Joe PuIItzer's Various Career-Laborsr.
Cabman, Editor, Congressman.

George Alfred Townsendl
Joe Pulitzer has got 1000 majority for
congress in this city. He is of rare tpye
here, and it is generally believed that his
stock is Polish with one side Hebrew. He
claims, however. to he o hungarian.
Certainly his family did live n Vienna
for some time and there Joseph visited
his mother until her deccase Il lew years
ago. lie must have had some education,
for he rea lily got hold of the English
language. and is very good speaker in it.
lie must have had some business eX-
perience or derivation, for he has seized
upon expedients and opportunities for
making money, and nearly everything he
has taken hold of he has sold to advantage
He does not seem to keep anything very
long.
luring the war he was q common
soldier. He then settled at St Louis as
laborer, even driving cab. Intent on
getting ahead. he was employed by an
emigration society to get news for lit
tie sheet they published. The news in
this sheet recommended itself to the pro-
prietors of the principal German news
paper in ST. Louis, who employed Pulitzer
10 get them up similar news. His COM
bined salaries were about SO week at
this business. In time he was able to
German newspaper. Schurz and he had
a falling out about that time. Schurz
wanted power, Pulitzer wanted money.
Some of PulitZers acquaintance were not
satisfactory to Schurz. He sold his in
terest in the German paper for a large
profit, and then. buying small German
paper of no value, sold its news franchise
to Mckee, who was afterwards convicted
In the whisky trials, for very respectable
amount
He then esSayed to get into politics. and.
l think. was i'll the state legislature. He,
at any rate, was a member of the last con-
stitutional convention of Missouri
Finally. he got hold of an evening paper
in st. LOUIS, and, being a good Judge of
men, built 1t up to piece of property
worth 500 n week. His enemies in
st. Louis beat him for the state legisls-
ture badly. Keeping his property there.
he turned his attention to New York, and
was for years and years trying to get hold
of the broken down World This paper
at last fell into his hands. when its
owners L grown sick and tired of pay
ing its bills. and of being del1ded with all
kinds of expectations of big trade
Pulitzer had younger brother, long a
reporter on The Herald, who had already
started penny paper here, which now
has large circulation and is generally
well spoken of. The elder Pulitzer revo-
lutionized the newspaper business in that
town by publishing an enterprising sheet
of eight pages for 2 cents. and advertise
ments for next to nothing. The Herald
and The Times had to follow suit when
they saw what an inroad he was making
upon them. Just as he had gripped
moderate success the passion for pub
lie consideration led him TO run for CON
gress. Pulitzer is Democratic man in
affabilities, does not talk much about
high purity, believes in the cohesive globe,
and he is at this moment as much in.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE WINTER TRADE.
To the Ladies' Of Port Tounsend:

PREPARATIONS FOR THE WINTER TRADE.
To the Ladies Of Port TOUnsemd:
Owing to my recent illness there have
been some mistakes and misunderstand-
lngs in regard to my orders for winter
millinery goods. My fall stock of winter
teltS, seal furs" and pattern hats and
bonnets ought to be here nos, but in
some way the dealers misunderstood nv
order. and now 1 find on investigation
that only one order is on tue way-pat-
terms, bats and honuets. These will be
here very soon. The rest OF my stock |
have lad to recorder, so these will not
reach here until about Nov. 18th or 18th.
My plans were perfected to visit
CoupevIlle and Laconner about the 10th
inst. with q full liue OF well selected fall
and Wluter millinery. l will now have
To postpone this trip uatil about the 18th
or 2Oth inst, when l will then visit these
places. l wish to secure the patronage
of our neighboring towns, and in visit
ing them myself l am sure can convince
all that they can do as well, if not better,
right at home than to send away to other
towns. My long experience in purchas-
ing goods warrants me in saying that
can sell better goods for less money than
others who travel over the country with
stock that is not new. import directly,
and in SO doing 1 lind that l can buy
much cheaper; consequently l can and
do sell uew and the latest styles for less
money than many who do not know what
is new.
1 wish to visit the islands in order to
get acquainted. When my work and
prices are known am sure can get the
patronage of people who are now send
ing to other towns. When they know
they can be suited in both style and
price they will surely patrorize their
own town. OF these facts crn convince
them by visiting in person and showing
stock. Fiona d. BRoWN,

ADVANTAGES OF Low CEILINGs.--Room

The leakage Of air which is always going OIL

only the lower part Of the air is moved and
an inverted lake Of foul and hot air is left
floating in the space above the window
