What ia Naws2

An ingeni GUS editor of q large and successful
daily, who would be recognized as one of the
best newspaper men in the United States if his
name were mentioned. recently had occasion to
employ some new reporters. says Youths Com
pdnion.
Many men applied, all Of whom he called into
the sanctum, and, paying no attention to their
letters OF recommendation, gave each one of
them writing pad. at the head OF which was
the question, What is news"
Half an hour to answer that question young
choice"
There was some lively scratching for thirty
minutes, and the result of the newspaper exam
ination was intensely interesting. Some of the
answers of the successful competitors are sug-
gestive. Here are a few of them:
News is anything that the general public
ought to know"
News consists of events that are either very
usual or very unusual"
News is the daily record of the human race
put into convenient shape for the public"
News is the panorama of the world every
twenty four hours in embryo"
News is whatever the public will read and
pay for"
News is anything from Jones' arrival in
town to the fall of an empire"
News is historical fact. 1t is what occurs,
not what is imagined"
News is truth concerning men, nations and
things. That is, truth concerning them which
is helpful. or pleasant, or useful, or necessary
for a reader to know."
This last definition pl eased the editor very
much.

Fooled by His Greed.

John Davis was famous turkey hunter in
Southwestern Ohio a few years ago, says
Youths Companion. He caught hundreds of
the birds every year. and was said to be pos
sessed of quite a handsome property accomu-
lated in this way. One of his favorite methods
of capturing his game was by what he called a
spring trap" This was a small log house. with
a big door which smut with a spring, managed
by the hunter.
A trail Of corn was laid from the door for a
quarter of mile into the bushes. The unsus-
pecting turkeys would follow this track of
corn and march inside, when presto
the door closed with snap and they were
caught
One day Mr.. Davis was tending the door Of
this spring trap. when to his delight he saw
twenty fine, large turkeys approaching They
came up to the entrance. The first one ven
tured in, then the second and the third, and
so on until nineteen were in the log house. The
twentieth bird fingered. and Mr. Davis waited,
loath to close tae door without him.
He was sure of nineteen, but the last one was
a fine fellow, and he couldn't bear the thought
of losing him.
While he waited one of the turkeys inside
stuck its head out the door and then hoped
outside.
Hell go back in minute an the other one
with him. thought the hunter, but instead of
that second one came out and while the
hunter waited for them to go inside another
came through the door, 1t would certainly be
too bad to spring the trap now, and so Davis
waited-and every turkey but one came OUT
WALL L ii make sure o. him !" said the hunter
to himself, and he sprung the door.
That's bout as silly a performance s Use

The other day the MORNING NEWS called
attention to the fact that the legislatures Of
the southern states, one after another, were
refusing to make appropriations to enable
their respective states to make exhibits at
the worlds fair aAong as there was pros
pect of the force bill becoming a law. In
our dispatches yesterday It was stated that
Indiana, a northern state, had taken similar
action, and it Is thought probable that If
the force bill becomes a law the
Legislature Of the great state OF New York
viii make no appropriation for an exhibit
from that state. IL is not improbable that
other northern states viii follow the ex-
ample Of Indiana
And 1t is not strange that the democratic
states are showing lack Of interest in the
fair. The Republican party, by insisting
binary character-legislation that is in
tended to enable it to retain control OF the
government notwithstanding the fact that
it is in the minority-is bringing about a
state Of feeling that is not in harmony
with the purpose Of the fair. The fair can
be made successful only by the united and
harmonious action Of all the states. The
passage Of the force bin. however. would
make unity and harmony impossible. At
least half Of the states would regard the
worlds fair celebration as a republican
jubilee, and they would feel no desire TO take
part in it. They would let the republicans
have their jubilee all to themselves.
II tie force bill senators are wise they
will make no further effort 20 get the force
bill before the Senate. They will take their
defeat in good part and admit that the bill
is a mistake, and that the people do not
want it. II they persist in bringing it
forward again, however, they will do so
with the full understanding that they are
not legislating for the majority. and are
jeopardizng great interests with no other
purpose than that of securing q partisan
advantage.

Judging from the way the Irish leaders
talk since the Boulogne conference, the re-
suit could have been but little better than
the maintenance Of the past status quo, ex-
cept that they agreed that Parnell should
get married. and afterward he and O'Brien
should visit America. and Dillon should go
to jail preparatory to taking the leadership
when his sentence expires. At present this
is but rumor and without confirmation.
Only one part of it appears quite definite,
and that is that Parnell is to marry Mrs,
O'Shea and travel short time on the CONT
nent with her, then leave her at his Avon
dale place and come campaigning in Amer
lea. That's good maneuver.

A Good Result of the storm


The great snowstorm which prevailed in
New York and vicinity all Saturday night
and part of Sunday was very severe one,
and did more damage to telegraph and tele-
phone wires than was done by the great
blizzard in March. 1888. The storm began
with wind and rain, and ended with snow.
The snow was not Of the light, heecy kind.
1t was soggy and heavy, and, there
fore. was very destructive to trees
and to telephone, telegraph and fire alarm
wires. OF the vast number of wires of the
Western Union company leading out of
New York only two were in condition to
Do operated at the close of the storm. The
telephone and fire alarm systems were total
wrecks
The members of the board Of electrical
control in New York have made up
their minds that the work of putting
electrical wires in sub-ways must be pushed
forward more rapidly. A good many wires
have already been put into sub-ways, and
those wires work as well as wires stretched
on poles
SO many Of the telegraph and telephone
polls have been broken that the streets are
obstructed, and it viii require days to put
the wires in position again. What the tele-
graph and telephone companies lost by Sat-
urday nights storm would more than pay
the interest for year on the cost of putting
their lines in subwayS Underground,
not overhead, is the proper place for the
wires.
