Advertise Your Building Association.

This is title of an article in Printers Ink
of Feb. by John Cook, manager of the Per-
petual Building Association, at Washington,
D. C. The idea is a new one here, but there
| is no reason why advertising should not pay
in this direction as in others. Mr.. Cook
says;
| No building association can attain to its
| full vigor, prosperity or usefulness without
| liberal and iudicious advertising. An assoc
| citation may drag along in langushing, pre-
carious and feeble condition for a number of
| years without letting the public know OF its
existence, and ultimately drop out of sight
for want of proper appreciation by its pro-
| iectors and managers of the virtue of pub
| licity.
| Mr.. Cook advises letting the public know
exactly what the association is doing, and
says that Gas the institution grows you will
find numbers anxious and willing to come in
and form part of great and prosperous
moneyed concern" He concludes as fol-
lows:
We started by advertising: we have grown
by constantly advertising ourselves, keeping
| the whole community in mind OF us and let
| ting the public know all about our business.
We have prospered by it, having grown from
nothing t" assets of nearly million in
| eleven years and still mounting.
Here is our business for one month, and
that the midsummer month of July, i'll a
! Presidential year:
Receipts from all sources, $4,000: loans
| during the month, S6O,6OO; money paid back
| to members on matured or surrendered
shares, $50, 500: interest paid on those shares
$4,000: expenses for the whole month, SAIL.
| All this business acquired, and steadily in
creasing, by judicious advertising. So we
say, if you are managing a building associa-
ton, by all means advertise it: let every
body know about ii and You will have your
| reward

HIS UNNATURAL LOVE
For His Friend Causes Him to Commit

rOr HIS FRIEND causes Him TO commit
Suicide in His Presence.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-Dr. Charles T.
Breedlove, of Baltimore, committed sui
eide in his room at Hurst's hotel at
o'clock Tuesday morning by firing a
bullet from a 32-caliber revolver into
his brain. In the same room, and not
ten feet from DIR. Breedlove, stood
Isaac Judson, teacher in the high school
of st. Louis, the man for whose love he
committed the terrible deed.
Breedlove reached this city last Mon
day and was to leave Tuesday in com
pany with Mr.. Judson, but missed the
train. Judson returned to Breedlove's
room and found letter lying on the
dressing table addressed to himself. He
was in the act of reading it when he was
startled by the report of a revolver and,
looking up saw Breedlove falling to the
floor with the smoking revolver clutched
in his right hand. He died almost in
stantly.
The letter, which was addressed to
Judson, reveals peculiar case of un-
natural love between men. 1t is endear-
ing in tone and suggestive in character,
and refers to sinful actions on the part
of the suicid and Judson. He speaks
of his love as being beyond his control,
and says he finds it impossible to live
without Judson, and rather than be
separated from him he ends his life.
Breedlove was a practicing physician u
in Baltimore and his parents live at Fort
Smith, Ark. At the instance of friend +
the body was removed from the morgue
and will be shipped to Fort Smith for
burial. A locket suspended from the
suicides neck contained picture of Mr..
hudson.

To Be Further Oppressed by the Govern

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 24.-Strong
complaints continue to be made of the
action of the administrative authorities
in dealing with the famine. 1t is assert
ed that at several places the committees
charged with the distribution of food
take advantage of the utterly helpless
condition of the peasants to compel
them to give way in matters concerning
which they have formerly been in COL
fict with tho authorities. With this
object, the @oor people are refused al
help until promise has been obtair ID
from them that they will pay in future
the money for the land purchases in r.
gard to which they denied their liabili-
ty, and derived of all resources, the
peasants see no other course open to
them than TO undertake to make these
payments, i'll order to secure share in
the corn ant -four distributed by the re-
lief committees.
The Westnik Evropy, one of the lead
ing Russian reviews, denounces in in
dignant terms this abuse of authority,
and mentions that, among other places,
it has been practiced in a village where
the prevailing distress is aggravated by
the fact thai the inhabitants have not
yet been able to repair the damage
caused by a confagration last year,
when most OF the cottages, stables
graneries in the place were destroyed,
The same review points out that, owing
to their ignorance of the existing state
of their inertness, dilatoriness and bad
management in connection with the
supply of food to the falnine-stricken
provinces, the authorize have caused
enormous losses to the public treasury

Favorably Reported in the House-Pro
visions of the Bill,

visions of the Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The house
committee on the judiciary Monday Or
dered favorable report on Mr.. Oates
bill amending the naturaliza lion laws.
The bill, as reported, provides that no
alien who has ever been convicted of a
felony, or other infamous crime or mis-
demeanor involving moral turpitude, or
who is an anarchist or polygamist, or
who immigrated to the United States in
violation of any laws of our country or
who can not read the constitution of the
United States, shall be naturalized. Five
years continuous residence in the United
States and one in the state in which the
application is made are made necessary
to naturalization. The bill provides a
form and petition for naturalization, and
applicants are required to prove that the
statements made in the petition are true.
The petition is to be passed upon by
court, and before granting it the court
is to be satisfied that all the allegations
of the petition are proven, and that the
petitioner is of good, moral character,
and fit person for naturalization. The
district and circuit courts of the United
States, the district courts of territories
and the state courts of the highest
original common law jurisdiction,
whether called supreme, circuit, dis
trict or courts of common pleas, are
given the right of naturalization. The
present law concerning the declaration
of intention is abolished, except as to
those persons not here five years, who
may desire to take up an entry on the
public lands.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 24.-Revenue
Officers G. G. Spears and j. A. Nave, of
this place, have returned from a raid
into the mountains of Blount county,
where they had thrilling experience.
After having been lost in the forest for
nearly three days, without food or
drink, they found two illicit distilleries
in full running order. The five opera
tors-Jim Hughes, Sam Burchfeld,
Zeke Burchteld and his two sons, all
notorious moonshiners-were captured
and brought to Knoxville for trial.
Officer Spears has had a number of
thrilling experiences with the moon
sinners during the past few weeks, and
is rapidly augmenting the enmity
against him. The manufacture of
illicit liquor in this section of the south
has been quite general of late.
