HISTORY OF THE STAR.
RecollectiOns of Another Ancient
Typo About Newspapers.

L" the Editor OF Inc Evening Star:
In reading the very interesting history of
The Star in last Saturdays paper my atten-
ton called to little history By an an
cient typo, but think he is somewhat off
in his recollections. For instance three of
the most important papers, contemporaries
of The Star We're entirely ignored. Now
if you will allow another ancient typo. who
was an active participant on the papers
named, to give his impressions. it may not
be uninteresting to some of the older read
ers. He says the Organ" was published
by Josiah Melville. Now. Melville WAS only
the foreman; the paper was owned by
stock company. of which DIR. Samuel c.
Busey was the manager. The Sentinel"
a morning paper, was owned by Bev. Tuck
er The paper was the outcome of the Kan
saS-Nebraska act, and the main object was
to get The Senate printing. which was
awarded to Tucker and afterWard sold to
Cornelius Wendell, after which the paper
died. Next in order came the States and
Union In 1857. by John 2. Heiss, and af
terward Joined by Roger A. Pryor, then of
Richmond. This was an evening paper,
published partly in the interest of Stephen
A. Douglas. who was then cOntesting with
Abraham Lincoln for the Illinois senator
ship and the Nicaragua canal scheme. On
this paper commenced the first career of
some noted newspaper men, Jack Savage,
one or the Irish refugees. did the heavy
Heiss, who was not writer of any note
Later Roger A. Pryor came upon the paper
Your own late lamented associate, Geo. w.
Adams, did his first reporting this paper
and was nicknamed "Shad," but for what
reason the writer does not know. He did
the watch house aud dog fight business. He
was then quite a youth, and WAS very pop
| ular among his associates. Henry Waiter
son. the well-known editor of the Louisville
| Courier-Journal, was also an apprentice as
| a writer on this paper. He was unpopular
| with the comps account OF his bad
copy. Ben. Perley Poore. another celebrity.
| did the society business. The paper died
| just before the war of the rebellion with
| the old disease-wantio of patronage.
! Next, in 1SGD. came thes Sunday Chron-
| fcle,' which in abOutsa Year afterward was
| turned into daily. 1t was very successful
| for time and lived until after the war
| when 1t died as a daily with the same fatal
| malady as Its predecessors The Chronicle"
| was owned and edited by John w. Forney
| who was then secretary of the Senate as
! Well as publisher and editor of the Phila-
| deiphia Press. On this paper the late John
| Russell Young commenced his newspaper
| career, as well as JameSIafterward Judge
Sheridan, with a host of other able
| writer's.
These are three psoniTent papers that
| The Star has outlived, and even their
| names are unknown except to few of the
| older citizens. .o, F. NJ, D.

Sarah F. Taylor, of Eureka, Greenwood
County, Kansas, writes: "I wish to say
to you for the benefit of suffering humanity,
I had been a sufferer for fifteen years
nearly all the time; and in August, 1896,
was taken with severe craulping pain in my
stomach. The doctor here said it was due
to gall stones. He relieved me for short
time, and then there was a hard lump about
the size of goose egg formed in my
right side. It became so sore I could
scarcely walk about the house, and l had
no appetite. l consulted two of the best
doctors in town and they said medicine
would do me no good. gave up all hope
OF ever getting well again. One day l
thought l would write to you telling you of
my condition. You told me had enlarge
ment of one of the lobes of my liver and
the gall bladder, and advised me to take
your Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Pellets which did according 10
directions. l had not taken more than
half bottle of each when L began to feel
better, and my appetite came back. Now
it is little over year since began to do
my own work. I have taken seven bottles
OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and seven vials of the Pellets and am
stronger than have been for five years"

was not able to do any kind of work until
November" writes Mr.. Noel w. Orvin, of
Langley. Aiken Co, S. c. "IIad been
coughing up small, hard Jumps of phlegm
for about year before l was taken down; I
then called on doctor who attended me
for two months, and said that one-half of
my left lung was gone. and advised ME to
leave my home Charleston, S. c. }, and go
to the country. but did not say what sort of
disease l had. 1 thought it was consump-
ton. and wrote to you for advice took
four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, which I sincerely believe has
done me more good than all the other
medicines l have ever taken"
