The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-05-07

Quoting the Recorders color printing ex-
pertinent. Mr. Chambers has been a
working reporter a Paris correspondent,
London editor and managing editor of the
Herald and Sunday editor of the World
He went to Once a Week at a salary re-
ported to be $4,000 a year, pushed that
periodical in great shape, tired of the
comparatively slow pace of weekly Jour
nalism and is now back in the heat of the
battle again and at the critical point. For
color printing is the fad of the day and
everybody is watching it.
| Mr.. Chambers goes to a staff of interest e
ling personalities. MIR. Turner is himself
the youngest looking member, a slight,
active man, indefatigable daring, resO-
Lutte, an unerring judge of men. John w.
Keller is at his right hand as editor
every inch man, and a good many
inches. James w. Clarke, for years the
presiding genius of the Boston Globe,
runs the editorial page Howard Bocock
Foley, Williams and other old-timers set
the pace for the Youngsters.
A popularity of the Recorder staff is
its employment of many women. From
the beginning woman has edited the
woman page For some time a woman
has held the Sunday editOrship, one of
the most eXacting posts in the list, and a
woman is one of the best advertising So
licitors, not TO mention the high pri-
Yates Of the gentler sex.
THE woMAN's CENTURY.
This is supposed to be the womans
century. You can't go to school com
mencement but some girl in white shoots
that ghastly ''chestnut" at you.
Here's what ! saw to-day: A calendar
made by hand, in twelve parts, one for
each month. Upon the cover of each
part little water color sketch, appro-
pirate to the. season, and not so very
badly done; upon each page a sentiment
chosen with care from a favorite author
and neatly copied, often of some length.
Altogether l have never seen the evidence
of a more useless and criminal waste of a
considerable fraction of Gods eternity.
''Your friend must have lots of time Oh
her hands" / said. am. always making
foolish speeches like that
''No indeed, " said the recipient of the
calendar Indignantly she is a very busy
woman"
/ should think so!
FOR 1898, ENAMEL.
Never before were American ia bles such
CLEAN of color as they are now. There
was time when white damask napery,
clear cut glass silver and the like com
prised a cool but brilliant picture at what
the esteemed McAllister would call "our
Nowadays it is different. Glass is
enameed in brilliant cOlors. Plates and
pots CLEAN like the rainbow. and even the
handles of knives and forks and spoons
are as many colored as Joseph's coat
Enamel is the order of the day. It's as
much as the white table cloth can do to
hold its own. Probably it wouldn't if it
vidn't make such an excellent background
for the colOred things.
There ism + any ssSm1ptPIst' yVpd0 dino off
than some of this enameled stuff. It's
costly; wouldn't be fashionable if it
wasn't.
Mrs Schieffelin has a remarkably fine
spread of the new enamel ware. Mrs.
George Gould fancies it greatly. Mrs.
Willie Vanderbilt is an enamelite Some
of the older and more conservative lead
ers says that the new style is too snowy.
Perhaps. That's why it takes.
GoTHAMs GENERALITIEs

cerned has been made misera BILE by Cranks,
usually cranks of the merciful order, but
not always. Cranks, like beggars, are
rapidly growing more numerous in New
York.
Moro money will be spent during the
coming season at race tracks than ever
before. Thenew anti-pool room legisla-
ton will put many thousands into the
pockets of the race track men Gambling
is on the increase, no doubt of it. On the
other hand drunkenness is decreasing, no
doubt of that, either.
The Press Club fair is on. 1t is the
biggest thing of its kind since the Seventh
Regiment fair, and bigger than that. too.
The city has grown. The opposition of
some conservative newspaper men to the
begging features of the enterprise has
hurt il somewhat, but not much. People
seem to think that the charitable work
of the Press Club entitle it to fair if it
wants one Anyhow, there are precious
few charities which can get along with
out the newspaper boys, and turn about is
fair play. DAVID WECHsLER.
