MODERN JOCnNAUSM.
Described by General Charles II.
Taylor of the "Boston Globe.
Louisville, Jan. M.Charles S.
Taylor, editor of the Boston Globe, was
the principal speaker at the banquet ot
the Louisville board of trade tonight.
Sail Mr. Taylor: '"Journalism la a
topic on nhk-h Louisville, of all place,
should need no instruction, but in
which she should hare a proud and In
telligent Interest. Horo Prentiss, that
brilliant pioneer and a New Englander.
like mystolf, helped bliixe the way for
the modern newspapers, and here in
true apostolic succession Henry Wat-
terson has won honor for my calling
and renown for your city. Anions the
great editors of the old school Henry
Watter?on was the peer of the greatest,
. while we of the present day proudly
hail himua the ever youthful and al
ways unrivalled leader of our Jour
nalistic 400.
"The change in journalism which has
come during his time and mine was
very well described by my old friend,
"John Russell Young, a few years ago,
when he said: The press is no longer
the expression of personal power. Thir
ty or to years ago the newspaper was
a teacher, the voice of one thinker, one
leader. Now It Is a university. As
much Intellect Is needed to disseminate
a journal as to govern Harvard or
Tale. The fly sheets of the earlier
days have given place to a daily vol
ume which embodies the genius of the
artist, the miter, the artificer and the
statesman.'
Some people explain that our news
papers are too large. . This objection
la difficult to meet, for the simple reas
on that It Is so unusual for a custom
er to make a fuss because he la getting
too much for his money.
"The newspaper of today Is like the
bill of fare In a hotel There Is, or
should be, a table of contents which
shows the reader that which he most
desires to read. Tou do not go into
a hotel, pick up the bill of fare, begin
with the first Item and eat every item
right down and die of apoplexy; on
the contrary, you select what you wlsm
and you should do just the same with a
newspaper.
! "The expanded and expanding news
paper aims to meet the wants of all
classes. And this is what a small news
paper will not do. Truly, the same peP
ers would be a powerful rouser of pub
He curiosity, but believe me, it would
satisfy no one, least of all, the busy
man. We hear from time to time that
the newspapers of the day are too large
for the busy man. I don't believe it
The busy man is just the man for the
lg newspaper, as he Is for other big
things, and most of the busy men of
my acquaintance go through two and
three and four newspapers every day.
They know how to despatch their read
ings as they know how to despatch all
their affairs, and If I could be guilty
of the folly of putting a small news'
paper on the market I should not look
for much sympathy among the men of
business.
'The small paper certainly would not
met the requirements of the home.
There the spirit of American democra
cy has" emancipated the children as
wellas the women,- until now every
member of the family 'stands up for
SKIN-TORTURED
BABIES
And Tired, Fretted
Mothers
Find Comfort In Cuticura Soap
r and Ointment
When All Other Remedies and
Physicians Fail.
Instant relief aud refreshing sleep
for skin-tortured babies aud rest for
tired, worried mothers in warm baths
with Cutlcura Soap, and gentle anoint
ings with Cutlcura Ointment, purest of
emollient skin cures, to be followed in
severe cases by mild doses of Cutlcura
Resolvent Pills, 1'hls is the purest,
sweetest, most speedy, permanent aud
economical treatment for torturing,
disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, crusted and pimply skin aud
scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in
fauta and children, as well as adults,
and is sure to succeed when nil other
remedies and the best physicians fail.
The agonizing itching and burning
of. the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as In psoriasis ; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled
head; the facial disfigurement, as In
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as In milk crust, tetter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy ot
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. 'Jliat Cutlcura
Soap. Ointment and Pills are such
Hands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement Is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evi
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety aud great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
his or her rights as a newspaper read
er, and for a liberal slice ot the large
newspaper.
"So much for the readers, who have
the first claim and whose members
form the real.baals of a successful Jour
nal. How about the advertiser? The
dally newspaper Is the best medium
throURh which advertisers can reach
th'lr patrons and Increase their sales
and profits. It you print from JO to
Jfli) columns of advertising In a single
Ishuc how can you do It In a small
iwwsrpr. The whole proposition Is
so absurd that It is astonishing lUat
Intelligent people persist In making it
a topic of public discussion. We are
living now in the age of large things.
In other words, gentlemen, this is no
longer a four-page world and a four
page civilisation, and I think we are
all glad ot It."
The speaker then showed that we can
never have the Ideal newspaper, be
cause Journalists, like clergymen, law
yers, physicians and business men are
all human, with the limitation which
must control them in all their work.
He explained the growth of the Sunday
newspaper, .which is merely meeting
the expanding wants of the reader and
the advertiser.
The speaker also touched upon the
charge that daily papers publish too
much of crime and scandal. In present.
In a mirror of the events of a d;iy It
Is Impossible not to include such events
within decent limitations, because ot
the demand of all kinds of news In their
localities. He said:
"The people themselves are the real
sensationalists, though unconscious of
It All the first reports of bank fail
ures, terrible accidents, fires, etc.,
which are usually fearfully exaggerat
ed, are started by the pebP1 them
selves and grow in size as they fly
from mouth to mouth. The intelligent
reporter gets at the facts and the news
paper comes out with the truth and
se's a thousand wild rumors at rest."
GERMANY TAKES NOTES.
Makes Extensive Soundings in West
Indian Waters.
New York, Ian. 23. It Is reported
that several German army and naval
officers, passengers.. on the steamer
Sfoltke, which has arrived here on a
cruise through the West Indies, says
the Tribune's Havana correspondent,
made extensive soundings in Havana
harbor near Santa Clara battery gar
risoned by American troops. It is said
they also took photographs of the for
tifications. In view of the attitude of
Germany in Venezuela this is regarded
as significant
A report that Minister Squiers had
Informed President Palma of the ac
tions of the Germans was denied by the
minister, who says he has heard only
rumors. The Moltke sailed yesterday
ff.r Nassau and will arrive in New York
on February 1. The German officials
a'oard the iloltke were sent on the
cruise by the German government and
it Is understood have ben making
soundings secretly all over the West
Indies.

A BOSTON FOG.
Slops Trains and Trolley Cars In City
of Intellect
Boston, Jan. 29. For several hours
last evening Boston was in the grip
of the most remarkable fog ever seen
here. Trains were stalled ar.rl trolley
cars proceeded with much difficulty.
Harbor navigation was dangerous and
pedestrians were forced to grope their
way along the streets. The peculiar
thing about the fog was that It was
confined wholly to the north end of
the city and the suburbs on the north
em side. In Adams ffiuare the sky was
bright and clear, but in Hanover street,
not two minutes walk away, the heavy,
choking mist, hung like a pall.
The ferryboat John Hancock left hu
slip In Boston bound for East Boston,
a quarter of a mile distant. Two hours
and 20 minutes later she rammed a war
vessel In the Charleston navy yard, a
mile out of her regular course.
MOLAS3ES FUR HORSRo.
Extensively Used !n Brooklyn Better
and Cheaper Than Oats.
New York, Jan. 29. Between 4000 and
5000 horses In Brooklyn are being fed
on molasses because It is better and
cheaper than oats. This statement Is
made by a veterinary surgeon, who
adds that horses in harness from 12 to
14 hours hours a day do not take time
to masticate and properly prepare dry
oats and other fodder. The result is
that the animals receive little nutri
tive value from their food.
Molasses, If properly diluted and
mixed with hay, bran and meal in prop
er proportions, is in a digestible con
dition and ready for assimilation the
moment it enters the mouth. Its nu
tritive value Is therefore quite nppar
tnt. It is not only better ".nd more nu
tritious food the.n oats, but It Is much
cheaper In the end.
