NEWSPAPERS: SOME
FACTS ABOUT THEM
OVER 2,000 DAILIES IN
UNITED STATES,
THE
Pennsylvania Leads tho List of
8tates in tho Number of Its Folded
Multiples of Thought, and New
York Comes Second Somo Note
worthy Peculiarities in the Dis
tribution of tho Press.
From the New Yolk Hun.
There are In the Unltml states about
2.U0 dully nowsimpprs the word
"about" Is used In that connection In
view of the fact that the able and
persistent statistician who collect
jmwspaper tlBurcs are not always to be
relied upon, nl least, their IlKUies are
not beyond the round-number limit.
However, they nto nenr enough for
the purposes of this article.
It might be naturally and pardonably
Inferred that New Voik h'ads this list,
but it docs not. Pennsylvania having
196 dallies to m In New Yotli. Illinois
comes next with 160, Ohio fourth, with
163, Indiana fifth, with 150, and Cali
fornia sixth, with 112, and no other
state has as hlcli as 100. The last in
the strlnsr are the District of Columbia
and AVyomlng, with 4 each. It may be
noted.ns a sort of a sooth, that Mass
achusetts, the educational center of
Hie universe, with 81. Is llrst among
those out of the hundred chins.
PECULIAltlTlKS.
A ctudy of the dally newspapei us
herein set forth may be of Interest as
showing the character and enterprise
of tho people of a country. It also
t-hows a few peculiarities, nnd prove-
that reasoning by analogy doesn't al
ways come out according to rule. Tor
Instance. It might be supposed that If a
elty of 13,000 people, ns Is tSuthrle,
'ilnhoma, had two morning papers,
lty ten times that size ought to have
enty morning papers, whereas. It not
"nly does not, but It must crow to be
larger than any city In the United
States except New York city, when,
with thlrtv mornlnc miners. Is elchteen
to the cood of Chicago and Phlladel-
phla, with n dozen each. It might also
be inferred that It a city of 13,000 people
had no evening paper, as Guthrie has, !
then towns of that size do not support
evening papers, whereas every town
of that size In the country, and mnr.y
considerably less, have evening papers,
unless they are practically suburbs of
large cities. Therefore, the facts knock
the analogy rule galley-west, so to say.
And yet It would seem that as small
towns can and do support dally news
papers, the large cities ought to make
a better showing In the same direc
tion, though It may be allowed that
the extra cost of the dallies In the
large cities enables them to make It
possible for the dailies to exist In the
smaller towns, the bulk of the news In
such papers being confined to the less
expensive local matter. There are
very few If any towns In this country
of sufllclent size to support u dally
paper which are not near enough to
a Inrge city to receive the dallies on
tha day of Issue, nnd all the small
towns sub'crlhe liberally to the city
dallies, thus enabllnc locni editors to
save expensive telegraph tolls, und
make their papers Interesting by pub
lishing such local news in detail as
tho city papers do not have.
IN THK HlO CITIKS.
Of the cities of the Imltcd States,
New York city heads the list with 55
dallies, 31 morning and 21 evening,
which includes a number of stock, law
nnd other class papci which are not
really newspapers. Of these all of the
morning and 13 of the evening pupers
are published in the borough of .Man
hattan. This number for a population
of about 3,700,000 Is smaller In pro
portion than that of other large cities,
for Chicago, with l.SOO.000 and Phila
delphia with 1,200.000, have 27 and 20
dallies each. And here appears an
other peculiarity, to wit, tho prevalence
of the evening paper. New York hai
7 more morning than evening papers,
and Philadelphia 4 more, while Chi
cago has 7 more evening than morn
ins papers. In other words, Chicago
has 7 less evening papers than New
York with Its much larger population,
and 7 more than Philadelphia. Why
this should be so is not altogether
clear, for it is generally understood
that the Chlcagneso are fond of amuse
ments and gadding about, while the
Phllndelphlans are noted as home
bodies, and It Is a Known fact that
tho people who stav home of nlirht i
jikc tneir evening papers. Among New
York dallies are 3 Italian, 1 French, !
German, 2 Pohemlan, 1 Arable and 3
Hebrew, or more dallies In foreign lan
guages than any othei city In tho
fnlon except Chicago nnd Philadel
phia, has of nil kinds; and the snni'
number. IS, that San Francisco lias.
By the way, Chicago, uith 7 German
papers, makes a better ccmparatlvo
howlng than New York .loei. She has
11 dallies In foreign languages. 7 Ger
man, 2 Bohemian, 1 Polish nnd 1 Scan
dinavian, which is more than any oth
er except San Francirco, which has C,
3 Italian, 2 German end 1 Japinese,
having In this last regard n acoop on
all other cities, oven polyglot New
York, not being up to that Japanese
starftard.
VTIOS TO POPULATION.
While no regular ratio of naner in
population exlKts In towns which have
but one paper or even two evening
papers. It seems that a morning paper
nnd tin, evening paper do not estab
lish themselves In a town until it has
ut least 25,000 people. But tills does
r,ot mean that a city of 50,000 people
will have twice that many, for Ilgures
bhow that It is hard sledding In most
cltks of 50,00(1 to carry two mornlnff

300,000 population, mnlws the best

one morning and one evening to her
1.S00 population, scoops all competi
tors. COMPARISONS.
IJoston, with u population of hulf a
million souls, most of them highly in
tellectual, and alt of them sure that all
of them are, has a dozen papers, seven
of them evening, and yet Boston Is the
best theater town in the coiintry.whleh
shows that the people read their even
ing papers next day or on the cats
going home.
Brooklyn Is the largest city without
a morning paper. Its million or so peo
ple having only evening homo papers,
and only live of them. Jersey City, with
a couple of hundred thousand
people, more of less, has only two
evening papers nnd no morning, but
these cities are too close to New York
to worry over a home-made paper ev
ery morning.
As a rule, the newer the town Is, the
l"e more westerly it is, tno more news
papers It Is supposed to have, but the
rule doesn't work, for Seattle and
Tacoma, with 50,000 population each,
have only a morning and evening pa-
per apiece, while Mobile, Ala., with
135,000, has one morning and two even
ing, and Portland, Me., with 37,000, has
two morning and three evening. Port
land, Ore., with a claimed population
of a hundred thousand, has only two
morning and two evening papers, not
an good a showing as her much
smaller Kastern namesake. Denver
which Is about the size of Indianapolis,
say l2.",0OO. has the same number of
morning papers, four, but its half
dozen evening papers are double the
number the Hoosler capital can sup
port. New Haven, with only about
1)0,000 population and three morning
and five evening papers, shows that
Yale has had an Influence to the In
crease of the reading public. All New
York papers also have a large support
In that town. Newark, N. J., Is tho
only city whose entire morning out
put Is German, and It has two papers
In that language, with two English
evening; it Is only nine miles from
New York and it has a population of
a quarter of a million.
OTHEIt COMPARISONS.
Buffalo, N. Y., with less than 300,000,
has eleven papers, seven of them even
ing, which give It a better showing
than Boston, with seven evening pa
pers to a half million people. Richmond,
Va., Is a morning paper town, having
four and only one evening to a popu
lation of 85,000. Kansas City, Mo., nnd
Cleveland, O., which had double tha
population of Kansas City at the Inst
census, run neck and neck with five
evening papers, nnd Cleveland, with
four morning, leads the Missouri town
by one. Allegheny, Pa., has one paper,
evening, to over a hundred thousand
people, but Its supply comes from
PlttPburg, which, with a quarter of a
million people, has eight morning nnd
two evening papers, just what Wash
ington city has with six times ns many
people and no other kind but represen
tative people either, barring about 80,000
colored people. Parkersburg, W. Va.,
with one morning nnd two evening pa
pers and 10,000 populatlon.makes a bet
ter showing than Nashville. Charles
ton, Galveston, Seattle, Tacoma, or
Topeka towns of from three to nine
times the size of the West Virginian.
If Chlcngo, with Its 1,800,000 people,
had newspapers In the ratio that Pros
cott, Ariz., has, that Is, a morning and
an evening paper to its 1,800 people, or
one to each 000, It would have 2,000
newspapers, an excess that would mako
even Chicago think she had enough.
For New York it would mean over 4,00'J
dally newspaers. The only town In the
list that shows an npproach to the
Prescott ratio Is PhocnU, Ariz., which
with 3,200 people, has two morning and
one evening ptfper.
Taking the full account of class and
news dalles, the ratio of papers to
population Is about as follows. New

Sunday School Lesson for January 29.
Christ at Jacob's Well
JOHN IV. 5-35.
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
CONTUXT. After the Interview with
Nlcodemus, Jesus and Hl dlsclplei
made a circuit In Judeu, round about
Jcrusuloiu, preaching and baptizing.
(John, ill 22.) At the same time John
the Uaptlst was nt Knon, engaged In
his usual pursuit, seeking to win men
to righteousness. There thus sprang
up certnln questions', because the two
hud nequlred extended reputation and
men desired to know their relation to
each other. These question gave the
Baptist occasion to bear testimony to
Jesus anil explain his own mission as
one of preparation for Hlin. Hut a Ut
ile later the Pharisees began to quib
ble on the question of his popularity
(verse J) und about the sumo time
Ilerod cast John Into prison. (Mat
thew, Iv, 12.) These two clrcumstunces
showed that opposition to the gospel
had been nwakened and that It was
destined to develop Into persecution.
Hence Jesus determined to retlro from
Judea and return to Gallllee, passing
through Samaria, which lay between.
(Verso 4.)
I-OCAMTY.-The sun had reached
the meridian, the sixth hour us the
Jews computed time, when Jeeus und
Ills disciples npproacheu a little city
of Sycluir or Khechem (verse C), situ
ated In the tinnow valley between
Mount Kbal nnd Mount Gerlzlm. The
place was one of historic Interest.
There Abram halted as ho came out or
llaran. (Genesis, xll, fi.) After the
conquest it was made a city of refuge.
(Joshua, xx, 7.) Not far distant was
a parcel of ground which Jacob gave
to Joseph (Gent-sin, xlvlll, 22), where
that patriarch had sunk n well, which
still remained, although seventeen cen
turies had passed away. In Kastern
countries, where water Is scarce, a well
is highly prized, and the owners gen
erally plant trees or build booths near
by und erect a wall so that one may
rest from the heat. Jesiw halted and
sat down under tho shade thus fur
nished, being weary, while Ills disciples
went away to the little city to buy food.
(Verse 0.) The Journey had been per
formed on foot and this proved an ac
ceptable resting place.
REFRESHMENT. Shortly a Samar
itan woman, a resident of Sychnr, drew
near. She came for water to be borno
away home. (Verse 7.) This was
deemed to be proper service for women
In those days. The customs had not
materially changed since Itebekah, tho
future bride of Isaac, came out with
her pitcher to draw water, while tho
servant of Abraham oat by the well In
Mesopotamia (Genesis, xxiv, 17), neurly
nineteen hundred years before. Nor
was there any danger In exposing wo
men to the casual meeting of stran
gers. The simplicity of life and tho
speedy execution of penalty upon of
fenders were In themselves sulllcient
protection. Accordingly there appears
to have been neither surprise nor tlmiu
ity when the woman arrived at the
well nnd found Jesus there. With much
gentleness and fredom He asked her
for a drink. The secret of the request
was that as the well was deep and He
had no way of drawing the water He
saw In her the only method of obtain
ing refreshment. What could be more
acceptable to the weary than a drink of
water. (Matthew, x, 42.)
.
SURPIUSE. This request of Jesus
astonished the woman. She took Him
for a Jew, and such Ho was In all out
ward appearance. Whereas, she was n
Samaritan, one of a class greatly de

HYPNOTISM EXTRAORDINARY
Some New Teats by a Parisian
Young Woman,
From tho Pall Mall Guzette.
A very puzzling young person Is at
present exercising the curiosity of Pa
risians. She Is known to fame as Mile.
Llna. Till recently she was an artl3t's
model. Then Colonel de Rochus and
M. Jules Hols discovered her strange
capabilities, and Mile. Llna has since
passed much of her time In hypnotic
trances, a ntnte In which she performs
wonders thut must be seen to be be
lieved. Her sponsors, It will be well to
remark, are men of high standing and
acknowledged reputation, and not pro
fessional organizers of rare shows. Col
onel de Roehns Is at the head of the
Ecole Polytechnlque, a government In
stitution, anu one of the foremost edu
cational establishments in France. M.
Jules Hols Is among the most talented
of tho young school of French'hypnot
lsm and kindred subjects.
Presented under these auspices. Mile,
Llna cannot bo dismissed as a vulgar
Impostor. Her pretensions at any rate
deserve to be looked Into. They are
wonderful enough. Mile. Llna, for In
stance, is tho best subject Colonel de
Rochas has so far come across for de
monstrating tho phenomenon he terms
the "exteriorization of sensibility."
When In a tranco her sensibility leaves
her body and can bo localized by tho
operator In any object he desires with
in a few feet of her. .. this object be
pricked or otherwise manipulated, Mile.
Llna experiences exactly the same sen
sation as if the act had been performed
on her own person, whereas her body
while she Is In this state Is wholly In
senfllble. It may bo objected that this
sort of thing might be feigned. Col
onel do Rochas, however, vouches for
several cases In which deception would
seem to be out of tho question. On one
occasion, for example, the sensibility
of Mile. Llna had been transferred to
a photographic plate. Various experi
ments were mude. and then the sub
ject wns brought back, as It wa
thought, .to her normal condition. Af
ter the lapse of u considerable time
Mile. Llna was suddenly seized with
shivering, and then with violent sick
ness. It was found that simultaneous
ly with the appearance of these sym
toms M. Euer, to whom the photo
graphic plato belonged, hart Immensed
It, unknown to the rest of the company,
and In a dark room In a dlstnnt corner
of the house, in a chemical bath, und
was developing It In the usual way a
process which had ufllleted Mllo. Llna
'With a sort of sea sickness.
In another curious set of experiments
music played on Important part. It
was found that when a piano wan
played within heurlng of Mile. Llna
while she was under tho hypnotic In
fluence she adopted attitudes sultRble
spised oy the Jews. When the ten
tribes were carried away captive Into
Assyria people were bfought back and
mingled with the poor of Samaria who
were left behind, producing a low mon
grel race. (II Kings, xvll. 21. l Where
as, the Jews of our Lord's time were
the posterity of those who returned
from Ilabylon under Cyrus (Ezra, I, 3),
nnd who brought with them the Insti
tutions of their ancient religion. They
regarded themselves superior In blood
and character and would not penult
their northern neighbors to nsslst thein
In building the second temple. (Ezra,
Iv, 3.) That feeling was perpetuated,
so that no Intercourse that might de
file Mas allowed between Jews and Sa
maritans. (Verso Si.) Hence the wo
man was surprised when Jesus asked
for water. How Is It that He has
broken over this prejudice? She did
not hesitate to nsk Him the question
plainly nnd bluntl.s.
PROPOSAL,. There was an excellent
opportunity for a protracted and per
haps heated nisctisslon concerning the
relations subsisting between the two
people. Rut Jesus dismissed nil that
und adroitly Introduced himself n8 a
lUifllclent explanation of His conduct.
(Verse 10.) He told her that she would
not have raised the question; on the
contrary, she would have been tho
Becker If she had known who He wns,
implying that she ..ad needs greater
than Ills which He could and which He
would gladly supply. In doing this He
called himself "the gift of God," after
tho manner of His conversation with
Nlcodemus. (John, ill, lu.) That which
ho proposed to give her upon request
He called "living water," seeking to
bring the truth to the level of her con
ceptions. The expression was, how
ever, highly appropriate and Scriptur
al. (Isaiah, xll, 3.) It May be that He
hoped to recall to her mind certain
prophetic utterances (Jeremiah, II, IS),
for the Samaritans were not wholly
Ignorant of the word of God. (Kackn
rlah, xlv, 1.) Figures of speech are al
ways preferable in ucallng with those
of limited cultivation. (Psalm, lxxvlli,2.)
PERPLEXITY. The expression, liv
ing water, used by Jesus, had a spiri
tual meaning which the woman failed
to grasp. It had another every day
meaning which wuo intelligible to her,
signifying springing or spring water,
us opposed to standing water. (Genesis
xxvl, 19.) This kind of water was sup
posed to possess curative properties
and It was ordered In certain ceremo
nials. (Leviticus, xlv, C.) The Sama
ritan naturally put this construction
upon the Saviour's remark, thinking
that He proposed to give her water
from the very depth of the well, as
they were springing clear and fresh
from the earth beneath. At this she
was perplexed, (Verses 11 and 12.)
Tho patriarch Jacob had caused this
well to be dug and he was satisfied to
drink from It as the people had been
elnce his time. Resides, the well wns
very deep, and the sources could not be
easily reached. Jesus had nothing with
which to draw. How would lie make
good Ills offer? Was He so gieat that
He could do what the patriarch had
not done, what none after him did?
It was a strange proposal, and she
itld not hesitate to express her per
plexity. TEACHING. Everything now turn
ed on the meaning of a single word as
descriptive of the kind of water which
to the music played. In every case the
attitudes were so strikingly beautiful
and npposlte as to excite tho admira
tion of the operatic artists nnd painters
who had been Invited to witness the ex
periments. Here, again, the suspicion
might arise of deception, though there
Is no reason to believe that Mile. Llna
has ever had any musical or dramatic
training. Hut direct proof has been
forthcoming of the genuineness of the
phenomena. A Polish musical com
poser who witnessed eomo of tho ex
periments asked to be allowed to apply
a test that would satisfy hlni thnt Mile.
Llna was not merely going through a
performance rehearsed beforehand.
What he did was to play a Polish coun
try dance that has fallen even In Po
land Into almost entire oblivion. To
his nstonlshmont Mile. Llna went
through the dance exactly a It ought
to bo performed, though It wns utterly

For Sulc by Matthews Hros. and
JesiiH proposed to give. There are
several modes of definition by deriva
tion, usage, etc. Like a good teacher
our Lord explained H'ts term by de
scribing the water and distinguishing
It. (Verses lit nnd 14.) The water
from Jncob's well wus Indeed good
thoro wns no Intended objection to It,
but It relieved thirst only for the time
being. One must return again and
again to obtain fresh supply. Where
as, the water which Jesus offered would
entirely quench thlist. because It
would remain within, and become there
a well of water (John vll. 38). springing
up within the soul us this liquid does
nt the bottom of Jacob's well. Fur
thermore, this springing up would con
tinue and produce everlasting lite. It
will be seen that Jesus was still em
ploying figurative language somewhat
n He did on another occasion. (John,
vl, S,").) He was endeavoring by means
of familiar material things to lead His
pupil to the conception of those Im
mense truths that pertain to the spiri
tual life In both worlds.
REQUEST. It Is evident that this
teaching was not successful. The wo
man did not understand, and our Savi
our did not lodge In her mind the ele
vated thoughts which were needful to
bring her Into right relations with
Him. She still supposed that He ie
ferred to some kind of beverage which
might be obtained without the labor of
drawing, whicn might be substituted
for the water of Jacob's well. (Verse
15.) Sho was particularly pleased with
tho suggestion tiiut she might be re
lieved of all further effort, and that she
might have a perennial fountain with
in. Her desires were awakened nnd
she boldly asked for the bestowal of
the proffered gift. This shows how
eager the human mind Is to obtain
temporal und physical comforts, how
slow It Is to apprehend and to seek the
soul's highest good! (Matthew, vl. 31.)
This condition Is th more deplorable
because the less Is Included In the
greater, and there Is a promise that
they who eek the spiritual shall not
lack the carnal. (Pslams lxxxlv, 11.)
The latter being thrown In ns a gra
tuity. (Matthew, vl. 33.)
CONCLUSION. It Is a pity that the
lesson committee closes our study at
this point. What follows to the twenty-sixth
verse shows the outcome of
the Interview and sets everything to
rights. On hearing the woman's re
quest Jesus directed her to call her
husband. (Verse 16.) Her reply en
abled Him to disclose her bad life, and
light began to break into her mind
(verse 19), ns she perceived that Jesus
was a prophet. She was then prepared
to speak on the subject of religion, and
In the course of the conversation she
was Informed that Jesus was the Mes
siah. (Verse 20.) That statement,
supported by the evidence of Ills su
perior knowledge, converted ner Into a
messenger, and, leaving her water pot,
she hastened Into the city to Invite
neighbors and friends to tnrlst. As a
result many Samaritans came and be
lieved. The fragment which has been
assigned for our lesson Is, therefore,
valuable chiefly to show the patience
and skill with which Jesus dealt with
a sinful woman, leading her on step
by step from what she knew toward
what she did not know, and waiting
until her mind was open to receive the
great doctrine of Ilia Messlnhshlp.
Little by little the light breaks In.
(Isaiah, xxvlli, 10.)
Impossible that she could have learned
the proper gestures and measure.
Such are a few of tho facts: as to
their explanation, that I must leave to
Colonel de Rochas or M. Jules Hols.
When Love Is Young.
In summer, when the days nre lonjr,
Tho roses and the lilies talk
Heneath the trees young overs walk,
And glad birds ceo their wooing song.
In autumn, when the days are brief,
Roses iiiid lilies turn to dust
Lovers grow old, ns all men must.
And birds shun trees that have no leaf.
Then, youth, bo glad In love's brief day!
riuck life's best blossom while you can
Time has will of every man
I'rom leafless hearts love turns away.
