Pulitzer saw, and sees very clearly to-
Gay. that the greater New York be-
comes, the greater and more influential
will be The World. Consequently one
must admire him.. He has a cease
less energy, and a courage that Is
little less than sublime. These qualities
he has infused into The World. Hence
1t Is the great paper we see to-day.
The Worlds success may be fCund In
the fact that 1t is always with the

make a million without turning a hair.
He prides himself on the fact that he
never allows triies to disturb him.
A reporter of The World yesterday
asked Mr.. Bloodgood what he thought
gave The World the largest circulation
Of any paper printed in the English
language.
why" said he, ANY one who has
been a careful reader of New York
papers ought to be able to answer that
question. 1t has the largest circulation
because II Is the best newspaper. The
reason. you see. is very simple. The
policy OF The World always has been
to make every department perfect. 1t
has cost a good deal of money to do
this, but Mr. Pulitzer had large ideas
and evidently never took time to con-
slider the cost. The result has been that
The World IS the great all-around
newspaper the country ever saw.
NO NEWS TOO COSTLY FOR THE
PEOPLE.
Take, for instance, one feature Of
the paper to-day as an illustration of
my idea. Ex-President Harrison, shortly
after he left the White House, accepted
a chair In the Stanford University and
is to deliver a series of lectures to the
students on the Constitution Of the
United States. Such a thing never be-
fore happened in the history of this
country. To my mind 1t is a great
feature in our everyday life. Ex-Presi-
dents of the United States don't go
around giving their views on the Con-
stitution every day. This idea hit the
editor of The World, because l noticed
when I picked up my paper a verbatim
report of his lecture. The other papers
had simply nothing. This one incident
bears out my theory of the success Of
The World. There Is no corner on the
face Of the globe where its reporters
will not go on a hunt fDr a story. Elk
pense is nothing. To get the news is
all that is required.
THE American public is a bright
public. 1t did moi AXE 1t long to find
out that when a newspaper was wanted
a World must be bought. That is
the reason why, as all intelligent lei
know, the circulation of The World
is 3,l67 every day. l believe that in
five years more it will circulate a
million copies a day."

FIRE IN A MALT-HOUSE.
Drying Seed IEniteI by Spontnn-
eOus Combustion.

Spontaneous combustion caused a
fire at 8 o'clock this morning in a malt
house at go West Forty-ninth street,
and did 5000 damage.
The malt house occupies three build
ings, from COG to 6lo. The latter build
ing is used as a drying department by
a. f. Ferris. Some time ago n boat
with flaXseed sank on the Jer-
sey coast. The boat was raised, and
for the last week the seed has been
drying in the malt house. Yesterday
1GJ tons were put in to dry.
Smoke vas seen coming from the
building this morning, and an alarm
was sent in. The fremen found the
smoke so dense as to Interfere with
their work, so a second alarm was sent
in. Water was poured upon the smoul,
dering seed for three hours.
