SOME LESSONS OF CHAU-
TAUQUA ON THE SUB
TECT OF CHRISTIAN
UNITY.
(By the Bishop of Tennessee.)

(By the Bishop of Tennessee)
AT the beginning OF the twenti
eth century, when our Nation Is
face to face with new and untried
problems, which, we believe, are
going to be solved, not only right
ly, but righteously; and which, in
the very struggle for that solution,
are going to carry us, as a people,
into great and splendid and, we
hope, reverent possession and use
of power-there are two things
for which, above all others, Chris
tians ought to work and pray.
Those two things are G) the
union OF the American people,
North, South, East and West
in mind and heart-without fric-
ton of sectional distrust or jeal-
ousy OF mere political traditions !;
and (2) the conservation of this
union in the Name and faith Of
Jesus Christ.

GODS POWER.

I marked the Spring as she passed

song;
While she stole in peace DER the
green earth's breast,
While the streams sprang forth
from their icy rest.
The buds bent low in the breezes'

And their (breath went forth in
the scented sky;
Where fields looked fresh in their
sweet repose
And the young dews slept on the
newborn rose.

Over rich. dark woodlands their

In 1892 the Eastern branch of the Asso- ciated Press-that is, the former New York concern-merged Its affairs into those of tho United Press. while that DOT ton of the Associated Press situated in the West continued independently with headquarters at Chicago, retaining the name of the Associated Press
 The Associated Press as thus consti- tuted, in common with the United Press, kept to the plan of selling news to rep. resentatives of papers not members of the Association.
 Contract relations were maintained be- tween the Eastern and Western Associa- tions, that Is, between the Associated Press and the United Press, until 1893, when the contract expired, and the As sociated Press refused to again renew 1t, and there followed a bitter war; culminat- ing in the assignment of the United Press with assets and liabilities standing in about the same ratio as tdose of the av- craze debtor who nowadays seeks the benefit of the voluntary bankruptcy law.
 The Associated Press could not, under its bylaws, again admit to membershlp all those papers left unprotected by the failure of the United prc'4. and what is more, news gatherin" concerns which were organized to take Clr' of these pa pers were declared by thh Assoclated Press to he antaROnlStlC tp Us "'il-bN''io' and in order to conserve it's own interests and to safeguard the service it had built up. members of the Associated Press were forbidden to contract with such assocla- tons.
 | A leading Chicago paper had been re- | ceiving a news service from bureau thus prescribed, and being threatened with suspension by the Associated Press sought, by bill in the Circuit Court to restrain such action.
 The Circuit Court dismissed the bill; the plaintiff appealed: the appellate court confirmed the decision, dismissing the | bill.
 The Supreme Court of Illinois, however, on further appeal, reversed the previous decisions, taking the ground that the cor
 poration had a monopoly of a commodity Of great importance to the public and had used its franchise in such a way as
 to work injury to the public good.
 The effect of this decision was not to deprive the Associated Press of its rights ] which had been termed a monopoly, but I resulted only in the removal of the cor ! poration to the State of New York, where ] it was re-incorporated in 1900

This is q sharp condensation of the more important news, and is not handled over the leased wires. but is filed with the commercial tele- graph companies for transmission. This may be an afternoon or morning ser vice. In addition to these telegraphlc reports, there is also sent out a great volume of matter by mail, in advance or the time when 1t IS to be published. rms matter is held in strict confidence untll it has been released by a telegraphic order from the general manager. Severe pen alties are imposed upon any member Tor a violation of this confidence
 The annual messages of the President of the United States are given to the Associated Press in advance of their de- livery to Congress. These annual mes sages range in volume from 9o.Oo0 to 5O'"o words, and are sent over the leased wires. usually the night before the open ing of Congress. Great pains are used 10 keep the contents of these messages pro- found secret, and while Wall Street IS wondering as to the grounds covered by the President in his recommendations for leaisIation. a copy of the message is safe in the hands of a representative of the Associated Press in every important city of the country, who await the signal from Washington that it's reading to the Congress has been taken up.
 The preparation of an Associated Press dispatch demands some care, in order that something may be told and yet do no unjust injury to any person or to | any interest. One can easily conceive l how a correspondent may, by careless | and unguarded statement, lay the foun- dation for litigation the ramification of which might reach every important city | in the country. No man is directly held to be guilty of any wrong doing until l that guilt has been established in court | of record; nor are any persons motives impugned or questioned While every ef- fort is made to do justice always. there
 is no person. interest or combination of
 interests sufficiently powerful to effect
 the suppression of any piece of legitimate 1 news.

 The great rolls of paper are unwinding into the press; the paper races around the cylinders as if mad with delght at being turned loose. The paper flies out Of the press and passes ''the paster where thin stream of paste is run onto the paper. Away it goes down into the folder where it Is cut into papers anu folder. Ppress boys cart thousands CT copies of The Advertiser away to the mailing room as the big press continues its merry song.
 The pressman, like the locomotive en- ginccr. forms an attachment for the big machine which is the object of his care and as the wheels revolve at an amazing rate of speed, his trained mechanical eyes carefully scrutinize the wheels as they go round. while he stands at his post. Meanwhile his assistant is busy with the oil can and the tools.
 About an hour the great machine huns its merry tune and then the pressman glances at the register. It must be un- derstood that in addition to its other accomplishments, the press counts the parers which it prints. The circulation manager has informed the pressman the exact number of papers required and his eyes follow the register until the press tells him 1t in time to cult work.
 'Thatn do," he shouts to the man al the lever The electric current is turned off, the big press slows down and soon all is over.
 Then begins the work of cleaning UT the press and the room.

Scope.

In describing the scope of the Associated Press, the term worldwide is not too far fetCfed. Wherever man has penetrated there also is the field of the Associated Press wherever runs the slender matellic threads of the. telegraph, there also goes the Assoc ciated Press. Its sources of news may however, conveniently be di- vided under three heads.
 (a) The quota of news furnished by each member In the United States con sisting of a chronicle of happenings in that particular city and in a certain ter ritory adjacent thereto. Under this head is the nGws furnished hy upward of 700 daily newspapers throughout the country and comprising practically all the papers of the better class
 (h) News gather ed hy it's own regular and special correspondents. who are sent to all parts of the world to write upon specific events of importance For this purpose special ships and tugs are often chartered as in the case of the Hispano- American war, where the Associated Press tugs and yachts followed every
 movement Cf the fleets
 (c) Foreign news In addition to its own representatives in the capitals and ] principal cities of the Old World the Associated Press, for the sake of thor oughness. maintains contract relations with the news gathering bureaus pl aH the foreign countries. The more import ant of these agencies are the Agencie Havas for France. Portugal some DOT tions of South America and Switzerland; the Wolf agency of Germany, covering AustrIa-Hungary, Germany, Northern Europe and Russia; the Reuter- telegram | Company, for Great Britain and her pos sessions. Tn Canada the Canadian Pa cidc Railway Company; the Steffarie agency in Italy; the Norsky Telegram Bureau in Norway: the Nordischer con
 cern for Russia and the Agencie de Con
 stantinople in Turkey.
 In the United States the Associated
 Press furnishes it's news to its
 members over wires leased Inv if from
 the several commercial telegraph com
 panies and for the purpose of trarSmit- | ting and receiving this service, the As l sociated Press employs its own corps of

The paper used in printing the Sun day Advertiser if run out would reach from Montgomery to Wetumpka and back again, a distance of at least twenty-eight miles, and the press runs 1t out at the rate of twenty-one mnes per hour.
 The pressman--that's me-and his as- sistants start to get the press ready for work about 12:30 o'clock on the morning the paper is to be printed. The press is gone over and thoroughly cleaned. The miles upon miles of paper are gotten ready. The buckets of inks are put in the fountains. Then the press is examined and we see that it is in proper order for the run. This run" reminds one of a locomotive A press might we'll be com pared to a locomotive. It is required to make high speed and very often go-; against time.
 When the press Is ready and well oiled the plates are beginning to come from the stereotype room. Then as many as are ready are locked on the cylinders Of the press and as fast as the plates are made they are put on the press so that when the last plate or form as it Is called, is received in the atereotyping room 1t is rushed through and the plates arc received in about fifteen minutes af- rewards.
 Then comes the rush to get the last plate on the press and get started.
 The last plate is on. the ink rollers are put into place. Then there Is warning about Look out from the man at the starting lever. Every one about the press room knows to stand cleac. with a great whirr the bewildering mass of wheels revolve, ink rollers start to turn very slowly at first. then a little aster and faster until the low rumble of the press on slow speed grows into a roar If the pressman finds that every thing is all right the sign Is given to "open her out wide" There are a few screeches of protest from the heavy driv-

lation and inclining rather toward the conservative.
 Above all, the item must tell some thing-must carry on it's ia Q the reasons for being sent. To determine the fitness of an item requires a fine discrimina- ton and trained appreciation of what IS really news. An occurrence worth two columns and a triple-deck headline to a local paper may, perhaps be worth only two lines-or nothins-to the Associated Press, and conversely. a happening ap- parently trivial may possess features which render it disirable to cover at length.
 An analysis of an Associated Press dis patch usually reveals tho fact that what is told is stated in certain sequence. An effort is always made to give the es- sentials-to say what has really occurred in the first paragraph-in the first sen- tence if possible-following this with how it occurred, why it occurred, and so on with the several other details. An enort is also made to tell all that is worth telling, else the reader may be left, Ike one who has read "rhe Lady or the Tiger?" guessing. An Associated Press dispatch usually touches upon the points What? Who? When? Where? HOW! Why!
 At some points the Associated Press operator. in addition to receiving the ln' coming dispatches. also represents tho association in the collection and dissem- ination of news from particular terr- tory for which he receives an addilonal compensation. This is the case in Mont gomery. The Advertiser, as an lntegrl part of the Associated Press. furnishes the operator with copies of all this local neds together with the telegraphic ols- patches received from its small army or State correspondents.

They are assisted how ever. in matters of policy by an advisory hoard composed of the representatives oi the leading papers in their several dis l .rIcts.

called a cylinder machine or cylinder
 press. Presses of this type would print
 and automatically deliver at a speed of 1900 papers per hour, one side only.
 Then followed in the way of improve
 ment what was called the perfecting
 press. This machine was so constructed
 that 1t printed both sides of the paper
 in one passage through the press.
 It has been mentioned that 25O sheets
 or a token" per hour. printed on one
 side only represented the work of two
 men at the hand press. Two youths at
 a perfecting machine will complete from
 1,200 to 1000 copies per hour equal to
 4,000 impressions.
 The rotary press was suggested by
 Nicholson in 1790, but it was not put into
 successful operation, on account of the
 attempt to use bevelled type. The first
 successful rotary press was invented
 by Colonel Richard M. Hoe and was
 put into operation in 1st6. It had at first four impression cylinders and afterward six, eight, ten impression cylinders. The ten-cylinder press was first used on The Philadelphia Public Ledger. Many other of the leading American newspapers of that day had presses which made speed of about 20oo0 impressions an hour. The web projecting press is a press in which both sides of the sheet are placed on cylinders usually by plates and the paper is fed automatically from single web. The first practicable press of this kind was invented by William A. Bullock of Philadelphia in 1861 and was patented | in England 1n 1862. It completely revolu- tionized the printing press business. This press was first used on The cin- cinnati Times in 1881 and in 1869 MT. Walter of London after some years of experimenting brought out the Walter press. 1t was the same principle as the Bullock, with some minor details changed About 1870 Messrs Duncan X Wilson of Liverpool.
