WASHINGTON, March 27.-Murat Hal
stead, nominated for United States minis
ter to Germany, was born in 1929, at Ross,
Butler county, Ohio, and spent his minor
ity on farm. AT Is he began writing for
newspapers, at first contributing senti-
mental fiction and the lighter class of
romances, in which love played the most
prominent part. In 1851 he finished his
schooling at Farmers college near Cincin-
matt and then decided to study law, of
which he soon tired. He did local news
paper reporting on several Cincinnati
papers and in 1853 became manager of Il
department on the Cincinnati Commercial.
The following year he acquired small
interest in the paper and it began rapidly
to increase in circulation and influence, so
that in 1856 il was considered one of the
most potent newspapers in the west. He re-
organized the system of collecting news and
by encouraging young writers in small
towns he built up fine and efficient news
service. In 1870 the paper experienced a
check and for some time Mr. Halstead' S
lines did not always lie in pleasant places.
He pushed his paper forward again to its
old place as n leader of western thought
and ideas and the Commercial combining
with the Gazette, its rival As an exponent
of the principles of the Republican party
in Ohio, the Cincinnati Commentaries
Zette Immediately became the recognized
organ of Ohio Republicans. Mr. Halstead
then found time TO devote himself more to
social affairs and also to travel abroad. He

that most of the pruning Of fruit trees
