For Business Men to Remember.

One of the queer things in bus
mess is the propensity of business
men to seek irregular mediums of
advertising. 1t is unaccountable
the prices some people pay for
sticking their advertisements in
irregular places. Especially is
this so when compared with their
unwillingness to pay anything for
advertising in the regular chan
ne1s. Advertisements, thrust into
irregular and unbusinesS like
places, impress the general mind
that the concern is of similar
character. But an advertisement
in a general newspaper carries the
impression that the advertiser has
a standing in his own community,
which he is not afraid to show to
his neighbors and that he does not
shrink from competing with the
best of them. If anyone is going
to place to buy, whether he be
trader or buying for his own use,
and has to seek dealers through
advertisements, where will he look
for them To registers, almanacs,
theatre bill frames, in railway sta
tions, occasional advertising sheet
or circular? On the contrary, he
looks to the reputable newspapers
of the place, and he thinks that adj
vertising in these gives an assur-
ance of the good standing of the
advertiser and his business enter
prise, and of the sufficiency of his
stock. Cincinnati Gazette.

The Toy Exhibition.

The exhibition of Mechanical
Toys and Christmas goods which
will transform the Lenox Lyceum,
Madison avenue and 5oth street,
into a veritable Kris Kringle's
home from Monday night until
Dec. goth, will be a novelty that
New York will be surprised at.
The management start out with
the principle that everybody must
be given the worth of their money,
and every lady who buys ticket
for twenty-five cents and every
child who buys a ticket for IS
cents will be given a present
This is liberality personifed, and
while it may be expensive to the
management it certainly will be
agreeable to the public. There
will be everything shown in the
way of goods for Christmas, and
goods may be purchased from the
booths at reasonable prices. There
will be good music and the doors
will be open from 2 in the after
noon until half past ten at night.
There will be novelties of every
kind, including marionettes and
illusions, and trick devices of vari-
Gus kinds, all appertaining to the
Christmas time and Christmas
cheer.

on the evening of December a2d.
One of the meanest and most
unjust things which we have to
charge the New Jersey Democracy
with is the inheritance tax" No
matter if the legacy is left to a
charitable object, this tax deducts
ten per cent from it for the sake
of helping to pay the enormously
increased number of officials load
ed upon us. By this law any
charitable institution that receives
legacy of $I,oo must pay $50 to
the State. Robbing charity for
partisan purposes would seem to be
as mean an act as possible to i'm
agine.
There was a busy session of the
Council Monday evening. The
seats and entrance were packed
with citizens who expected the
railroad matters to be discussed
They were disappointed, however;
as the proposed franchise was not
mentioned, except in the shape of
petition from Mrs Sophie Watson
opposing it. A lot of bills were
ordered paid A new map of the
First Ward was ordered made.
The Spencer ordinance, notwith-
standing its many inconsistencies,

ordinance.

JERRY SIMPSONS PLUCRY WIFB.
Though Now Seini-Invalid She Usod to
DO Good Campaign Work.

Mrs. Jerry Simpson, the wife OF the
sockless Socrates OF Medicine Lodge,
has been a semi-invaiid during the great
er part Of her husbands congressional
term, and has gone out but little. Before
that, according 20 the New York sun,
she was very active in his campaigns. She
secured the country with him and cleo
tioneered with might and main right up
10 the election. She was 50 "chummy'
with her eccentric husband that she
would often ride with him at the head
of a procession, and enc time she ac-
companed him on ten days trip when
the greater part OF the travelling was
done with a horse and buggy. But long
before the days Of political cam
paigns and contested elestlons Mrs. Slmp-
son shared her husbands experiences.
In the parlor OF Mrs. Simpsons modest
home there hangs a picture OF four
masted schooner which has been driven
on the rocks. The waves are dashing
over 1t, and on the crcss-trees and in
the rigging are huddled fourteen men.
one Of the specks In the cr0ss-trees is
supposed 90 represent Jerry Simpson.
Captain Simpson he was then, and the
wrecked schooner Is the one on which
FOR years he sailed the lakes. For nina
years, until the DAY OF the wreck, he
sailed from Chicago to Cleveland and
back. Every sumner his wife queened
1t over the vessel and went 10 and fro
With him and her little son. Luckily
she was not n passenger on that last
voyage, for Captain Simpson and his
crew were obliged 20 cling 10 the rigging
for twenty~four hours and were rescued

Domino In the Front of Two Year Olds-
Sample, Daughter of RotherhilI,
Taken to Ellerslle-sale of LiIab.

Unprecedented I'm the annals of the
American turf is the grand showing made
by the stable Of James Il. and Fox
hall p. Keene during the racing season
Of the present year. With n string Of
eighteen horses consisting of eleven two
year-olds, five three-year-ods and two
four-year-ol the Messrs. Keene won the
sum of $27s.i5s in stakes and purses. One
three-year-old and a couple of two-year
olds, members of the stable, failed to
earn winning brackets or even n place.
The stable started in l35 races, takisg
thirty-seven first monies nineteen times
second and eighteen times third having
been unplaced in sixty-one races. The
largest money winner of the lot being the
black colt Domino, two years old. by Him

coveted event among breeders, owners and
of the best contests OF the year.
In this race the placed horses were
Domino, Galilee, and Dobbins finishing
in the order given, after a hard drive
short heads apart. Messrs. Richard Gro
ker and NJ. II. Dwyer were not satisfied
with the result. and they proposed to the
Messrs Keene "a match race for $4,000 \
aide between Domino and Dobbins, which
was accepted and run off a few days
later resulting in a dead heat as Is well
known. After this Domino started but
once and that at the Morris Park Fall
meeting, where he won the rich Matron
stakes, with 12S pounds up.

cord. Whether his future be a contin-
uetion OF the brilliant exploits which
have characterized his career thus far
or otherwise. his fame is such that Il
places him In the very front rank of
American thoroughbreds. Contrary 10
the rule, Domino's disposition is kind and
gentle. He Is so well tempered that IN
his first essays he stood at the post per-

THE SOCIETY Play.
An Amateur Cast to Present, "The High
est Bidder" At an Early Date

The amateur theatrical performance 10
be given at an early date for the benefit
of the Rosemary Library by a number Of
well known society people Of this city
has created no little interest, and many
are eagerly watching for the announcement
of the cost. That there Is some excellent
dramatic talent among the society women
of Richmond has been freely admitted
ever since Our Boys scored so decided
success before a crowded audience
last season. For some time the question
of having an amateur performance In one
of the playhouses has been agitated. The
object for which ii will be given will
doubtless appeal to the sympathy Of the
community at large. The Rosemary Lib
rary Is an excellent institution and is a
great advantage to the reading public
Hundreds Of its patrons will doubtless
willingly assist In any movement for the
promotion OF its interests.
For some time II was a question with
those interested in the movement as to
the selection OF a play. The leaders were
anxious to have Sothern's great favorite,
The Highest Bidder presented. but
were uncertain as to whether they could
secure the consent Of Mr.. Sothern and his
manager, Mr.. Daniel Frohman. to allow
the charming comedy to be played by an
amateur cast a number Of letters of
much interest to many people in Rich
mond were written in regard TO the
matter
one OF the ladies at the head OF the
movement has received letter from Mr.
DANIEL Frohnan stating that they had
never before permitted the Lyceum-
iheatre plays to go into the hands Of
amateurs or oil ers. but that If he could
be given satisfactory guarantee that the
manuscript (Which is not in printed form
would be returned without being copied.
both he and Mr.. Sothern would consent TO
the richmond amateurs using IL.
"A letter from Mr.. Sothern himself grants
permission TO the local talent here to han
die the play, provided the actors mana
ger had no objection. Mr.. Sothern's let
ter states that the play is difficult TO re-
hearse, and he suggests the idea of send
ing stage manager

the well known actor has been enthusiast
ucaily received all over the country. The

nounced. Will doubtless score a pronounced
success with this charming comedy.
