An Unprecedented Worlds Fair
Offer to the People.
FOR A NOMINAL SUM THE BEST OF CHICAGO
AND CALIFORNIA JOURNALISM
For Two Dollars Chicago INTER OCEAN Weekly the WEEKLY
UN0NThe Great Worlds Fair History this day toits
Close Day by Day-TWenty-ourP Pages oftwo Great
Journals Week for less than Four Cents

The RECoRD-UNIoN and WEEKLY
UNION make an announcement which
viii attract a great deal of de-
served attention. The management of
the two papers has affected an arrange
ment with the Chicago Weekly Inter
Ocean, one of the largest. best and all
around attractive and valuable news
papers in the world, by which the
WEEKLY UNION and Weekty Inter Ocean,
issued from the Dailg Inter Ocean Office,
win, from this date to the close of the year
ofthe Columbian Exposition and Worlds
Fair at Chicago, be furnished for the
very low price of 81 year for both pa
pers, or the Weekly Inter Ocean and the
DAILY REcoRD-UNIoN for SO so year.
The meaning of this is that the sub
scriber to the WEEKLY UNION of twelve
pages, and 81 columns week, will also
receive the Weekly Inter Ocean of twelve
pages, and los columns week, or "A pages
in the aggregate for g year.
1t must be borne in mind that the activ-
tiles concerning the Worlds Fair are al
ready well-advanced. Nearly all the
great buildings are under construction,
foreign commissioners and workmen are
arriving, and constant, and lively and
ever increasing interest is now begun.
TO fully get the benefit of ali matters con-
corning the great exposition, one should
begin now with its history and follow it
close.
Now the Chicago Inter Ocean is a clean,
high-minded paper. 1t can with perfect
confidence be placed in the hands of
youth with assurance that it will be to
them helpful and elevating. tits splen-
did literary journal, full of matters of
greatest interest to home-kitchen to par
lor-office, business mart, library, studio,
lecture-room, school, church, theater,
shop, harbor, field, orchard-indeed its
great success has been won by reason of
its skill in acceptably addressing varied
tastes. Every one knows what the
WEEKLY UNION is, it needs in these col
umns no introduction. 1t is proud, how
ever, to associate itself with a journal of
such worldwide reputation as the Inter
Ocean.
That all subscribers may profit by the
arrangement announced, we are able to
say that old subscribers to the WEEKLY
UNION, on renewal, may avail of the
new offer by paying the few cents addi-
tional, and which really does not equal the
cost of the white paper upon which the
Inter Ocean or the WEEKLY UNION is
printed.
The WEEKLY UNION makes this Column
bian year present to its patrons, new and
old, as a means of gratifying long
entertained desire to afford its readers
full and accurate information about the
wonders and wealth OF the great Worlds
Fair. We might have expended large
sum in extra special correspondence, and
we will have special writing and news
from the great fair, but it could not begin

to be so extensive, so elaborate, as will be
the matter published on the ground from
day TO day by the Inter Ocean, nor could
any correspondence be one-twentieth so
detailed as will be the reports in the
Inter Ocean.
The offer made, therefore, is one that
we anticipate will be widely appreciated.
1t has been made possible only by great
difficulty and at heavy expense to the
WEEKLY UNION, but it enables the latter
to supplement its own efforts, which are
being constantly augmented, with the
best news and family paper published
in Chicago. The I1te2-O ocean manage
ment has nothing to gain by the new ar
rangement, beyond the introduction of
its weekly more generally in California.
1t will not make a similar arrangement
with any other paper; it did not suggest
it to the WEEKLY UNION, but it is the
result of the labor and solicitation of the
management of the latter alone. 1t viii
be realized, therefore, that it is a special,
unprecedented and exceedingly valuable
offer, one we think that has not been
paralleled in the history of journalism.
It means that for s. year there will be
mailed free of postage and neatly wrap
ped, to any subscriber, twenty-four pages
weekly of two of the best general news,
family, business and literary papers in
the world, or 1,24S pages and 1854 col
umns at cost of less than four cents a
week.
Under such conditions any man or
woman, however poor, can have Ii
brary of the news of the times; an elab-
crate current news history of the world;
an exhaustive record of all Worlds Fair
activity before and during the fair, a
clean, deeply interesting mass Of matter
for general reading, embraced in nearly
200 columns every week for very little
oUeT half q cent q day.
We submit this unequaled offer to all
readers of the RECORD UNION and
WEEKLY UNION, and to all others, with
confidence that it will be received with
pleasure and widely availed of. That it
may be made still more convenient and
acceptable to those who profit by the
offer, we have arranged that the Inter
Ocean shall be mailed direct from Chi
cago to our subscribers, so that all who
accept the S2 offer will twice week, and
on different dates, receive large 12-page
paper.
To those who wish the daily RECORD
UNION and the weekly I,ter- Ocean for
the same period, we make the offer to
furnish both papers for Sc 80 year. The
price of the daily RECoRD-UNIoN is Sc
alone, Thus this offer means that for so
cents added to the regular price of the
RECoRD-UNI we will furnish two
thousand, four hundred and ninety-six
pages of newspaper matter for year, or
eighteen thousand seven hundred and
twenty columns of matter printed in two
distinct sections of our common country.

American people, and it has kept pace
with this newspaper license, which IN Its
munger for news and scandal has broken
down the guards of modesty and pru-
Cence. The lmmodesty of the American
stage has become as great as that OF the
Romans IN the days of their decay. All
these alterations toward immodesty and
grosSnesS IN American life have been
largely fostered, if not created, by the
scandal-loying news habit of the Amerl-
can newspaper and its destruction OF
privacy. In making the law OF libel
then, while the newspaper should be pro-
tected against prosecution by mere spite
and malice, there is need that that law OF
libel shall, upon full consideration and in
just strength OF public opinion, repress
all that present newspaper habit which
In gathering news destroys privacy and
Is famlliarlZing Americans everywhere
with scandal and grossness and matters
Oh personal conduct of vlciouSnesS which
the public welfare demands shall not be
brought to public knowledge. Whatever
the law of libel, it should be such that
great many American newspapers as
now conducted would be an ofIense
against the law and their publication and
circulation prevented. The law of libel,
however amended in the interests
of newspapers. should be yet more
amended in the interests of the people,
and for the protection of their right to
privacy. 1t should be impossible for any
matter whatever TO be published which
invades the privacy of the life of the peo-
pie. The law should permit nothing bat
what is official and public, and of public
concern, to be published by any news

MOONSHINERS' REVENGE.
A Murder In the Laurel Hill Mountains In
Pennsylvania and an Unseen Witness.

A Murder In the Laurel Hill Mountains in
Pennsylvania and an Unseen Witness.
SOMERSET, Pa, April 2.-While James
Beal. a young man, was walking o-er
the Laurel Hill mountains Wednesday
and had reached lonely point he was
startled by a ldhd cry of ''halt." Peer
ing through the bushes he saw an old
man and few yards beyond were two
other men with guns leveled at the old
man. The command to halt was fol.
lowed by the report of a gun and the
old man dropped to his knees. The two
men then rushed upon their victim,
dubbed him over the head with the
butt end cf their guns, and then
dragged his body away into the woods.
Beal fed, and going to the village of
Trent told his story and posse was
formed to capture the highway
men. Jonathan Herehstetter, an old
man who answers to the descrip-
ton given by Beal, is missing.
Herehstetter was the governments
strongest witness in the moonshine
ca ses tried in the United States district
court at Scranton two weeks ago, when
three members of the Somerset (Fayctte
county, band Of illicit distillers were
convicted to the Fayette county Jail for
six months. At the time the United
States officers made the raid on the
gang they only succeeded in capturing
four of its members. The leader of the
moonshiners escaped arrest, and the
gang threatened to take Herehstetter's
life, and it is believed that they have
done 50.
LATER.
The dead body of Herehstetter was
found last evening in Laurel Hill creek.
