In September.

There is faint haze over the land
scape these days in spite OF the bril-.
liancy of the sunlight, forerunner OF
the thRkening shadows of autumn
Daylight saving begins to lose some OF
its potency of appeal to early risers
and the dark shuts down an hour earli-
err than this time month ago Crisp
ness is in the morning and night air
in spite of the summers heat of noon
day, and prudent folk begin to plan
for heavier attire School looms on
the immediate foreground for teachers
pupils and parents. The sitting room
lamp instead Of the screened porch is
now the center of evening life. The
strioal advertisements have more
telling note than they did during July
and August. We are once more on the
threshold of the indoors season for
man in the north temperate zone.
Yet those of us who fall too closely
under this spell of Sinking the rigors
of outdoors as autumn comes miss the
second finest season of the year in the
open. The Scandinavians have a theory
that man should absorb all the heat of
the summer sun he can against the
chill Of winter. which is their avowed
reason for bathing a. Zorn shows them
in his well-known etchings Of the nude.
If this theory he true there is no time
when the benefieence of the suns RAYS
may be gathered into our bodies so
well a. in these gorgeous DAYS Of Sep
TENDER. This is the month in particu-
lar for walking. for the pedestrian art
can be practiced now without the dis
comfort attending il in summer time.
Motoring is at its best for the same
reason. And for the man who love the
woods and the shooting his year now
arrives at its prime.
With the coming of September a
certain type Of gourmet feels life is
worth living again with the advent Of
his beloved oyster This is the month
in which we may gratify our heliotrop-
v instincts to the last fulfllment
against the assaults of winter with its
inevitable dulling Of our nervous svs-
tens by confinement indoors. In Sep
temher there are still few half holt
days left. And for them. men and
women should take as their motto:
Get out into the open. The physical
benefits Of such q course may not seem
very important bat they are certain.

Pleads Guilty to Man

Into Court
SUDDEN TERMINATION
OF MURDER TRIAL
Meads Showed an Entire
Lack of Emotion as Sen
tence Is Pronounced

Woodsville, n. H., Sept Is. Robert
T. Meads of La Grange H., the Dart
mouth college junior who shot and
killed Henry e. Maroney of Medford,
Mass, a fellow student, after drink

June, pleaded guilty to manslaughter
yesterday, He was sentenced to serve
Is to 20 years at hard labor in the
state prison.
Meads plea and the sentence came
Unexpectedly In advance of his indict
ment by the Grafton county jury Tues
day, trial had been set for next Mon
day and the state made preparations
for the trial, with interest in the case
keen because Of expected disclosures re-
garding the smuggling Of whiskey into
Dartmouth college during the last col
lege year.
The grand iury's indictment was for
murder, and young Meads was brought
over from the county jail, where he has
been prisoner since June, in the au-
tomobile of his father, A. H. Meads of
Chicago. a lawyer, to make the formal
answer to the indictment yesterday
afternoon. At the direction of the
court, the Indictment for murder was
read. and the former student was
asked his plea. Coolly he replied. Il
plead guilty of manslaughter This in
dictment was handed to Judge John Z.
Allen OF Keene, who was presiding, and
he passed down to the clerk his writ
ten sentence of not less than ID or
more than 20 years at hard labor in
state prison.
Again Meads showed an entire lack
of emotion, hearing the sentence with
out any show of feeling. His father
spoke with him, and after few min
utes he was returned to the Jail. There
his mother and sister who have lived
nearby all summer, awaited him.
Maroney, a senior, who had passed
all his examinations and, with class
mates, was celebrating the approach
ing commencement with a spree, was
killed by Meads in Maroney's room on
the college campus in the early morn.

the price. in the course of which. part
of Meads' stock was taken without |

is not entirely due to the picture lik,

has its first page where the English

The price of each of the New York
weeklies is by agreement among them
selves SO a year. The dailies OF San
Francisco are IS or 50 year, according
to whether a. Sunday paper is printed.
The circulation of the most popular of
the New York papers lies between 5000
and 10000, that of the least prosperous
between 1000 and 1900. A great part
of this circulation is in other cities,
other countries and in China. Possibly
not more than one -tenth of the eircu-
lation is in the city of New York. For
this reason the news printed in them is
OF a general character. International
affairs, politics, anything concerning
China or Japan and the status of Chi.

the reader.
The three New York papers are par.

like the Young China of San Francisco,
is the organ of the Chinese National
league, an organization representing
the democratic ideals of new China.
The Chinese Republic News of New
York and the Chinese Republic Journal
of San Francisco represent the views
OF a secret party devoted to the inter

CHINESE PAPERS nv NEW
YORK AND FRISCO
Weird Characters Read in Columns
from the Top to the
Bottom.

New York shares with San Francisco
the distinction of printing the only Chi
nese newspapers in this country. The
California city supports four daily pa
pers, New York three weeklies. The
three New York establishments. all sit
uated in or about the abundantly sd-
vertised Chinatown district, meet the
peculiar Typographical difficulties of
printing in Chinese in virtually the
same manner
Zach possesses one big font of type
arranged upon two inclined tiers of
cases facing each other Each OF these
is between 20 and 30 feet long and is
perhaps eight in depth Upon these are
arranged the 1000 or 5000 distinct
types necessary to print in the Chinese
system of writing. which embodies that
number of separate word symbols. The
eases are divided into sections about is
BY Is inches in size. these again are
subdivided into horizontal rows. and
the rows into small compartments for
the types of each different character.
Setting up from the bewildering eX-
panse of type boxes is accomplished by
hand, the typesetter walking back and
forth before the cases, composing stick
in hand Although the types are ar
ranged or indexed according to a part
of the symbol. known as the root, it Is
easy to imagine that il is long and
difficult task TO become a rapid oper-
ator Such words as remainder TO
keep in store" and ito die" may fall
in the same row, vet in the main the
process is one of hunting for each Sic
ceeding word.
Fortunately, there are no capitals or
small letters in Chinese. and hence no
upper and lower case TO confuse the CD
orator and multiply the clumsiness Of
the printing outfit. The size of type
used for ordinary reading matter CORE
spends roughly to English ls-point or
great primer type. In addition TO the
main font, each establishment has sew
ersl subsidiary fonts Of smaller and
larger types, each containing all the
chTacters, but not in such abundant
repetitions a. in the main font. and
hence not occupying such an astonish
ing space. All the type is imported
from China.
