Ing company has Issued q million dol
lars worth Of bonds all Of which Mr.
Hearst retains. II later he should sell
any Of them that's his own AFFAIR.
presume the new company; will finance
the new paper which Mr.. Hearst is tc
start in Boston, where his venture will
surely have a big swing. >@
1t is a common mistake to-assume
that Boston is staid town, which in
sists upon things solid and lignified
It is really frivolous place, Just the
town to appreciate big headlines, while
the surrounding manufacturing vii
lagos are full of advanced political par
tisans, who are anything but conserva-
tivea Another advantage that Mr.
Hearst will gain by operating in Bos-
ton is that a new paper there will cut
on 10000 circulation which his New
York Evening Journal has there now.
It may seem odd to speak of cutting
of circulation as an advantage, but
that is precisely the case when, as with
the Evening Journal, the circulation
is already bigger than any local adver-
tiser will pay corresponding rates for.
Local advertisers are not much bene-
flied by circulation in Boston. By
starting a paper there Mr.. Hearst can
make the Boston advertisers pay for
circulation there; New York men
won't.
The Boston press is far inferior to
that of Chicago. where HearSt''s A,neri-
can stirred things up so theoretically;
competition will do it good. 1t will in
crease the pay of Boston newspaper
men, which is now low. Constant wars
of competition have had that effect in
New York, where the pay of competent
newspaper writers is probably the
highest in the world.

and knows the reason for every move.
He is popular and strong and has al
ready arrived at that envfable stage in
a senator's career where he has to be
consulted with regard to the adoption
Of any important party policy.
! Kittridge is one of the youngsters,
although he seems older than he is:
He was graduated at Yale in 1882 and
is only AZ years of age. He is a great
friend Of John Kean,t who left Yale
Is years before. He Is noted In the
senate for his good nature, for his
imperturability and an inscrutable
face, which would be. lnoney-maker
at poker table. IT,
He has an idea that 50 long as South
Dakota remains q republican state he
can remain in congress as a South
Dakota senator and he intends to make
the most Of that possibility. There
are too few senators nowadays who.
come to Washington with the idea Of
making this their permanent career.

there for four years and then
went to the British military school
at Greenwich, so that his great
achievement may properly be attrib-
uted in some degree, at any rate, to his
Anglo-saxon training. His wife, who
is Japanese, is Vassar graduate.
There are several naval officers in
washington who knew. Uriu at the
academy and who have run up against
MIN on occasions since that time. A
classmate of his was Joseph H. Leon
ara, naval constructor in the United
states navy. He says that three Japa-
nese boys entered the academy in 1871
and were graduated in 1881. They
were Tasuka Serata, Sotokichi Uriu
and Yenoske 1nouye. All of them have
made fine records in the japanese navy.
Serata died an admiral, just year ago.
Both he and Uriu distinguished them
selves In the war between Japan and
China. At the academy they were very
religious; both of them were members
OF the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton.
The Japanese officers were lucky
enough to receive very rapid advance
ment when they got home and some of
them were rear admirals while their
American classmates were still drudg-
ing along with the single bars of lieu
tenants. This made it little bit en-
barrassing for the American naval Of
hcers who met their old japanese
friends while touring on the Asiatlc
station, but they INDUCED freely in
Saku and champagne, called each other
by their old academy nicknames and
lived over the old days together. Uriu
was the most dignified of the lot.

dinner, have put their heads togethr
and have arrived at very gratifying
conclusion.
1t seemed a little hard that such dis
tinguished dignitaries as the chief JUS
tice of the supreme court, the speaker
of the house of Representatives. the 7ad-
miral of the navy and the lieutenant
general of the army should be COM
PEELED by the rules of social preced-
ence to wait in line at the white house
reception until a miscellaneous collec-
ton of ambassadors and diplomats had
been ushered into the presence. 1t is
no wonder that the supreme court JUS
tees who were the first to run up
against the edict of the social arbiters
should file an indignant protest. So
Adee and McCawley got into conjunc-
ton and evolved scheme by which
everybody will be satisfied.
At the reception given in honor of
the diplomatic corps, the diplomats
will head the line. Nobody objects to
that. At. the other three receptions,
that to the judiciary, to congress and
to the army and navy, the diplomats
will not be in line at all. They will
form a little group by themselves in
the oval of the blue room in front of
the door, where the president stands
and they will watch the procession go
by. Thus they will be hon ored specta-
tors and they will not interfere with
anybody. Everybody will be satisfied
and the game can 70 on.

and file did not of course get such ex-
traordinarily advances. They came
floating in from other cities, some
from far California. And they woke
up the town again. Some of those
men have found that when their con-
tracts expired their services were less
valuable. But it is not Mr.. Hearst's
fault that they did not save their
money while they were getting It.
St. Louis and San Francisco having
aided in the education of New York,
along came man from CHATTANOOGA,
Mr. Ochs, and turned the New York
Times into a one-cent paper He also
taught New York to think. New York
thought it thought the experiment a
failure. But Mr.. Ochs, without sacri-
ficing the quality of his paper has run
it up to nearly 100000 circulation, and
now has combined the Times and Led
ger of Philadelphia into a strong pa
per, besides building a 16-story home
for his New York paper. So much for
Chattanooga.
The latest instructor in journalism

The Commercial Advertiser is the old

they wish.
1t is the correct thing in New York
for very wealthy bachelors to dwell
in mansions of their own and there
entertain. Mr.. James Henry Smith,
soon to erect house remarkable
enough to suit remarkable man.
Mr.. Smith was almost unheard of
up to the time when his bachelor uncle
died. in London few years ago, leav-
ing to the nephew an estate which paid
the greatest succession tax on record
in the British metropolis. Since then
Mr.. Smith has come rapidly forward
in social circles in New. York, and has
had the best of chaperonage for his
lavish entertainments and his new
house will doubtless be the scene of
highly considered functions Mr..
Smith is one Of the heaviest owners
in the st. Paul and others western
lines and is credited with acting in
harmony with the Standard Oil party
in their administration. He is anxious
~, but with scant hope, eyed by New
York mammas as the most desirable
match in the city.
The house Mr.. Smith is to build will
be remarkable. In the first place a
seven-story hotel was pulled down to
make room for it, as part of the ex-
traordinary campaign which a few mil
lionaires have undertaken to prevent
trade from going up the avenue beyond
the house of Miss Helen Gould. In
the second place, it will be the most
conspicuous example in the city of
tasteful and lavish decoration; for the
commission for its erection was not
given to any architect, but to firm of
decorators.
