How Advertising Affects
Business.

The man who advertises his
business, If whit be offers for sale
is honestly what he represents it
to be, or what it ought to be, is
constantly assisted in his business
by those who have been attracted
tohim or have tested him. A buy
er has read bis advertisement, and
gone to his store, or work shop,
or warehouse, whatever it may be.
and tried what was recommended
Fit has satisfied him he is pleased
and recommends it to his neigh
bor, who is likely to go to the
same place and tell his neighbors
in turn. And thus little rills
started by his advertisement flow
in upon him from all sides, and
the current of his business grows
stronger and wider and more rap.
i'd, and he prospers and grows
rich, al! because to strict atten-
ton in business he added Judi
cious advertising. But for this
he might have fingered on in the
con- immunity for years and his busi-
ness would scarcely have been
heard of.

The Issue with Spain.
What the United States Demands
and what Spain is Willing to
CODcPdn.

Tue present distinctive point ut
Issue between the United States
and Spain is stated in non official
but usually well informed circles
Of Washington, as follows:
The United States ask. first.
that in the fu'ure al American
citiz ms IN Cuba accused OF viola
ton of law shall be tried by the
civil C uyts, and not by military
tribunals, with all the rights in
such cases as are secured by the
seventh article of the treaty Of
1895; and second, that all senten.
ces where American citizens have
heretofore been tried by military
tribunals shall be annulled.
Spain in some degree comedies the
claim of the United States to the
first proposition, agreeing that in
the future American citizens ac-
cused OF violation of law shall be
tried by the ordinary tribunals,
with tie right to be heard by
counsel, to summon witnesses,
and employ other necessary safe
guards to the accused; but with
tie reservation that all snch trials
shall be according to the law of
1921. which provides for more
expeditions proceedings than
tho OF the civi! courts for COM
mon crimes in times of peace
She also offers to revise all sem
tenc passed by court-martial on
American citizens, where it shall
be satisfactorily shown that such
sentences were in violation Of es.
ttblished laws. This reply is un.
satisfactory to ths United States.
which takes the ground that A
merlcan citizens accused of crime
cannot be tried by court martial, |
but are entitled to a trial before
civil tribunals only as secured by
treaty stipuiations. without such |
reservation as is proposed by |
Spain.

Queer Doings in a Con-
neCticut Church..
From the Hartford Courant.

There was a very loud dis
turbancein the Methodist church
on the Hockanum border, East
Hartford, on Sunday evening.
Prayer and praise services were
being held, and had progressed
for some time, when a young
man named David L. Curtis left
his seat and started to leave the
church. Just as he got near
the door he was stopped by Mr..
Ralph Risley, who insisted that
he should not retire. The young
man said that it was necessa-
ry that he should leave, and
started to do so, when Mr.. Ris-
ley took him by the collar to
prevent him. Mr.. Curtis there
upon, to break the hold upon
him, struck Mr.. RisIey in the
face, and then the excitement
began in good earnest. The
boys iii the audience shouted
all sorts of impious things, and
the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Morse,
left the pulpit and Joined the
crowd about the door in vain
endeavor to still the distur-
bance. Finally, the young man
Curtis was compelled to take a
seat and remain there till Mr..
Thomas Down, a Justice of the
Peace, had been sent for, the
pastor announcing that a trial
would be held then and there to
punish the offender. Upon the
arrival of Mr.. Dowd, an effort
was made to clear the house of
all the young people, in order
that the trial might proceed, but
there was a general refusal to
stir, and finally the young man
was held under bail, to be pro-
ceeded against on secular day.

The Owensboro Shield recently
contained a humorous string OF
personals" which is a burlesque
on the toadying process INDUCED
in by certain hifalutin edit
ors. To give our readers an idea
of the richness of the burlesque,
we republish few Of the Shields
personals:
Miss Bridget O'FIanagan, On
accomplished dish. washer, is stop-
ping at Col O'Flairity's.
Miss Slllie McCashingberry,
.chambermaid in jenkins livery
stable, Louisville, paid US visit
the other day. She is looking
the picture of good health. AT
last accounts she was looking for
a puff.
Mrs Matilda Ann Bustle. the
charming dish washer OF the Blow
hard Hotel, is the guest of Mrs.
Dinah Crow, consort of Mr.. Han
nibai Crow, Esq, Whitewater to
the aristocracy of the city.
Equamino ondas Muttonhead,
bartender at the "CacinO," Evans
vile, is in our city negotiating
the ownership Of a beer saloon.
Junius Quincy, Esq, Of the
shovel brigade, Cincinnati, is ON ~
visit to his brother, who has n
contract as fireman.
Snifkins staked his all on the
result of a, game Of euchre the
other night aud lost. Throwing
down the cards, he exclaimed in
tha following pathetic strain:
Twas ever thus in childhOod's
hour, I've seen my iondest hopes
take flight, and every time play
ed the lett bower some one took it
with the right"

A Japanese Spree.

The Yokohama, japan, Her
aid relates a remarkable occur
renee which shows that some of
the Japanese have an extraordi-
nary capacity for wythstsnding the
effects of fiery potaS;ons. An Osa-
ks man offered prize to any one
who would drink one sho--one
quart, one pint and one-half gill
of a certain native liquor about
as strong as spirits of wine. A
coolie performed the feat, and
died the same day from the ei-
fects of it. They buried him in a
shallow grave, and about midnight
the next night the earth absorbed
the liquor from his we'll soaked
body and he woke up from his
debauch. Pushing off the light
soil that covered him he arose
from bis grave in a white shroud
and startled some robbers near by
who were counting and dividing
their money. They took the
apparition for ghost and
ran of in dismay. The coolie
picked up the cash and repOEted
to his wife the same night, sad
Ter but richer man than he was
before his spree.

Handing him a dollar bill, our

For the Fayetteville Observer
Leap Year Party.

For the Fayetteville Observer.
Leap Year Party.
The old year has gone with its sorrows anc
joys,
And with it the rights and triumphs of boys
1875 with its price beyond pearls,
Holds out all pleasure and happiness fol
girls.
To take the advantage of this best of all
years,
And have plenty Of fun, without any tears,
Some proposed that we would give party
To which all assented with cheer loud and
hearty.
Friday morn, let US take a glance at the
men;
Some are weary - though the clock strikes
OF sCaitiag, and soatching, and aOtshing for
a card,
And declare that they think it all very hard.
0, dear exclaims one, its now getting late,
To stay at home, fear will be my fate,
For certainly the ladies wouldn't expect me
to go
All alone to party without any beau.
Says one to another - what on earth shall
| wear
Let IS see - my shoo-fy cravat, and crimps
iE my hair.
Yes, that's settled and I'll black my
mOustache,
All together, l think III cut quite dash
Well - here is the card, now what shall |
write?
In reply to her compliments of to night;
"a previous engagement wish it could
b.,
If bat to send back, what she has oft sent to
me-.
Some gallants did write that business pre-
vented
Who, of course, had it been otherwise would
have consented;
But, as am anxious this hop to attend,
guess my acceptance will to her send
So leaving each gentleman to his pleasant
reflection,
Thinking that he was every lady's selection,
We III turn to the fair sex, see how they are
enjoying,
This day OF all days to men the most an
noying.
We find them as we expected - all in a
glee,
Rejoicing that to-day they are free;
To escort whom they please and dance when
they please,
Which privilege, of course, makes them
quite at their ease.
SO making their toilet with all possible
speed,
For beauty adorned they did not much
need;
Their duty this evening, is to make speech
es, 1atter and praise,
And, If possible, the gentIemen's vanity to
raise.
With such modest blush they would ask
them to dance,
Which Of course, did much to their beauty
enhance,
All admitted that the ladies were 80 gallant
and gay,
That anger and regrets were all chased
away.
But aside from the enjoyment this evening
did lend.
A most important lesson it did to all send
And like Darby and J oan will after one trial
consent,
To choose what we are and never repent.
