Queus and running by the 1st and what a high standard of excellence bv must acquire and maintain If he is to be a success. There was a time when the printing offico was considered the best school for tho editor and reporter. That Idea Is antiquated.

Tho reoort.ors are now taken from tlhe col legos. The brightest and best educated men are in demand. The pace Is so rapid and so exacting that no others can ke.op up. Tho day of tho hohemlan reporter has nearly passed. Ho still has a precarious cxlstenco going from one paper to another, but ho is unable to find a dealt, and, if he does, to keep it long.

The woman reporter has also come, and como to stay. The field Is not largo, but sho is doing good work and becoming more useful every day. When I was roportlng I would often bo sent to describe dresses at a wedding reception, and while my copy would pass muster at the city editor's desk, for he didn't know any more about tho mat tor than I did, yot I often wondered how long; the public would put up with that kind of work. The woman reporter now has the monopoly of that kind of reporting. In the business office we find that the publisher or tho business manager is a much moro Important figure than he was a decade or two ago.

He is the one who more than anyone else is attending to the financial end of the enterprise. Tho editors and reporters attend to the making of the article which tho business manager Is to put on the market. He must see that the article Is sold and that every possible revenue is obtained. He must see that tho article Is produced at as low a cost aa is consistent with good work not as low aa is possible, for there Is as great danger in spending, too little money as thore is In spending too much. I have already spoken of the circulation.

This is one of tho things no fellow can find out. Nearly every papoT has an affidavit bureau, but affidavits aro not always what they seem to be. There aro a fow papers, and tho practice Is becoming more popular, which tell tholr exact circulation. But too much stress Is often putt on mere numbers. Some papers with a circulation of ten or twenty thousand copies daily are stronger and moro influential and better advertising mediums than other papers with 100,000 circulation.

The kind oT readers Is the determining factor rather than the number, and what that kind i tho advertiser usually finds out with such assistance as the business manager and his advertising solicitors can give. Tho advertiser! Ho is your friend as well as tho publishers'. You may complain of the great number of pages taken up with his announcements, but do you realize that If it wero pot for those columns of black type you would not get the paper for 1, 2 or 3 cents a copy. Without his revenue to help maintain tho paper you could not havo the wonderful sheet which you now have at a merely nominal price. Noah Brooks once wrote an article in the Forum on the newspaper of the future, in which ho prophesied that it would contain no advertisements.

This I do not believe. Peoplo like to read advertisements. I guarantee that half the women in this audlenco read the advertising pages before they do tho news. Newspaper advertising has becomo tho recognized and legitimate method by which the merchant communicates with tho public. I do object to the mixing up of tho news and advertising columns and believo there is to be reform in that direction and that advertisements will be kept on their own ground.

Advertising has becomo a great art and today the "ad. writer" Is in as much demand and fills as Important a place on the paper as the news reporter. Many papers have a staff of ad. writers, and the art of putting things la becoming a profitable study for many bright young men. The newspaper of to day is fortunate in having the benefit of the work of 3ome of the greatest inventors of the day.

I do not know of a business In which such progress has been made In mechanical appliances a3 In the newspaper office. The modern printing press Is the marvel cf the age, only equaled by the typesetting machine. So great has been the advancement in the printing press that during the fifteen years I been In the office with which I am now connected, I have seen four sets of presses coma into It. At no time was a press discarded because it was used up, but simply to mika room for a new one that could do bettor work. The machine to set type Is a comparatively new invention and it is only within the last five years that this machine has become ot general use in all large offices.

The machina in greatest demand is the Mergenthaler linotype, a machine named for its Inventor, which casts a line of type. One machine with a skillful operator will do the work of four compositors at the case. I am often asked by youns men and women what the chances of success are in newspaper work. It Is a difficult question to answer. I never like to advise anyone to go Into tho business.

In fact, I usually present all tho arguments I can against It, knowing that IE the young person seeking the advice really wants to become a newspaper man he will do so under all obstacles and he. will not bo afraid to come to a big city to make a. beginning. The lad who has a passion for the work and can find moro pleasure in writing for the newspapers than in any other kind of effort, be it work or play, Is pretty apt to succeed. Edward Everett Hale once gave some pretty good advice on this subject that is well worth quoting.

Here it is: My dear young friend So you want to Join tha "noblo army of martyrs" and have come to aalc "how to get Into print?" The best, in fact, tho only a dvlce I can give you Is to Jump In just as must do when you are learning to swim. The sea will seem very cold at llrst; you'll get your eyes, your nose and your mouth full of salt sea. water; you'll come up sputtering, perhaps half drowned. Plenty of people will stand on the shore laughing at your llrst attempts. Here and there perhaps, some one struggling In the salt water beside you, who hay learned his lesson a little better, may lend you a helping hand.

Perli ups you'll think you never can learn to swim; I have heard of some people who can't. But if yinx have the right stuff In you, you'll keep on struggling and pushing, trying to get your head above water and some day you'll float. I never attempt to give any advice to tho women. A lady friend of mine living in the country recently wrote to me the usual kind of a letter. She was anxious to como to the city and go Into a newspaper offico and wanted mo to tell her whether or not sho ought to come.

I gave her the names of three women with whom she was slightly acquainted, who were on New York newspapers, and told her to write to them for advice. Sho did so and sent me tho replies. One woman advised her to go to Washington rather than New York, because she, the young woman, had friends In that cVty, adding that sho knew of no moro discouraging outlook than that of a young girl In New York among strangers. Another wrote that sho was highly favored for she had been treated very differently from tho way in which editors generally treated the writers under thom. She did not offer much encouragement.

The third woman and tho ono of largest experience a woman in the front rank of her profession, told of her own hardships and summed it all up In the word "Don't." To her the work meant thirteen hours work six days In tho week and eighteen hours on the seventh; two meals a day, and sometimes only one.

About six hun dred foot of the road is each dav i Contractor Bowker has fin lshexl niacadamlxlng the highway as far as the Detts place, about half a mile east of Grand street and new that the building of the railroad Is progressing more rapidly, he will push the work of building the macadamized roadway, keeping up with the railroad builders. THE SOUTHERN DIVISION. Springfield, L.

October 7 A large gang of men Is nt work on tho southern division putting In new railroad tics la place of bho old decayed ones and in ofhrwise repairing the roatlbed. The road la being put In order accommodate the Increased traffic, due to the abandonment of tho central extension between Henvp stoad crossing and Bethpage Junction. The new railroad ties which are being used axe of white cedar and are Imported from Now Brnc.s The ties are delivered In the vl lnlty of New York, at from 32 to 50 cents each. Formerly Vie ties used by tho Long Island Railroad company were all cut on the Island, but it is now claimed that the price win scarcely pay for the labor of cutting, bowing and carting them, leaving little or no profit for the owners of the timber. The ties were formerly brought to the railroad stations by the owners of small wood lots, and In the case of the old Southern railroad payment for them was made in stock In the company or trans portatlon over the line.

In taking out the old ties It was found that those made Long Island rod cedar had outlasted all the others, In fact they seemed almost indestructible. The Long Island railroad uses about 2.800 ties to the mile. The usual length Is eight fee: and the average width six Inches. The average life of the tle9 which are now being used is seven years. The old fashioned ties from the forests of tho Island lasted considerably longer.

To Judge from the mim'ber of visitors last night and their eagerness to buy the thousand and one things offered for sale at the gayly decorated booths and tahles, there Is hardly any doubt that that end will bo accomplished.

To the right of tho main entrance is the fruit and candy table, presided over by 'Mrs. Ryan, assisted by her daughter, Mrs.

Stewart; Mesdames McKiernan. Kaiser, Doherty o.nd tho Misses Julia and Liza Connors. Next to it is the Holy Name table, upon which stands a largo crayon portrait of the Rev. Father John J. Woods, rector of the Holy Cross church.

Klllelea anjl her aids are Mesdames Wandele, Flnan, Roche and the Misses TrTnlTi xrii, Maggie Killea Fanny Kenny and Bella Flood.

UO HIGH LEVEL STRUCTURE. Meeting of tho Joint Bridge Committee of Brooklyn and Queens County Today Residents of Long Island City and tho County Towns Disappointed at the Abandonment of tho High Level Plan Suicide of a Fifteen Year Old Girl. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. October 7 Tho Joint bridge committee of the Queens county supervisors and the Brooklyn board of aldermen are la executive session The news of the abandonment of the plan of a iiia level bridge over Newtown creek at Vernon avenuo by the committee has created considerable indignation throughout Queen? county. The statement that has been circulated by the supervisors that the opposition to a high level bridge comes from Long Island city Is only a half statement of tho truth.

The opposition comes from a small coterie of merchants and property owners, headed by S. D. Jones, a coal and wood dealer who lives near tho creek, who consider that their property will be injured by a hth level bridge, shutting olf their front. Merchants Of Chicago and other places similarly situated, open offices on the second floors of their buildings at the bridge level. The great majority of the people of Long Island City are in favor of a high l.

vel bridge, such as was proposed bv the Eagle hi February last. The roadway the bridge, a plan of which was published In the Eagle, was to cross the creek at. such a height that Jl.mastless vessels could pass under It. This, it was estimated, would allow of tho pas Eage of seveu olghths of al! the boats and without moving the bridge. This Is a matter seriously affecting not only the thousands of pedestrians and horses and wagons passing over the bridgo dally, but seriously affecting the Intorests of the owners of tug boats and barges and shippers and manufacturers doing business along the banks of the creek.

The plan proposed by the Eagle Included also a continuation of the structure at a high level over the tracks of the Long Island railroad. Tho Immense traffic of the road at the Vernon avenue cross lug is a great Impediment to the passage of traffic of all kinds than Is th opening of the bridge. It was well understood at tho time the Eagle's plan was published that the Long Island Railroad company was prepared to co operate with the bridgo committee In the building of such a structure and that they would surrender a portion of their yard space on Borden avenue for tho purpose of allowing the roadway to descend frradually to the street level. 'It is understood that the high level bridge plans are favored by the Brooklyn members of the joint bridgo committee and bv his honor, Mayor Wursto of Brooklyn. It was feared that the opposition of the pro pert owners at Long Island Cltv would result in legal complication and long delavs.

hones the action of the committee in abandoning the high level plan, which was taken in view of the urgency of the work. A CHILD COMMITS SUICIDE. 'Westhampton. L. October 7 Bertha, the IS year old daughter of Mr.

Mr. BURGLARS IN FLUSHING. Flushing, L. October 7 Tho rosidenro nf Bennis Sullivan in North Princu street 6nterod at an oarly hour thin morning by iIotcb, wco ouected an ontruiioo by placing a Republican Organizations March Away When Ho Was Asked to Spealt at a Twenty sixth Ward Demonstration. Throo largo Amorican flags wore prosonted to tho threo Ropublican organizations of tho Twenty first district, last night, at Linwood street and Blako nvenuo, by tho Women's Auxiliary Ropublican club of Now Lots.

Tho exorcises woro conducted in an ablo monnor by the mombors of tho club and proved very interesting. Tho women, tho members of tho club, nro proving to bo moro actlvo worltoru in this campaign than other clubs of tho Twenty sixth ward who havo votors for mombors. Their efforts always meet with snccess and last night was no exception as the street wncro tho oxercises were held, was crowded with attentive liatenors. The ceremonies woro held on a platform in front of tho Excelsior hotel. Tho president of tho club, Mrs.

W. A. Van Sic.len, being dotained at homo by illness, Mrs. L. W.

Hodson, tho vico president, presided In an nblo manner. Sho made an address and also announced tho spcakors. Tho oxorcisca began with tho singing of tho "Star Spangled Banner" an appropriate Bong for the occasion aftor which Mrs. James Pierce, president of tho Now York Stato association auxiliary, made a brief and pointed speech, in which she complimentod tho New Lots club for their good work, and eaid that husbands ought to ho proud of thorn for tho good work thoy woro doing for their oountry. At this point tho Timothy L.

Woodruff Marching club of tho Twenty first district, including tho Bolmont nnd Blnckmoro association, arrived. They numbered 150, wore in uniform and commanded by Frederick W. Coddiugton. Thoy cheered, saluted and lined up in front of tho speaker's stand. As soon aa the members woro arrangod Mrs.

Hodson came forward and said "Gentlemen of tho Twenty first district Republican association: It is with tho greatest pleasure that in behalf of tho Ladies' Republican auxiliary of fthe Twenty sixth ward hand into your keeping "Old Glory." The auxiliary feels and I feel a pride in thus recognizing tho work of tho Twonty lirst District association in the cause of Republicanism. I believo the Hag could not bo placed in more worthy hands, or in tho possession of anv who would more quickly gather under its folds in defense of their country, their rights and their homes. Take tho hold it as an emblem to livo for if need be, an omblom to die for." President W. A. Van Siclon responded fittingly on behalf of the nomination.

Mrs. A. W. Watts presented tho flag to tho Blackwell association, which was rocaivod on behalf of the association by E. R.

llaachdorf. The third presentation was made by Mrs. F. P. Wallace and received by Thonma P.

McKenzio for the Belmont club. After the presentation thirteen little girls in white gowns and sushos of stars mid stripes, representing tho original statea, sang "Ncblv Our Flag Flutters Over Us To day." Then E. F. Linton, the Republican candidate for assembly, was introduced and he was greeted with hisses ami leers when ho attemnr ed to make an address to the throng which filled the streot. Among thoso who were prominent in tho hostile demonstration woro men dressed in tho uniforms of the Twonty ilrst district Republican association lined up in front of tho speaker's stand.

Aa Mr. Linton rained hta hat and atepped to the front of tho platform he was greeted with loud hisses from various quarters. IIo began his speech, unmindful of the racket. "Go homo," "Got out," "Put him off tho platform," "Close up" nnd various other remarks came from all quarters. Tho speakor hesitated a moment and then attempted to proceed.

"Fall in" was tho command shouted to tho uniformed members of the Twenty lirst district who were lined up in front of "tho speakers' platform. The Joseph R. Clark batterv approached and passed and tho Bolmont, Linwood and Blackwell association members fell in behind and marched awav to their club rooms, whilo Mr. Linton stood looking at them in amazement. He retreated and N.

Frank Blako was introduced as tho next speaker and Mr. Linton's friends endeavored to explain the pnraders' strango action by saying that tho men had loft to prevent their uniforms being damaged by the dampnesB. A prominent officer of tho Twenty first district association told an Eaglo reporter that the many members in tho organization who are opposed to Mr. Linton took advantage of tho occasion to show their dislike for him. It was impossible for the local leaders to prevent the outbreak ho said and it was not unexpected, and the district ofiiciale had informod Sir.

Linton's friends that it would bo unwise to ask him to sneak. There is a bitter feeling in this district against tho man, caused by tho way ho was nomiuatod. The rank and filo of tho Republicans foel that Alderman Clark assumed too much authority whon ho forced Mr. Linton upon them as iv, candidate. "Wo did not want him," said the Eagle's informant, "and undoubtedly ho will be knifed at tho polls in this district as tho result.

To night's action may be takon as a straw which indicates the direction of the wind." Assemblyman Livingston, who was turned down when Mr. Linton was noininatod, was resent at last night's mooting. Ho said that oregrettod that members of the Twenty first district had received Mr. Linton in such an unkind manner. IIo felt certain that it was not prearranged.

Ho amilod as ho closed his remarks. 1. Mr. Linton had little to eay except to remark that he did not expect to Bpeak again in tho open air, aB it required sueh an effort to be heard. A member of tho Twnnty first district association informed a reporter for tho Eagle after the meeting last night that if Mr.

Linton attempted to Bpenk at the Nineteenth district association's meeting in Voeltzel's hall, at Fulton and Elton street to night, as announced, many mombers had arrangod to leave tho hall in a bodv.

Opening Meeting of the Brooklyn Literary Union T. Thomas Fortune and Macon Webster Also Spealt Music on the Programme. Tho Brooklyn Literary union held Its first mooting for tho season of 1896 7 in Jefferson hall last night.

This is the eleventh year of tho organization's existence. It is one of the oldest societies of Its kind in the city and has in Its membership the most talented and best known of tho Afro American citizens of Brooklyn. Herbert F. Gunnison was the speakor of tho evening, choosing for his topic "The Newspaper of To day," followed by T. Thorn as Fortune, editor of the New York Age, an Afro American paper, and Counselor D.

Ma con Webster. Mr. Fortune and Mr. Webster discussed tho subject of Mr. Gunnison's ro marks, complimenting the speaker upon his comprehensive and instructive address and commenting upon it to some extent.

Mr, Webster acted to Mr. Gunnison's list of edi tors tho names of St. Clair McKelway and itir. i'oriuno. Tho literary part of tho Drotrrammo was nr.

ceded by several excellent musical numbers. Among those who sang and played were Miss unnstina Ooodo, soprano; Harry T. Burleigh, baritone; MIsjb Fanny Perkins, alto; Madam A. Wilson and Miss Florence Johnson, nlan Ists, assisted by a young pupil of Professor w. uraig, violinist.

R. Scotron of the beard of education, John U. Shorter, ex assistant district attorney, and the secretary of the union, Sara ie Brown. In his introduction Mr. Gunnison said that he believed the Brooklyn Lltorary union was enutieti to a nigh rank among tho literary and self Improvement societies of the cltv.

It had been a flourishing organization for eleven years a.nd the members were entitled to great credit tor the interest they had shewn and the work they hud done. The only evidence of decay was the fact that the president had Invited the speaker to address tne meeting. (Laughter.) Ho hoped the audience would forgive Mr. Mr. Gunnison paid a high tributo to rh ioiim.ii ist work of Mr.

T. Thomas Fortune and then said In part: There are published In the United States ic aay aDout zo.uoo papers and periodicals. Of this number 14.000 are issued wovi n.i 2,000 dally. If each inhabitant took one paper there would bo a separate publication for every 3,100 of population in this country. Twenty five years ago there was only one paper for every 6,560 of population.

The n.um'ber printed, however, of those papers would give to every inhabitant about forty copies a year. To day if an equitable distribution was mado of all the papers printed there would he many hundred copies for every muu, woman ana cnild in the United States. The number of in tho world la only a. trifle more, lllnn rlohlo tne numDer puDitshed this country. I have gone Into this computation meroly to Indicate how Important a part the papers of to day play in the drama of life.

Every man and woman In this country who can read is a patron of the dally press, bo that the dally newspaper has become in itself a theme of very general Interest. Henry Ward Beecher onen snM "in rl A a. u.ara every wwtay citizen reads a newspaper ani own the paper which he reacts, a newspaper Is a window through which men look out on all that is going on In tho world. Without a newsnaner a man Is shut up in a small room and knows nttio or nothing of what Is happening outside of ntmseir. in our clay newspapers keep pace with history and Tecord It.

A good newspaper will keep sensible men In sympathy with the worM's current history. It Is an over un loiutng encyclopedia; an unbound book for ever issuing and never finished." A better and more concise statement of the newspaper day cannot be mado. And with that sfavnt I shall be content to leave tho subject so far as relates to the Dower. purpose and Influence of the newspaper. If my talk can be of any possible value to you it will be In telling something about tho Inside management of the modern dally.

Doubtless much that I shall say will be an old story to you, ana yet 1 know of no business In which so great progress has been made In recent yoara, and that Is now being mado, as in this very branch of activity of which I am to speak. I shall try to confine myself to tho nractloa.l side of the newspaper. In fact, the practical newspaper man is not orten an orator, and then, too. It has been said, that wo aro not living In an ago of orators. I once heard the lato Daniel Dougherty deliver an address on oratory, in which he declared that the day of orators had passed; that there was no longer any need for them; that the newspapers were tho educators of the people and had supplanted tho orators.

There may be some truth In the statement. Doubtless there will always be great duIdH orators, great political speakers, but It is true that the old time platform orator, pure and simple, is not so much in evidence as he used to be. The people aro becoming accustomed to the liabit of getting what Infor mation they want about current events from tne papers. Some great crisis may arise when the clarion voice of tho great orator mnv he required to rouse the people to action. nut wo nave seen communities swayed too and fro hy the words of a newspaper in even a moro effective manner than by the utterances of the public speaker.

I recall an Incident of a few ears ago on the morning of election day, in tho City of Brooklyn tho day when bosslsm and ring rule In that city was burled, forever 1 hope, by tho votes oi an angry ana outraged people that one of the great moving forces was a news paper of the city, which published an extra, early in the day, describing the high handed methods of Boss McKane, who was trying to control the election In his own bailiwick without regard to law and order. That same paper had much to do in arousinn a public sentiment which finally put a stop to such methods and landed the chief offender In the state prison. It is not my purpose to speak in praise of the press, but to explain how the papers of to day are managed, it might be proper to reier somo oi tne criticisms that are constantly being made. I don't think I ever met a man or woman who did not find fault with the nowspapers and express tho opinion that they could run them much better. Church people say that too much space is given to sports and the record of crimes and not enough to moral and religious topics, and another class of people object to the publication of sermons and dull reports of coiosiasuuai conventions.

Tho dlshonest 1 politician or legislator, of course, is down on the paper which shows, him up in his true light. I never knew one who complaned on account of reflections cast upon himself; is always on account of his poor wlfo, who doesn't llko to read such things in tho newspaper. And Rometlmes tho people yes, very often they tell you they will not take your paper any more. They don't say that they will not read It, and If they do dopend upon It they tell that which is not true. There aro but few newsoaner editors who are known to cho public.

Thirty years ago mo uuiuu oi a paper immeuiatoly suggested tho name of fts editor. Tho Now Vnrlr Tri bune, Greeley; tho Post, Bryant; tho Times, Raymond; the Herald. Ronnott; the Spring Hold Republican, Bowlos, and so on. Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun Ir ro d.iv about the only editor occupying about the same position that theso men had a generation ago.

Rut thero are. I bollovn. rrmicr editors to day than In thoso days, even If iuuy are not so wen Known and do not como beforo tho peoplo so prominently. One of tho most Important mon on a tuniimip m. day Is the reporter.

We are all Interested In having the latest news. Wo want It well written. In good English and with facts concisely stated. In no business Is competition so intonso as In thlB. All the world are critics of tho reporter's work.

A reporter Is sent out to write a story; it may bo the going ashore of tho steamer St. Paul. See how his work will be examined. First, tho city or night editor will go over it with tho blue pencil: tho readers of tho paper pralso or blame tho writer, and then comos the comparison that will be mado In his own oillco between his story and those which appear in all the other papers of tho city. You will readily understand tho high pressure at which tho reporter must work tnio stop I YTq t.
