TALKS TO STUDENTS.
Globe Man Gives Experiences OF a
Newspaper Man,


Newspaper Man,
Lawrence. Kan, April 2s.-Ed Howe,
of the Atchison Globe, addressed the
students of the university Friday aft
ernOOn in the chapel. It was at first
intended to have the address given in
Blake Hall, the physics lecture room,
but there was not room enough to ac-
commodate the crowd and il was nee
eSSary to change to the chapel. Glasses
were dismissed for the lecture.
Mr.. Howe's subject was, Some TX
periences of a Newspaper Man." and
the address was given as a part of the
course OF lectures for the school of jour-
nalism. recently established here. Mr..
Howe consumed most of his time in
relating his experiences with. the peo-
pie of Atchison since he started the
Globe twenty-Seven years ago. The
lecture was replete with funny stories
told in the speakers Characteristic
manner.
The principal advice which Mr.. Howe
gave to young aspirants for Journals
tic honOrs was first of all to get start
ed at work on a lively, wide awake
paper. and to behave properly. The
next step, according 10 the Atchison
man is to get acquainted with every
one in town. Mr.. Howe placed especial
stress upon the Importance of a wide
acquaintance.
Il go out into the streets of Atchison
every day. he said and see certain
which my paper contains. They are
the source of the news and the inspira-
ton for nearly all of my editorial par
agraphs. There is too much talk about
the coming man. He is here already.
and the thing to do is to know him. -
In speaking of preparation for news
paper work. Mr.. Howe said: The
greatest school of journalism in the
world is the country newspaper. The
best lectures I could give on the sub
ject are contained in my letters to my
sons who are running a little country
paper in Idaho for the sake of the ex-
perience, and they are making good
progress
Mr.. Howe's lecture was from the
standpoint, of country newspapers
man as have been nearly all the lee
lures in the course UP to date
II know nothing about a city paper.
except what / like and do not like he
said. The Sunday editions are
nuisance. The space might better be
filled up with interesting and instruc-
tive letters and articles than with
stories about. some woman who feeds
her pet dog from a gold plate"
During the next month the telegraph
editor of The Kansas City Journal and
Edgar T. Cutter, Kansas City CORE
spondent of the Associated Press, will
lecture before the journalism class
upon topics relating to the operation Of
metropolitan dailies and news syndi-
Gates.

SHIRTS OF LUXURY.
Made Always With Cuffs Attached,
But Not Commonly With Collars.


More and more men have their shirts
made with cuffs attached" said a dealer
in mems furnishing goods. but the pro-
portion of men who have their shirts
made with collars attached is small and
not increa sing.
''One reason for this lies in the diff
Guilty of getting shirts with collars at
tached Numbered perfectly. The best
laundry work in the country is of course,
done here. There are men in other cities
who send their linen to New York to be
Numbered. But still it is difficult to get
a shirt with collar attached done up per
fectly But a stronger reason for having
the collar separate is in the greater con-
venience of that method
For one thing, with separate collars a
man can wear different sorts of collars
with the same shirt and then he can have
his collars made to order, hand made and
of specially shrunk linen, collars that 1T
the shirt perfectly to start with and that
will not vary any from their original size
and shape in the laundering, and thus he
has collars that are perfect in adjustment
and practically as much a part of the
shirt as though they were attached. and
that can be kept always perfect in shape
and fit, and that have these advantages
combined with greater convenience.
And so the man of luxurious tastes
who buys whatever he wants IN shirts
without counting the cost buys his shirts
nowadays always with cuffs attached,
but, as a rule, without attached collars. -

derson, the Enterprise millionaire
Klondiker, IS reported as having lost
in the arbitration case, which involved
the ownership of one of his richest
Alaska gold mines. The arbitors de-
cided that the mine belongs to the
other party or rather the church, and
that Mr. Anderson pay over 1888, 00o
of the amount which was taken out of
the mine. According to the account
the mine was a Grub Stake" The
arbitors deducted all expenses and di-
vided the remainder. Mr.. Anderson
will take an appeal on the case his
friends say. as the arbitors did not
consider the evidence in the case. 1t
is said that a million dollars has been
taken from the mine.

New York. April 23.-There do not ap-
pear TO be any important issues develop
ing at present, which cast a new light
upon the stock market Even profess
sional speculation flags when there Is
nothing in the days happenings on which
to base it, The total dealings yesterday
fell to about a quarter Of million shares
and they were very poorly divided at
that. On the twenty stocks, which for
the past year have been the most active
OH the average, there were only desultory
and absolutely meaningless transactions
yesterday in at least ten. A number of
usually active stocks did not open at all
of their own accord. Some time during
the forenoon a specialist would make a
transaction with himself or with a
brother specialist merely TO get the stock
the tape in the hope that some little
business might result from it. The mar
ket is made up of seven or eight active
stocks and about fifty more usually very
inactive. There is no reason to think that
the bG statement today will stimulate
the market any more than it Is affected
by the changes of gold shipments from
day to day When money is a drug on
the market its operations are governed
by a very small percentage.

There was an unusual delay in the
work of paving last year because Of
the flood, and for this reason the city
really made money by not selling this
$122. 1896 bond issue when it tried TO
and failed. The city did not, as it turn
ed out, need the money to pay the
contractors as soon as it expected 10
need it, and it saved over $4,000 inter
est by keeping possession of the bonds.
Recently when sales of these bonds
have been made, the city has clipped
off all the matured coupons
As a general proposition. however,
it Will be better for the city to sell
off all the bonds in a bunch. as it
tried to do. because the contractors
prefer to get their pay in spot cash in
stead of in bonds which they have to
convert into cash. sometimes at a
loss. If the contractors think that
they are going to get their pay in
higher on the work to make up the
difference.
