Advertising Medium.

Ths well known advertising agency OF
nao p Rowell Il Co. of New York City. have
;ssued an annual Newspaper Directory for
,b;rty wears or more, and these publications
have have been generally recognized AZ authority
~ N the matter of newspaper circulation.
Tn,he regular issues Of the Directory they
hays included oil the newspapers published
;n tbe United States and Canada. Quite
rscently, however, they have issued con-
dsnsed list. 1t gives only the best newspa-
ners "A advertising mediums, and hence is
practically better, because more convenient,
ihan their larger Directory. Four-fifths of
tbe % newspapers of the United States are
nroctioally "counted out" by intelligent ad-
rrertisers, who only want to know the best.
Hence the value of the work under notice.
Tba nublishers in the preface we'll say:

We need scarcely say that on this plan,

Marcos and Hays county, 1t being the only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both at home and

Beaver People Disappointed.

TIE HIBBARD-FRY BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
TURNING OCT TO BE VERY TAME.
People at Beaver, Pa. are beginning to feel
imposed upon in consequence of the lack of
sensational developments in the Hibbard-Fry
100000 breach of promise suit. No torrid
love letters have been put in evidence and no
one but the widow and her daughter among
the witnesses seems to have noticed that Mr.
Fry was ardent in his lOve-making. Longing
looks and hlgh-pressure intensity are totally
lacking. and never was there such beggarIv
array OF love letters. At the tina Mrs. Hib-
bard declares their affair was at the tropical
heat Mr.. Fry wrote 10 her as Mrs. Hibbard ~
There is no Dear Eliza" to be discovered any,
where on any paper.
John HibOard was called to the stand yester-
day and testified: The day Mr.. FRY got the
note from mother he called me aside. telling
ne that he and mother had Just had quarrel.
You know I've called on your mother he said.
about four times The first time your mother
Told me about her early marriage and made me
pity her. After that / called through mere
Kindness and out of sympathy. To-day she
told me she would make it warm for me- Mr.
Fry then begged me. for his familys sake and
Tor my own, to try and prevent trouble. and 1
promised 70 do all | could. After mother en-
tered suit against Mr.. Fry had another inter
view with him at his request He upbraided
me for not shaping the matter, and said that
when he was with mother at the Hotel Auder-
son he had private detective in hiding, who
took down all of their conversation He also
said II this suit was continued he would bring
suit for perjury against mother and land her
in the penitentiary"

bothered Norman b. Ream, the big bear
operator, almost daily, asking him to become a
bull. To-day Harris found Ream in Schwartz
Dupee's Office with some friends. Dropping
on his knees in the inniddle of the room, he
delivered the following remarkable PRAYER in
fervent tones:
Almighty Ruler of the universe Thou W no
seest INTO the hearts and reads the thoughts of
mankind; Thou who sendest the blessed rain
and changeth the seasons; who holdest the
harvests of the earth III the hollow of Thv hand

HIM that reaps, put into the heart of Norman
b. Ream to look upon the situation with the
eyes of Thy humble servant who prays, and
may the result, whatever it be. rebound to Thy
eternal glory. Amen"
Ream and the others listened reverentiallv.
Then Ream said: Il guess I'll follow that" He

caught the right side of the whirl. and gave
Harris a check for the amount of his profit.

Badness Quite the STYLE.
AND, MOREOVER, IT Is THE HEALIHIEsT PEoI
WHO OFTEN ARE BALDIST.

AND, MOREOVER, II Is THE HEALIHIEsT PEOPLE
WHO OFTEN ARE BALDEST.
From the Chicago Herald
Ihackeray somewhere makes the remark
that, If you dislike man at starting and con-
tnue your aversion, il is curious what reasons
You viii find and even advance in support of
your yiew-his manner TO his morher-in-law or
ms undlsgulsed badness. Now. according to
the London GIOoe, twenty years ago badness
was much more noticed than now, and forty or
NIFTY years ago much more noticed than then.
There are several reasons for this. but the most
obvious Is that badness is now much more gen.
eral than II used to be. IL We take up an old
Punch there are plenty of illusions TO this
cause OF annoyance. Testy old gentlemen
grow angry with hairdressers who uunecessa-
rlly auude to what vas thought an affection
frecoclous children wonder at the foreheads
winch their Uncles display at the back Of their
heads. In the old pantomines wigs were
always falling of and revealing UNEXPECTEDLY
polished scalps. One has but to let ones MEM
DRY run back and endless illustrations of the
sane ruth reeur. Those were the days when
men seemed afraid Of being venerable and an
oid beau was an object rather of admiratio on
than of reproach
One cause was that those DAYS followed on
me days when all gentlemen wore wigs and
therefore no gentleman looked bald The owe
was unaccustOmed to smooth surfaces and
such as were seen at once attracted notice. But
the main cause was that badness and gray
nAHs were ankle regarded as the inevitable in
dleatlons OF age. People were not then accus-
toned to see middle-aged men bald. They are
accustomed to il now. 1t is curious how ca
dUcity has increased and the prevalence Of !.
taken away the old reproach. All the arpn-
ments against its existence, and All fba
facts prove that the arguments are misleadinc
People lead healthier lives now than thew used
10 do, and yet they are balder. People lead
longer lives, and yet they grow bald earlier
and, moreover, il is the heslthiest people who
are often the bsldest. Indeed il almost be-
comes a question whether in these DAYS bald
ness is evidence 10 a very reliable extent either
OF age OF Of delicacy. OF the decay of vital
power il is certainly no conclusive proof Con-
sumptive patients and persons suffering from
lingering diseases are not, as a rule, bald, and
more frequently than otherwise seem 70 put a
great deal Of strength into their hair.

Pasteur's Female Opponent,

Paris Dispatch to the London Telegraph
Nine. Huot, the lively black-haired and
dark-eyed little woman who is the chief cham
pion and spokeswoman of the anti-vivisection-
lists Of Paris, has just delivered her annual
denunciation of NJ. Pasteur and all his discov-
cries. The clever lady spoke for nearly an
hour, and was complimented satirically by q
band OF boisterous students, who, however,
drowned her voice when she called NJ. Pasteur
"a churner of microbes" and "a concocter of
ii O'Clock bouillons." Mime. Huot was accom-
panied on the platform by Blanquist tailor in
a black blouse and by a lawyer. The students
finally broke up the meeting amid shouts OF
"Vive Pasteur," and Mme Huot wound up the
proceedings by going round the audience for
subscriptions in aid of dozen stray dogs
which some friends of hers are trying to keep
clear Of the scalpels of the Yiyisectors.
