NEWSPAPER ERRORS.
A Little Shop Talk Explains Why They
are SO FREQUENT

A Little Shop Talk Explains Why They
are SO Frequent.
Society has been said TO be divided int
two parts: those WHO wish they owned u
newspaper, and those who wish they
didn't.
Society is certainly divided into two
other parts those who take paper, and
those who take their neighbours paper /;
and the newspaper has no critic quite SO
boris paper.
We are told that newspapers make
mistakts-mlslakes of the type, mac
curaciss IN statement, blunders as o facts,
and, MS libel suits occasionally remind Us,
deliberate misrepresentation is suine-
times charged.
To the first indictment, that newspapers
make mistakes, defendant pleads guIity,
and asks that there be called witness on
behalf of complainant some one " no ma kes
no mistakes. Typographical errors are
particularly exasperatins-i suppose be
cause they are usually SO trivial; 1t Is the
little things that count.
Some typographical errors are merely
ludlcrous; Others would move strong
men to tears, teet otaiers to drink, Job TO
anger. To err IL human, to forgive
unusual. The line OF type which gets
into the paper bottomside up is the one
line every body Is sure to see; the word
misspeileo, the sentence with wrong
word or two in it-welI, an editor wouiu
never begin to suspect how many readers
he has unless that sort OF thing happened.
The question is. how do Typographical
errors occur? Why do they occur? Why
doesn't someb body get up q law against
them?
But consider, for moment, how great
is the. opportunity for typographical
errors. In newspaper column OF minIon
type there will be say 200 lines, averaging
seven words TO line; III each line there
will be an average of something like
thirty-two letters and six spaces, or 1900
chances in each column for the compost
tor to make typographical error. Is it
surprising that one, two or half dozen
errors sometimes appear In one column?
Something much harder TO understand
than typographical errors Is the not I'M
common mistake OF meaning one word, or
name, and writing another. This Is a
mistake which is made more or less by
every man who writes much and writes
rapidly, and it is the cause of anot her
class of errors in newspapers. That sob Der,
industrious, usually accurate men will
make this kind OF mistake, is sonnet hing
which they cannot themselves pretend to
explain.
Errors OF misin for nation constantly
arise through the reporter heing rnisIed
az TO facts by persons protesting 10 know
them.
10 ind mistakes OF one sort or other in
newspapers is the easiest thing in the
world; for newspaper making is subject
to all the Limitations common to othe
enterprises, Plus few limitation peculiar
to itseif.-Erchdnge.

THE INTERPRETATION.
The king is God; the son Is Christ;
the marriage is the union of Christ
with His church. espoused at His first
coming and to be consummated at His
second coming; the feast represents
the bounteous provision that God has
made for those who accept the invita-
ton to come to Christ. 1t may include
not only the joys that shall come to
Christians at the actual marriage feast
of the Lamb. but all the joyous bene-
fits that come to believers here ana
hereafter. The blessings of the Cos
pei are often represented IN the inquire
of marriage and a feast. Here the
two symbols are combined. Those hrst
invited. but who refused to come, are
the Jews. The first servants sent out
are the preachers in the lifetime of our
Lord. The second are those who pro-
claimed the gospel after Chrlsts death
and resurrection. of whom Stephen and
James were killed. The burning of the

The Commissioners Report on the
Philippines.
The present commission to the

evidently required to send home
favorable report in order to infu.
ence an election. The present one,
however, has proven that it is not
such an adept in the art of covering
up things as was its predecessor
Judge Taft has too judicial mind
to reach decision in total disre-
gard Of the facts. Shurman, DENLY
g. Co. performed that feat with an
agility that almost took ones breath
away. Judge Taft is as complacent
to the administration as it is posi-
bic for an honest man to be whose
eyes are not entirely closed. He
makes it abundantly clear that the
war in the Philippines is not yet
nearly over. Not only must the
$1,000 United States soldiers al
ready there be retained undiminish-
ed, but their numbers must be add
ed to if life and property are to be
reasonably we'll protected. He re-
ports that the Tagalos, Viscayaus,
and Others have recently formed
organizations which prevent Ameri-
cans travelling out OF sight OF their
camps, and are too numerous and
spring up too suddenly 10 unsus-
pected quarters, for our troops to
effectually cope with them. Will
this state of affairs eyer be mended?
We doubt that it will. We can, it
is true, go on killing natives, but
they can create new ones quicker
than we can send soldiers to mas
sacre them. 1t should be relnem-
bered that just opposite Manila lies
