tematized methods-of news gathering of
the present decade.
Nowadays the illness of a prominent
person gets into print at once, and the
watch is set without delay. Perhaps the
attending physicians assist the reporter
by issuing bulletins at certain hours of
the day, or perhaps the reporters can
only obtain news from the doctors by
means OF questioning. In any event, in
the case of very prominent sick per-
son, everybody who enters the house is
marked and his identity discussed, if he
be stranger to the reporters, and every
body who leaves the house is wayfaid
and closely questioned.
By putting together the answers to
their questions, and basing fresh ques-
tions for newcomers upon the information
thus obtained, the newspaper men can
digest the reports from the sick room,
eliminate the uninportant statements,
confirm and straighten out the vital in
formation, and SO arrive at and prepare
condensed and reliable statements of the
occurrences within the sick room, the
changes in the patients condition and
the modified chances Of recovery or
death.
When the subject Of a close watch OF
this description is in dying condItson
rumors of his death frequently get abroad
somehow, and to run down thess rnmors
and confirm or disprove them Is the
newspaper watchers first-duty. Tins Is
not always the easiest thing in the world
todo, since the inquirer cannot pass be.
yond the threshold of the house, and OF
course cannot risk disturbing the patient
by ringing the bell and calling some one
to thedoor. Toadd to the trying nature
OF the situation, he is in constant fear
mat rival may run down the rumor be-
tore nm, and If it be true, first announce
Inc news OF the sick mans death in his
paner.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1891-02-25

Very often reporters on death
watch" arrange with snmeof the atsend-
ants or nurses within the house to dis-
play certain signal in the window
when the expected death occurs. differ
emf SIGNALS being agreed ON for day and
night. Still, with all possible precau
tions and the utmost alertness, the work
is most trying and wearing, and the I'M
fortunate newspaper man constantly has
a bugaboo before him in the shape of
fear that the object of his professional
solicitation may die and he not discover
it until after his fellows.
