Brilliant Record Of a Newspaper Man. |

Brilliant Record Of Newspaper Man.
The success which has attended Will
liam q. Curtis, the famous correspond
ent of The Chicogo Record Herald, is
rarely attained by newspaper writers.
Beginning his career in Chicago in
1872 as reporter, he rapidly rose to the
position of managing editor. He re-
signed that position on receiving a
government appointment as secretary
of the South American commission.
Mr.. Curtis travelled extensively in Gen.
trail and South America while in this
position, producing several popular
volumes as the result Of his literary
labors. Afterward cooperating with
Secretary of State James G. Blaine,
Mr.. Curtis organized the work of the
bureau of American republics, with the
result that he was placed in charge of
that organization, and at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition he distinguished
himself by his labors as The executive
head of the American depart
ment. As correspondent of The Chi
cago Record Herald, Mr.. Curtis travels
have carried him into every section of
the United States as we'll as into all
quarters of the globe. His China and
Japan letters were published in book
form; likewise his letters from Eng
land, Germany and France, as we'll as
those written during his travels in
Mexico and South America.
No newspaper correspondent possess
ses the facility shown by Mr.. Curtis in
writing on any of the diversified sub
jects embraced in his correspondence
and making it luminous. Nor is any
correspondent followed so closely year
after year by the thousands of readers
of The Chicago Record Herald. On
his recent trip to the Holy Land Mr..
Curtis letters have been read more
closely than ever, and his descriptions
of that interesting section of the globe
as it appears to-day have been quoted
everywhere.

pears in The Chicago Record Herald

valuable supply Of water for gardening

quantity is often obtainable by in

Cossacks, was ordered by Gen. Kuro-
Datkin, August 81, to occupy the Yen

During the night, Orioff, with the
freshly arrived - European reserve
men came up and being Samsoff's
senior, took over the command at
this point. The next morning, before
on his own initiative, decided to at
tack Kuroki's extreme right and di-
