(Coin/right 1W).)
New York. Aug. 17.—The daily news
paper has come to t>e al nost as much of a
necesii y t-> tue American citizen as his
daily broad. The merchant, toe naiufact
urer. the professional man, the banker, th •
workingman all hare an insatiable thirst
for knowledge of what is going on about
the n, a id the Vpc rd of each day's events
finds eager readers iu every class and con
dition of society. To present this record in
concise ad attractive form is the mission
of the daily ne * spa per.
Much has been sai l and written concern
ing the systems of gather g news, the
labors of reporters, the ingenuity of inter
viewers, the vig.la ice of the editors, the
probing of mys.ei es, the st.ll hunt, the
rush, the excite nent a id t le adventures of
those upon whom devolves the duty of
gearc ing out facts an 1 giving • hem to an
expectant public. The dema ids, the per
plexitie-, the str igglos a id the tr.u nphs of
this bra ch of the *er\iee have been set
forth frequently and graphica ly.
But the eis one quiet 100 m in every
newspaper office where the toil g es < n
with unruffled monotony, where no bustle
or hurry is apparent, where the surface of
the current is sin oth and placid. Here
there is no noise save the cl ick of the tel -
graph instrument; he; e there is no ru ming
in and out, no excitement a id scarcely an .
conversation. Yet hire is a centering
point for the news of the world; here, from
every quarter of the globe, comes
the story of every evint whose importance
entitles it to a place in the cirouicle of
human affairs. How this news is obtai ied
shall not here be recounted; suffice it to say
that the work is mainly performed by two
great organizations—lue old established As
soclat. and P. oa, experie..cvd, alert, we 1
equipped, far-reaching, and with such a
perfect system that no important event
eseafie- it; and the younger Unite! Press,
wide awake, pu-hir g and übiquitous,
already a foi mniable rival to its elder com
petitor m the business. Most daily papers
are supplied with news by one or the other
(and occasionally both) of these associations.
The great journals in the large cities als
have tueir lei > sof si ecialcorrespondents,
and, according a their i come will permit
give original ad “exclusive” dispute les
from all iinpi rtant points. But in cities of
from 30.1 k 0 to 150,000 population, the daily
papers are as a general tnuig memoers of
the A--SOC ated Press or the United Press,
and receive the greater part of the r news
over the wire of cue of these associations.
How is this news received? In wha'
shape does it first reach the editor’s eye?
What manipu ation is requisite to nre-e it
it in attractive form, so that the Morning
Boomer which is left at your door briglu
and early shall, by its appropriate head
lines and prooer an angem * t of matter,
inform you readily and intelligibly on the
facts and is ue- of current history?
Each news association is c imposed of a
certain number of morning und evening
papers. These payers have the exclusive
use of a special w in-which p .sses throug
ail their offices, with ihe li.adquarters (if
located in the ei.st) at N< York. At 8
o’clock in the morning the report or even
ing pape s begins and continues until late
in the af ei noon. Al 6:3J o’clock in the
evening the eport f r m ruing pa pc s be
gins ad continues until 2:300r So’c.ock the
next moral e, or in special emergencies
until a much later hour.
The “te egraph editor” of a morning
paper either receives a duplicuto copy of
ti e day report, written in manifold, 01
clips it fnrom the afternoon paper, condens
ing ail its news into the mnllest space p .s
--sible. If he did not thus eionomiza gpacj,
there would be i sufficient n om left for the
fresher, m to important and voluminous
night di.ear"h s. Having thus “b tile i
down” all news received duri g he day, he
is ready for his all-night duties. First
come market roports from all unporta.it
bu mess centers. These are turned over to
to the commercial editor. Then co mnen es
the stream of general news, flowing iu from
all parts of the world, ad the arduous
labors of the night are well under way.
The e are two tati.es .id>3 by side. Ole
is occupied by the telegraph operator,
whose work demands special aptitude and
training, a quick ear, close attention, and
the ability to write rapidly and legibly. A
fair educati >n and familiarity with per.o is,
place- and current events are also valuable
adjunct-in this department of new.papei
work Each sheet of ma uscript pa ses

editor who must correct ail erro sof spell
ing and pu ct ation, capita’ization and
style, and write over every item an ap
pro! riate head. He mus estimate promptly
and accurately the importance of each
piece of news and assign tt to its proper
classification. He must pay due regard to
the policy of the paper, as to politics, relig
ion and sensationalism. Some journals de
vote exte ide 1 space to prize fights, social
scuudal ad the lik-, to the sacrifice of leg
islative proceedings and congressional de
bates, while others, as aru e, pursue the
contrary policy. Some journals flavor
their political news vri h editorial headlines,
in accordance wit i their partlsa i predilec
tions, and even go so far as to suppress or
mutilate and spatches rela ing to the affairs
of the ppoaition. Others are impartial i
this respect, and. no matter how rabid may
be their editorial exoivssion, ttieir news
pages present simply a faithful chronicle of
events, speeches ad platforms, wi ti head
ing uncolored hy partisan pref rences, and
indicating fair y the matter which folio s
This is the policy which makes papers
trustworthy and gives them popularity, and
which, in many cases, is never’varied from
except during the exige .ci. s of presiden
tial campaigns. In tu liters of this kind
the telegraph editor is frequently
obliged to exercise very exact judgment,
end approach closely, without stepping
over it, the verge of forbidden gr uud. It
is in his power, hy uu unwise expression in
headline, to fi.i the managing editor nth
dismay, throw the business depar.ment in
to a spasm and create a general convulsio i
throughout the establishment, or even the
community.
The news often comes in disconnected
fragments. Early in tho evening there
xuey be a three-Uue announcement of a vote
in the Kou-e of Commons. Thi. is imme
diately “edited” and placed on the copv
hook. Other news pours in, and an hou
later comes a dispatch headed.: “Subitt ute
for brief i em abou House oflCommon
Then follows an extended debate on somr
phase of the Irish question which it so ■
becomes evident is 10 he one of the most
important dispatches of the night. It
suddenly ior ass oil m the midst 01 a speech

followed by the conclusion of Parnell’
speech and a rejoinder hy the gover ment
leader. This again may be interrupted,
and a speech by some prominent politician
be ticked over the wee, preceded by the
following direction: “Will indicate later
where to use.” This means that a banquet
or couve tion is in progres and that tame
is to be gai.ed by seudtug the spsech in Ad
vance of tne routine proceeding*. Later
the introduction wiil com , stating tue
time and place of the meeti g, it* bjeot,
presiding officers and general proceedings,
and at the on per point will bo tne direc
tion: “Insert s,ech.” Following th s
there may be a dispatch as follows:
“Bulletin.—lt is reported that a disas
trous Qre is i aging in a tonemeut dist ict of
Chicago. Many lives are kn-.wn to be lost.
A gal, of eind is blowing and the fire
department ishelple.s.”
The tela-ra-h editor is thus apprised of a
coming dispatch wuieh w.li probably be
startii g iu its details and demand a “Dis
play ea 1.” He kn >ws bv experience,
howeve , that it may not materialize into
anything of m re than ordinary importance
so le must tie prepared for either contin
gency. Ah, here comes a other “add to
the H us • of Commons. There may be
more than half a dozen of them before th -
night is through, and the debate i> already
show ng signs of more than usual i terest.
Is drift ad incidents must be kept care
fully in mi and, for tney must be erubo .led
at ala e hour in a brief and expressive
display head.
Meanwmie, all sorts of items, on all eon
ceivab e subj ets, are coming in. They
must all be edite 1 an i se it to t e com osi
tor, and the work must be done without
the slightest waste of time. There may be I
twenty long dispatches which come in fro n
three to six installments, and over each
installment t e telegr iph editor must wrue
nn “add line’’ (or “ind.cation head”) which
shall beaguide to tie foreman in making up
the forms and enable him to put everything
i. is pioper place.
As the i light ad ances the pace go’s more
rapid. There l-a flood of news and the
i stiuinent tick- wit i increasing spe-iL
Many item are given t • the c impnitor
without h adn, brief “add line*” being
placed over each one, for the sake of iden
lica. ion later on. It is not always possible
to determine on the instant their r lative
importance or the length to which t iey
may grow. Meantime the telegr ph editor
is mentally planning his “lay out" —thai is,
the arrangement of his page, tle d.splav
heads, the double heads aid single eads.
Sprinkled through the nignt are als •
special dispatches from country c irresp in
dents, aud at certain times in the year from
nat or.al aid state capitals. These as a rule,
require very careful editing. Th ‘y may
contain objectionable matter or I discreet
expressions and are frequently marred bv
cruditi *s of stvle and even erro s in gram
mar. Some of them ma- be corrected bv a
few mirks of the pencil; othe s have to bo
entirel re-written. These special dii
patcnei. intermingled with the flow from
the re pilar press wire, make the telegraph
editor r ealize what it is to “hustle.”
A nitionsl or state convention alwavs
involv *s a night of toil. Tnere are correc
tio s, “adds,” “inserts,” substitutions, a id
all ma i er of changes sent fro a time to time
iunug the night. These wou and be bewild
ering if the telegraph edit >r permitted him
self to become disconcerted. But he rn st.
“keep his head” and lie master of the situa
tion. He must have a firm band on ail the
strings and bring order out of chaos.
As the hour of goi g to pres* approaches
ie must have his “lay out” renly for the
foreman who makes up the foe ns, a id must
be prepared to answer on the instant any
question as to the proper place for this or
that speech, res lution, committee or no ni
nation. Ihe type is scattered around on
twenty different ga leys, aud the forem in
is in a burry, possibly nervous and cross.
There is no time for deliheratio i. Every
thing must be done with the utmost promo
titude, for the eis an extra large ednio i t
orint, and the forms must go to press as
early as possible. All this time the tele
graph editor niu-t keep on a jot trot fr un
the imposing stone to his own deik, fortho
mstru nent is clicking at break n ek speed,
and fresh sheets of copy must be edited,
marked with appropr.ate “add lines," a id
"run out” without a moment’s delay. And
if, as is often t >e cae, the tel -graph editor
has to rea 1 his ow i proofs, it may oe rightly
concluded that his hands and head are full
to overflowing.
In the morning the readers of the Boomer
see no evidence of the toil or trouble. Tney
expect an orderly and seqnential acoou it of
the work of the co ivention vhose ncti m
l bey havebeen anxi nislv a waiting,and Ihev
geuerall get it. Tney also look a 1, as a
rule, Hud tr istw >rt y reoorts of t ie latest
railway accident,a great flood w lieh his ea -
ried death ii its path, a tor lad i 1,000 miles
distant, a list of appointments by t ie p-esl
dent, aud election of officers by some si ret
society—a score of other events in which
they have a personal or gen
eral interest. But few real
ize the labor, the pains, the anxiety and t ho
strain involved in cove ing t e whom field,
and the same ti ne performing the task .vith
rapidity and accuracy.
Perpl xities often present themselves in
the shape of a sudden rush of a lvortise
ine ts, or a lengtuv piece of local news,
either of which may make inroads ou the
space for telegraph matter. In such ea es
many and spatc.ies must be rejected, and to
make instant and wise choice of what to
print aud what to discard,
requires at times a very nice exor
c.se of judg nent. But a dull night is most
to be dreaded. There may be “trouble on
the wire,” necessitating suspension of . ork
for two or three hours, or there may be a
dearth of news. Considerable ingenuity is
required at such times to give thetelegr ph
page a sembla .ee of freshness a id interest,
and tiiough the experienced editor has re
sources wnicli enable hitn to accom lish
this result with a tair degree of success, the
situation is ann lying, Far preferable is
the u y night, when the rush begins early
aud continues late, when every nerve is
strained to keep up with the paee, when tho
hand, eye and brain are kept on the j ump.
The telegraph editor must be well in
formed reg n ding the names of all pronii
ment people, tne project with which they
are identified, their political or other
affiliations, and I he special work in which
they may tie trom time to time engage 1.
He must have a comprehensive knowledge
of politics, both domes; ic ad foreign, a.id
a general ad detailed stock of informati m
on ail subjects of cui ren, interest. He must
have a kee t eye for blunders oriuco i isteu
cier in the dis iatch,s w ich he receives,
aud be prompt to co root them or oota u
corrections f.oin tne ce.itrai ollice of his
news asgocia ion. He is frequently called
ui>on hr tne editor-in-i hief tor facts rega d
ing passing events and the s i viiigs an d>-
ingsof prominent people. Heq usiti ms a e
often made upon him for editor! tl writi ig,
to which he is expected to respond wit
alacrity and cheerfulness, even th m;h his
nightly battle with the news is a sufficient
tax on the laboring capacity of any one
man.
As to pay ? Well, tho salary is not munifi
cent, hut the te.ogiaph dam is look and upon
as thestopping tone to a i editorial, chair,
and it generally proves to be sueu, if the
labors are performed elficien.lv, faithfully
and cons ie.itiojsiy. Tue reward may be

Athens, Ga., Aug. 17.—The mysterioue
finding of the young girl’s body near Wat

Ihe coroner held his inquest yesterday and

color there was some dispute, but the
doctors say it i th 6 body of a white girl.
A HOLE IN THE SKULL.
