The Coupon Idea.

"Anent the coupon discussion"
says an exchange, it may be interest
ing to state that the scheme was first
/ started by the London Times, some
years CO. by which persons killed or
injured and having in their possession
the last issue of the paper, were given
quite a large sum of money. The
Paris lie Petit Journal, the paper with
the largest circulation in the world
almost a million copies day-toOk
up the idea and materially increased
its circulation. In this country the
first paper to adopt the idea was
the Cincinnati Enquirer, which placed
an insurance coupon in each issue,
and large sums were paid out to per-
sons meeting with accidents and hav-
ing the last issue of the paper in their
possession. The coupon idet is now
used in various shapes by hundreds
of papers.
1.-THE New York World a paper
which is synonym for enterprise
and bright ideas, made them a par
ticulaaly interesting feature of the
journal. They are everywhere recOg-
niZed as legitimate means of increas-
ing the circulation"
For Their Benefit
The newspaper Of today to succeed
must be one to suit the appetite al
ways of the hour. The successful
publisher, therefore, is the one who
knows what the appetite Graves and
satisfies it. A newspaper is not always
W fG N q tn
be, but If he understands his bust
ness it is what the people want it to
be. When you are disposed therefore
to criticise newspaper, criticise rath-
er the public that makes it necessary.
Some condemn the publication of
that, but if those who criticise will
stop long enough toinquire why those
publications are made, the answer
will come back because the people
want them" Yet the live newspaper,
while satisfying the appetite of the
hour, keeps in advance of 1t, and is
continually leading the public to an
improved condition. These few ideas
are dropped for the benefit of those
persons who always know better how
to run newspaper than the publish
er himself.-Frank f, Holiday.
1t is worth remembering that no
newspaper is printed specially for one
person. People who become greatly
displeased with something they find |
in newspaper should remember that |
the very thing that displeases them
is exactly the same thing that will |
most please somebody that has just !
as much interest in the paper as they |
have. 1t takes all kinds of people to |
make a world, we are told, and the |
patrons of newspaper are made up |
of the elements of the world. A man !
may have dislike for tobacco, but he
is not foolish enough to complain of
his grOCeryman because he keeps it .

MANCHESTER, Nh, May l9.-Ludie
Danielson, aged twelve, and Alex An
derson, aged seventeen, were arrested
last night on complaint of the moth
er of Charles B. Howe, a delicate, ten
year-old lad, charging them with acts
rivaling those perpetrated by Jesse

took him in an clubhouse, stuck pins
into nearly every part of his anatomy,
poured boiling water upon him, burn
ed his face with powder, and, after
vainly endeavoring to push him into
the vault, left him, insensible, and he
was afterwards found unconscious.

To Control the Pacific Steamships.
New YORK, May 19.-The Times
says: The announcement made yes
terday of the big deal between C. P.
Huntington and Henry Willard, by
VIII CHI those two Wall street magnates
ain control OF the Pacific Mail Steam
sh p co npany, attracted much atten-
ton IN financial and railway circles,
On all sides it was agreed the new
alliance was sure to bring about most
important results. There were ru-
mors of conference during the day.
at which representatives OF Hunting
ton and Willard met Jay Gould or his
son George, to consider the PROPOSE
lions from the Gould quarter for mod
ificatiOn of the change of plans which
the new controllers Of the Pacific mail
property have in view, it was stated
on good authority, however, that the
original purpose Of the new combina-
ton would be carried out. Nobody
seems to know how largely Willard
is Interested in the new deal, beyond
the fact that he has gained
Endorsement of his scheme for bring
ing the Pacific mail steamers up to
Tacoma to connect with his Northern
Pacific railroad there. This is of con-
sequence great enough to marrant
heavy expenditures to obtain it. 1t is
limited that Huntington's South and
and Central American schemes are to
be helped materially by the
new deal. A line of steamers
will be put on soon to deveIope
the traffic in these southern direc-
tiOns. 1t is intimated too that present
subsidy from the transcontinental
railroads will have to be much in
creased or else be ended; here is
where Mr.. Henry Harris influence
will be felt Mr.. Hart has long con-
tended this subsidy was not equal
to the concessions allowed to the rail-
roads by the steamship company. c.
p. Huntington too, as big owner of
the Pacific mail stock, could, of
course, favor raise in proportion
paid by his roads, such transaction
amounting practically only to pass
ing of funds from one to another of |
his own pockets. Jay Gould and |
Russell Sage would not be so
happily situated, however. Rus
sell Sage is quoted as saying that |
big purchase has really |
been made almost wholly in Henry |
Wizards interest, to whom the estab-
lishment of a Pacific mail port at
Tacoma, signifies financial benefits
far beyond compensation.

Captain john Egan's Account of the
Fanny's Passengers.
In referring to the recent murder Of John
Ivett at MERGED, the statement was published
that he was one of the passengers who came
TO California in the steamer Fanny early in
the '50s.
Captain John Egan, of the firm of Egan
d Co., wholesale liquor-dealers, contradicts
the statement as far as the Fanny's arrival
here is concerned, for the vessel never came
to this port, being condemned at Rio de
Janeiro on the way to this port. If John
1vett was on the Fanny he was not known
as Ivett, it being the custom of the day to
only use nicknames for the passengers. and
they were only known to each other by
them. Captain Egan gave quite an interest
ing account Of the Fanny's effort to reach
