Norris G. Osborn of New Haven, a new per man of, that city, acted as coach, and gave an informal ta!k upon the subject. “Country papers,” he said, “are very much restricted. A paper such as mine— my paper would be cailed a country paper —has to work on «lifferent lines. I know everybody and everybody knows me. If I make a mistake, I am very sure to know it immediately. If I‘do anything good 1 never know it. If you are connected with a country paper and wish social or politi- cal consideration, you must be careful not to tread on any eme'si toes. “If you don’t like“the- newspapers you may know that you are responsible for them—not this club, but the community. If you will not accept sensationalism you will have a better menu offered you. “Phe question is often asked: ‘What do the public want in a paper? i am often surprised at what they take. I do not know what they want. To criticise a paper be- cause something in it does not suit you is narrow. It is written for many classes of people. It must be masculine and virile in character. “The charm of newspaper writing is its impersonality; if there is a name signed to it it is spoiled. There has never been a satis- factory definition of a newspaper man. He has fewer hobbies, and is more untrammeled socially, than other men. His strong point is a knowledge of human nature. I smile when I hear people say they are not cor- rectly reported, for 1 know generally that they are. The words have a different mean- ing in type. “T have great respect for a reporter. Peo- ple should remember that he has no per- sonal ax to grind. He asks questions your friends would not. ‘They ask a little and ise the rest.” Osborn believes in the newspaper wo- man, and says she has taken some of the higher parts of newspaper work. but he is undecided about her ever becoming a strong all-around reporter. He closed his remarks with an expression of faith in a higher position to be given the newspaper and newspaper man, and to be deserved by both see L THROUGH " 'TUNN: A TREE, An Expedient Devixed to Save Old Tree. irom the Newark (N. J.) Call. It was announced a week ago that one of the most notable trees in this country was dcomed by the march of improvement. It is a huge and aged sycamore, or buttonball standing in the middle of a sidewalic in Stephen street, Belleville. Records skow the tree to be at least 250 years old, end in that time it has grown to a diameter of seyen feet at the butt. The sycamore is in- veriably a most picturesque tree, and this is one of the most picturesque of syca- mores. Contractor McCann, who Js engaged upon the task of widening and straightening Stephen street, decided that the tree must be cut down, and it really looked as if the monarch would be overthrown, for there is little of that sort of sentiment in Belleville which would move to save a treé yen there is plenty to tatk about in the political eld. ‘There was one man who loved the tree enough to go to the contractor with the familiar lines, “Woodman, spare,” ete. It was Christian Ortholf, the barber, whose shop is on the corner of William and Stephen streets, and is overshadowed by the big tree. He is a good singer, and he ren- dered the old poem 0 well that tears came into Contractor MeCann’s cyes, and he promised to “touch not a single hough,” but said he would have to do something to the old trunk, and finally decided to cut an arched passage .through it. ‘This will amuse the children and satisfy their clders, as it will probably save the big tree for years to come.
