There have been, as might have been ex-
pected. as many rumors giving the names
of Colonel Cockerill's hackers or partners
as there daysin the week. Each man re-
peating some new story has been positive
that he and he alone had the truth to tell.
In multitude of informants there is per
picking confusion, and therefore went to
Corporal John himself to get his version.
As l expected, it differed greatly from all
others. He told me that on the strength
of his health, his knowledge Of the news
paper business and his reputation for hon.
esty, he had borrowed sose,0eo. He had
purchased the papers believing be could
run them; he had no friends to reward and
no enemies to punish; he meant to get his
share, if he could, of what he thought a
good field, and he meant to run the two in
Journalistic style. No one, he said, had any
control over the papers but himself, and if
he succeeded no one else would own any
share in them. In the names of his friends
who had accepted securities not negotiable
at the banks, he thought the public could
have little interest. Finally, he was not
bound by any clique or special interest.
A short tale is soon told, and this is all
of Colonel Cockerll's story. But it is
worth pointing out that nothing but his
wonderful success with The World could
have given him the standing necessary be-
fore he borrowed any such sum Of money.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-06-29

Cockerilps word for the fact that be tried
to get Mr.. Turner to go with him Mr..
Turner, however, wanted a paper he could
control, and this he has found.
When Messrs. Duke aud Knapp started
The Recorder they put a paper on the
streets which was in every way good. But
things have not gono exactly well in The
Recorder Office, and the result is that,
backed by three gentIemen-one in Chi
cago, one in Philadelphia and one in Bos-
ton-and with the addition of money of his
own, Mr.. Turner has bought controlling
interest in The Recorder. Its politics in
the past have been almost colorless, but it
has been announced within the last few
days that in future the paper viii be
strictly Republican.
That The Recorder has a much better
chance of surviving the fierce struggle for
existence among the newspapers Of New
York now than it had before may be taken
as true. Mr.. Turner as a business mana
ger has but few equals in this country, and
he knows the field thoroughly. But he
has also had experience As reporter, for
eign correspondent and editor, so that he
is armed and equipped for his new work.
1t is an open secret that the gentleman
in Boston who has joined forces with Mr.
Turner in this venture is Colonel Charles
n. Taylor, of The Globe. Colonel Taylor
is another one of the great newspaper man
ayers of the country, and it was in his
office that Mr.. Turner learned his business.
Colonel Taylor built The Globe up from
a failure to great success, and he has ap-

BASEBALL SREViTIES.

In the death OF James e. Fogarty the
baseball world loses a notable figure. Fo-
gsrty died at Philadelohia, May q, of con
sumption. at the age of twenty-sevcn. In
the winter of 1855 he was q member of
Spalding's famous American team that
went around the world. Fogsrty's re-
narkable feass on the diamond were nuner-
Gus. In 1889 he stole the greatest number
OF bases of any man in the National league.
Poole, the Yale catcher, is wonder. and
puts up much better game than many
oid-time professionals.
Washington is making an effort TO get
Jerry Denny away from the Giants.
Governor Hill, of New York, has been 3
frequent visitor a5 the Eastern association
games in Albany. and is said to be very
fond OF the national game.
The Western association teams are very
well matched. Judging from their work
thus far.

a Railway Mistake.

a man went to 4 certain railway sta
ton in New Jersey TO buy 4 ticket for u
small village named Morrow, where a sta
ton had been opened only few days pre-
viously.
docs this train so to Morrow" asked
the man, coming up to the Office in great
hurry, and pointing to a train on the track
with steam up and every indication Of a
speedy departure.
"No; it goes today" replied the ticket
agent, CURLY. He thought the man was
trying to be funny" as the saying gees.
But" rejoined the man, who was in a
great hurry, does it goto Morrow today:'
No, IL goes yesterday, the week after
next" said the agent sarcastically, now
sure that the inquirer was trying to make
game of him.
You don't understand me- cried the
man, getting very much excited Us the en-
CINE gave warning toot; Il want TO go to
Morrow"
We'll, them" said the agent sternly,
"why don't you go tomorrow, and not
come fooling around here today. Step
aside, please, and let that lady approach
the window"
But, my dear SIR" exclaimed the be-
wildered inquirer, sit is important that /
should be in Morrow today, and if the train
stops there, OF if there is no train to Nor
row today
At this critical juncture. when there was
some danger that the mutual misunder-
standing would drive both men frantic, all
old official happened along and straight
ened out matters in less than minute
The agent apologized, the man got his
ticket, and the train started for Morrow
today.-Youth's Companion.

His name ranks high among the roll of
men who may look their fellows in the
face without shame, and his health is per-
feet. That he Will, as one who is full OF
infinite resource, make his mark may be
confidently prophesied, and we shall all
sse new ideas, new triumphs and new
methods of work. 1t will contribute not q
little to the success which Corporal John
will win that be Is man whom men Of
brains will gladly work for. He has won
the respect of newspaper men because he
invariably respects them, and he will get
that most valuable Of all seTvice-the ser
vice which cannot Be bought.
When Mr.. George ". Turner removed
from Boston to New York to assume tho
business management of The World, he
seemed young for so heavy charge, But
it Was not long before he began to show
that when Mr. Pulitzer asked Colonel
Charles II. Taylor Of the Boston Globe for
. man, he had known what he was about.
Under Mr.. Turner'S management the paper
doomed in way that Was as marvellous to
those who watched it Is it was pleasing to
those VINO benefited. The advertisements
kspt pace with the circulation and both
grew to amazing figures.
A month or two ago It was announced
that Mr.. Turner had severed his connec-
ton with the paper he had served % faith

a Long Eivea peopls.

Last summer Captain Tim Fitzgerald,
long resident of Nantucket, in speaking
Of the long lives Of its people to some visit
ing strangers, who seemed incredulous il
respect TO what he stated, said 10 re-en-
make himself unpopular on Nantucket
island he dies young. 1t is conthrairy TO
the custom" The captain is evidently an
lrishman.
But the town records bear out his state
ment. They show that of 234 deaths among
the resident population of the island dur
ing the last three years. Is were under 10
years of age, from 10 to 20, II from 20 to
so, IL from 80 TO 40. from 40 to 80, o from
so to GO, 42 from 90 to 20, So from 20 to 81,
66 from so to 50, and Is from 90 to 1O0
102, 49, per cent, were under 20 years Of
age, and 1So, 561S per cent, were 20 years
and over, and the average duration Of life
was So years and months. In Siasconset,
little village Of fishermen's huts has grown
into popular seaside resort, there were
two deaths during the same period, one at
60 and the other at Sc.
These facts are suggestive Of q wholesome
climate and sui, and as a result the island
has become popular resort for invalids
and others who desire to pass the summer
ION the sea shore for health, rest or pleasure.
1t has now a dozen prosperous hotels. rnors
than half of which are new or enlargements
of old ones, and each year cottages by the
dozen are being built by visitors who make
the island their summer home and by
others who let the1R for the season.

parently determined to invest q portion Of
the wealth that has come to him as the
reward of his enterprise and brains in
backing man whose qualifications he
knows thoroughly, and in whose success
he has the utmost confidence. Were Mr..
Turner in need of Endorsement this belief
of Colonel Taylor in him would be more
than sufficient to give it to him. -.
Two of the strongest men New York hds
ever seen have thus entered tho field for
themselves and in friendly rivalry. Both
are men of marked ability, both are backed
by ample capital and both are Sin it' to
stay. 1t may be taken for granted that New
York has had two new enterprises in jour
nalism begun which will live. -.
Messrs. Duke and Knapp retain interels
in The Recorder, and each has subscribed
an increase Of capital, SO that with the
money of Mr.. Turner and his friends the
paper is not likely to suffer for lack of the
sinews Of war.
Another new arrival in New York is Mr.
Merrill. who leaves the Philadelphia Press
to be editor-in- chief of the New York Press.
Mr.. Phillips, the owner of the paper, Sc
lected Mr.. Merrill after full consideration,
and the reputation which the new editor
brings with him should be his best intro
duction to the newspaper world here. Mr..
Merrill has been a success, and in that enc
word everything is summed up. He has a
field before him in which he may pillow deep
and reap golden harvest, for in this city
there Is but one other Republican paper
The Tribune-and The Press already has
large following
Mr.. Merrill is young in years while old
in experience, and he has that enthusiasm
in his work without which little may be
done, In Mr.. Phillips, the chief owner of
the paper, he has one who is rich, SO that
money will not be lacking should it be re-
quired. Already there are rumors Of i'm
proyements in the paper, and while these
may or may not be true. a brighter style
and moro crisp treatment Of subjects iseven
now apparent hear that Mr.. Merrill has
chance to earn an interest for himself
while building up property for Mr.. Phil
lips, and I am glad. With such a spur,
unneeded but none the less effective, we
may hope to see Mr.. Merrill's very best eff
forts put forth. ALFRED BALcH,
