TIE Deathbeds of Great Men.

Modern newspaper enterprise and mod
ern telegraph facilities have greatly in
creased the number of mOurners who
are virtually at the bedside of every
great man who is stricken with mortal
illness. For several weeks every morn
ing newspaper Office il the United States
had hourly bulletins from Mr.. Blaine's
sickroom. and III every such Office the
telegraph editors. operators, printers,
pressmen, etc, had to lengthcn their
nightly vigil a couple Of hours III order
to be sure that when the end came there
should be no delay in announcing it to
thecountry. The number Of men whose
days work was thus prolonged is many
thousand and the same men have
watched by the bedside OF many famous
men in the same way. During the whole
"a hours reporters We're on watch at the
Blaine mansion from the beginning of
his illness. The English reporters who
Were charged with 4 like duty when
Te1nyson lay dying deserted their trust,
ana the poets death was not announced
till several hours after its occurrence.
Such breach of duty by American re
porters is inconceivable.-Buf Con-

could give a satisfactory explanation,
and after querying for some time
it was decided to send pro-
