nocent milk men were the actual
offenders.
Fifteen Italians, who came here from
Glens Falls, N. Y, to work on the job
of reconstruction of the passenger
station and the necessary outlying work
supposed to be done this fall, and who
started work Thursday morning, quit
and struck at five O'Clock Thursday
night. They claimed that they had
been hired to work only nine hours a
day and wouldn't do another tap after
five O'Clock. The boss tried to induce
them to continue work, but they unani-
mously refused. Some of them re-
turned to Glens Falls on the night train
and others went on Friday morning.
Fearing that the incensed men might
be inclined to some malicious damage,
Chief of Police Marshall T. Butterfeld
got a posse of-policemen together to
watch in the vicinity of the work Thurs
day night, but no damage was done and
everything passed off in a peaceable
manner. In the meanwhile, another
large gang of Italians arrived here to
continue the work.

THE ORIGIN OF NEWSPAPERS
introduced to the World by the Ro.
mans and first Published in
SO Before Christ.

Thought 1t has often been said that
China is the land where the history
of newspapers began, the credit real
belongs to the Romans. As early
as the year 80 b. G. julius Caesar
founded the first newspaper in the
world This paper was called Acta
Populi Romani Diurna, which would
be translated Daily Records of the
Roman people The copies were dis
tributed in the provinces of the Ro.
man empire, which at that time in.
Guided what are now Spain, France,
Germany, Greece and other countries
along the Mediterranean.
This Roman newspaper contained
leading articles about important leg.
islative events, battles fought ctc. :;
also news of various kinds. Copies Of
those newspapers have not been pre-.
served, but in some of the works of
ap ,ent writer's fragments of the Ac.
to Diurna have been published, which
led to the celebrated Justification Of
the "Fragmenta Dodwelliana" in the
fifteenth century, wherein fragments
OF old Roman newspapers were skin.
fully initiated in accordance with The
descriptions of them contained in an.
cient historical works.
The Picking Gazette, which was
thought to be the first newspaper in
the world, was published for the first
time in 9ll and has been regularly
published up to the present time. Its
present form and makeup generally
are the same as the original issue
nearly thousand years ago. 1t is ten
inches in length and four inches in
width The leaves of which there are
eighteen, are of soft, thin paper with
uncut edges, and they are printed in
Chinese characters on one side only
These sheets are inclosed in a thin
yellow cover and are fastened AT the
back with a few light stitches. Dur.
ing the latter part of the eighteenth
century the paper was printed in the
imperial palace from movable types
OF "copper" arterward from wax tab.
lets and for the past seventy years
