A Newspaper IN the Year assO.

Jatee NeFnUs IN tue
Twenty years ago the Earth Chron-
iclGs subscription list contained but q
few hundred thousand names, and then
Mr.. Fritz Napoleon Smith bought II
for q mere trihe, and originated tele-
phonic journalism. Instead Of being
printed, the Earth Chronicle Is every
morning spoken to subscribers, who,
in interesting conversations with re-
porters. statesmen and scientists, learn
the news of the day. Furthermore,
each subscriber owrs q photograph,
and to this instrument he leaves the
task of gathering the news whenever
he happens not TO be in q mood to lis
ten directly himself. As for pur-
chasers of single copies, they can at
very trifling cost learn all that is in
the paper of the day at any of the
innumerable monographs set up
nearly everywhere. Fritz Napoleon
Smiths innovation galvanized the old
newspaper. In the course of a few
years the number of subscribers grew
TO be SIS 900, 900, and Smiths wealth
went on growing, till now it reaches
the almost unimaginable figures of
$40 O0O, 100000. This lucky hit has
enabled him to erect his new building,
a vast edifice with four facades, each
$3.50 feet in width, over which
proudly floats the hundred starred
flag of the Union. Thanks TO the same
lucky hit, he is to-day king of news
paperdom indeed, he would be king
of all the Americans, too, if Americ ans
could ever accept king. You do not
believe it? Well, then, look at the
plenipotentiaries of all nations and our
ministers themselves crowding about
his door, entreating his counsels, beg
ging for his appreciation, imploring
the aid of his all-powerful organ.
Reckon up the number of scientists
and artists that he supports, OF in
ventors that he has under his pay.

A Great Battle

Is continually going on in the human
system. The demon of impure blood
strives to gain victory over the consti-
tuition, to ruin health, to drag victims
to the grave. A good reliable medi-

weapon with which to defend ones
self, drive the desperate enemy from
the field, and restore peace and bodily
health for many years. Try this Pc

FOR DE LAWD'S SAKE"
san Francisco News Letter.

This was the picture in front OF
"Old Daddy Pullback's" cabin in the
"Kaintuck" quarter of Hinchley alley
the other afternoon: Two colored men
sitting on wash bench, silent and
sorrowful; an old dog sleeping in the
sun at their feet, and colored woman
calling TO boy who was on the fence
"Now, George Washington, you git
right down from dat? Doan you
know dat Daddy Pullback am list on
the pint of dyin' and gwine up to
hebben?"
Here was the picture inside: The
poor old white headed man lying on
his dying bed, flesh wasted away and
strength departed. Near him sat his
faithful old wife, rocking to and fro
and moaning and grieving. Further
away was a colored man and woman,
solemn faced and sad hearted, and
shaking their heads as they cast glances
toward the bed. For long time the
old man lay quiet and speeches., but
at length he sighed to be proped up.
A sun as warm as midsummer poured
into the room. He took notice of it,
and a change came to his face as his
eyes rested upon his grieving wife.
"I'ze bin gwine back in my mind ~
he whispered, as he reached out his
thin hand for her to clasp. "For ober
fo'ty Vars we's trabbled long de same
path. We sarved the same master as
slaves way back in old Nirginny in
de dim past. We sang de same songs
we prayed de same prayers-we had
hold of hams when we listed in de
gospel ranks an sot our faces lords de
golden gates of hebben. Ole woman,
Pze gwine to part wild you! Yes, PIE
gwine ter leave yer all alone"
"Oh, daddy! daddy" she walled
as she leaned over him.
"Doan' take on so, chile. It's de
Lawd's doin's, not mine. Tomorrow
de sun may be as bright an warm
but de ole man won't be heah. All de
AFTERNOON I'ze had glimpses of shady

She put her wrinkled face on the
pillow beside his and sobbed, and be
placed his hand on her head and
said:

Many regrets will follow him to the tomb.

GETTING READY FOR WORK
House Committees Of Ways and Means
and Appropriations Organized.

The House committees on ways and means
and on appropriations were organized today.
MIR. Cannon, the chairman Of the latter COM
mittee, has demonstrated that he considers
merit above politics, at least in the matter of
the appointment of clerk to his committee.
He says he believes in turning out democrats
when republicans can be found to fill the
places made vacant, but that there is no one,
he says, who could fill the place of Mr.. Courts,
and, therefore, he has reappointed him today.
MIR. Cleves, the republican clerk Of the Senate
appropriations committee, and Mr.. Co urts, the
democratic clerk of the House committee, he
regards as two men who could not be dispensed
with.
MIR. Courts was assistant clerk to the COM
mlttee under Mr.. Stevens. wo served from 1865
until 1882. Mr.. Stevens then retired and Mr.
Courts was made clerk. He has served ever
since in that capacity and is perfect cyclopae-
dia OF fiscal affairs. Both republicans and
democrats have the utmost confidence in him.

pletely organized and the work distributed
