FROM the NtnBedpOL5s Tribune.
A reporter accidentally overheard an alb
surd feminine m understanding while roam
ing about the ~ oOds block yesterday. A LADY
entered a room on the third floor and ass ed
the woman apparently in charge of the prem
ises if She could purchase a hustle. The re-
port er had never witnesse the sale and de-
! very of a hustle, and the question aroused
his curiosity. Possibly tn supreme moment
of his life had come, when The n ture and
machinery of bustles would be revealed to his
basHful gaze. "Perha ps," thOusht he and
blushed a gular reportOrial blush, ''thev'u
Fl the thing on or no sale" WhOop! who
wouldn't be a reporter occasionally? Here
was an adventure to repay him for the ar,iu-
Gus drudgery of three grocer m etings, a
northeast improvement association and r D
to the ii 81 ward for election returns. He
drew near. Alas! the tall woman in charge
advanced on the intruder, and remarked in a
stentOrian key: I'VE don't sell our bustles :"
"Oh. | didn't know; hought"-
1--WE don't sell our hustle -
"Gooaness! l didn't mean any harm, saw
your sign, and''-
Tall woman advancing, with marked en-
phass: I'VE don't sell our hustlesn'
At this point the little woman beat a asty
retreat. and nearly fell over the reporter, who
fingered long enough to learn that the estan-
! shment was one where bustles of extra size
were male for ID tkOta girls. and none are sold
IN town at retail. The little woman, if she
sees this item, will understand why she was
rpbuked.

The Rrnoks-PrelIer case.

The trial of a remarkable murder case
began in st. Louis yesterday. The de-
fendant is Hugh Nj. Brooks, alias Max
well, and he is charged with having mur-
dered G. Arthur Preller at the Southern
hotel in the above-named city, about April
10 Of last year.
The body of Preller was found in a zinc
lined trunk in the room occupied by
Preller and Brooks. At the time of the
discovery decomposition had already be-
gun, and, in fact, had pr ceeded solar
that It was with some difficulty that a
recognizable photograph OF the features
OF the murdered man was obtained.
The discovery of the murder caused in
quries to be made at once for Brooks. 1t
was soon learned that he had taken a
steamer at san Francisco for New Zea-
land. Detectives followed him, and ar
rested him at Auckland. He was brought
hack to st. Louis and has been confined
In the jail of that city ever since.
Brooks and Preller met on a steamer
that was bound from Liv rpOol 20 New
York. Brooks was a young solicitor who
had decamped from his native town on
account Of certain evil practices Of which
he was guilty. On the steamer he passed
himselfof as a physician, and having
some knowledge OF medicine got along
very well.
Preller was travelling salesman. and
was sent TO the United States by the drm
he represented to dispose Of goods. He
was a man OF fine education and good
habits. Brooks taking ways won his
confidence, and as Brooks was greatly in
need Of money it is supposed that the
murder was committed for the money
which Preller had on his person.
The case will be remarkable one in
the history Of criminal trials ia this cOun-
try from the fact that there doesn't seem
to be any doubt that Brooks is guilty of
the crime with which be Il charged and
that it will be extremely difficult 10 prove
his guilt 70 the satisfaction OF the jury.
William Walter Phelps has explained
bis position. He doesn't want TO be
nominated for Governor OF New jersey
unless there is pretty good prospect for
a Republican victory. de probably APP
preciates the fact that be is not the man
10 lead a forlorn hope.

The value of Advertising.

The best known men of the present day,
with comparatively few exceptions, are
those who have been liberal and persist
ent advertisers. 1t is not necessary TO
mention the names OF those who have ac-
quired wealth and fame by the use of
printers ink. Take this city for instance.
We venture to say that the merchants
who use the columns OF the MORNING
NEWS are better known in Georgia and
Florida than any politician of either
State. Savannah, however, needs more
advertising.
In some lines of business her interests
are being slightly represented, if at all, in
its daily press. Drummers are a neces-
sty to all kinds OF business which depend
upon territory beyond the city for patron
age, but those valuable adjuncts to trade
could do much better if the names of the
houses they represent were kept continu-
ally before buyers through the medium OF
their daily newspaper. The advertise
ment constantly reminds them of articles
which they need but which would never
be thought of until the drummer came
Some merchants pretend to think tnat
they can get along without advertising,
or that to advertise looks as though they
were not doing as well as their competi-
tors. The fact that the houses which ad-
vertise freely are, as a rule, the most
prosperous, is all the answer they need.
Those who don't advertise gradually lose
their business. To say 10 hing of the retail
business, the MORNING NEWS can point
to the three largest cotton and commits
sion houses in this CITY as persistent adj
vertisers for years. They are at present
the leading and the wealthiest houses.
They don't advertise to any great extent
now because they have, probably, all the
customers they want. There is, however,
hundreds of business men in this city
who are seeking trade. They have yet
their fortunes to make. To such, news
paper advertising offers the sure road to
success, provided that In addition to ju-
dicious advertising they give their close
attention to their business affairs.
