FRANKFORT, KY, July 2e.-It de-
veloped to-day that the colored man,
Bob Haggard, who was lynched here
last week, charged with having assault
ed Miss Elkin, was innocent of the
crime. The story told Of how the deed
was done has been proved to be utter
ly false.
The work was done by few hot
headed men, who did not take time to
enquire whether Haggard was guilty
or not.

HACK WRITER'S.
The Amount of Money That They Can
Manage to Earn.

The Amount of Money That They Cam
Manage to Earn.
Under the title Of "Confessions of a Lit
erary Hack" there is printed in the Julv
Forum an article of considerable interest
to writer's, amateur and professional Pref
ty yarns, as the author says, are told about
the great sums of money that so-called
hacks earn-sums varying from $4,000
to $4,000 year-and he straightway makes
an effort to disprove these stories by re-
counting his own experience. There seems
much reason in his statements, supported
as they are by an account of his yearly
sales to the various well-known American
publishers.
Hacks" unless under the shadow of ex-
ceptionally good fortune, rarely make
5000 year. This writer's average is a
little less than 5000, and is attained only
by working every day in the year, and by
keeping his eyes constantly open for sub
jects. One or two years he has made more
than 5000. He has contributed to the
Harpers' publications, to the Century, to
Lippincott's, the Chautauqua, Leslie's Once
Week, Ladies' Home Journal, Cosmopol-
itan. North American Review, Forum
Scribner's, Christian Union, Youths Com
panion, McClure's syndicate, American
Press Association and the New York Sun
Herald and Tribune. Some of the contri-
buttons have been fiction and some poems
The least amount received for any one
article during given year was SIS for
poem, while the greatest amount was $50
for story. By the months respectively
beginning with January, during the same
year, he earned $432, $471, 1881, $527, S4S7
$500, $40. $295, $354, $3.50, $475 and $l4O--a
total of $500.
The payment received is ten dollars
thousand words from weekly, and double
that price from monthly publications. This
Is the price paid by the Harpers. and, ac-
cording to this writer, since they are the
greatest buyers, they practically establish
the rate of payment by their competitors
Some publishers, however have no fixed
rate of payment, either for articles or fic-
ton. A few publishers pay when the man.
uscript is accepted, while others defer pay
ment until publication.
