In the British newspaper office hith-
erto there has been no possible chance
for brains and ideas to come to the
front. Americans who have visited
London have been amazed to find i'm
portant war news printed with only one
or two lines of type for head. Dur
ing the Cecil Rhodes investigation by
parliament a Womans testimony which
figured in the case was given only bare
mention. A bright American neWspa-
per man who read it saw What a great
value this Woman's remarks had and
interviewed her cabling several col
umns to his journal, which was subse-
quently cabled back to England, and
the acknowledgment made by several
of the fair-minded papers of the met
ropolis that America had seen a point
which they had overlooked. News,
which we consider the most essential
feature of a newspaper, seems in the
estimation of the British editor to be
a secondary matter when compared
with the ponderous editorials called
leaders over there. The writer of
these leaders is always an authority
on his subject who does not write a
flippant and frothy editorial, but gives
utterance to views which, especially in
such leading papers as the Telegraph
and the Times, aid in shaping the pol
icy of the British empire. The reporter
who is a long, long distance removed
from the leader writer in the estima-
ton of the British editor, is a machine
like individual, who lacks the nose fol-
news" without which an American re-
porter would never rise a step in his
profession. To the British reporter the
most important point of a story is not
played up in the first paragraph, but
comes in chronological order. This
man starts his story from the begin
ming and goes right on, making no at
tempt to weed out the dry parts.
good story is told of the English
newspaper man, who was considered a
good man in London. When he came
to New York he was sent by the city
editor to report a lecture. The lecture
was quite long and the other reporters

From the English illustrated Magaz

From the English Illustrated Magazine.
The Russian court ministerial and
military dress is costly and rich in the
extreme, and this richness is carried
out even to the liveries of the servants,
their scarlet coats being literally ablaze
with gold. 1t is a fact that no court
in the world presents such picturesqe
and magnificent appearance as does
that of Russia. AT any function, there
fore, the show is brilliant, but more
especially, perhaps. at ball, when
the rich evening toilets of the ladies,
enhanced by jewels of priceless worth,
add much to the already brilliant eff
feet. The Russian dances are of a
very stately description and both the
emperor and empress take part in them
very thoroughly.
The aspect of the armoral hall
where the supper is often laid is grand
beyond description. This meal is not
| partaken standing, as at the majority
| of courts, but the guests sit down at
| the long rows of tables. A procession
| is formed, which is headed by his i'm
perial majesty, and the most distin-
guished lady present, and the room is
then entered in the order of precedence.
! OF course, an immense quantity of
plate is displayed. This and the china
| that is also used are noted throughout
| Europe for their richness and beauty.
| There is one service alone that is capa-
| bel of dining 500 persons that is COM
posed entirely Of the purest silver over
| laid with gold Added to all this the
use of a variety of the choicest fruits
and the rarest flowers, among which
orchids figure largely, makes the scene
| one of most gorgeous magniticence.

Through Tourist Cars to Kansas City

The action of the Northern Pacific
and Burlington railroads in establish
ing a twice-a-week tourist car line be-
tween Seattle and Kansas City is step
in the right direction. 1t means that
it is now possible to get aboard car
at any point in Washington, Idaho or
Montana along the main line of the
Northern Pacific and go through to
Kansas City without changes or de-
lays of any kind. Cars leave Anaconda
and Butte every Tuesday and Saturday,
arriving at Lincoln, st. Joseph and
Kansas City following Thursday and
Monday. Close connections are made
at Lincoln with solid vestibuled trains
for Omaha, Peoria, Chicago and st.
Louis.

Rev. j. l.. Thomas M. A., F. r. G. s., Describes
the Remarkably Interesting Discoveries
Made by Explorations in Palestine

London, April 2O-The search for the
hidden archaeological treasures of the
Holy Land goes on with unflagging en-
ergy and with the earnest support CT
the sultan who, so far from opposing
the work that Christians are prospect
ing in his territory, regards them with
favor. Since the issue of the last fir
man the agents of the Palestine explo-
ration fund have continued with fresh
vim the work that they have SO sue
cessfully carried ON during the past
few years. Their explorations have
proved conclusively the important fact
that great mound that has been I'M
der cultivation for centuries and which
IS called Tell-el- Hesv. is identical with
the Amorite city of Lachish. DR.. Bliss
has demonstrated that NTell-el-Hesy

many times destroyed and rebuilt. The
first town was built, it has been proven.
as long as 1000 B. c., and the last it is
supposed was erected in the fourth CEN
fury before the birth of Christ.
The remains of some nine cities in all
exist between the first and last. each
town having for it's foundation the
ruins of the one which Immediately
preceded it on the same site. All traces
of the city last erected had been Ions
obliterated when the explorers COM
menced their excavations on the
mound, the only evidence that the spot
was once the site of town, being an
occasional stray potsherd turned up by
the hoe or ploughshare of a farmer
The round knoll known as Tell-el-Hesy
had for centuries been under cultiva-
ton, and one of the preliminaries to
excavation on the site was the purchase
of the crops with which it was COW
cred.
When the remains of the various
cities We're unearthed one after the
other it was found that the houses
were built of sun-dred bricks, still used
in the East, being blocks of mud held
together by chopped straw. DIR. Bliss
prepared elaborate plans and measure
ments of eight of the cities the build
ing and rooms of which were well de-
fined and easily traced, but he recog-
nized as many as II cities in all. 1t is
believed that a layer of charcoal dust

by the Israelites.
The excavations brought to light a
most interesting relic in the ruins of the
third city. 1t is a tablet of burnt clay,
measuring 21ax2 inches, similar to the
celebrated Tell-el-Amarna tablets, bear
ing a message in cuneform characters,
and ascribed to the 15th century, B. c.
1t is now in the Imperial museum at
Constantinople. In it occurs the name
of Zimridi, who we learn from the Tell

lord. The translation of the tablet is

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
New York, April 25.-Two Yankee
newspaper boys are destined to revo-
lutionize British journalism by the in
PRODUCTION of American newspaper
methods. They have been given ed-
torial control of the first Sunday news
paper to be published in the British
metropolis. Harmsworth, the million
are king of the British penny press
who owns upwards of 80 publications
and whose Daily Mail paved the way
for still more advanced ideas, has
brought these two American boys
across the ocean to teach the English
idea how to shoot, although the best
brains employed in London newspaper
work are at his command. The Harms
worth preference for our type of jour
nalist is a real compliment to Ameri-
can newspaper men, and if the British
ers like the sample there will doubtless
be demand by the proprietors of rival
sheets for more of the same kind.
A bombshell exploded in Westminster
abbey yard scarcely have caused more
CONSERVATION to Sedate old John Bull
than the launching in London of Sun
day edition of a daily newspaper. For
half a century the British editor has
pursued the even tenor of his way, and
the British public have been content
to go to bed on Saturday night know
ing that the doings of the great world
outside their immediate circle of ac-
quaintances would be sealed book to
them for a day and two nights. To
suddenly change all this is an under
taking that must necessarily encounter,
in a conservative country like England,
fierce opposition.
1t reads strangely to those Americans
who value their Sunday newspaper
next to their Sunday dinner to read
the following cable dispatch from Lon
don:
Captain Prize, liberal member for
North Aberdeen, asked the government
to enact a law against the publication
of newspapers seven days in the week,
with view of checking the growth of
Sunday newspapers. Mr. Balfour re-
piled that the government had not the
slightest intention to legslate on such
assubject."
The noise of the controversy has at
tracted the attention of newspaper men
all over the world. The clergy are up
in arms and their battle cry is mo new
journalism for u.s." The champions of
liberal views are pointing out in an
sWer to this cry that the term new

jealous journals which, lacking enter
prise, money and brains have fallen
behind the procession, have aspersed
1t as yellow Journalism" but yellow
journalism and new journalism are two
entirely different things. Yellow jour
nalism represents a pandering to the
baser passions of the reader and the
wilful misrepresentation of things, the
invasion of the privacy of the home and
a raking in the gutter for the delecta-
ton of the prurent- minded; whereas
new journalism simply means the old
journalism imbued with new life and
ideas through the lavish expenditure
of money where foresight can see that
accessions to the ranks of readers will
be attracted. 1t is pointed out that new
