team. Mrs. Smith proved her strength and perseverance in following this rough scrabble over great boulders and through underbrush, up and down and across little ravines and by the side of the stream, which now ran with gentle murmur and again plunged over a succession of delightful cascades. During this walk several conveys of grouse flew from our pathway and of course the gun was far away. Finally we came within sight of the glare and smoke of a campfire and there was MT. Smith preparing a warm supper for us, and most welcome it was. By this time the twilight shadows crept up the mountain sides until the crests alone were bathed ia rosy light, signal ing from peak to peak the swift depart ing day. After supper came the great round moon, coyly hid at times behind dark banks of threatening clouds, now and then peepug forth to give us light for hitching up and loading and starting forth upon our drive. These shifting shadows as we picked our way towards the Placerville road seemed to give life and motion to rocks and stumps along the route, but with such an excellent driver as MT. Smith no harm came to the vehicle and soon we were able to speed along the great highway in tn bright light of an un- clouded moon. At o'clock the lights of home and the honest watch dog S bark greeted our arrival, a cosy fire, and then came rest and dreams of forest, streams, lakes and mountains

around the world, and a very telling | advertisement Is a bicycle parade, with prizes for the "best lady's costume" the most comical the best riders of each sex, etc. It is necessary as in the l news department, that new schemes shall be planned, for the old ones lose their effect by repetition. The 'chro- mo with every number" is one that a circulation manager said had been done till people seemed to have lost the taste for such pictures, The mystery story had failed because it required dis crimination in favor of the intelligent few, to guess how the plot would turn out. The art poster was merely fad, manager said who stopped using it as an advertisement, and he preferred something more striking and insistent, 1 like the circus bill. But all these meth ods are crude, and are resorted to chief 1 ly to start the paper.
 | The finer work comes with the in- crease of circulation, when the manager is endeavoring to attract the readers he has missed in the first rush of business. He studies his subscription lists talks to the delivery superintendent and can vases among the newsdealers to find out where his sales are small, If one suburb or neighborhood is behind the others, he reports to the managing edi- tor, who sends there a correspondent to write it up. When sensational story is secured in the place the circulation manager is notified and he arranges with the delivery department to have a score of boys go there with great bum dles of the paper and cry it sbout the street, calling especially the scare heads" of the local piece of news Be- fore them, if there is time, the solicitors have spread tho reports of the great story" and after them subscriptions are 1 drummed up or the newsdealers are in duced to make extraordinary efforts to continue the sales. In much the same way the population of town is ana lyzed in comparison with the subscrip- tion list, to ascertain what classes have been untouched by the general canvass
 If the sporting men have not been buy ing the paper, the sporting department is improved perhaps reorganized with a new sporting editor taken from the paper that has the most readers of that class, and the circulation manager has

ATROCTOUS NEWSPAPER FASH.
 IONS,

The daily papers are not content with plastering pictures over their pages, most of which are super1uous and most of which are bad. They have now devised all sorts of topographic freaks with which to disfigure the pages already defaced by poor pictures. flculty to pursue the windings of an ar article in and out of the pictures and over to the inner pages where it's ram
 ifcations generally terminate. For,ac cording to the new journalism" it is necessary to begin all the news features
 on the first page with a whpop and
 howl, allowing them to trickle out like
 stale treacle on the inside pages. But
 this desire to get everything featured"
 on the first page has brought out the
 condition which makes the daily papers
 look like picture-puzzles AS if to add to the confusion, some inspired editorial
 idiot has now devised q plan for en- closing in borders ali sorts of indiVid-
 uaIs more or less obscure, and the flotsam and jetsam generally of the news of the day. There is thus made up a sort of journalistic remnant coun- ter of newspaper rag-tag, which is sur rounded with variegated black borders of varying degrees of hfdeousness. and around which must coil and curl and | convoIute the genuine news of the day. The hapless purchaser of a newspaper | is now forced to pick out the news not | only from amid the pictures which de- face the pages of the dailies, but from
 these typographical monstrosities as | well.-San Francisco Argonaut.

One Sentence.

One sentence which was uttered at the annual convention of the Connec- ticut Woman Suffrage association in Merideu last week stands out:
 Fair as star, when only one
 Is shining in the sky
 formulated this article of belief which we are sorry that our mechanical es- tablishment can't convert into italics without some inconvenience: Tn my opinion a reasonable, healthful dress is more important than the ballot" That one sentence brushing away the cobWebs, dissipating the fog and going cross lots to the heart of great truth was the one striking product of con- vention called into simple and forceful English the collective conviction of 99l9 per cent. of the women of Connecticut. For our friends of the cradle-rocking sex in this state have showed lofty scorn of the elective franchise, but year by year, here little and there little, upon the installment plan, they are emancipating themselves from the thraldom of certain absurd and un- scientific customs of dress. It was only the other week that the Water bury Women's club formally and un- animously resolved to the effect that the sweeping of the streets and side walks could more properly be left to the municipal authorities than to wo- mems skirts. All honor to Frances Ellen Burr for putting into words the thought of 100000 Nutmeg women. The Connecticut Woman Suffrage associa- tion, by thus indicating the relative unimportance of woman suffrage, has at last vindicated its existence.-Wa- terbury Republican.

The spring beat in the shape of young
colored woman is making the rounds of
West End houses erideavoring to enlist the
aid of the charitably disposed. She has
story with enough misery and trouble in

the effect that she is the eldest of eleven
children. whose mother was burned to death
and whose charred remains now await
burial. The father of these rnfortunates
has long since deserted them, and since
the burning of the poor old shanty where
their mother lost her life they have no
refuge but the woods near by them.
The lady next door," whose name is
always mentioned. has contributed one dol

with any inconsistencies in her story. this

The elder Gary was an extensive manu- facturer of cotton duck, the business of fees and warehouse being located i'll Baltimore. In 1861 James A. Gary was admitted to the firm, and the business was conducted under the name James s. Gary 85 Son. The active influence of the new member was soon felt, and the growth and prosperity of the business were most marked In 1862 a branch house was opened in St. Louis, which gave the concern a footing ill the west that proved most profitable. h 1870. James A. Gary succeeded his father in business, and during the 26 years that have elapsed since he assumed control the business has continued to prosper. Among the business men of Baltimore he has a gilt edged standing that is only to be attained by years of business probity and proved stability.
 For several years MT. Gary was presi- dent of the Merchants and Manufactur- CTS association He is now vice presi- dent of the Consolidated Gas company and vice president of the Citizens Ma tional bank He also holds directorships in the Savings Bank of Baltimore, the Warehouse company, the American h.
