THE BIRTH OF THE TRIBUNE.
Future Great Writers Who Wore On
Duty That Night Three Ilumlrecl
Subscribers a Day A News
boy Millionaire.
Looking backward through the vicissitudes
of forty-nino years the perspective grows
rather dim , yet just at the vanishing point
the morning of April 10 , 1UI1 , says a reminis
cent writer In Minister Hold's paper , wo sco
the birth of a small 1 cent paper of the whig
Bchool of politics the Now York Tribune
with the dying words of President Harrison
as. its motto : "J dcslroyou to understand the
true principles of the government , " begin
ning its career with 000 subscribers , procured
by the exertions of the founder's personal
and political friends. The old-fashioned
press , set going ut 3 o'clock , thumped away
till long after daylight , turning out 5,000
copies , of which seine -t'WQ were given away
In the streets as samples of the new enter
prise. It was u busy and an anxious tiino
bout the headquarters of the establishment.
The editorial cilice was at ! ! 0 Ann street the
building stands there yet , just back of Dovoo
& Co.'s paint store while the composing-
room was nt" , formerly Itanium's museum ,
now thy site of the Herald building. Mr.
Greeloy spent the night going from ono place
to the other. He was the editor and proprie
tor. In the dupaitmcnts of literary criti
cism , the line arts and general news ho was
OhsUteil by Henry J. Hnymond , afterward
editor of the New York Times iindimem-
ber of congress the only republican
In the house that voted against the
civil rights bill in IMWI. The composIng -
Ing room was In the hands of the present
secretary of the Tiiibuno association , the ven-
cruldo Thomas N. Hooker , whoso benignant
features In a halo of .snow white hair area
bright spot In the business ofllce at the corner
of Nassau and Spruce streets. Mr. Hooker
would not take $10,000 for the reminiscences
of that night. > The entire llrst page of tlio
Trlbilnq was given up to Attorney ( iencitil
JlalVs opinion on the ease of Hecorder Mor
ris , nnd the whblo article containing somol'-
000 word * wn1 * sot In pourl typo. Your mod
em newspaper man would consider such a
puga Intolerably "heavy. " Mr. Hooker made
up the llfbt form and placed It on the press.
The llrst Impression was taken off by Iavld
P. Hhodcs , now president of the New York
News company , Ho had been with Mr.
Greeleyon the New Yorker nnd the Log
Cabin and was Invaluable now as general di
rector of the clivulation of the Tribune. The
forms were so arranged that ono side of two
copies of tlm paper were printed at each 1m-
pix'sslou. This sheet , being turned over and
run through the press iieiiiii , produced two
copies of the Tribune , which , of course , had
to bo cut apart. The cutting was douo by
Mr. Hhoud'cs , who used n big
butcher Unlfo for the purpose.
TwenlV'llvo hundred strokes of the knlfo
nindo&OOO Tribunes ready for distribution.
The work lasted from ! ! o'clock till noon. As
Mr Hhodcs cut ho sold to the newsboys , Ono
of tlm Ilrst of the latter to eomo for a supply
of papers called himself John llooy , though ho
was never Known to the offleo by tiny other
nnnip than John , Ho is now the millionaire
president of the Admits express company.
Manv veil's afterward , when binnuel hliichih-
was publisher Of the Tribune , Mr. Hhoades
wiisliihtructedtqsco the express company
with reference to shipping largo bundles of
the Tribune to distant cities. .
' Why not send somebody who knows Mr.
Hoey I'UuId ( ' Mr. Hhoadcs. "Ho couldiiccom-
him , " said Mr. Sin-
him In my life that I know of , "
InliuUanuour
Mr. Hoey came to the onlcc to arrange person-
allv about the shipment.
"Whv , hello John ! " Mr. Hhoadcs ex
claimed , recognizing at once tlio face of the
newsboy to whom ho had sold many thousand
papers in years gone \Vhataroyoudoiug
nowadays I" '
Mr. Sinclair hastened to introduce the two
men , and Mr. Rliondes learned for the first
time that Newsboy John and John IIooyhead
of the Adams expiess coinpanywere thosamo
pewon.
"John " had chum in with
, a 1SH whom ho
used to share his weekly earnings , and that
chum always accompanied him to the Tribune
oflleo to buy papers. Ilo was a bright ,
clover , boy , inclined , however , to bo a spend
thrift , throwing pennies away where Johnny
suved. Ho is. now known to all the racing
world us James McGowan. His friends aio
legions , but ho hasn't got n dollar.
The advertising solicitor and general collec
tor for the Tribune oil that eventful day , nnd
for several years after , was known by tlio
nnino of George Jones. Ho is now the editor
of the New York Times. Two of the compos
itors who helped Mr. Hooker in pearl and
agate and nonpareil are still living. Ono is
Washington Dodge , who has been at the case
ever since.
No. 1 , Vol. 1 , was n four page paper , con
taining twenty column of matter. Of local
news there was a iioro tiiflo. The leader
was written by Grceley " 1'Jain Talk to the
Whigs. " The last page contained particulars
of the death of President Harrison , n black
border .surrounding it. Jealous of the new
comer , an esteemed contemporary , the Sun ,
strong and lusty , pounced upon it to crush it
before It could gain n footing. Men were
hired to thrash newsboys caught selling it ,
Mr , Beach himself lending n hand in a street
encounter. The public , crying "Foul play , "
rallied to the -support of the young
ster , cheered it on with advertise
ments and subscriptions , and nt
the end of a week the Tribune was estab
lished. None would have believed it. to look
at tbo accounts on Saturday night , April 17 ,
Expenses , $52.1 ; receipts , * ! n > . Mr. Greeley's
capital on the night of April 9 consisted of
reputation , experience , talent , opportunity ,
credit and $ 1,000. The last item , borrowed of
a friend , James Coggeshall , was the only ono
to suffer n reduction. At the end of the week
It amounted to but $ . - > T7. The others had in
creased till they were equivalent to a bank
account of ? T > 0,000. Subscriptions poured in
at the rate of W u day. The Tribune bagan
Its fourth week with an edition of 0,000 , its
seventh with 11,000ami there were no circu
lation liars in these days. In duo tlmn now
presses were announced , wonderful machines ,

The Tribune was not Mr. Greeloy's first
newspaper venture. In i u ho had started
the > ow Yorker -"equal In slo nnd execu
tion to any of the literary weeklies of New-
York city , " as wo learn from the prospectus
published n the Plncknoy Whlg-Ibil ( : ) , In
consideration of "at least ono year's sub
scription. " The Now Yorker lived seven
years , keeping its editor In financial trouble
all the time. It was not abandoned , however ,
till the Tribune appeared. The Harrlsoii.cam-
palgn In 1S10 was'WHpbnslblo for the birth of
the Log Cabin , by H. Grccloy & Co. , the most
brilliant political orgnu over published in
America. Tills was. the paper that made Mr.
Greeloy's famous an nblo writer and a zeal-
oils politician , but it , too , disappeared when
the Tribune ciimo into tlio world. That was
glory enough for ono man.
In April , ! Sr. , the price of the Tribune was
Increased to a cents. Jn is ; , its ollico was
burned out and Mr. Greeloy mourned the loss
of n Webster's dictionary and n pair of boots.
About tlio same tlmo the Tribune began Its
aggression on slavery , "the most fondly cher
ished of American Institutions. " In isll ) tlio
Tribune association was formed with
, a capl-
ul of $100,000. a few shares al $ 1,000 each
being ottered for sale to the leading men In
each department , the foremen of the composIng -

SITS IX .BISMARCK'S CHAIR
Some of , the Striking Perscmnl Character
istics of General von Oaprivi.
AS IF CHISELED TKOM MAEBLE.
Tlio Successor of the Man f Iron Has
n Singularly , Impressive Coim-
tcnaiicc-dliH loyally to
Hit ) Sister.
The handsome anil statclv soldier who is
now the chancellor of tlio German Kmpiro
1ms lit lust installed himself mid his modest
belongings in the famous old diplomat io palace -
ace in the Wllhelm strasse , writes a Berlin
correspondent of the Now York Morning
Journal. Ollleinl society 1ms been on tiptoe
to discover any Indication in General von
Cuprivl's mind of great changes , mid u possi
ble increase of splendor in diplomatic recep
tions , etc. The general visited the apart
ments iu which 1'riuee and Princess Bis
marck so long resided , u day or two ago , and
when ashed if ho wished to occupy them ,
muttered soldierly "Gott bewahre ! This is
too grand for mo. I have told my man to
move my traps into the apartments which
Furst von Pless used to occupy , in ( mother
wing of the palace. They arc ( nillo good
enough for me. "
But society declines to bow down before
this affection of simplicity. It is believed
that Kmporor AVilholiu wishes his new chan
cellor to entertain superbly , and that ho will
by and by begin to prepare for his social
duties.
This belief is strengthened by the announce
ment that the man led daughter of Ills sister
is to preside over his household. This good
lady Is of excellent family , but she has never
seen much of ofllcial society , and as all Ber
lin ami notably the wide circle of adherents
whom Princess Bismarck has left hero will
bo disposed to eritlso her every movement ,
she will often wish hoi-self back again in the
obscurity of provincial life.
But it is to be preMimedtbat she will deco
rate the old editlce , which is n palace only in
name , with some of tlio tapestries getting
worm-eaten in the Imperial storehouses , ami
very likely she may decide to inhabit and to
give soirees in the Bismarck rooms ,
The history of the above mentioned tapes
tries is rather amusing. The old emperor
whcnovor ho visited the diplomatic palace
used to hu.ient the barren anil unfurnished
apnoanmro of many of the living rooms , and
n ( lay or two after his visit a servant would
come round with a vim full of royal tapestries
saying that they had been sent from the
Crown Mobiller.
But Bismarck gent them back each tlmo
inventing a good excutfo to got rid of them ,
having , it appears , notions of his own about
not living surrounded by things belonging to
the .state.
The Blsmarchs took away nil their treas
ures when they departed from Frledrlclis-
ruhe , and thousands of Berllners feel as if
they had been robbed of u portion of their
history. Kverj bodv wonders If the now chan
cellor's nleco will keep up the pleasant cus
tom Inaugurated by Princess Bismarck , of
always keeping u brace of cold fowls , Hanked
by homo bottles oC excellent Bordeaux and a
few flasks of fivsh .beer , on an Inviting side- '
lx > ard , where any visitor who was awaiting
audk'nco was free to help himself.

probably Install Him private ollirn there.

room of his treat pivuece ser on the ocooslon ,
of his iirst onicially taking possession. Per
haps ho asw u vision of Bismarck in Ills old
stuffed chair , in front of his plain imihognnv
desk , with his secretary seated in front o'f
him , mid trembled as ho reflected what
mighty deeds had been accomplished at that
old desk , and how hard it would bo to follow
wmthlly such a towering predecessor.
General von Caprivi is n strikingly hand-
Miino man and splendidly piescrved for onoon
the threshold of three-score. Ills resemblance
to Prince Bismarck has often been noted ; ho
looks as a Bismarck who had had no burdens
on his shoulders , who had done no desperate
striving to build up tin empire , might bo ex
pected to appear.
Hois of ox.ictlv the s'lino ' height as Bis
marck ; his form is more supple and graceful ;
his face is not furrowed and seamed with
thought-wrinkles , but has a benevolent and
paternal expression.
General von Caprivi has usually been ac
counted cold toward tlio fair sex. This is all
the more astonishing , for in youth ho was sin-
cnlarly handsome and had great social oppor
tunities.
There is a romance deep down in tlio heart
history of this cool , handsome , elegant sol
dier-chancellor , and tlio gossips are bound to
llm ! it out.
As one of the most bewitching of the court
ladies said a day or two ago : "Cherche/
femmol A man cannot have been u corps
commander , especially with such distin
guished manners , for so many years without
having had at least one affair of the heart. "
One fact is infinitely to General von
Caprivi'.s nwllt. At a time when ho was
much courted and flattered ho remained u
bachelor expressly that ho might dcvoto
himself to u young sister left to his charge.
JIo made a homo for her and was devoted to
her. Sometimes ho said to Intimate filends :
"So long as my sister requires my care I
shall not marry , "
The new chancellor hates phrases , flum
mery and flunkeys. lie has even objected to
the presence of the detectives who were day
and night in front of the palace in Bismarck's
time ,
"Send them away , " ho said yesterday. "I
don't want them , I am n soldier and know
How to protect myself , "
"Hum ! " said the Blsnmrckitcs , "if lie
thinks that will prevent us from knowing
about his comings in and goings out ho will
lind himself vastly mistaken. "
Seine of them say that the chancellor , like
miMiy another.soldier , lias a family to which
ho has not given his name. Others alllrm
that ho was early crossed In love , and that
for that reason ho Is frosty in his relations to
the fair , and so devoted to his pipe and his
licer in priuite.
General von Caprivi Is n colossal drinker :
in their youthful day ho and Bismarck could
have drunk up the river Spree between them.
But neither ilngons of beer nor flasks in
numerable of the noble , white wines of
Father Uhlno have any effect on the statu
esque calm of the chancellor , who always
looks as if just cut out of marhlo.
In ills early soldier days ho was called the
'Captain of Capi-rnaum"- joking allusion
to his serious , retiring behaviour also a pun
on his Italian titles of Do Capreru do Mouto-
CllCllli.
The Canrivls were originally Italian noblemen -
men a branch of the houses of Capiera mid
Montccucull , They were long honorably
known In the duchy of Frlaul.
In the fifteenth century tlio family emi
grated to Hungary , and some of Its members
distinguished themselves in the wars against
the Turks , in the Austrian service , in the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries.
In HlVl two brothers Cumivl were raised to
the nobility. The elder , Andreas , hud a son ,
Karl Leopold , who married a protcstant lady
with largo possessions In Silesia. A son of
this marriage , Julius I.eophold. was brought
up In tlio Lutheran faith , and became chan
cellor of the com t of Htolbcrg-Wcrnlgorode.
In the next generation t licit ) were I'lussian
colonels , chief councillors of tribunals , etc. ,
and the present chancellor of the empire ,
born February ' < ! ! , l 'll , is the .son of Chief
Chancellor von Ciiirlvl. | bj his marriage with
JvinlLK' Cliailuttc Kiocpkc , of the well known
K'liliicd Kloepkc family , which has given tlio
world many theologians mid historians. Tlio
