Tho co.tumss of corea.

But the colors are what give the streets
OF Seoul such a quaint holiday appearance.
White or blue predominates, and the
long, flowing gowns, well starched and
ironed, glisten In the sun and blend their
colors together, making a dazzling pict-
ure together with the red Of the children's
dresses and the occasional bright silk
gown Of an official or well to do merchant.
The people mostly dress In imported
white cotton, victoria lawns and silks.
These are thickly padded with cotton for
winter wear, and then present a very
alloo like appearance. Originally they
colored the cloth as a rule, but now white
Is the prevailing color for the common
people, a custom which is accounted for
by the following tradition: White is tho
mourning color and three years the period
of mourning. Once, during a period of
ten years, three kings died, necessitating
a change of raiment by the whole people
a time. 1t of course was burdensome,
as a Corean wardrobe is rather extensive
and quite costly. In order, then, to avoid
the difficulty in the future, they decided
to dress altogether In white and be ready
for the caprice of their kings. OF course,
the wealthy are not obliged to follow thia
custom, but may dress IS they please

THE fate OF the pending Union Pacific
bill has in it deep significance to many
sections of the West. 1t is not so much
a private measure, as Senator Plumb has
asserted, as it is a public measure, which
intimately concerns a wide and growing
section of this country. So long as the
matter is held in allegiance progress is to
a great extent pAralyzed, and contemplated
improvements are not to be thought of.
There is apparently a settled purpose
among some Of the senators to force the
matter to an issue, and Notwithstanding
Ono postponement its consideration has
been again fixed for next Wednesday. We
may therefore hope for some definite ac-
rion early in the session.

Getting Out a Baseball Extra.

Newspaper men and printers may be In
terested in knowing how baseball extras
are issued so quickly. The first five innings
are described in detail by the reporters,
who send their copy to the office by mes
senger, or telegraph 1t If the game is in
another city. The result Of the remain
ing -four innings they telephone or tele-
graph, the latter being done by instan-
tRneous ticker. While the last four
innings are being played the printers
set the type, the form is stereotyped
and put on the press. and then
everybody waits for the result OF
the last inning. Tho foreman Of the
press room stands with q mallet in his
hand, and before him lie ten pieces of
steel. On the end Of zach of these you
see a figure. A man shouts down stairs,
Chicago r. Grabbing up a die with
one blow the foreman stamps the figure
81" upon a blank In the s~tereotyped page.
Then comes the shout, New York OF"
Another blow stamps that. Two or three
more blows stamp the totals made by
eaeh club, the press Is instantly started,
papers roll out at the rats OF 40, 900 an
hour. the couriers put spurs into their
horses, boys run all over the city crying
Extra, all about the ball camel" and q
dozen wagons take on loads OF papers and
are driven at breakneck speed for certain
NOihchoB UhoIo n oSoAo VI chBOA
newsboys are waiting for each Of them.
About Do, 900 Of these sporting extras are
sold in Chicago every evening.
Sometimes the extras appear with big
head lines, The Chicagos Win" or New
York Victorious" etc. This is lone by
making two stereotype plates. In one the
head line is for q Chicago victory, In the
other for defeat. II the Chicagos chance
to win 1t is on the first plate that the
pressman stamps the result Of the last
inning and the totals.
While one of the three sporting editors
employed on a morning paper Is reporting
the ball game another is at the races,
while the third is taking care of other
sporting events. Sporting editors are al
ways on the lookout for midnight prize
fights. and as these affairs are usually
held secretly and In out-of-the-way places,
they give reporters no end of anxiety.
Sometimes n straight tip" as to where q
fight is to be held turns out to be a wrong
tip. remember one occasion on which O
reporter of Tho Herald was told, conf
dentially, where an interesting fight was to
como of. Five or six other sports told
him, co~nfidentially, that the fight was to
take place in as many different spots,
many miles apart. The young man was
nervous about 1t, but he didn't lose his
head. he had q reporter sent to each Of
the half dozen places. and was lucky
enough to be at the right one himself
