The Newspaper Reporters.

The meeting of the Peoples party
state central committee recently fur
nished the newspaper reporters with
the usual opportunity for speculation.
1t enabled them to earn their sal
aries" They have to do this and
that which they fail to secure in facts
and correct information, long expert
ence has enabled them to supply from
imagination.
It is of no consequence 10 the jour
nalists by whom these men are en-
ployed, how many of the facts report
ed are drawn from the reporters i'm
agination, always provided they re.
fleet unfavorably upon the Alliance or
Peoples party.
This is the chief test of qualification
in a successful reporter of the opposi-
ton press. and the one who can man
ufacture the most extravagant report
from the smallest amount of material
is sure of the best position and the
highest salary. 1t is unnecessary to
state that Topeka has several that
command good positions. They can
report long interviews without ever
seeing the party interviewed. They
can report plans and resolutions of
Alliances, conventions and People,
party committees that never were
thought of except by themselves.
It is for this kind of work they are
paid. and therefore this Is the kind OF
work they aim to do. They are clever
fellows. generally. but their position
and their pay is made to depend. not
on the correctness and reliability OF
the matter they furnish, but rather
upon its quantity and the degree OF
injustice they are able to do to the
common enemy of the Demo-Republi-
can combination. 1T is condition
that confronts them" and they are
compelled to conform to the condition.
They are perhaps more to be pitied
| than blamed.

An Interesting Development.

How can this world be made a

platform of a movement just organ
lied. The first public meeting was
but lately held. 1t is novel under
taking and the end will be sought
through means as novel.
Primarily it will not have anything
to do with man in the next world.
For the present man as a grown up
animal will be left to the care of the
various agencies already at work for
his welfare. This particular reform
will deal with children and the first
efforts will be directed to secure pub.
lie parks and Fairgrounds for the lit
tie ones. The aim is to wipe out the
slums and make oyer the beings who
have been inheriting them. If the
child can be got right the man will
take care of himself

The Man Dropped.

He was about to make his way
around to the side-gate of house on
Montcalm street when a woman open
ed the front door and called:
This way, please, come right in the
front door,"
He came back, looked at her and
cautiously began ascending the steps
as he said:
Madam, it is through no fault Of
mine that / have been brought to
this"
"Oh, certainly not-walk right in"
she interrupted, "you wish to see the
lady of the house?"
"Yes'm."
"Well, I am the person. Hang
your hat on the hall-tree, please"
Madam" he said as he
hung his old cap on peg,
Il was going to call at the
back door to see if you"
II see. Walk into the parlor and
sit down a moment. You are IN
search OF work-wood to saw, coal to

"Yes'm.'
"Poor man! How hard it must be

"F-f-fried!' stammered the aston

Certainly; won't take me over half
an hour. Do you like your mince pie
hot or cold, and do you prefer strong
coffee"
He sat rubbing one old shoe over
the other, too astonished to reply,
and she continued:
II am so glad you happened to call
here. If you don't object to dark
clothes can fit you out with a suit
almost new. Can you eat bread with
your dinner or shall l make some hot
biscuit?"
His feet were now too paralyzed to
rub, and he sat with his mouth open.
GLOW dreadful you must feel-wife

He got up, sulked into the hall side
ways, as if afraid Of being hit. reached
for his cap and backed out doors.
"Why, what's the matter" asked
the woman as he backed down the
steps.
"Nuthin' much" he muttered.
"But there must be! Have in any
manner wounded your sensitive feel
ings? Have I carelessly uttered words
which brought up bitter recollections
and caused you sorrow"
''Noap," he replied as he backed out
OF the gate.
But what is it," she persisted.

A Rebuff From Bill Nye.

The visit OF Bill Nye, the humorist,
to the city has brought to the surface
OF a newspaper mans memory a GER
tain funny incident which occurred
several years ago when the great fun
maker was on alecturing tour through
the West. Nye had stopped in a
small city, where he was booked to
lecture, and in the evening the only
daily paper in the place sent its
one reporter down to interview him.
The reporter belonged to that class OF
painfully fresh young men, and he
thought an opportune time had ar
rived when he might try some OF his
rural wit and fun on Bill Nye. When
he arrived at the hotel he was inform
ed that Nye was eating his dinner, and
upon going back ne discovered the
rlnk-pated punster just finishing his
dessert. Approaching him he tapped
him lightly on the shoulder and re-
marked, in tones loud enough for the
entire roOmful to hear:
"Sir, allow me to draw nigh (Nye) to
your"
Nye never smiled, but, dropping his
knife and fork, arose, and, facing the
bright young man, said in that inimit-
| able way of his:
"Young man, you should not waste
your wit upon the dessert air. You
should keep it close and then syndi-
cateit for deorderizing purposes.
The young man retreated amid the
jeers OF the diners, while Nye resumed
| his seat and continued his repast.

beaten. as by reason of his silver plat
form he was in antagonism to their
dearest interests. Fourth. because his
success would be the triumph of a
principle which would completely
shelve New York or Eastern candi-

most certainty. Fifth. because his
election meant the defeat of John

ALUrIINUM RACING-SHELLs.
Lighter and Faster Than Cedar and
Likely to Become Popular.


Aluminium is now being used for the
building Of raciEg-shells with the best of
results, and it is likely to take the place of
cedar as a material for this purpose. Dan
Galanaugh, the noted coach of the Vespers
of Philadelphia. and who was also empioved
in that capacity for while last season with
the TritoDs OF Newark, was the first man
to build shell OF aluminium less than a year
ago. Through making careful trials and
experiments since then he has come TO the
conclusion that this wonderful metal will
revoiutionlze boat-racing.
His long experience as builder of cedar
shells aided him materially in making the
aluminium craft practicable. Very few Der
sons are aware that the double scull in
which Hosmer and Gaudaur defeated Han.
Ian and OConnor for the worlds cham ion-
ship was built of aluminium by Gaianaugh.
In this race the record was smashed for the
distance by the winners.
Galanaagh built a four-0ared she'll of
aluminium Tor the Fairmount Rowing Club
Of Philadelphia, and that clubs crack four
lowered the record over the Schuylkill
River course by nine seconds. An eight
Dared she'll of aluminium is now on the
stocks at Galanaugb's shop in the Quaker
City, it being the first OF its kind ever made.
The aluminium is in one piece about
nineteenth of an inch thick, and the weight
will be nearly fifty pounds less than cedar
boat It is probable that the eight will be
purchased by local club. Meanwhile the
oarsmen are awaiting the result with much
interest.
