AN OLD STORY.

A feminine correspondent writes to
the REGISTER, complaining that pic
ture firm that offers to reproduce in
life-size and handsomely framed the
photograph Of any person responding TO
its advertisement, absolutely free
OF charge" after she had forwarded
her photograph, sent a letter asking
$3.50 20 pay ''the necessary expense Of
advertising, packing and delivery,
aud our fair correspondent wants the
said firm exposed as a fraud.
This is a text for a never-ending ser
mon on the fruitful subject Of smart ad-
vertisers and gullible readers, who ex-
pect to get something for nothing.
Whether this particular picture firm is
fraud. or not, we are unable to say,
though the chances are the pictures
would not be worth the $3.50 asked for
advertising, packing and delivery.
The scheme is doubtless one Of the
hundreds that food the advertising
columns OF certain class Of newspapers
and journals, which though not actual
frauds under the letter Of the law, take
advantage OF ignorance to fleece
their prey, giving them, however,
a Q,fid pro quo in experience.
1t is always a safe rule TO follow that
in this world, no one, except now and
then q mugwump politician, is given
something for nothing. Another safe
rule is to read none but reliable news
papers whose advertising colCmns can
be depended on.

The Jewish Bankers and Financiers OF
Europe win Boycott Russian Bonds and
Securities.
LONDON, March 16.-1he London
Russo-Jewish committee has sent TO
every Jewish banker and bank director,
bank manager, stock broker and agent
de Change" in Europe passionate APP
peal to combine in boycotting the hus-
sian loans, and in boycotting the trade
in Russian securities generally. The ap-
peal is significant in connection WIFE
the fact that the Russian government
has just issued a ukase providing for an
internal loan and that Russian bankers
are endeavoring to extend their rela-
tions with money centers outside OF
Russia. Owing to the Leading position
of the Jews in the money markets OF
Europe it is expected that the appeal,
if complied with, will virtually drive
Russian securities of all kinds out OF
those markets and work great disaster
to Russian Industrial enterprises. The
appeal is in retaliation for the con-
tinued severity OF the Car in dealing
with the Jews.

TO MAKE REsTITUTION.

A letter from a Virginia gentleman
who suggests that. since the period Of
good will and reconciliation has arrived,
the northern soldiers should make resti-
tuition Of the valuable documents, in
GLIDING ancient Wills, deeds, court
records, marriage bonds, and other in
teresting and valuable papers which
they carried of as plumber to their
homes when they walked over Virginia
in behalf Of the Union, causes the Bos-
ton Herald to remind New Englsnders,
who are evidently in the writer's
thought the chief offenders, that before
Plymouth rock was discovered Governor
ARGALL OF Virginia, hearing that the
French were settling in that regien,
boldly sailed up there and drove away
and carried of the last one OF them.
''He prepared New England for New
Englanders, says the Herald. "This
living Virginian now asks that the pres
ent New Englanders shall restore what
ever monumental the Union soldiers car
ried away from Virginia and from the
whole South in the way Of free plumber,
and shall help to cement the restored
friendship by acts Of restitution which
represent the principle, should they 90

er aud nobler than that which led TO
their being taken away from the Old

With the advent Of the new admins
tration and the prospects OF speedy re-
form Of the tariff that most highly pro-
tected industry, the manufacture OF
glassware, appears to have gained de-
cided impetus. 1t will stump the Nc
Klnleyites to explain just how it hap
pens, but it is hard fact all the same.
The Philadelphia Manufacturer, one
OF the organs of the high tariffites, by
the way, states that the CRAVEN Broth
ers Of Salem, n. j., have shipped five
carloads Of glass bottles TO England,
thus for the first time bringing bottles
manufactured in this country into COM
petition with bottles made in England.
The Manufacturer pointed out that the
workmen engaged in the manufacture
OF these bottles in New Jersey earn on
an average IS per day, but "by reason
OF their superior skill Messrs. CRAVEN
claim that they can com pete in the Eng
lish market with the cheapest manufac-
lures abroad, and furnish much better
bottles than the English can make"
The bottles were shipped on the day OF
Mr.. CLEvELAND'S inauguration.
Upon the heels of this interesting an
nouncement comes another from the
New York Times, which, to use its own
words, indicates that the glass manu-
facturers are not going out Of business
because a tariff reform Administration
has come H." The Times says:
one of the largest manufacturers of
glassware hereaOOuts is William Brook
held, whose ONCE is at So Fulton street,
and who has very large plant at Bush
wick Mr. Brookheld is, and was during
the last campaign, the Chairman OF the
Republican State Committee, and no one
fought more valiantlY than he for the sue
cess of Republicauism and the Mckinley
law in last falls big political battle.
About the time that Mr.. Cleveland was
again taking 10 the reins Of government
Mr. BrOoktield was completing the pur-
chase of glass plant at Glass borough, n.
j., which will almost double the capacity
Of his works. He has purchased the Wood
ward w arrick plant, which has been IN
operation for fifty years. 10 has the largest
furnace but one on this side Of the Ale
gheuy Mountains, the exception being at
BridgetOn, n. j. The capacity of Mr..
Broofheld's new establishment is said TO
be between thirty and forty tons day. 1t
has been used for the manufacture Of win
dow glass, but it is understood that its new
owner will convert it into plant Tor the
manufacture Of hOllowware.
MAYBE Mr.. BROOKFIELD is going to
begin to compete for business in the
the English market" adds our contem-
porary. However that may be, it is in
teresting to note that one of the leaders
in New York State in the fight for high
protection pays fine tribute Of conf
dence to Sn administration that is faced
sternly against high protection by
promptly doubling up his business
plant as soon as the new administration
goes into power.
