A Pen-picture of Hearst.

The New York Herald has this to say about William R. Hearst, editor of the New York Journal and other newspap- CTS. who has just been elected to a seat in the next congress:
 "Enfant terrible of American journ- alism; inventor of the Continuous Per | formance Extra, and proprietor of an endless chain system of newspapers stretching from New York to California ! thence southward to Cape Horn, three times around this and upward to the far end of the solar system. Born, San Francisco, Cal, at un- known date. and is therefore of age. His first word was 'Ex-tre,' repeated three times. in shril tones that attract ed immediate attention. Two days la ter he purchased a printing press and began the publication of the Daily Sand Lot. a weekly journal of straight Am ericanism, in the management of which he first displayed those talents which have made his name famous from, Cook county to Chicago. from New York to the Atlantic ocean and from San Fran cisco to the Pacific.
 As a mere youth he invented the method of dating his paper four weeks
 
 parts of the earth on time, in the op- eration of which plan he is assisted by well trained company of clairvoyants, whose provision is such that they can perceive events before they happen, so that the news he spreads is always strictly fresh.
 Has established wireless telegraphv connections between his own person and every other point of interest in the world, which enables him to get the news while it is happening, and some times even before that. Is the respon- sible head of all great reform move ments everywhere. and during the Spanish war directed the whole affair by means Of electric buttons, from his office in New York. The surrender of the Spanish forces was made directly Co him, and in the sea fight off Santiago he was in command of all the ships on both sides, which accounts for the completeness of the American victory. At the close of the Spanish war he de- voted his energies to governmental re- forms. with the result that the United states has become a dividend paying corporation of much stability.
 For recreation he hunts big game chiefly in the form of trusts, in which pursuit he has laid low many an octo- pus of great power and horrific repu- tation.
 ''Is the author of many volumes of great public interest and of infinite va riety, although he modestly publishes them over other names than his own His little manuel, How to Bring Up Children, by Mrs. Katzenjammer,' is a work of sterling value in promoting the truest sentiments of a sweet home life. His study of the submerged classes in his picturesque volume, The Recollections of Happy Hooligan. is regarded as standard, while his seri- ous political essays, published from time to time, under the allurinE title of Thoughts by Arthur Brisbane have brought him great renown.
 Has been mentioned for the vice presidency 946. .73S.621 times. and for the governorship of New York twice but prefers the retirement of private life which the editorship of 963 newspa pers of the first rank permits. Address Hearst, New York, Washington. Chica- go, London, San Francisco, Manila. Patagonia, Vienna, the KIondike. or anywhere else except Boston, Mass"
