news-gathering concerns in every country
of Europe and America; everything, in
fact, was done, to bring with the greatest
speed to every city in this country the most
important and most interesting news from
every other city, civilized or uncivilized,
in the whole world.
without attempting, therefore, to de-
scribe the beginning and growth of The
United Press, we will attempt to give an
idea OF its present greatness and its method
of gathering and distributing the news of
the world, illustrating them by several in
cidents that have recently occurred.
1.-THE main offices of The United Press are
on the third floor of the Western Union
building on Broadway. The entire office
was recently remodeled and oYerhauled

mediation for the service it was to fulfill.
Half dozen of the old offices were thrown
into one room for the use of the telegraph
operators and the distributors of the news
dispatches. This room is brilliantly illum-
mated at night by incandescent lights, but
unless the visitor has been through heavy
battle or is accustomed to tremendous
noises the clicking of the telegraph instru-
ments is likely to drive him out"
Mr.. Fred N. Bassett, general Eastern
manager in giving rough outline of The
United Press system, said:

what to tell you. As we are an American
concern, and as our object is to serve the
newspapers in this country, think we had

A BOLD ROBBERY.

A bold robbery with a good haul
was made Friday night IN Mission
Valley Mr. Horny Schawe, an old
and wealthy farmer, has bpen in
the habit Of keeping quite 4 sum
of money in an iron safe about his
house, and the robbers, acouple,o OF
slick fellows, claiming to be deputy
U. s. marshals, rode up and said
they wanted to look through his
money for counterfeits, as consid-
able complaint was being made
about the utterance OF spurious
coin. So the old gentleman and bis
good wife produced all they had
a few hundred dollars-and the
robbers cody clamped on to it aud
rode away, remarkiug that if it all
proved 10 be genuine il would be
returned. Every effort is being
made to apprehend the smooth
Williams. This is forcible example
that it is safer and better to put
money in bank. The man who
keeps money about his promises i;
always inviting robbery or assas-
sination and oftimes both come tC
him. The business of the world
is being done now almost entirely
by checks, and that is the best ant
safest plan. -Cuero Star.

A Test of Character

An election is sometimes spoken Of
as a test of character. Certainly a
man whocan run the gauntlet.and come
out unscathed in reputation must have
a straight record. The unfairness of
the election test lies in the fact that it
is the bad qualities of the candidates
rather than both their bad and good
qualities that are held up. Such
kinds of tests are elevating neither to
the public nor to the ordinary political
life. The writer always liked the re-

nately sentenced to imprisonment by

est Importance in producing the per-

lack of care during cooling. Owing to
the high-water contents, and the large
amounts of heterogeneous substances and
sugar which bread contains, it is, es-

Is privately acknowledged by other manufac-

ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
