stances. The conversation that
ensued would, I suppose, amuse

with me in whatever manner he
found available, such communica-

what was written:

Brilliant Record Of a Newspaper man.

/ The success which has attended
William E. Curtis. the famous
correspondent of the Chicago Rec.
ord Herald, is rarely attained by
newspaper writer's. Beginning his
career in Chicago in 1872 as re-
porter he rapidly rose to the posi-
ton Of managing editor. He re-
signed that position on receiving a
government appointment as secre-
tary of the South American COM
mission. Mr.. Curtis travelled ex.
tensively in Central and South
America while in this position,
producing several popular volumes
as the result of his literary labors.
Afterward cooperating with Sec
rotary of State James G.. Blaine,
Mr.. Curtis organized the work of
the bureau of American republics,
with the result that he was placed
in charge of that organization, and
at the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE.
ton he distinguished himself by
his labors as the executive head of
the Latin-American department.
As correspondent of the Record
Herald Mr. Curtis travels have
carried him into every section Of
the United States as we'll as into
all quarters of the globe. His
China and Japan letters were pub
lished in book form; likewise his
letters from England, Germany
and France, as well as those written
during his travels in Mexico and
South America.
No newspaper correspondent
possesses the facility shown by |
Mr.. Curtis in writing on any of |
the diversified subjects embraced |
in his correspondence and making
it luminous. Nor is any corre-
spondent followed SO closely year
after year by the thousands Of
readers of the Record Herald. On
his recent trip to the Holy Land
