DAVID SWINGS HEADLINES,


- n0 wfOtO T0en1s
David Swing was a particular man
about his copy" remarked an old man
aging editor as he looked over the days
headlines.
1--WE used to publish contribution
from him once q week on Saturdays on
books, politics-anything he chose to
write about. He used to write his own
headlines. and he was particular to have
them go as he wrote them. Half the
time he had three times as many words
as would BIT In the column and then often
just word or two that spoiled the whole
page from typographical point of view.
used to tell the copy readers to follow
his headlines as nearly as they could.
One day he staked in in high dudgeon.
They've been changing the title Of
my article again. he said, and want it
stopped
Il had argued with him several times
about it. but couldn't make him under.
stand that type could not be expanded,
cut or squeezed. So said as the easiest
way to get out Of 1t:
ats those asinine copy readers again,
professor. I'll fix Them
when thing can't be helped, lay 1t
on the copy reader is the rule in all news
paper Offices, Of course. Well. the next
week gave orders for them to run Pro-
lessor Swings headline just as he wrote
it, no matter what it was. The form was
like this, Politics In Chicago, by David
Swing
FRIDAY night the professor sent his
copy down, and it happened to be a
Scathing review Of some newly published
books which did not meet his approval.
The next day readers of the paper were
amused and the whole town set laughing
BY the professors article under this head
line, Some Bad Writing, by David
Swing
1.-THE professor missed the joke. and
Eugene Field and DR.. Bristol and others
over In the saints and sinners corner
kept their own counsel. Next week we
came out with an article entitled Some
More Bad Writing by David Swing
"The joke by that time was too good
TO keep, and II was the last occasion on
which the professor said anything to me
about headlines. Inter Ocean.

The monks at the hospital of st. Jean
de Dieu at Client have in their leisure
moments decorated the walls with gor.
geous landscapes glowing with color and
full of life which are formed entirely by
means Of the postage stamps Of all the
nations of the world. Palaces, forests,
streams and mountains are represented,
butterflies fit about in the air, birds of
beautiful pIumnge perch on branches,
snakes and lizards glide about, and in
Vulnerable animals find places here and
there. The pictures are most artistic in
the style of Chinese landscape gardening,
and already between 100000 and TO-
100000 stamps have been used.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.
March 10th. 1901

! Every one in New Castle county
knows that note endorsed with
Martin Leonard's name is negotia-
BILE paper. Well, Mr.. Leonard has
just discovered that a trader has
been forging his name for notes and
as a result of the annoyance he has
sworn out warrant before Magis-
trate Kelly of Wilmington, in order
that the torger may be brought to
| justice.
| On Wednesday last Mr.. Leonard
was surprised when T. Bavard
Heisel called upon him and made a
demand for $50, the amount Of a
promisory note, purporting to be
drawn by him. Mr.. Leonard de-
MED all knowledge of the note.
Then new feature appeared when
it was seen that John McCue was
a witness to Leonard's signature.
Leonard consulted his attorney,
John II. Rodney, and they called
upon McCue and he branded the
signature as forgery.
Leonard was Furthermore sur
prised when a demand was made
upon him for the payment of two
more notes, one for 500 and the
other for $40. The notes we're
drawn by thes same party.
Mr.. Leonard says: II know the
man that forged my name. It is
not the first time, as he has been
carrying on this business for two
years. People took the notes be-
cause they knew l was financially
fixed to meet them. Recently T
have been very sick and could not
keep up with this fellow. But he
has gone to the end Of his rope and
he must answer to the law for for
gerry. l do not propose to let him
60 ahead giving notes which are
worthless.
Hugh c. Smith, son Of Mrs. Emma
Smith, and the late Hugh c. smith,
who has been undergoing an oper-
alton at the Polytechnic Hospital,
Philadelphia, has left the hos pitaI
and is now at the home of his grand
mother IN the Quaker City. The
lad is expected to return to this
city in few days.
1t was pity that there could
not be secured band of men on
Saturday with rawhides to give
warm reception to the colored men
who came here from Wilmington to
vote. Men stoop too low a-davs
to be called respectable. 1t is all
right to defeat an opponent by fair
means but Il contemplate trick
should be beneath the notice OF
honest men. When men place their
hands on the Bible and swear to
do certain things then they are per-
jurers if they do otherwise. The
writer only wishes to enter his pro.
test against tactics at elections
such as were held here on Satur-
day.
Michael Finn and John Keegan
on Saturday shot two wild geese

ternoon at the home of Mrs. Leander
Eckles, on Delaware street near
Front. In the evening the business
session will be held and the visi-
tors will give interesting talks.
William Steinater, aged Is years,
was arrested last evening by Off
GER Tobln, on the charge of throw.
ing snow balls on the street. He
was fined $40. The father of the
lad roundly abused the officer for
the arrest.
