riences during our own civil war, ''is
the outgrowth Of a very modern civili-
cation, though Xenophen and Julius
Caesar were early examples of their pro-
fession. They, however, told the story
of their own deeds, and the nineteenth
century Bohemians narrate the acts of
others They are the out
growth of the great and constantly aug
menting power of the press and were
first fully developed and their influence
felt during the Crimean contest There
were war correspondents before that
day, in the Napoleonic struggle for uni
versal domination and in our own little
affair, as it now appears, with Mexico,
but until the time mentioned war CORE
spondence had not become a regular and
recognized department of military civic
life
One of the most successful of the
pioneers among war correspondents was
William Howard Russell, who came to
be known as Bull Rum Russell dur
ing the civil war in this country Like
SO many other men who have distin-
guished themselves in journalism, DR.
Russell-fOr he is a doctor Of something
now, though of what this writer wots
nOt-did not set out to be a newspaper
man, but fell into the business quite in
cidentally,i il not accidentally. His work
has all been done fer the London Times,
and he began to write for that solid old
sheet while he was yet in college. When
the repeal agitation of O'Connell began
Russell was first regularly engaged by
The Times, and when the Irish patriot
was put on trial Russell was sent to re-
port the case. He was then but %, but
he did his work to the perfect satisfac-
ton of his employers. Probably the
larger portion Of my readers know little
or nothing Of O'Conneu and his trial.
and no wonder, for the trial was nearly
so years ago. Young Russell at that
time was reading law, and in 1850 he
was called to the bar. For few years
after that event in his life he devoted
himself to such minor matters of practice
as fall to the lot of young barristers in
England Mr.. Delane was editor of
The Times then, and he told young Rus
sell one day in 1854 that a pleasant ex-
cursiOn had been arranged for him. He
was to accompany the guard to Malta.
The English government had decided to
make a display of supporting Turkey
against Russia, but it was hardly dream
ed by any one then that the Crimean
war, with its horrors, was to follow the
demonstration to report which Mr.. Rus
sell was to take an agreeable little eek
cursion. - But so it was, and so began
the real life work of one who, should
| say, may properly be spoken of as the
father OF modern war correspondence,
for, although Russell began his work
before the days of the wire, before war

THE DAZZLER PLEASES.
A Large Audience at the Grand Opera
House Last Night.

Large Audience at the Grand Opera
House Last Night.
1t was the No. 2 "Dazzler" company
that played a. the Grand last night.
The house was half full on the first
floor, but the balcony and the gallery
were crowded
'sThe Dazzler' as interpreted" by this
company is not more than half good, but
there were many meritorious things
about it from a farce comedy standpoint
1t could hardly be expected that any
one could ever equal Joseph OFT as
Ezekiel Pipes, but Raymond Finlay
does it pretty we'll and makes up to look
a great deal like OFT. Otis expression
did not change through the entire piece
and his eyes were never fully open He
wore the same sleepy, stole look even in
his most fantastic dances. A good many
of Finlay's specialties last night were
good. OFT is now starring in THE Star
Gazers."
Shorty Healy as AIulligan couldn't
help being funny. He is only little
more than three feet high and about as
broad. He was for several years a circus
acrobat and was for two years with Fore
paugh.
The musical specialties of Brown the
colored man who whistled and played
the knocking bird on the glass plate
over steel engraving with his thumb
nail were very good. Brown lives in
Omaha and was picked up by the
"Dazzler'' company year ago.
Lottie Burke as Little Starlight sang
pretty well.
There were a great many jokes and
songs last night that the public is more
than familiar with but there was one old
bit of speciality work that was well done,
aAd that was the duet between Pipes aud
Starlight, "The Same Thing Over Again. "
The "Dazzler" company No. 2 is going

to WOrrY along.

self was in its infancy indeed, he show
ed nearly all the qualities that have been
developed by the famous correspondents
of later wars. Since the Crimean war
Russell has tried his hand at war report
ing more than once and without suffer

his younger competitors. In 1868 he
represented The Times in America. He
went through the Franco-Prussian war
in 1901, and his journalistic achieve

hearty. though his nair and close cut

at is not just to the officers or to the
public that the prosecuting officers
should be compelled to depend for their
compensation upon the number of prose-
cutions commenced. No man is big
enough or strong enough to withstand
the insidious influence of such a pro-
vision; and the mind of prosecuting at
torney, of all men, when he comes to
pass upon the question of whether cit
izer is to be deprived of his liberty,
ought to be completely judicial and alb
solutely balanced. He should not be in
fuenced either consciously or uncon-
sciously by the consideration that if the
prosecution is not commenced he will get
nothing, and if it is, he will. An end
should be put to that sort of judicial
bribery"

REPORTERS OF WARS
JAMES CREELMAN AND His WORK AS
A CORRESPONDENT IN THE ORIENT.

War Correspondence Now a Regular
Branch of JournaIism-"Bun Run" Rus
sell and His Work-Junius Henri Browne
and Other American War Correspondents
To be really successful war CORE
spondent is to be really great, and James
Creelman, the American newspaper
man who has attracted general atten-
ton by his work reporting the war be-
tween China and Japan, has already
proved his right to be considered cor
respondent of energy and push. To those
no knew him aforetime the knowledge
ri his enterprise and power to drive
does not come as a new thing. for he
has long been understood to be of more
than ordinary ability and alertness.

breaking of the civil contest here that
war correspondence was well organized
or generally recognized as a branch of
newspaper service. Then. as Mr..
Browne, already mentioned in this arti-
Gle, puts it, war correspondence on this
side of the Atlantic became s'as much
an avocation as practicing law or selling
dry goods, - and very we'll known did
the best and brightest of the correspond
ents become to the readers of the jour
nails of that time. Yet to most recent
readers these same names will look up
from the printed page of this article into
eyes that have never seen them before
Some of these old time correspondents
were Richard B. Colburn of the New
York World, William E. Davis of the
Cincinnati Gazette, ". D. Bickham of
the Cincinnati Commercial, L. L.
Crounse of the New Y ork Times, Thomas
W. Knox of the New York Herald, Al
bert D. Richardson of the New York
Tribune and Junius Henri Browne him
self, also of The Tribune. Yes, and
there was Henry M. Stanley, too, who
has been before the public most of
the time ever since the close of the
war-that is, until he stopped exploring
Africa and settled down to married life
few years ago. Since then we have
heard very little of him.
What of the others? Well, the young
folks will tell you that Colonel W. Knox
is known to them as a writer of books
that boys like nightly to read. l saw
Mr.. Browne but yesterday looking very
much as he does in the portrait accom-
panying this article, save that his beard
is now shaved off and his mustache and
hair are white. Sometimes he talks of
his war experiences to those he knows
and likes, and it is indeed an interesting
thing to hear him relate the story of his
own and Richardson's capture by the
COnfederates when the two correspond
ents risked the running of the batteries
at Vicksburg for the sake of ''the expe-
rience " Richardson was tragically
called away from this earthly stage years
ago. OF the others know little or moth
ing
1t may be said of these correspondents
and of their fellows whose names can
not recall that their work practically
revOlutionized journalism. 1t is true
that the war and the public thirst for
news concerning it spurred the CORE
spondence on, but that should not de-
tract from their credit in the matter.
Before the great contest the special tele-
gram was a poor and meager thing com
pared with what it speedily became aft
er the firing of the first gun on Sumter
The headlines that are so great a feature
Of modern American newspapers had
not much vogue until the war made it
necessary for the editors to dress their
news in such garb that he who ran might
read. The general spirit of hustle and
the desire to tbeat the other fellow"
did not begin to infuse the reporters and
correspondents as it does now until the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-01-19

war called it into being Before that
period of fire and blood the newspaper
was valued most for its opinions Then
it began to be valued most for its news,
and this has held good ever since You
like to read a journal with which you
can agree, but you must read one which
contains the news.
So I say that the modern newspaper
had its birth during the civil war, and
[ believe that it was quite as much the
ability Of the men who reported the bat
ties and maneuvers of that war that
brought about the revolution as the cir
cumstances which furnished their oppor-
tunity.
Every war since 1865 has brought
with it its crop of correspondents.
Among the newer men are Archibald
Forbes and the American McGahan, and
Millet, the artist correspondent, and
Frederick Villiers, the war artist.
Forbes still f1ourisheth and so do Viii
Tiers and Millet. and may they long con-
tinue to flourish. McGahan, whose serv-
ices in behalf of the Bulgarians have
made him immortal, died, poor fellow,
before he even knew how great a fame
he had made for himself. His Russian
wife now lives in New York, a hard
working, refined and generally respected
newspaper woman.
Mention of Millet reminds me that
those who picture battles are quite as
deserving Of mention as those who re-
port them, but my space" is about used
up now, and only scant mention may be
accorded the artists. It was as a war
artist that Thomas Mast, afterward to
be the pioneer of American caricatur-
lists, did his first notable work. A r.
Wand was another American war artist,
and A. Weiser, A. Simplon and G. Par
sons also signalized themselves by their
sketches of battles fought between the
armies of the north and south. Still
more names could be mentioned if this
were anything like an adequate review
of the subject. We're Stchegin, the Won
derful Russian artist, got much of his
early training, too, by the sketching of
battles.
And yet, though we must all recog-
nize the fact that journalism and illus
trative art have both been greatly bene-
flied by wars, my readers will join with
me, am sure. in the hope that the pro-
fessions of war correspondent and war
artist may soon vanish from the face of
| the earth, for we are all looking for the
speedy coming of that age when there
shall be mo more wars -
