The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1903-09-19

During the Spanish-American war at
the time when patriotic enthusiasm was
81 It's highest pitch and when the people
were in a fever of excitement, one Of the
biggest newspaper scoops" in the his
tory of American journalism was made
by the New York journal on the New
York World.
The World had been for years the
leading big newspaper in New York, and
was prominently noted for its hustling
and progressive efforts to secure all OF
the important news events at the high
est risks and at enormous expenditures
of money.
But when William r.. Hearst, of Cal
ifornia, purchased the New York Jour
nal. then a smaller satellite in newspaper
realms of the big city, the World found
to its utter conformation that it had a
riral that bade fair to outdo the big
NEWSPAPER of New York city. Hearst
was 4 brainy young fellow with unlim-
tied fneaIts, and he set about to make a
hewspaper out Of the New York journal
that would outshine the World in get
ting the news.
when the Spanish-American war broke
out Hearst had so far perfected his jour
nalistic system, that the World found
out that they we're being beaten. The
,Io,rnal had n complete and Thorough ac-
count of all of the incident of the war
and got it into print several hours be-.
fore the Worlds dispatches came into
its office.
The World. in order to keep up with
the times, had to resort to desperate
means to get the news of the war, and,
as last resort, they began to fake
news dispatches from the editions OF the
Journal. The Journal became aware OF
the fact and planned to scheme to trap
the World in its thievery Of the news
The journal one day printed fake
dispatch from san Diego de Cuba III
which the heroic deeds of a .'Col. RefliPe
w. Thenews." were exploited. The World
stole the story, and its thicVery was
shown up to the people by an expose OF
the whole scIr~me. BY spelling the
coIoneI,s first name backwards and con
Meeting it with the surname the fake
told that I've Pilfer the News, and
the New York Journal caught the New
York World in one of the biggest news

called in Journalistic parlace. in the his
tory OF newspaperdom.
The Clnrksburg Daily Telegram, on ac-
count of due modesty, does not hN'

CONSIDER CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Treaty Was Amended by Foreign Re-
lations Committee.

Washington. Jan. 19.-The senate de-
voted two brief executive sessions today
TO the Cuban reciprocity treaty. At the
first session the treaty was read at length
and at the second session Senator Gull
lOm, who. as chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. had charge
Of the treaty, made a statement of it's
rurport and effect. Senator Bacon. also
a member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, gave notice that he would offer
some amendments 10 the treaty and ask
the privilege of making them public fol-
lowing the example of the senate in max
ing the treaty itself public This request
was denied, after much discussion on the
ground that it would be impolitic and I'M
wise.
Senator Cullom's discussion was ex-
haustive. He procured a mass of evil
dence to show the commerce between
the United States and Cuba. The treaty
as amended by the committee on foreign
relations wa smade public today. along
with the text of the treaty 1t shows an
important variation from the text of the

New York. Jan. 1e-Mayor Tom L
Johnson when questioned last night re-
garding the statement that he will be a
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for governor of Ohio this year, said:
II am not a candidate for the nominal
ton, and if any one has made any such
announcement as published in a Cincin-
natl paper, he has done so without my
authorization or approval.
He said he was not seeking such a
nomination as his duties as mayor Of
Cleveland and his own business affairs
were occupying his entire time and at
tention.. and that no one has any author
ity from him to say that he was candi-
date or would be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor Of

CUTICuRA
OINTMENT
Purest Of EmoI|ionts and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Dish9uring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointmentis beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss of hair, ever COM
pounded, in proof of which d single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the severer cases by dose of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points to speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantiie hui
Mours, and preserving, purifying and
identifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more efectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollents.
Its ''Instant relief for skin-tortured

ing or "One-night treatment of the
hands," or "Single treatment Of the
hair" or" L Sc after athletics" cycling,
golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any
sport, each in connection with the use
of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidenre
of this.
Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving. purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore
hands, for baby rashes, itchings and
chafings, as well as for all purposes of
the toilet, bath and nursery.
