Plants of the Trade" Paper.

Some of the most profitable newspaper
property III this country is found in the
plants of the trade" paper. \ glance within
a newspaper directory will convince any one
of the completeness with which this field is
covered. There is scarcely n trade or in
dustry or enterprise that has not its repre-
sentative journal-either daily, weekly, fort
nightly or monthly. Some OF these aim 10
cover all the news points in the trade they
represent, and give, besides general informa-
ton on the subject, editorial and other COM
ment relative to their particular trade Others,
through neglect, inability or lazfncSS, have
let their advertisements grow UP till they
have choked out the news features. This is
especially true Of the older and richer ones.
The advertising space invariably increases
at the expense Of the news columns. The
advertising rates are very high, as the price
charged for subscriptions is but a nominal
one. In fact, many OF the magazines dis
tribute a goodly part of their circulation
gratuitously-and they can well afford TO.
The journals of the brewers, iron men, furni-
ture manufacturers, and the railway papers
are by far the richest of the hebdomadal
newspapers in this city. Most Of these We're
started since the great fire, and have wnxed

An artist, talking Of places for summer

spots which are now said to be- infected with
malaria, and wondered if the Introduction of
so spccious sounding a name had not some
thing to do with it. 1t did not use to he SO,
he said. The first time l ever saw tho
word was upon n picture by Hebert, in the
Luxembourg, twenty years ago. 1t was n
beautiful picture, full of n soft, dreamy senti-
ment, rs thought when looked ut it, but
now l know that the name, which was sim
ply malaria, meant that the mist on the
water was poisonous and the dreamy women,
half covered with their mantles and crouched
in the boat, were too ill to smile and the
youth standing up with pole in his hand
had not strength to push his boat, but let it

"In the u. S. District Court this morn
ing, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Carr, of Jackson
vile, Fla, sued Mrs. +. Collins for SEQ.
900 damages for enticing away the plain
tiff's husband, Wm. L. Carr. 1t is stated
that in 1884 Mrs. Collins, who was then
living with her second husband in Provi-
dence, X. l., went to spend the winter at
hotel in Jacksonville, kept by the Cars.
She and Carr became infatuated with
each other and elOped. Mrs. Carr traced
them to Lake George and persuaded her
husband To return. Last November Mrs.
Collins again appeared at Jacksonville,
and once more she and Carr elOPed. In
April last Mrs. Carr secured divorce.
Mrs. Collins is SAID to have property
worth $40, 900 in Providence. She il be-
tween 81 aud 10 years of age, and of
striking appearance. When brought
before the ommissiOner she broke down
completely. She gave $50, 900 bonds to
appear"
VIM, l.. Carr, the man spoken of, was
for a while in Palatka, and his wife at
tracted more or less attention on account
of her prepossessing appearance, she
being a very handsome woman. They
had some money, and invested four or
five thousand dollars in lands somewhere
down the Florida Southern railway, but,
becoming dissatisfied with their purchase
left it, and began running hotel in
Jacksonville, with what success the tele-
gram above quoted tells.
