NEWSPAPER BLUNDERS
Some of the Amusing Sayings
of the Types.
An old New York newspaper man,
uow turned farmer, kept a scrapbook
in which for years he (Misted hun
dreds of the typographical blunders
and other errors that always annoy,
but sometimes amuse, newspaper
writers. A few selections from this
collection arc given here us printed
ill the New York Hun to show that
vagaries of the types and blunders
which writers sometimes make when
driven at top s|>eed may lie eoni|»ared
favorably with some of the current
humor of the ilay.
It was a New York news(Mq>cr which
annottoiiced that "A long Hue of
scorpion's feathers tiled into the
church," instead of surpliced fa
thers." A journaliat once famous
under the press name of "(lath"
wrote a Fourth of July article in
which he told With ferjid eloquence
how the effete monarchies of the old
world trembled In their boots when
they read the immortal declarations
penned by Thomas Jefferson.
"Thrones reeled," he liegnu a sen
tence, uud uext morning he wished
he hadu't wheu he saw in cold type
"Thomas reeled,"
A daily newspaper «p the Hudson
reported the speech of a Fourth of
July orator who had something to say
about the "Fiat of the Almighty."
It gut into the (>aper "the fist of the
Almighty."
The Winnipeg Times, on the death
of a reverend gentleman, meant to
say "the death of the prelate," but
priuted "the death of a pirate." A
Cardiff newspaper reporter, reporting
the sermon of the Rev. Dr. Mellor
before the Congregational nuion
where the clergyman spoke of the
"Woman clothed with sanctity," by
an unfortunate transposition of the
" 0 ." printed the phrase "Women
clothed with "acantlty."
A London paper said that Ernest
Renan had occasion to telegarph
acroaa the British channel the title of
a lecture he was to deliver in Weet
minister abby. The title aa written
by him was "The Influence of Rome
on the Formation of Christianity."
It was published In England aa "The
Influence of Rum on the Digestion
of Humanity."
It was in a New York paper's report
to a political meeting that the word
"shouts" was so ludicrously mis
printed as to make the blunder fam
ous. "The snouts of 10,000 Demo
crats rent the air,'' read the report.
A local reporter wrote that Dr. Tal
muge closed his services with the
hymn "Nearer by God to Thee," but
the blunder was caught, on the fly in
the proof room and did not get into
the paper. At the time of the Meek
er maasacer iu Colorado, a dispatch
from the west atributed the tragedy
to the farmers having "pulled down
the Indians' tents and corrals."
One paper put it into type as "pulled
lown the Indians' beets uudjoarrots, "
The old-time reporter, with the howl
for copy riuging iu his ears, some
times perpetrated remarkable Eng
lish. A young Chicago uewsgatherer
wrote of a man who had died of as
phyxiation; "Mr. Johnson was found
reclining on the bed while his legs
exteuded over the floor and towards
the outer edge of the room. ' '
A Chicago daily found u little boy
who, according to its voracious
chronicler, was very deaf, indeed.
The reporter wrote: The boy was
quite dead. No efforts could resusci
tate hini in the least. "
This is quite as good as the "bull"
culled from a Fuellletou iu the Paris
Figaor, which ran: "Not a cry did
she utter nor give auy sign of life,
not eveu when her brother-in-law put
his baud to her heart and said to
Vauquet: "She is dead."
Tliis is what a London Globe called
1 'an inadvertence ' ': By au inadver
tence our receut notice of Dr. Mao
ulay's new book, commented on the
absence of illustrations as a defect.
We now find, however, that it con
tains twelve wood outs of much
merit. "
A steady and venerable evening
journal solemnly informed its read
ers in a complimentary notice of the
Cfctholic Fireside that "its stories are
uot of a nature to destroy the morals
of the youngest child."
The editor of a Pennyslvania coun
try weekly began a leader with a re
mark that 'Mr. Thomas, in his ud
dress at the convention, merely let
our people know how unwell he is Ht
to cope with Josh Allen on the stump.
He will only prove a political mor
sel tor Allen to chew up." The ri
val iiews[>aper printed the paragraph
w ith the heading in circus placard
letters; "How nuwell he is fit. "
Sfilf Culture.
Mrs. A. L. Johnson, of Loudon
England is giving instructions in ab
dominal and rytbmatic breathing to
restore health. She is demonstrating
ths wonderful English body brace,
the greatest invention for the support
of the back and luugs. Mrs. John
son will give a free conversation,
Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 4 In
the parlor of the Coeur d'Alene hrn.
JOLLY
Fearless Firemen
Thirty Thousard of Them Fighting Flames
In the United States —Daring Rescues
on Dizzy Ladders — New
York's Army.
S INCE fire fighting has become a
regularly recognized and well j
compensated employment In the j
large cities of this country a j
great change has taken place In the
discipline In vogue among the forces j,
| of fire fighters and in the methods em- I
j ployed In extinguishing fires. In the j
| old days of volunteer firemen there
may have been more glory In assisting
at putting out fiames when they had
burst Into action unbidden and unex
pected, but there was much less sci
ence about It then. Making fire fight- j
lng a paid service under a regularly or
ganized branch of the municipality has
cost the large cities of the United
States a great deal of money, but It Is
a change Which has paid for Itself
many times over In the reduced amount
of the losses due to outbreaks of fire.
Credit should be given the volunteer
companies, however, for the work
which they did and which many are
still doing In the smaller towns or In
larger cities as forces auxiliary to the
paid departments. For Instance, In the
city of New York, which has 3,000
paid firemen, the largest number em
ployed by any city In the United States,
there are also volunteer companies
with a membership of 2,300. These
companies exist mostly In the suburbs
In parts of New York to which the
service of the regular city department
has not yet been extended.
Although fire fighting is necessarily
a dangerous occupation and requires
qualities akin to those of a soldier in
men who would enter It, the perils
have been much reduced by the perfec
tion attained In many cities in methods
of discipline and by the Improvements
In apparatus. On the other hand, the
study given to the subject has resulted
in such high efficiency of service that
the proportion of disastrous fires is
small compared with the number of
outbreaks of flames. In such cities ns
FIREMEN AT RESCUE WOKE OS THE EX
TENSION LADDER.
New York. Chicago. Philadelphia. Bos
ton and St. Louis the uniformed and
paid firemen are seen so often rushing
to fires that their approach and the
ringing of the gong for the clearing of
the street cause scarcely more than a
momentary flurry. Usually the fire Is
extinguished before It bas a chance to
do much damage or furnish a spectacle
that Is worth crossing the street to
view. But when a fire does get under
headway and firemen find hard work
cut out for them they show that their
nerve Is equal to the occasion. Then
Is seen the value of such improvements
In fire fighting apparatus as the exten
slon ladder, by which members of the
force can climb Into the windows of a
burning building with the least possible
delay. It requires courage to mount
such a ladder, extended In midair,
as It were, but the men are trained to
this by frequent emergency drills, and
as the ladder unfolds itself they are
quick to spring upon the extended
rungs and mount Into the Imperiled
structure, perhaps to rescue those im
prisoned within burning walls.
The scaling ladder la another great
aid to quick attack on a burning build
ing or to timely rescue of those shut
off from escape by the flames. The
expert climber mounts from story to
story by placing tta hooks In the win
dow above him. climbing to the sill
and then lifting his ladder to another
window until he has gained a dlrxy
height. His nerve does not desert him
In crossing from ledge to ledge or
crawling along narrow copings, because
his drill has accustomed him to work
at a great height without fear.
Over 30,000 persona are employed In
the United States in protecting the
public against danger from fire, and
naarty two-thirds of theaa are mem
bers of paid departments. In the days
of the volunteer companies In big cities
tbara waa plenty of excitement In run
ning with the hose cart In response to
