customed to the appearance of their own
journal. They can find their way out
therein. Doubtless, Mr. Bennctt's real
reason for adding a Sunday edition to the
Herald was that he foresaw the increase
in income that would accrue. though it is
doubtful if he expected the Sunday paper
to assume its commanding pre-eminence
and to become the real money Garner of
the establishment Possessing the keen
est of news sense, it is also possible that
he disliked to defer the publication Of
Saturdays events until Monday, and his
chagrin at the loss of an opportunity to
make fine journalistic stroke, probably
drove him into Sunday journalism.
TwentY-three years ago, when ] began
active life in New York, the Sun and
Tribune did not publish Sunday editions.
l remember an eyentful Saturday on
which the news of the capitulation Of
Sedan was flashed under the sea, when
the Tribune (Which had led the entire
metropolitan field in its reports of the
Franco-Prussian war owing to the activ-
ity Of Archibald Forbes) issued a Sun
day edition. 1t did not contain a single
advertisement. and onlya comparatively
small edition could be marketed, owing
TO inability to prepare for its distribu-
ton. But, il broke the record. In

Go Lead the Horse In.

From the Silican Folk Lore Dialect E. C. in
Short Stores.
Once upon a time there was a carter +;
he married, and took to wife a pretty
girl. The wedding over, and the newly
married pair alone, the carter turned and
said to the bride;
"See Rusidda," says he, 'now we are
husband and wife What happiness !
Now | will buy me horse, 1 will make a
cart, and so / will go with loads, and we
shall get bread. But there is this about
it: When l come home l will not work
any more. Then, see, my little Rusidda,
from now hencefOrth, when l come home,
you take the horse, unharness him from
the cart, lead him in and water him; in
short, care for him, for l am tired"
The girl began to shrug her shoulders
and says; II won't do it!'
What do you mean? Then who is to

II don't know how to do such things. -

''No; won't lead the horse in!"
But what is to be done if you must
lead him in2n
And l won't lead him and won't lead
him inl"
"And tell you, either you will lead
him or you will come out badly"
mo, no; neither now nor ever!"
AT this the young man arose in rage
and unbuckled his leather belt ''Now
tell you either you lead the horse in or
will set on you with my hands. Go, lead
the horse inl"
mo will not lead him in
"Ah, what is that2 Go lead the horse
in. " and he took her with great blow of
the strap on her shoulders.
What would you expect of the girl?
She began to scream like one burnt,

in! won't lead him inn

The neighbours came running "Chil-
rem children, what is it? You are just
married and begin the quarrels What
is it? About the horse2 Gene off we
will lead him in, Where is the horsel"
But, says the young man, lit was

many respects, that single issue Of the
New York Tribune is the most remark
able and far-auo-away the best ever is
sued from its prcssrOom. / remember
that it contained a biography Of Napoleon
III, written o4haud, by Bayard Taylor
a masterpiece In its way. In those days
it must not be forgotten, the daily news
paper was printed on the old Hoe press
through the machine. The first side, ~
as IL was called, went 70 press at S O'Clock
in the evening, and the second side fol
lowed about 230
Those were the days Of comparatively
small circulations. The rapid perfecting
press made the Sunday Journal Of to-day
possible. Not until the Sunday paper en-
tered the field was it demonstrated that
in large cities, the growth in circulation
outstrips increase in population. The di-
versified features of the Sunday journal
created new reading public, since be-
come multitudiuous, composed Of men
and women who took and read more than
one daily journal.
1t is notorious in every metropolitan
Office that the great records for circula-
ton have been made on the first day Of
the week. An incident in support of this
theory is that the Sullivan-Kilrain fight
occurred on a Saturday, and believe the
high water mark on the New York
World was made on the Sunday following
that memorable pugilistic event. On
that occasion more than 500, coo copies of
a 32-page paper were manufactured and
sold. julius CHAMBERS.

HEART AND LUNGS OF THE METROPOLITAN



The Sunday paper of to-day is the
money-earner and the financial hacker
of the metropolitan daily papers. The
real newspapers of this country now APP
pear seven times each week. A legend,
"Daily, except Sunday" is sometimes
encountered in the far west, where the
mad career of the daily paper stops from
sheer inambitiOn one day in the week;
but in the metropolis there is not n single
morning newspaper, entitled to the name,
that does not issue every day in the year
In this class | do not include the shipping
and trade jOurnals-eXcellent enterprises
in themselves, but in no way related to
the journalism of the present period.
The Sunday newspaper is in the field to
stay. It cannot be cried down the
banks,n or laughed out of court Its crit
les may revile it; the advocates of the old
Puritan Sabbath may scOrn it, but it will
continue to grow in circulation, in profit
earning capacity and, predict in charac-
ter.
During the past ten years the Sunday
issue has grown to such proportions that
it has become one of the leading features
of American journalism. 1t still suffers
from the early handicap of the So-called
Sunday newspaper-a generally discredit-
able member of the family, filled with
scandal and vile English, adorned with
flaming headlines, and, of late years, en-
bellished with chalk pictures, bad enough
to consort with the text they accompany.
This so-called Sunday newspaper, gen
orally printed on Saturday afternoon,
containing chiefly fiction of the "penny
dreadful order, horrible news inventions
Gntended to display the most disreputa-
Bile phases of human life) and attacks
upon private character, has no part in the
ascendency of the Sunday edition of the
daily newspaper. The vilest publications
ever issued in the English language, low
in tone and disgraceful in management.
have generally borne the date of the
Christian Sabbath. A generation of CON
scientious labor on the part of legitimate
and practical newspaper workers has
been required to efface the discredit thus
cast upon the nameof the Sunday Journal
James Gordon Bennett, Sr., was the
first proprietor to add Sunday edition
to his Observation-Disclosures newspaper,
the New York Herald. He realized what
it meant to the reading public to have
the events of one day in each week drop
ped out of their lives. In no other cOun-
try has the printing of newspapers be-
come such component element in com
mercial energy of the people as in the
United States The reading of newspa-
pers is a part of the everyday life of
every man of business, trade or toll, and
the elder Bennett was shrewd enough to
see that if his patrons were allowed to
buy any other paper one day out of the
seven they might find it quite convenient
to abandon him altogether. Familiarity
with one particular journal breeds
affection, not contempt, as the old
adage declares. Readers become ac-

readers want Hawaiian information to-
morrow, not next month.
The newspaper writer must have his
knowledge at his fingers ends and may
not write at his ease in a library, pre-
pared to revise every inelegancy of ex-
preston out of his manuscript. But,
generally speaking, | hesitate to admit
shat newspapers are instruments for the
dissemination of error. Lowells asser-
ton that the man who never makes mis-
takes never makes anything is worth re-
Numbering even in criticising the press,
and it would be surprising if the great
sums expended in ascertaininp
the truth should procure only error If

and foreigners of equal eminence write
for the newspapers, can magazinists crit
icise the latter without calling attention
to their own demeritsl
AS to illustration, it seems to me that
newspapers are up to the magazines
picture should first convey information,
and secondly be a work of art. Journal
istic portraiture seems equal to magazine
portraiture. Illustrations in the daily
press are as beautiful on the average as
those IN some magazines. Certainly the
average remuneration of newspaper
artists and writers is equal to that of
magazinists and the desire to sell litera-
o.
centre is as great as it must be in periodi-
cal sanctums, as newspaper editors know
to their cost.
To deny that newspapers educate, refine
and elevate the people is courageous but
hardly justihable. If the American peo-
pie merit the encomiums of j. Stuart Mill.
Leon Say and William f. Gladstone that
in knowledge of economical and literary
subjects and in acquaintance with the in
stitutions and qualities of other nations
than themselves they are far ahead OF
any country on earth, are the newspapers
or the magazines TO receive the greater
credit for it?
1t seems to me now that the tendency
OF the newspaper is TO something better,
while the tendency of the periodical is in
the direction of the newspaper rather
than to higher and nobler flights into in
tellectual realms. The magazine is trench
ing on the domain of the Sunday journal

MAGAZINES THAT DISSEMINATE ABSURD
ERRORS.

ERRORS.
The proposition that a combination of
newspapers, acting through a versatile,
alert and fecundly suggestive agency, pop
ularly known as syndicate, does not
possess the resources and ability of a
magazine or combination of magazines
should be sufficiently absurd on its face
to carry its own REPUTATION; but constant
alteration and reiteratien by magazine
editors and writers has impressed a good
many people that it must be a fact The
reasons adduced in support of such con-
tention arc even moro preposterous than
the contention itself. Mr. Edmund
Clarence Stedman. speaking at the Con-
tempory club in Philadelphia last winter
admitted that the newspapers pay prom
inent authors as much for their work as
do the magazine and frequently more {;
but asserted that, nevertheless, when
even tirst-class author attempted to
write for newspaper he seemed to lose
all Inspiration.
Mr. Stedman was engaged until | was
forced to leave, but Mr. Richard Watson
Glider kindly elucidated this remark of
the banker poet by saying: MIR Sted-
man was referring to some things that
have lately been done and have not turned
out well.n l know exactly what the
"some things which had lately been done
and did not turn out well' were Within
a few months the magazines have printed
work by the self-Same authors, which has
turned out even worse. ] wonder what
Mr.. Stedman would think of anybody
who said tuat their failure was due TO
the fact that they were writing for such a
small audience in the magazines compared
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-20

with that which they address through a
syndicate Of news papers.
Mr. Stedman certainly does not think
that Goldsmith failed 70 Undue his "Citi-
zen OF the World letters with literary
tone because they were written for the
columns Of a newspaper, nor that Addi-
son and Steele lacked literary inspiration
when they produced the Spectator and
"Tattler' under practically similar condi-
tons. Everybody knows how delightful
TO an author and how grateful % lover
of books are fine paper and bindings,
broad margins and clear type; but these
set on" literature they do not make 1t,
else any man able TO pay to have his vol
ume issued artistically would over
shadow his less fortunate brother whose
only possession is God-given genius.
The lack of q fine setting did not pre-
vent Thackeray from writing a great
novel when he gave Vanity Fair to the
world in rather mean looking yellow
backed parts, nor would publication in

A Unique Vocation Pursued With Sue
cess by an Old Man.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
speaking Of queer occupations, - said a
Fourth street merchant to the delegate,
there is an old fellow down town who
makes a good living reading the newspa-
pers. This old man gets out of bed at an
early hour and gets a copy Of each of the
morning papers as early as they can be
bought. He then reads them exhaust
lively, and. by the time business men get
down town he has thoroughly mastered
all branches Of the news of the day He
is well educated and bright, and has a
keen perception. He then starts out,
dropping in on first one and then another
of his subscribers, for he lets his
services by the week just as a
newspaper. He enters bank where
everybody is busy. He knows the
likes and dislilfes of every one of his Gus
toners, and he entertains each for a few
moments with the news of his choice, and
then with few passing remarks about
the general news of the day, passes on to
the next. You will find him discussing
the silver question one moment and race
horses the next. He can tell the tips for
the day and the prices of silver. He
knows the latest in art and literature
and is thoroughly posted in politics He
is a walking cyclopedia. He is not only a
daily newspaper, but whole file of news
papers, with lightning reference index.
He tells you the news of the day, and if
asked will refresh your memory Oh past
events.
''He is strictly business, and while he
answers every question asked by a sub
scriber freely, he absolutely will not talk
to non-subscriber. If you want to talk
to him about the happenings of the day
you must pay a weeks fee in advance
Then he will see you every day for a
week. Ifyou are at your Office regularly
he will come to you daily, but if you fail
to be on hand there that is your loss. One
beauty of his system is that he has no bad
debts. He has preferred list of ten,
whom he charges 81 a month, and upon
whom he waits at any hour they name.
Then his common customers pay 10 cents
week and he agrees to see them all be
fore noon. When a subscribers tim
is up the fact is mentioned and unlesse
payment is made at once you can't get
the old fellow to open his mouth. Pay
him and he is at your service. He is
strictly business and does not regard
himself as an excrescence on the face of
business nor is he so regarded by his
customers He is a kindly old fellow who
has a smile for everybody and for whom
everybody has a pleasant word. He does
not bare tales, but confines himself
strictly to what is in the papers and thus
avoids the responsibility for tales he
might otherwise be able to tell"

The competition of the newspaper with

JACK DEMPSEY CRAZY.
'Chagrin Over His Defeat by Fitzsin-
mons Temporarily Unhinges His
From the Pittshnrp Post.

HIOuh IilS ElIlSDuIB 1OSU.
St Paul. Aug. 10.-Jack Dempsey, the
Nonpareil, is at ST. Paul He came
here about a week ago to await instruc-
tions from Gus Tuthill, his manager, to
join him in the east During his stay his
match with Dick Burge was consummat-
ed despite the fact that Dempsey expect
ed it would be Smith that he would fight
in his next battle.
His heart was almost broken when he
was defeated by Eitzsimmons. He brooded
over this for months, and likewise he is
now breeding over the opinion which it is
claimed the sports in the east have of
him. The result is that his mind has be-
come temporary unhinged, and he is now
at st. Joseph's hospithl, undergoing treat
ment. He has been there since Monday,
and is pursued by the idea that his
friends, or some of them, are trying to
make away with him. Other vagaries
also run in his mind and it will require
perfect rest TO straighten out the tangles
in his brain. The house physician at st.
j oseph's thinks that eventually Dempsey
will be all right again, and Dempsey's
friends are of the same belief, bet for a
time it looked rather serious
