Why don't you Advertise? (?

To those who are complaining Of the
severity Of the times, nc address this in
quiry: why don't you advertise 1t is
just the thing to help you out Of your diff
culties-tu relieve you from existing EN-
bsnassmentS-to save you. There is no
mistake about it: aud the demonstrations
which have been made within your own
observation, within the last seven years,
by those who advertised extensively, prove
the fact that advertising is the sure road to
fortune. Do you say you have not the
means to meet the expense, and cannot at
ford to do it? You cannot afford not to
do it. There is the difficulty. If you
have not the means make haste to getthem
send lot of musty goods to auction
or try your credit. Iour increased sales
and additional profits will enableyou not
only to pay your Advertising bills, but save
you from destruction, and inspire conf
dcnce in your creditors and the public
But should this expectation not be fully
realized, you can hardly be worse of than
YOU are now. Nothing risk nothing win
You know that large fortunes have been
male by advertising, and you also know
that no man ever advertised extensively
and thoroughly who did not succeed
Those who are doing business must adver-
tise or fail 1t is true that advertising
may not save all who are embarrassed
for there are some which even advertising,
however potent, cannot now save; but it
will save many-all who are not hopeless
ly insolvent-it will save hundreds who
are doomed to certain failure without it
There is no sense in standing idle-no
sense in brooding over existing ills. The
true way is to commence war upon them
and to it through the means and agency of
the Press, which is truly and emphatically
the mighty lever of the business world
and you know it. Advertising is the grand
remedy. Cast your bread upon the wa
ters,' and in short time it shall return to
you again. We ask no man to advertise
for the sake of the Press, but for his own
sake--to save himself from bankruptcy,
and his family from penury and want
The Philadelphia merchants and manufac-
turers are advertising vastly more than
ours are, and the consequence is, their
trade is better than ours. Many of our
business men appear to be paralyzed; they
are panic struck and trembling in their
shoes. They are wondering what Is to be-
come of them, instead of laying hold Of
the lever which alone can save them-ruin
stares them in the face To all such we
say, advertise-advertise at once let it be
$ the first thing you do. If you are too far
gone it may not save you. 1t is, in fact,
the only thing you can do and hope to
7 weather the storm. Then be about it at
, once; the engine can be set in motion
S The experiment isworth trying-is itnot
1 1t is the last chance of the business men
Y who are in distress for more and better
: customers. Why should any one hesitate
e to resort to it?-N 7. IfiJune.

The Romance of Crime.

A FEMALE CoMpANIoN OF Monroe Ed

history, if written, would furnish a vol

what capacity may easily be guessed. She
was then fair young girl of sixteen, but
already hardened in vice. She has return

vagrancy. Even now she gives evidences
of talent that might have made her an or
nament of sry circle, but alas ! her life
has been worse than wasted, and she now
begins to reap the fruits Of her first false
step.
Mary Ann Sherwood is native of this
city, and is now about SO years of age
She became acquainted with Edwards
about the year 1888, and was, at that time,
one of the finest. looking young women
we ever beheld. Until. Edwards was ar

the companion Of his crimes led life Of
luxuriousl debauchery. The year before
Edwards was sent to prison, We saw Miss
Sherwood in New York. At that time
she was most costly-dressed woman the

horses, and sported street dress whose
worth was in strict keeping with the easi

SAD ACCIDENT!
Explosion Of tho Steam Fire Engine Joe Ross.

Explosion Of the Steam Fire Engine Joe Ross.
Yesterday afternoon the Steam Fire Engine
''Joe Ross, was placed at the crossing of Vine
and Sixth streets, to make trial, for the es-
pecial benefit Of the officials of Chicago, who
are visiting our city for the purpose of wit
Messing the operations Of these fire annhila-
tors. About O'Clock, the time when her
greatest power was being tested, the receiving
chest exploded, instantly killing the Engineer,
John Winterbottom, and wounding some other
gentlemen. A. B. Latta, inventor of the Steam
Fire Engine, was badly scalded in the face
and on the arms, jeremiah Brant, carpenter
at the Peoples Theater, was scalded. Horace
English, Of the Fire Company, was severely
bruised. One or two others were slightly in
ljured sMr. Winterbottom leaves wife and
one child thirteen months old.
The force Of tho explosion was so great
that it threw Mr. w. some distance into the
a r, dismembering his legs and otherwise in
jjuring his body, which fell some yards from
the engine. Several panes of glass in DIR. Chap
mans Drug store, were also broken by the
shock. From the testimony of the witnesses
before Coroner Menzies we learned these facts;
| that the steam was raised to so pounds to the
square inch in minutes, while it took the
engine ''Latta" II minutes to gain the same
pounds; in few minutes the steam was up
to 80 or 90 pounds; whilst the engine was
working rapidly the hose-pipe burst; some per-
son called to the engineer to stop the engine
which he did, though not instantly; almost as
soon as it stopped working the explosion oc-
Cured; the engineer was warned but few
minutes previous that the steam was getting
too high, and cautioned by Mr.. Latta about
the amount Of water in the fire chest;'' the
steam was at $50 pounds-thc highest point

engineer was inclined to have his own way.
The verdict Of the jury was:-that said
