1t seems to be natural propensity
f r the merchant to advertise his
goods literally when times are good
aud his clerks are busy, his store full
of people waiting to make their pur-
chase and he is doing all the business
that he can with his force of en-
ployes. Then when there come dull
time when trade is not brisk, his
clerks idle, he considers it great econ
omy to take his ad. out of the home
paper. Friends, did you ever think of
it in the way Chas. Austin Bates
demonstrates it in printers Ink?"
He says: "It's when a mans sick
that he needs medicine, and it's the
same with a business. The sicker it
is the more medicine it needs. / be-
lieve advertising will sell anything,
anywhere, anytime, if it is the right
sort of advertising and is rightly fol-
lowed up"

Two Papers for s1.5o.
The MORRIS TRIBUNE and Farm,
Stock and Home one year for Sl.50.

A newspaper has at least 5000
readers to 1000 subscribers. A mer-
chant who puts out 1000 hand bills
gets possibly 200 to 300 people to
read them. The hand-bills cost as
much as an advertisement in the home
newspaper. ALI the women and
girls, and half the men and boys read
the advertisement. The merchant
who uses the newspaper has $500
more readers. There is no estimating
the amount of business that advertis-
ing does bring to merchant, but
that each dollar invested brings a
rood return there can be no doubt

FOOT BALL SIGNALS
How the Players Know What to
Do.
NUMBERS THAT SOUND MEANINGLESS
They Convey a Definite Order tc
Some One.
THE SY STEM ESCRIBED

From the New York Evening Sun
To the uninitiated spectator the manage.
ment of the play of foot ball team has
always been more or less of a mystery,
How do the different men happen to go i'm
a certain direction or execute a certain
movement at just a certain time? is a
question that has frequently been asked by
casual observers of foot bali match. More
experienced onlookers are usually able to
answer the question in a general way by
explaining that signals are used, and nearly
every one has at least been told and under.
stood in an indefinite way that puzzlini
combination Of numbers is called out by
some member of the team before each play,
and has it's significance I'm regard to what
is to be done by the players; that is, that
the combination of numbers is a signal
That there is some method of designating
the man to whom the ball is to be passed
after being snapped back is, of course, also
generally understood; but that each combi.
nation of numbers is a signal which con-
reys to-the mind of every man on a team
exactly what he and every other member
is To attempt TO dc is fact which, even
If known generally. probably requires a full
explanation to the majority of persons in
order that they may realize how the thing
is done.
For the purpose of thoroughly enlight-
ening the general public therefore, COM
plete system of signals, by which practical
iy any play ordinarily undertaken by foot
ball team may be made, is herewith set
down and fully explained.
The system given is one of the simplest
POSSIBLE and Is used as to avoid confus-
ing the ideas of the non-expert with a
great complexity of numbers, such as is
sometimes involved I'm the elaborate sys-
TENS used by some teams.
The system here given, as has been said
is one OF the simplest possible. but will give
the reader an idea OF signaling sufficient
to enable him to at least appreciate the fact
that the different and apparently inexpli-
cable combinations of numbers which he
may hear on the foot bail field certainly
have a very definite meaning to the players.
The system here given is composed only
of numbers, and IL is by the use of numbers
almost entirely that signals are given by
the leading foot ball teams at present
Several years ago systems involving sig
rails with the hand some motion of the
body, or the use of certain words, were very
commonly used, but with the new methods
OF play most of that sort OF signaling has
become obsolete, leaving the system in
yolving numbers only the one now almost
universally employed. The use of the fol-
lowing diagram will make the explanation
OF signaling very easy to comprehend:

skirts edge. A black folded collar and wristbands complete the costume. The stole ends certainly add height and they are almost as convenient to the awkward girl, and easier to manage, as the old time scarf, which, it was said, made any one graceful.
 Oddly conceived, too, is the autumn costume which is sketched here. | Made of pale tan woolen suiting com. bined with dark heliotrope, it's skirt consists of the wooden stuff is gored and is ornamented with lace wheels placed on the colored silk and ap. pliqued to the material. It is lined with silk and has a thirty inch band of stiffening around the bottom. The bod l ice is round in the back but pointed in front and hooks first in the center and then at the side. It is made entirely of heliotrope taffeta and is trimmed with a deep lace girdle that follows the out lines on the bottom. It's garniture is completed by an ornate lace collar hay ing & wired edge and tapping over or, one side, where it is finished by a long, ended bow of heliotrope ribbon. The puffed sleeves end in lace cuffs.
 The handkerchief sleeve Is an odd af. fair made of two big handkerchief squares. The four lower corners tie around the arm at the elbow, making two lear knots.' one of the top and one under the arm. At the shoulder the top corners tie, one knot coming in front and the other back. The side edges of the sleeve are left open, dis. playing an under sleeve of muslin. FtLORETTE.

of all the Republicans. But there are one or two things the convention might properly and beneheially turn down. One is the idea that all the Republicans of New Haven are in duty bound to be subject to the little baek-room rint that has looked out so we'll for Itself for many years. and is even now en- gagged in the same patriotic oceupa- ton. If that ring runs the convention tonight 1t will be failure of the most ignoble sort. The convention should conduct its own affairs without regard to the fling. There should be no hesi- tatioh. and no puttering. Who would be free himself must strike the blow"
 We do not think 1t necessary to choose delegates that can go to the convention and howl and play fantastic tricks before high heaven and low poli- ticians. IL would be good idea to send ioui HiNH Who Nuh pN tdotNu " WNh represent the sentiments of those who send them and to act with discretion when they get there. These men need mt have white hair. although they should be white" men. r They needn't he orators. There will be ora tors enough there without sending a batch from New Haven. New Haven should send something more solid than wind. They needn't be statesmen Statesmen are a trlfle heavy for such work. What Is wanted Is just an honest, common-sense delegation that will not play tricks or be trlcked. Such q delegation can hold Its own and do quite as good work as smart one.
 We hope there will be entire harmony at the convention this evening-not the harmony of ring rule but the harmony of honest, friendly and judicious ac. ton.

FOR CONGRESyN Iy.

The Republican town convention to choose delegates to the congressional convention will be held this evaning and it will be very hearty and unani- nous affair. The delegates chosen will be for the nomination of the Hon. N. D. Sperry. There is no difference Of opin- ion about this matter, and there Is a most positive agreement of opinion about it. He is the man the Republi- cans of New Haven want to vote, for, and their representatives will say so to- night. They know that he can fitly represent this important district, and they know that his great ability, his skill, his extensive acquaintance with public men and his long experience in public affairs would make him an un- commonly useful and efficient congress- man. They know that he is not striv- ing for the nomination, but they are eager to see him nominated and eager for a chance to strive for his election.
 The same sentiment that exists in New Haven seems to prevail through out the district. The general feeling is that with MT. Sperry as the nominee there will be good ground for hope of victory. His nomination will be the signal for enthusiasm and work such as are not often seen in political cam- paign.

MAINE,
paign.

The returns from Maine are not com. plete yet, but enough have come in to indicate that the tendency observable in Vermont exists in Maine. This is a Republican year and no mistake. When the returns are complete 1t will be interesting to compare them with the prediction made by MT. Manley, chair man of the Republican State commit. tee, who said the other day in letter to MT. Cleaves, the Republican candi. date for governor: 4 conservative esti- mate shows that you will be elected governor on Monday next by majority of at least 1SOO0 over your Democratic competitor, c. F. Johnson. Mir. Reed and MT. Milliken will be reelected to congress by majorities ranging from 5000 to 1000. Ex-Governor Dingley and MT. Boutelle will be reelected by major tiles ranging from 5000 to 5000 over their Democratic opponents. We shall carry every senatorial district, with the possible exception of one, and we shall elect at least 117 out of 151 representa- lives to the house. The total vote will probably not exceed 115,0OO It will be a sweeping victory, and one of the most perfect and complete triumphs the Re. publican party has ever achieved in Maine.
 So far there is nothing to indicate that MT. Manley has been too san. guine. At the election in 1892 the Re. publican plurality for governor was 12531,

The driven wells of Brooklyn. New York. have been very useful this sum- mer. During the administration of Mayor Low the city was in peril of water famine and something had to be done at once. Two driven well stations were established and the supply there- from saved the city from suffering Brooklyn seems to have approved the experiment and now has Ave stations where water Is pumped from gangs of driven wells, and at least one-third of the city's supply Is from this source. The present yield Is 27,O00.0OO gallons per day, and when the system Is com pleted the supply will be 57.O00.OOO gal. Ions or more than half the water con. sumed by the city. The driven we'll system consists of series of iron tubes of two and one-half or three inches in diameter driven into the earth until they reach the water strata. These tubes are connected at the top with a large suction pipe from which the en- zines pump the water into the stand pipes, whence 1t is distributed over the city. The number of pipes depends somewhat on the underground supply and some of the stations have as many as 25O. The yield of the wells has not been affected by drouth as yet, even when surface streams have been ex- hausted,

The forestry article adopted by the New York constitutional convention provides that the lands of the state now owned or hereafter acquired, con- stituting the forest preserves now fixed by law, shall be forever kept as wild forest lands. They cannot be leased, sold or exchanged,' or be taken by any corporation, public or private, nor can the timber thereon be sold, removed or destroyed. The importance of this pro- vision may be appreciated when it is realized that the state now owns 3,OOO,- poo acres of forests in the Adirondacks, which are thus forever preserved from spoliation.
