Laurence band, of the central city,
will In n lew weeks give nn open air
concert on this side, and the only de
tail yet to lie arranged is the location
where the concert will be given. The
beaulful plot adjoining the olllces and
residence of Mrs. M. Itoblnsoii is the
most acceptable place, but whether this
lady will give the band permission to
use her ground has not et been ascer
tained, and the "orchard" Is also a lo
cation desirable, but It Is not as cen
tial as the aforementioned plot.
Th- coming concert will be the Initia

season, the Germanla and Quid's bands

The recipient of these honors was
given several timely presents. Mrs.
Vvmbs, assisted by Mioses Cella Con

the comfort of the little guests.
TOO MUCH PATRIOTISM.
This sort of patriotism which leads
one to drape bunting around his porch
lallings, etc., and to hang out Hags
for the gentle breezes to blow about
has received a damper on several oc
casions on this side. P01 several days
past bunting and flags, eRher In part
or whole have been disappearing from
several residences along South Main
avenue. It has now become somewhat
pievnlent and complaints aro being
made.
In one case tho party to the theft
Is known and steps may bo taken to
recov er the property. In the other In
stances, the display of flags and bunt
ing will, no doubt, adorn some one
else's hous.e front and the result Is
tho same.
TARCE IN MEARS HALL.

REPORTING IN ENGLAND.
It Is Not tho Pleasant Task Thnt It li
in the United Mnti--NovTpnncr
Methods Tliote nuet Ilore.
Prom tho London News
A greater contrast is presented by
tho way in which newspapers are con
ducted In England nnd America than
by any other Institution common to the
two countries. A smnrt New York re
porter would get Ills paper Into a libel
suit, or find himself In Jail ior con
ducting hla work here In the American
way, almost as quickly as an English
reporter would find himself discharged
from a Yankee paper, for not knowing
news when it was handed him, if lie
followed tho cautious lines be has been
accustomed to in Great Britain.
One striking difference In the Jour
nalism of the two great English speak
ing countries is tho giving out of de
tails, or assignments, to reporters. In
America a man comes to the office
about noon nnd receives tho very latest
Information to hand by post, w Ire, or
"ticker" (the tape), while In England
members of the staff, If they do not
receive nn overnight letter or wlie from
the office, at their home in the morn
ing, are free for tho day and draw their
salary Just tho same. In this country
the valuable man is tho "literal y chap"
with the neat gift of throwing together
stereotyped phrases. In New York the
man who makes the money Is the wide
awake, enterprising, up to date fellow
who gets out his own assignments nnd
comes to the office every day primed
with ideas for working up good news
stories. Hero a reporter who brings In
an idea Is apt to be considered Imperti
nent. On this side a reporter looks on
an engagement as it gallery man In the
house as a big thing., there he consid
ers all routine work beneuth him Here
a man goes out on nn assignment and
If the person sought does not wish to
express his views, he comes back empty
handed Thete a reporter who returned
thus a few times from Interviewing
trips would lose ills position.
NOT WELL THOUGHT OF.
In England nenrly ull reporters are
first-class shoithand men, in Ameiica
shorthand wilting among newspaper
men is almost unknown. Probably on
account of the larger leisure class here,
English readers want exactly what .1
speaker has said, and then draw their
own conclusions from it; here what Is
wanted Is a bright, enterprising article.
wun the salient points made the most
of, the rest fading away in the per
spective. Among the first things that an
American newspaper man discovers in
thl country Is that ho Is not so well
considered here as lie is at home. Here
eetybody takes jou for a penny-a-liner.
It is a little puzzling to understand how
a well dressed man can bo set down
this way, often by people who do not
make half what he does In the course
of the year, but that Is the geneial im
pression I went Into a Bond street
Jeweler's when I first came to England,
to ask an explanation of a curious thing
I had noticed In the window, with the
Intention of writing It up If I found It
newsy. The dealer, who took me for a
probable purchaser, explained what I
wanted to know kindly enough. Then
I gave him my card. An American
would havo redoubled his efforts to
please, and tiled to get me to make an
article on tho subject. This man said,
after a little, "Now, that will make a
lot of 'copy' for you, won't it?" I had
Intended writing a half column on what
was realv an interesting subject, but
the patronizing remark settled it. I
put It In the paper In about six lines.
NON-COMMUNICATIVE OFFICIALS.
But It Is in trying to obtain Important
information from the houses of parlia
ment and about the foreign and colonial
offices that an American reporter learns
how surprisingly ill served tho English
are content to be, as regards news. No
alderman In New York, no legislator at
Albany, no congressman at Washing
ton, haidly the president of tho United
States himself, would daro to be so
scant of courtesy and disobliging to
even an unimportant American news
paper man as are some private secie
taries, and even liveried attendants, In
English official life to representatives,
not of the news agencies alone, but of
the biggest London dallies. It is al
most Impossible to get an interview
with a man like Chamberlain, people
are content to gather his views In the
report of one of his speeches at some
country hustings, and wait for an ex
planation of un Important diplomatic
move on the lloor of the house The
nearest the most expeit, enterprising
and capable reporter can get to un ac
count of a cabinet meeting, or a hint of
the premier's policy, is a nod or smile
from one of the prlvute secretaries to
the effect that some wild guess the ro
poiter has hazarded Is not altogether
wrong, or a flat denial of some canard
the reporter has brought in. An Ameri
can newspaper man In his own country
who could not get, at first hand, fresh
news from the biggest politician would
soon mnke life not worth living for that
politician.
Only a few days ago I saw In a copy
of the most widely read social paper
in Ameiica a paragraph which ran like
this. 'Mrs. Blank, the Intimate friend
of Mr and Mrs McKinley, is not meet
ing with nnythlng like tho social suc
cess In Washington which her wealth,
beauty nnd position gave her the right
to expect It is nn open secret that
Mrs. Blank's social failure la due to
her cool treatment of the newspaper
representatives who were at Canton In
the closing days of the campaign " The
lady's name was printed.
INTERVIEWING IN ENGLAND.
Another surprise awaits the Ameri
can reporter in England when he goes
out Interviewing Objectionable as
some features of American journalism
are, the general respect for a reporter
over there is such that never once,
even when I have hud such a disagree
able assignment as going to a houso
where father or husband, son or broth
er, lay dead, In order to get up facts
for an obituary, have I ever been re
ceived witli anything except the great
est couitesy and given the Information
I wanted The average for courtesy,
certulnly, for polish, Is higher hero than
It Is there, but nn Englishman can nev
er get It out of his head that nn In
tel viewer Is nn intruder. He has not
been educated up to the fae t that his
business Is ilso other people's busi
ness It takes more tact and diplomacy
to find out fiom an Englishman the
merest detnll of ever day llfo than It
would to make good friends of Fiance
and Germnny.
To Interview a man for unv thing ex
cept something he wants to get Into the
paper ns a "puff" Is an ait You tiy to
muke a good first impression on jour
victim, then endeavor to give him nrr
idea thnt it would be no haun to any
body and a great favor to you if ho
would tell about a few unlmpoitant lit
tle facts Of course, this is only the A
B C of the science. Sometimes a man
too artful to bo easily caught Is sur
prised Into telling all ho knows by a
"bluff" of knowing all about It anyway,
or by telling him that some outrageous
canard floating about Is whut jou are
going to print the following duy, If he
cannot aid vou by showing how false
It Is.
RETRACTIONS.
Almost nny Englishman of nny Im
portance that I havo over talked with
has punctunted his conversation with,
