SOME OK THE QUEER IDEAS OK
THE ST. LOUIS EDITOR.
Stories Illustrating His Eeeeßtrlci
ties and Methods of Newspaper
Work, Including Interviews,
“Scare” Heads, News and Punctu
ality.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Newspaper men who knew Joseph B.
McCullagh delight to tell stories of “Lit
tle Mack,” as he was called. He was a
splendid editor and a thorough discipli
narian, who insisted that the men work
ing under him should devote all their time
and energies to the newspaper upon which
they were employed. McCullagh did this
himself and thought it strange that any
one else should have any other desire.
Morning, noon and night, except when
sleeping, he thought only of his work, and
his friends easily believe that, even while
he slept at night, he dreamed of the
Globe-Democrat. He was not content With
doing this hlmslf, but wished every man
in his employ to do the same thing. At
the same time “Little Mack” was a thor
ough bohemian, a great joker and a good
story-teller. He was impetuous, although
methodical, and had a keen wit.
Many stories are told of his efforts to
make every man in his employ work as
hard as he did himself. Every man had
to be on duty from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m.
and woe betide the man who was late. A
story, which may be apoehryphal, relates
that on one occasion a reporter on the
staff went to the great editor and asked
for a day off.
“Your day off is Sunday,” replied Mc-
Cullagh, “and now- you want an extra
day Tuesday. Don’t you know, young
man, that a newspaper man, to succeed,
must work ail the time and have no other
thought except his work?”
“Yes, sir, but I am going to get mar
ried.”
“All right. Get married.”
“But my intended wife objects to being
married on Sunday, and we have sent
out the wedding invitations for Tuesday
evening."
“I can’t help that.”
“Yes, sir, but I would like to get off
Tuesday evening, so I can get married.”
“Humph. Well, what time is it to be?”
“At 8 o’clock, sir. ”
“At 8 o’clock. Well, it ought not to take
more than half an hour. Yes, Mr. Jones,
you can remain away from your work
from 7:30 to 8:45 p. m., but report lor work
at 8:45 and look out that you don’t get
scooped.”
No man had a keener sense of news than
McCullagh. He, as well as his reporters,
were always in pursuit of the elusive
item. His ideas of news is well known.
McCullagh regarded religious news and
the meetings of societies and associations
of quite as much importance as murders
or any other sensational news. He con
tended that anything of any kind that was
interesting was worth publishing in a
daily newspaper, provided it had never
before been published; holding that
whether the occurrence upon which it was
based had happened a day, a week, or a
month or even twenty years before was
immaterial.
Every newspaper man knows McCul
lagh’s famous answer when asked what
was the chief duty of the managing ed
itor of a newspaper.
“It is,” replied McCullagh, “the art of
having a man on the spot when hell
breaks loose.”
Editor McCullagh had many ideas pecu
liarly his own about newspapers and their
conduct. One of his pet aversions was to
what is called the “scare” head. He was
opposed to the use of big headlines in the
newspapers. The Globe-Democrat is
known as a newspaper which always had
modest headlines. Most of the heads over
the small items are one-line heads, and
the display heads rarely contain more
than three lines.
“It used to be the rule,” said Editor Mc-
Cullagh shortly before his death, when
explaining this characteristic of the
Globe-Democrat to a newspaper man, "to
put a big headline over a department
whether it contained much or little news.
For instance, Washington must have a
big headline if there were only a half
dozen lines from the capital. One day I
went over the paper with a piece of string
and was amazed to see how much space
was wasted by headlines. This string
measurement settled the scare head in
my office, and we are enabled to print
much more news than -we did before.”
Editor McCullagh will live in journalis
tic history as the inventor of the inter
view. That idea, which has come to be
an indispensable as well as a potent fac
tor in journalism in this country, was first
put into force by Editor McCullagh years
ago while correspondent at Washington
City. His Interview with President An
drew Johnson was the first interview that
was ever granted to a newspaper corre
spondent by a President. In later years,
when McCullagh managed a metropolitan
daily in Chicago and St. Louis, he enlarg
ed the scope of the Interview by polling
the most prominent citizens of states on
great questions, thereby obtaining a con
sensus of public opinion on those ques
tions. The Idea is now used by nearly
evary newspaper.
When William Hyde, who afterward be
came postmaster of St. Louis during
Cleveland's first term, was managing ed
itor of the Republican in that city he
threw down the gauntlet In an editorial on
some question of local importance. It was
Immediately accepted by Editor MeCullagh
of the Globe-Democrat, and a warm de
ha'O was precipitated between the two
able edditors. The Intensity of feeling
■>rew apace, and. a-s often happens In con
troversies of that kind, drifted Into one
of scathing abuse between the editors. It
was fun for the readers of the rival pa
per-’ but disagreeable to the friends of
the pai ticipants. who expected that se
rious trouble would result, both men be
ing courageous and daring.
Finally the vltrollc paragrpns of Editor
MeCullagh stung the other editor with
iuch force that he dispatched a personal
communication to MeCullagh, telling the
latter that the city of St. Louis was not
large enough for both of them to live in
at the same time; that one or the other
had to leave the city Immediately, and
s nee he himself did not contemplate an
early departure MeCullagh should govern
himself acocrdingly.
The cool and calculating editor of the
G.obe-Democrat replied by the same men
se'nger thut he would answer the commu
nication the next morning In the tutorial
co'umn* of his paper. And, true to his
word the editorial appeared over the sig
nature of "Mack," h'.s war nom de plume
The editorial, which was double-leaded,
declared that he had received a communi
cation from Mr. Hyde the day previous. In
which the latter had stated that the el’y
was not large enough to hold mem both
at the aame time, and that Hyde or Me-
Cullagh must leave town. Fol.owlng this

n*alns leave from Central depot, corner West Broad and Liberty streetA
came a lavish expression of deep regret
on the part of the Globe-Democrat in hav
ing to announce the sudedn and untimely
departure of Editor Hyde of the Republi
can; that Mr. Hyde was a man who in his
long residence in St. Louis had earned the
esteem and respect of all who kne w him,
and that in his leavetaking the city would
suffer a distinct and irreparable loss. The
editorial then concluded with a long bi
ographical sketch of Editor Hyde, as if
he had died on the previous day. The
satire was even more pungent than had
been the editorial paragraphs previously
published. It was effective, too, for it
ended the controversy, and both editors
pursued the even tenor of their w’ay with
in a stone’s throw of each other without
further trouble.
There are but few newspapers men,
especially those who travel from city to
city, who did not know McCullagh either
in person or by reputation. No one who
asked him for employment left his office
without an encouraging word, though
they may not have succeeded in securing
a position. Those who labored under him
never failed to get credit for the faithful
and creditable performance of duty. He
was always able to gauge quickly and cor
rectly the ability and merits of his men.
■McCullagh always hired the reporters
on the city staff himself. In his almost
daily intercourse with applicants he de
veloped a peculiarity which afterward be
came a marked eccentricity. This trait
was singularly impressed upon the mind
of everyone who approached him for the
first time for a position on the staff of the
Globe-Democrat. One day a well dressed
young man of genteel appearance and af
fable manner secured an audience with
McCullagh and asked him for a position
on the city staff. McCullaugh scru
tinized the young man carefully, thought
a moment, and replied that there was no
vacancy on the staff then, but encourag
ingly invited him to return and see him.
This he did sevral times from day to day,
but without success.
Meanwhile another reporter drifted into
the city. He was anything but genteel in
appearance. A dirty, collarless shirt was
partly exposed by an ill-fitting, faded coat
that had seen better days. His panta
loons were frazzled at the bottoms and
were a good match for his coat. Shoes
cracked and almost soleless but scantily
clad his feet. An ill-shapen hat conceal
ed but a small part of his unkempt head.
Threekveeks’ growth of beard was on his
face. This was the man who approached
the editor and struck him for a job, stat
ing at the same time that he was just
from the west and wanted work. The ed
itor looked up at him from his paper with
a feeling of suspicion and not without
some inward amusement at the appli
cant’s woe-begone appearance.
“Sit down,” spoke the editor, throwing
aside the paper he was reading. After
several questions the editor took the young
fellow to the city editor. Introducing them,
and ordered that he be assigned to gen
eral work. And the well-dressed man is
still Waiting for his Job.
So common were such occurrences that
Mr. McCullagh soon became distinguished
among the floating reporters for this ec
centricity. Not a few have been able to
fool him by attiring themselves like tramps
before applying to him for positions. Shab
by attire and a general disreputable ap
pearance was always a qualification that
outweighed any other with “Little Mack.”
Editor McCullagh was not a believer In
the editorial department of a newspaper.
He ran that branch simply because It was
a foolish custom, as he termed it, of met
ropolitan newspapers. His chief desire
was to publish purely a newspaper, cover
ing all news fully and succinctly, and clas
sifying in Its proper sphere. The business
end of the paper he held to be co-ordinate
with the news department.
While custom forced him to run an edi
torial page in the Globe-Democrat, he
wttnted short editorials. It was frequently
his habit, when a long editorial was sub
mitted to him by one of the writers, to
send it to the printers without so much as
reading it, on the prlncipte, as he said,
that nobody else would read it. Short ed
itorials he read carefully, believeing that
probably one man in ten would read them
after perusing the news.
It was a standing rule of the office that
not a word of advertising matter should
appear in a news story. A violation of this
subjected the writer of the story to pay.
ment for the advertisement at regular
rates. It was also a special rule of the of
fice that no mention of the editor's broth
er’s firm in St. Louis should ever be made
in any shape or manner. This brother wr..‘
a manufacturer of sporting goods, and not
infrequently there would be news that
would almost necessitate the naming of
the firm. The editor argued that his space
was his stock in trade and if his brother
or any one else wanted an advertisement
he must make arrangements with the bus
iness office for the same.
McCullagh was actively connected with
the old Chicago Republican Just a year to
a day. He and his two partners In that
enterprise bought the paper on the Bth
day of October, 1870, and were burned
out on the Bth day of October, 1871.
"It seemi and to take the ambition out of
him a little to lose his interest In that
way,” said one of those partners yester
day. "He was asked if iie would take hold
and start up the paper again, but ho
wouldn't agree to do It. He had an offer
of a position in Bt. Louis that would pro
vide him with a living, ami that satlsf! 1
him for that time. The disposal of the
Republican was left to me. It was rather
a disturber then In the newspaper com
munity here. We put up a little shanty
on the w.-st side and continued to get out
a little hand bill every day after the Un
to keep alive our franchise in the West
ern Press Association.
“The Republican, being Independent in
polities and rather a disturber to the old
Times and the Tribune, we thought we
could sell out what of our plant wus left
and the good will of the paper to them,
and let them Extinguish the paper if they
desired, or do what they liked with i .
Mr. Storey was In favor of buying, bit
the Tribune people would not agree to It.
So we sold the paper to J. Young Scam
mon, and ho at once changed its namo
to the Inter Ocean. McCullagh's share
of the proceeds set him on his feet again
in St. Louis.
“To me one of the peculiar things about
McCullagh was his absolute hatred of
having his name in print. That feeling
was stronger in him than in any one else
I ever knew. He was a peculiar fellow
when he was here. lie had no strong
friendships, no affections that bored under
his skin. He was cold and unapproach
able, and not a man one could warm up
to at all. He never called in a friendly
way on the people of his craft and did not
make it agreeable for others to call on
him. In those days his leading character
istics wore the leading characteristics of
a black and tan terrier; he would follow
the man with whom his interests happen
ed to be thrown. There seemed to be
nothing of binding friendship or affection
in his makeup. His qualities in that re
gard were negative. While not repulsive,
they were not qualities on which perma
nent friendship could not be founded.
“The Republican, as he ran it, was in
dependent in politics. Otherwise It was
made up in much the same fashion as was
the Globe-Democrat under McCullagh's di
rection. There was a great deal of his
personality about it.”
TOLD UNCANNY STORIES.
Some of the Weird Tales Which
Were Heard la Old Scotland.
From the New York Telegram.
Burns tells that in his boyish days he
owed much to an old woman who resided
in the family, and who had, he supposed,
the largest collection In the country of
tales and songs concerning devils, ghosts,
witches, wraiths and other such trumpery.
When I was a boy in Girvan stories of the
same kind were plentiful when the talk
began at the fireside in the long winter
nights. And most vividly do I remember
the fearful joy with which I used to lis
ten to them, and the speedy race hoirte I
had (not looking over my shoulder) when
the party had broken up. Burns says that
so strong an effect had those stories on
his imagination that even in his later
years he kept a sharp lookout in suspicious
places, and I suppose most of us can say
fhe' ! same.
Many of the stories I used to hear refer
red to ghosts, warning knocks before
death and unearthly cries proceeding from
places where people had been drowned or
murdered. But the devil figured largely
in others, and the hole in the rock near
Lendal was pointed to as circumstantial
evidence that could not be gainsaid, as
well as tile circular rings on the summit
of Craiganrarie. But these stories were
not grewsome enough to some tastes, arid
so for the special delectation the story of
Culzean's burial used to be told in full de
tail, and was ever listened to with bated
breath.
Sir Archibald Kennedy of Culzean, who
shot Gilbert McAdam at Kirkmichael,
came himself to die. I dare say the man
may have persuaded himself that he had
done nothing more than his duty in shoot
ing the Covenanter,but not so thought the
neasantry of the west. And so, after his
funeral in the old College of Maybole, aw
ful stories began to spread themselves
abroad. It was affirmed that the cbffin
got so heavy at times on the road that
the horses could not draw it, while at
other times it got so light that it could
hardly be held down.
This circumstance was uncanny enough
In all conscience, but it did not point to
anything definite. And so this additional
circumstance was vouched for—that on
the day of the funeral (the date was 1710)
a vessel belonging to Girvan (so there
could be no doubt of it) was sailing in the
Firth of Clyde, when the captain saw a
chariot with horses of fire careering along
the surface of the sea. He boldly hailed
it in nautical phrase: “From whence to
whence?” And the awful reply came
back: “From hell to Culzean’s burial.”
That settled the matter. There could be
no doubt after that, and so we boys drew
a long breath and made home for bed.
