What u Business Man Says of "The Her
aid" as an Advertising Medium.
To the Editor of The Sunday Herald:
Speaking of good advertising mediums,
regard TEE SUNDAY HERALD second to none
in the city. do not hesitate in saying 1 am
more than convinced that any one using your
columns to bring their business before the
people will get abundant RETURNS as have
done. 1t has been my experience that the re-
suits obtained from an advertisement in THE
HERALD were greater and more prompt than
from advertisements In any other paper This,
have no doubt, is due to the fact that people
have more time to read their paper on Sunday
than on other days of the week, and thus the
advertisements receive an amount Of atten-
ton which they never obtain in other papers.
The paper published exclusively on Sunday is
like friend we meet on rare occasions We
give him mora attention than to friends we
meet every day or twice or three times day;
we listen to all he has to say, and it fixes
itself in our memory more firmly than the re-
marks of those we run across In the hurry of
weekday existence. THE HERALD / regard
as the best advertising medium In Washington.
and wish 1t all success.

Successful Firm Attributes Much of
Its Prosperity to "The Herald".
Messrs. So,tle & Hensey:
GENTLEMEN: We have few words to saw
rs to the value Of THE HERALD as an adver-
tising medium. When we began our boot and
shoe business, in the Atlantic Building, on
September 20, 1888, one of the first things we
did was to insert an advertisement in THE
HERALD. Almost Immediately we began to
find that many Of the patrons who came to us
were induced to do so by reading this adver-
ment. Our business has steadily increased,
and we have the best of reasons to believe
that this highly desirable result has been in
large degree directly due to the same cause.
Naturally we continued to use THE HERALD's
columns in the effort to still further extend
our trade and the results have abundantly
justified our course, as is shown by the fact
that recently we have taken both the stores in
the Atlantic Building in order to more fully
accommodate our patrons. We regard The
HERALD as the best medium through which
to reach the most desirable class of trade in
Washington, and hope to continue to use its
columns in the future with everincreasing
benefit. HAvRNNER IL DAVIS

No Blame Attached TO the Attendants.
The recent.cases OF drowning atthe new bath
ing beach were investigated yesterday by Assist
ant Coroner Schaeffer, the cause assigned for
the investigation being the large number of
complaints made about the lack of safe guards
and the dangerous condition of the water. A
jury composed of Everett Wroe, Patrick Gu
sick, James Gregg, w. H. Sleeper, Alexander
Q. Lambert, and George Russell was sum-
moned and they heard the testimony of the
various attendants and others. After duly
weighing the evidence the jury rendered a
verdict that the deaths were accidental and
no blame could be attached to the attendants,
but recommended the placing of life-boat
and three policemen at the beach.

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.

MT. Draney's Bondsmen Claim They Are
Not Responsible.
1t was believed last week that the contro.
versy over the garbage question had been
settled, and that the difficulty had,been solved
IN such away that the health of the District
would be properly cared for. This condition
OF affairs was turned topsy turvey on We'd
nesday by Contractor Draney signifying his
disgust with the whole business and declaring
that he would have nothing further to do with
the collection of the garbage. The Commits
sioners and the Health Office were not long
IN taking action, and notice was sent to
MI. Draney's sureties, Messrs Philip
Christman and @. w. Hugely, inform
ing them that the District govern
ment would have the garbage collected
and that they would be held responsible for
for expenditure entuiled. Twenty ad-
ditional wagons were put on Yesterday
making forty In the service. They worked
all day and great deal of territory was Gov
cred. All the garbage, however could not be
collected, and an effort will be made to
have the wagons in service to-day
although 1t is Sunday as the sanitary condi-
ton OF the city is considered of first import
ance. II this is done it is expected that every
thing Will be in good order by tomorrow
Messrs Christman and Hugely, the bonds
men Tor Mr.. Draney, addressed a letter to the
Commissioners yesterday in which they
aenled tnat they were under any obligations
to the District. They claimed that Mr.
Draney did not violate his contract until the
commissioners made unjust demand in oppo-
sltlon TO the terms of the contract. They
therefore refused to continue the unexpired
contract.

value as an advertising medium. We watch
carefully the returns from our investments In

result of this we have come 80 the conclusion
that the advertisements we insert in THE

using the columns OF The HERALD for twenty

The general opinion of the American peo-
pie will be that the vessels of the White
Squadron should get over their holiday and
be put to profitable use in sustaining the au-
thority of the Government whenever its in
fuence may be called in question. A very
practical purpose may be served by sending
the vessels which Admiral Walker commands
TO Central America and the Sandwich ISL

are pending which may at any moment be-
