boiublnucu of tho relationship mid associa

ed Hollo Meado stock farm, near Nash
vlllo, there Is ono of ;tho fow i-oniulnlnr?
typical old colored ".mammies." Bin H
known fur and wldo as "Aunt Sitsnnnn."
Famous pcoplo who lmvo been entertained
at Hello Meado liavo been delighted by
listeidnr to Aunt Simmnm's quaint philos
ophy, mid Charles Dudley Warner, after
u visit to tho placo, wroto a licaiitiful
trlbuto to tho worthy old servant in
which ho said hho was ono of tho greatest
institutions of tho nontli. Slio cnu read
mid wilto and Is a pink of politeness mid
social propriety. After listening to read
ings by Thomas Nelson I'nge, sho Instant
ly repeated pago after pago of Ids delight
ful dialect htorles nnd charmed u largo
circle of distinguished people who wero
present. When President Cleveland ur
rivod at Hollo Meade, ouhls pleasant south
ern tour, Aunt Susanna was ono of tho
first to greet tho distinguished guest.
Homo of tho local papors wnggishly im
ported that Aunt Susanna told tho presi
dent hho hoped ho "wouldn't sot her back
in slavery." Shu spurned tho bentlnient,
in talking to mo about tho mutter, mid
said that when slio was Introduced to tho
visitors slio mado her prettiest courtesy
und said:
"Mr. President, I welcomo you nnd
your younj; brldo to our beautiful south
ern homo."
Continuing sho snld: "Tho Idea of mo
saying 'not' to tho president! Why I
was raised with pcoplo of quality inn
novor uu much ns baid 'sot' n lion."
v
Aunt Susanna was very much delighted
with Charles Dudley Warner because ho
put her in print in "good grammar."
Mr. Warner asked her if slio favored tho
freedom of tho slaves. Sho said slio "did
nnd she didn't." Thero wero a good
many buy, worthless, no account nig
gers, slio said, mid slio thought It was a
good thing to turn them adrift into free
dom "uu' lot 'em shift for domsolves,"
but slio was not in favor of fneing and
separating llio good, honest, hardworking;
old family servants irom their musters,
"tho pcoplo they loved so well."
To ui.o' her own words: "Beforo
freedom I lind a good homo, good
elotho.innd nothing to bother rue. When I
was sick u doctor crime. ' I always hud

an almost omnipresent nulsniico. A party i
of Jolly "commuters" on tho N. nnd'

discouragement of tho "straw vole llend"
that, Judging from mi experimental tilal

nut relations in their dally enforced com-
pnuioushlp, avoid tho discussion of poli
tic:! when on tho trains. Taking "straw
votes" threatened to disturb this harmo
nious lelatlon.
"What! You don't mean to sav you '
vote for Cleveland, do yoirt" or "Thun- ,

pleasant game of whist or railroad ouchro

widow In" In tho smoking cars, when j
lomoof the older brethren grasped tho i
situation mid propounded n scheme that
promised so much fun that all tho others i
heartily ngreed to co-opernto in it.
A few mornings ugo cloven coinmuter.i
wero Interested in two games of whist
three of them as lookers on in a crowded
mnoklng car u llttlo below New Uochclle,
when ii protracted wrangle between two
nt rangers culminated In ti bet over tho
lesult of n "straw vote" in that car
Neither of tho wranglers would trust tho
other, so each started out with liencll and
jrnpor, explaining, request In;;, interrupt
ing conversation and play, unnoylng
everybody. Olio of thci started from
thu front nf tho car, tho other from tho
rear, each on an Independent canvass.
When each had j;ot through they met to
conipaiu results. Ono had Cleveland 513,

ea -h other In i.llence, while thev breathed
hard mid grew red in tho face. Then each
charged tho other with dellborato falsifica
tion und lying, called each other nil man
ner of tilings common and unclean nnd
speedily wero engaged in n vigorous pum
niellng match which wus 'ivontually
stopped by tho train hands.
Meanwhile the eleven commuters roared
with laughter, shipped their thighs und
(.creamed Impartially encouragement to
both tho combatant!!. Thoy hud made nil
tho trouble nnd had un exclusive right to
tho triumph. In compliance with an
agreed upon hlgnal by ono of their meffl
hers, thoy had simply cast their eleven
votes bolldly to ono man for Cleveland,
and to thu other for Harrison. That was
tho scheme by which they hope to either
put a stop to veto takinjfon the trains
they pntroulfto or get the maximum of fun
out of tho attempts at it that are mado.
On Mail street, opposite llio rear of tho
postolllco and near" Ilroadway, stands n
lingo block of stone, lmnilsoincly carved,
adorned on its ends nnd one side with tho
words, In groat raised letters: "Drink, Pa

Wushlnj'ton. Most importuut of all Is
the work of the city editor. The city
editor bus been nt work for three or
four hours, rending nil thu morning
pnpers and making up what is called his
"assignment book." In this I mo It he has
memoranda of all thu known events of tho
day. If them nro meetings, weddings,
sensational trials, police Investigations;
if u prominent man Is duo In the city, or
a noted criminal in io arrive in ruurgo or
olllcors; If a particularly Interesting case
Is to come up in thu divorce courts no
matter what Is likely to occur or bus al
ready occurred In or ubout tho city tlio
city editor must know all nbout it, must
have n record of It on Ids book, mid must
send n mnn, or a number of men, us tho
ease may warrant, to report It. Tho city
editor tells the munugiiig editor what ho
thinks Is going to bo "the news of tho
day." That is something that every edi
tor stops und asks himself almost hourlv,
"What will bo the best thing in tlio
pnpers to-morow, the thing that peo
ple do the most talking mid think
ing nliout?" For that is the thing
ho wants to spread on, the thing
lie wants to put his liest men on, mid
lmvo some pictures made for, If it Is a
thing that will bear pictures, ami when
put in typo ami ready to uiako up in the
forms he wants this thinjr, this "news of
tho dny," to "lend tho paper," that is, to
nppear as tho first article on the first pago.
Tho first pago of a metropolitan news
paper Is llko tho show window of u mer
chant, for it Is there that tho best goods,
tho novelties, tho striking thlujrs, uro to
bo displayed. An editor who does not
know how to get his best news on Ida
11 rat page, und who has not good Judg
ment uu to whnt Is his best news, might
us well milt and go into some other busi
ness. Ilo is u fnlluro ns nn editor.
Tho worst of it hi Hint nil plans may bo
changed in uu Instant. What ut 0 in tho
uvenlng seems to bo tho big news of the
dny may bo completely overshadow ed by
something which comes hi at midnight,
mid thu really great newspaper is ono
which not only gets nil news in good
shape, but stands ready ut u moment's
notice, no mutter how Into tho hour, to
accommodate itself to changed conditions
and to make tho most of the latest und
best. Thero nro nowspapers, nnd some in
Chicago, so lazily managed that the news
which comes is simply put in the columns
until coluinitafterrolumn is filled, without
any sort of effort being made to sift tho
good news from tho trivial and to make
tho paper up in accordance therewith.
Tho city editor lius under his control
twenty or nioro reporters. Some of them
are men who have mudo reputations us
v.ritor.s and who draw salaries as largo as
the city editor himself. The t ntji-iiey of
lato Is' to employ the best writers on tho
city titnf!, nnd the man who can "hustle
for news,' who urn take liolil of nn event
of any sort whatsoever, find out all about
it quickly, catch its spirit und substunco
und put them on paper rapidly, graph
ically und rell.ibly, with keen perception
of what l mr.tuiiul nnd what too trivial
to mention, mnkmg i f the whole "a
story." th.-.t L n t.ilo of lact which is
complete in that it has dramatic net Ion,
cause, development, climax, crisis a
btory that is short, compact, trustworthy
mid ut tho same time possessed ot
that rare nnd iudescrlbablo qual
ity called rcadubleuess such a man
is tho highest typo of journalist.
There uro not many such, ami tho fuvv
thero are command good wages. Homo of
them work by space, being paid tea or
twelve dollars a column, and In some
cases llftcen or twenty, for all thoy wrlto.
Tho managing editor of Tho Tribune snld
to mo tho other Jay: "There aro two
classes of newspaper men who nro bo
scarco that It Is ulmo.-it impossible to find
then. Ono Is the first class reporter who
can writo anything, nnd hns nt his com
mand a dozen different veins sultablo to
ns many sorts of subjects. The other Is
tho man who thinks. I can biro live hun
drcd newspaper men to go and do what 1
tell them to do, but I cannot find ono who
has Ideas of his own. Thero is a premium
out for newspaper men with ideas."
Some people supnoso that u reporter
simply goes out in tlio town and depends
upon. tho good olllces of friends who como
up to him nnd "givo him items." That is
true only In small villages. In cities n
reporter wouldn't got a printable Item
onto u mouth in that maimer. Whatover
u man gota la a bli; cit v ho la geuerully

found two or three porters standing bo

lerloiisly No policemen wero on hand.

Ho they burst open tho door of thu bed

I.vory gas Jet in t lie room was lighted,
lu thu middle of the chamber, ill u big
chnlr, snt u joung nnd beautiful woman,
handsomely dressed, with her head
bent forward on her breast mid the
blood oo.inj: from u hole in her bend mid
trickling down over her immaculate gar
ments und snowy skin. The reporters
woro the first to touch her. They lifted
her bend that they might see her face.
They pulled open her eves to get their
color. They pried open her clenched fists
to ascertain it imv notes were held therein.
They pulled oil her rings und noted the
Initials engraved I herein. They seurched
her dressing case for proof of her Identity
or correspondence which might throw
light iiMiit the mystery, lu five minutes
tliu scene wus photogYuphcil upon their
minds. They hud even the monogram
from thcorncrof her handkerchief which
ono had drawn from her bosom a bosom
in which there was vet warmth but no
lifo. Tho quick eye of the reporter bud
not fulled to obsvrvo that tho dend
woman worn flue silk stockings, mid that
throughout her attire wus of the ilchest
mid finest, ns if she had decked herself in
her best before firing the fatal shot. Just
us tho polico arrived the young men
rushed down stnlrs. A few questions of
tho clerk mid they jumped Into their cnb.
On the way to tho olllco they agreed upon
u division of the work of writing. At
their desks two pencil.) flew over paper as
rapidly as nervous, eager men couhl push
them. As fust us ono of them wrote u
dozen words the city editor snatched tho
sheet away mid whisked It upstairs to tlio
jirlnters. Another mnn wrote the head
lines. In ten minutes nil had finished,
lu ten minutes more tho papers wero roll
ing from tho pr'-ss, papers which con
tained three-quarters of a column of
double leaded account of tho suicide.
Tho first part of that account wus
written by ono v porter, th-o other
half by another. Neither crcsaed the
track of tho other. You could not tell
where ono begun and tho ether loft off.
It was ii spirited, graphic, fi.-'tful narra
tive. How did tho city eJito.- huir of tho
case so quickly? Ily Co kludrtss of u
nljrht port or whom h6hrdor."o befriended.
Tlds poller ran out of tl.o hotel ton drug
store and telephoned the news whilo tho
woman was dying. Tho reporters arrived
lieloro tier body wns colli. I lut wus
called u "luck" beat, end lii'd: it vrs. but
there was tho Intelligence, thomrvo, tho
skill to take iidvantugo of tho luck und
make tho most of It. 'Phut Is newspaper
