THE WORLDS FAIR.
President Palmer Thinks Two Sites Best
Choice to He Made.


Choice to He Made.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 25-Ex-Senator Pal
mer, president OF the Worlds fair commission.
accompanied by Secretary Dickinson. is in the
city in the interest of the fair Palmer ex-
pressed great qualification over the settlement
OF the location OF the fair. and said the division
between Jackson park and the lake front was
more nominal than real. 1t would, in his
opinion. add largely to the general
interest and attractiveness of the fair.
because the lake front would be devoted
to features that would naturally draw crowds at
night. while the bulk of the fair proper would
be located at Jackson park. Being asked as to
the truth OF the report that Goshorn had stated
that he would not accept the situation of
director general, Palmer replied that the CON-
mitfee had not authority to offer the posi-
ton to Goshorn, and that he would accept il
II offered. "But," said he, she has not yet
said that he would decline to serve"

The Reporter.

At the recent annual dinner of the
Pittsburg Press Club, George S. Well
shons got off the following in response to
the toast 'The Reporter" "rhere are
three grand divisions in newspaper
work. journalists, reporters, and edi-
tors. Speaking more accurately, there
are three stages of development. A
journalist is calf reporter. He is re-
porter in the miniature tadpole stage,
when his head is so big that 1t takes all
the rest of his person to shove it around.
If he is lucky, by and by he becomes a
reporter. After reporters legs wear
out they make an editor out OF him.
The final stage Of frog. you know-the
extreme removal from the tadpole-is
the bullfrog. too stiff to jump, too old
and tough to eat, who just sits on the
bank and bellows. That is an editor.
In the old days the editor called man
a chicken thief, nowadays the reporter
finds the feathers in his backyard. The
weapon of the old-tlme editor was the
epithet; that of the modern reporter is
the evidence. What the editor used to
assert the reporter now proves"

Atlanta Constitutions Washington Letter.
Gibson, of Maryland, is claimed to be
the handsomest man in the House, but
Kilgore, of Texas, with his gray hair
and beard, ranks first as the most per-
feet type of physical manhood. Col. Kill
gore, although over so years of age, is
yet as active as Texas cowboy. He
often rides horseback on pleasant aft
ernoons, and invariably selects the most
vicious and treacherous animal he can
find. 1t matters not whether the horse
DE bucker or a pitcher, Col. Kilgore
cannot be removed from a digni6ed
poise Indeed, he sits in saddle like
he had been there every day Of his
life.
On recent ride some distance in the
country he was bantered by colleague
that he could not pick stone from the
ground while his horse was in sweep
ing gallop, as do the cowboys in the
various Wild West shows. Kilgore
could not stand such a challenge, and,
with his horse in a full run. leaned
down and gathered up stone after stone,
which he took occasion to chuck back
at his companion.

Foreigners have formed an impression
that American children are precocious.
Perhaps that is so. At all events, there
is no better instance of early develop
ment that could be cited than in the
case of Dave Morris, IL years cid and
youngest son OF John A. Morris, the pro-
lector of the New York Jockey Club.
Master Dave is an expert with the vio-
lin, and was at one time devoted to am
ateur photography, but when met him
the other morning, on his way to his law
yer's office, he assumed ali the dignity
of man of affairs. It was not long ago
that he asked his father for check Tor
100000, and, on explaining that he
wished to study investments he re-
ceived it.
Now he diligently scans the money
articles of the great dailies, consults at
the breakfast table with his father about

instructed to keep him informed of gilt

ence will teach his son the value of
money better than a long apprentice

In Germany railway fagman at the
crossing at small station thought he
had the grip when all the other en-
ployes of the road were getting leave of
absence for the same cause, and applied
to the company's doctor to be ex-
amined. The doctor could not spare
the time to stop at such q small place, so
he telegraphed to the fagman to be
standing beside the track when the train
went past. with his tongue out, and he
would examine him on the fly. The
flagman dutifully stood with his tongue
out ali the time the train was slowly
passing his station, and the next day the
company received from passengers a
dozen complaints Of the impertinent
conduct of one of its employees at that

1t is question whether there are a
hundred persons to-day who know that
the author of 'The Sweet-by e-and- bye"
is living in an obscure Illinois town, and
not amid the greatest luxury either.
Tens of thousands, perhaps millions, of
people know the hymn; how many ever
think of DR.. S. Fillmore Bennett, it's
aged author? The hymn has brought
him almost no revenue, and even less
fame. Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks is
another instance, living in small in
terror New York town, compelled to re-
sort to her pen for a living; yet who has
not sung her world-famous hymn, II

Mrs. Greeley's Patience.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
There are an endless number of sto-
ries Ringing upon the peculiarities Of the
late Horace Greeley, most of them hav-
ing to do with his penmanship. But we
know next to nothing of his home life
and what Mrs. Greeley did with the
great journalist. While living at Chap.
paqua. he formed the habit of taking
guests home with him unexpectedly,
and, as may naturally be supposed,
much to the annoyance of his wife.
Thackerav told with glee how he walked
into the parlor after the placid Hor-
ace, and how the Journalist tried to as
sure pleasant welcome by greeting his
better half with an ELUSIVE smile.
He had no sooner dropped his hat on
the center table than she picked it up
and threw it out Of the window, thus
mildly expressing her disgust. Having
eased her mind she saluted the dis
tinguished guest with becoming gravity
and all was well.
