Aside from departures In policy and
innovations on A.large scale the original
ity of the department store is largely sup
piled by two departments to some extent
correlated. These are the advertising de-
partmeDt and the window dressing oe-
psr.ment. One is the literature of the
great store, the other its art. The shop
windows are great stimulus fer the
department whose goods are displayed In
them. A good showing will often won
derfuliy increase the sale OF the stock ss
well as attract customers to the store who
are new to II. Frequently the head
advertising man is the general manager
OF the store. Whether this Is the case or
not, he is q general supervisor of the
establishment, with a complete know ledge
of it's ever-chansing detail. Every day
ne holds consultations with heads OF de-
partments TO find out what particular
lines of articles they want "boomed"
and about these articles he writes sllur-
ing statements for the shopping public to
read, sometimes arranging for illustra-
tions with them. The amount of money
sPche lux nuseiticihs IL hppdiiius Wbc"
looked upon as an expense. One great
store in Philadelphia spends on an aver
age $1,000 every day In the year, and
a good many speno $500 day. The
advertising receives probably mere of
the personal attention of the head of the
house than any other department.. The
head Of the firm which expends the
great sum inst mentioned personally sug-
gests and frequently writes the Leading
lines in the daily announcement. The
proprietor OF great store in Brooklyn
does this invariably and thinks tie time
well spent which the work daily requires.
The mail department tends TO enlarge
this expenditure, as the store reache, out
to the utmost parts OF the country, and
the future will no doubt see an even
greater development in the effort to
secure mail customers In the small
towns and In country places. From

THE VENEZUELAN. ARBITRA TION.
The friendly Offices OF the United States
In the matter Of the controversy between
England andvenszuela having resulted In
a proposition acceptable to both principals
to the matter in dispute, there is moth
ing further for our government to DO ex-
crpt to appoint the two judges that are
though the Venezuelan commission sitting
at Washington will continue its work
till completion and make a report which
will doubtless give a more comprehensive
and unbiased review of the case than
anything that has hitherto been made
public and will perhaps be availed of by
the srbitsrs.
Despite the reports OF opposition to the
plan proposed it sppsars that to the
leading Venezuelin statesmen the prop
csition is directly in line with what their
country long has sought from England
and that nothing more has been asked
for. Ard it appears certain that the gov
eminent now has the support OF q ma
jority Of the psopls in It's acceptance OF
the plan. Naturally venezuelans woui
like to have a direct representative on
the board and because this Is not provid-
ed for good deOl of controversy has been
aroused. But the Prevailing disposition
Is not to make mountain OF this mole
hill. The nominations are left to the
two justices Of the United States Supreme
Court and two justices Of tho British su-
preme Court and neither are likely to Sc
lect Venezuelan.

THE KING OF FIREBUcs.

ISAAC ZuKER of Union Hill, N. j., Is
probably entitled to be known as the
King OF Firebugs. He las been found
guilty OF arson In the first degree and is
likely to spend the rest of his days be-
hind bars.
ZUKER Is said to have amassed q for
tune OF s20o,000 from incendiarism. The
specific crims upon which he was con-
victed was the firing OF a house valued at
$500, but which he had mortgaged for
5000 and had insured for 5000. The
capture OF frebugs in New York actively
concerned In the operations led to the
exposure of conspiracy Of which zUKuR
was the head, and to disclosure that
the latter had for many years made
business OF incsn diarism, the other men
engaged being his hired tools. Insurance
companies were systematically robbed
and not infrequently, 1t appears, was life
endangered, as In the particular case
upon which a conviction has been found.
I he penalty for arson IN New York 70 a
Of ~ years and q minimum OF
10 years. Formerly life imprisonment was
the maximum penalty.

LEpRosY NOT CONTAGIOUS.

That in our climate the fearful disease
OF leprosy Is not contagious is the deci-
sion OF the Academy OF Medicine OF New
York as promulgated at nesting the
other night. lhe report of special COM
mittse on the subject declared that the
fear OF lerrosy as contagious disease
was medical superstition and that ac-
c,rdingly, while lspers are not desira BILE
members Of society, II is unjust to the
victims OF the disease to segregste them.
What the conditions are that make Ieprosy
contagious the COMMITTEES Is unable to re-
port put Il observes that Ia civilized So
eiety there IL no danger from having
lepers released to 60 treir ways and pur-
sue their usual svocations. Doubtless the
report will be valuable to the public at
large as we'll to the unfortunate afflicted
with leprosy, inasmuch as the former has
been taught timidity of anything bearing
the sem olance OF the disease.

Six states will hold elections for the
selection of state officers before the
general election in November. They
are Alabama, Arkansas. Florida.
Georgia. Maine and Vermont. The
time was when the list of these early
elections was much larger, and when
they afforded indications of much
value in f~orecasting the result Of the
national contest to follow. In the
present contest, there is little prospect
that the early voting will have any
very significant bearing upon the re-
suit of the national contest, but still
the outcome will be awaited with con-
siderable interest.
