ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
WASHINGTON, October PA story is
told to-day and vouched for as true which
present administration in general and Presi-
dent Harrison in particular in a peculiarly
striking way. The visiting iron and steel
men from Great Britain are expected to pay
this city visit tomorrow, and preparations
have been made to give them fitting recep-
ton.
A local committee is in charge of the mat
ter, and upon the programme for the visit
ors' entertainment a reception Of tine distin-
guished foreigners by the President is not
unim portant feature. Of course, it was
necessary first to obtain Mr.. HarrisOn's coll
sent to this part of the programme aud &C.
cordingly the committee called on him at
the White House. After they had stated
the object OF their visit the President agreed
to 6 wing the Britons' representatives re-
ception.
81 suppose" said he to the committee,
"you will not want caro- reception"
Somewhat taken aback by the question,
one OF the committee replied that it had
been thought that, considering the social
and business standing of the iron and steel
men, card reception would be about the
correct thing to offer them. At this the
President hummed and hawed a little, and
then said: 'Well, if you want card recep-
ton, you will, of course, provide the cards
of invitation at your own expense. -
Nv hat answer the committee gave to this is
not stated, but it is fact that they have ac-
cepted the Presidents suggestion, and have
prepared at their own expense an engraved
invitation to The reception at the White
House, which the President was too thrifty
to provide himself

tlemen residing in this city returned to- day

MISTAKES.

Whatever may be the general be-
lief concerning mistakes made in news
paper offices, it is fact that, for every
error made, a dozen, made by outsiders,
are corrected, and if the matter of
spelling was included in the estimate
the proportion would be nearer 100 to
one than IL to one. A great many
people who send paragraphs for publi-
cation seem to believe that the worse
the manuscript looks the more it con-
forms to that to which the printers are
accustomed. This may have been true
years ago, but to-day the professional
newspaper writer's furnish, in large
majority of cases, neat and legible
@copy," and the average is much better
than that sent in from outside. The
pains taken to correct evident or pos
sible mistakes would cause surprise to
anybody not acquainted with the
workings Of a printing office. Ere
quently there is date which must be
incorrect, inasmuch as the day of the
week and the day of the month do not
conform.
