TO the Editor OF The Republican.
NJ. Sadi-Cornot, President of the
French republic is dead-dead at the
hand Of an assassin-an anarchist.
President Carnot was "a man of
purity of life, of distinguished pub
ic service, lover Of the people OF
his country and a friend to all of
them. Twice | have seen the
President of the United States laid
low by the hand OF an assassin but
the Government still survives. so
it will be with France. There will
be mourning and there will be in
dignation, but there will also be a
government and that government
will continue to be republican.

| have lately learned that
Springfield, Mass, clergyman
sprung a sensational advertisement
upon his congregation. He flooded
the city with circulars inviting the
wheelmen to attend the Sunday
morning service, which would be
specially interesting to those riding
wheel. A reporter who was pres
ent says: "The pastor chose his
text from job XXX, %: Thou
causest me to ride upon the wind
The entire service was little less
than an advertisement for the COM
pany whose wheels occupied prom
lnent place within the chanceI rail,
and is the first case on record where
the pulpit has been engaged us the
advertising medium of any par
tlcular kind Of Il Wheel" Appre-
ciating the position in which he
was placed with the wheels of GER
tain firm so prominently exhibited
on the platform, the pastor retain
ed for the greater part Of the time
from referring to the name of the
manufacturers, bnt in his descrip-
ton brought out many of the
superior points which are claimed
for this special make. This opens
up new field for advertisers, but
it is doubtful if anyone will attempt
to follow this example.
