Hints for Advertisers.
(FRoM PRINTERS Ink.

(FRoM PRINTERS INK.
An ad that is all emphasis is not emphatic
at all.
An ad may be pigmy in size and a
giant in strength.
An advertisement may be too brief as
well as too prolix.
Everything displayed in an ad amounts
to no display at all.
Too many assertions in an ad weaken
each individual assertion.
Sincerity and naturalness cover host of
other defects in an ad.
A woman rarely sees grammatical errors
in good bargain ads.
1t costs as much to be stingy in adver-
Using as to be extravagant.
Ads that set people to thinking will
probably make them buyers.
1t is a brainy ad that doesn't require
much brains to understand it.
There is no reason why he who adver-
tises little may not advertise well.
An illustration will often tell more than
long and laborious description.
Goods that can be sold in any season
should be advertised in every season.
You cannot create demand by adver-
Using something people do not want.
Be sure that your statements are true
and convincing before you make them.
Definite facts and clear statements are
necessary to every good advertisement.
That advertiser makes mistake who
puts more bargains in his ad than he does
in his store.
The man who thinks he knows all about
advertising will soon find out he has much
to learn.
Each effective ad contains within it a
point clear enough to clinch itself in the
readers mind.
1t pays better to tell the truth and lose
temporarily than to state falsehood and
lose permanently.
Don't try to make every word in an ad
impressive - remember the best stories
have but one climax.
No advertisement which promises more
than it performs will be of permanent ben
eft to the advertiser.
The truth in advertising may be told in
weak way and is then almost as futile as
ii it were an untruth.
One misrepresentation in an advertise
ment is remembered by customers longer
| than hundred correct statements.
It's a busy world. So make your story
brief. But don't compress your advertise
ment SO much as to leave the story out of it.
The intricate, ingenious, smart adver-

The Worcester Salt company have in
augurated novel method of advertising.
Last Wednesday morning President elect
Mckinley pressed an electric button and
a train OF "A cars loaded with $4,000
pounds of salt started from Silver Springs,
N. Y, for New England. 1t is claimed
that this is the largest single. shipment of
a manufactured commodity ever made by

up over the Fitchburg road into Vermont,
and one of them will be set off at Bellows

Monday Nights Concert.


The concert by the Amphion quartet of
Boston assisted by local talent given in
Union hall, Monday evening under the
auspices of the ladies' society of the Con-
church, drew good house and
was highly enjoyed.
The quartet while not strong combna-
ton is very pleasing one. AS would be
Ed. E. Gorham was the favoritc
with the audience. He had but one solo,
but was compelled to respond to tive
encores. Mr.. Gorham is a Westminster
boy, and possesses a voice of rare sweet
ness. His easy, nonchalent. manner on
the stage is also telling factor in his
favor. The first tenor, DR.. George Stiles
was disappointment; his voice is better
adapted to the parlor than to the hall. In
the opinion of many the strongest mem
Der of the quartet is j. Churchill Hindes,
ormerly Saxtons River boy. Mr..
Hindes sang one solo and responded to an
encore in manner that greatly pleased
his auditors. He possesses deep, rich
bass voice and knows how to use it.
With due respect to the merits of the
quartet it must be confessed that the mem
bers on the program assigned to local tai
ent, were performed in manner which
added to the pleasure of the evening in nc
small degree. Mrs. S. w. Wilder Jr.,
sang twice, and was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Her audience was SO well pleased
that she was called back both times to give
encores. Miss Alice Jackson gave ar
artistic rendition of the 'Water Nymph''
by Nevin with perfection of touch and
beauty of expression that vas a pleasing
surprise to many who had never before
heard her at the piano She too was
warmly applauded and graciously re.
sponded with an encore. As. reader
Miss Ethel Bristol of Saxtons River lacks
experience, and maturity OF voice and ex
preston. However she has a pleasing
manner and graceful way on the stage
which give promise OF better things by ant
by at present her voice is poorly adapte
to large hall and a large audience.
About $40 was realized on the sale O
tickets, and as the ladies divided the gros,
receipts equally with the quartet, the con
cert was both a financial and musica
success.

Activity at AIstead.


Activity at AIstead.
The Davis Mica company of Keene,
which was recently organized with capi-
tai of $25, 600 to purchase and operate the
mica mines in Alstead, where mica has been
proftably procured for over 80 years, are
improving their facilities and preparing to
increase the product of the mines quite
largely.
The shipments of mica have already been
increased, but no material changes in the
process OF mining have yet been made
The mica is now worked through a single
shaft which goes down about 45 feet from
surface where the vein OF mica can be fol-
lowed longitudinally in either direction
with good results. An excellent quality OF
mica is obtained, and from the cakes of
pure mica taken out sheets are split off
from 2 by 3 inches or smaller to by s
inches in size, or even larger in some
instances.
The company now proposes to sink a
new shaft near the one leading to the pres
ent 45foot level, which is to go down to a
depth of $50 feet below the surface. At
this level the vein will be followed horizon
tally in either direction until good sized
chambers are opened after which the mica
will be mined from the top of the tunnel
In this way numerous advantages will be
obtained, among the most important o.
which will be the greater ease with which
the mica can be dislodged from overhead
requiring less violent explosions and pro-
ducing very much less breakage of the
large sheets which lie in the vein. Al
refuse may also be left underfoot instead o
removing from the shaft everything thrown
off by the blasts. Work on the new TUNE
has already been begun.
The company has suitable engine ano
hosting apparatus, steam pump, steam
drill and other appliances for working th
mine, together with power house, board
ing house, storage and working rooms, etc
The mine is in charge OF James G. Davis
general manager, and half dozen men ar
employed While the new shaft is bein,
sunk night and day shifts will be put on
Sentinel.

How to Kill Newspaper in Two Years.

The following recipe for bringing about
the demise of a local newspaper is offered
by the editor of western paper:-
Just let the subscription go. It's only
a dollar or two-the publisher doesn't need
it.
eff he asks for it, get as mad as you
can, and tell him to stop the paper-you
never read it anyhow. Then go and Dor
row your neighbours.
"When the reporter comes, always be
busy. Make him feel as if he were intrud-
ing. When the advertising and Job man
comes, tell him you don't have to adver-
tise-everybody knows you; that you will
try and get along without any printed
stationery-it is too expensive; you must
economic.
Never drop in and see the editor I'M
less you want a free complimentary notice
or lengthy obituary for beloved rela-
tive. Never recommend the paper to any
body. When you do speak of it, say,
Yes, we have little sheet, but it doesn't
amount to much
Keep it up year or two, and you will
have dead newspaper, dead set of
merchants and dead town."

right to say that advertising does not pay
than the bankrupt has to claim that store

with the individual advertising or the store

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right In its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and
Tor cooking and washing purposes, but
1t was never intended for a medicine,
and people who use 1t as such will
some day regret It.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people prac-
tice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
1t accumulates in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or periton-
tits.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stom-
ach (acid dyspepsia) an excellant prep
aration sold by druggists under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
These tablets are large 20 grain loz-
enges, very pleasant to taste and con.
tain the natural acids, peptones and
digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before 1t has time to ferment
sour and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in ali
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only fol-
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap.
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic. but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will be found reliable in any stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach. All druggists sell Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets at so cts. per package.

BALTIMORE WON SECOND.
Game Was Marked by Terrific Batting
by Both Nines...Was More Inter.
esting Than First One.

Boston, Oct. 5.-rhe second game in
the Temple cup series was, like the
first. distinguished by terrific batting
by both mines, but today Baltimore
came out ahead through their ability
to get in the hits when they were most
needed, while Corbett, though hit hard.
held the home team down at critical
times The game was much more in
teresting and exciting than that of
yesterday, and the home team was very
much in it up to the last inning when
they fell down woefully. though one
safe hit would have tied the score. No
ground rules hindered long hits, and
the players, getting the full worth of
their drives, ran the bases daringly,
without fear of being called back This
addad not a little to the game and de-
lighted the crowd beyond measure.
Again the perfect weather made the
game enjoyable, while there was only
small kick in the last inning on ac-
count of the growing darkness.
The shining star of the two aggre-
cations was Herman Long, the short
stop of the home team. His stops to-
day were fairly electrifying, and it is
safe to say that such work has never
been excelled.
For the Baltimores, Stencils cover
ing of centerfield was a notable fea-
ture. Nine Boston players were retired
on flies in that direction. Score:

Do you know what ar

each drop of the oil is broken
up into minute drops, SO small
you can hardly see them with
the microscope: SO minute
that they pass at once through

not disturb digestion, is not
unpleasant to take, and does
not fail to do its work be-

MONEY TO BUILD SEWERS,
Judiciary Committee Will Advise
Councils to Borrow 100000.

The judiciary committee of select
council held a meeting last night in
the office of City Solicitor Mckinley,
at which a number of matters that
were referred to the committee for con-
sideratiOn We're passed upon. The most
important matter that engaged the at
tention of the committee was the tangle
which the construction of the proposed
South Side sewer will cause.
Inasmuch as the city must pay a
good share of the cost of any sewers
that are constructed in the city in the
future, it was decided to recommend
to council that 100000 be borrowed to
pay for the construction of the South
Side sewer and the other sewers, the
construction of which is now under
consideration.
The old claim of Muldoon & Bowie,
for work on the Linden street and
South Side bridges, was also consid-
cred.

Two High School Foot Ball Teams TO
Play Here SATURDAY..

The opening foot ball game of any
special consequence in this city this
season will be played Saturday at Ath-
letic park between the elevens of
the Binghamton and Scranton High
schools.
The Binghamton chaps are not in
fants by any means and this is shown
in their average weight of 165 pounds.
1t is one of the best teams among the
New York High schools and has an
average advantage of five pounds per
Jacket over the Scranton team. The
latter is managed by Professor John
U. Wagner and has for some weeks
been undergoing a faithful course of
training and coaching.
The line-ups will be published in to-
morrow's Tribune. The game will be-
gin at o'clock. An admission price
of only fifteen cents will be charged.

FOUR OF HOWE CHILDREN CARED FOR
Placed by Mrs. w. Ii. Duggan in the
Hlakely Poor House.

Four of the Howie children. whose
deplorable plight was told in Satur-
days Tribune, have been removed to
the Blakely almshouse. MIS-. W. b.
Duggan. agent for the board of asso-
ciated charities, who interested herself
in the case, went to Olyphant last Fri
day night and laid the case before the
poor board of that place. She was
given an order for the removal of the
children to the almshouse.
Abram Howie, father of the children,
hearing of the action of the board,
smuggled the youngest child from the
house in Marshwood and despite every
effort made to locate the child, the
father up to this time hasssucceeded in
hiding the little one.
Mrs. Duggan thinks that the man is
not trusting the child to any family,
but that he has spirited it away to an
abandoned house at some farther point
back on the east mountain.
