VISITORS TO EDITORIAL ROOMS.

VISITORS TO EDITORIAL ROOMS.
This brings us to another point, and
one upon which we have often felt like
saying something. The Springfield in
terviewer, when he visited the Gazette
office, thought he had reason to feel he
was not treated politely. He found
several persons in the office, all at work,
who did not drop their pens and rise to
their feet when he approached. They
answered his questions in as few words
as possible, and without looking up,
perhaps. That wa not polite, but it is
a species of impoliteness that has be-
come a necessity in the editorial room
of newspapers {; and people who visit
such places on their own business must
calculate upon apparently cool recep-
tons. Not all who visit editorial rooms
are intruders N bores, but a great many
are, and these are SO numerous that all
visitors are looked upon with some de-
gree of suspicion until their business
becomes known. 1t is never pleasant to
be Interrupted in editorial work. 1t has
a tendency to make men cross. There
is a pressure upon editors. They work
nearly all the time under q pressure.
Often their ideas do not flow freely, and
when they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in a mood to spend much
time upon those who interrupt them.
We suppose it is safe to say that
three-fourths of those who call to see
"the editor" have no business properly
with that individual. Often they do
not know him personally, and in order
to find him they interrupt half a dozen
or a dozen men, who have important
work to do, and only a limited time to
10 it in. Then, if they receive short
answers, they feel aggrieved and talk
about impolite treatment.
The editorial rooms of a newspaper
establishment are private, and are only
to be visited, except as a matter of
favor, by those who have business that
concerns the editor. The best way, if
people have something to say to al ed
itor, is to write it down and send it TO
him. This would save time on bot
sides, and answer a better purpose, nine
times out of ten, than a personal inter-
yiew.-Cincinnati Gazette.

A FINE POINT IN La ".

John Goodman, the murderer of an
old married couple, was hanged rec emit
ly, at Ottawa, Ohio. The murder, com
mitted last April, was a most brutal one,
and before his execution Goodman con-
fessed to the deed. There was no ques-
ton as to the justice of the death YER
dict in his case, but there arose another
very fine question out of the murder,
one not yet finally decided. Old Mr..
and Mrs. Haywood, the couple muir
dered, were a singular pair. They
lived alone and did not agree very
well. They lived on a small farm, and
the property was owned separately,
Mr.. Haywood owning the land and
par of the stock, the old lady the
household furniture, part of the stock,
and money in bank. The manner of
the murder was as follows Goodman
resolved to commit the deed for the
sake of plumber. He secured q gun
and visiting the house upon a trivial pre-
text got the old man to accompany
him toward the woods. Dropping be-
hind Haywood, Goodman then shot
him through the head, seeming to kill
him instantly. The murderer then
rified the body and proceeded again
toward the house. AS he approached
he saw the old lady, who had heard the
shot and expected evil, running away.
Goodman fired and the old lady fell,
when he ran up and finished the deed
by cutting her throat from ear to ear.
So much ai.out the murder. Now comes
in the question as to where the prop
erty of the murdered couple shall go.
Both man and woman were illegitimate
children neither had children, and, in
the event of the death of one of them,
the property would go to the other.
The one Of the two who died last would
die possessed Of all the property, and
would, III turn. transmit it to distant
heirs. Two groups OF heirs are now
demanding the estate, M group claim
ing it from the murdered man, another
demanding it as representatives of the
murdered man The question then
arises as to whether or not the Old gen.
tleman was thoroughly dead before his
wife Was killed, and the counsel for the
heirs of the latter demanded and Sc
cured the ante-mortem deposition of
the nan who was hanged. He thought
the old man dead before the woman
was killed, and if his word is deemed
good IN court Mrs. Haywood's heirs will
win the case. The case is a singular
one.
