The Thrice-a-Week World has made special arrangements for the year 1905. Its already jfreat news service has been extended and, as heretofore, it will report all important events promptly, accurately and impartially. An original and striking feature ot the Thrice-a-Week World in 1905 will be its serial publication of the strongest and best fiction that has ever appeared in the columns of any newspaper. The novels already-arranged for, and which are by writers known throughout the world, are: eSFORB THI DAWN. By Joseph A.
