Mr.. Charles A. Dana has been CIV
ing his views on New York City
journalism, He says q great improve.
ment is noticeable. Better talent is
now employed. "a competent writer
OF leaders will be paid from 800 to
Sl5O per week; and no man fit TO
supervise them and perform the func.
tlons OF editor-in chief can be had for
less than from $3.50 to 5000 per week.
The reporters are of two classes
Those of the regular staff paid by the
week at rates varying from $50 to $780,
These perform not only the routine
duties Of reporting, but are ALWAYS
prepared to be sent off upon special
service, in which case their railroad
fares, carriage hire, hotel bills and
other expenses are paid by the Office.
Then there are a number of reporters
who are attached to each paper who
are paid according to the work thew
perform and without having any pre.
scribed functions, and should be
IN readiness to do whatever NAV
be necessary. know several men
who, without having any regular
salaries. will average from $50 to SIS
a week. Of these two classes of re-
porters a 6rst-rate paper must employ
about fifty. In Washington each
newspaper has need of regular GORE.
spondents or reporters and of occa.
sional contributors, and the different
papers differ as to the respective mum.
bers of these two classes. In ALBANY
each New York paper must have its
regular staff devoted to this service
la Europe every leading paper has
its regular staff of correspondents
There must be correspondent in
London and one in Paris, who report
constantly either by post or cable"
1t will be seen from this estimate that
making newspaper is no child's play
The day is past when a great daily
could be gotten out with one man
whose desk was his hal, and who wrote
heavy leaders" while seated on an

william Winter in N. Y. Tribune.
Miss Anderson was welcomed by
the great audience with far resound>
ing tumult of gladness. Your readers
know her gracious and lovely figure:
her thoughtful, gentle presence; her
eager, sensitive countenance; her regal
yet delicate dignity upon the stage.
The stately and sweet image Of woman
and queen, she stood here tonight
In q garden of roses, the loveliest
Of them all and not one heart in this
vast assemblage that did not beat with
pride and joy in the success of the
brave and true American girl. Her
performance of Julia is no new thing
l need not again describe its propriety
OF ideal, its gradual growth in dra>
matlc development, its freedom from
conventional points, its deep tender
ness andit final magnificent burst of
eloquent passion. Her voice bore
wonderfully we'll the great strain to
which it was subjected. She has
never acted the part with greater
abandonment of self, or richer variety
OF treatment, and never under such
trying circumstances. Just after her
first entrance, part of a drop came
crashing to the stage in front of her.
and after Julia had tainted in act
second, another drop. and the wrong
one, came down behind instead Of be-
fore her sO that she had 20 r;oo III
falter from the stage. Her adroit
presence Of mind in these emerpen
cies, however, matched the need Of
tie occasion. After the third curtain
fell a large banner Of flowers depend.
ing from green standard was borne
to her across the fOotlights, inscribed
Americas PRIDE" and was the sig
nal for wild and continued uprosr
OF delight. This night belonged ex.
clusively to Mary Anderson, and al
ways will be memorable in her career

The City Clocks to be Set Back to Con-
form to the standard Time To-day
How the New Order of Things is
Looked Upon by Manufacturers and
aferchants-The schools and street
Railways.
In accordance with the resolution in-
trOduced by Alderman Thomas at tne La.
meeting Of the City Council, and adopteu
by that body last Wednesday night oy
vote Of to 1. the Keeper OF CITY CLOCKS
viii today set back the time pieces IN the
CIV Exchange and the Independent
PRESBYTERIAN Church, and the city offices,
&c minutes
The change will be made at l. o'clock
m. that is TO say, when It snail ne y
O'Clock bv city time the time-pleces VIII
be set back to indicate ll:25 O'Clock,
which hour Will be the standard railway
time to which the city clocks Will con-
form after that hour.
The railways adopted the new or stard-
ard time on the 18TH Of last month. since
when all the leading municipal corpora
ttOns. banking institutions. express COM
panies. ETC.. throughout the country, have
ADOPTED il. and those Of their employees
who formerly were compelled 10 coh-
mence work at = O'Clock IN the morning
have since begun their labors iOr the DAY
al 6. - O'Clock a. IN. by the standard time.
4 number Of firms have hesltated 10 regu-
late their time-pieces ny the standard
for the reason that during the winter
months their hands would not have sur
iciant light bv which to work until about
: O'Clock. hence the firms claimed that
they would virtually lose the services Of
their employees about thirty minutes
each day. Other firms adopted the
time and in order TO be lndl-
rectlv compensated for what they
designate as lost time have signitied their
intention TO advance the price Of their
manufactures. Whether the leading
manufactures of the country will also
advance their prices on manufactured
goods is a question not definitely an
swered. The adoption Of the new time
bv all the leading industries VIII, now
ever, be followed by an adjustment OF
prices 50 that consumers VIII not sul1er
on account Of the change. In this city
the hours OF manufacturing and mercan-
tile houses. the public schools, the street
railways. the banks and the city offices
have been regulated by city time, but
after l:3j O'Clock this morning they will
be regulated by standard time. In fact,
the banks will open this morning at y
o'clock standard time and close 4 at
O'Clock in the afternoon. After to- ay
all the employees Of the city. who here
tofore labored from : a. IN. to 6 O'Clock p.
m. viii begin work at $3.50 a. m, old
time. which virtually means : O'Clock IN
the morning, taking the time by the city
and railway clocks after to-day. These
employees will cease their labor in the
afternoon at q o'clock, standard time, or at
$3.50 O'Clock p. M, old time. Hence, under
the resolution introduced by Alderman
Thomas and adopted BY Council, all per-
sons who have been in the habit of work
ing for the city from : o'clock in the
morning until 6 O'Clock in the evenin 2
will, to-day only, have 30 minutes in their
favor.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
The Work of Laying Out New streets
South of Anderson Street.


At the time the Yamacraw ire occurred
the city authorities were about preparing
a plan for laying out the city south oil
Anderson street. The fire, however, made
the Iong-talked-of improvements OF the
thoroughfares in Yamacraw possibility,
and the entire attention Of City Council
was given to that important question.
The details for that matter are now settled
and the streets will be opened and WIDEN
ed as provided in the ordinance.
The work of laying of the city south Oh
Anderson street will now be pushed for
ward without further delay. Col. W. j.
VIM. an experienced engineer, has been
engaged to assist the City Surveyor, MT.
j. B. Howard, in preparing plat Tor the
new part of the city, and will enter upon
the duties of his office this morning. Inc
first thing to be done, it IS UNDERSTOOD, Is
to prepare map showing the
location of all improvements WITHIN the
extended limits. When this IS done
plan interfering as little as possible Win
such houses. lots and streets, VIII Dc. pre-
pared. The idea is to extend all tie streets
running north and south, and make the
cross streets about as wide as Broughton
street. The progress of the work Will be
looked forward to with interest by our
citizens.
