The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-09-19

Forty years ago the chief duty of an editor, in
view Of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print 1t. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences of interest
were never heard of beyond their immediate
locality mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow Of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death of petty
ward politician In San Francisco, the result of a
Presidential election, the accession of sovereign
the outbreak of war, and notice that shanty had
been burden Texas all were hurried over the wires
into the newspaper offices, and there being ,xs bt
nodea of discrimination, all were printed ,NNNils

considerably more than the calculations Of all other
Chicago dailies combined. It is hardly necessary
to say that such circulation could not be attained
much less maintained, except by paper of high
grade of excellence, as well as one sold at popu-
lar price. To win such recognition the cheap
paper must be as good a newspaper as the best of
of its higher-priced competitors. And this THE
DAILY News certainly is. It is member of the
Associated Press, and is the only paper in Chicago
which possesses a franchise which secures to it
both the day and night dispatches of the Associa-
ton In the general field of news-gathering it re-
presents in the progressive enter
prise of American journalism: as a newspaper
sII,it challenges comparison with any Tin the land.
IILgsEk, In its editorial columns The DAILY News
tHl1I1Iz%, speaks from the standpoint of the indie
pendent newspaper, and thereby escapes
temptation of impairing honest and
n T}l=honorable influence by condoning or
s1ds,kS defending the questionable under the
pressure of party allegiance. 1t is not
organ, neither is it a neutral IN
of principle. 1t has the cour-
shEtNNage of its convictions. The organ Of
no party, sect or interest it voices the united de-
mand of all those better elements of society in
behalf of purity, honesty and decency in all the
relations of life. BY just so much as it thus COM
mends itself to the regard of the truly best peo
pie " of the community does it voluntarily re-
nounce any community of interest with all others.
So conspicuous a success must have its imi-
tators, and The DAILY News has the endorsement
such imitation always bestows. However it's the
only one-cent paper in Chicago or the West which
is amember Of the Associated Press-all other Chi
cago Associated Press papers cost 8 cents-all
imitation must continue so far as 1esUS gIs7ng 9dlne

A Desperate Boy.

Ulysses Nelson, fifteen year old COL
ored boy, gave remarkable exhibition
of dare devil pluck at Hastings, Neb.,
the other day. Nelson reached Hastings
inter midnight, preceded by q telegram
from Holdridge where he had stolen q
watch AS he stepped from the train
policemen Balcombe and Clark stopped
him and told him he was their prisoner
The boy whipped out revolver and
fired. Balcombe fell MORALLY wounded,
and the lad disappeared in the darkness.
Clark notified the Sheriff and Chief of
Police, and six men went to the depot
yards to hunt for Nelson. They found
him III a patch OF weeds and told him to
surrender. He made no answer, and
Clark and another man walked into the
weeds. As they did so Nelson jumped
up and fired, sending ball close to
Clark's head, who ran. The boy fired
again, and this time the ball took off
one Of Clark's fingers, and was stopped
by his watch. Then the officers blazed
away at the woods until their ammuni-
ton was gone, when Nelson sprang from
his hiding place with revolver in each
hand, backed to where the officers had
tied their horses, mounted one, and rode
off. After getting ammunition and re-
endorsements the officers followed the
boy, overlook him, and firedat him u n
til they killed his horse and he had no
ammunition left. Then he surrendered.
He had fatal shot in the back of his
neck, received in the weeds.

How She Became a Baroness

Only two or three years ago she was
Mrs. Reigel, wife of q young Philadel-
phia merchant. He obtained divorce
from her. She was very handsome, and
she could sing little, so she applied to
Col. McCaull, the opera manager, for
employment on the stage. He told her
that he could do no more than place her
in the chorus at $40 week. She said
that she would not accept his offer, be-
cause she must earn living somehow.
But she Immediately gota chance to try
to be star. The attempt resulted in an
artistic failure, but it was success in
recommending her to the love of Baron
Blanc, a wealthy and handsome New
Yorker. They were married. Hisgiven
name has led to the erroneous impress
sion that he is baron, and the pair are
known wherever they go as the Baron
and Baroness Blanc. That isn't any
wonder, considering the gorgeousness Of
their luxury. They have divided this
summer between Long Branch and Sara
toga.
Mrs. Blanc is a beauty. If she should
suffer reverse Of fortune she surely
could get employment in some great
dress making establishment as model,
for she can wear finery to as great an adj
vantage as any woman 1 ever saw. 1
suspect that she knows it, for between 7
O'Clock this morning and 3 o'clock this
evening she has appeared in our hotel in
six separate and distinct costumes. Be-
ginning with an early horseback ride
and going through the days episodes of
breakfast, morning ride in victoria,
midday luncheon, trip to the races in
the afternoon, late dinner an$an even
ing in the dancing parlor, she has made
the six complete changes of attire. Pro-
sumably the two maids whom she EN-
ploys did as much as they could of the
work of dressing and undressing her,
and yet it has been long and arduous
days job for her to display herself in
such succession of toilets.

She Sells $s2 Worth or Magic to
- Farmer Who is Cheated

RTeHMoND, Va.-During ten days
past q band Of gypsies has been camped
in the woods near here. They left a
few days ago. This morning well-to-
do and intelligent-looking farmer called
ct detectives Office and told this story:
II live about seven miles south OF
Manchester. My wife has been in bad
health for some time. On last Friday
she came to Manchester. About mile
beyond Manchester there was gypsy
camp. My wife had talk with one Of
the gypsies. who informed her that they
would restore her to perfect health, and
requested her to come next day and
bring me with her. On Saturday my
wife and l visited their camp. was in
feeble health myself. / was informed
by one of these gypsies. that if I would
put 50 into her hand for good luck, she
could, for the additional sum of $40, re-
store us both to health.
II had with me at the time $82. !
accepted the proposition. / put 50 in
her hand. She then said must put one
$40 note on my hand and blow my
breath at it, and then place it on her
hand. 1 did SO.
NoW, pniu BIC, bhAo tllo lAcAt RlO
note from the roll, place it on your
hand, and blow your breath on it, and
place it in my hand;' and thus contin-
ued doing until I had placed the $50,
all I had, on her hand. Now said
she, you take your hands and fold the
bills up. I don't want to touch them.
If do it will destroy the magic power
Having folded them as directed, she
took the money and placed it in her bos-
ON and said: Now, you and your wife
come here on next Saturday and you
will be each restored to perfect health,
and will then return you this money,
except the So which you placed in my
hand for good luck, and the $40 which
charge you for the cure. I shall have
to keep all the money, otherwise the
magic power will leave me-"
The farmer then said that when he re-
turned to see the gypsy the gypsies had
disappeared, and he wanted to know
how to get his money.
