Some Neat Compliments Paid to the
"Tattler''-An Enlargement i'm the
Fall.
One of the neatest compliments paid to
the SUNDAY TATT1ER has just been paid to
it by Congressman William Walter Phelps.
In common with the rest of the papers
published in the State, The SUNDAY TArr1ER
sends copy of each issue without cost to
each of the Representatives of the State in
Congress the Senators and Representa-
tiyes. We have sent our copies to Wash
ington with the conviction that they would
find the Congressman wherever they might
be. We know it to be rule among public
men, to throw away many of the State pa
pers without tearing the wrappers from them
to see what is in them; but we sent the
TATTLER in the hope that, if either of the
Congressman once opened it, he would
find it worth opening a second time. That
Mr.. Phelps, who is conspicuous figure in
Congress, has found it So is evidenced by
the following postal card received at this
Office the other day, which we publish
without his permission, and at the risk of
offending him:
NEW YORK, July Is.
list of Congressman W. W. Phelps to No. 2 Wall
street. Yours &c.
JIM, for W. w.P.
Mr.. Phelps has evidently found the TAT
TIER attractive, though it is not published
in his Congressional district, and may be
presumed to have no local attractions Tor
him. He probably likes the TATTLER be-
cause, as we know, it is the best informed
paper in the State on State matters.
"Praise from Sir Hubert is praise in
deed :" and Major E. J. Anderson, the
Comptroller of the State of New Jersey,
whose judgment on newspaper matters is
as valuable as his judgment on State mat
| ters, says an heterogeneous word for u.s.
Every week his table is Uttered with the
mail from all sections Of the State. We
won't say that he never opens the great
mass of them, for we do not know that
that would be the truth
.sBut," he added, s'you make wonder

and to make sure of its reaching my hands

A wealthy lady living on the Heights,
who is leader in social circles, sent lit
| tie notice to us for insertion recently. She
desired to have it inserted, this lady
writes, Sin popular paper. prefer the
TATT1EB," the lady kindly adds, Gas I
know it is read by the better class
The TATTLER, we desire to add, is not
made up to please any one class more than
another. Our object is to please all classes.
That we are patronized by the better
is due to the fact that while we slight none
of the news, we make paper SO devoid of
uncleanliness that the most fastidious can
safely order it to their houses for their
wives and daughters to read. That we are
pleasing all classes is shown by our phe-
nomenal circulation. Notwithstanding the
season when absence from home makes it
impossible for countless regular readers to
get the paper, and when even those who
are forced to stay at home find Sunday
excursion more enjoyable recreation than
newspaper reading, the SUNDAY TATTLER
has held its own, in the matter of sale.
Last Sunday over $500 went out of this
office to newsdealers and newsboys.
In the Fall-probably on the first Sun
day in September shall enlarge the pa
per by the addition of two columns to each
page That will giyeour readers nine columns
on each page, and each column will be
longer than at present. We propose when
we make the enlargement to add features
that will make the TATTLER even more at
tractive than IL is
