THE REPoRToRIAL SCOOP.
How II was worked on "A ST. Louis
Scribe by N Conscienceless
Contemporary.

a reporter named Jones on a daily in
st. Louis was detailed to interview the
governor OF another state. who had
slipped into the city on a secret political
mission, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut He learned to his disgust that
Jackson, the star reporter of rival
sheet, also proposed to call in an hour.
Acting on inspiration, he sent up card
bearing JacIson's name and was
promptly admitted. When he had
learned all he wanted he asked. with
gross intentional impudence, whether
the information was really true.
The governor turned purple. by
question my word ?' he asked.
"Oh, don't get gayl" replied Jones
airily; common governors cut no ice
with my Office
The old man foamed at the mouth.
"You insolent scoundrel," he roared,
"get out of my rooml" That was ex-
actly what Jones wanted and he went.
Presently Jackson showed up. "Here,
boy" he said, pompously, take my
card TO the governor" When the old
man looked at the pasteboard he nearly
expired. "rhc blankety-blanked in
famous villainl' he spluttered. =
never heard Of such blankety-blankea
effronery in my hfel Tell that mis-
ereant if he or anybody else from hii
internal paper comes up here I'll xii
'eml" The word was carried TO Jack
son, who went away raying Next day
the paper intimated the governor was
in town on bender. Jones paper hac
a capital interview and big scoop.

FELL ON HIS HEAD AND WAS IN
STANTLY KILLED-SHORT HAY
CROP.
ElktoR, Md, June 24.-Francis J.
Bittner, of Woodlawn, Cecil county
was killed yesterday while at work OH
load Of hay in his barn. He was put
ting the hay into the NOV, using a
horse patent fork with block ard ,all
attachment. Some of the hay was lift
ed as he stood upon it, throwing him
from the load to the floor. He fell on
his head and was killed instantly He
was 81 years of age and leaves a
widow and several children.
The hay crop in Cecil county, ac-
oording to reports, Will be very light,
In fact, about one-sixth Of the usual
crop. Where the hay generally STANDS
about three feet. this year there are
but few fields in which it exceeds a
foot in height The prospect for the
wheat crop is somewhat brighter, a
three-fourths crop being estimated.
Mrs. Mary Mclntire, widow OF
James McIntire. is critically i'll. She
was in Elkton yesterday and upon her

FIRE SERVICE IN ENGLAND.
The Force Employed in London l.
Only Half as Large as That
of Paris.

The British towns seem to have the
smallest number of paid tiremen of any
cities in Europe and America, says Mu-
nicipal Affairs. The London fire brig
ade has about 500 men, about the same
number as Berlin, which has only a
fourth of the population, and less than
one-half the size of the Paris corps.
Glasgow has but 100 men TO S00,00o pop
ulation; Leeds but 80 to 100000 people,
and Sheffield e2 men to population Of
350,00O. Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff,
Norwich, Bromley and other towns
have no separately organized fire de-
partment, the work of suppressing fires
being performed by the regular police
force. The expenditures for fire protcc-
ton are on similarly unimportant
scale. Thus Leeds spends less than
$1,000 a year, and Sheffield less than
$4,000 2 year; Preston. with pcpula-
tion of 10000, reports only s1,5oO spent
for its fire brigade, and Norwich, with
100000 population, only $3.50 n year. A
few towns, however, show a somewhat
larger range of expenditures. Glasgow
and Liverpool each annually expend in
the neighborhood of SIS, ,000-ahout ten
cents per capita-and proportionate
amounts are expended by Edinburgh
Dublin. Belfast and Stafford. The Lon.
don brigade costs about S050,0oo, or %
cents per capita. But even these excep-
tional instances are below the per cap.
