Groat Volumes of Manuscript Received by
Literary and Story Papers.
Robert Bonner told me three or four
years ago that tho Ledger could be run for
five years on the manuscript then paid for
and stowed away in his safes without the
purchase of another line. Still he was con-
stantly buying, and by this time is doubt-
less eight or ten years ahead. The Century
and Harper's Magazine, it is claimed, could
bo published for fifteen years on matter al-
ready accepted. A sensational story paper
inferior to. the Ledger claims to have on
hand "ferials" enough for ten years to come.
And the story is the same in all periodical
publication offices where matter is allowed
to accumulate. Yet the avalanche of words
poured forth by the victims of cacoetbes
scribendi continues with seemingly ever
increasing volume. The editor of a maga-
zine told me recently: "We receive on
an average about twenty prose and as
many poetical manuscripts per day. They
vary in length and subjects greatly, but
have a harmonious style—that of utter
badness. Not one in a hundred is worth
passing to a second reader for consider-
ation. The writers generally send along
letters, trying to influenco publication
through sympathy with their ambition,
or their misery, or by giving fictitious
ideas of their social, political or literary
prominence. Of course no attention is
paid to such letters. Each manuscript has
to go on its own merit—or demerit.
Many of them can be sufficiently judged on
their first two pages, and sometimes a
story is rejected without reading at all,
simply because its length unfits it for our
use. I do not think we could keep up wit h
the constantly inflowing mass, if we did not
adopt such 'short cuts' in reading and
judging manuscript. No, instead of getting
'more than our share,' I have no doubt there
are other offices where much more matter is
offered than in ours. One I know of that
gets from fifty to sixty manuscripts a day.
All sorts of people send in stuff, but the
most prolific and persistent in their contri-
butions are those who have absolutely no
qualifications as writers."
From a rather carefully prepared ap-
proximate estimate of the manuscripts sent
in to the leading daily, weekly and monthly
publications in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago only, it appears that there are
not less thau 8000 of them daily for which
the writers expect pay. Homo are, of
course, poems or short articles, but very
many more are stories, running from 40(i0
to 48,000 words and sometimes to much
greater length. It is not too much, there
fore, to put their average at 8500 words,
which would only be about one and a half
columns of a newspaper. That counts up
to the astounding total of 10,500,000 words pet-
diem, or 63,000,000 for the working week. And
that is figured upon a conservative basis,
leaving out altogether that very large per-
centage of the enormous mass — gen-
erally fiction—that the writers would feel
amply remunerated for by the joy of seeing
it in print and their hope of consequent li-
terary fame. And beyond those 03,000,000
words a week—enough to more than make
up entirely 703 newspapers of the size of tho
six-page New York Sun—are more catu-
dupes of words overwhelming tho thou-
sands of publication offices in other parts
of the country. James H. Connelly.

John- L. Sullivan Hcsolves to Never Touch
Liquor Again.
Boston, Mass., October 15.—[Special]—
"To morrow I will be just thirty years
old, and it will be the first birthday in my
life that I have not bean able to be about,
well and contented," said John L. Sullivan
to a reporter this morning. "I am getting
tired of lying here, and I think I ought to
be, forit isa week since Ijwasup'and about,"
and the big fellow impatiently tossed his
head from one pillow to another. "I am
getting along slowly," ho answered. "Dr.
Bush left orders for me to eat a big amount
of stuff, but I could not get through it all.
This morning I had ohlcken broth and
toast. I drank about three quarts of milk
and soda a day, and I am getting sick of it,
I feel stronger, but my feet and legs still
trouble me. I've had plenty time to reflect
on my past doings since I'vo been here, and
I've made up my mind that in thirty years
of life I've had about fun enough. There
was a time in my sickness when I was
thought to be dying, but God was good to
me and gave me one more chance. I've
made up my mind what to do with the
chance. I will never again, until I die, touch
a glass of beer or a drop of intoxicating
liqtjors. No man who is a friend will over
ask me to drink again."

Miss Laura Burt, a very pretty woman

Miss Kate Castleton's new farcical com-
edy, entitled A Paper Doll, was produced
for the first time on any stage at Syracuse
on Monday evening and made a distinct hit.
The play is very amusing throughout and
gives Miss Castleton ample scope in which
to display her talents. All Manager Harry
Phillips promised in the way of scenery
was kept to the letter. The Paper Doll is a
reihied comedy that will be very successful
on~he road during this season.

Mr. Lawrence Barrett, in addition to his
acknowledged talents as a tragedian, has a
genius for arranging and producing plays.
This season his presentation of The Mer-
chant of Venice, Othello and Julius Ca'sar,
will be notable for the magnificence of the
scenery, costumes and accessories, which
will be historically correct and costly.
The newest fad for New York young
ladies are humming birds for pets. They
build nests in the lace curtains and have
raised little families in the parlor. There
are plants for them to fly about in. and
every day the florist sends a basket of
flowers for them to extract the honey from.
They are like little rainbows flying about
tho room, and they light on the head of their
dainty mistress with perfect freedom. It is
rather peculiar to trace the beginning of
these fashionable fads, but this one began
from a few stuffed humming birds which
Webster and Maeder gave as souvenirs when
Miss Nellie McHenry appeared in The Bum-
ming Bird last season. They were made to
fasten to the curtains, and after that the
young ladies insisted on having genuine
ones. That settled the matter. The beaux
had to bring real live humming birds.
The magicians are fighting. Washington
Irving Bishop, the mind render, lias gone
to tho City of Mexico to join Kellar; and
Herrmann, who is in San Francisco, but

that Kellar is a "dismal failure," and
Bishop "a fraud." Herrmann says he is
willing to write a check for ?I000 and some
odd cents for "keeps," if Bishop can tell
him the number of the odd cents. Herr-
mann also calls Hertz a "bungling copy-
ist" that would give 810,000, "if lie could
borrow it," to travel with him one season.
In return comes a voice from the City of
Mexico that Kellar has an assistant that
could do Herrmann "tip," while llertz re-
sponds that neither Kellar or Herrmann
have any tricks less than a century old. In
the City of Mexico each billboard is pro-
tected by a Mexican with a stilletto, and all
the magicians' managers carry razors.

Therein lies the secret of
the marvelous success of
PYLE'S PEARLINE
Washing Compound. Those who use it like it, and tell
their friends. Over one million families now use it.
The sale increases—each month shows decided gains.
Do you know the truth ? PEARLINE
washes clothes, coarse or fine—dishes—paint—every-
thing—in half the time, with half the labor, and better
than anything else known. As it saves the worst of
the rubbing, so it saves the worst of the Wear; your
clothes and paint last longer and look better, if washed
with PEARLINE. Harmless to fabric or hands, and
economical. There is nothing else like PEARLINE.
Beware of imitations being peddled or sold by means
of prizes—they are dangerous—such means are not
necessary to sell a good article.
Pcarline is manufactured only l>y TAMES PYLE, New Yc1
