BENFACTORS - DIRECT AND md
RECT,

In conversation with II gentleman OF wide
acquaintance with the celebrities of TODAY,
We were particularly impressed by the vivid
and graphic pictures he drew OF two journ-
ists, equally favored by fortune, but pursu-
ng different courses, that, however, lead to
common end, and that is perfec-
ton in journalism. The gentlemen
referred to are Mn, GEORGE WASHINGTON
CuiLps, of the Philadelphia Ledger, and
Mr.. JAMES GoRpoN BENNETT, OF
the New York Herald. Mn.
CuILps," said the narrator, lis
ono OF natures nobemen, His heart beats
in response 10 every pulsation OF common
humanity, have often thought that he
came nearer filling the requirement of the
Scrptura injunction, Let not thy right
hand know what thy left doeth,' than any
man of our age" And then he launched
into an eloquent recital of the many good
deeds which have endeared tho name OF
CuILps to all who know him, especially to
the halt and manned in the journey of life
but this is not sermaino TO the spirit OF
this article. "How about JIM BENNETT %
