By o. o. M'INTYRE.

Special Correspondent Of the Herald
| New York Oct u.-COl. Henry Wat
\ terson expressed himself on saffron hued
| jOurnalisms in an entertaining fashion
! in the Surrogates Court here during the
/ appraisal of the estate Of the great ed
! itor, Joseph Pulitzer, owner OF the World
and the St Louis Post Dispatch. Al
though totally blind and almost helpless
from disease. il was estimated by COM
petent experts that Mr.. Pulitzer's ser
ices to his newspapers were worth
$4,000 a year. Col Watterson said:
There have several periods of yellow
journalism in New York. James Gordon
Bennett was the first yellow journalist
and Charles A. Dana was the second
and Joseph Pulitzer was the third and
finally Mr.. Hearst came along. He was
the fourth and l think Mr.. Hearst quite
filled and occupied the field OF yellow
journalism. AS Mr.. Bennett became more
respectable and Mr.. Dana became more
fixed in his efforts, 80 did Mr.. Pulitzer.
so that think that the field or yellow
journalism is completely filled by the
Hearst newspapers" 1t is interesting to
note in this connection that whether or
not the general public wants yellow"
journalism. the fact remains that the
Hearst Evening Journal has the largest
circulation Of any newspaper in New
York
There are some who believed that this
is going to be a hard winter for the
dansant. What with war and the old
high cost Of living just as high. II was
predicted that dancing would die out
as q craze. But the reverse Is true. The
dansant is destined to become more pop
ular than ever. according to George Hep
burn Wilson. NJ. B. Maitre de Danse.
AS Mr.. Wilson teaches the upper crust
OF New York society the latest steps
and knows their whims, he should be
regarded as an authority. He believes
that the steps for the coming winter are
more graceful, more healthful and will
be consequently more popular than ever.
He has Just returned from a trip prac-
tically around the world where he
viewed all Of the latest steps Of the
terpischorean art. Along Broadway roof
tops arrangements are being made for
busy dancing season. The roofs are
being enclosed and more space provided.
The more exclusive dancing studios on
Fifth Avenue are also getting ready for
a prosperous year. 1t has been estimated
by a statistician who is interested in
those things and has nothing else to do
that there are 5000 men and women over
sixty-five yers Of age who learned the |
new dances last winter.
The startling discovery has been made |
that vice does not pay in New York
There is the case of Max Hochstim. the |
East-Sider. with the reputation OF being |
the so-called King of the Vice Trust. |
Max has been reputed to be worth sew
eral millions and yet the other day he |
was brought face to face with the bank |
ruptcy court. Hochstim has for years |
conducted a cheap restaurant on the |
East Side, but his real vocation, accord |
ing to the police, was being monarch of
the underworld. He is supposed to have
known more crooks intimately than In
spector Byrnes in his palmiest day and
on account of this knowledge is said to
have often aided the police when the
proper pressure was brought to bear on
him. Hochstim is a dapper little man
and always well-dressed. His diamonds
have long been the envy of all of the
East Side gamblers HochstIm owes
more than $4,000 and to one of his cred
ilora he Wrote. II am ahaolufAlv nannileaa
