A former printer, now a wciLknown
journalist, said recently to a newspaper
nan 'Therc is a newspaper field for wo-
men which is very little cultivated. It IS
the conducting Of local newspaper. the
weekly home papers Of the country towns
that give the events Of the locality in which
they are printed want to tell you what
struck in my travels when | was playing
tramp printer. 1t was in Massillion. Ohio
There was an office there where n weekly
paper was printed, which was conducted
in all its departments by wolaen. The
proprietors were two sisters. Ihey'were
both typc-setters They had a female ap-
prentice. The elder sister was the editor,
bat the youngest one was good heu
writer They had a patent outside for
the paper All the rest Of The work
these three persons did They even ranthe
press on which they printed an edition OF
900 or 1000 1t was power press. one OF
the drum cylinder kind that turned with
big crank Occasionally they sent out
and hired man to turn this press for
them ON publication day, but often they
worked the press themselves. They were
none too rich and they saved this expense
if possible The peculiar feature Of the
office was its extreme neatness. There was
no n underthe stands that bore the eases.
There was pot or TIVE of flowers in each
window and a canary bird sang in cage
above the typc-ack The old tramps
ranging through the country then used to
90 in and take look at the Office 1t
was different from any thing else they saw
anywhere. They used to shake their
head, and of muttering. They never
asked for work They knew that they
couldn't spit tobacco juice ON the floor Of
such an office. There was ne ,aeli-boN, in
which to dump their .pi and +; disla't seem
hemclikc to them. - they 1ave s: wide

were within the same uonil.- Til. office
was sold to a man. The flowers wiltctl.
The canary died. II is WORTH While to
note though that Two successful political
newspapers in Ohio one III Alliance and one
in Circleville, have been edited by women.

SAM JONES AND THE LAWYERS.

In a Chicago sermon the noted sam
Jones, the evangelist said:
Sometimes I've asked everybody that
never told lie to stand up. Every fellow
was looking around to see if anybody was
goin' to get up. Ifanybady had agot MP,
I'd a-given him the h1or and sat down.
If yon' Il all stop lying you'd staryc the
lawyers to death | like grand lawyer
who defends the good man from the as
saults of the wicked. Bat these mean

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

New YORK, November ga brewery wagon
started from New York entrance at /: 40 D. M, to
go over the bridge to Brooklyn After the wagon
passed the New York pier, the bridge policeman
noticed something resembling bundle of coats in
the end of the wagon. This bundle assumed an
upright position, and turned out to be man. The
man jumped lightly from the vehicle to the road
way. He mounted the iron girder that incoses it,
and without hesitating moment leaped off, and
shot straight down into the river. The officer
ashore was the only one who had seen the man
leap, He rushed into the roadway and ordered che
driver to stop.
The driver was surprised at the order and de-
manded an explanation. On being informed it
was evident from his establishment that he was
ignorant of the matter lie was allowed to pro-
coed The name of the man who made the leap is
VIM Kurz.
An eye witness who was on Dover street pier
sid to a reporter: ST was looking up at the
bridge and saw a man get over the railing next to
the lamp post, outside the New York tower He
clung to the rail for moment then let CO. turned
two somersaults in the air, fell his back IN the
water and disappeared at once The water seemed
to suck him in. and the spray splashed up several
feet in the air
Policeman James ONeil, of the bridge suuad,
arrived few minutes later. He took the tu1 Co
lumhia to pick up kurz. The captain of a lighter
steamer went out and picked up Kurz before the
tug arrived The jumper was under the water
about five minutes and when picked up was froth-
ing at the mouth. He was too exhausted to speak
His face had yellow look, and his ewes CLASSY and
vacant in expression.
At the station he was able to talk, and told the
officer in charge that he wanted TO commit suicide
He complained of pain in the head and side and
began 10 rave. He was taken from the station to
Chambers street hospital, where he was found to
be suffering from shock of the conclusion 1t is
thought he will recover When asked his reason
for the jump, he replied: 81 wish was dead"

| STATE HOUSE ECHOES.
1t is whispered about that Mr.. G. W.
Breeding, for long time on the auditing
board, will be candidate for calender
clerk in the senate.
Thad Brewer, of Henderson, is in the
field for reelection, as sergeant-at-arms
of the senate. Fl
Mr.. Finger, the gentlemany and eff
cient reading clerk of the house, last SEES,
sion, having been defeated for the legisla-
ture, will again seek his old position, and
no doubt he will be successful.
Private Secretary Carpenter, yesterday
received the usual batch of papers, asking
that certain convicts now in the peniten-
tiary be pardoned out.
The following appropriations have been
asked for by the officials who have made
their official reports:
DR.. Wallace, of the North Texas asylum
wants 100000 to add additional build
ings.
DR.. Denton, of the Austin asylum, wants
$4,000 for the same purpose.
DR.. Rainey, of the blind institute, wants
$4,000 to build workshops.
In addition to the above, it is believed
that another effort will be made to pass
the reformatory bill introduced at the last
session of the legislature, and which
asked for 100000, and, should it pass, the
aggregate sum asked for thus far outside
of the regular appropriations is $265,000.
1t was learned at the comptroller's Office
yesterday that the legislature can easily
make the appropriations mentioned with
out at all jmpairing the machinery of
government. This being so the legisa-
ture will probably make them without OPP
position, but then it is hard to tell what a
legislature will do when it comes to APP
propriating money.
djutant-General King is still absent
from the city. He has not completed his
annual report.
There was nothing of public interest in
the Office of the secretary of state yester-
day.
The land board received six applications
to purchase yesterday, making 101 for the
month of November. The board will
make awards next Tuesday.
The attorney generals Office was bare
of interesting items yesterday.
The treasurer will have his monthly
statement ready tomorrow, and it will
show about $540,000 to the credit of
general revenue.
The land Office will pay into the treas
ury about $4,000 to-day, receipts for the
month of November. Receipts from the
Office of secretary of state amount to
$3,OS7.
