NEWSPAPER WRITER'S.

Every considerable newspaper nowadays
has correspondent every town and locality in
its bailiwick. Whether as a volunteer con-
tributor, country correspondent or staff re-
porter the qualifications to be cultivated are
the same, viz:
A thorough understanding Of the matter
written about. One should always bear in
mind that the newspaper is read by scores Of
thousands of people, who will quickly detect
ignorance or stupidity on the part of writer
Not line that is weak or liable to be
sneered at by intelligent people should ever be
offered to a newspaper or printed by it. Down
to the briefest item everything should be in
telligent and masterful.
A careful regard for exaetness in relation of
facts. 1t is not wise to trust to ones memory
in collecting facts. Notes should always be
taken, and in interviews the exact language
used to be reported.
OF course a knowledge of stenography is
great help to reporter, but with or without
it too much care cannot be given to the Sc
curiug Of perfect accuracy in everything that
is written.
Grammatical aud well-coustructed language
is the next essential. This may be acquired
by the reading Of the best models Of Engl ish
prose and by carefully reading over ones work
and laboriously perfecting it. This is espec-
tally important atthe beginning Of jouranal-
istic career; later on it will come natural to
write well.
Legible manuscript and correct orthography
This So important is security against typo.
graphical errors.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY

The country under democratic policy is at
the mercy of the syndicate of London and
New York bankers who Aoated the last dem
ocratic loan and made several millions Of
dollars at the expense Of the American
people. If the prices of American cereal
and food products can be kept down low
enough to undersell the cheap market Of the
world, another financial collapse through the
drainage Of gold to Europe may be averted
1.-THE American farmer will only be obliging
enough to take less for his wheat, corn, cattle,
hogs, wool and other products, and if the
Am erican manufacturer will kindly consent
to manufacture less goods, and if the Ameri-
can workman will considerably give up some
Of their jobs, we may be able to export
enough OF our products to pay for our heavy
imports and thus enable the Rothchild.Bel-
mont syndicate of capitalists to save the
democratic administration from again pre-
cipitating this country into financial distress.
With all the elements OF wealth Nand pros
perity in our midst, and abundantly able to
take care Of ourselves, we are now made the
wards Of the most merciless policy that has
ever throttled American industry and thrift
Under this policy we rob workmen Of employ
ment they'ought to have and ourselves oi
money We ought to keep in this country

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Col. R. w. Mitchell, of Portland, who has
returned from a trip through the Cascade
mountains, reports an immence tract Of forest

or four east and west. Just west Of Sweet
Home he found party Of campers aboutstart.
ing of, leaving bright FIRE behind them in
the heavy timber. He stopped the hindmost
man and persuaded him to turn back and put
out the fire. 1t should be borne in mind that
there are very strigent laws against careless
ness or design in setting out fires in this state.
The smoke now hanging over the valley doubt
less comes from fires in the Cascade noun
tains, originating from the carelessness largely
OF campers. Not one fire in a thousand is
started maliciously in forests, but the damage
and loss amounts to the same. Great care
should be taken by campers and tourists in the
mountains.

woRLDLY.MINDED SALEM.

Editor Cornwall Of the Dayton Herald
thus writes Of our churches:
The good christian people Of Salem are
somewhat "tony" in their evening hour Of
worship. The time fixed, by majority Of the
churches, for evening services to begin, is s
o'clock. This is the fashionable hour for
social parties and other entertainments to
begin. Is it possible that the ministers aud
leading church members Of the Capital City
are falling into the rut followed by worldly
minded people, and aping their ways and
manners2 1t may not detract from the wor-
ship or the sermon, but how about the
benefit to man or woman who works every
week day, do, or can they when going to
church tired receive the benefits spiritually,
as the minister would wish by the lessons
taught by him1 1t is unnecessary to say that
it may bes:1ifficult for such persons to keep
awake, and upon arriving home at late hour
they may retire without family worship.
There is one exception to the late evening
services, that Of the chapel in East Salem.
This is Congregational church lately or
ganized and ministered to by the pioneer
Congregational minister, Rev. P. S. Knight.
He by his plain earnest manner Of presenting
the truths of the gospel, although meeting
with discouragements and trials, which, by
his firm, and determined persistency he
overcomes, is building up a congregation
which will soon compare favorably with any
Salem church.

THE SAME MISS BOwEs.
One OF the Romances of the Crawford is
Recalled.

Miss Charlotte Crane the young lady
who played Miss Preston in Alabama
last night is no other than Miss Bowes
who figured in a romance here about
a year ago. AT that time she ran away
with the Black Crook company and her
people came down here on special
train to get her.
Miss Bowes was seen al the opera
house by an Eagle reporter last evening
Immediately after the afternoon per-
Torrance. through the kindness OF Mr..
cambridge, the manager OF the Ala
bama company. The little lady receiv-
ed the reporter very graciously but was
very timid in talking for publica ton.
Miss BoweS was besieged by report
erS at Kansas City and other points
for interviews, but she positively de-
clined to make any statement at any
time. explaining to the reporter by
shaking her pretty head in a decisive
way.
Miss Bowes goes under the stage
name of Charlotte Crane. and is play
ing the part formerly represented by
Miss Ethel Irving, who left the Alaba-
ma company for Europe a week ago
It would be almost impossible for
one to believe who saw Miss Bowes
act the role OF Carey Preston, the pret-
~ unsophiSticated southern girl here
this week, that she had never acted
the part until last Monday night This
however is the case Ever since her
ambitious step two years ago 10 go

10 enter the histrionic field, and her

MESIC AND DRAMA
THE GLOBE TROTTER.

The story Of the play is that Miss
Birthstone, an American heireSs, whose
home is in Ohio has been engaged, I'M
der a parental arrangement, TO marry
Lord Carlingford, and he is enroute
from England to claim his bride. The
girl is in love with Mr.. Hadley, an
American, but she is in charge of her
uncle and guardian, Harbottle Brim-
stone, who is determined to carry out
the plan OF foreign titled alliance.
While Miss birthstone is worrying
over her dilema Paul Clifford, the Globe
Trotter. appears upon the scene. He
IS attempting to go around the world
on what he can earn, and return with
surplus of $4,000, without borrowing,
begging or stealing. He has nearly ac-
complished his journey but is minus the
81 600 He enters into a conspiracy
with Miss Birthstone TO personate the
English lord in such a diSagreeable
manner as to disgust her guardian and
break up the foreign match. He sue
ceeds and receives from Miss Birthstone
81 GOO as compensation Hiss success
Is largely due TO the assistance Of odd
Hoss.' a tramp. The knight of the
road clevery represents the mother OF
the lord, who accompanies him TO
America. Multifarious complications
easue during the sojourn of the two
pretenders at the home Of Mr.. Brfn-
stone. which are greatly increased by
the arrival of the real lord. and also by
the fact that the tramp comes on as an
English dude in the last act and is mis-
taken for the lord. The Globe Trotter
gets 81 900 from Birthstone for his SER
vices as lawyer. and in other ways &C
STIMULATES enough to bring his total UP
10 81. 500 To get the other $500 he sells
himself at auction and is bid off by Miss
Weary. a young lady visitor with whom
he has fallen in love.

one Of the larger cities, but before the
contract could be completed she joined
the company with which she is now
playing.
Miss Bowes speaks with hesitancy
and abashment regarding her rash ep-
isode of two years ago, which she says
was the result of a wilfull spirit and
an impetuous desire to become an ac-
tress. AT the time she did not know
the nature of the company or part that
she was to take and when she did
learn it, she was glad TO leave for
home, TO bide her time when she could
enter the proper sphere, that with
which natures gifts have endowed her
and in which she will in time shine as,
a talented and industrious member.
Her part is closely allied with that o.
the CELEBRATED actor, Frank Bangs, who
is a veteran on the American stage.
and one of the hardest and most con-
scientions workers in the profession.
Hence her part is a doubly difficult
and delicate one to carry out, but she
does it with very evident success.

BET On THE SHELL GAME
And of Course HowIed Like Fury Over His
Losses,

Strange as 1t may seem. a certain
business man on West Douglas avenue.
was taken in on the shell game at the
fair grounds Friday. The man who
manipulated the shell presented the
chance of winning so adroitly that the
business man aforesaid placed his hand
on the shell and said: '.I'll hold this
thing down with one hand while 1 will
get out some stuff with the other" He
showed up SIS. with the air OF a man
who had a dead cinch on the game.
When he lifted the shell, however, he
found nothing under IL except wind.
Then the business mans eyes dilated
like saucers, and as he saw his sl5 dis
appear he raised a howl like a coyote
over the grave of a dead Indian He
declared that he had been robbed, but
he got no sympathy from any source.
This added 10 his evaporation, and ne
tore up the ground like a mad ounalo
bull and IL Is asserted that he gnarled
fence posts TO give vent 70 his pent up
feelings. Another case or verdency
victimized-although there are ten pa
pers published in Wichita.
