New York, June 9.-Samuel J..

graphers are looking TO pull on vic
tory for them In their fight with the
big telegraph companies, IL one OF the
busiest men In New York these days.
Next Wednesday is likely to the cru

directors OF the employing companies
will meet and it's up TO Small TO make
plea TO them that they cannot re-
sist. Small is q man OF contradic-
tions. Physically he is just what his
name says. but mentally he is not. his
manner is very quiet. but he really Is
the big noise among the key FOUNDERS.
He doesn't appear TO be aggressive
perhaps he is not-but he certainly
does not lack determination and ten
acity. The employers have found that
out. For three weeks he has been
hard at work In his rooms at the old
Astor house, midway between the gem
eral offices Of the Western Union and
Postal companies. He is reticent, al
most secretive. He has little to say

IDEAL NEWSPAPER FICTION.

: Stories of newspaper scoops on
matters Of current news are many,
but II Is seldom that newspaper can
claim a beat upon a popular novel.
Such triumph In the discovery OF q
popular novel was recorded recently
by The Chicago Record-Herald when
1t printed serially "The Wings OF the
Morning" by Louis Tracy. The judg-
ment OF the paper has since been
verified by the unprecedented sale the
book has had both In the United
States and in England. The Record
Herald's keen judgment In fiction en-
ables iis readers to get the best nov

the right amount daily and Sunday
makes II a pleasure to follow its Sc
rials.
A radical departure In Sunday
journalism was marked by the advent
Of the Sunday Magazine Of The Rec-.

(By George U. Marvin.)

Wy oNS'es " t'a"' ''h'y
Columbus, o., June 9.-The mystery
concerning picture which hung on
the walls In the rotunda OF the state
house has been solved at last. II is
discovered to be a portrait OF Former
United States Senator Benjamin Wade
Of Ashtabula county. For some time
there has been some speculation
among the state house attaches as TO
whom the portrait represented, and Il
was not until Opha Moore. OF the Gov
ernor's Office. discovered It to be the
picture OF Mr.. Wade that the matter
was settled. II seems that the por-
trait was presented 10 the state dur
ing the administration OF Governor
Bushnell, and hung on the reception
room walls In the Governors once for
a time. 1t was taken down during
Governor Nash's administration, and
placed in the rotunda. Until Mr..
Moore made the discovery that II was
the portrait OF Wade II was believed
among the people in the state house
that 1t was the picture OF former
governor. although they could not tell
who.

zoAR.

Zoar, o., June s.-The concert OF
the Fiala Military band was a pro-
nounced success. Although the wealth
er was not good, yet there was large
audience. Young Kessler's clarinet
solo took the people by storm.
The beautiful weather on Decora-
tIon day brought many visitors to
town, whore the principal amusement
was "fisch fsngen." The greater part
OF the people of the village did the
same, except those whose business
necessarily kept them at their posts,
and the few others who think that
the earth will not turn round on its
axis when they take day on.
Gustav Schumacher, OF Leesdale,
Pa, was a guest at the Zoar hotel
few days last week. Mr.. Schumacher
IS well known TO our people, having
been cooper for the society for many
years. He lives now on the fruits OF
his labors In youth, having retired
from actual business.
Paulina Bimeler and Erna Beuter

other day to look after his interests.
Peter is a hustler. and being a skill
ful flour miller, he has all to do that
