With the end of 1896 Harper's Weekly
will have lived forty years. In that
time ii has participated with all the
zeal and power at its command in the

spirit and purpose, as these have been
manifested principally in its editorial
pages. it will continue to be so.
1t is impossible to announce with pre-
cision all that the Weekly will contain
during the year 1897. 1t were as easy
to announce what is about to happen
in the WORLD, what triumphs for
GOOD GOVERNMENT are to be won.
what ADVANCES of the PEOPLE are
to be made. what is to be the outcome
of the continuous struggle between the
spirits of WAR and PEACE, what is to
happen in the FAR EAST. what is to
be the STATE OF EUROPE twelve
months hence. what NEW MARVELS
OF SCIENCE are to be revealed, or
what are to be the ACHIEVEMENT
OF ARTS AND LETTERS, for the
Weekly is to be a pictorial record of all
this.

THE TOPICS are always those which
are uppermost in the public mind
in morals, politics, science, Hteratu re,
business, finance, industrial economy,
social and municipal affairs, etc.-in
short all subjects which Americans
require and desire to be informed. No
magazine follows so closely from month
TO month the course OF public interest.
All subjects are treated of impartially
on both sides.
THE CONTRIBUTOR 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 writers.
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 at
tention to subjects that are of particu-
lar interest to women.

THE ELLIS ISLAND FlRE
Is Supposed to Have Been
Set by 1ncendiaries.
INVESTIGATION WILL BE MADE
Ten Millions Of Railroad ieN
Thought to Have Burned-one
of Them Turns Up.

New York. Dec. 10 Facts have
come to light that suggest the posi-
bility that the mysterious ire tina, DE-
stroved the great immigrant buildings
on Ellis island few months ago was
started By thieves, who had careiuii!
MANNED a $4,000, 600 robbery, says
the Journal and Advertiser today len
Of the trunk lines leading TO the west
inclndine the New York Central, the
pennsylvania. the Erie, the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western and the Ne"
YORK Ontario & Western, unite IN
maintaining a railroad on the island,
and AT all time. there are quantities OF
tickets there.
General Ticket Agent Robinson, OF
the Ontario & Western. says that on
the night OF the fire conservative es-
innate wonld place the value OF tickets
in the island Office at $40. 600, 600
The tickets, with much cash, were
locked in drawers in wooden cases and
desks and the entire parcel was sup
posed to have been totally destroyed.
The different roads posted notices that
il tickets of a certain form and series
should be presented, they should De
taken up and fare demanded.
A few days ago a ticket issued ny
the Ontario & Western from Chicago
to Kansas City was received from pas
senger and found to be one of the tex
cts supposed TO have been burned. The
part Of the ticket calling for passage
from New York to Chicago has not yet
been presented.
Now the officials are asking how
many other tickets out OF the $40, 00O,-
600 worth are in existence. 1t Is
deemed not impossible that the entire
lot was stolen and held until conductors
should forget the warning.
Commissioner Senner, who was in
charge of Ellis island at the time OF the
fire, deems the hypothesis by no means
improbable.
The origin of the fire was never
learned" ne said. at began in a
tower OF the main building some dis
lance from the Offices occupied by the
railroad people. Every one OF the gov.
eminent guards were busy getting the
immigrants safely out. It is no, i'm
possible that thieves deliberately start
ed the fire in the expectation, justified
by events. that the ticket Office would
be quickly deserted"
General Ticket Agent Robinson said
he could scarcely believe that any such
wholesale robbery had taken place.
II have communicated with other
roads. and they have had no such tick.
cts presented as yet. l think it more
likely tina, the report OF sales for the
day preceding the fire was not correct.
/ OF course, though. il someone had used
that ticket. ii it was honestly disposed
OF, it should have turned up sooner.
An investigation will be made.
