SOME BosrON CULTURE.
Queer Practices of some of the Hubs
Big Newspapers.

VIM. e. Curtis In the Chicago Record.
1t win be conceded without argument
that the editors of Boston, having such
superior advantages for culture and the
worship of truth, would set an example
of accuracy, conservatism and literary
style that the rest OF the world would
be glad to follow, but to my surprise |
find the most sedate newspapers of this
surpass an color and startling headlines
the yellowest OF the yellow journals Of
New York and Chicago. They use larger
type than any other papers in the coun-
try. larger than you see In the fake" war
extras sold In the streets of New York,
and the front page of each of them is a
shriekiug example of the superlative de-
gree. The Other morning by actual count
/ found there were exactly 26S words upon
the first page Of the Herald beside a coll
umn of condensed news items and the
usal weather report, and the smallest type
used was three-line plea, each letter be-
ing half an inch long. Another habit
the Boston papers have which seems very
reprehensible Is the abbreViatiOn of The
titles of public men. / am informed that
the Hon. William Everett Barrett, whilom
presiding officer of the general court OF
the commonwealth, present representative
in Congress, and future senator and per-
haps President Of the United States, Is re-
SpOnSiDie IOf ttllS vulgar NiOldiioD OF HleF-
airy proprieties and irreverent disregard
for the dignity of eminent men whose
names appear in print. Mr.. Barrett is
the editor Of the 'Tiser, the organ and
exponent of thd upper cult who worship
tho sacred Goldfish and eat their beans
from crooks. He is the idol of the blue
stocking element and Of the population.
who have their shoes without heels, cut
their hair short and wear what dealers
in underclothing call 'union suits" The
school teachers Of the state point him out
to their pupils as a type OF the highest
and purest manhood. and the faculty of
Harvard College admires ham as an
ample of what that ancient and honored
institution is able to produce, and yet in
a newspaper which Mr.. Barrett edits the
following sample OF literary style Is per-
mtted to appear:
"Sec Long announced to-day by author
ity OF Pres Mckinley that Ad Sampson
and Com Schley would both be promoted

service"
In the same paper / find the following:
"Areh-Bish Ireland, ex M Gen Wilson.
Card Gibbons Sen HOar, FIR Mathew, Sec

Mr. Barrett did not even observe the.
simple rule of punctuation that requires
a period after an abbreviation. And while

and Jordan proposed that they go up to
third floor room in the old telephone
building and settle their troubles with
out interference This room is rented by
Jordan and used by the Christopher Co
lumbUs Club, which is under his manage
ment. Hardin agreed. When they entered
the place, according TO his story he found
two of Jordan's friends-Win Crawford
and VIII Owens there. Jordan. he says
locked the door behind them and then
drawing a knife declared his intention Of
killing Hardin. Hardin, however sot
possession of the knife and turned it upon
its owner, wounding him as already
described.
After the fight Hardin gave up
to the police and wac later al

Harbin's story is disputed Jordan's
friends saying that it was he who drew the

country should satisfy our people and pre-
vent them from extending their domains
to distant lands, possessions difficult to
control and impossible to defend. l re-
gret to notice a disposition in Congress to
reach out for outside territory. This am
bition for the occupatio of territory has
been the ruin of Greece, Rome and the
great nations of Asia in ancient times, and
of Spain, Austria and Italy in modern
times. And now the United States Is in
more danger from similar causes than all
others combined. The greed for territory
and the attempt 10 rule it lost Great
Britain the great body of what is now the
United States of America. If We can be
content with our vast continental posses
sions, we can dispense with the islands of
