NEWSPAPRR ADVERTISING,

Richard Mansfield has given instruc-
tions to his.business manager to dlscon-
tinue the use of Autographs and printing
of all kinds for use in windows and on
dead walls, and to cOnfine all advertising
exclusively to the columns of newspapers.
Herein Mr.. Mansfield acts well his part.
The busy, bustling American citizen no
longer stops on the curb to read signs of
any kind or the bill board This is es-
sentially newspaper reading age. We
look in our public journals for news of
the the theater, and nowhere else. The
development of the art of newspaper il
lustration no longer makes the actor a
slave to the shop window in order to
display the beautiful lineaments of his
face and figure to the public eye. That
can all be done now in the newspaper.
Occasionally the actor will find journal
that will not, under any pretense or for
any profit, admit picture to its adver-
Using columns, but there will be weak
place in its ethical armor which will
allow it to place the biggest picture it
can find on its reading pages-sOmetimes
on its editorial page. If the question of
reciprocity is to be considered, the adj
vertising columns of the newspaper is
the place for the theatrical announce
ment. No bill board ever made an actor.
The newspapers are creating them all the
time. Indeed, newspapers may point
with pride to Mr.. Richard Mansfield him
self as one of the finest types of their
creation.-NeU York Advertiser.
The minds of those whose business re-
quires them to obtain the public atten-
ton are settling upon the conclusion
that the surest channel of accomplishing
that purpose is the newspaper. Costly
Autographs don't pay. The newspaper
is a constant, unObtrusive and certain
medium of communication. The con-
clusion which Mr.. Mansfield has reached
is shared by the greatest and most sue
cessful railroad corporations, which are
increasing their advertising space in the
newspapers.

He DIDN'T GIVE AWAY SAMPLES.

The officious counter jumper is an UNI
mitigated nuisance, but he fiOurishes
and multiplies nevertheless. And OF all
seasons of the year he is most numerous
about the holidays. He so rarely gets
his Just deserts that it is a pleasure to
record one instance where he did get 1t.
To accommodate the holiday rush State
street firm put in large force OF extras
few days ago. Yesterday the pro-
prietor while discussing the quality OF
piece of goods with the agent of New
York house remarked that the easiest
way to prove his point would be to get a
sample of the cloth in question. Excus-
ing himself he walked down to counter
presided over by one of the new hands
and asked to be shown a certain kind of
goods. "There, that's it'll" exclaimed
the proprietor; "let me have small
sample of it, if you please, right away"
1--WE don't do that kind OF business
here" rudely replied the altitudinous
young man.
"What kind of business don't you
do ?" calmly asked the unknown en-
ployer.
1--WE don't give away any samples of
our goods"
"Oh, don't your That's too bad. Per
haps, then, you wouldn't mind giving
me a sample of your hair, for remem
brance, before l kick you into the street
If you don't want to do that, go down to
the cashiers desk, give him this card
and ask him for a sample of your salary.

GEESE OR GOOSEs I?

Mr.. DevendOrf, the artistic Washing
ton tailor, is at the Coleman House to
look after some importations. He is
former New Yorker, and is well known
to the older set who take an interest In
sports. In the times when it was pOpu-
lar for young people to learn to play on
stringed instruments Devendorf took up
the harp and became performer of re-
markable merit. He now probably has
the finest harp in the country, but the
big shears have made his fingers little
too stiff to make music now. A funny
story is told of him. He came out OF
the war with a captains commission and
learned fancy cutting. The tailor's flat
iron is called "goose," as most people
know. He had to have an outfit and
wrote to the dealer:
''Please send me three tailor's geese
by return express"
That seemed wrong. Three of the
irons would not be called geese" as a
matter of course, so the order was torn
up. Then he essayed again:
''Please send me three tailOr's gOoses
by earliest express"
That again looked odd. "Gooses"
seemed to be word belonging exclu-
siyely to childhood. So this one was
also discarded. Then he had happy
thought. He wrote:
'Please send me tailOr's goose by re-
turn express. p. S.-And while you are
about it, Just send two more"
That is said to be the only issue he
ever lodged. 1t was grammatical
poser which no tailor can settle.-New
York Recorder.

RoCKLAND, Me-, Aug. 9.-An interview
with 4 prominent stone cutter and men,
ber Of the Stone Cutters National Union
indicates that the cutters on strike in
this vicinity are becoming restless. Tho
promised financial assistance, to which
the men are entitled, has not been forth
coming, only two weeks aid having been
furnished, and that last May. Since then
numerous letters from union working
men, sent from Hurricane Island and
elsewhere, mp to the first of last week,
have failed to secure funds from Secre-
tary Dyer at Concord, and many men,
especially those with families, are In
need Of funds.
Unless aid comes at once tho bottom
must drop out of the strike hereabouts at

asked the members of the local unions
here to accept the notes Of the National
Union. Where union men are at work
they are being assessed three dollars per
week in addition to their dues to support
the strike and the men hereabouts COM
plain that none of this money comes

Another serious assault, and one that
will very probably result In the death Of
the victim, occurred last night on Eddy
street near Weybosset street.
Two or three young men, partially in
toxicated, we're coming along Eddy street
at about IL o'clock last evening The
crowd showed the effects OF the drink by
endeavoring to pick quarrel with the
different people on the street.
When near Pine street the three met q
man who claimed to be John Tracy, who
was also quite drunk. They stopped him
and made insulting remarks which
aroused Tracy's anger. He drew jack
knife and made step toward one OF the
party. William Burke, who 1t Is said,
made the first demonstration.
just at this point another one OF the
party, "A young man named Peter kee-
nan, stepped between Tracy and Burke,
and attempted TO separate them, but was
just in time to receive cut aimed by
Tracy at Burke.
The knife-blade struck him in the alb
in depth aud the width OF the knife
blade. Burke was prostrated by the
shock and became insensible. He was
taken into Lonergan's drug store, on
Weybosset street, and DIR. Kenyon was
notified. Later the man was taken to

His injury is of such q serious nature
as to render his recovery doubtful.
Lieut.. O'Neil of the Central Station

Pointer placed Tracy under arrest. He
was locked up In the station and this
morning was arraigned in the Sixth Dis

held in g, 600 surety for trial Tuesday.
The victim OF the assault, Peter keenan,,

murder began this forenoon.
Never has an inquest created more ex-
element 1t was given out mt an early
hour this morning that the inquest would
be held to-day and that the Second Dis

The place was fairly besieged.
Officers, however, held the crowd in

vened the room was filled with reporters.
Judge Blaisdell presided. Others pres
ent were District Attorney Knowlton,
Marshall Hilliard, Detective Learoy and
the court stenograpber.
Bridget Sullivan was the first witness
examined. The girl bore up well under
the trying ordeal.
She was minutely and carefully exam
ined as to her whereabouts on the fatal
Thursday, and when she last saw Mr..
Borden. To all the questions she gave
straightforward replies.
At times she seemed overcome with
emotion, but after u short delay was able
to proceed.
None of the other members OF the
Borden household were pres .nt.
1t is the intention of the authorities to
call them in singly for examination.

DETECTIVE HANSCOM
Denied Access to the Borden Girls,

ESPECIAL TO rHE NEWS. !

FALL RIVER, Aug. 90. NJ. Hanscom,
assistant superintendent of the New Eng
land agency of the Pinkertons, spent the
afternoon at the Borden house with Lizzie
and Emma Borden. Last night he was
refused admittance to the house, but the
order was revoked this morning.
Chief Hilliard said, II do not believe
there is any reason why Mr.. Hanscom,
fainily's employ, should have access to the
Borden house any more than than the re-
porters. The reporters are working as
hard To get at the bottom OF this case as
he is, no class Of unofficial Investigators
should be Disseminated against"
What reasons had the Borden girls to
engage detectivesS / believe that the
course pursued has been taken to pro-
tect the living. In the performance of
my duty l do not forget that there is
something due to the dead. Our purpose
is to bring the murderer of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Borden to justice.
The police say they believe that Mr..
Hanscom's efforts will retard their work.
While it Is doubtful il the police fear tn s
yet it is significant fact that as fast us
the police suggest suspicious circum-
stances which might connect Lizzie Bor-
den, just SO far are these circumstances
answered by Mr.. Hanscom.
Since Mr.. Hanscom has seen and talked
with Lizzie Borden her story has changed
materially. For instance, as she first
told 1t, she said that she was in the barn
not more than twenty minutes. Mr.
Hapscom now fixes it at half an hour.
But Mr.. Hanscom adds that she was so
weak and rambling in her talk that he
could not ask her about such points as
why she did not notice her dead step
mother rs she passed the door of the
room in which Mrs Borden lay dead II
Lizzie Borden Is so weak and so ram bling
that she cannot answer questions like
that, how Is 1t, ask the police. that she
