T. HECENTURY MAGAZINE FOR
TIE COMING YEAR.

The Century Magazine, with its Nov.
number, enters upon it's twenty sew
enth year. During it's long existence,
by reason Of it's many notable sue
cesses, it has won an assured and
commanding position. During the
coming year The Century will main
tain it's exceptional position as mag
azine of entertainment and as lead
er in art and thought.
It's pictorial features will be nota-
BILE, and it will command the services
of the foremost artists, illustrators
and engravers of this country and
Europe.
Nothing like a complete announce
ment of its literary features can be
attempted now. DR.. Weir Mitchell,
whose novel of the American Revolu
ton, ''Hugh Wynne," is the great
success Of the year, has written a new
story for the present volume. It bears
the piquant title: ''The Adventures
of Francois: Founding, Adventurer,
Juggler and Fencing Master during
the French Revolution" The trle
is full of romance and adventure.
Mrs. Burton Harrison contributes a
new novel of New York life, called
"Good Americans" in which contem-
poraneous social types and tenden-
cies are brightly mirrored and de-
scribed.
There will be group of clever sto-
ries about horses and people who like
horses, under the general title Of
"Galiops." GA Woman's Reminis-
cences of the French Intervention in
Mexico will be given in series of
graphic and highly picturesque pa
pers by Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson
Further contributions to the interest
ing series Of "Heroes of Peace" will
be made by Jacob A. Riis, Gustav
Kobbe. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward,
and others.
For the benefit of readers of The
Century an unusual combination offer
is made for this year. There has been
issued "The Century Gallery of One
Hundred Portraits" made up of the
finest engravings that have appeared
in the magazine, and representing a
total expenditure of nearly $50, OOO
These are printed on heavy platepa
per, with wide margins, like proofs
The retail price of the gallery is $3.50,
but this year it. will be sold only in
connection with subscription to The
Century, the price Of the two together
being Sc so.
