Advertising is so peculiarly essential to success in mercantile, to say Dothing of other enterprises, that we cannot re- frain- from quoting the following lan- guage from the obituary notice, in the Bridgeport Republican Standard, of that prominent merchant and most estimable gentleman, the late William B. Hall of Bridgeport:
 He understood the value of judicious and unremitting advertising and spared no pains in keeping his name before the appreciative public. His establishment had become as widely known in conse- quence as many metropolitan concern of larger size. His method in this re- spect were in advance of others in this locality but they succeeded in securing an ample return for his outlay, and he may be considered the pioneer in the modern style of doing business which consists in anticipation of the manifold wants of the public and Tn keeping them constantly informed of the fact that he had provided for them.

The Assault Was Deliberate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-The investiga- .ion into the assault upon the sailors of the cruiser Baltimore, at Valparaiso, was re- sumed at Vallejo. Charles Langer, a sea- man, testified that he was in the Inter national hotel with Johnson, who yesterday gave evidence directly duplicating the Chilian men-of warsmen, police and sol diers in the killing of Boatswain's Mate Riggin. Langer's testimony was even stronger than Johnson's. According to Langer, when Riggin rose the first time two policemen came up. They drew short swords and knocked him down again. They then stood back and let the crowd beat him.
 Afterward squad of soldiers approached and marched by twos under command of a mounted officer. They marched to within six feet from where Johnson was holding Riggin in his arms. There they halted, and the first two soldiers leveled their rifles and fired at the two American sailors.
 II was about fifteen feet off to one side" :" said Langer ''No one was between me and them, the crowd being back of the soldiers at that moment. No other shots were fired by any one. I saw the soldiers distinctly level their rifles at the Baltimore's men and fire. The crowd had drawn back when the soldiers came up, leaving a clear passage be- tween RiSgin and the soldiers. After the first shot was fired the soldiers pressed for ward little and I could not see the second man who fired, but I am sure it was one of the leading soldiers who fired.n The exam ination was then adjourned.
