and In the NJ. u. Church GO, and the cry Is "still
they come" In some Of the other churches the
same success has been met with. Tho only
churches that do not move in the matter are the
Episcopal, PRESBYTERIAN, Dutch Reformed and
Roman Catholic.
In various other places throughout tho county
the excitement has run to even a higher pitch
than here. At Ashland tho Rrv. @. ID. =. Mark
ley is meeting with marked success, being ably
seconded by his lady, who runs afternoon PRAYER
meetings every day. Over sixty now con-
verts have been made besides those who deemed

How tho Brooklyn Companies have Enriched
Themselves by Incorrect Meters.

The agitation among the consumers of
gas in Brooklyn has brought forth some prac-
tcal results through the active efforts Of a few
Influential residents. few weeks ago Union
street man concluded that the gas company was
not dealing fairly with him, and he took his me-
ter to State Inspector John Burns. The instru-
ment registered six per cent. last. lie showed
the result to the oil ,e,s Of the gas company,
and they with some reluctance repaid him four
per cent, OF the extra charge for the last two
years. The law regulating the Obligations Of
gas CONF anies alto iur an OVtrre-istcr Of two
per cent. he uli ers also paid for the expense
Of tne Inspection By MIR. Burns, but they said
that thereafter they would nav only Tor the over
charge by too fast rcgist, ring meters. The Sue
cess II the Union street resident melted other
persons TO have their meters examined, and
ten metIes had been tested within the last
week, one only OF which was asrerthned to DO
correct. The remaining nine registered too fast
OF MIR. Hugh Boyd, OF - Iompkins place, was a
metre that had been there for sixteen years.
The test showed that II registered thirteen per
cent. too fast. The gas company, on complaint
Of Mr.. Boyd, made "a reduction OF eleven per
cent. on their oils Of tho past three or four
months only. Another man had metre that
was ten per cent. too fast, add another SIX per
cent. In several cases gas consumers have not
been satisfied with tae reduction allowed by tne
COMPANY and are pref aring to institute SUIT, one
consumer demanding $50. Tho company as
sert that he Is entitled TO only $50, which they
have paid.

ADVERTISING AS 4 FINE ART.

The Seattle Tribune makes some very
sensible suggestions IN reference to adj
yertising as fine art, which we heartily
commend to the attention of the public
The object to be sought is to interest
the people, to spice business announce
ments in such manner as to conceal
their distinctive character and make
them tickle the fancy of the reader,
just as the proper condiments add a
relish to bean soup or boarding house
stew. When this is done, no part of
the daily paper isread with more avidity
than the new advertisements. They
are perused for pleasure as well as pro-
fit, and the wide-awake salesman and
his bulletins are the subject of street
talk if he deals in sugar or syrup, OF tea
table gossip, if his business runs in the
line of lace and ribbons One or two
of our merchants struck this lead a few
days ago, when they inaugurated the
calico war, but they have not vet come
too close enough quarters to make the
contest interesting. The loss of few
yards of cotton is tritling compared
with the notoriety resulting from this
mode of attracting public attention.
Scores of people SO to purchase calico,
and when the victim (hguratively speak
ing) is in the net, he must indeed be an
unskillful salesman who cannot land his
fish.
AS a rule, aside from a business card,
which serves the purpose OF directory
merely, advertisements should be speci-
fic, and not general. They should en-
brace but single idea, and it should be
presented in the most forcible and attrac-
tive form. Such ideas, like lath-nails or
shoe-pegs. should be driven by a single
blow, and Immediately supplanted by
something else fresh and sparkling.
These witicisms, unlike the jokes of the
circus ling, will not bear unlimited re-
petition, and soon pail the taste, unless
the change is rapid and incessant. To
keep this up requires skill and patient
study, but there is no Investment of time
OF n onoy which will pay better percen-
tage Of profit The instances are in
Vulnerable, where advertising has been
a literal * bonanza" to bold and enter
prizing prospectors. The axiom for
business men is something like cooking
the hare: First obtain something OF
merit to advertise, and than dish up
boldly aud season to taste.
We started ont to tell what the Iii-
baJJe knew about advertising, but hay-
ing warmed up on the theme, have Civ
en- our own views instead. Next time we
