THE new pope is spoken of as
resembling* the late Phillips
Brooks, both in features and in
character. If he shall measure
up to that beloved American
divine in intellectuality, spirit

breadth of his sympathies, the

WE ARE told that Gen. A. Miles
will be elected commander-in
chief of the G. A. R. at the nation

gressive theatrical managers
haven't gobbled up the general's
press agent before this.
JUST what the promoters of
the book agents' union now be

accomplish is something of a
mystery. It is to be hoped that
the members will go on a strike
every time the public refuses to
buy a book.
