JUS' OI.II POSITION.
tircnt Kdltor Who Ilnd Boon An En
gineer on tlio Times.
Plxlcy, in the Tlmes-IIorald.
Several years ago, when the wave of
municipal speculation was at Its height
nnd "boom" towns were springing up
like mushrooms throughout the south,
I was sent Into Alabama by a New
York paper to look over the new
"cities."
At one place I found tliht a "land
and Improvement company" had been
organized with $5,000,000 capital and the
boomers had started out to build a
city Just as an ordinary business men
would organize a manufacturing plant,
Streeis were cut through the woods for
miles In each direction, and were curb
ed and guttered nnd lighted by electric
lamps. Electric street cars made regu
lar trips along these thoroughfares. Of
course they carried no passengers, for
the city ns yet had no residents. There
were a few houses, scattered here nnd
there, which had been built by tho com
pany. It was expected that ultimately
the intervening wastes would b? cov
ered ny residences erected by newcom
ers. In the midst of the woods was a
first-class hotel, thoroughly equipped
in every department. It cost probably
$100,000, and was doing business with
out a guest. An elaborate waterwoiks
system was In operation, with no one to
use the water, and there vtna a tele
phono exchange with several hundred
Instruments scattered about the woods
all paid for by the "boom" corpora
tion. The president of the "company"
found me at the hotel, and volunteered
to explain the fine points of his "city."
Finally ho said: "Of course, sah, we
have a dally papah heah, but It doesn't
strike me as being Just right somehow.
It doesn't look like the Cincinnati En
quirer, snh, and I wish you would look
It ovahand see what's the mattah'."
He explained that the Journalist
who had charge of the dally had come
from the Chicago Times, and had been
set to work because of his evident ex
perience In newspaper work. It was a
morning dally, and that evening I call
ed at the sanctum to pay my respects
to the Chicago man. He proved to be
an impressive fellow, with a shiny
Prince Albert coat and a silk hat. In
one corner of the room a telegraph op
erator was receiving the full report of
the best press association in the world.
Several compositors were setting It in
small pica, Just as It came In, without
any headlines whatsoever except the
one word "Telegraphic," which led the
first page. It was a hopeless Jumble
of fires, collisions, market reports
robberies and other news matter, and
running through it alt was an obituary
of Senator Conkllng a few lines of
Conkllng, then a fire; more Conkling,
then a robbery; more Conkllng, and a
collision, and so on throughout the
page.
"How large a staff do you have?" I
Inquired.
"Well, there are four setting to
night," he replied, evidently referring
to the compositors.
"How many reporters?" I asked.
"None," he said, "I'm 'the whole
thing."
"How do you get your local news?"
I asked.
"By telephone," was the reply.
"If anybody hears anything he usual
ly telephones It In. If he doesn't care
enough about It to do that, why, It
doesn't get into the paper, that's all.
I can't run after such things."
"You are from Chicago, I believe,"
I ventured.
"Used to be," ho said. "I was with
the Times till two years ago. Then I
went to purchasing cattle on a ranch
out west and stayed there till I drifted
Into this Job."
"I know a great many of tho Chi
cago newspaper boys," I remarked.
"What position did you hold on the
Times?"
Casting a glance toward the com
positors and drawing closer so that
the president of the "company" couM
not overhear him, he said confidential
ly: "Don't give it away. I was the
engineer."

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
ITow York, Aug. 13. Quito a number of
factos combined today to execlso a. rath
er depressing influence on values on tho
Stock exchange. There were also other in
cidents which, while not calculated to
have any effect on Intrinsic values, served
to put a damper on the speculative ardor
which his become rampant In Wall street.
Tho tone of weakness and hesitancy on
tho wheat market on account of lower
prices abroad nnd a diminished export de
mand were most koenly felt In tho stock
maket. But every department of tho
market was more or less Influenced on
tho ground tha tho return of general
prosperity will bo moro helped by good
