LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE
1899
Thiriy-Second Annual Announcement

Lippincott's is always distinctly pop
ular in the character OF its literature.
1t is not a newspaper, school-book,
nor a pictorial. Having no illustra-
tons, it gives all it's space to useful or
entertaining reading-matter. Admit
ting no serials, each number and each
article is complete in itself. 1t there
fore appe ais especially to the incress-
ing number of persons who object to
stores "to be continued in our next"
We cannot announce the entire pro-
gramme for the year, because L'ppin-
colts is always open, not only to new
contributors, but on occasion to the
speedy use of their competitions:
whereas, detailed prospectus means
that a Magazine is committed to the
stories announced far ahead, irrespec-
tive of the reception of what may be
superior matter. For instance, Mrs.
Burton Harrison's novel in our No
vember issue, was not included in our
announcement for 1898.
1899 will be q woman's year in ic-
ton. Novels will be offered from sew
eral pens hitherto unknown to the gen.
eral public: and one well-known author,
entering on field somewhat different
from that in which che has previously
worked, prefers, in "Green Wythes," to
be anonymous.
There will be articles on National
and inter National subjects, on topics
relating to Nature, literature and So
clal essays and short stories in great
variety--all by competent and we'll
known writer's.

LincOln's Joke.

President Lincoln's jokes, especially
when perpelrated in connection with
grave matters, usually had purpose in
them. After Lee had taken Harper's
Ferry the president, realizing how great
calamity it was to the northern arms,
determined If possible to tx the respon-
sibility for the loss of the important po-
sition.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay. Every
WE'LL" said Lincoln, "I'll ask General
Schenck.' The latter could throw no
| ght upon the question, further than to
say that he was not to blame. Milroy
was the next to be called to the pres
ence of the comman ier-in-chief and to
enter plea of "not guilty." Hooker
was next given a hearing, and Fight
ing Joe made very emphatic disclaim-
er of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled the four
generals in his room and said to them
"Gentlemen, Harper's Ferry was sur
rendered and none of you, it seems, is
responsible. L am very anxious to dis
cover the man who is." After striding
across the room several times the pres
ident suddenly threw up his bowed
head and exclaimed: II have i'll
know who is responsible"
"Who, Mr.. Presidents; who is it?'
asked the distinguished quartet as they
looked anxious, if not troubled.
"Gentlemen,' said the president
with a meaning twinkle in his eye
General Lee is the man."
There was a lack of mirth in the
laugh created, and the four generals
took their departure with determine
ton that they wou Id not again be placed
under suspicion .-Detroit Free Press.

DON'T Libel the American People.

1t is shameful libel upon the Amer
lean people to say that they are not as
capable of giving wise, just, and bene-
fetal government to our colonies as
the English. 1t is a more shameful
libel still to deem them capable, by rea-
son of such cowardly fears, of drawing
back from the high duty which Provi-
dence has imposed upon them of giving
such governments to those people, or
of the stupendous crime of restoring
them to the cruel rule of Spain.-St.

THE SAFE WAY.

General Wheeler has been very conser-
vative in his comments upon the conduct
OF our war with Spain. The bluff. old
soldier has seemed to take the hardships
our troops were subjected to at Santiago
and which he shared, as a matter of
course, and has been inclined to mini
mize The mismanagement of the camps
in this country as thing that was large
ly unavoidable. He has sought to
praise rather than to blame, and mas
been disposed to condone shortcomings
and push merit to the front for recogni-
ton whenever he could do So Indeed.
in the quarrels and amid the elimination
and recrimination that have grown out
of the war, generous-hearted Fighting
Joe" has striven to be peacemaker.
Yet, with all of his conservatism, gen.
erosity, and consideration for others, the
gallant, old ex-Confederate has, 1t ap-
pears, gotten Sampson into trouble.
In speaking the other day of the San
tiago campaign General Wheeler said that
there would have been more pre-
paration and less haste had il not
been for the dispatch from Admiral
Sampson saying that with 10000 men he
could take the city. and so they were
hurried forward" Doubtless, nothing
was farther from General Wheeler's
thoughts when he made this remark than
the idea of doing Sampson injury. None
the less, the Admirars critics are making
1t the text of some very caustic dis
courses upon Simpsons strategy" and
are seeking to unload upon his shoulders
much of the responsibility for the San
tia=o blunders.
The lesson here taught Is. that the only
safe way TO talk 'is not to talk at ALL"

NO NEW DAUGHTER.

The Dispatch regards the question of
appointing a new Daughter of the Con-
federacy as settled" Indeed. there is no
public opinion at ell In the South favor
ing the proposition. General Gordon,
Miss Gordon, and Mrs Mildred Lee, all,
haye been outspoken In disapproval. as
have been those Confederate organiza-
tons that have discussed the matter.
There In no need OF our hearing from
Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hayes. They must
have been mortified at the very thought
OF choosing a successor to their Winnie.
We are glad TO see. too, that Miss Lucy
Lee Hill corrects statements that have
been attributed to her and heartily puts
herself In accord on this subject with
the mass OF the people OF the South. So
the question is settled; properly and
finally settled.
Our Daughter Of the Confederacy is
taking her rest and none other can be
allowed to occupy the place she held
while living Indeed, IL the title were
given TO another-no matter how worthy
that other might belt could not carry
with 1t that dignity and distinction that
attached TO 1t when worn by the daughter
of our President, who was the baby OF

LEE IN NEW YORK.
He Will Testify Before Dodge Com
mission I'm Washington To-day.
(New York Herald)

(New York Herald)
General Fftzhugh Lee said yesterday, In
the Fifth-Avenue Hotel, that he intend
ed to start this morning for Washington,
where he would probably appear before
the commission appointed to investigate
the conduct OF the war. He added tat
his visit here had no political significance
whatever, and was not connected with
any matters pertaining to the army.
When asked for his view of the politi-
cal situation in this State, he declined TO
express any opinion.
After appearing before the commission,
General Lee said, he would reassume
command OF the Seventh Army Corps, in
Jacksonville. He was unable to make
any prediction as TO the time when the
corps would be ordered to service in
Cuba, but thought it would be before the
end of this month.
General Lee said there was no truth In
the statement that the Seventh Army
Corps was being broken up, although a
considerable number of the regiments had
been ordered home.
When l asked the General whether he
thought there had been any unreasond-
BILE delay In the evacuation of Cuba by
the Spanish troops he said that, as far
as he was able TO observe, the Spaniards
were doing as well as could be expected,
in view Of the fact that there were near
ly a hundred thousand men TO be sent
home, and that of these probably 10000
were in hospitals.

sANITARIUM FOR BALD HEADS.

once baid-headed man, who has Just
| returned from the Klondike, has at least
| one good thing to say about Alaska. He
| claims that the climate Of that dreary
| land has restored the capillary substance
which had disappeared from his pate,
| and in proof of his statements he exhibits
profusion of hair which would do credit
to the Circassian girl of a circus.
The gentleman who conveys this start
ling and important information is named
Roderck Dhu Smith. He was a little
diffident about discussing the matter at
first, but after undergoing a reportorial
pumping he talked freely. He intimated
that his badness was one of the reasons
for his going TO the Klondike. Indeed
it is said that prior to his departure he
had squandered his patrimony on hair
restorers and that he was compelled to
seek other fortunes in order to exist
Mr.. Smith-we regret that his name lacks
the suggestion of acknowledgements
that the intense cold in the Arctic FL
Dorado kills all the germs and microbes
and stimulates the scalp, while mature
does the rest" He proudly exhibits a
lion-like name as a proof of the good
fortune which has fallen to his lot.
Another gentleman who has spent
twelve years in Alaska, but who, unfor-
tunately, has never met Smith, partially
corroborates the statements that that
much blessed individual has made in re-
gard to the hair-restoring qualities Of the
Klondike atmosphere. He never had the
misfortune, like Roderick, TO be bald but
he has observed that the dogs carried
there soon put on an unusual amount of
hair; indeed, they get as shaggy as Shet-
land ponies. This second pilgrim from the
frozen North further asserts that he
remembers seing no bald-headed man
in Alaska. 1t struck him that most of
the inhabitants of that bleak country
were badly in need Of scissors and shears,
The scientific world has always been
uncertain as to the why's and wherefores
of badness. Many reasons are assigned
for the absence or disappearance of the
hair Most of the remedies for sale are
Enthusiastically and none but the desperate
are willing to risk experiments with them.
The experiences of the late Tittlebat
Titmouse, who undertook to dye his
auburn locks, have served for years as
warning TO those who would tinker
with the hair-or lack of it. There are
cases on record in which the hair has
never been developed. This is called con-
genital badness. And then again, We
sometimes hear of instances where the
hair has continued to grow after death.
Badness with the young is caused by
wearing hats which prevent evapora-
ton and occasion an unhealthy state Of

atrophy Is thing which we, the victims |
OF Fly time" would like very much TO |
know.

NO HURRY.

A contemporary remarks that 80 far
there has been no evidence Of assessment
for Republican campaign purposes.
Don't worry. There has been no need
for Hanna TO hurry in this matter. At
the close of the last presidential cam
paign it was given out that the Repu5li-
can National Committee had In hand a
balance of 100000, and that it would
"be employed in the next congressional
election" Therefore, 1t would seem that
Hanna has been in position to keep his
methods going up to date without making
call.
1t does not follow, however, that the
squeezing PROCESS will not come later, If
necessary.
