Champion Linotype Operator.
The portrait presented below is OF
George w. Green, of Boston, who is
now champion typesetting machine op,
orator of the world. In contest held
in Chicago recently he composed TO-
700 ems net of solid nonpareil in seven
hours. Eugene w. Taylor, of Denver,

string of 64,O27. Immediately after
the result of the contest had been an
ncunced to the world by telegraph, Lee
Riley, of Boston, issued a challenge to
the winner.
To more readily understand the re-
markable work Of the winner, it may
be said that 70,70O ems of nonpareil is
the equivalent of nearly twelve col
umns of a seven-column size paper, or
over a page and a half. Green's net
average was 1O,1O0 an hour, and Tay-
lor's 9,146.
Denver printers backed Taylor for

An Incident In the Career OF Lord VOL

To illustrate some of the disagreeabls

the Soudan. Mr.. Nourse tells the follow
ing anecdote Of the postal service.
which also we'll shows how democratic
was Lord Wolseley. the commandant,
says the Springfield Republican.
Nourse went into the postofice at Korti
to look for some letters. The postmas-
ter was q native and not very much at
handwriting, and said that there was
nothing for him after a superficial,
glance at . big pile Of papers and let
tiers. N0urse asked to see the pile of let
tiers and while he was looking them over
a man with nothing to designate his
rank came into the office in company
with another. He took in the situation
at glance and said: Lets clean this
thing out" Whereupon they jumped
over the counter and bundled the post
master out, neck and heels. Then they
began the examination Of the Office and
found it congested with mail for the
army. They searched every nook and
Granny and threw the letters for one
regiment into one corner. those for an
other into another. with all the
newspapers in the center Of the floor.
Then they went through each pile and
separated it into companies. and before
night every letter was in camp and dis
tributed, and the next day the papers
were out. Nourse at the time did not
know who his companion in the good
deed was. He asked him his name and
his answer was: They call me Charley"
Some time afterward Nourse was going
to see the commandant and, sitting near
his tent, saw his companion at the post
Office.
Hello, Charley" he said. I'm look
ing for the commandant; where'll find
him."
well" said Charley" 'you won't
have to look very far. I'm the COM
mandant. Come inside and have bi.
to eat and drink"
It was Lord Wolseley, and man
worthy of the title.

more than sixty-five years since Mrs.
Kelley, then Miss Coward, made her
first appearance in London at the Ly-
ceum, at that time known as the En-
