bis rent and several other bills he owed

ties near enough to the Hitters to have
touched them but could not see for the

Two moonlight tiittiugs took place

the landlord, but while he was doing so
a constable was keeping a sharp watch
on him, ami as soon as the team started
the constable very unexpectedly ap
peared and guided the teams to Stid

of the two lived in a house belonging to
M. M. Child A'Co., and was more lucky
in evading the vigilance of the a gus
eyed constable.

Washington, Inly 24.—President
Arthur put himself on record
day night last in fav
graphers' strike. When he drove to
toe Executive mansion from theSohliers'

asked the telegraph
White House if they were strikers. H»
was informed that they were satisfied
w ith the salaries they were receiving.
The President answered that lie was
glad of it, and if *ln v
would raise their salaries to lie* amount
atked for, so as to officially recognize
the fact fliat he fa voted proper v,
for all skilled labor. The telegraphic
clerks at the White House are paid out
of the appropriation regularly mad* 1 for

The cost of white paper formerly
made up fully one-halt of the whole
expense of the news paper, now it
makes up about one-quarter; the paper
from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound, now it costs from six to seven
cents per pound. Owing to this great
reduc ion in the cost of paper, the well
established newspapers in New York
city are all of them making money, and
the Tribune, which has beeu
weighed down by an immense invest

have got through with the effect of this
misfortune, and commenced to do more
than pay its expenses.
"A lirst-rate newspaper in New
Y'ork will require about ten editorial
writers, whose daily duty it is to fur

their special duties, but there must

Gould mint bock down.
Pitts hit net, Pa., July 24, 1883.—To
day the high officials of the Brother
hood of Telegrapher* held a conference
on the question of ordering the railroad
operators out on a strike. The meeting
was a secret one, ami as a result it was
decided that if the Western Union Com
did not grant the demands of the
Brotherhood within sixty-two hours,
the railroad operators employed on the
Wabash and other railroads, iu which
Jay Gould is largely interested, would
go out on a strike.
The nnmber of railroad operators on
the*e roads is between two thousand
and two thousand five hundred, solidly
and oompactly organiz d, ami restless
because they had not been called on to
go out before this. The Urotherood,
however,did not wish to be placed ill t he
position of bringing about, the conse
quent <M*ssation of business which would
inevitably result when the railroad ope
rators lett their keys and s. umlers.
The Brotherhood now claims that it
has demonstrated its forbearance to the
people of the country, and as Jay Gould
has made the tight a personal one, iu
which he now backs himself with his
$100,000,000 of capital, if is time to show
him that the operators are determined
to secure redress for the grievances
complained of in the bill presented to
the different Companies.
The break which the telegraph
companies expected to take place yes
terday iu the ranks of the operators in
Philadelphia, did not.occur. Gaiusand
ported on both sides. Both
the operators and the companies are
still confident of winning the victory.
The operators claim that their portion
is so strong that tin y fin hourly «• v j
iug an order to return in work. A iei.d
ness message to Alls
dered at the Western Union office,
Front ami Chestnut, streets, last evening,
and the operator stamped it. "Accepted,
subject to delay or mailing on-route. "
A Brotherhood official states that
when their organizers had fairly com
pleted the work of organizing com
mercial operators in the principal cities
they were specially instructed to devote
their time to the railroad men working
on the Wabash and other rail roads with
which .lay Gould is identified, and as a
const quence the hulk of them had been
secured and were among tlie staunchest,
members of the Brotherhood. It is pro
posed to give wide publication on the
eve of the strike, so that all persens con
templating taking trips can make their
arrangements to avoid delays en route.
The sender refused to agree to the
condition, and demanded that it he
sent without it, at the same time ten
dering the money to pay for the mes
sage. The agent declined to accept
either the message or money, and the
sender threatens to bring suit. A legal
opinion was obtained which makes the
Company liable to a fine of $100 for
each refusal.

"It is cheap?" queriesone.
"HowlittlemoneycanI take?
How few coins may I drop in
the purse? How feather
weighted may it be to bring
back the biggest amount of
merchandise,the bulkiest pile
of goods ? How much for
the money ?"
" Is it good ?" asks another.
Try the strands of warp and

which is better, f low good

You recognize the two

There are piles of goods
made, like the cheap razors,
only to sell; the buyers can't

From tlio Printer's Circular.
Of the inside work of any business or
profession the public is more or less ig
norant. Of all others it confesses its
ignorance, but of the reporter's work it
conceives theories that are rather amus
ing, hut much more aggravating. The
theory that a number of young men
Hying alsmt the town gathering up
notes, which some office man " licks
into shape," is very common.
Another common theory iH that tin
re| ortoiial stntV of each paper is 1 tu n
ed loose at a certain hour each •day to
Hud out what is going on in the city,
and that each indh idual exercises his
if ret will as to where he shall
go uml .what he shall do. Several
times a day the reporter hears some
citizen say :
" 1 should think you fellows would
get all mixed up,several of you going to
the same place after the same thitigi'and
occasionally when the reporter happens
around several hours after an important
and unexpected event, by diligent ques
tioning tinds out all about it, and writes
a particularly vivid description, some
citizens asks, " How did you happen
to have a man there just in time. "
1*< ople are sure that the reporter goes
everywhere and fees everything. They
see hiui on dutv at the theatre or con
vention, and the impression is made
that his time is Hlled only by those pub
lic occurrences which appear to be most,
pleasant and agreeable tilings to make
note of. The fact that lie works from
four to eight hours longer every day
than the longest worked man In any
other profession, and that therefore lie j
has not even time to attend to his
private business, is
were not that the
known. If it
k is full of varie
ty, its hours would kill him in a year.
These people, with the queer ques
tions and fm.i.v not ions of newspaper
work, are the ones who only occasion
ally come in eon act with newspaper
men. There are some hundreds of men,
who never made a report for a newspa
per, who are unerring guides as to the
value of news. They are the men whom
the reporter meets every day, and
from he gets information—the city
officers, clerk of courts, railway offi
cials, and the like, who get every day
enough information to fill volumes, out
of which the reporter picks a few- para
graphs or a column. By long acquaint
ance with the reporter's ways the in
formant comes to know just what he
wants, and gives it tc him.
