DANA AS AN EDITOR.
He Was Very Punctilious Is to Typo
graphical Details.

graphical Details.
In all matters of detail, in literary
manner, in the use of words, in gram
mar, punctuation and typographical
method he was the most careful and ex-
acting of editors. One time an editorial
contained two lines Of poetry in type or
the same size as that of the text, and,
as I wcs the author of it, Mr.. Dana
miliar signature, Reason, Revelation,
Science, Philosophy and Esthetics all
require that these lines should have
been put in small type" Upon another
occasion, when he thought verb had
been improperly used in a manuscript.
he wrote an admonitory sentence, ITO
say there are in this passage would be
unpoetic and consequently disgusting"
He took the blame whenever an error
escaped his eye. 81 take shame to my
self,'' he wrote one time when the au-
thor of an editorial had COMPOUNDED
Boston brown bread with Graham bread,
''for having printed this thing without
scrutinizing it. The Sun is ignorant
and wrong"
One day man in California had sent
an inquiry to the editor of The Sun,
"Will you please tell me how to be-
come Christian?' and as | often dealt
with religious questions at the time
this appeal was received Mr.. Dana blue
penciled the back Of the mans note
with these words: "Why not give him
a ripping answer? Give him the social
list side of Christianity"
Wien the writer of book review
had italicized eight or ten of his words,
Mr.. Dana commented thus: "This re-
view is the best in the whole lot and is
very good, but why in the world an ex-
perienced writer like -- wants to
pepper his manuscript with nasty little
italics I can't imagine"
When the writer of an editorial para
graph in The Sun wrote of "Govs.
Cameron and Crittenden," the ever
watchful critic in the sanctum got after
him in a note left for me: 1.-THE term
'govs.,' 'gens.,' 'capts.,' etc, is dis
gushing. The titles have no plural as
attached to any individual name. They
should be repeated, or decentralization
should be used"
In an editorial article printed in bre-
vier type there had appeared an extract
in agate type. The grammatical subject
of a sentence was in BREWER, while the
verb for it was in the subsequent agate
line. Mr.. Dana wrote for my benefit:
''This passage from big type to little is
contrary to all sound principles of typo
graphical elegance. Greeley used to
make the passage and country newspa-
pers still make it, but it is wicked"
When a writer for The Sun once de.
scribed a man as "too condemn smart,
the phrase was highly offensive to Mr.
Dana, who wrote a Caustic comment
upon it in three words which need not
be here printed. Swinton in

That was a neat answer w.
J. Bryan gave to the Cincinnati
paper that asked him for an au~
sWer to Bob Ingersoll's criticism,
that Br> an is back number and
has no political future. Col.
Bryan's telegraphic reply was
that he did not regard Col. In>
gersoll as capable authority to
speak of his eligibility for the
back number list nor upon his
prospects tor the future, as Col
Ingersoll does not believe in a
future. A neat turn.-R0an0kl

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases

| Few Days.
 A dispatc to the New York Tribune
 says: Alfred G. Vanderbilt tonight ar
 rived back in Newport which he left
 about two months ago on his long trip around the world, which was interrupt ed by the death of his father, Cornelius | Vanderbilt. He came on the $40 train from Boston on his car No. 49S. of the | New York Central railroad, and was ! accompanied by Robert l.. Gerry and | Potter Palmer, jr., who had met him in New York. At the train here he was met by only Harry Payne Whitney his brotherin-law, There was no demon stration upon the arrival of the little party MT. Vanderbilt and friends, alighting and simply greeting MT. Whit ney, took family carriages, which were in waiting, and were at once driven to The Breakers.
 It is by no means certain that the much talked about family conference regarding the disposition of the Van derbilt fortune will be held here at this time, or that the will of Cornelius Van derbilt is to be read or its provisions disclosed When asked regarding this tonight, just as the train pulled into the station, MT. Whitney said that he did not himself know whether such conference was to be held The indica- tions are rather that there will be sim ply family gathering here on Sunday, and that if any conference of formal or business nature is to occur it will be at a later date, possibly early next week.
 At The Breakers tonight the party consists only of the immediate family, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and her youngest daughter. Gladys; Alfred G. Vanderbilt, MT. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who returned from Lenox last night, and Reginald Vanderbilt, who ar rived from New Haven, where he is a student at Yale college, on the o'clock boat, connecting with the Shore Line train Cornelius Vanderbilt, the oldest son, is not here, nor has Chauncey M Depew yet arrived; and in the absence of these two it is not probable that any thing in the nature of formal confer ence will be held.
