A GROCER ON THE HERALD

From sn ably written article In the Amev1oan cnoA
Ger, graphically describing an after-midnight vnie
to the HERALD ONCE, we extract the following tro-
ute to what 1t recognizes as business enterprise.

Bennett Is TO make 1t the best newspaper in tho
world, totally regardless OF expense. glance at
the enormous sums expended Tor the accomplish
ment OF this capital design Will stagger the timtd,
eoniound the nervous and astonish the unlntiated.

MOST important represen tatives OF the American

means not only OF collecting but also of transmit-
ting intelligence with the utmost celerity. The
amounts paid ior the support OF this widely rant

divldual cases but the aggregate Is larger than
any other paper could afford to pay. The Shipping

The world Is familiar with the eXtraOrdt-

Nor can the public forget with what lavish hand
Mr.. Bennett spent thousands upon the Abyssiniaa
campaign, the Franco Prussian war, the military
occupation OF Khlva and the late wariKe demon

splendid and growing success OF the HERALD, and
