Reading them you get to think that when a New York newa paper man ten't scooping the town he's painting it. And in those communities where they haye two regular passengen | trains a day and the managing editor has to meet both of them to get the | personals and the news-notes from down the road, In those shops where | they write the headline first and make the facts conform to It, the staff always falls heavily for the el in the Fashion Monthly that starts k@ this | “Billingham, ctar man on the Dafly Bread, sped under the Williams | burg Bridge and ofice drunk and dressed-up, with the beat of \the year surging in his brain. It was 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and in | eight minutes the Daily Rread, being a morning paper, would go to press— ely time enough for him to turn in two columns for the first pa Or like this: “Five of them, the ct, wildest, brainiest daredevils of all the | gay, wild, brainy journalists‘in Giddy Gotham, had foresathered about | their favorite table in the great, fashionable cafe at Park Row and Pifth ‘avenue, in the shadow of the Twenty-third street ferry.

If there was never seen on his stage such spectacle as now glitters nightly along Broadway, so there were never heard such v ulgar songs and remar! have recently led to revolt among the patrons of east side theatres. Tény Pastor first managed the present People’s Theatre, When he went there and for years afterward the Bowery was censorious of stage utterance and etiquette. Virtue always came out on top in the last act. A man now prominent in business life, an excellent amateur elocu- tlonist, once in his hard-up youth played a week’s engagement at a Bow- ery theatre. He gave one recitation which had “taken’’ at church sociables, describing the antics of a. man who had a mouse run up his trousers leg to the knee. The audience sat in solemn silence. After the show the manager informed the recruit that “such indelicate selections would never do on the Bowery.” There was a song later, called “On the Bowery,” which indicated that things might have changed. Now they have changed again. The Bowery is a business street. If Tony Pastor isn’t too busy he might write memoirs. Many a man with less interesting things to tell has inflicted reminiscences on an overbooked world. own s he Town Jottings he T oi (Tenn.)
