Board the TOwbOat Mary Alice.
MEMPHIS, April 25.-A terrible muir
der was perpetrated three miles below
here early this morning on board the

Piushurg. Benjamin Kennedy, the
engineer, being annoyed by two negro
deck hands named Anderson and Hen
derson, ordered them to leave
the engine room, whereupon they
seized him, and after stabbing him
with q sheath-knife, threw him over
board The watchman, who was a
witness of the scene, in attempting to
save the engineer was knocked down
and hrutally beaten. An effort was
made to save Kennedy with yawl,
but he sank before assistance could be
rendered. On the arrival of the boat
here the negroes were brought before
a magistrate and committed for trial
for murder in the first degree.

the Oldest, if not the very oldest
paper in America, having, we
believe, been established in
1921, by James Franklin, a
brother of Benjamin, should
certainly be a competent judge
in the matter of the best way
of securing advantages to ad
vertisers. The subject of ad
vertisingi is always a difficult
one to treat in a newspaper.
because whatever is said in
reference to it is attributed to
self'laudation, or a desire to
reap pecuniary advantage
This, however. is not necessa.
rily true. Information on this
subject from practiced jour
nalsts, it honestly given, is al,
ways of value. The following
are the judicious and we'll
timed remarks of the Courant:
"The secret of advertising is
not yet discovered by all who
advertise. A good deal ofspace
and money is wasted by an
nouncements, which nobody
reads, heavy standing placards,
which no more stimulate pur>
chasers than the name on signs.
Much money is now wasted in
circulars, which are thrown into
the entries and down celler>
ways, and also received with
contempt, or in so called ad
vertising sheets which nobody
reads. There is no medium
that comes in such close con;
tact with the people as the pa.
per, and if advertisers only un-
derstood their business they
would make their part of the
paper as interesting as any
other part of it. In many of
the German spapers advertiS' :
ing is carried on to an extent
of which we have no idea. The
newspaper is the real exchange.
Everybody goes to it with his
wants, and almost all his woes.
The consequence is that the
sheets are as lively as neigh
borhood gossip, and often the
pages devoted to advertising
arc the best parts of the paper.
And the papers are read
through. The announcements
are always transient and one
looks at them in the morning
to see what the world has to
offer him that day, by way of
business or amusements. Per.
haps his next door neighbor
has a rare piece of china or a
