The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1903-09-03

one that the publishers are at least
approximating their expressed purpose
to make magazine for Everybody.
The IA pages which they are running
enables them to cover vastly larger
number and vastly wider variety of
subjects than is possible to the average
ten.cent magazine with its SO pages.
In this September number of Ever
, body's it would seem as if every phase
, of human activity and human interest
has representation. A happy faculty
is shown by the publishers in selecting
their writer's. Thus for the article
which appeared in the August number
entitled "a Successor to Pope Leo" q
lies. was secured F. Marion Crawford,
the most eminent Catholic writer in
the world and the official biographer of
the Pope. And in the September num-
| Der each writer is specially welf1fitted
| to handle the subject he undertakes.
The special timeliness of its princi-
pal articles gives more than usual in
terest to the September Pearson's-Leo
XIII and the Papacy, by George Bar
ton; Sir Thomas Lipton's Own Tale of
his quest of the blue ribbon of the Sea;
The Russo American Jew, by Alexan-
der Hume Ford; Old Home Week. by
John Preston True, with an introduce
ton by Ex-Governor Rollins; Grand
Opera in English, by James Clarence
Hyde, and Fighting Fire Above the
Clouds, by Robert Wells Richie, are
all good articles, well illustrated. A
uuartette of short stories: The Girl at
Potchefstroom, by Owen Oliver; Tan
gled Wires, by Kenneth Brown; HIS
Last Sou" by William Macleod Ralne,
and The Deadlock, by ID. j.. Layton,
supplies the lighter reading: The Ears
of the Governor of Castelleno, by x.
and Hesketh Prichard is another exclt-
ing adventure of the resourceful bandit
chief-Don @. Sir Henry Morgan
Buccaneer, by Cyrus Townsend Brady,
continues his career of bloodshed and
devastation, while in An Involuntary
Suicide, the adventures of The Plea
rooms are entertainly continued. Cor
don Power on Things in General is
humorous feature Just added to the
magazine and Home Notes, in the back
advertising pages, cannot fail to inter
est all women readers. Decidedly, a
number of the magazine that one
should not miss.
Sir Thomas Upton, in an article
in the September Cosmopoll-
tan on "My Efforts to Win the Amerl-
cas- Cup" draws attention to the per.
sonal danger attending the sailing OF
the modern racing yacht. In addition
to being menace, these racing ma
chimes, he declares, are practically use
less. When the races are ended, they
are worth only as much as the metal
within them will bring, Other timely
articles in the same number OF Inc

Servian Tragedy" by Ebert Hubbard,
and an account of the Papal Conclave,
