Posters and Newspapers

Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger will use
no more posters. They came 30 this
conclusion to-day and surrendered
all locations in town, and wired their
agents throughout the country to
abandon this form of advertising.
Immediately after the production at
the Casino of the Strange Adventures
of Jack and the Beanstalk they re-
duced their street displays TO about
one-third of the exhibits regularly
rented by the Casino management.
That they nOw renounce them alto
gether indicates that the attendance
has not suffered. Mr.. Klaw says:
II am convinced that the step is a
good one. Thirty theaters in town. a
half dozen Sunday newspapers and
half hundred patent medicines are
weekly reaching out forthe dead walls
and paid advertising spaces for the
eye of the passerby. Enormous prices
are charged tor the spaces, and each
duhtIllStutc1lG 10 OuSCIsIOu ny It's
stream of neighbors. Years ago.
when the city was young in thea1ers
and patent medicines had not reached
the volume they represent to-day, a
manager stood a chance OF having an
effective poster read by those who
ran. Now we are crowded, and it is
question whether any of the hund-
reds of dollars spent in this channel
by managers ever attract an equiva-
lent to the box Office. Money saved
in this way We are going to put into
newspaper advertising. The COM
bined weekly circulation of the dalies
easily extends into the millions. In;
this way we get our announcements
into the houses. We have long been
considering this step, and our renun-
citation of the system is the only SEN
sible deduction possible after a re-
view of the situation. .''-Pittsburg

up to the house and demanded of Mrs.
Dimes $500. The robbers were evil

A Text for Old Clothes.

The New York '"Times" tells of the
4 amazing garments worn by an old
darky: 'Charles Alston, an old ne
gro, living near Sumter, S. c., visit
ed that town the other day, and though
his people have seen ragged darkieS
before, the raggedness of this particu-
lar darky was so phenomenalthat they
gathered around him in admiration
and amazement. When asked how
long he had worn the clothes whose
remnants huttered about him. Aston
replied: "Boss, 1 been had dis yer
suit eber since befo' de war; a wan
dering newspaper man from Washing
ton, who happened to hear this expla-
nation. declared that clothing so his
toric deserved a place in the museum
of the Smithsonian Institution, and
under pretense of sending it to that
repository of relics, persuaded the ne
gro to exchange his taters for an out
fit less picturesque but more comfort
able and seemly." Moses told the
children of Israel: II have led you
forty years in the wilderness: your
clothes are not waxen old upon you.
and thy shoe is not waxeu old upon
thy foot" Uncle Aston had worn his
clothes pretty near as long, but they
are not so we'll preserved.

Etiquette of the White House.

When the President and his wife
drive out, the President sits on the
right-hand seat and his wife on the
left.
If there are others in the carriage,
whether ladies or gentlemen. they
must sit with their backs to the horses.
When Mrs. Cleveland was first mar
ried she tried the experiment OF plac-
ing her mother@Opposite the President
and herself in the presidential landau,
but ths people laughed at it so i'm
moderately and professed to think
Mrs. Folsom las she was them to be
the maid, that twas speedily dropped.
When the Presidents wife drives
alone, she sits in the cight-hand cor
ner-the place of honor.
The lady of the White House can
uOt set foot within those splendid
houses in. Washington whose flag
staffs mark the foreign Embassy or
Legation. She could not go without
the President, and as an Embassy or
Legation is technically a part of the
country it represents, the President
could not go-so that she never sees
the inside of a diplomatic house rs
long as she presides at the Executive
Mansion. The. President dimes only
at Cabinet houses. and his wife can
not dine anywhere without him. Pres
ident Arthur dined with Judges of the
Supreme Court and with Senators
but as he had no wife the whole sys-
TEN was very much simplified for him.
The Presidents wife may, if she
chooses, go to luncheons where there
are no gentlemen, or to teas, botl be-
ing regarded as strictly informal;
but the danger of giving offense by
accepting one invitation and declin-
ing another is so great that it is sell
dom or never risked.-Illustrated

They Exchange Letters With Regard
to the Venezuela Treaty.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-The Journal
has the following by cable from Car
acas, Venzuela:
The Government to-day publishes a
personal letter from President to
President Crespo, in regard to the
Guiana boundry treaty, whichhas been
agreed upon between Mr.. Olney, the
American Secretary of State, and Lord
Salisb bury: the British Prime Minister.
The reply of President Crespo is al
so published and the Venezuelan pub
lie has thus been aware of the steps
that led up to this country's acquies-
cence in the arrangement.
In his letter, Mr.. Cleveland COM
mends the terms of the treaty to the
Chief Executive of Venezuela and with
many expressions of International
courtesy advises its acceptance as the
best possible solution to all concern
ed in the long pending question.
President Crespo answers in cordial,
but diplomatic terms. He expresses
the gratitude of his Government and
people towards the United States and
adds the belief that the Congress of
Venezuela will undoubtedly give the
treaty the attention that it deserves.

A Mixed Prayer.

A little 4 year-old girl was saying
her prayers the other night, and after
her ''Now 1 lay me" asked God to
bless her papa, mama, each one OF her
brothers and sisters, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Black, mentioning lady and
gentleman of whom the little daughter
was very fond, and who had dined
with the family that night.
Her wise older sister of 6 years list
ened critically to the prayer, and
when it was done, said severely:
sit isn't necessary to pray for any
one outside your own family. You
shouldn't have prayed for Mr.. and
Mrs. Black. God might get so many

First Meeting of Reed and Hanna

WASHINGTON, d. c., December o.
A ripple of interest swept over the
House to-day when it became known
that Speaker Reed was the recipient
of a call from Mr.. N. A. Hanna. The
Chairman of the National Committee,
accompanied by Gen. Horace Porter,
of New York, who is to be marshal of
the inaugural parade, dropped into
the Speakers room at the House at l
O'Clock. The Speaker was then in the
chair, but Representative Smith, of
Michigan, who seemed to be arranging
the meeting, told Mr.. Reed who was
waiting for him. The Speaker turned
over the gavel to Mr.. Sherman, of
Ohio, and stepped back to his Office.
Several Congressman had already
gathered there, and witnessed the pre-
sentation. 1t is said that the Speaker
and the manager of McKinley's cam
paign had never before met. Several
members who had been active in Mr..
Reed s ante-Conventionc campaign, and
Representative w. A. Stone, who
managed Senator Quay's boom at the
capital last spring, took part in the
meeting.
Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Hanna talked for
about five minutes, and Senator Nor
rill, who happened to be in the Speak
er's room, talked with them. 1t was
said afterward that Mr.. Hanna called
merely to pay his respects to the
Speaker and public matters were not
mentioned.
