HE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN OF November 15th says: “THE CENTURY, in this series of war papers, of which Grant’s form the greatest, is doing a rare and important service to history, as well as to the entertain- ment of its readers. Other magazines follow Its lead, but none rivals it.” While the war series will be continued during the coming year, this is only one of the features of the new volume, which opens with the November number, now for sale on all news-stands. The fiction will include serial stories by W. D. Howells, George W. Cable, and Mary Hailock Foote, and the editors intend to make an especial point of good short stories. Mark Tywain’s contribution to the War Series will be printed in the Decem- ber number, with numerous illustrations by Kemble, and “maps and plans” by the author. By a special offer the numbers of the past year ean be had at a low price with new publica- tions. 1t LOUISE POMEROY. HERZOG'S NINTH STREET OPERA HOUSE THIS EVENING, AS YOU LIKE IT.

Senators and Representatives Who Favor a Change—Views of Represen- tative Springer. Some of the Senators are taking an Interest in the movement for a change of the House rules on the ground that the Senate suffers from the ovstiuctive character of those rules; that mea- sures of public Interest and importance which are passed by the Senate and which frequently have the active favor and support of a majority of the House members, fail because the rules permit a maority to dictate. Senator Voor- hees In spe.king to several members of the House, expressed the hope that the effort to changes the rules may succeed. Representative Springer said to a Star repor- ter that the movement in tavor of a better code ms tobe very popular.
