EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
AID OTHERS.
Tho members Of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association had their annual dinner last
evening in the Hotel Brunswick and although
more used TO hearing and reading witty stories
than many other people, found enough in the
speech Of Chauncey VI. Depew and those of some
members Of their fraternity 10 make them
almost split their sides with laughing Th"
large dining-room was comfortably hlcd with
representatives Of newspapers from many cities
OF the United States prominent among whom
in the place Of honor at the right side OF thc
chairman was Charles A. Dana referred to more
than once in the evening by different speakers
as the Ncstor of American journalism Ihcrc
were no pre-arrangcd toasts, nor were the speak
crs selected in advance, the chairman calling upon
them haphazard The flow of soul" on this
account was none the less enjoyable, and many
of those who spoke and who would blush to be
called orators earned that title IN a considerable
degree by the new stories and interesting lacts
which they told about their association, Of which
there is less known, as Mr.. Dcpew said, than OF
any other organization Of business men in the
country
