THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.
Greatly Benefited by his Short Cruise
on Salt w alter.

The President as announced in THE Sr.R of
yesterday. returned from his holiday trip in
company with Mrs. Harrison. Benjamin Harri-
son Mckee, Secretaries Window and Rusk and
Senator Hawiey. They were met at the navy
yard by Mrs. Mckee and proceeded at once to
their respective homes. Both the President
and Mrs. Harrison enjoyed the trip immensely
and the Presidents appearance shows that he
was benefited materially by the three days
rest The party did absolutely nothing with
view to amusing themselves; they were content
TO remain on deck "a much az possible of the
time and to imbibe the cool sea breezes of the
lower Potomac and the bay. The Despatch ar
rived atFortress Monroe early on Sunday morn
ing and was saluted by the fort before a mes
senger from the President, bearing a request
not to fire the guns. could get ashore. After
breakfast the President received the officers Of
the fort on board the Despatch. and then. with
Senator Hawiey. attended service at the Epis-
eopal church. The two Secretaries and the
senator went ashore together in the afternoon
and stTOlled around for a couple OF hours. The
Despatch was headed upstream shortly before
sundown. but lay to in one rather risAy place
Tor more than an hour.
STOP WAS MADE AT MOUNT VERNON
yesterday morning. and the lady regents, now
in session, involuntarily became the hosts of
the presidential party. There were pleasant
greetings and interesting chats. The latest
additions 70 material WashingtOniana were dis
played, a few OF them interesting the President
greatly because they belonged TO some of his
distinguished ancestors. benjamin. uniOr.
enjoyed himself immensely. He inspected the
live stock and gathered flowers. some of the
latter being presented by him to his grand
father. Laden with huge bouquets the party
returned to tine Despatch and continued their
voyage homeward.
Within half an hour after his arrival at the
White House the President at work upon
the correspondence which accumulated during
his absence.
At o'clock he suspended to receive about
900 delegates who were returning from the con-
VentlOn Of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. The visitors were much pleased with
their reception, and the President seemed to be
as glad as they were.
e. Upon the basis of price per line per 1000
circulation, the advertising rates of The EVEN
ING STAR are only about half as high as those of
other Washington papers. But cheapness is
not the only merit. It's servioe is better atdn
any other paper in tie city can possibly gire!

Improved Business Methods.

From Table Talk
The merchant or manufacturer who hopes to
do large and successful business to-day, while
adherinS to the popular methods of half
century ago, will be disappointed. And so he
should. Amy individual or firm who is unwill-
ing to keep pace with modern progress, and
adjust his methods to the wants of his age
does not merit success; neither can he reason
ably expect to secure 1t to any large degree.
One of the most important innovations in
modern business is advertising. BY very
few it is still regarded with some aversion; but
the large majority of intelligent purchasers
realize their indebtedness to advertising for
much OF the valuable information which thev
possess about the qualities, varieties and special
features OF the goods which they purchase
They regard advertisements as 80 many
speeches made to them in which the merits or
distinctive points Of the article are more con-
clsely and intelligently presented than is fire.
quently done by salespeOple. and if they feel
the need of such an article they naturally ask
their dealer to show il. Instead Of regarding
advertising suggestive of questionable quail
lty, they are more inclined to entertain conf
dence in their merit. acting upon the common
sense principle that if the article were not
meritorious 1t would not pay 70 advertise it,
II Is true that exaggerations and msrepre-
sensations are sometimes made in advertising,
just as they are employed by some salespeople,
and by some OF all classes. The question of
veracity cannot be determined by the method
employed to describe the goods, but only by
the character and principles of the individual,
and there are hosts OF honorable advertisers,
the number of which is daily increasing, who
would no more think of misrepresenting in
their advertisement than they would in their
own Office or salesroOm
1t pays consumers to read the announcements
OF responsible and honorable firms for the sake
of the business information they gain. Just as
1t pays them to read the other part Of the mag
aZine fer a different kind of information.

The coming year promises to be crowded

The Examiners gathering machin-

the habitable globe. Nothing can escaps
their vigilance, and no expense is spared in
spreading the results of their efforts before

world contribute to the Weekly Examiner.
