NeysDapcr Reputation,


Boston Herald: In the long run does it pay
readers: Perhaps it may, from a purely COM
mere al roint CT view, when there Is little
danger Of the readers discovering that what
has heen told them is not so. But take, Tor
instance so open a matter as theatrical
Performance. A newspaper may say that a
distinctly ''bum show Is fine entertain
rlent, or that a woman whose voice suggests
the saw-fler's monotone Is the sweetest OF
singers, and either declaration may be passed
over with the thought that there's no account
Ing for tastes, and without the honesty OF
tho writer's opinions being questioned. But
when he tells things which deal with matters
o. fact, and which are positively untrue, Is
he net hurting his own paper and doing q
real injury to the cause OF journalism? When.
for instance he says the theater was full to
overfic wing when it was not more than half
full, does he not shake the faith OF those
readers who were present in the infallihiity
OF his paper? Every one of It's readers who
was present at the performance in question
sees that the writer is only giving the theater
a ''s.raight puff" and that he Is telling a
falsehood. Upon the principle Of false in one
false in ALL how the gentlest reader there
after believe the paper when II talks about
politics, law, love social advancement? To
lie when one is sure to be found out, and so
to be believed even though they do speak
the truth. betokers a. low order OF intellect.
When the lar Is newspaper writer unfor-
tunately, he is able, Notwithstanding his in
fericrity to do a great injury to the press,
inasmuch as he is likely to bring the entire
press into contempt.

: GOLD AND THE GRAVE.

1t Is Rare That Undertakers Fai1 in
Business. + -.
Chicago Times Herald: Undertakers
rarely fail in business. When a West
Lake street concern went to the wall
| few days ago officials of the county
| court were smitten with establishment.
1t was the first elnbalmer they had been
called upon to emDalm for a number of
| years.
It is all a matter of collections. The
undertaken is the most curiously mis-
named man that ever engaged in bust
ness. Spite of his grim occupa ton there
IS the perfection of satire in the appel
lation. He does not undertake anything,
IN the true meaning Of the word. He
does not take on himself" nor clay him
self under obligation" nor pledge him
self" OF all men in trade he assumes no
him cannot well avoid payment. That in
stinctive delicacy we all confess is APP
pealed to in the very nature of the case
It would be a species of dishoro to the
dead-of disloyalty to that being we
somehow chiefly consider after it ceases
to view our actions-if we failed to pay
the funeral bills.
And we pay them royalty, unquestion-
tngly. We willingly adj something be-
cause the 1nisnamei Tndertaker-we for
get his Observation-Disclosures s in some
detail the regard we !eel, the :orrow that
demands an utterance we know not how
to yield. We do not question items in
the bill, nor haggle over extras. We,
wanted it done right; and it was done
right and-here's your money.
Furthermore, tie ''undertaker'' is man
OF resources. Once tntrusted with the
case. he need not 60 forward until as
sured Of payment. He may select the mo-
ment most advantageous to him and die
tate conditions. One of the craft, doubt
full of recomrense, locked the subject of
his ceremonies in his basement about two
years ago. and it remained there until
this present springtime. when claims were
satisfied and the funeral was sem for
ward in all solemnity.
He is sure of business. Every period
of existence, every condition of life must
make contributions to him. None nav
with certainty escape. For each must
take his chamber in the silent halls of
DEATH and the undivorcible Reaper Is
this silent and somber man Of shrouds
Besides, the police are his allies-or the
ccroner's mon, If he happen to belong to
the county factien. And so, whatever
the season or the, condition of trade
whether war watt our ships to the Philip
pines or honorable peace possesses all our
harbors, the hand Of the so-called under
taker shall have much employment.
No wonder the county court officials
We're amazed at the West Lake street
failure.

Out of eleven hotels in the Cream City

LAWTON'S SANITARY REPORT.
The following dispatch from Cen
eral Lawton has been received at the
war department Septembre 9th:
Santiago de Cuba
'Adjutant General, Washington:
Total sick 1903, total fever 773, new
cases 120, returned to duty 10;
deaths 2. LAYTON"
General Lawton's report, made to
the war department tonight, indicates
no material change in the health con-
ditions of the American troops at San
tiago Three deaths occurred yester-
day and LIPS men are reported sick.
Major William Devine, brigade sur
geon of volunteers, has been honora-

NEWS FROM PORTO RICO.
San Juan, Porto Rico September 2s-
Word has reached here that a Porto
Rican residing at Aguadilla, near May
agueZ, asked protection of both the
American and Spanish troops against
depredauOns by outlaws, which il was
predicted would occur.
In response to his request the Amer
lean authorities sent to his residence
two soldiers of Kentucky regiment,
who arrived there Sunday evening af
ter dark.
The resident had not notified the Span
iards that he had requested American
protection and some Spanish soldiers
who had been sent to guard his house,
arrived after the Americans and mis-
took them for outlaws. In the confus
ion resulting the Spaniards fired, un-
fortunately killing one Of the Ameri-
cans. The name of the dead soldier
has not yet been ascertained. The in
cident is greatly regretted by the Span
iardS
An informal meeting Of the America
evacuation commission was held this
morning, but nothing of interest or
Importance was done. The Spaniards
are Offering at public auction large
quantities of army ratiOns and other
government property which cannot be
taken home with them. 1t may be ex-
pected that the evacuation of the is
land will be completed very shortly.
Twenty-Five per cent of the Ameri-
can troops in the island are on the sick
list and it is impossible for them to
recuperate here. The sick soldiers, it
is said. could be sent home with mu-
tual advantage.

New Jersey Democratic convention.
Trenton, N. j., September 28.-The
democratic state convention today
nominated for governor of New Jersey
Alvin w. Crane, the prosecutor of Es-
sex county, and adopted platform
which, in a measure, supports the
democratic national platform. The
convention, however, defeated a propo-
sition to specifically endorse the plat
form adopted by the Chicago conven-
ton of 1896. The silver men accept
ed the situation gracefully.
The platform contains the following:
I'VE denounce the gross, open, Grim
inal incompetency of those placed and
defiantly kept in charge Of the affairs
Of the war department Of the present
administration of the government OF
the United States, resulting in the
needless loss Of thousands Of American
soldiers lives, and the infiiction OF
horrible suffering and tortures upon
thousands of the brave defenders OF
the country's honor; and we charge
the present administration OF the gov
e-7ment of the United States with be
l. : solely responsible for the horrible
re suits of incompetency OF government
officials. continued after the appalling
results were repeatedly brought to the
attention of the president Of the Unit
