LESSON FROM NEWSPAPERS.
Advertisements Contain n Record Of
 Business History.

BuSiness History.
 A lawyer from the South, who was recently in Philadelphia, tells an advertising story that points moral. It seems he had been en- trusted with the commission of find- ing certain possible American heirs to the estate of an English decedent. "In making this inquiry" said the lawyer, 'G found it necessary to ex- anime the files of the leading news papers of Philadelphia and New York, covering quite a long period. 1t seemsed an endless task, owing largely to the fact that l was con tinually getting interested in some article or advertisement that had no possible connection with the matter in hand. But that which especially engaged my attention while perusing those back numbers was the adver- tisements of certain business men and commercial houses that were constantly recurring throughout the files. When they first attracted my attention they didn't occupy great deal of space, but grew con- stantly larger, as the dates of the file came nearer to the present time, until they filled pages, and from first to last, whether solid or display
 matter, they told their story clearly
 and impressively about what the
 advertiser had to sell. In these we'll
 worded advertisement 1 seemed to be
 reading the history and viewing the prosperous growth of the houses
 that had inserted them. Being @ stranger in both cities and not fa-
 milliar with the places of business
 about which been reading so much
 in the newspaper files. 1 determined
 to gratify my curiosity by visiting
 some of them. This did, and found
 colossal buildings, great emporiums
 of trade, employing hundreds, and
 ill some instances thousands, of men
 and women. From some members
 of these firms l would seek informa=
 ton regarding the history of his
 house, telling how l had followed it's
 career through the advertisements l
 had read in the newspaper files, and,
 withou exception, l was as sured that the rapid growth and ex-
 tension of the business was due more to judieious newspaper adver- Using than to any other single fac- tor. One man, who was conducting an immense business told me it was
 almost entirely theTroduet of news : paper advertising He stated that he commepced business with acapital of $10000, of which amount he in- f vested $2,500 in stock and S7 800 in advertising, and at the end of the first year had doubled his capital that he continued to increase his ad- vertising and the double process con. tinued and finally quadrupled. He said his house was then well known } and his business fully established, and he felt that he should be relieved of the expense of advertising, but other houses in his line sprung up, competitor was active, and he found | he must continue advertising to hold the trade he had acquired.

 Al. G. Fields is a great fayorite with the 'fboys, "of Pine Bluff as well as the patrons of our theater, and he and his company never come to this city without having some enter tainment given in their honor after their great minstrel performance. Last night was no exception, for after the show MT. Fields and the members of his company were ln- vited to repair to the club rooms of the Pine Bluff Athletic Association, where a six-round glove contest be- tween two stiff punehers had been arranged for the amusement of the guests of the evening. The pugilists were Joe Drew. and Lawson, the "Terrible Sweed." Lawson is the same man who gave Billy O'Donnell such bad fight before the Memphis Athletic Association several weeks ago. He is hard and vicious fighter, and but for the fact that Drew is as hard and tough as an Arkansas pineknot, the latter would have been put out before the end of the specified number of rounds, but that, together with the fact that Drew is no aslouch'' with his "dupes," made the fight a draw,
 The guests of intervening expressed themselves as being highly delighted with the entertainment, and extend- ed thelr warmest thanks to Shadow Maber Ia personal friend of Mir. Fields) who got it up for them.

SCIENCES EXPLANATION OF
MOONLIGHT.

1.-THE moon is a mirror which re-
fleets the sunlight to u.s." writes Alden
w. Quimby in July Ladies' Home
Journal. "An examination Of mon
light with the spectroscope shows, of
course, the same spectrum as that Of
sunlight. The quality of tberefec-
ton is indicated in the announcement
that it would take no fewer than six
hundred and eighteen thousand full
moons to supply to us an amount of
light equal to that which we get from
the sun, and there is only sky room
for, say, seventy-five thousand of
them. Some heat comes from the
moon, but ordinary methods will not
measure it, However, it is estimated
that it is about one eighty thousandth
of the amount which the sun supplies
to us. The inclination of the moons
orbit to the horizon accounts for the
''The Harvest and the Hunters"
moon, which occur when the tipping
is slightest, thus permitting the moon
to rise about the same time for sew
eral successive evenings. The moon
often appears much enlarged when
on the horizon, but this Is caused by
the retroactive features of the air a.
bout the horizon and the natural ten
dency to compare it with terrestrial
objects"

with cheerful spirits and undimin-

were held at $3.50 o'clock in 80 city

ers were at breakfast later risers

A SLICK SWINDLE.
OPERATING FOR A THIRD OLEVE-
LAND TERM.
BE Draws in $3.50 Each From the Gurls
Who Are Ready to Form Secret
Society For the Third Term.

New YORK, July 10.-The Her
aid this morning says: A new
form of the green goods game,
which is aslngenious as it was sue
cessful, has been played upon the
innocents in the west by a shrewd
young man who claims he is a son
of John S. Bell, formerly chief Of
the United States secret service.
Young Bell is in custody in Neo.
sho, Mo-, and the secret service
agents are now congratulating
themselves that they have finally
captured the man who for three
years has bid them defiance. The
swindle which yonng Bell is said
to have perpetrated involves no less
parsonage than the president OF
the United States. Mr.. -Cleveland's
name was used by Bell in his oper-
ations. Mr.. Cleveland's honesty as
an executive was brought into ques-
ton and the young man had the
effrontery to declare that Mr..
Cleveland was fully apprised OF
what he was doing and it was be-
ing done with his consent. Bells
scheme was partly political one.
By some means, probably by care
full inquiry among politicians, he
ascertained the names of men in
the various small towns who were
warm Cleveland adherents. He
represented to his intended VIC
Tins that he was a member OF the
secret service and that he had been
detailed upon this special mission
the organization OF a secret So
ciety, whose purpose was the elec'
ton of Cleveland to a third term
as president. Bell found plenty OF
persons who were gullible enough
to be drawn in. Flattered by what
they believed was a direct commu-
nication from the president, they
took the oath and paid their $3.50
to Bell. He is supposed to have
collected nearly $1,000. The cap
tured man is likely to be punished
severely, for the federal authori-
ties intend to procure his indict-
ment in every state in which he
operated.
John Bell, formerly chief Of the
secret service, was seen in New
York. He says he has only one
son, and he knows nothing OF the
man charged with the operation
throughout the west under his
name

A REPUBLICAN FOR SENATOR.

The Party Needs Representation in
the observation-disclosures Show
ing That the District is Repub-
lican and Suitable Candi-
dates Suggested to De-
feat Lewis for Re-
Election.
Editor Daily Light:
At the coming election a senator is
to be elected from the Twenty-fourth
Senatorial district to succeed p. J.
Lewis, the present incumbent. Sen
atOr Lewis, who was elected in 1892,
through a combination of the Repub-
leans and Clark Democrats, is to be
the Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton, being now in training with the
regular machine of the Hogg democ-
racy.
There is no good reason why the
successor of Senator Lewis should
not be Republican. On the con-
trary, there are many reasons why
the new senator should be a Republic
can.
First-The district is safely Repub-
lican and can be carried by any good
Republican.
Second-Senator Lewis, though
elected largely by Republican votes,
through his combination with the
Terrell candidacy for congress, has
since refused to acknowledge this aid
to his success, and has been an unre-
lenting critic and enemy of all men
and measures bearing the stamp of
Republican approval.
Third-He misrepresented his dis
trict in his attitude on the prize-ight
incident by cooperating with the ad-
ministration in spending over $4,000
out of an impoverished treasury of
the peoples money to stop a glove
contest, q matter to which undue i'm
portance was attached and which in
no way justified THE heavy expense
occasioned by the effect of few pol
iticians to make political capital.
Fourth-His course toward the la
Dor arbitration bill in the senate by
seeking to engraft upon it amend
ments which would, in effect, have
curtalled, if not totally destroyed the
protection sought to be afforded the
working classes in that measure
Fifth-It is a Republican year and
none but Republicans should be put
on guard. Our party, as the only
force in American politics which con-
serves the best interests of all the
people, will make heavy accessions,
from Mckinley down to the foot Of
the ticket, and should be thoroughly
organized to avail itself of its full
strength in every branch of the gov
eminent, including the state legisla-
ture.
That any good, sensible Republican
can be elected senator is shown by an
analysis of the strength of the parties
in the district In the six counties
composing the district for congress
sional candidates two years ago was
nc fnlIOwS.
