into the street, sobbing the biggest kline
of sobs and sprinkling the sidewalk with
her tears. She met a policeman and
cried: 'Oh. sir. my Katie has fallen
out of the window" The sympathetic
official did not stop to mingle his tears
with those Of the sufferer. but rushed in
and summoned an ambulance Then
the woman led him to the scene Of the
disaster. The mangied remains of Katie
were upon the sidwalk. Katie was a

Z T is not surprising that the war with
Spain has driven the editor of the
New York Evening World out of his
head. In the fierce. terrible competition
with the other yellow evening journals,
he struck the ace that make insane.
He did his best to bring on war, he
dwelt SO long and persistently on the
belief that there ought TO be war that
finally he convinced himself there was
war. So one evening last week he put
out an edition of the paper actually an
nouncing that war had been declared.
This was a little too much of a fake
for even the professional fakirs, so the
edition was suppressed as far as posi-
BILE and the editor was relieved from
duty. Such are some Of the horrors of
this ante-bellum period.
