Misled as TO AdrianopIe.

The Bulgarians have now discovered
they have been completely misled in
regard to the conditions prevailing in
the beleaguered Turkish fortress of
Adrianople, and have decided a prompt
change Of policy is necessary. Two
weeks ago they were informed that the
fall of the fortress could be expected
hourly Now it is learned that Shukri
Pasha. the Turkish commander at Ad.
rianople, has been able to eeonomizc
the supplies of the fortress To such an
extent that the garrison will be able
To resist perhaps for several months
more. Shukri Pasha, IL appears, de-
luded the Eulgarians by means Of
false reports spread by supposed de-
serters who reached the Bulgarian
lines drawn around the city.

NEWSPAPER MAKING.
And the Marvel Is That So Few Errors
Occur.

The real wonder of newspaper making
is not that some errors occur but that
relatively these are so few. Consider
facts Between eight in the morning
and $50 in the afternoon the New Lead
err gathers in the city or receives from
its correspondents by telegraph and by
mail 10 full pages Of news In these 10
pages are to he found some 573,5o0 al
phabct letters, every one Of which has
to be written hv hand or by typewriter
or received over the telegraph wire.
These have to be set on the machines
and have to be corrected at time
when every second counts. When it is
remembered that this is done i'm about
seven hours, and that the number of
words handled every day is in excess Of
those printed iii the average novel, even
relative accuracy is remarkable. When,
as often happens, the number of typo
graphical errors in 81 900 characters
printed Q a page can be counted on the
fingers of one hand, the achievement is
a marvel.
The same is true Of the contents Of
what is printed. Measurements Of fact
there are inevitable in every issue Of
every newspaper, but how few these are
and how unimportant in the main when
the conditions are taken into account
/ The average city representative of a
paper like the News Leader interviews
+ dozens OF people during the course OF n
morning and must never show the pres
sure of time in talking with amy of
them. He returns to his Office before
noon and writes ut breakucrk speed
from Scantv notes the substance Of
what he has gathered during the morn
ing. Occasionally he makes an error
but in the vast majority of all eases
despite his hurry, the errors attributed
to him are made by those who give him
information. Indeed, it would be well
for some of those who criticize the in
accuracy of newspaper writer's to try fol
n single morning the task a newspaper
reporter accomplishes every day. There
would be errors enough to bring a hun
dred libel suits and mistakes enough t.

earlier than usual with - extra clerks,
and it was planned to remain open I'M
til midnight if necessary to handle the
business. The business situation con-
fronting the owners today is the re
verse of what it was four years ago,
when the Payne Aldrich law became eff
fective. Then, instead of holding goods
in bond to he released unGer reduced
rates, steamships raced to the ports to
unload commodities on which the high
or rates of duties were to he charged.
