Frank E. Sweetser, who has been elected to edit the new paper announces that the publication will be approximately the same size as the Daily Record, but will resemble that paper in no other manner. It will be four pages in length, and will probably be sold at ten cents a copy, although no definite decisions have been made concerning the price. Since the year is rapidly drawing to a close, only one issue has been planned for the remainder of the year. However, if the success of the paper warrants it, another issue will be undertaken which will appear...
Shrewdly timed to touch obliquely on current Jew-baitings in Germany and mishaps on the stock exchange, The House of Rothschild is an historical picture in the grand manner, conducted with splendid energy and style. "Dignity" is what old Mayer Amschel Rothschild advises his sons to acquire. The picture, like Nathan Rothschild, is dignified without being stupid.

His son, his sister, his half-brother change from suspects to victims. The "Judge's" delving into the past unearths both the cause and manner of the killing. EPILOGUE-Bruce Graeme-Lippincott ($2). A suggestion for the rest of Dickens' unfinished story of Edwin Drood...
...woman who had a small finger infection was studiously disregarded until the infection had spread throughout her entire arm. An epileptic who, as the attendant put it, "stopped tipping when her money ran low," was deserted in the throes of a fit. The story runs on in this manner to tell of sick being left to die, of aged beaten into submission, of inedible food, of medication by inexperienced and brutal attendants; no horror is absent, and the fact that it is told by the attendants themselves is eloquent proof of its veracity. Tam-many's record is long...
