Elements of Success,

From the New York Star.
Notwithstanding the enormous fortunes ac-
cumulated through the use of printers ink,
large sums Of money are annually wasted in in
effectual and unremunerative advertising.
The merits Of q really valuable commodity,
properly portrayed in the columns of an infiu-
entail and widely.-read newspaper, will speedily
become generally known and appreciated,
while the returns reaped by the advertiser will
more than justify the amount expended
Clearness, attractiveness, brevity, and sim
certify must characterize any announcement in

public confidence. An advertisement inserted
in London journal a few days ago brought in
slant and multitudinous replies, accompanied
by an almost unlimited supply of bank-notes,
simply because it touched the chord of nature
which makes all mankind akin Its simple pa
thos and self-evident truthfulness appealed to
every heart
The advertiser sought for lost relative. and,

this advertisement. Write me at -" (giv-
ing the address). As already stated, nearly
every one who read the announcement has

Thus it is with really meritorious commod-
ity or preparation; if its virtues be properly
and truthfully set forth in the public press, its
success is prompt and certain
On the other hand, the public is Quick and
unerring TO detect deception and charlatanry;
and, accordingly, no amount of ''puffery" will
force vile nostrum into public esteem and
patronage.

grandchild who was playing near him. He
called to the child and said: 81 can see you"
''Oh, no, you can't" SAID the little fellow,
knowing the affection Of his grandfather.

THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY.
Judge Miller Dismisses the Case Against
the Hold Carriers Union.

Yesterday afternoon, in the Police Court,
Judge Miller heard testimony in the case of
twelve members of the hod carriers union,
charged with conspiracy. As heretofore pub
lished in The STAR, the charge was made against
the defendants by Thomas Reeder, who had
been member of the union, but seeded and
went into new organization. The prosecution
was not the result of what the laboring men
usually term boycott The charge was
brought under the common law for conspiracy
Law POINTS.
Mr.. Campbell Darlington, for the defendants,
claimed that conspiracy was a misdemeanor
over which the Police Court had Jurisdiction
and he was therefore entitled to trial upon an
information.
Prosecuting Attorney Armes abandoned the
charge as brought under the common law, and
held that the case might properly be tried I'M
der section of the civil rights act. He elected
this act under which to proceed.
Judge Miller thought that the civil rights act
would not apply in this case.
MIR. Darlington expressed the same opinion.
THE CoMPLAINANT's TESTIMONY.
The complainant then gave testimony as to
being deprived of work by the action of the de-
PENDANTS. He admitted that as a member of
the union he had assisted in making its rules
and laws, and that he had taken part in similar
proceedings against non-union workers; and
that under the same condition of affairs he
would have acted as the defendants did had he
been member of the union at that time.
JUDGE MILLER sUsrAINs THE UNION.
Judge Miller, in dsposing of the case, said
that Reeder evidently did not like dose of
his own medicine. In speaking of the union,
Judge Miller said that it was composed of a
class of men who do the hardest laboring work
performed. Their association, he said, was not
formed like many clubs for gambling purposes,
but it was formed for the protection of them
selves, and the court would not attempt to strain
any point of the law against them. Like every
body else they are liable to make an error some
time, but if they were not organized to work
together they would be crushed beneath the
feet Of the capitalists. Under the proof in this
case there certainly was no conspiracy shown
and the case was therefore dismissed.

CANADIAN RAILROADS.
Testimony i'm Regard to them Before
the Senate Committee.

After the examination of President Roberts. of
the Pennsylvania railroad. by the Senate inter-
state commerce investigating committee with
which the report of The STAR closed yesterday,
President W. c. Van Horn, of the Canadian Pa
cific, described his road from Halifax across
the continent to Vancouver. and thence by a
line of subsidized steamers to China, Japan
and Australia. The Canadian roads compete
with American roads for trade from San Fran
cisco, China, Japan and Alaska in the west and
Senator Cullom-What percentage of your
traffic is taken from the United States?
Mr.. Van Horn-I do not know the exact fig
ures but, aside from coal. the percentage of
trade taken from the United States is very
small
He told how the road was constructed. the
amount of subsidy by the Canadian govern
ment, and said though it had not vet made any
money many of its bonds have been bought in
with money made from the sale of the lands
which the government originally gave to the
Canadian Pacific company. The total amount
of subsidy and aid given to the road by the
government amounts to a little over S62 0O0-
900, according to Mr. Vanhorns statement.
The trans-continental trade from China. Japan,
and the western part of the country, over the
Canadian Pacific road. is constantly increasing
1t gets about ten or twelve per cent of all the
western and Pacific trade.
He said that the relations of his road with
his government were not SO intimate as those
between the Pennsylvania road and the govern
ment at Washington. and that his road could
run every day in the year.
Mr.. Vanhorn was followed by President and
General Manager John Newell, of the Lake
Shore and Michigan railway, which. he said,
was a consolidation of four or five roads with
terminals at Chicago and Buffalo. President
Newell testified that his road suffered severely
from the competitive practices of the Canadian
roads, and offered to furnish the committee
with documentary evidence of the unfair deal
ings and methods of the Grand Trunk railway
in particular, which he said was now one of the
largest carriers out of Chicago Chairman Cul-
lom accepted his offer.
President and General Manager Henry Led
yard. of the Michigan Central railroad, followed
Mr.. Newell. His road, he said, was rapidly
losing its export business by reason of the fact
that the Canadian roads were practically free
to do as they pleased, while the American roads
were fettered by the interstate law.
Senator German asked what would be the eff
feet on the shippers of the United States if the
Canadian roads were entirely eliminated
Not an iota of difference" was the reply
Throughout this examination Mr.. Ledyard was
quite bitter against the Canadian railroads and
rather favored special legislation against them
