" DAILY 4 NEWSPAPER OBITS. A DEPARTMENT WHICH INVOLVES SOME CURIOUS EPISODES. ' Biographies Up to Date. The Prince of Wales Has aScrapbook of His Post Mor- tem Notices. Harriet Martineau Wrote of Herself Impartially. You must not suppose that the obit- uary is written in the newspaper office when the news of the death of some pub- lic personage arrives. All the big daily papers have obituaries of every man and" woman of distinction who are advanced in years pigeon-holed, or “in pickle,” as the phrase goes in journalistic circles. Some of these obituaries are brief; others extend to three or fOur or five columns, according to the relative im— , portance of the subject; but they are all at the editor’s handyready for publi- cation at any moment, and he is thus enabled to give a. sketch, columns long, of the' career of a. public man, a few hours, in some instances, after that ca. reer has closed forever. The average newspaper reader will read with greater interest and more at length the obituary Of a. public man who is suddenly cut off than the obituary of one who has had a long illness, and for Whose death the public are prepared. But of course it is of the latter that the best obituary is published. \Vhen a. public man becomes seriously ill his obituary is taken from the pigeon—hole, carefully gone over; freshened and brightened and brought up to date by the addition of the more recent events of his career. Of that phase of journalism we have had some illustrations within the past few years in the excellent obituaries which were published of Mr. Blaine, Prof. Tyndall, and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, all of whom had a. long strug- gle with death berore they finally suc- cumbed. . There is not a daily newspaper that has not had in readiness for years an obit- uary notice of Mr. Gladstone. Twenty years ago, in 1875, the aged statesman wrote to Lord Granville resigning the leadership of the Liberal party, as, he said, he was too old for public affairs, and it was time for him to turn his thoughts to the other world. But, as everyone knows. he came back to public life after a. few years of retirement, and since then has made more history than in the previous forty years of his public ca- reer. When he goes what excitement and confusion the event will create in the newspaper offices of the kingdom! The dangerous illness of the Prince of Wales, in December, 1871, was the cause of events—curious and amusing—which will ever find a. place in the history of British journalism. The death of the Prince seemed ine— vitable, for the doctors had begun to despair. One day the announcement went forth that his Royal Highness could not survive many hours, and, according- arty broke up, all delighted with the excellent entertainment. A tourist that was a tourist in every . sense of the word, was brought before Judge Hubbell this morning. He Was fOuntl asleep in a freight car at the dock last night. In reply to inquiries from Prosecuting Attorney Gregory, ‘ the prisoner gave his name as George Seaton and address as Missouri. He said he had been unable to secure work for thirty-two years. Judge Hubbell allowed him thirty2minutes im which to get out of town. Artist Thompson of the tonsorial firm of Pohlman & Thompson, took a day off yesterday and visited Stamford. While in that sleepy berg he purchased five cents worth of peanuts, a few can- dies and several plates of ice cream and proceeded to have a picnic all by him- self. When train time arrived he jour- neyed to the depot and took the express from this city. He occupied a seat in the smoker and pufled away on a cigar. ette until the efforts of the Stamford ice cream overcame him, when he slept. He o as rudely awakened from his slumbers and dreams of close shaves and hair cuts by the resonant voice of the brakeman calling out f‘New Ha- ven.” He took the next train back to this city vowing he would never eat Stamford ice cream again or play a joke on Otto. '5 Veteran Engineer Officer Retired. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.——An order was issued today retiring Colonel Henry L. Abbott of the engineer corps of the army. Colonel H. M. Roberts succeeds ’Colonel Abbott on the board of engineers. He is stationed in New York and is already president of the board by seniority. Colo- pel Hains, now stationed at Baltimore, has been appointed a member of the ord- Dance and fortification board. Denby Heard. From at Last. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.——Advices have been received at the state department that Minister Denby is consulting with the British and Chinese authorities relative to the full and complete investigation of the riots at Ku-Chang. This commission had not yet been appointed, but it was be- ing formed. There is no doubt expressed at the state department that United States interests will be carefully looked after. Incurable Disease Prompted Suicide. BUFFALO, Aug. 14.——Edward Williams escaped from the Sisters’ hospital last night, and today his body was found in Soajaquada. creek, back of the hospital grounds. It is clearly a. case of suicide due to despondencc over an incurable dis- ease. Savings Banks' Fine Showing. ‘ ALBANY, Aug. 14.—The banking de- partment has completed totalizing the business of the state savings banks up to July 1, 1895. The figures: Resources, $762,511,230.66; deposits, $669. 266,016.19; other liabilities, $502,492.19; surplus, $92, 742, 722. 28. Big Raid on Nihilists. BERLIN, Aug. 14,—A dispatch received here from Odessa states that 70 nihilists were arrested in a. restaurant. After the police had raided the place the keeper of the restaurant committed suicide. Many 1y, every daily paper in England had its obituary of the prince set or put into type. But the expected telegram an- nouncing the death never came, and so at midnight, when the hour for going to press was near at hand, many a news- paper editor who had relied on his bio- graphical sketch of the Prince filling six or eight columns of his paper, was compelled to fill up the blank columns with standing matter of all kinds, such as old advertisements and Older news. The principal newspaper editors sub- sequently sent the prince at his own re- quest, proofs, of the obituaries; and, pasted in a bulky scrapbook, they now form one of the strangest and most curi- ous objects to be seen at - Marlborough House, Robert Louis Stevenson, had, like the Prince of Wales, the pleasure—the mel~ ancholy pleasure, perhaps—of reading before his death the good things the press would write of him when he was no more. “It has been a source of interest and amusement to me in this island home,” he once said to a visitor to Samoa, “to read from time to time my obituary no- tices. The news travels so far before it can be contradicted that it often becomes exciting. However, the climate is so admirable that instead of furnishing the journals with interesting matters for' paragraphs, I am likely to supply my editors with copy for a considerable time to come.” When the‘news reached this country in December of 1894, that the great nov- elist was dead, it was believed and hoped by many to be unfounded rumors, and that once again Mr. Stevenson would be able to read his obituary notices. But, alas! the announcement was only too true. A still rarer experience is for one to write one’s own obituary for a. news- paper. Miss Harriet Martineau, the celebrated authoress, who was for many years a. leader writer on the staff of the London News, actuallywrote the obit- uary which appeared in the issue of that journal for June 29. 1876, two days af- ter her death. A more excellent or im- partial review of her career could hardly have been produced. .- She says she had “small imaginativ and suggestive powers, and therefore no approach to genius;” and that “she could popularize, though she could neither discover nor invent.” This re- markable obituary, which fills three and one-half columns of the Daily News was published precisely as it was written in 1855, when the thor and the subject of it felt that her end was at hand. But she lived for 21 years after, during which the obituary notice lay in a. pigeon hole in the Daily News ofi’ice. Just Like Him. Elderly gentleman—This is a re- markably good photo of my son!
