A METROPOLITAN CITY EDITOR


derfu1 Work Of "Journaliam"-Ba
King Practically Demonstrated the
Buny Life About which He Talked.
As a practical illustration of the busy
life he talked about In his lecture on
Journalism" at the Brownson Library
last night. City Editor James J. King, Of
the Philadelphia Press. hurried from the
rostrum at the conclusion OF the address
aud WAS rushed of In a cab TO the p, w.
q B station, where be took the early
night train for Philadelphia, arriving In
time to take charge OF his department Ia
the work Of getting out to- days paper.
Mr. Kings subject was similar TO that
ufed by him IN arecsnt lecture before the
Pen and Pencil Club and was greatly
enjoyed by khis large audience of inter
ested hearers. For a newspaper enter
prise OF to day, he said, there was no
rest.
For more than 6fty years the euter
door Of one Of the offices OF
the great American newspapers
has never even been closed All the
world, said Mr.. King, Is the province OF
the contemporary Americat newspaper
and il records not only the great
achievements and the frightfnl disasters
OF the universe, but IL makes note even
OF the tribes Of humanitys pleasant
honrs, the keen witticlsm and the passing
Jest. To write so marvellous, and so all
embracing history, broad and com
plete organization Is necessary.
These stats or news gathering orgRni-
cations are known TO the world as the
Associated Press and the United Press
each representing union Of newspapers
which contribute great Gums Of money
yearly for the collection and dissemna-
ton OF the news Of the world But
| skilled and industrious and wide spread
| though the representatives Of the gen
eral press agencies be, few even OF the
minor newspapers depend wholly upon
them for service Almost all maintain
some special correspondents. whose duty
II Is TO ferve them with intelligence
adapted TO their special requirements
One may imagine from all this how costly
an undertaking the publication OF great
newspapers Is nowadays
Mr. King cited the profits Of several
leading newspapers He said that the
Chicago Tribune averaged for several
years profit Of $3.50 600 year, and the
annual profits Of .the New York Herald
and the New York World exceeded 0
half million Of dollars in each case
Several important editors are each paid
from ten TO fifteen thousand dollars Q
year and considerable number receive
more that $4,000 year, Reporters who
look after he city news are paid from
$40 up to $50 week. and In New York,
where the reporters are, as rule, paid
for so much Of their work as gets into
the papers, instead Of by the week, they
frequently earn from 81. 600 to s. 600
year.
Speaking Of the development OF thl
newspaper along all the lines Of human
interest and endsavor MIR. King lais
special emphasis on the fact that within
the last ten years newspapers have takel
great number OF women into thei
service as writers, artists and edit DTS
Women who are Industrious we'll quail
fed and we'll adapted to the requiI ement
Of journalism earn from $50 to $50

Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Charlton Edholm, the social
purity evangelist, OF Chicago. addressed
an interested meeting at Hanover Church

the Industrial Home for Girls. work to
which Mrs. Lafayette Marks Ia devoting
much of her time
Mrs. Marks presided at the meeting.

Mrs. Edholm's address was a thrilling
one She is pleasant speaker and her
face Is that of q good woman. She told
how she came to engage in the work She
was q newspaper woman and q minister
whose evangelical work she was report.
ing suggested that her duty as q Chris
tisn woman was In this direction. After
= serious struggle with herself, she
decided to devote her life to the work OF
rescue
She said her experience had taught her
that girls fall into sin very early, some at
the age Of IL and IA years. In the houses
Of III repute she visited in this city yes
terday, she saw girls of not more than
10 years. When asked their age they
said they were older. so as to avoid being
taken out Of the house by law
Mrs. Edholm severely criticized Chris
tian people who refuse TO visit these
houses to rescue fallen women. Many Of
them are abandoned because Christian
people abandon them to their fate
She said she had nearly always
been kindly received by the girls. and
that many Of them would gladly escape
from life of sin II they were helped by
kindness and sympathy.
During her address Mrs. Edholme sal ]
she had sesn the pantomime ben Hurr"
and WAS panied to see the beauti
full performance marred by bal
lot dancing. She closedI her talk
by denunciation of the saloon, and an
appeal to the men TO refuse to vote for
its continuance She says that no greater
work can be done for social purity than
to abolish the saloon.

Jackson VS. Thorne. The case of the
complainant in this case was continued,
this morning and concluded about 3

tended to show that Jackson and his wife
had not lived together for about four
years, he living in Augusta and she in
Gardiner and that Thorne is the father of
the child The baby was born, May % OF
this year, and when the child was be-
gotten Jackson and the complainant were

The law presumes child to be legiti-

husband to the wife, proved beyond rea-

husband is competent witness for this
purpose.

introduced testimony tending to support
this proposition of non-acccss, and also
