Printing House Square as the city’s center of news
New York correspondent notes Printing House Square as the hub where major newspapers receive and process incoming letters and news. Readers, editors, and clerks toil through vast quantities of manuscripts, sorting correctable pieces from trash while preserving sharp style and decisive judgment. The piece contrasts Post and Herald standards and details staffing and poverty among press workers. It also recalls the Old Dutch Church used as a post office and its impending demolition for banking and finance growth.

Italian tightrope walker crosses Niagara chasm
Signor Henry Balleni, an Italian, crossed the 1500 foot rope from Prospect Park to Clifton House and sailed a mid rope jump into the river. He reached the American end after 25 minutes, rested, then leaped from the rope center using a rubber cord, splashed, and was rescued by a boat. He plans more exhibitions Mondays and Wednesdays.
