NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

.'Talk about newspaper enterprise "
said the young man with soiled cuffs and
a bria1wood pipe. did I ever tell you
about the big thing we did on the start
Ter a year or two ago? No? Well, 1t
,, was a great drive and well worth the
telling.
"There hadn't been a, murder for three
Gays, and not one of the mysterious dts
appearances amounted to q hill OF beans
We'd. got to have q sensation, but what
was it going to be was more than any,
of us could guess.
'1'oin Skipper, our local man, was SO
mucl concerned about the matter that he
actually offered to commit suicide to help
the paper out; but old Cutter, one. OF the
desk editors, happened to think just IN
time that if Skipper suicided there would
be nobody left to write the thing up IN
Shippers ininitabIe style.
"Then somebody suggested that In
stead of killing himself Skipper kill some
other fellow; but that wouldn't be much
better, for Skipper would be locked up
bevond The reach of his scissors; so the
whole business was dropped. But some
thing must be done.
FINALLY our literary editor got an idea.
OF course, it was Of no use to him; COULD
MT use ideas in his department., you
know. SO he gave it to the city editor.
The idea was a novel one, as might have
been expected from a man who spends
he heft OF his time reviewing the title
page OF tictional literature. "a, 1t was TO
print q, few chapters of the Bible under a
scare head and with lots OF cross lines.
Well sir; we did it,. and there was
never probably such an excitement
among our readers. 1t was brand new
to nineteen-tw entieths Of them and the
way they bra gged about the STARTERS en-
terprise, w:ls caution, I can tell YOU
Why sir we sold more than. 3,OUU,OuO
COPIES Of that days issue. and, even then
we were wholly unable to meet the de-
nland.
mot so bad said the young man with
the moth-eaten mustache, but nothing
to the little stroke of enterprise we did
awhile ago on the Shark. just as you
had done, so we, too, had tried every
thing we could think Of for sensation,
and everybody was at his wits ends. No
body could suggest anything that was
worth trying.
1T began to look blue at the Shark Of
flee. 1t was the first time, you know
that we had ever been trapped for an
idea. We began to think we'd have to
suspend publication, for it was useless to
think of issuing a Shark with no sensa-
ton in it..
Luckily, however, our Office boy came
our suggestions from our office BOY, you
know. What do you suppose his idea
was? You'd never guess in Thousand
years 1t was simply this, that we IS
sue number OF the Shark Win not SO
much as single lie in 1T!
well. sir the thing was done; 1t was
wearisome work but it was done. The
paper was printed, bur it didn't take at
first; our readers couldn't understand 1t.
But after while a few OF them got on to
it and then the news spread. Well, SIR
to make a long story short, we sold H.
600, 900 copies of that paper. We tried it
again the next week, but the folks would
Mt buy They said once would do for
a sensation, d novelty, but for a regular
thing they preferred the Sharks regular
vintage"

pronounced the aeath to have been caused
by the formation of a clot OF blood in the
heart.
Although yesterday Mr.. Field was feel
ing SO i'll that he telegraphed to Kansas
City canceling an engagement which he
had there for tonight, he sat up until a
late hour chatting with Mr.. Yenowine OF
the Milwaukee Illustrated News. Mr..
Yenowine was to have accompanied Mr..
Field to Kansas City, and had come from
Milwaukee for that purpose. The deceased
was very cheerful, and the two sat up until
late hour discussing future plans.
Shortly before midnight, Mr.. Field had a
telegram sent to Kansas City saying that
he would be able to come later in the
week.
Upon going to bed Mr.. Field did not
com mplain, but during the night Fred Field
the 14-year-old son of the deceased heard
his father groaning in his sleep. The lad
thought nothing of this until near morn
ing the sleeping man groaned more heav-
lily than before and then became perfectly
still and quiet. Reused by an intuitive
dread that something was amiss Fred, or
Daisy" as the family called him, crept
out OF bed and awakened his mother and

years ago by slapping the face of s. s..

Is one of the principals. Prince Iturbide,
the pretended heir apparent to the throne
of Mexico, is the other.
The trouble arose over dispute with re-
gard TO the horsemanship of the two prin-
cipals. Neville, who is brilliant hunts
man, boasted that he could perform feat
in leaping that was beyond the capacity OF
the Mexican princeling. Iturbide took
issue and challenged Neville to test.
The two could not come to an agree
ment as to where the test should take
place. Finally, in anger, Iturbde, placing
glass OF water before his antagonist, told
him to come to an agreement or else to
take water. Still Neville hesitated, where
upon the Prince, growing bolder, called
him liar and horsethief"
Neville the next morning sent a chal-

Mr.. Field was member of the editorial
staff OF the Chicago Record, and for the
last twelve years has been connected with
either the Daily News or Record. Mr..
Field also contributed to various periodi-
Gals throughout the country. Mr. Yeno-
wine editor of the Milwaukee Illustrated
News, has been his lifelong friend. This
morning Mr.. Yenowine was so overcome
by the death that he could say very little.
The news that Eugene Field was dead
spread like wildfre through Buena Park,
where he was known and loved by all,
from gray-bearded old men to little tots of
youngsters. All morning sorrowing neigh
bors kept coming to the bereaved house
hold to offer sympathy and coincidence.
At g meeting of the Press Club, held at
l o'clock to-day, committee was ap-
pointed to frame resolutions of coincidence
and sorrow. Only about sixty-one mem
bers were present, owing to the suddenness
OF the call. 1t was decided to hold a gen.
eral meeting tomorrow. a pail of sad
ness hung over the meeting. The mem
bers were so overwhelmed with sorrow by
the unexpected loss OF their friend that the
suggestion OF Chairman McGovern that re-
marks and expressions OF sorrow should
be postponed until tomorrow was felt to
be the sentiment of all present.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. AT meet
ing of the New York Press Club held to-
night the following telegram was sent to
the widow of Eugene Field by Joseph
Howard Jr., the president:
The members of the New York Press
Club desire to express their heartfelt sor-
row at the sudden death Of Eugene Field,
and tender their coincidence to his afflicted
family. His work will be an enduring
monument to his fame"

TRIAL OF PASTOR SMITH,
Pleaded Not Guilty to the Charge
of Sending Obscene Postal
Cards.
An Intellectual Attempt Made to Quash
the Indictments Against
Him.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. A vigorous
but unavailing effort was made in the
United States court before Judge Nelson
to-day to have quashed the indictment
against Rev. Frank Hyatt Smith, pastor
of the North Avenue Congregational
Church, Cambridge. Mr.. Smith was pres
ent. Many women were present, and it
was probably out of consideration for their
feelings that certain of the postal-cards
quoted in the indictment as having been
sent by Mr.. Smith to members OF his con-
gregation and others were not read but
merely referred to.
When the court came in United States
District Attorney Sherman Hoar called
the case against Mr.. Smith, and Colonel
Hopkins said that he proposed to file a
general demurrer to the indictment. "1he
twenty-four counts in the indictment are
intended to cover the mailing of single
card said Colonel Hopkins, "but the
cards differ very considerably in the char
acter of the matter which is said to be
written upon them. Many of them are in
| quotation marks and are vague and uncer-
| tain as to the individuals to whom they re-
| late They are also wild and meaningless
statements which are certainly not indict-
able"
J
talk, said: MANY of these postal-cards
are threatening, many of them are indie
cent, many of them are obscene, all are
| seurrilous, and they are all intended to in
| iure the persons to whom they refer. The
| demurrer is overruled."
! Colonel Hopkins excepted, and his ex-
| ceptions were noted. The defendant was
| called upon to plead to the indictment.
and he responded, Not guilty" Colonel
| Hopkins then asked for q continuance OF
| the case for two weeks in order to give
| him time to prepare for trial.
| Mr.. Hoar disclaimed all desire for undue
| haste, but explained to the court the ext
gencies in regard to the assignments oi
cases for the jury sitting this term and
whose time of service will soon expire. AS
! it was necessary that Judge Putnam should
| be consulted, the date Of the trial was left
open to be announced by the court to-
morrow after consultation is had.

ROLLED INTO THE FIRE.
A Hunter Who Dreamed He Was Pursued
by RattIesnake Met Terrible
0enfh

OCALLA, FLA, Nov. 4.-John Arm
strong, wealthy fruit-grower living near
here, died Saturday night.
Armstrong and several friends were out
hunting on Friday. Armstrong had a
desperate battle with a rattlesnake, and
narrowly escaped being bitten The battle
with the snake made a deep impression on
him, and Saturday around the campfire he
talked OF nothing else. After the hunters
laid down around the fire Armstrong still
talked of the snake
About II O'Clock the sleepers were aroused
by screams that came from Armstrong
who had dreamed that the snake was after
him and had rolled into the fire. When
his companions awoke he was enveloped in
flames and he was shouting: Take the
snake away! Don't let it bite mer' The
unfortunate man was pulled out of the
fire, but too late to save his life. He had
been burned so badly that he soon died.

BRENNAN AND BONACUM,
The Iowa Editor Replies to the
Bishop Of Lincoln's
Circular.
Declares the Principle He Supports Is
Right Despite the Ecclesi.
astic's Ruling.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov. 4. - John
Brennan, editor OF the Northwestern
Catholic, was to-day seen in regard 70
Bishop Bonacum's circular. Mr.. Brennan
is indignant at the prelate's censure and
said: We'll, there is not any mystery
about my position relative to the 4. P. A.
or any other public question in America.
l am by birth an Irishman, thank God
by choice ana naturalization an Ameri-
can; in religion Catholic.
in politics lam a Republican, and this
position have taken at 3 sacrifice of pre-
cious personal interests. In my native
country l sacrificed ample opportunities
afforded for place and power that I might
defend my countrymen against injustice,
and in this country tried to do the best
could for them at the cost of incurring
their i'll will.
Now l look across the river into Ne
braska and l see cruel and unjustifable
conspiracy leveled against the rights and
liberties of my Catholic fellow-citizens,
and l resolved to do mans share in
their defense. 1t happens the victims of
this goddess persecution are Catholics, but
l would just as cheerfully defend them ii
they were Methodists or Mormons.
Il stand Tor the great principle OF
eouality before the law. In the sight oil
God the Bishop of Lincoln may find more
favor than l. He is the bishop OF the
| Catholic church. | am an American citi-
zen, and the principle for which l contend
is that the humblest citizen on the soil OF
Nebraska-CathoEc,P Protestant, Jew or in
fidel-is just as large man in the eye OF
the American constitution as Thomas
Bonacum, Bishop of Lincoln.
With this principle in view l appealed
