Messengers arc sent out to hurry the
statesmen, but the great men are often
found ut dinner or ut poker, and they re-
fuse to be disturbed. Some of these ctates
men have queer notions about orthogra
ply. One changed the word traffic" as

Getting The Record to press is in some re-

Blank addressed the house. His remarks

At O'Clock in the evening, which is
generally about an hour after the adjourn
ment OF congress- the real work of getting
out The Record" begins in the great print
ing Office. In The Record room, which is
department distinct from the remainder
of the Office, a hundred men have their
coats off. Foreman Pearson, one of the
best printers in the world, and his assist
ant are cutting up great wads of copy AS
the clock strikes Z eighty-two compositors
step forward one after another and get
their takes" Soon eighty-two nimble
fingers are picking up the bright BREWER
types and rafting them into eighty-two
sticks 1t costs money to set the type for
The Record. The eighty-two men earn
from $50 to SOS week each. They are paid
fifty cents per thousand ems, and are en-
night. In cash ~ Better The Record there
are, in BREWER, CO. and is, and the average
throughout, extraciSvand roll calls being
set in nonpareil, about 5000 ems. This
ton alone 81, and during the session just
ended The Record reached the unprece-
dented number of nm pages. The first
session of the Fiftieth congress, the longest
session on record-33l days-filled 10,6SS
pages of The Record. This session was
twenty days shorter, but filled thousand
pages more of the daily journal.
Setting the type is only one part of the
expense. Five flrst-class readers, each with
a boy copy holder" first 90 over the
proofs for typographical errors. After this
is done the proofs are passed over to five
second readers, who read silently, on the
alert for mistakes of any sort, particularly
those of grammar, punctuation or style,
which may have escaped the first readers.
Typographical errors are very rare indeed
in The Record. In addition to these ten
proofreaders and their boy copy holders
there are two revisers, whose duty it is to
see that all mistakes marked in the proofs
are properly corrected. Reading proof On
The Record costs Uncle Sam about $3.50 a
week.
Publishing The Record would be pref
ty and satisfactory task If it were not for
the vanity and timidity of congressman.
There is an old story (Which Foreman
Pearson says is true several times over) of
the new member of congress who had
made his maiden speech, and who not
only wanted to read the proofs but went
down to the printing office and watched
his speech go to press, and with great pride
picked up the damp sheets to read his own
eloquent words in print,
The statesmen not only revise the copy
furnished them by the stenographers-''re-
vision" often meaning an entirely new
speech-but they want proofs sent them
from the printing Office How they do
struggle with these proofsl How timid
they arel They change word or SEN
tence again and again, evidently with fear
of their constituents before their eyes.
Late at night they send the proofs back to
the Office, and the sheets which went out

Got the Diploma.

Got the Diploma.
Mr.. j. B. Billeisen of this city yes
terday received from the managers of
the San Antonio fair a diploma
awarded for the best restaurant.
AS caterer Mr.. Billeisen has
state reputation and few banquets
are given in this city that he doesn't
manage. He gave one in San An
tonic just before he left for home and
The Express contained the following
notice of it,:
"Twenty-eight covers we're laid and
an equal number of bottles OF cham
payne were set up by j. B. Billeisen,
the fair grounds caterer, in honor of
the managers of the great fair and the
leading Mexican visitors. At 1880
o'clock last night MIR. Billeisen an
nounced ready and the table was soon
surrounded by some very hungry
guests. The menu was excellent and
everyone was pleased.
Those present were; Mayor Gala
CHAN, DIR. P. Ornelas, Rios Toledano,
Vicente Guerrero, A. G. Schryver,
Judge King, J. J. Nunnelly of Nash
vile, Tenn, Herman Kampmann, w.
j. Ballard, Lieutenant ]. R. Claggett,
Lieutenant George X. Hunter of the
Third United States cavalry, Col S. B.

George F. Chase, w. S. Messmer of
the Light, James L. Trueheart, Pedro
Cordova, the artist, Antonio Velez
Muloga, Manuel Eopinoza, Louis ].
Workman, secretary and manager of
the Fair, and an Express repre-
sentative.
There was no making of speeches or
building of toasts. Between the
courses the guests entertained them
selves with conversation on Fair
topics. Mayor Callaghan amused
himself by attempting to teach Mr..
Schryver the Spanish language, but the
latter gentleman persistently refused
to be enlightened that way, as he con-
sidered that one language we'll learned
was good enough for him. Louis
Workman spent his time between his
plate and the glasses of the guests.
Finally, after several bottles of cham
payne had been safely slowed away,
he suggested that some recognition
should be made to their generous host,
and called on Mr.. Kampmann to do
1.-THE proper thing. The latter gentle
man, thereupon, arose and proposed
a toast to their host, J.B. sBilleisen.
Mr. Billeisen responded with feel
lings OF qualification;
II trust" said he, "that this win
not be the last of the international
fairs Of San Antonio, but will prove
tie f'-erunner of greater and grander
fairs in the future"
After this few more bottles were
opened and properly disposed OF, and
the guests dispersed.
Mr.. Billeisen was the only repre-
sentative Austin had at the fair and
he represented her well.

The reporter asked several questions
and among them the following:
Reporter-"Colonel, have you per-
fected the organization of the new
paper?"
Col. sledge-"Yes sir, we have it
about organized and intend to make
it one of the best newspapers in
Texas"
Reporter-"Can You give me the
names of the officers, Colonel2"
Col. Sledge-"Not now, but we have
elected all but the editor. We want

to have one and he will be appointed
at our Dallas meeting, when his name

be with us and will travel north in
