A Business Announcement,

After January lst., 1894, the price
of the ADVERTISER will be one
dollar and fifty cents a year in
stead of one dollar.
This advance is made because
our experience Of the last three
years has proven that a first rate
paper cannot be published for one
dollar and at the same time return
a fair remuneration to the pub
Usher.
1t has been the earnest endeavor
Of the publisher Of the ADVERT
SER since he has been in charge of
it to furnish its readers with q pa
per which regardless of price
should be the equal of any other
published in the, county. While
the friends of the paper assure tho
editor that he has not failed in this
1t has been found an impossibility
without spending more money on
the paper than it's income would
warrant.
1t is proposed to make the AD-
VERTIsER a very much better pa
per than it has been in the past.
Within the next few days a change
will be made which will add con-
siderably 10 the amount Of the
reading matter and other improve
ments to render the columns of tho
paper fresher and newsier will fol-
low. We intend to make the paper
so full of the local happenings of
interest to the people Of tho county
that all OF them without d~istipc-
tion as to politics will be anxious
to read it.
The ADVERTISER is not The news
paper Of a faction. The editorials
express the political opinions Of
the editor but space is never re-
fused to any man who has any
thing Of public interest to say in
print. The contributions Of Till
NANTES are equally welcome with
those Of Ants.
BY reference to the local side of
the paper it will be seen that all of
the old subscribers rs we'll as new
will be able to obtain the paper
during the year 1894 for the old
%price--it being only necessary for
them to pay their subscriptions and
arrears now.

If "Refawln" papers pretend to
claim the adoption of the "compro-
mise" as a silver victory they must
at the same time concede that It
was especially a victory for Sena-
tor Butler, who has throughout the
fight been one Of the leading and
most persistent advocates of com
promise. The compromise on the
other hand is defeat for Senator
Irby, who as The State points out,
declared in his speech GAS for my.
self, L aIn not one OF the silver men
who ask for OF will accept any
compromise short Of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver ut the
ratio of 16 to 1, or the complete re-
mobilization Of silver" IT is clear
therefore that SenatorIrby cannot
accept the compromise without an
ignominious backdown from the
position taken in his bold and
able" speech of ten days ago and
his reluctancy to agroe to it is, to
say the least, not discreditable to
his consistency.

The Governor will close the dis
pcnsaries which do not pay cx-
penses. Those which sell little
whiskey must stop business. There
fore they must strive to sell much
whiskey. All of which makes it as
plain as an old shoe that dispen-
saries arc run in the interests Of
prohibition and to prevent people
from drinking.

Poor man pays Il tax to support
spies, dispensers and the State
every time he swallows a dram.
Rich man buys whiskey from
dealers outside of the State at half
what the same stuff costs the poor
man. Conclusion: "Reform" and
the "Dispensary" save money to
the common people, Can't a blind
man sec that?

so far as this state is concerned
was the presbyterian College of

for years been the policy and the
custom of this institution to admit
students without distinction as to
sex and the plan has steadily grown
in popularity.

sat a woman so busily engaged that she
did not notice his approach
CAN tickets pl-" at the first sound
Of his voice she turned and thrust into
his hands--no the bit Of desired paste
board, but q half dressed doll That
conductors jaw dropped. his eyes bulged
and he fairly gasped In his amazement.
Presently he collected his senses, and
an exchange was effected But every
time the man In the blue coat and brass
buttons passed through the car, he
evinced the liveliest interest in the cos
tuning Of that doll. Finally it was
completed, and very sweet 1t looked, in
a bewilderiDg combination Of blue and

Eugene O'Rourke, who is we'll and

deliueator of Irist character, but as an
excellent singer and agile dancer, will
make his first appearance here at the
Grand Opera House this evening, also
to morrow, Saturday evening and Sat
urday afternoon matinee. He will
present new Irish comedy-drama
specially written for him by the actor
author, Mark Price, entitled "The
Wicklow Postman. F" Both Mr.. O'Rourke
ard Mr.. Price claim that in this play
they have entirely gotten away from
the conventional Hibernlan drama which
has done such good service In years past
but with which the public has become
somewhat satiated. They have dispensed
with the red coat, the blackthorn, the
priest, the informer the process server
and all the other worn types so familiar
to us. One would think that without
these characters an Irish play could not
be constructed, but any student Of Irish
history OF the past or present will aknow
that their elimination still leaves ample
scope and fresh material for the
dramatist.
