1 JOS. PULITZER.
The Proprietor of the Greatest
Paper in Existence.
J
' Tne Success of The New York World
, Reads Like a Fairy Taie-What
The Paper Earned Last Year
Editing by Cablegrams.
>
Evening Post Bureau.)
200 West 47th, St.)
e New York, Aug. 23. Modern
. journalism in America is bringing to
the front new men and new ideas.
Most conspicious of the recent suc
cesses is Joseph Pulitzer, of the New
York World. The stoiy of the rise
of that journal in popularity, and of
its proprietor in wealth, is almost
like a fairy tale. "Guess how much
money the ’World earnoil as clear
profits last year,” said one of Mr.
Pulitzer’s friends to me a few days
ago. I hazarded a guess at a half
million dollars. “You fall far short,”
said the gentleman. “Last year the
World made a net profit of $1,200,-
000. The receipts from the Sunday
World alone are enough to pay the
entire expense of the establishment
leaving the earnings of the paper on
the other six days and of the Weekly
World as clear profit. There is no
: other paper in the world that makes
half so much profit. Probably the
New York Herald is earning three
or four huudrad thousand dollars a
. year. There are other papers in
New York which earn small fortunes
‘ every year. The Chicago Tribune
■’ makes a net yearly profit of $200,000
for its owners, and the News makes
halfas much. What the Chicago
2 Herald makes is not known, for the
reason that about all of its profits,
which are very large, go into new
j presses and buildings.”
“Does Mr. Pulitzer keep close eye
upon his journal?” I asked.
“He thinks of nothing else. He
r °
devotes all his time to the paper. If
he is in Europe an outline of the
r contents of the paper is cabled him
every morning. Usually this is done
by transmitting the headlines of the
1 more important articles. If the
World has any exclusive items of
news—news which no other paper
has—this is often cabled him in full
and Mr. Pulitzer measures the value
of a man’s work largely by the num
ber of exclusive items he is able to
5 send in. Every exclusive brings a
complimentary letter from Mr. Pulit
zer himself, and a succession of ex
clusives elicits [reward in the
• shape of a fat check or other hand
some present. Mr. Pulitzer, like Mr.
Bennett of the Herald, is in eonstant
communication with his assistants
j by cable and the policy of the paper
is dictated by him from da}’ to day.
He often cables over editorials
which he has himself written anent
r the news of the previous day, anil
nothing could illustrate better than
this the wonderful facilties there are
in this day for a man on one side of
the ocean keeping himself en rapport
• with what is happening on the other
side.
! “Mr. Pulitzer is a hard worker.
He has built up his paper on ideas,
on project for attracting the public
attention, on novelties, and he has
himself furnished many of _the most
1 successful plans of campaign. Though
he has an income of $1,200,000 a
year from the World and $200,000
• from the St. Louis Post Dispatch, he
insists upon keeping right along at
' work. His health, as you know, is
( very poor, and his eyesight has al
most failed him, but he shuts him-
> selfiaa dark room, has the dis
patches an J the paper read to aim
1 by his secretary, and dictates his re
plies and instructions. Scarcely a
day passes in which Col. Uockerill,
and his associates of the staff are
not surprised by the evidences placed
before them of Mr. Pulitzer’s acti
vity and ingenuity. lie is a singu
larly inventive man. For instance,
the plan of having voting contests
for the most popular school teacher
most popular police oflicer and so on
originated with him.
“The world indulged in a number
of such contests, and roused so
much public interest that the cir
j culation of the paper jumped up
many thousands. But it was Found :
| tiiat us soon us u c<ml< st had been ■
decided the sales druppe I buck ;
again. Mi. Pulitzer’s < id»l • d:s
patches keep him us closely advised
| <»f the progress of affairs io the busi
I
ness office as of the editorial depart
ment, and when those
in circulation were flashed across the
sea to him he promptly cabled,
•What docs this mean?’ In reply
Uol. Uockerill said lie attributed it
to cessation of interest in the voting
contests, whereupon Mr Pulitzer re
turned, ‘No more voting contests in
the World.’ Thus it has happened
that the World, which was the first
paper to take up the voting scheme,
was first to drop it.”

Under the Wheel-
George Wright, a streetcar driver,
had his left foot badly mashed
Saturday evening at 5:30 o’clock.
About 5 o’clock he got a leave of
absence from Mr. Moore, the fore
man of the line, and went up New
castle street to make weekly pur
chases. The purchases being made,
he attempted to board the street car
to return to his work. The (car was
being run by John Baptist, who, as
Wright boarded the car, made a mo
tion with the whip as if to strike him
(Wright).
Wright, in dodging the blow, fell
off the car, his foot slipping under
the front wheel was terribly mashed.
Wright was taken to Dr. Currie s
drug store where the foot was
dressed. No bones Jwerc broken and
he will soon be able to take his place
on the car.

DAVID A. MILLS
And His Excursion Into Eternity
Yesterday Morning.
A Most Tragic Death on the Bruns
wick and Western Railroad
He Started to Brunswick
and St. Simon’s.
An excursion into eternity. A
frightful, hideous death—a soul
ushered into th i boundless beyond
without one ray of heavenly light to
dispel the gathering gloom.
Last Saturday night an excursion
train left Columbus for Brunswick
via Albany. The train consisted of
an engine and tender and eight pas
senger coaches.
At Albany, the ears that had not
been filled were completely packed
with excursionists. Among the
number was David A. Mills, of
Smithville.
It is useless to that strong
drink flowed freely, and act a few of
the excursionists were beginning to
succumb to its effects. Conspicuous
for his boisterous conduct was this
David A. Mills, already mentioned.
Mills’ liquor had anything but a
soothing effect. Indeed it was not
long before he began to show signs
of temporary mental aberatiou.
About midnight Mills terrified
everybody by whipping out two
dangerous looking revolvejs and
emptying their contents into the top
of the rear car. Excitement ran
high. Nojody on board, not even
the conductor, had the courage to
approach this madman, and relieve
him of his weapons. In less time
than it takes to tell it, the revolvers
were reloaded, and angrily did they
gleam as they were flourished around
and around.
The situation was one of supreme
peril and it was not long before the
car was emptied and the man who
had emptied it was alone in bh
glory. Two or three of the more
curious stopped on the platform out
side the car to see what this de
mented Selkirk intended to do. And
they will never forget the scenes
that followed.
After again firing his revolvers,
amid most horryfying yells, Mills
proceeded to slash every cushioned
seat in the car. His next m >ve was
to knock down every lamp with his
bare fists. Then he began to kick
out the window panes. His plan
was to lay supinely on a seat and
kick the opposite window pane until
it was shivered into a thousand
pieces.
Directly the noise ceased and one
of the watchers opened door
and stealthily crept inside. Stretched
at full length did he find the man
who had created such consternation
among his fellow excursionists and
such devastation of property. And
strange to say the man was dead.
Several others were called in and an
examination was made.
Sure enough David A. Mills had
made an excursion into eternity. He
bad cut the arteries in both legs by
kicking out window panes, and had
bled to death. There was a general
sigh of relief at the announcement.
When the train pulled into Waycross
the battered car, with the dead body
of Mills, was side-tracked and the
remainder of the train came on to
Brunswick.
F. A. Walpole, a typo on the Al
bany News and Advertiser, was an
eye witness to this tragic event, and
from him the facts in the case were
gathered. It is not known whether
Mills was a married man or not. His
body was Carried back to Albany
last night.

Mr. Henry T. Dunn said to a Post (

, friends to visit us, and the gaslight i
, went completely out before nine t

I this morning, “I never have seen

life. It can’t be had at any price. •
r As long as negroes can steal and get 1
I a living 37 any other dishonest

WHO WILL WIN?-
Interest in the Race For May
oralty Deepens.
Judge A. J. Crovatt, and Messrs. M.
Ullman and M. J. Colson are
Being Urged to Make the
Race—Others Mentioned.
As the time approaches for the
selection of the next city executive,
interest in the race deepens. On
every side the question is being
asked, “Who will be the next
mayor?”
No one, as yet has formally an
nounced but it is understood that
strong influences are beipg made to
bear upon Judge A. J. Crovatt to in
duce him to enter the race. Then I
to Messrs M. Ullman and M. J. Col- J
son are prominently mentioned in
connection with the race. Messrs 4
Colson and Crovatt have both occu- J
pied the executive chair and both e
made enviable reputations.
•Mr. Ullman, is one of Brunswick’s
most enterprising and thoroughgoing
citizens and no doubt would make a
good mayor.
But the latest possibility is jud
Coker.’lt is understood that he i f J
ing urged to enter the race. / ■

the eitv expenses now. If I
mayor I could run the city
raent for less than half Shat amount
and I would have a more orderly city
in ten days than this place has been
in ten years.”
The Judge will in all probability
be in the race and will announce in
two or three days. Should he enter
the race he will probably have no
opposition.
