that it was tabled until the next meet ing.
 Extensions favored and endorsed were as follows: Brooklawn, to Strat- field church; Hallett street, Barnum avenue to Old Mill Green; Main street, to the T17umbull line; Spruce street, to Burr Creek, and Howard avenue, from State street to Cedar Creek. The city's representatives at Hartford were instructed to do what they could to secure the necessary permission for the Connecticut Go. or the Connecti- cut Railway &. Lighting Company to build these extensions.
 Alderman Paddock vigorously op- posed the proposition to extend troll ley tracks from Barnum avenue over Central avenue. He argued that the principal reason urged for the building of these tracks was to make the hos pital more accessible. If that is so, Mill Hill avenue is the only logical route. The Streets and Sidewalks committee was instructed to report on the merits of the routes at the next meeting.

 William Iieberum and number of undertakers objected to sprinkling the streets with oil, as did also the Peck & Lines Co.,. representing the livery men. the latter claiming their car riages, etc., were badly damaged by the oil, thereby reducing their legiti- mate profits.
 Alderman Primrose introduced a res olution directing the city attorney to make search of the titles of property along the southern portion of Iranistan avenue to see if the city could get onto the Barnum dike legally. This was adopted without opposition.

Glorious Rain at NARROW,

NARROW, July l7.-Last Saturday al-
ternoon the country just west and
southwest of NARROW was visited by
a fine rain, in fact the best rain the
country has seen in most three years.
Sunday morning NARROW and the
country east was visited by a steady
down-pour for a few hours. The rain
Sunday also extended to the country
on the west side. While most all the
old corn has been ruined by the dry
weather. farmers are planting all
kinds of feed crops and the cotton is
still doing well with few exceptions.
Taken altogether, the country has a
fine chance to recover to a slight eX-
tent, the fearful damage done by the
drouth. June corn, cane, maize, kaffir
and other late feed crops will do well
yet if the rains continue, and with

across the Styx and visit the office of
metropolitan newspaper, he would
look with awe at the mighty presses
pouring forth from masses of whirl-
ing cylinders steady streams of TWEEN
ty-four page papers, all printed, cut,
pasted and counted at the rate Of from
10000 to 100000 an hour.
In the composing room he would
find that the cases from which the
old-fashioned printer set the type>had
been discarded for the linotype and
monotype.
Should he visit the editorial depart
ment, he would behold the impossible
men taking messages by telegraph
from the most distant cities and coun-
tries over copper wires, and others
actually talking with people they can
not see hundreds and event thousands
of miles away.
SO swiftly are changes made in the
equipment of the modern newspaper
that within half a century every type
of machine now in use will have been
discarded.

CHANGES SERVICE
FIRST NEWSPAPER
CAMPBELL'S NEWS LETTER WAS
FIRST-GROWTH TO 24,235 Pc
RlODlCALS.

1t seems hardly possible that two
hundred and seven years have passed
since John Campbell launched the
Boston News Letter, Americas first
regularly issued newspaper. On April
a, 1904, he published the initial copy
of his pioneer journal, an event of
such great importance that Boston be-
came known ever after as a literary
center.
Campbell, who was postmaster Of
the town, retained a monopoly of the
field until 1919, when the Boston Ga
zette made its appearance. The rivalry
between the News Letter and the Ga
zette was hot and bitter, but in the
end the Gazette was driven out Of
business. Although, within the next
few years other newspapers were
founded the News Letter kept on the
even tenor of its way for seventy
two years, when It came to its end
with the British evacuation of Bos
ton.
The first number Of the News Let
ter. which was a weekly, consisted of
single half-sheet printed on both
sides, two columns to the page. Three
quarters of the space was taken up
with British politics and an account
OF the opening of parliament. The
local news consisted of three short
paragraphs. New York was represent
ed by two items, Providence two, New
London by one, and Philadelphia by
two. In the lower corner of the last
page appeared the first advertisement
printed on American soil
CirculationS in those early newspa-
per days did not count for much The
News Letter had been in existence
twenty years before it had secured
800 subscribers. The newspaper was
a new thing and as the thrifty Bos-
tonians We're, as a rule, opposed to
innovations. it took many years of
patient work to convince them that
they ought 10 buy and read their local
paper, says the Editor and Publisher.
Although the spread of Journalism
was slow. when the News Letter sus-
pended publication in 1916, there were
in Massachusetts, seven newspapers;
in New Hampshire, one; in Rhode
Island. one: in Connecticut, three; in
Pennsylvania. eight; in New York,
three: in Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina, two each; in South
Carolina. three; in Georgia, one; or a
total of 3S. all weeklies.
According to Ayers Newspaper An
nutl of 1911, there are in the United
States at the present time 24,2S5 pc
riodicals, of which 2,614 are dailies
and 1890 are weeklies.

Detroit, Mich, July 1S.-"Welcome
to our fair city" was The slogan sound
ed today by representatives OF the
municipal and state governments, the
board of commerce and the newspa-
pers of Detroit at the opening session
of the twenty-siXth annual convention
OF the National Editorial association.
The welcome mat was displayed at
the door of the Hotel Pontchartrain,
the official headquarters of the gather
ing of the nations scribes, and Edgar
A. Guest, poet laureate of Detroit,
sung his sweetest in honor of the vis-'
iting editors.
Milton II. McRea, long prominent in
American journalism as the associate
of James f. Scripps in the Scripps-
McRae league of newspapers, vel
coined the fourth estaters, both as a
journalist and as president of the
Detroit board of commerce. Twenty
five years ago Nc McRae, then the
head of the Cincinnati Post, was the
/ chairman of the reception committee
that welcomed the delegates to the
second annual convention of the Ma
! tional Editorial association, held in
| Cincinnati. J. p. Baumgartner of
/ Santa Ana, Cal, president Of the as
sociation. responded to the addresses
OF welcome.
The National Editorial association
was founded in 1885 by Col. B. b. Her
bert. editor of the National Printer
Journal of Chicago. 1t has met only
once before in Detroit and that was
] twenty-five years ago. SiXtyfour state
and sectional editorial associations
are affiliated with the national body
and all have sent delegates to the
meeting convened today. The mem
borship includes editors of metropoli-
tan dalies and country weeklies.
The closing session will be held on
Thursday and afterward many of the
delegates will go on an excursion to
Quebec and intermediate points in
Canada. This trip will afford an OPP
4 portunity TO investigate the reciproc-
ity question from the Canadian view
point. Between sessions in Detroit
there will he motor rides about De-
troit, visits to the great automobile
factories, and a steam trip.
What shall we do with the press
agents and seekers of free publicity? ?
is one of the burning issues before
the convention. As Detroit is the cen
( ter of automobile manufacturing,
which employs more press agents
than any other industry, not even eX-
Cepting preSidont-booming, the editors
will probably have an opportunity to
put their theories into practice. For
weeks the publicity promoters of De
trot have been pounding their type
writer's overtime. in order to lead up
the innocent editors with bright and
nowsy items about their particular
makes of cars. Although they give
their literary productions to the news
papers free of charge, many of the
editors are peevish on the press agent
subject and apply harsh epithets to
the philanthropic gentlemen. l.. b.
Palmer of New York. manager of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
sociatiou will address the convention
on the subject of Free Publicity

STORES UNDERsELL MAIL ORDER
HOUSES

While a certain number of people In
this community patroni2e the mail or
der houses of the large cities, the
great majority have found it cheaper
and much more satisfactory to deal
with our local merchants.
Occasionally the mail order concerns
omer genuine bargains, but their
prices on staple lines of goods such as
carried in stock here, are almost in
variably higher. An interesting dis
cussion on this very point took place
the other day
\ farmer came in to make some pur-
chases and remarked, III had time. |
would order these from--of CHICAGO.
! could save money by doing So
The merchant happened to have the
catalog of the firm in question and as
he pulled II from under the counter
he said:
"Tll bet YOU that by the time You
figure in the freight, my prices are the
lowest"
SO they carefully looked up the
prices of every article and found that
with one exception the local store was
actually underselling the mail order
house. The farmer discovered that he
had saved exactly S7.S5 by buying the
articles at home.
1t is much more convenient to deal
with the local stores. The goods are
delivered Immediately and there are
no annoying delays. no bothersomo
red tape no spending back and
forth when goods are not satisfactory.
