any bills. When this state of things was

missioner sold the property, which
brought Sl,5J6. Half of this was eaten up
in costs, and the balance went to satisfy
the judgment. Judge Newman ordered d
decree for the remainder 10 be entered
against Akers Bros, as individuals, the
amount of this decree being nearly

LITERARY NOTES.

With the exception of the noted
Worlds Fair number of the COSnOpol-
itan, which reached price of i've
dollars a copy after the last edition
had been eXhaused, no stronger num-
of this magazine has ever been is
sued than that for July, 1897. The
report of Julian Hawthorne, the
special Commissioner sent by the
Cosmopolitan to India to investigate
the horrors of the plague and famine,
is Of an extraordinary character, and
will open the eyes of the world to con
ditions which were scarcely suspect
ed. The same plumber contains what
is probably the greatest poem Of this
quarter of the nineteenth century.
Amelie RiveS reappears as a story
teller for the first time since her
marriage with Prince TroubetzkOy.
One of the clevereSt yet from the pen
of Robert w. Chambers is given.
The remarkable story of the War of
the Martians, by Wells, which is at
tracing the attention both of the
scientific and non-scientitic good
story-loving public, is continued, and
there is fourth story by Beckett,
deliberately illustrated by the humor
of Peter Newell. President Gilman,

The city of Cleveland seems to be
suffering most from the coal strike. 1t
is said that the supply there is very
short, and incalculable injury will be
wrought in few days if coal cannot
be had. Mills and shops of all kinds
will be obliged to shut down throwing
thousands of men out of employment,
the street cars are likely to be obliged
to suspend running, and worse then
all the city water works may be
obliged to shut down. At Chicago it
is said supply of coal can be obtained
to last three months, so that the shut
ting off of water is not in danger.
