Some Business Suggestions.

Does your business pay? Could
you not make 1t pay better by doing
some advertising in judicious way?
Some business men are always on
the lookout for a new customer and
contriylng ways to please and meet
the wants of old ones. The best and
cheapest method to get new customers
Is by advertising in an enterprising
newspaper.
Advertising doesn't sell any mans
goods, 1t only lets the people, the pur-
chaser, know where to find them.
The newspaper that is read by the
most people is the one In which to
advertise.
There Is a great deal in writing an
attractive advertisement. Do you
give your ads. your best attention =?
II you expect to do large business
on the fact that you know so many
people. you will get left. The ones
you don't know are greatly in the
majority. How are you to reach
them In the most favorable manner
at the least expense? BY placing an
attractive advertisement In the news
paper.
Instances haye been cited where
large advertisers have gone under.
This was not the fault of the advertis.
ing, but of the advertiser. A man can
lose money specializing in advertising
the same az In wheat. 1t is In dealing
with the Article as a staple that re-
suits Ia sure returns.
The newspaper THAT takes advertis'
ing 10 fll up with cannot prosper. A
newspaper that has Its rates too high
cannot sell its space. There Is nor.
NAL rate. that is, a rate which the
publisher can afford to accept and
make a profit, and which the adyer'
| tiser can afford to pay and also make

from South Carolina asked me how 7
liked their demonstration. | replied
very much except the displaying Of the
Confederate flag; that / thought there
ought to be but one flag shown on any
occasion in this country, and that the
United States flag. He answered that
he thought SO too, and further expressed
the opinion that the occasion then in
question would probably be the last
time that the Confederate flag would be
displayed in public in this country.
Just at that time a young man less than
80 years of age stepped up and said:
No, it is not 1t will be kept up and
unfurled as long as the country stands.
"There were two old x-Confederates
present, who heard the conversation,
and both rebuked the young man and
told him it was such young upstarts as
he, who were not born when the war
broke out, that kept up the strife be-
tween the sections. A small boy or
years old stood near me at the stand
waving the United States flag and join
ing Justify in the rebel yell, while on the
door step near by was little girl about
the same age, clad in complete suit Of
flags, waving flag and joining in the
enthusiasm"
These specimens Of testimony are fair
illustrations of the conversation of the
more radical Republicans who have, re-
turned from the Lee unveiling. They
show that in the one point of ignoring
the stars and stripes the early dispatches
from Richmond made the situation
worse than it really was,

Mexico May Forbid the Chinese From I'm
terinE II err Gates.

Mexico May Forbid the Chinese From Kn'
tering Her Gates.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 3.--The influx
of Chinese into the frontier states of the
republic is producing marked alarm
among the laboring classes, more espe-
cially among the gold and silver mining
residents in the district invaded. The
newspapers of those localities have al
ready taken up the cudgels in defense Of
their patrons, stating that if there is nS
extradition placed on She yellow pests
the same scenes that have occurred in
the United States will be repeated in
Mexico.
The Chinese, it is claimed, are super
seding the Mexican miners and other
laborers, from the fact that they will
work cheaper. While many believe
that the Chinese are landing in the
frontier states of Mexico for the pur-
pose Of making their way across the
line into the United States. The gen
eral opinion among Mexicans is that
they come to take the place Of the ma
tives.
If the Chinese continue to arrive in
such numbers as they have arrived re-
Gently, the result will be TO benefit the
United States, because such action as
| has already been taken by the northern
republic will be necessary here. At the
council meeting in this city Saturday
night, an ordinance was presented by
five aldermen calling for the compulsory
use of pantaloons In place of the cotton
material now used by the lower laboring
| classes.
The president oi the council appoint
ed a committee Of five aldermen 70 OBJ
lige employees on street work 10 use pam
falcons of other material than cotton
and to wait upon the proprietors OF fac
tories and to assist the reform move
ment. Compulsory city laws Of the
same nature exist already in nearly all
the large cities Of the republic and have
had the desired effect Of making the
lower classes discard their flowing cot
ton trousers for mixed wool cotton ma
terial.
There was quite fight over the ordi-
nance, one alderman desiring to amend
it 20 as TO include blouses. but he was
voted down. The threatened invasion
of Mexico from Texas by Mexican NAL
contents Is considered absurd. Should
sucn an attempt b. made il would end
as did Rey's expedition from Arizons
several years ago, when, after "a battle
the insurrectionists sought the Amsri
can side, were captured by United States
troops, tried and sentenced TO prissii ri
Detroit for a number of years. Fdiougt

Decree of the Directors of the Provincial
Bank of Ireland.
LoNIoN, June 3.-The recent decree
of the directors of the Provincial bank
of Ireltnd, that none Of their clerks is
to marry until his salary reaches e150
per year, continues to create considera-
BILE CON ment, owing IN great measure
to the fact that the possible maximum
of bank clerks salary is only G12O in
most cases, and the new rule may be
viewed as one to enforce celibacy. One
of the Provincial bank clerks and a
would-be benedict, who had out of his
e120 per year, saved $50 with view to
marriage, has been obliged to break his
engagement, owing to the decree, be-
cause there Is ne symptom of increased
pay, though the bridegroom expectant
has been eighteen years in the service.
A prominent Dublin attorney now
comes forward and offers to institute
proceedings against the bank for dam
ages for the young lady in question,
and claims that he can make out a good
case against the concern. The outcome
of the salt is anxiously awaited by many
other clerks in a similar predicament.
The rule seems to be hard, though this
is not the first bank to enforce such an
edict.

DUEL IN A CEMETERY.
Rival Lovers Fight Over an Evansville
Belle-Qne Wounded,

Rival Lovers Fight Over an Evansville
Relle-Qne Wounded,
LOUISVILLE, June 3.-The Courier
Journal says:
At 10:46 o'clock Sunday night st,
Louis cemetery, dark and gloomy, was
the scene of the first duel fought in Ken
lucky for long time, The participants
were Thomas OVERLY, an advertising
agent who has been here only a few
months, and Charles Sanders, travel
ing man for an Evansville, Ind, cloth
be married to Miss Emma Zener, q
handsome young lady of Evansville,
who is now visiting in this city.
Upon coming here to see the young
lady Sanders discovered that OVERLY
had supplanted him in her affections. A
quarrel was followed by a fight in
which Sanders was worsted.
The men afterwards met at the Alex
ander hotel and resumed their difficulty
and finally decided to settle the affair ac-
cording to the code. OVERLY was repre-
sented by Frank Lattrall, young man
who lives in Indianapolis, while tray
cling man from Cincinnati named Harry
Thomas acted for Sanders.
Accompanied by a medical student
named James White, who acted as sur
geon, and a reporter of The Courier
journal, the party secured carriages and
drove to the suburbs. The principals
took their positions, armed with 32-cali-
bre Smith & Wesson reyolvers, twenty
PAGES apart.
1t was too dark to see the men plainly,
except at close distance, but they both
displayed great GOODNESS. The seconds
took their respective positions, after ar
ranging that the firing should begin
when three had been counted.
"One, two, three"
AS the last number was called by the
physician who did the counting a blaze
of fire flashed from the muzzles Of both
pistols. Before one could see whether
or not either man was wounded four
more reports rang out, and Sanders
staggered up to the tombstone near him
and supported himself by its cold sides.
DR.. White hastily examined him, and
found that one bullet had penetrated
his right breast near the top of the
shoulder, another had made a slight
flesh wound in his left arm.
He had fired two shots while OVERLY
had fired three. The mans wounds
were dressed as quickly as possible, anC
he was placed in his carriage and taker
to New Albany, Ind, where he tool
the first train for his home, in Evans
vile. The other participants in tht
affair have all left the city. Sanders
wounds are not considered fatal.
