The "Ad" Was Read.

Through typographical error Heav-
enrich & Co., the shoe dealers, have been
brought to acknowledge that their ad-
vertisemeut in The Journal must be
pretty generally read. On Wednesday
they advertised in The Journal that
they would sell on Thursday any pair of
s. shoes in the store for $3.50, provided
the purchaser brought a copy of the
advertisement to the store. In lifting
the forms to the press the figure 8
dropped out of the $3.50, leaving it so
cents for the S. shoes. The accident
was not noticed until the entire edition
had been sent out. Now comes the fun.
Heavenrich & Co. are firm that do ex-
actly as they agree, and the result was
necessarily embarrassing.
A reporter of The Journal entered the
store at 2:30 yesterday and found it
crowded with people from the west side
and South Saginaw, each with the little
coupons cut from The Journal, while
the ever genial Manager FURRY with
double handful of coupons and flush
on his handsome countenance was en-
uedNOllAS W CApAetiA thO ulAoedhO duV
showing the figures quoted in other pa
pers. There's the man that's RESPONSE
BILE for all this" he said as he spied The
Journal man; she can explain how it
happened" It was soon made clear to
the people in the store how it happened,
and then they saw that discount of
$3.50 on S. was the biggest thing they
had struck and they began buying, and
each one when they left had u pair Of
regular S. shoes that cost them only
$3.50. Mr.. FURRY has not yet said
whether he would bring action against
The Journal for damage to his nerves or
not, but he is convinced that people
read advertisements in The Journal.
The fact is The Journal circulates large
ly among a class who study its advertis-
ing columns from motives of economy,
and save by so doing many dollars every
year.-Saginaw (Mich.) Journal.

THE Jury in the Archer case Friday
night returned a verdict against the
bondsmen of the late Treasurer of
the State for 100000. This action WAS
the result of Il compromise. as eight
of the jurors were in favor of giving
the State 500. 900, while the remaining
four contenled that S45. 900 was all
to which the commonwealth was
entitled. The amount recovered Is
unsatisfactory to Attorney General
Whyte. and he has asked for new
trial. The testimony in the case
clearly showed that Archer had EN-
bezzled over $50 900 of the m0n"y
and securities of the State Of Mary
land during the period for when the
defendants were security and the
jury either did an injustice TO the
state of Maryland in rendering a
verdict for II less sum or they did II
gross injustice TO the b)ndsmen when
they gave anything at all. The com.
promise Is IL farce and those members
of the jury who consented to it
deserve,lly lower themselves in the
estimation of their fellow-rilizens.

WHAT interest have American
farmers in building uD steamship
lines? One reason is this: England,
on account of her superior tTansp0r.
tation facilities. can buy our wheat,
ship it across the ocean, grind i. in
to -four and then supply South Amer
lea and other markets. which ought
TO be supplied direct from American
farms. The December Milestone sue.
cinctly puts the case thus:
THE total import of wheat and
-four into tie United Kingd I'm for
1890 equals 53S.Sl5.O07 bushels, in
Guiding flour AS wheat fye bushels TO
the barrel. The importation for food
is about 144.000.000 annually Ito
which should be added 10000, QUO
Homegrown. Til, would leave
394 900 900 as the quantity exported.
and it is needless to add that this
enormous quality is nearly all of il
exported as -four, which would
amount to rs, 500, 900 barrels. of which
we supply about iO.OOO.0OO barrels as
-four and about twenty millions ~
wheat, total of about thirty.eigh
per cent. of the British export. AS
twO-thirds Of this is as wheat, Amer.
lea loses whatever profit the miller
might receive in grinding the hum
bred million bushels and exporting
it abroad. Besides, there is the loss
or the profit on both the -four and
wheat that at present goes To Great
Britain. Further, through the com.
merce of Great Britain should we at.
tempt to make salFs to first hands,
the American exporter finds his pro.
ducts confronted by American -four
that the British buy of us and sell To
the world cheaper than we can sell
direct.
Such a condition is not pleasant, :"
the Milestone adds, "but 1t will remain
substantially unchanged until we can
build up shipping and banking farll.
tiles measureably equal to those pos
sessed by England. In fact. until we
can possess frst.class steamer lines.
running regularly to various ports
where our goods would likely find q
market. we must content ourselves
with selling to our sole custom, with
the additional chagrin of seeing that
one slowly slipping from our hands,
as she is gradually supplying her
wants from other countries that rival
US in wheat production. One thing
is certain. Those who are trying to
place American steamer lines on the
ocean are not working in the inter.
ests of Great Britaln,-American

Value of Newspaper Advertising.

Few people realize the great value Of
newspaper advertising. On Friday Of
last week party residing in Port Jervis
lost valuable piece of jewelry. On
Saturday he advertised the loss in The
Union and Gazette, and ON the follow
ing day Sunday the lost property,
which had in the mean time been found,
was restored to the owner. This is only
one of numerous instances which are of
constant occurrence where lost articles
are restored through the medium of
newspaper advertising. A single inser-
ton is generally sufficient to accomplish
the purpose. The incident above men
toned also proves that honesty is not as
uncommon virtue as some people sup
pose.-Port Jervis Union.
