A WASTE OF ADVERTISING,
Some Useful Hints Conveyed in the Art OF
Making Money.

Some Useful Hints Conveyed in the Art Of
Making Money.
Printers Ink.1 60.
Advertising in regular newspapers Sits
out the impossible customer from the posi-
BILE; it allows the advertiser to rake the
ground with his own rake and to gather in
the people with whom he can hope to do
business, no more and no less; it reduces
the field OF the town into the field of his
business; it places the advertiser in direct
connection with the people he has chance of
reaching.
The newspaper advertisements should do
no more than suggest a call or correspond
ence. If the possible customer calls or
writes, opportunity is given the advertiser,
not only to show the goods, but to furnish
the inquirer with descriptive matter, which
he is sure to read at leisure and study care
fully, because he has put himself on record
as being interested in the goods advertised.
Advertising in periodicals does the pre-
liminary work, at the lowest possible ex-
pense. which work cannot be done in any
other way for a hundred times the cost.
The advertiser who believes in handbills
has only to stand upon the sidewalk when
poys are passing tnem out, 10 De forever
convinced that this kind of advertising is
worth as near to next to nothing as it can be
without being nothing.
Let us bring flyer matter to practical
business figures: $1,000 cheaply printed cir
culars cost $15. A boy to give them out,
either from house to house or to pedestrians,
will charge, say 50. If he leaves only one
at a house and gives only one at time on the
street, he will not make much on The job at
81. Boy circular distributors are not built
that way. We must take them as they are
In order to argue from the worst side of the
argument We will call it SIT for the circu-
lars and the distribution. If the boy is
like other boys, and he probably
is, he will attempt to give ten circulars to
every one who passes, or one and throw
away nine: 1000 circulars to 100 people;
10000 to 1000 people.

The Wizard Points Out q Few Things About
Champion Ives.
CHICAGO, July 29.-[SpeciaL] ]-Jake Schaefer
has written to his partner in this city C. j.
E. Parker,a an account of the difficulty which
has arisen in Paris regarding the contest for
the championship at the balk-line game. In
the letter Schaefer says:
"The match between myself ana Ives has
fallen through. He would not do anything
in reason. He wanted the match to be
played in the Folies Bergere. which is one of
the cheapest theaters in Paris. WANTED to
play at the circus (Nouveau Cirque), which
is the finest place in the world to play a
billiard match. All you have to do is to set
up the table bnd play. The managers of the
place guaranteed $4,000 to the, winner and
half the receipts ter the expenses were
osition. I was willing to play at the Folies
Bergere providing the management of
that place would give similar amount, but
they would not guarantee a cent. Mr.. Ben
singer came here. and finally the whole
thing came down to the point where he had
to decide. He named the Grand Hotel, but
Ives refused to play there, and that settled
it. expect to arrange q match with Wig
naux. have played him six games, and
won four out OF the series. 1 have beaten
GARNER every game have played him. I
gave Plot odds of 25 per cent, and he has won
four out of six games we have played.
Carter is doing well. He has an interest in a
room here, and don't think lie will return
to America. expect to remain in Paris
about month longer"
Lew Shaw, the finger billiardist and fancy
shot player, lett this city for New York last
night. He is about to join the American
billiard colony at Paris, where he believes,
his exhibitions will prove an attraction.

manifesting great interest in the races at

to be the best ever held here. The race
track is being repaired at considera BILE cost

at present 43 horses entered for the

An Outsiders Opinion.

Rem Mulford has the following to say
about the work OF Captain Burns: "The
kaleidoscope has been turned again at Pitts
burg, and Captain Tom:Burns isn't quite the
mogul he was some days ago. The cares of
management are now equally shared by AL
Buckenberger. Captain Toms success,
measured by the number of games won, has
not been calculated to take the minds of
Pittsburs's cranks Off Homestead. There
are more crap 1ends among the Smoked
Italians than any team in the land, and they
have been showing more skill shaking the
ivories than they have corraling grounders.
The support given Adonis Terry at Brook
lvn on Tuesday was a frightiul example OF
the looseness that has cost many game.
Manager AL has been instructed to close all
the crap games. Calliope Miller, brilliant
player that he is, could terroriZe Rat Row
and Little Bucktown If he ever took the
bones and started out on a box shaking ex-
pedition."

John L. SulIivan's Prospective 0ppo-
nent Says a Few Plain Words.
NOT AFRAID OF THE BIG FELLOW.
James J. Corbett Says q Big Thump May
Down the Champion.
THE CALIFORNIAN IN GOOD SHAPE

The following is a statement made by an
Corbett the other day:
While by no means overconfdent, or un-
derestimating the magnitude of the task
ahead of him, Corbett is about as unruff1ed
a man as ever saw in preparation for .
hard fight. Said he the other night:
"I suppose people carry Sullivan alleged
stories of what say about him, just as I
hear tales of what he is stated as having
said about me; but heard one the other
day that think sounds enough like him to
be true. 1t was that Sullivan said: T am
only training hard to oblige my friends.
don't have to do it, for Corbett is SO scared of
me that he will fret himself half to death be-
fore the fight takes place Now don't want
to be egotistic, or to make the slightest
brag, but if my match with Sullivan caused
me the slightest worry would throw it up
in five minutes. will 60 further, and say
that if had any doubt in my mind of my
ability to defeat Sullivan Inever would
have permitted my friends to make it. I
will go further, and say what have never
said before, and that is, that if John L. Sui
ivan can take on the handicap of my supe-
rior height, reach, skill, youth and quick
ness and defeat me, will say that he is the
istic marvel of the world. OF course, I will
admit that the chapter of accidents and the
fortune of war may have good deal to do
with the result; that I may get an unlocked
for thump which may send me out; but it's
poor rule that won't work both ways, and
it may be Sullivan who will get the un-
lucky thUmp. They say that he thinks
I can't hit hard. He'll know more about my
hitting powers after we have been in the
ring little while than he does now. If
am not very unfortunate think I'll hit
him often enough and hard enough to
make it very uncomfortable for him, at all
events
Then Jim started to troll off "Mary
Green" in blithesome way that didn't in
dicate that he had care in the world. L
can assure John L, and he knows in his
heart that what say goes, that Corbett
isn't worrying little bit over the coming
contest. He weighs 1S5 pounds in his buff
He will fight at about 100. He is as quick
as cat and as merry as a grig, and his two
great athletic ambitions are to defeat Sui
livan and to tie Phil Casey at handball. 'I
don't think the man lives who eau defeat
Phil" said he "It would be glory enough
to tie him."

anxious to have all the cyclers present and
an open invitation is extended to them.
