FIRST NEWSPAPER.
German Exhibit of Seventeenth
Century Jour-
ais.

A newspaper exposition was held
recently at Frankfurt-am-Main,
Germany, which contains examples
of the world. The precision of the
modern newspaper may be seen in
the accounts" of the Frankfurt
fairs. Two of these were held an
nually. and during the events these
accounts" were issued narrating
the political events Of the time. They
began 1890 and lasted until 1906.
The first newspaper in Germany
and probably in the world, except
the Chinese Gazett, if it may be
called a newspaper, was published in
1909 in Strassburg. A whole years
issue are still extant. Shortly after
its appearance, in 1915, was founded
the Frankfurt Journal, which lived
257 years and was then sold to an
other newspaper of that city.
Germany led the nations in the
newspaper enterprise. But Vienna
had a journal in 1910, England in
1922, Italy in 1880, France in 1881,
Spain in 1861 and Russia in 1903.
OF the old German newspapers
there exist to-day four dating back
to the seventeenth century-one at
Koenigsberg. founded in 1910; one
at Magdeburg, founded IN 1927; one
at Sena, founded in l647, and the
oldest of all at Heilbronn. founded in
1920.

American WaStefulnesS.

An industrial journal correspon-
dent tells of seeing three SS-a-week
young fellows, all smoking cigars,
all sitting in a row in show-black-
ing place, each getting a shine"
and all going thence to barber to
be shaved. Then it figured out that
neither of the three things was a
necessity of life. Smoking might
wait on better ability to pay and
each might "shine" his own shoes
and shave himself. Yet their prac-
tice costs each so cents a week. at
least, or S26 year, which is more
than 5 per cent. interest on $500.
True enough. This is a fair illustra-
ton of the difference between Amer
lean wastfulness and the thrift any
one may see in nearly every civilized
country on the globe save ours alone.

Doubtless the first thoughts of
light headed society women and
chorus girls when they teard of the
suffering caused by the calamity was
what will those poor creatures do

the things these beings prize most in

prove a windfall to the naked, any

Needed a New Liver.

"Old Hunker" Mclaughlin was a
well-known character in Chelsea
some twenty-five years ago, says the
Boston Herald. At one time Hunk
er was ailing and called on the city
physician, who told him to wear a
liver pad, to be had at any drug
store. On inquiring the price, and
finding it high, he got his wife to
make one for him.
In about week he said: "Bridg-

THE RUINS OF AIRORIE,
Gen. Buel Was Victim of
Corporate Greed.
"A
Transportation Company De-
strOyed Prosperous Lit
tie City.

Recently, a party of nineteen from
Render and Mctlenry crossed Green
river at Paradise and walked down
one-half mile to Airdrie. the home
of the late Gen. Don Carlos Buel
There are $50 acres in the estate,
which belongs to his stepdaughter,
Miss Mamie Mason. of Louisville,
%o is the only living heir. On
rugged and picturesque hill 2p feet
above high water mark. stand the
ruins of the once famous Kentucky
town. which was noted principally
for its iron mines and smelling
works. With some difficulty We
ascended the hill by terraces and
after considerable putting and blow
ing we stood on ground still held
sacred by those who admired Gen.
Buel. There stood the old stone
building once filled with machinery,
with its many dark and mouldy
rooms at one end. and of which is
still standing the old smelling tower,
forty foot high. with the old rusty
iron tank quietly resting on its top
like sentinel, keeping watch over
the lonesome, dreary. desolate-look-
ing estate. In this building many
hands were employed in the days
&tore the war.
About 100 yards from this is the
dwelling once occupied by Ken
tucky's noted general. The storms
of time have changed this two-story
building Of dozen rooms from a
beautiful residence to dingy old
structure which does not look like
suitable abiding place for the man,
who, with $1,000 men saved Grant
and Sherman from the brave Con-
federates who were fighting under
the indomitable. chivalrous Albert
Sidney johnson at Shilch. and who.
with his army of 100. 600 men, chased
Bragg. who was invading Kentucky
with his powerful army and forty
mile wagon train. across the Tennes'
see line, yet our guide informed us
that such was the fact.
There in that old building is the
room in which Gen. Buel spent his
last days on earth and in which the
priests administered to him the last
rites of the Catholic church, he hav-
ipg joined that church ten days be-
Tore his death. The bed on which
he died is there with its linen covers,
Just as they were when he was re-
moved from it to his coffin. The
sheets and pillows in the same place,
have never been moved since he was
taken from the house a corpse. Ev-
erything about the place has a dreary
appearance and to look upon the
waste and dissolution makes one
lonesome and desirous of leaving at
once. One is impressed with the
fact that greatness vanishes with ev-
erything mortal.
When Gen. Buel took charge of
the works OF Airdrie for the Alex
ander company. after the war. the
future prospect of the town was
flattering, and doubtless to-day it
would have been thriving manu-
featuring village had not the state
sold Green river to the Green and
Barren Rivers Navigation company.
That famous or Infamous monopoly,
by its exorbitant charges and greed,
Soon shut off all profits on any of its
productions and Airdrie went down
and is what you see to-day-a manu-
featuring town in ruins.

Hats In Parliament.

History does not tell, so far as we
know, how it came about that men,
bers of the English parliment wear
their hats. The custom has descend
ed from an age when its proceedings
were not recorded, but one may sus-
pect that thereby hangs tale of
study and victorious revolt against
privilege, such as broke out at Ver-
sailles, could it be recovered. Now
and again we find an antique allu-
sion to the practice. When the COM
mons voted that every one should
uncover or stir or move his hat"
when the speaker expressed the
thanks of the house for any service
done by a member, Lord Falkland
stretched both his arms out and
clasped his hands together on the
crown of his hat and held it down
close to his head, that all might see
how odlous that fattery was TO

Bernard Shaw's Man and Supcrman." Edward Peple's The Prince Chap" Alfred Sutro's 'The Walls of Jericho and Henri Laveden's The Duel" The rest of the years plays, save Richard Mansfeld's production of Don Car los" take lower rank.
 These eight plays, generously patron ized through the several months of their runs, bear testimony to the ir creasing catholicity of taste on the part of New York theater goers. Similarity in subject and treatment exists be tween only two. '''The Girl of the Gold en West" and The Squaw Man." The others have no points in common. In fact, they cover almost tine entire range of what now passes under the name of stage literature.
 And in this new evidence of varied taste and the royal patronage of these plays at the expense of nearly all the others lies an indication of an inprOy- ing public intelligence as manifested in the theater. By the nature of things the drama can be no better, intellectu- ally. than the people who support it. Unlike it's sister arts. it exists in re- sponse to an immediate call. The Spe- cial plea for better plays may be sounded till dOOmSday, but they will not improve until the majority of those who support the theater demand them. The general public taste for the drama is law. and that this year. plays of ar tistic merit have been most successful is an encouraging sign.
 The greatest genuine enjoyment by the greatest number probably was dc rived from Peter Pan." the delicate and delightful fantasy by J. M. Barrie which was first warmed to life by the popularity of Miss Maude Adams; but, gradually becoming better understood, 1t pursued triumphant course on the basis of it's own substantial merits.

 Miss Sutton won the English cham pionship last season by defeating Miss D. K. Douglass. the defender, setless. in the challenge match. Shortly before the match the English woman had wrenched her right arm while at prac- tice. It was the opinion of the Eng fish followers of the sport that had their champion been in the best of trim Miss Sutton would have possibly fared differently. Approaching the ap- parent cloud on her title, Miss Sutton made her plans to again visit London and defend the championship against the winner of the tournament on tbe Wimbledon courts
