SEDUCERS IN ECUADOR-V. Sackville-West-Doran ($1.50). With adroit indirection, the author acquaints you with the sad end, on the scaffold, of Arthur Lomax.

...action of the Harvard Club of Boston, which recently provided its members with such an agreeable opportunity. In arranging such a dinner and in inviting eminent speakers, the officers are to be highly commended, for they are rounding out the program of opportunities already offered by emphasizing the social aspect, an integral function of any club, which hitherto at the Union has not always received sufficient attention...
