Mistakes of the Press

THE number of ludicrous blunders of the
press would fill volumes. In a French
newspaper appeared two separate paragraphs
which were, through a mistake on the part of
the editor, printed as one:

sician of the Charity Hospital Orders have
been ISSUED by the authorities for the I'M
mediate extension of the cemetery of Mount
Parnasse. The works are being executed with
the utmost despatch"
The following ridiculous anecdote is told of
the negligence of proot-readers. When Gov
ernor Mcdowell made a speech back in the
6os, the story turned IN by the reporter read

Mother of oIympia's Captain in the
Land Office.
There are some fine old women in
the service of the federal government,
and not the least of them is Mrs Ann
Gridley, clerk in the land office at
Washington. A short time ago she
celebrated the eightieth anniversary
of her birth. Mrs Gridley is the wild
ow of gallant naval officer, who lost
his life in the fight between the Moni-
tor and the Merrimac. Her son was
that brave captain of the Olympic who
figured in the battle Of Manila. For
forty years Mrs. Gridley has worked
faithfully at her desk, never missing a
day from her duties. She is always an
honored guest in Admiral Dewey's
home on Manila day, May 1, and for
two years she has been escorted to the
banquet by the admiral himself. Mrs.
Gridley scorns the idea of old-age pen
sions, and says she will keep on work
ing until she reaches the century
mark. The death of her grandson two
years ago saddened the old woman
more than any of her previous trou-
bles, but she has frightened up, and
on her recent anniversary she held a
levee.-New York Press.

EVIDENCE AGAINST PACKERS

IN PACKING HOUSE PROD
ucTs FOUND.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Contracts bearing
on a trust in packing house products
are said at the federal building to
have been discovered within the week
by secret service operatives. The
papers, it is reported, will be pro-
duced in the criminal trial of the in
| dicted packers if their plea of immuni-
ty is disregarded by the jury chosen
| for their preliminary trial. With this
| rumor comes announcement that the
| packers will not have to face the pre-
| liminary trial set for next Tuesday,
until Wednesday, Jan. IT,
Another important development is
| that the defense has engaged the law
firm of Herrick, Allen, Boyesen &
| counsel
| In connection with the rumor of the
| new discovery by the secret service
it is remembered by persons about the
| government building that an elderly
stranger has recently been a frequent
| visitor at the office of District Attor-
ney G. B. Morrison. 1t is from this
man, it is said, that the contracts
were secured. He is said to have
! once been prominent in the packing
| business. The man is said to have
stayed until the evidence in which he
was interested had all been secured
and then to have left the United
States.
Postponement of the Forthcoming
trial has its reason in the inability of
Attorney Miller to return from Wash
ington, where he is before the SUI
