HOW HE MISSED A BEAT.
A Reporter Tells an Interesting Story
About Henry Ward Becchcr.


About Henry Ward Becchcr.
Not long ago the writer while ex-
changing experiences with a we'll
known Brooklyn newspaper man,
heard a very interesting story in con-
nection with the last illness of the
famous pastor of Plymouth Church,
Henry Ward Beecher
Il had regular assignment" be-
gan my friend, Ito cover the Friday
night prayer meetings at Plymouth
Church They were of more than
ordinary interest and many a good
story l got for my paper.
ION the particular Friday in ques-
ton, several men were sick or off
or something, big story broke loose
in the Eastern District and the city
editor told me that he guessed I'd
have to let the Plymouth prayer
meeting so and take the assignment
referred to-
Well, 1 took it, and by doing so
missed the chance to score a beat for
my paper that should have added at
least $40 per to my salary.
That night Mr.. Beecher did not
appear at the prayer meeting, it be-
ing announced that he was i'll. Now
there were reporters there, but they
failed to grasp the Importance of this
information and 1t was passed by
practically unnoticed.
'As a matter OF fact the great
preacher had paralytic stroke and
IL was not till late the following night
that an outside newspaper man
picked up the information, hustled
himself into a cab and hurried to
the office of one of the big New York
papers and sold his story, the paper
in question scoring a clean beat.
Mr.. Beecher never again left his
bed. 1t seemed to be the working Of
fate that l should cover that prayer
meeting month after month without
missing a session, and then wind up
by being beaten by an outside re-
porter.
This simply goes to show that it
is a very risky thing to leave an as
signment uncovered. Since / have
given up the reporting act myself to
direct the work of others, / always
keep in mind the chance ] had for a
big scoop and lost it,
II could name other instances that
have come under my observation. but
they arc of minor Importance. It is
not a safe thing, however, to pass up
assignments because they do not look
promising. We can never tell what
Is going to break loose I'm department
work, and the only safe thing to do
is TO be always on the spot"

New York, Aug 16 - Bradstreets re-
view Of the state Of trade tomorrow
will say:
Growing crops show further good prog
ress toward harvest. and fail trade tends
TO expand at leading Western and Eastern
jobbing centers. Best reports naturally
come from sections nearest surplus crop
moving regions, as. for instance, the
Northwest and Southwest. and there Is
nc apparent decline in the demand visible
in those sections. but the influence of
tight money. stock market unsettlement
and the telegraph strike are visible, more
especially in the East. where conserva-
tism as TO buying for future needs is
more Immediately IN evidence, confirmed
as this feeling is by knowledge of the
already large volume Of orders secured.
Gross currents are visible in different
industries Thus. while finished cotton
fabrics are in demand and some makes,
notably bleached goods, have been fur
Their advanced. there are reports OF small
CT demand and lower prices for cotton
yarns. Again, in wooden gsods. while
high grade worsted and fine wooden fab
rics have sold well, other grades are
slower Of sale, and there is talk of accu-
mutation.
In the leather trade there is more
life than of late, and good quality leather
and hides are on better sales, as are also
high class shoes; low grades are slower
of sale, and Eastern shipments so far
are per cent behind 1906. In iron and
steel the lack of new buying is still nota-
bic, and prices tend to ease as the mills
and furnaces find deliveries easier to
make"

New York, Aug 16-R G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow VIII
say:
Lower prices Tor railway securities than
at any time since July 1, 1904, greater
stringency in the money market, and the
telegraph strike were the weeks adverse
factors. Offset by many favorable reports
of jobbing trade, manufacturing activity,
rapid progress Of the crops, and remarka-
bly, prompt collections, considering the
scarcity Of money. Undue significance
was given the Pope failure. which, as In
the case Of the Mlliken assignment in
June, was caused by monetary pressure,
and not lack Of business. Irregularity at
the leading commodity exchanges re-
suited from poor wire service, but there
was little net change in prices. Reports
from the interior are almost unanimous
in telling Of active current trade and
bright prospects for fan and winter Most
leading industries have orders covering
output for months in advance and new
records Of production are constantly
noted
Much New Business in Iron.
Much new business has appeared in the
market for iron and steel during the past
week. The least favorable reports are re-
ceived from tin plate mills. A short fruit
crop has restricted purchases by canning
interests, but activity is expected with the
maturity Of tomatoes and corn. Pig iron
furnaces also complain that new contracts
are not abundant, yet IL may be noticed
that substantial concessions IN prices are
not offered.
Activity continued az cotton mills.
and jobbers report an increase in store
business, while advices from the West
indicate n larger advance business than
was anticipated Buying al first hand is
less active. as might be expected after
