Friday morning the New York Tribune
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary Of its ex-
istenoe by telling the story of its birth and
life. 1t is an interesting story. Only one
man who started with the paper still re-
mains. Secretary Rocker is that man.
What memory he must have to supply all
these details of SO long and eventful a
career. Memories of such succession OF
stirring vicissitudes are well worth the
trouble and expense of living SO long. To
the mature Tribune and the venerable Sec
rotary Rocker the MORNING NEWS hastens
to prefer the fraternal assurances of cor
dial congratulation upon their ripe expe-
rience and apparently good health.

That is rather startling report that
comes from New York to the effect that
Anna Dickinson was not insane at all, but
was merely locked up by the connivance of
her sister in order to extort money from
charitable people by disseminating har-
rowing stories of her poverty and distress
All sorts of INSCRIPTIONS schemes to raise
money are now being adopted. But this is
the meanest that has been heard of in a
great while. Capable New York physi-
clans pronounce Miss Dickinson perfectly
sane. But what can she do with her crafty
sister7
