The rnagh/lnfs for March arc generally of a praiseworthy character and some of them Hhow decided Improvement over previous months. The majority of them still present an nbundatico of war material , the most of It matter that has already been covered by the ilally press so that It cannot claim attention by reason of. Its freshness. In fact the only thins that In any way com mends many of these articles to public at tention Is the prominence of the writers who , In most cases , were iictlvo partici pants in the events described. In one way it IH hardly Just to offer this as a criticism , ns the magazines do not aim to supersede the dally press as purveyors of current newt , but rather to supplement the press by going inoro abundantly Into detail. In this latter rcBpoct they are moat successful nnd no I/orson / can read the mag.i/lrros regularly without becoming thoroughly well informed concerning the current events of the world , It has been observed , and possibly with good reason , that"many readers make the mistake of limiting their magazine reading to one , two or three of the most popular publications. There nro a large number of cheap magazines which contain n vast amount of valuable Information and a small mini set asldo monthly for their put chase would yield the Investor largo returns In the way of n liberal education The most Interesting or Important article in a magazine Is not always to ho found at the beginning. Sometimes a striking feature is secured when halt the forms are ready for the press and room has to bo rnailu for It near the latter end of the magazine. It was BO with General Shatter's "Capture of San tiago , " In the February Century ; It Is HO again this month with Major General Greene's "Capture of Manila" General Orceno IB the author of the standard history of the last Turco-Husslan war and of other military works.

A moro momentous war than that of 1898 Is the hilbject of Prof. Wheeler's papers on Alexander the Great , the current Installment of which Is de voted to the Macedonian victory at Issus. Though Mr. Crawford's "Via Cruets" Is a romairco of the Second Crusade , there la no warfare In the present chapters ; and peace , not war , is celebrated most entertainingly by General Sherman In the diary of his tour of Europe in 1871-72. That an American woman has become vlceielno of India gives special Interest to the opening article , "At the Court of nn Indian 1'rlnco.

Her husband Is night watchman for the Paik commission and the Incident occurred duiing his absence. Mrs. Haltermau had awakened nt nbout 2 o'clock. She had not gone to sleep again when she felt a draught of air. She was about to get up and look to see from whence It came when she saw a man appear In the doorway. Thinking It was her husband she did not speak. She saw the man pick up a chair and move It out of his way. In doing BO she got a view of his face from the front and in profile. She decided what she would do Instantly and proceeded to put her plan Into execution by screaming and leaping from the bed. The Intruder started to run and she followed , grabbing a revolver as she puuucd him. Ho made for the rear door and ns ho vvaa going out she fired , but missed him. She followed him out into the snow In her night dress and bare feet. Ho ran behind a nand box and emerged again when he discovered that she was still pursuing him. As he came out nho fired four times at him without effect. Ho ran down street so rapidly that aho was unable to overtake him. She listened , however , and noticed that she could not hear the echo of his foot- bteps after he had run about two blocks She returned to her house and found that ho had entered tlnough a rear door by means of a key. She made up tier mind not to icport It until she saw the man again , as she vvns sure she could Identify him. She wan down town Monday and met him on the street. In the meantime the attempted burglary had been reported to Captain Don- ohoo and Jio sent Officers Drurnmy and Mitchell out to BOO Mrs Haltcrman. She gave them such a definite description ol the man that < liey settled upon John Lyncli .immediately . , who lives about two blocks from the HaltermaBis. Ho was arrested and Mrs. Halterman saw him at the jail. She could not say whether or not she identified him until ho had been placed In exactly the Eomu positions ho occupied at her house Then she Informed the officers tliat she wet positive ho was the man , Ho vvlll be charged with burglary.

Slow progress , and that apparently of a baokwml character , was made In the Sud borough trial In the afternoon. The pruso- cutlon managed to Introduce as evidence a lot of the auditor's statements covering months In 1SU4 and the first part of ism , with corresponding entries In the classi fication books of the Pacific Express com pany , for the purpose of showing that In each Instance there was a discrepancy of $1,000 , that Is to sny , that the entries In the classification books were Invariably $1,000 bhort. In this , way something like an alleged shortage of $18,000 was traced previous to the tlmo covered by the statute of limitation. The most strenuous efforts were made by Sudborough's lawyers to keep out this testi mony. Judge Baker said It would be ad mitted only for the purpose of show Ing Sudborough's knowledge and criminal in tent , if any. Hunt was permitted to go Into the state of affairs , of the auditing department when he first took hold of the "ofllce bank. " Ho said he then called the attention of Sud borough to certain items on the cash books which he. did not understand , but Sudbor ough assured him that they would be ulti mately explained. A conversation relative to these Items was once had in which Aud itor IJcchel participated as well as Sudbor- ough. To quote Hunt on this : "Bechcl said to mo , 'What are the Items to which you refer ? ' I opened the books and pointed to nn Item of about $14,000. Dcchel said to Sudbqrough , 'What does thh mean ? ' Then Dcchel nnd Sudborougb , at the latter's suggestion , went Into Mr. Bech- el's private olllce and later Dcchel re appeared nnd went out and Sudborough fol lowed in a short time. Sudborough said to rap , 'Well , it's all right , ' and ho went out and 1 put the book awny. " Company Uookn In Kililcncc. Books of the company wcro placed in the hands of the witness and as ho Identified certain entries they were offered in cu- dcnco singly , the defense objected nt every fctep Thp amount of the puliculii item of shortfji } jlluded to 'by ' Hunt was given s\s \ $11,10284. County Attorney Shields drew out ct the witness the suLstanco of certain other conversations , despite the objections fiom the othci side that they cojld not properly lo iec.elved as admisslous or con- fppslons of their client to. ching things be- foie the three yoais. Hunt said that during one of the conversations with Sudborough the latter mhl&ucl him that "by making fictitious entries in the classification books , the t.ilapoc can led by the cash books could be reduced from month to month. " A charge of $1,000 to the "idvanco account" of dite July il , 1 94 , for example , vvjs made in the cla-sillcatiuii book and this atuoiint , w.is then d'ducteu from the balance cairi j by the cash hook. The auditor's statements for 1801 and 1S)5 ! ) and the corresponding entiles , each bhovvlns an entry $1,000 less than the statement called for , were admitted In evidence ono afier another , the court overruling the re peated objections of the defense and ex ceptions being taken with formal piecislon every time. The effect of each discrepancy , ' explained Hunt , was to reduce the earnings of the company that much and , at each time , to lessen the shortage. Thus an item from an auditor's statement showing cash receipts amounting to $3,000 G6 , dated February 28 , 1S94 , was entered on the class ification book as $2C00.5C and likewise n statement Hhovvlng an amount of $3"iG.Sl ! ) , March 31 , was entered as ? 2,5C1 86 and so on , In a little whliu the shortage was reduced , to $10,504 10. Hunt testified further that ull these fnlso entries were made by moans eli i diafls , for which there were no vouchers , under the instructions of both Auditor liechel nnd Chief Clerk Sudborough.
