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.” Do you Need Money.

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. Remember we don’t advertise one thing and mean another. Read our “ad” and call on us for bargains. J. J. Lissnek & Co.

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. — Prescriptions filled afl hours, day or night, at Dr. M. L.« Currie ifc Co.’s drug store. Night bill on the door. I wk POLICE NEWS. A large number of eases were dis posed of in the recorder's court this morning and several dollars were ad<led to the city’s suiplus. Messrs. J. A.

The ear was loaded with lumber and . was being side tracked preparatory ( to unloading. A hack was secured and Grant was driven to his home , on South Cochran avenue, where his wants received proper attention. ♦ - ♦ -- The Car Brought To Brunswick-. The passeqgei coach, in which 1 David A. Mills, of Smithville, died 1 yesterday morning, was biought to 1 Brunswick this morning. Almost 6 every sash was kicked out and the 1 interior of the. car was bespattered ( with blood throughout. The car I * was taken to the shops where it will 1 be thoroughly cleansed and repaired. It was visited by numbers of people r this morning. c ntn 2 The Gas Again. Mr. Henry T. Dunn said to a Post ( reporter this morning: —“I am i thoroughly .disgusted with our gas r , supply. It is an outrage to be iiu t I posed upon by a corporation as the i , pepole of this city are by the gas i , company. L ist nigh', we had several £ , friends to visit us, and the gaslight i , went completely out before nine t . o’clock. It has become an uubear- < , able nuisance.” I * ■* ” I Death of Mr. H. H. Churchill. Prof. J. E. Asborn, of the Ogle- , thorpe orchestra, received a letter , last Saturday announcing the death ( of Mr. H. Hudson Churchill, a mem ( i her of the Oglethorpe orchestra and | most favorably known to the people j of Brunswick. Mr. Churchill was , I the son of Dr. A. 11. Churchill, a ( prominent physician of Meriden, r j Conn. He was only twenty-four ( years old and was the idol of his parents While in Brunswick Mr. ( Churchill made many friends whose ■ ’ heartfelt sympathies go out to his grief stricken parent's in a distant | state. , s Cooks on the Strike. - Servants seem to be on a strike. c 1 Everybody is complaining of the I scarcitv of hired assistance. 1 A gentleman said to a Post reporter I this morning, “I never have seen hired help so scarce before in my 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 i method, they will not work for love 9 i or money. I think -i labor agent 1 would find it profitable to bring 1 down white help from the north. Negro help must go. They ure i neither decent nor honest and 1 hope r the time is near when their assis tance will not be needed any where u ■ in the south. I shall hereafter em- q ploy none but white servants for my I house work.” . _ ti THE CUMBERLAND PROJECT. 8 i The Originators Find it Easy to « Secure Shares in the Company.

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. / ■ reporter called upon the genis J this morning and found him in hearing the case of J ija.i.-i Hattie Johns ■>taki- iv::» t:. !

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. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. R. J. Mills left this morning for Rome. Mr. R. S. Lang, of Satilla, was in the city yesterday. Capt.
