TO ABRAHAHAM LINCOLN,
FROM HIS
LOVING WIFE.


bureau. From one to four men are employed
by each newspaper to gather such matter
as they may require for publication. A
dozen of these papers have special wires
running from their their New York Offices
to the editorial rooms in the home office.
At present these correspondents are scattered
around in various big buildings in Printing
House Square and their work is attended
with much delay and annoyance. But
George Jones, the proprietor of the New York
Times, intends to obviate all this. w orkmen
are now employed in turning the Times
building into magnificent ten story struc-
ture. So quietly has the work been done
that only few persons are aware of the
fact that the building has progressed up to
the street. Splendid press rooms have been
constructed and in six months the Times
will own the most complete newspaper
office in the world. The most decided novelty
will be the arrangement of the upper por-
ton of the building for the use of cores
pondentS. Suits of rooms have been
arranged especially for newspaper writers.
The offices will be modelled to facilitate the
work of correspondents. Three rooms will
compose suite One will be the room for
writers. 1t will also contain files of news
papers and a well-stocl1ed library. a second
room will be used for special wires, tele-
phones and telegraph operators. The third
room will be used as bedroom for the cor
respondent, so that the man who remains
on duty late for his paper may rest in COM
fort. There will be at least sixty suits of
rooms. All that modern ingenuity and
electricity can suggest to add to their effect
iveness will be utilized. The entire build
ing will be lighted by electricity. Each
newspaper will have its own special wires,
telephone and pneumatic tubes. 1t
promises to be one of the sights of this big
city.
The most novel fair ever held in the
world will be opened next fall by the New
York Press Club to raise funds to enable it
to erect a commodious club house. The
novelty of the fair will be i'll the lntroduc-
ton of a complete newspaper Office. A
large share of the space will be given up to
this. In one portion of this space visitors
| may see type being made. A complete
press-room, with foot presses running, will
also be seen. Stereotypers will make plates
to print the papers from. The editorial
| rooms will be complete and gorgeous. An
| editor-in chef, editorial writer S, managing
editor, city editor, reporters and special
writers will be employed, just the same as
on a big daily. Special wires will
carry into the fair the news Of
the world. An elaborate compoS
| ing-room, with capable printers, will be en-
ployed to set up the news. Agents will be
out soliciting advertisements, and the mail
and business offices will be as complete as
any office in the country. In fact, the
place is to show visitors how a newspaper
is made, from the casting of the type to the
moment the newsboys get the damp papers
| from the fast presses 1t is calculated to
| make 500, 900 out of the venture
| There was a crowd of noisy, pushing
boys, men, women and girls on the plat
! form of the Third avenue elevated railroad
stations one night this week. 1t was few

| turned out their white slaves. There was
scramble for an Incoming train. Men
showed and pushed, boys yelled and jostled,
and girls were ruthlessly pinioned in the
| crowd 1t was an ordinary night scene. As
usual the strongest pushed the weakest
| aside. In the crowd was a stout built man
with clean shaver face
| Don't push, shouted the guard.
EASY, friends" said the clean shaven
man. II beg of you be easy"
| BY this time the train had stopped. The
gates flew open and a narrow passage was
| cleared for those on the train TO leave it.
! Before the last person, young and pale
| faced woman with year old child in her
thin arms, had stepped off, rush was made
by those on the platform for the car.
'"Take pour time there" yelled the guard,
and he slung his burly body against the
| throng to prevent them squeezing the
woman's child. But no attention was paid
to his words. On came the rushing, roar
ing army of men, boys, women and girls,
and down went mother and child i'll the
crush like soldiers before Napoleon's old
| guard. There was a momentary panic. A
| stifed "Oh, save my babyi My God, don't
kill me-" from the fallen woman. and then
the clean shaven man swinging his big
arms over his head, yelled, Stand back all
of you!" in tone Of command and pushed
his way through the crowd. He reached
the woman just as strapplng big i'll nat
ured brute of a working man tried TO step
over the PROSTATE form into the car
Back, SIR yelled the clean shaven man.
eco to --n returned the burly brute
| Then a big fist shot out in the air. IL
was aimed by tho man with the clean
shaven face. 1t landed squarely on the
brute's jaw with a whack that made the
platform tremble. Another and another
whack followed il, and six-feet Of so-called
manhood lay sprawling on the platform.
| There was plenty Of room then. The crowd
had fallen back. The clean shayen man
STONED down and tenderly picked up the
| trembling child. The guard helped tho
mother 10 rise, and slowly and with the
utmost caution passage way was opened
