to wield the gavel in the House of
Representatives this season. Rumor
has it that Rep. Nicholas Longworth
is planning to restore to the Speak

NOTED PUBLISHER
FRANC A. MUNSEY
DIES IN NEW YORK
(Continued from Page Three)
he put $100,000 into the new venture,
and still it lost. He changed it to
Munsey’s Magazine, at twenty-five
cents a copy, but it would not sell.
By 1893 he had two magazines, both
losing money, and was more than
$100,000 in debt. In attempting to
lower the price of his publications,
j he brought on trouble with the greai
| news distributing company upon
whom he was dependent for circula
j tion.
Takes the Initiative.
Determining to go over the heat]
of the company, he sent out thous
ands of circulars direct to news deal
ers all over the country, tellng oi
his enlarged magazine at a lower
price. The circulars did the work,
The news company received orders
■by the basket-full. They went tc
Mr. Munsey with an olive branch
and met his terms. The first num
ber of the new Munsey’s Magazine
reached 40,000 copies. Before it
stopped the rapid climb it had pass
ed the 700,000 point.
This marked the beginning of suc
cess for Frank Munsey. He had
been willing to give 10 years of his
life for a chance to get started. He
had actually given more than 11
years—and owed $100,000. Six months
after Munsey’s Magazine blazed the
way, The Argosy shook off its ju
venile cloak and entered the field oi
adult publications. Since that day
it has made several fortunes for its
owner.
In addition to the two publica
tinos whose histories are so closely
bound up wth his early life, Mr. Mun
sey acquired "The Scrap Book,” “The
Railroad Man’s Magazine,” the “All
Story Magazine,” “The Ocean,” and
others, and owned newspapers in
New York, Washington, Boston, Bal
timore and Philadelpha. He also had
extensive investments in other fields,
and never permitted his capital to
remain idle.
Mr. Munsey never married. He
lived for many years at one of New
York’s fashionaable hotels, and also
maintained a country estate at Eliza
bethtown, N. Y.
Eleven men who served in the Pa
pal Zouaves in 1S69 made a pilgrim
age from Canada to Rome: this year.
Shortly after boasting that he had
climbed many high structures without
an accident, Alex Hassen, a steeple
jack of Hyattsville, Md., fell eight feet
from a shed he was painting, break
ing an arm and a leg.
