How One Enterprising Reporter Got Ahead
of His Rivals.
There is absolutely no price to be
placed upon an exclusive piece of
news. Fhe ambitious editor will get
it as cheap as he can, OF course. buthe
is going to have it, cost what it will.
News was received in New York once
that an emigrant ship long overdue,
and for which fears OF loss had been
strongly felt. had at last been seen
and would reach Philadelphia on q
certain date. One of the staff OF one
Of the largest dailies formed scheme
and carried it out, getting a full-blown
scoop" on all the other papers. He
jumped on train for the Quaker City,
having first sent his paper notice OF
his plan, and asked the proprietor to
have special engine and some
coaches at Frankford, suburban port
near Philadelphia. Arriving at that
place himself, he chartered tug and
steamed down the river, intending to
catch the emigrant vessel outside. He
met the ship just coming up to the
city in charge of another tug. A halt
was made and bargain struck SO that
the reporter bought out the tow and
his own tug took the vessel. He also
fixed it with the captain to go with
him to Frankford instead of to the
city Hero the whole crowd was
loaded into the train and run to New
York, taken quietly to thelnewspaper
Office and there held and guarded until
the paper went to press containing a
full page scoop" All day long and
through the night the wharf at Phila-
delphia was thronged with waiting
and anxious reporters who did not
know what they had lost until they
saw in print what the other fellow
had found@ 1t took a nice pot of
money to carry out the scheme, but

paid, and the owners of the paper
were satisfied, while. xthe editors. and
particularly the reporter who had
successfully carried IT through. were
