From tho New York Press. Reporters are at times too ofilclous for their breeches, as this story will prove: When Thomas KlnBclla was editor of tho Brooklyn Eagle, a bright young man In the city department was sent over to New York to nttend an im portant meeting that would have netted him about a stickful of space. Down In Pearl street happening to stroll ho came across one of the great shipping mer chants, whoso connections with South American republicans enabled him to get much vatuable news, and, being ac quainted with tho gentleman, asked if there was anything new. "Why, yes," said tho merchant. "There's big news. The president of Bolivia has been ns sasslnated, and war with Chile has broken out. The whole country Is fighting, Hnsn't been such a ruction in South America In years." This was a good atory, and looked as if it might bo a "beat." Our reporter dropped everything else and went to work on it. Hoping to surprise the office with an excellent account of the revolution the young man deferred mentioning it to the city editor until he had written about two columns, when he marched proudly to the desk" to turn It In. Mr. Klnsclla happened to be near by. "Havo you turned in a report of that meeting?" asked the city editor. "No, sir," was the reply; "I got hold of a big piece of news and have been busy working on it all day. The meeting will bo coveted by 'city press,' and It Isn't worth a paragraph." Kinsella chipped in: "What did you say you havo been doing?" "Writing an nccount of a revo lution In Bolivia; president assassinat ed: war with Chile; whole country fighting." "Who ordered you to do it, sir?" "It's a 'beat' I happened to get on," The old editor raved. "Let me glvo you to understand once for all, sir, that tho people of Brooklyn care nothing for revolutions and murders and wars in South America when thoy can read in the Eagle an account of Mr. McLaughlin or Mr. Beecher or Mr. Stranahan or any other prominent citi zen slipping on n banana peel and spraining his foot! Understand that, sir! Don't forget It. That meeting was a small affair, but two of the directors are Brooklyn men, and Brooklyn read ers want to know what they did D n your revolution!" In his heat he tore up the story of South America and dis charged the reporter. LLVIED ON A HOT DINNT.K. Landlord Saw Thnt Ho Wns Corncrod nnd I'ni'l Over Iho Money. Memphis Commercial-Appeal. "The most interesting levy I ever heard of," said 'Squire Bell, "was one that I made some time in 18GR or 1869, when I was marshal of tho Memphis Municipal court. I had a judgment against old Colonel Cockerlll, who used to run a hotel. I had tried arid tried to collect It until four clays of the time I was allowed were left. "I went to see the colonel again. I told him that he would have to do something. He said that if I would just wait till Tuesday, which was the last day of the term, he would settle up. " 'Suppose you make it Monday, Colonel,' I sa'd, for I knew that 'if I failed to make tho levy on Tuesday my execution was dead, and I wanted a day of grace. Well, tho Colonel agreed to settle up on Monday. "When Monday enme the Colonel was awfully sick, and his three boys, who were In the office, would let nobody see him. There were in those days, just as there are now, a lot of men lying around and waiting to get on tho jury. I had counted the doors of the hotel dining room, and I picked out a man for each door and gave them $1.D0 apiece nnd took them down to tho hotel. When tho gong sounded for dinner I had a man stand at each door with orders to let no ono in. There was a great deal of travel in those days, and the hotel was crowded. Pretty soon the people began to fill up the halls and wonder what was the matter. The doors of the dining room were glass, and the peo plo could see the tables set und the waiters standing round, but they couldn't get in. "This didn't last very long before tho old Colonel sent for me. 'I call this a low trick, Mr. Ball,' ho said. " 'No low trick at all, Colonel,' said I. 'I have done a thing never done be foro in the world. I have levied on a hot dinner, and I am going to hold it till that money's paid.' "The Colonel waxed wroth and swore that he would beat the attorney in the case just as soon ns he got well. But, finding that his gettlngtot didn't keep tho dinner from getting cold, he finally sent for the bookkeeper, who brought up about $300, which lacked just $150 of satisfying the judgment. Tho Colo nel wunted to get off with this, but I demanded security. He was lying in bed, and reached under his pillow and handed me a watch and chain worth twice ns much as was still due." M-H- t WE WOULD advise all clubs and or- ganizations who will need athletic goods for the coming season to place their orders uow, so they may be filled be fore the usual rush be gins. tf ,211 N.
