Newspaper Advertising Bureau

Advertisers who want to reach the best papers printed i'm the leading towns.
 There is constant call upOn us to make B selection for advertisers and to name favorable prices at which adveE- Using may be secured.
 There is a wide difference between the prices demanded by newspapers for an advertisement to be inserted a month and one which is to appear for a year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature of their advertisements, or because the adver- tIsement is one which they wish to try experimentalEy before making con- tracts for any extended time.
 Bearing in mind the wants of adver- ing local papers i'm every State by which we insert advertisements for A single month at prices approximating the yearly rate.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly rates, that advertisers do not understand how the advertising can be secured for the price which we name. For instance: in the State of COnuecti- cut, a list of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers, which would cost SS5.17 if contracted with singly. we are able to offer for &26.
 We secure a paper atthe State capital, one in each town having as much as 5000 population, and at the court house town in pOpulOus and wealthy cOun- tieSs
 Persons wishing a circuIar with lists of papers and the prices charged for advertising are desired to address

HoUsE-Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, tried to offer a resolution to further investigate all matters at Hot Springs, Ark, but objection was made
 The Speaker during the morning hour called the committees for reports of private ma ture.
 The morning hour having expired MT: Bright wanted to take up the private calendar, but was antagonized by the gentlemen who wanted to take up the rules, and the House decided to go into committee on the rules.
 In considering the rules one was adopted providing that 8 motion to suspend the rules shall only be entertained on the first and third Mondays of each month, preference on the first Monday to be given to individuals and on the third Monday to committees. The object of this was to prevent every Monday being occupied by motions to suspend the rules on all manner of resolutions only expressing the opinion of members. Some of the members wanted to go further and limit suspension to bills and joint resolutions. An amendment was also adopted requiring majority to sec ond motion to suspend the rules. and one which allows thirty minutes for debate on all motions to suspend.
 Mir. Harris, of Virginia, offered an amend ment that the Speaker shall not entertain motion to suspend the rules on Monday to consider 8 proposition merely expressing the opinion of the House on the question pro posed. After discussion the amendment was rejected
 MT. House, of Tennessee, offered new rule which authorized the majority of the House to withdraw any bill from the commit tee and have it reported to the calendar when the committee fails to report within fifty days. Messrs. House, Townsend and Young, in discussing this question, argued that the ma jority should control the business at all times. They referred for illustration to the case of the inter State commerce bill They believed that this House and the majority of the people of,this country were in favor of what was known as the Reagan bill, and yet because majority of the Committee on Commerce was opposed to the bill, it could not be brought in here that the House might vote upon it. The amend ment was rejected.
 When the rule regulating admission to the floor was under consideration, MT. Baker of fered an amendment to admit heads of de- partments. MT. Randall objected because he did not want departments turned loose here to control legislation. The amendment was rejected.
 Other amendments were offered to perfect the rules and then the committee rose, and the rules as amended were reported to the House. MT. Blackburn gave notice that he would ask the House to vote upon his amend ments on Tuesday next.
 The House then at 5:40 p. ID. adjourned until Monday.
 The House has had the rules under consid- eration for two months, and the delay in pass ing them has greatly retarded legislation.

Letter to Philadelphia Ledger.l
The trustees Of the Metropolitan
museum of art are in treaty for the
famous Abbott collection of Egyptian
antiquities, said to be the best in the
world excepting that of Boulaq,
Egypt. The intention is to incorpo-
rate it with the Cesnola collection.
The price originally put upon the
collection by DR.. Abbott was $50, 1000,
but the historical society got posses
sion Of it for $4,000 or whereabouts.
Some twenty years ago the collection
was exhibited in Broadway, but the
political state of the country at that
time was SO disturbed that it failed to
excite the attention at that time Of
which it was deserving. The British
museum at one time was DESTROYS Of
purchasing a part Of 1t, but fortu-
nately for us the negotiation for some
reason or other fell through. 1t is
not aseertained as yet what the his
torical society will sell it for, but it is
estimated by those who ought to know
something about it, that $4,000 will
probably cover the cost. There ought
to be no difficulty about raising that
by private subscription.
