JOURNALISM IN VIENNA.
Manner of Conducting the Austrian Daily
Paper-Journalistic Courtesy,


Journalism in VIENNA is a quite different
affair from journalism in either Berlin, Paris,
London or New York Not only is tho num-
Der of newspapers published in tho Austrian
capital much smaller, there being only eleven
dailies, but the manner of conducting them
is also different from that followed in the
other European centers With the exception
of these the Viennesc newspapers appear
twice day-in the morning in time to catch
the mails, ard at 2 in the afternoon after
the closing of the Bourse. Only one appears
three times day, adding to the issues already
named supplement distributed about 4 in
the evening.
The comparatively small number of news.

to the diversity of languages spoken through.
out the empire, and which necessarily limits
the circulation of metropolitan journals to
those provinces i'll which German is spoken.
1t is also to be noted that no papers are al
lowed to be sold in the public streets, there
being no stands, and the police regulations

his trade. When, therefore, the worthy citi.
zen OF Vienna wishes to purchase paper he
is compelled to wend his way to n tobacco

The Viennese newspapers, with the excep-
ton of Tho Vaterland the organ of the Cleri-
cal party, never indulge in heated discus
sions. Thoughtful articles, carefully studied
and generally moderate in tone, foreign in
telligence, local news, interviews, feuillctons
chroniques, very complete financial articles
and many dispatches, very long and going
largely into detail-such are the usual con-
tents of Vienna journal AS have said,
there are very few arguments between jour

Old Cookery and Modern.

"Old fashioned molasses candy" advertised
in many candy shops. Fraudulent Old
fashioned molasses candy means plain mo-

not pulled to brittleness. 1t bends The
modern stuff breaks Too much mixing and
meddlins with the modern made article. Let
molasses candy alone and it will flavor itself.

too many ingredients. Puts sugar in corn

Tubes to Cross the Channel.

Once more suggestions are in the air for a
postal tube between Dover and Calais, and
this time in a more detailed form. The idea
is to suspend two tubes of about yard each
in diameter by means of steel cables across
the Channel, forty yards above the level Of
the sea. The steel cables will be fixed to
pillars at distances of about 500 yards, and
In each tube a little railway will run, with

pressed tho belief that corsets were soul de-

The attention of two continents has been
recently centered on B. P. Hutchinson-"Old
Hutch'-of Chicago, the man who has, single
handed and unaided, conducted the great
wheat corner. The commercial world is fa-
miliar with "Old Hutch" as spcculator and
merchant. New England claims him as her
offspring, taking cognizance of him at the
time when he began his career in North
Reading, Mass, forty-six years ago, when he
was in the employ of Edwin Foster, a coun-
try merchant, at $50 year. When not
otherwise employed it was young Hutchin-
sons duty to mend children's shoes in the
rear of the store. As Ben did not receive
sufficient salary to satisfy him he obtained
permission to open boot and shoe shop i'll
his employers She'd. Here he first evinced
his talent for trading, always managing to
get ahead Of the boys who started even with
him In 1850 he found that there was money
in the commission business and took hand
in it on Pearl street in Boston. He remained
there two years and removed to Milwaukee,
and from there he came to Chicago With
his commercial history from that time to tho
present every Chicagoan is familiar With
his personal characteristics, his pecularities
and his oddities his own city is not entirely
familiar, as the subjoincd stories will show:

of B. p. Hutchinson which people do not un

shall not undertake to quote all the lam
guage of the gentleman who talked to mo
about Mr.. Hutchinson. From the conversa-
tlon make the following estimates:
Mr.. Hutchinson's foundation characters.
tics are untiring activity, scrupulous fidelity
to men whom lie trusts, fortitude and sleep
less determination. He is intuitive Some
months ago. when he was confined to his
home by an accident, he made study of tho
agricultural condition of the two continents.
Most men in the sick room employ their
time trying to mako others about them mis-
cradle. Mr.. Hutchinson proflted by his mis-
fortune. That Is characteristic of him. The
day came for him to get out of the house.
aecame to tho Corn Exchange bank, and on
meeting his sou "Charlic," said to him:
"Tho world is short of wheat" He Is al
ways sententious, SO that this created no
marked impression.
He went over to the Century club, sat
down and sent one thumb whirling over the
other, as he often does when he is thinking,
and said: "The world is short of whcatn
Tho remark did not create any comment
there. He went over on the board and met
the brcathless confusion of that place In u
fathcrly tone, he said: boys, the world is
short of wheat"
Tho surging sea of speculation kept surg
ing. The old mans voice had no effect upon
the storm. Let me quote the informant:
The Dickinson press. (Dickinson, Stark County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1927, 1888-12-15
UNDERSTOOD THE s1TuArIo


'He had studied the situation. He knew he
was right. He had sounded tho alarm
Strange to say, there were men who knew
him as well as who heard him say this, and
they knew he was no alarmist OF croaker,
and yet they paid no attention to him. 1t is
my opinion that the old man felt piqncd at
this apparent disregard of his forecast He
is one of the most sensitive men ever knew.
That is something which most men will
laugh at. But it is fact l have known
him to be stung by some light allusion in the
press to his personal appearance. habits or
characteristics Some of the pictures that
have been made Of him and printed as carl
catures have caused him pain. He was SEN
sitive, think, that his remark on the condi-
tion of the worlds wheat crop did not cause
any activity He moped about it for two or
three days and then repeated tho remark
with amplifcation. He said, virtually: The
crop is short; you had better buy now; am
going to run it up"
Strange characteristic Of the human E!ind!
1t loves to take chances. All men arc gam
blers. They prefer to take circuitous routes
Mr.. Hutchinson showed these men where
they could make fortunes, and they doubted
him because he was frank.
The informant continues: "When the old
gentleman saw that they didn't heed him,
having given them every opportunity, he
went on the stage, r,lng up the curtain and
said, Let the play begin
The old gentleman is human like other
men. He was hurt to think he was doubted
He didn't know why he should be, and when
the rains came and the winds blew and there
was devil of time he folded his arms and
looked on from secure observatory. That
is all there is to this wheat corner 1t is the
alpha and omega Of the whole business. If
you care to look Tito it you will find plenty
OF filling, plenty Of side shows and branches
and all that sort Of thing. But you have the
start of it and the end, SO far as he is con-
cerned."-Chicago Times.
