This series is by Fannie M. Lothrop,. the well-known author and the ablest writer in this line in America today. For several years she has been a writer and critic on the leading publications of New York and Philadelphia. For this work Mrs. Lothrop has a double fitness; from the literary side her knowledge of the great people of the day and her original way of putting things, and from the artistic side, her close acquaintance ,with the .world's famous people fits her pre-eminently to select the best possible views of her subjects. To her belongs the distinctive honor of possessing the largest col. lection of portraits in the world, now numbering over 400,000—a treasury of portraiture unapproached by that of any museum or library in existence. The time, patience, concentration of purpose, industry and systematic atten- tion to detail expended in arranging such a collection is remarkable. "Mrs. Lothrop," says a famous critic, "has unusual ability in presenting the vital elements of a man's character so cleverly, so deftly, and subordinat- ing dates and details, that from her pen we get in a few lines living biog- raphies that show the real man, his qualities and his life, more effectively than In whole pages by other writers. Some artists can give more in a thumb. nail sketch than others can present in a panoramic painting." Mrs. Lothrop passed her girlhood years in Wisconsin, her native State. Her father, I. F. Mack, a New England gentleman of that class we fondly term "the old school," was a lawyer, educator and thinker of rare power and singular clearness of mind. He founded the public schools of Rochester, N. Y., and was identified with all local movements during his residence there, removing thence to Wisconsin, where he became prominent and wealthy by reason of his legal, talent. Mrs. Lothrop's mother 18 a cousin of John Pier - pont, the American poet, who was the grandfather of J. Pierpont Morgan. For two years Mrs. Lothrop was a student of Oberlin, College, standing highest in her plass, and a graduate of the Normal College of Chicago, where her musical genius early attracted attention. She is brilliant in conversation and well informed on all topics of the, day, though not a "new woman" in any sense of the -word. In the library of her home in New York, filled with the best works of the best thinkers, she +does all her literary work. latera! according to Ant of the rarllemenkotCanada, In theyearINH, by W. 0, Mack, at the Departmental Aprteuttero. and killedand t u' 0 Thursday, as o T la oda.

To give ap Harbin now would simply oat off Kirin and Vladivostok from outside help, and would eventually leave Line. vital) and his army oomplately surround• ed, and with uo hope of obtaining either men or soppliee from Resale. It be stated also that the Russians are aseembting a foroe for the purpose of invading Korea from the Northeast as a means of deteading Vladivostok and meeting a diversion, and that with tole end in view 15,000 men have been collect- ed on the left bank of the Tomer river. Snob a force for such a purpose ie, how- ever, ridiculously inadequate.

If Togo merely picks off and cripples a few Russian ships on their way to Vladivostok he may well be eatie- fled, Once the Russians take refuel there Togo can hold them virtually prim• onere with his mines, submarines and torpedo fleet while ()yam invests the piaae. The two Admirals enter the campaign from different points of view. The Russian mast favor a direot feet of etrengtb, the Japanese oboose rather to rely on eeamaoebip and strategy.
