The herald., 1895-02-10

tor is on hand he has opened his mail
and is debating to his stenographers.
Or, perchance, he is closeted with the
Business Manager, or with the proprietor,
or with the City Editor, or with the News
Editor, or may be with all four of them.
! At some time in the afternoon these con-
ferences must take place between the
heads of departments.
Nv
The News Editor is surely on hand by
this time. The boys in the local room
call him ''the hyena" or some other pet
name, while the Managing Editor is
usually dubbed "the old man." The n.y.
ena is always keen-eyed, wiry man, full
of energy and proverbially tireless. He
never sleeps, or if he does it is only to
dream of new sources and new features of
news. If there is big scoop in the paper
tomorrow it will probably have been
planned and possibly written by the n.y.
ena. He is reading the Eastern exchanges
now. He watches the New York Herald,
World, and Sun, and the Chicago papers
with an eagle eye. In the way of big news
nothing escapes him. He watches the
mechanical department and has sugges-
tons to make and orders to give to almost
every man in the editorial department. He
carries pocketful of tips for the sporting
man, for the City Hall man, for the man

Now the local men begin to come in
from their afternoon assignments. The
commercial man is already at his desk
grinding out his full page for the morn
ing issue. The local men are now moving
their pencils or pens as rapidly over blank
paper as the myers can be manipulated
Out IN the composing room there Is great
activity, though no excitement. Their
work Is all preparatory. In the art de-
Paruiheht there Is perhaps the greatest
rush, Tor the artists naturally enough take
uhKlndiy to night work. Inc CITY Edl-
tor gave them his instructions early III
the afternoon. The News Editor ordered
the illustrations that he wanted, and the
sunday Editor has stacks OF work lying
on thelr desks. II they are fortunate
their days work is largely completed at
the end OF this hour.

The City Editor gives out his evenings
assignments. The local men who began
work at o'clock, and if there is an emer-
gency, those who began work at 10
O'Clock. must take evening assignments.
There are half-tone and high-toned balls
