time. l am glad he has got It,"

man, deliberately educated, makes an
amusing and instructive speech, can
write a newspaper full In two or three
hours, and have In 1t everything -
logic, fun, poetry, romance yes, and
have his paper chuck full Of news in
the bargain"
"He must dictate, then, to two or
more short. hand writers?"
Undoubtedly"
"Did you ever hear him make a
speech2'
"No, I never did,"
"Well, he Is Just immense. Iheard
him In the Tllden campaign. Well, it
was at the Cooper Institute, on the
Saturday night before the election.
There were a number of speakers who
preceded him. Judge Blair was one.
The audience became FESTIVE, and a
great many started to go cut just as
Joe commenced to talk, but they
stayed, however. He only said a few
words, and they took seats, all of
them. Each fellow saw that there
was o treat in store for them, end
thers was. Pulitzer lot himself out In
his wonderful style. Sometimes you
could hear a pin drop; at other times
the hall would shake with cheers,
Old Peter Cooper was there, and
greenbacker that he was, he enjoyed
Palitzer very much; he moved his
rubber air cushion two or three times
about the chair he sat upon, before
Pulitzer got through"

to do with the Post Dispatch In ST.
Louls2'

"No, l think not. His brother 1,
Its editor. He told me the last time
saw him that he only had an interes
In that paper"
"Well, that is as bright as 1t can be
1t Is said to be the finest penny paper
known anywhere-ao every newspape
man says. The idea that a strang
man could come to New York an
make such q taking paper In so shor
q time Is wonderful. Almost every
body reads 1t. l have sometime
thought that Joe Pulitzer wired 1t
editorials from st. Louie; they are 8
much like his style of writing"
, "Pulitzer war born In Germany
|, was he not}'
"Yes; but no one could tell 1t by hi
speech. Ho was q German republlca,
with Carl Schurz. l thirk Schur
first emrloyed him to help him edit
paper In St. Louis. But he grew RICH
over Schurz They qusrrel!ed an
