A FRIEND TO EDITORS.

Prof. W. H. Lynch Of Mountain
Grove Academy, at Mountain Grove,
Mo-, is credited with reading more
paid-for newspapers than any other
man in the United States. He sub
Scribes for tifty-eight newspapers. six
of them dailies. The professor was
in Kansas City and, discussing news
papers, said: 81 use the newspapers in
my classes. They are the best in.
struments in the world for teaching
ing current history and geography.
The real drama Of life in its varied
forms of commercial, political and
social relations must be seen and
learned through the mirror of the

ton, Pa. will not see each other so
often hereafter. A unique. law pre-
venting courtship in public parks and
on the streets is being enforced to
their sorrow and Indignation. Big /.
trees are numerous in cDe OF the resi-
dent parts of town and this is a favor
ite place for billing and cooling. Three
young couples not long ago were whs-
pering sweet nothings and making
goo.goo eyes at each other by the pale
light of the moon when policeman
swooped down upon them, capturing
the entire party with the exception
of one young man who was ungallant
enough to escape and leave his dull
cinea to be taken care of by the Off
GERS. AS those captured were each
fined SO, nocturnal courtshlp in public
places is very apt to fall In disrepute.
Between the paternal boot and the
watchfnl eye Of the policeman, Romeo
will have an ambuscaded road to
travel. The law will interfere SER
iously with those fathers who have
several marriageable daughters on
hand and are anxious to afford every
facility for elopements in order to
save wedding expenses.

sentatives. Guards were posted at the
door and everyone except the doctors
turned away AT Q the physicians held
another consultation. and at $50 secre-
tary cortelyou gave out the following
bulletin:
AT 9 the doctors report Mrs Nc
Kinley's condition not so favorable,
she having had sinking spell at .
this morning. There will not be an
other official bulletin until noon.
The president has cancelled every
engagement for the day"
Later it was learned by the Associat-
< ed Press that Mrs. Mckinley was alive
but liable to expire at any moment The
distressing news spread rapidly over
the city, and crows gathered about the
newspaper bulletin boards anxiously
awaiting further information. About
the Scott house. where Mrs. Mckinley
lies. groups of people gathered and dis
cussed in low tones her illness.
Everybody who left the house early
was questioned for information, but
everybody was referred to Secretary
sCortelyou. That gentleman was invis-
ible to those who called and nothing
definite could be learned.
The Scott mansion is on the crest of a
high hill overlooking Lafayette Square
and there Is very little traffic in the
neighborhood. When it became known
how dangerously i'll Mrs. Mckinley
was even the few vehicles that pass tina,
way were stopped and the streets on all
sides kept free from noise.
1t is very probable the local commit
tees having charge of the arrangements
for the entertainments and banquets for
the president and visitors from Ohio Will
abandon everything in the event of Mrs
McKinley's death, and 1t is likely the
launching of the battleship Ohio
planned for Saturday. will be post
lponed.
Members of the presidents cabinet
but they could be of no assistance and
returned sadly to their hotels. From
there they kept in constant telephone
communication with Secretary Cortel-
you, who even to members of the presi-
dents official family was very reticent.
The president was with Mrs. McKln-
ley constantly during the night. At his
request all the relatives were notified OF
the extremely critical character OF her
illness. She was unconscious most OF
the time, just lowering between life and
death. Artificial heart stimulants were
iesorted to and three physicians were In
constant attendance. Thousands Of
kilograms, received from all over the
world. are being answered with the In.

formation that Mrs. McKinley's condi-
tion is very critical. AT 10 o'clock Mrs.
Morse, the presidents niece, arrived at
the house. Everything at that hour in
dicated the end was approaching.
San Francisco, May 16-At 11:3O the
attending physicians are in consultation
and they believe there is a bare chance
for Mrs. Mckinley's rally Her lack of
reserve strength, however, makes her
ability to revive extremely doubtful.
San Francisco, May 1G.--At 11:45 Cort-
elyou made the following statement:
physicians have been most OF the
morning with Mrs. Mckinley and report
that while she had no relapse during
the morning her condition is grave. She
is not suffering, but very weak.
AT noon there We're reports that Mr..
Mckinley had died and at once flags
began to drop to half mast all over the
city 1t was soon learned that the ru-
NOR was incorrect. Gradually the flags
resumed their former positions.
San Francisco, May 16, 1870 p. n,.-A'-
tho no official bulletin has veen issusd it

ton is unchanged.

London, May 1e.-The foreign office
has issued Chinese blue book, BRING
ing the record of negotiations down to
December. The cable mistake, by
which Conger was instructed to agree

Mr.. Choate told me there was doubt
as to whether the president had tae
right, without act of congress, to accept
words which might have the effect of
making it incumbent on the United
States government to remain in perma-
rent occupation of Chinese territory. I
