to whom the
world looks for the most authoritative
statements on the subjects of the day.
No other periodical can point to such
a succession of distinguished writer's.
The list is a roll of the people who are
making the history. controlling the af-
fairs, and leading the opinion Of the
age.
THE TIME when these subjects are
treated of by these contributions in the
Review is the very time when the sub
jects are in the public mind
THE REVIEW is the only periodical
of its kind which has a recognized place
as
A FAMILY MAGAZINE
This is because it devotes so much att
tention to subjects that are of particu-
lar interest to women.

The Late George Y. Coin.

Readers of these letters will remem-
Der George 7. Coffin, who died here re-
Gently, as the artist of the American
Press Association, Washington, for
many years. His technical skill with
the pencil was not SC great as that Of
some Of his contemporaries in newspa-
per illustration, but he atoned for any
deficiency in that direction BY the keen
ness of his intelligence, which shone
through every thing he did. This mental
brilliancy was best illustrated in his
cartoon work. which was begun in 1884
for the Washington Ratchet and con
tinued afterward for the Washington
Post. He was especially clever in adapt
ing famous pictures to the illustration
of current political events, and has car
toOns were copied in every city in the
United States and amused millions of
newspaper readers. His satire was ex-
quisitely fine aud never bitter or often
sive. No man ever welded a kindlier
pen in the field Of cartoon work
Mr.. Coffin was only 46 years old when
he died He had been resident Of
Washington for 38 years. He received
an excellent education at Columbian
college and was a graduate in law, but
he never practiced the profession He
entered the government service as a
census clerk in 1870 and later was a
clerk in the revenue marine bureau of
the treasury department, a position
which be held until January last, when
Ill health forced him to resign. His
conversation was marked with the char
acteristics Of his pen work. He was a
great favorite, especially among men.
He was not married.

The Shooting Of Nssro HAS Stirred
 Up a Georea Town.

 The Shooting of Nesro ifks Stirred
 UP a GeorE.a Town.
 BLYTHE, Ga, Sept l5.-On Saturday night, at this place, A. NJ. Clarke, a merchant, shot negro named Steve Roland. The latter was using profane language ill the presence of ladies. Clarke asked him to desist, but Roland continued hs profanity and began to curse and abuse Clarke The negro had an ax in his hand, and Mr Clarke, thinking that he had better arm him. self, went to his house for his shotgun, and when he returned the quarrel was renewed, Roland holding his ax in q threatening manner. They start to- ward each other and Clarke opened fire on the negro, firing three times and wounding him in the arm and body, but not dangerously.
 The population of the place is about 200, the majority of whom are negroes. They became greatly inoensed at the shooting, and threatened to burn the buildings of the whites. The negoes gathered in large numbers in the town with shotguns and pistols and the whites fearing they would carry ont their threats, telegraph to the judge and sheriff of the county at Augusta to send assistance at once. A special train was dispatched from Augusta with 25 men, accompanied by the sheriff and his deputies. When the train arrived ut Blythe, the colored people dispersed at once. The sheriff and his men are now hunting the ringleaders, but it is hardly probable that they will be sue- oessful as they are hiding. Clarke was put under arrest and was carried to Augusta.
 The women and children are very much frightened, but it is believed that since the arrival of the sheriff and posse that the negroes are too scared to at tempt to carry out their threats after the officers leave.

A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT.
Brazil and Italy May Fix Up Then
 Dipute Satisfactorily.


 NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-A correspon- dent in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, tele- graphs to The New York Herald that the Brazilian foreign minister, senor Gerquira, has informed a circle of friends of high standing officially, that he regards the prospects of peaceful settlement of the Italian question as ex- tremely favorable.
 Senor Cerquira says that the good will of the government at Rome is assured. but he does not disguise the fact that the quirinal will certainly demand full satisfaction for all wrongs suffered by the Italians in Brazil before it will con sent to enter into negotiations for the final disposition of the matter.
 Signor Bruno. the Italian representa- tive in Sac Paulo. declared in an inter- view with Senor Cerquira that the situ- ation ill that state was still grave.
 Seven thousand insurgents have left Sac Paulo for Argentine. The United states gunboat Castine will accompany the Argentine fleet in its eyolutions in Brazilian waters.
