New subscriptions Coming In Rap
idly Already From City and
Country.

The action of the management of the
Post-Intelligencer i'm reducing its sub
scription price TO IS cents per month has
been rewarded by sudden and material
increase in circulation. Solicitors in the
city and country districts are meeting
with much success. a number of people
have called at the business office of the
paper seeking TO take immediate advan-
tage of the cut. Returns have also begun
TO come in from outside towns.
Notwithstanding this decided reduction
in the subscription price. there is to be no
purtailment of any of the features that
have helped to make the Intelligen-
Ger the greatest daily In the state of
Washington. The desire of the manage
ment Is always to increase the efficiency
and value of the various departments, pre-
senting TO its readers the news in the most
attractive form, and at the cheapest rate
consistent with the expense OF such a
huge enterprise.

which we commonly attribute to 1t,
The position OF women in Christian
countries Is in many respects horrible
to them. They say: we have legal
and limited polygamy; with you 1t is
Illicit and promiscuous.' Remember,
however, that the harem among the
middle and upper classes almost al
ways contains only one wife. And
what material devotion and domestic
happiness we everywhere found! The
youths are as shy and as chaste as the
maidens. As to Irritation, that is abso-
lutely unknown, A man seldom sees
the fnce of his wife until after his mar
riage. We have an idea that Mussul-
women are merely pretty playthlngs--
ravishingly beautiful they often are,
but they are also intelligent, knowing
the Koran by heart. and the most ex-
uuisite embroidery in the world comes
from the harems. a striking charac-
teristic of the women is their com

NOT a HANDBiLL MAN.

Whether as class-leader in Sunday
school or prayer meeting, or as post
master general OF the United States OF
America, or as phianthropist and
friend Of Presidents, or as one of the
most successful business men in the
world John Wanamaker of Philadel-
phia is conspicuous for what he says
and does, being keen, accurate and
generally wise in word and deed. The
following extract is from an inter-
view with him on his manner of adver-
Using and the results thereof:
IT never in my life used such q thing
as a poster or dodger or handful.
My plan for twenty years has been to
buy so much space in newspaper and
fill 1t up as ] wanted. i would not give
an advertisement in a newspaper of 500
circulation for 5000 dodgers or post
ers. If / wanted to sell cheap jewelry
or run a gambling scheme / might use
posters; but would not insult a decent
reading public with handbills. The
class of people who read them are too
poor to look to to support mercantile
affairs. / deal directly with the pub
Usher. 1 say to him:
' How long will you let me run a
column of matter through your paper
for 500 or s500? as the case may be.
let him do the figuring. and if think
he is not trying to take more than his
share l give him the copy.
II lay aside the profits on a pnrtlcu-
lar line of goods for advertising pur-
poses. At first laid aside $4,000 Last
year laid aside and spent 100000 I
have done better this year, and shall
increase the sum as the profits war
rant 1t. / owe my success to news
papers, and to them / freely give a
certain profit of my yearly business"
