THE GREATEST REPORTER
THAT EVER LIVED"

Jersey Chamberlin, called by many
newspaper men the greatest reporter
that ever lived, acquired his journalistic
fame through service in the New York
Sun. VIII Irwin contributes an inter
esting article on the SIM to the Janu-
airy American Magazine. In speaking
of its most brilliant reporter, he says:
"Chamberlin's nickname came from
his first position on the Sun.-New Jer-
sey correspondent. He was a little man
in stature and careless of dress. He
looked said one who knew him, like
a plumber on his day off, but no one
ever talked to him for ten minutes
without understanding that he was a
great big man.
"Chamberlin put on the harness when
he was Is, and he died in harness at "a.
Following the Boxer expedition into
Pekin, he got a disease of the liver
which carried him off a few months
later at Carlsbad. There were three
Chamberlin brothers, all newspaper
men. and all died at work. Before he
left for that last venture, Chamberlin
promised his wife that he would write
home every day, giving her the by
product of his writing. He kept the
promise, and those letters, published
afterward under The title Ordered to
China are cherished by newspaper
men the country over.
"Chamberlin's stories are, on the
whole, less wonderful than his feats in
getting them. When Dewey came back
from the Spanish War to receive his
historic reception in New York, Cham
berlin volunteered to handle the story
all lone. The other newspapers sent
out an army of men to cover the cele-
bration at every point. Chamberlin
fought them single-handed, and did a
piece of work which is a model of it's
kind. The grasp, the mental accuracy,
and the energy involved in this piece
of work can be understood only by one
who has been a reporter"
