OBTAINING PUBLICITY

Some little time ago it was the fash
ion and the fad which swept from one
end of the country to the other, until
it became so conspicuous as to be
laughable and therefore of no use to
print in papers, what looked like a
story, the tales invariably winding up
with puff, adroitly put, sometimes
put bluntly and with most interesting
dropping into Old-fashioned adyertis-
ing methods of patent medicine, a
new style Of wringer, some safe kidney
cure, everything and anything in fact,
that men had for sale and men and
women wanted to buy. We have all
seen them and been fooled many
times. What appear ed to be a story
or an interesting record, on its face,
had concealed in it near its close
marvellous cure or an earnest invOca-
ton to try the merits of DR.. Squills'
OpOdeldoc. And so by these and
similar methods people have succeeded
most admirably in obtaining gratuit-
Gus advertising for their wares.
That notoriety, in the minds of
great majority Of the theatrical pro-
fession, is Synonymous with fame, and
at all events means profitable adver-
Using, is tolerably evident. From Ed
win Booth, down or up, as you may
please to view it, those who can afford
il keep advertising agents whose sole
duty it is to coin ridiculous nonsense
about them, invent incidents concern
ing their daily ongoings, tell fabulous
stories about their incomes, and gen.
orally fool the public about them and
their affairs.
A recent case is that of a somewhat
mature young woman, who having APP
proximated failure in this country
found, through the cunning of her
hustling husband, great nOtOriety in a
series of stories which told Of his as
sault upon her with carving knife, Of
her flight in her night gown, of her
refusal to ever meet him again, of
their coming together again, Of her
flight to Europe, of his constant pur-
suit and, finally, after an immensely
of expensive cabling from London to
the New York papers, of their recon-
citation and festive appearance in
'the row. in London. Well, what of
it after all? This: The shrewd and
successful advertiser is one who puts
into attractive guise undeniable asser,
tions, while the dime museum mar
who advertises horse with seven leg
and can produce for the bucolic eye t
gaze upon, nothing better than an or
binary jackass, will never succeed.

THE SPEAKERSHIP OF THE
FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS

1t seems to be a generally accepted
fact among the Democratic brethren
that the speaker of the Fifty-Second
Congress will hail either from Texas,
Georgia or Illinois. Such, at least, APP
pears to be the condition of the con-
test at the present time, and it does
not appear likely to change until the
Democratic caucus finally names the
man
OF the three candidates, Roger O..
Mills, OF Texas, is probably better
known throughout the country than
either Of his competitors, because of
his remarkable fecundity in producing
tariff bills designed to revolutionize
the present tariff system and deal a
death blow to protection to American
industries.
Like many great men Mr.. Mills is
two sided. He can be the pleasantest
and most delightful of companions, or
an ugly and ferocious enemy. His
friends think he is without a peer,
while his enemies know him to be
worth watching. On the floor of the
house, it is said, Mills pays no atten-
tion TO the "small fry" Of any party,
but a worthy antagonist call the gilt
ter to his eye, and he evinces an eager
ness for the fray that means a royal
combat. His remarks are poured
forth like a torrent, and as he is GER
tainly possessed of a fund OF informa-
ton he makes speeches which are not
only exhaustive but exhausting. His
pet hobby for years has been the tariff,
he has pursued it with an unbending
energy and intentness that have de-
veloped impotence and Feasibility,
and IL he should be showed into the
speakers chair no one can doubt
that these two qualities would find
plenty OF food TO nOurish and still fur
ther develop them.
William NJ. Springer, Illinois candi-
date, has had plenty Of hard fights in
the house. He is a harder worker
than either OF his competitors, Mills
or Crisp. He is a good pirliamentar-
ian, and on numerous occasions has
handled the Democratic hosts with
adroltness and celebrity. Springer
relies on Northern and Western votes
for his principal support, but claims
to have quite following in the South.
Charles #. Crisp, of Georgia, was
born in England, but came to this
country at an early age and entered
the profession of the law. After hav-
ing served his state for a number OF
years in judicial capacity, he was
elected TO congress, and soon took
front rank with the strong men OF his
party. He is a man Of great good
nature, but when occasion requires,
he can be hard-hitter. He turned
the tables on Speaker Reed in the
last house, when, during a debate, he
objected to the speakers ruling. He
submitted, however, gracefully, say
ing: 81 approach the speaker with
the same feelings that Hindoo draws
near to his idol know that thou art
ugly. but | feel that thou art great"
Sneaker Reed was not OF the kind to
be inundated, as Democrats found,
hut nevertheless this shot brought
down the house. Crisp is an eloquent
sneaker. and one of his admirers
claims that "his manners are as fault

THE IDIOTS OF SOCIETY

The idiots of society are not all
found among the blue-blOoded scions
of a foreign aristOcracy, as a few
imagine. They are not all the effete
offsprings Of society, fOstered by a
long system of monarchial institu-
tiOns, which are pre-eminently adapted
to the breeding of privileged classes.
These are often honest, quiet, unas-
Stunning, courteous, thoughtful, con-
siderate. Neither are they all found
among the English "chappies," or
their prototypes, the anglo-maniacs.
These, mayhap, have their use, and
from them some valuable lessons on
the descent OF man can be obtained
| The tendency to actthe idiot in socie-
ty is found in these United States, and
it is chiefly confined to the newly-made
rich, who must reside in Paris, or
London, or Florence, or at some place
"on the continent" An account of
their doings often brings a blush of
shame to a true American cheek.
Many Of them are blatant, Obtrusiye,
annoying. When John l.. Sullivan
makes his pile, if he ever does, he will,
no doubt, be greeted with effusiveness,
precisely as other men who are sought,
simply and solely because Of their pos
sessions.
Fame and notoriety do not always
open the door.
What these want is the glittering
sheen, the golden calf, that they may
fall down and worship it.
And the tendency is growing rapidly,
and where the end will be, who can
tell?

Queen vIctoria's Wealth.

An act was recently passed enabling
the queen to make will, as she was not
before this supposed to be the possessor
of any property, and the impression pre-
walls that she has effected large sayings
This in not the case. Although she has
for years lived in retirement her expen-
diture has not materially decreased, for
the glittering scene Of royal pageantry is
still kept up. She has expended consid-
erable sums upon the purchase Of the
estates Of Osborne and Balmorsl, and
their maintenance falls on her. She has,
too, made considerable monetary pres
ents to Der daughters on their marriages,
50 that although she inherited 10000
from silly person who left her this
amount, her private fortune is compara-
lively small.
Two years ago Lord salisbury's govern
ment submitted to parliament proposal
to endov her grandchildren. A COM

pointed to consider this demand, when it
was decided that provision ought only to

Wales. The committee was informed,
under a pledge of secrecy, Of the total

Odd Methods of an Evangelist.

The death of Miller Willis, the Georgia
evangelist, revives many interesting sto-
ries concerning his life and methods.
He was certainly the queerest character
that ever preached the Gospel at camp
meeting, at which places he was gener-
ally found. His pure and holy life, how
ever, was a model for all. But about his
methods; He frequently stopped strang-
ers on the streets, and planting himself
in front Of them would announce some
startling text and then disappear, leaving
the man or woman TO preach the sermon
TO his or her liking.
For instance, he on one occasion stop
ped stranger and shouted in his ears,
This night thy soul shall be required Of
theel" Willis vanished. But a year
afterward he met the man in another
city. Willis had forgotten him, but the
stranger knew his msn. Approaching
him he extended his hand and said
THAT text you shouted out 50 strangely
TO me on the streets Of Milledgeville set
me TO thinking. 1t was the means ofmy
convention.
On another occasion, dark, rainy
night in winter, he passed crowded ho-
tel in Charleston. Men were lounging
and smoking in the lobby. Willis open
ed the door, but the little figure in drip
ping garments attracted no attention.
Suddenly after rspping loud on the floor
with his heavy stick, every eye was
turned toward him, when Willis said,
There won't be a man in this house alive
in fifty years from tonight p And he
slammed the door and went out into the
night.
Sometime after he was approached by
q young man on street car, who intro
duced himself by saying: Il have long
desired to meet you and TO thank you
for saying what you did in the hotel
