----------- TWO ASTORS CONTRASTED

From the Newark (N. J) Advertiser.
 There are millionaires and mlionaires. The New York Journal presents a striking pictorial contrast in it's issue today of John Jacob Astor, volunteer in the war with Spain, and William Waldorf Astor, the self-expatriated American. One left hls luxurious home and underwent the tolls and dangers of the campaign in Cuba. The other has come from his home in London to threaten the taxing authorities in New York that if they don't make him pre- ferred taxpayer he will renounce his citl- zenship and pay his personal taxes In England. It is fair to say that of the two Astor representatives John Jacob com mands far more respect both in England and America than his recreant relative.

has made the Journal @ power and forced other papers of worldwide reputation to center stood a square table and at each side were massive chairs. At the head of the table stood a chair much larger than the rest.
 The porter pointed out the chairs with pride and told me that they were occupied each day in editorial council. The big chair at the head was for James Gordon Bennett, the owner of the paper, but he had not occupied it for twelve years.
 Then he took me into another private room beyond, which he said was MT. Ben. nett's own editorial room. MT. Bennett had seen it only once on the occasion of fly ing visit to New York. But in anticipation of his coming, the ink bottle was kept ever filled and the top of the desk and all the small elegant little silver desk ornaments kept polished, ready for the masters hands,
 When we came out we found the lackey waiting. He had the biography in his hand. He said the editor returned 1t with thanks but could not use it as MT. Bennett has just cabled over from Europe that he had secured a biography of the same person and would cable It's text over in time for use on Sunday.
 ''Where is Mir. Bennett?" I asked the boy
 Tn Paris, madam" said he.
 Do you hear frol ~vlim often?" asked.
 ''Why, yes," replied he in a surprised tone "A great many times a day. He sits at his desk in the Paris office and talks with MT Reick. the city editor, as easily as though he had a speaking tube. MT. Reick answers him in the same way, so that MT. Bennett really edits the paper just as though he were here The smallest points are submitted to him and he passes upon them."
 'He must be great man." I ventured.
 Great oh madami' here the iacky held up both hands as though words failed him. You cannot imagine all he can do. From his office in Paris he talks one minute to Mr. Reick, another minute to the editor of the Paris edition, next to the cook in his Paris home and then he directs the office in Nice where he lives in winter because it Is warmer than in Paris"
 twill you ask the editor If would like another biography" I asked determined to sell manuscript on this trip. The boy came back and said, MT. Yard says he wants all the biography he can get"
 Seeing The World Editor With this bit of laconic insight into the Heralds editorial policy firmly tucked away in my brain I took the next Sixth avenue cable car to go down to the office of the New York World.
 And here my difficulties began. I could not reach the Sunday editor. When Joseph Pulitzer began his editorial policy fiftten years ago of encouraging the public to visit the World office he scattered seeds of trou- ble which he has never been able to up-

INTENSE SUFFERING FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
 TROUBLE Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured By Stuarfs Dyspepsia
 Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent
 Medicine,

Dr. Redwel relates an interesting account of what he considers q remarkable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspep- sia by the use of the new discovery, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He says: "The patient was a man who had suffered, to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases in the stomach: he had pains like rheumatism in the back shoulder blades and fffahs. fullness and dis tress after eating, poor appetite ana-loss of flesh; the heart became affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
 q gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment finally bought 5O-cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given, and after he had used four boxes he was to all appear ances, fully cured.
 'Therc was no more acidity or sour, wa- tery risings, bloatins after meals; the appetite was vigorous. and he has gained between ten and twelve pounds in weight of solid healthy flesh.
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I consider them most valuable addition to any physicians line of remedies, as they dIt pSilSCtly illesS anu cdI De gwen 10 children invalids in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
 "Without any question: they are the saf- est, most effective cure for indigestion, bil- iousness, constipation, and all derange- ments of the stomach, however slight or severe"
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are made by flz TF@ and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.

root. I found waiting for the editor poor women who were about to be dispossessed; l found In the ante-room persons who had grievances against the city government; others who desired information as to the whereabouts of special hospitals. And efo@ding everybody were persons who wanted to go up into the dome of the building.
 l sent my card into to Irving Bacheller the Sunday editor The boy came back and said, MT. Bacheller will see you" and in another minute found myself in the pres- enee Of newspaper man who. as the pro- prietor of a New York syndicate. was fa- mouse the. world around MT. Bacheller Is good looking man probably older than he looks, for he could pass for thirty-five. He Is one of those genial men who give you the impression of being very well disposed to- ward you without saying so in words
 The name l had sent in was an assumed one and when I held out my manuscript which was somewhat sensational one up- on the trousseau of a millionaire bride Mir Bacheller took it hesitatingly.
 "Is this-this-"
 "Authentic?" I asked, seeing the query that was in his eyes.
 "Er-yes?' said he. "We-er-nade it a rule"
 Exactly" said I. "So do l. The article Is correct in every detail and if upon read ing it you find it meets your approval you can investigate it through these sources, laying upon his desk a typewriter refer ence signed by two well known New York CTS
 Now, MT. Bacholler," I said, twill you tell me what kind of articles the World likes?"
 "Really-I-anything that is true"
 ''How would you like an article on XII ing q Dog in the Elcctrocution Chair?'"
 "Er-if it is true-and, by the way would t seem ungracious if I-er-excuse my self?'
 And in this pleasant, easy manner found myself bowed outside the door of the Sun day World, and out of the presence of one

Dana personally selects all the poetry"
 AS l walked out l chanced to meet a Journalistic friend and he told me how ably Pall Dana was filling the cloak left vacant by his father how he goes regularly to the Sun office and works faithfully, going to his home on Staten Island late in the day. Lik. his father he has fads. Years ago Charles A. Dana had trouble with a linotype ma chine man and in the heat of the argument MT. Dana shouted, "No linotype machine will ever work'
 And no linotype machine has ever work ed-in the Sun office!
 Paul Dana is a handsome man-indeed the Sun runs to good looking men-and like his father he has a fondness for young college graduates who will bring fresh ideas into the Sun office. He wants the newest and brightest of everything and when he cannot get good sporting article, he will take a good animal story and to run a good animal story he will leave out an account of the pope's latest fainting spell. He has inherited his fathers fad for cermanics and he worships at the shrine of the orchid
 Of all the great New York owners, there is scarcely ore who visits his newspaper office more than once or twice a year ard the humble contributor must trust his man. uscript to the more or less tender mercies of the editor in charge.

office as I should probably succeed in find ing MT Hearst at leisure then more than at any other time and so increased my chances of getting a personal interview with him.
 The words he spoke were not remarkable but in the simple good evening" I read greeting, encouragement and welcome
 q came to sell you a manuscript, MT. Hearst" said I, "and I would like to have you read it while waltz
 1T am sorry" said he, that I am too busy now to read a manuscript, but if you will kindly give 1t to the boy at the door, he will place it upon the desk of the Sunday editor who will read it at his leis- ure. Is your address upon it?'
 "Yes" said I, smN.ng, "but do not want you to send it back to me. It is on vivisec- tion."
 "Oh," said MT Hearst, smiling in answer to my smile, "that Is good. l presume it is of a semi-scientific nature. So much the better The Journal likes everything that Is good And by the way, you might leave the manuscript with me and I may have time glance it through"
 I handed him the article and bowed my self out, delighted at my success in secur- ing an interview with young man who has made himself the talk of two conti- nents.
 And while I rode uptown I recalled all that I had heard about this young man; how he was DOTH OH lH6 dSihS SOe'SN VIM came east to go to Harvard; how he grad mated some ten years ago and found him self again in his San Francisco home with more millions than he could estimate and with no way of getting rid of his money except that of dissipation, which is open to every young man of wealth.
 He loved that branch of literature known as journalism and decided to devote him self to letters. Through his wealth and the indulgence of his mother he came into complete control of the San Francisco Ex- aminer which he managed so well that 1t became the talk of the west.
 But California was too small to hold this ambitious journalist who loved nothing as well as newspapers and who had the money to sratify his ambition and three years ago he came to New York to buy the New York Journal.
 The Journal was at that time owned by Albert Pulitzer brother of Joseph Pulitzer. Albert Pulitzer was in poor health and the Journal was difficult to manage: so that he readily sold 1t to young Hearst for s30o 900. When asked why he chose a paper like the Journal MT Hearst is said to have replied, "I bought the Journal because 1t had the largest circulation of any paper that was for sale. I could have taken a paper of higher reputation. but. with a poorer circulation. But I preferred to take the Journal with its big circulation and run the risk of living down whatever reputa- ton it might have had"
 And this he has done. Ill three years he

had in my desk an article on vivisec- tion. And when the editor of this news paper wrote to me, asking me to visit the four great editors of New York and write up my experience, I reached down into my drawer and brought up the article.
 I purposely chose vivisection because my friend, Henry Guy Carleton, once told me that for an introduction to a newspaper there was nothing equal to a good thrilling article on vivisection.
 I had often written articles for these s1taw York newspapers but my dealings up to this t,me had been confined to the mail or to the interviews with the city editor. It was therefore with something of the timidity of a novice that I walked upthe steps of the New York Tribune building to call upon Editor William R. Hearst of the New York Journal, who has his offices in the Tribune.
 l went up one flight of stairs and was there directed to a door which led into a small room inside of which was another door leading to a still smaller room be. yond. In the room beyond sat a tall blonde young man in his shirt sleeves. He was apparently thirty years old, and while l stood looking at him he busiy scratched away upon a sheet of common copy paper "That is MT. Hearst" said the office boy, land you can step right in. He sees every body. You don't have to send in your card"
 And in another moment I stood before one of the richest young men in the United States, a young man who has been called the Nestor of twentieth century journal ism.
 At The Journal

the wall. While affecting to despise his methods they have first initiated, then closely fololwed him. For three years he has worked day and night, taking scarcely the recreation of man of trade. For T long time he lived in lodgings in Thirty fifth, and came down town early and got home late. He is said to have fads and fancies, to be the victim of this sensational person and that; but 1t has been found in the long run that there was method in all he sought and all he did; and the method was to make a better newspaper.
 Not a less remarkable member of the Hearst family is Mrs Phoebe Hearst, the very youthful looking mother of her son. Mrs. Hearst devoted her time last year to an educational scheme in Washington. This year she has been in Paris giving largely toward a benevolent educational scheme there. She takes an active hand in running the Journal and has been known to hire and discharge artists and writers. An ar tist is often hired on the Journal "because Mrs. Hearst likes his Work"
 At The Herald
 All this passed through my mind as I was on my way up in the cable cars, bent OF visiting the New York Herald.
 There was no hope of seeing the proprie- tor here, so I asked for the Sunday editor. He was gone home and l was told to call next morning at 10 o'clock
 Next morning at 10 o'clock I mounted the broad marble staircase leading from the Herald counting room, and was met at the top of the stairs by page who ushered me into a magnificent reception room where lackey in uniform took my card and a b. ography, which I was told the Herald would surely accept.
 The boy was gone a very long time and while I waited the porter, upon whom l be- slowed a sweet smile, unlocked a massive door at the rear of the reception room and showed me into a room beyond; and I can say right here that it was one of the finest chambers I have ever beheld. It was a very long room, perhaps fifty feet, and, if I recall it was thirty feet deep. In the

this in so short time, for it took less than ten years, he had worked himself nearly pilnd, and to preserve his eyesight he had to give up everything.
 In 1891 he returned to America and has since lived in New York in the fall, at Jekyl Island in winter, and at Bar Harbor III sumner He keeps a secretary who reads the World through to him every day, and he receives Cozens of letters from m m- Ders of the staff, part of whose duty 1t is to report to tho chief In this way he keeps in touch with his big newspaper. He is chiefly remarkable for the fact that he all lows no personal faVoritism, and, as soon as man gets too big for his job, Mir Pu- litzer lets him go. And he has had many WHO became afflicted in this way.
 A young Pulitzer is growing up. Ralph, at Harvard is a splendid fellow. During his vacations he works on the World. and a year ago drew his first picture for that paper a fine head. A year ago MT. Puiit- Ser lost his faYorite daughter. Lucille, and in memory of her he is now endowing scholarships all over the country. He has a remaining daughter in her teens.
 Bear Story for The Sun
 A visit to the Sun office is more formid- able matter. Not in actuality, but in feel ing; for the Sun has a wonderful prestige among the writers of New York. l chose for my visit to the Sun office a rejected manuscript on "Tl.e Habits of the Grizzly Bear knowing that Paul Dana, the son of his father, would accept grizzly bear story even though he had to cut out his own telegraph news service.
 I entered door alongside clothing store and mounted a flight of rickety stairs. At the head of these 1 found another flight, and still another beyond, but as l walked up 1 felt sure that there could be very few women on the staff or that Sun wo- men were not fastidious as to elevators, elegant railways, and clean walls. l am told that Miss Bsland has charge of the Woman's Page, and that she has been do- ing the work since Helen Waterson mar

 Do you run fakes?' I ventured 10 ask that walking encyclopedia of useful infor- nation the boy at the door.
 Not on your life" sad he MT. Pulitzer wants the real stuff, and MT. Seitz dis charges the man who writes a fake"
 As I stepped across City Hall park looked at the spot where stands the bench which Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the magnificent World building, points out as the ono upon which he slept when he came to New York years ago, a foreigner without money or without freinds. But he had good Hungarian education and he was more than willing to work. He got job on the old World and ran around half the time without a coat on, asking everybody questions and picking up all the informa- ton he could. Then came long experience in St. Louis journalism to be followed by the purchase of the New York World, then small sheet
 Nearly twenty years ago MT. Pulitzer married Miss Davis, of the Jefferson Davis family, one of the most beautiful women of the south, and through his wife's fam fly and his own money and cleverness he has lifted himself into a very good social position. When his health failed ten years ago he went to Geneva and lived abroad for many years. It was said that he did not dare to return to New York for fear that the temptation to work would be too much for him; and he had long since amassed fortune large enough to refrain from it.
 In 1890 Joseph Pulitzer found himself rich beyond the dreams of avarice the owner of tho largest sensational newspaper in the world the building of the tallest sky scraper in New York, and the head of many unique institutions including Build ing Fund, a Sick Baby enterprise and other odd but popular creations.
