his or her rights as a newspaper read
or, and for a liberal slice OF the large
newspaper,
$50 much for the readers, who have
thu first claim and whose members
form the real basis Of a successful jour
nal. How about the advertiser The
daily newspaper is the best medium
through which advertisers can reach
their patrons and increase their sales
and profits. II you print from 20 to
300 columns of advertising in single
issue how can you do II in y small
newspaper. The whole proposition is
so absurd that II is astonishing that
intelligent people persist in making it
topic of public discussion, We are
living now in the age of large things
In other words, gentlemen, this is no
longer a four-page world and four
mage civilization, and l think we are
all glad of It."
The speaker then showed that we can
never have the ideal newspaper. be-
cause journalists, like clergymen, law
yers, physicians and business men are
all human, with the limitation which
must control them in all their work.
He explained the growth of the Sunday
newspaper, which is merely meeting
the expanding wants of the reader and
the advertiser,
The speaker also touched upon the
charge that daily papers publish too
much of crime and scandal, In present
ing a mirror Of the events OF day it
is impossible not to include such events
within decent limitations, because of
the demand of all kinds of news in their
localities. He said:
The people themselves are the real
sensationalists, though unconscious OF
it. All the first reports of bank fail
ures, terrible accidents, fires, etc,
which are usually fearfully exasgerat-
ed, are started by the people them
selves and grow in size as they fly
from mouth TO mouth. The intelligent
reporter gets at The facts and the news
paper comes out with the truth and
sets thousand wild rumors at rest.

A BOSTON FOG.
stops Trains and Trolley Cars in city
of Intellect. ...

Boston, Jan. 29.-FOr several hours
last evening Boston was in the grip
of the most remarkable fog ever seen
here. Trains were stalled ard trolley
cars proceeded with much difficulty
Harbor navigation was dangerous and
pedestrians were forced to grope their
way along the streets. The peculiar
thing about the fog was that it was
confined wholly to the north end Of
the city and the suburbs on the north
elm side. In Adams square the sky was
bright and clear, but in Hanover street,
not two minutes walk away, the heavy.
choking mist, hung like pail.
The ferryboat John Hancock left her
slip in Boston bound for East Boston,
a quarter Of mile distant Two hours
and 20 minutes later she rammed war
vessel in the Charleston navy yard, a
mile out of her regular course.

Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep

almost superhuman virtues to success

economy have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies Of the
civilized world.

MOLAssES FjR HORSES.
Extensively Used IN Brooklyn-Better
and Cheaper Than Oats.

New York, Jan. 29.-Between 1000 and
500 horses in Brooklyn are being fed
on molasses because it is better and
cheaper than oats. This statement is
made by veterinary surgeon. who
adds that horses in harness from IL to
IA hours hours day do not take time
to masticate and properly prepare dry
oats and other fodder The result is
that the animals receive little nutri-
tive value from their food.
MoIasses, if properly diluted and
mixed with hay, bran and meal in prop
er proportions, is in digestible con-
dition and ready for assimilation the
moment it enters the mouth. It's nu-
tritive value is therefore quite appar-
tint. 1t is not only better md more nu-
tritious food than oats, but II is much
cheaper in the end.

MODERN JOURNALISM.
AZ Described by General Charles IL.
Taylor OF the BOSTON Globe.

Louisville, Jan. 2s.--Charies $,
Taylor, editor or the Boston Globe, was
the principal speaker at the banquet of
the Louisville board OF trade tonight.
Sail Mr.. Taylor: Journalism is a
topic on which Louisville, OF all places,
should need no instruction, but in
which she should have proud and in
telligent interest. Horo Prentiss, that
brilliant pioneer and New Englander,
like mystelf, helped blaze the way for
the modern newspapers. and here in
true apostolic succession Henry Wat
terson has won honor for my calling
and renown for your city, Among the
great editors of the old school Henry
Watterson was the peer of the greatest,
while we of the present day proudly
hail himas the ever youthful and all
ways unrivalled leader Of our Jour-
nalistlc 400.
The change in Journalism which has
come during his time and mine was
very well described by my old friend,
John Russell Young, few years ago,
when he said: The press is no longer
the expression of personal power. Thir-
ty or 40 years ago the newspaper was
teacher, the voice of one thinker, one
leader. Now 1t Is a university. As
much intellect is needed to disseminate
a journal as to govern Harvard or
Yale. The fly sheets of the earlier
days have given place to daily vol
uine which embodies the genius Of the
artist, the writer, the artiiicer and the
statesman
Some people explain that our news
papers are too large. This objection
Is difficult to meet. for the simple reas-
on that 1t is so unusual for custom
er to make a fuss because he is getting
too much for his money.
THE newspaper of today is like the
bill of fare in hotel. There is, or
should be, a table of contents which
shows the reader that which he most
desires to read. You do not go into
a hotel, pick up the bill of fare, begin
with the first item and eat every item
right down and die of apoplexy; on
the contrary, you select what you wish
and you should do just the same with
newspaper.
The expanded and expanding news
paper aims to meet the wants of all
classes. And this is what small news
paper will not do. Truly, the same pep
ers would be powerful rouser of pub
lie curiosity, but believe me, it would
satisfy no one, least of all, the busy
man. We hear from time to time that
the newspapers of the day are too large
for the busy man. don't believe ii.
The busy man is Just the man for the
big newspaper, as he is for other big
things, and most of the busy men of
my acquaintance go through two and
three and four newspapers every day.
They know how to despatch their read
ings as they know how to despatch all
their affairs, and if / could be guilty
of the folly Of putting small news
paper on the market should not look
for much sympathy among the men of
business
The small paper certainly would not
meet the requirements of the home.
There the spirit of American democra-
cy has emancipated the children as
wellas the women, until now every
member of the family stands up for
