Learned Ills Lesson.

The one great point about adver tising is to find where and how il will do the most good. The mer- chants of New York have tried va rious ways-the cars, sandwich men, posters, hand bills and various other schemes--and have spent large sums of money in these expe- riments.
 Now a New York correspondent tells us that the large stores of that city concentrated their Christmas advertising this year in the news papers to greater extent than ever before. Experience has taught them how best to reach the multi tude.
 The advertisers outside of Gotham would display wisdom by following the example, without going to the expense of the experiment.-News- Record.

ATTEMPTED POISONING.
Samuel l.. Priest Swears Ont n War
rant Against Valentine Gaines.

Rockville, Md, Oct. 10.-Valentine
Gaines, colored, was confiped in the jail
at this place on Thursday, charged with
having attempted TO poison Samuel l..
Priest of Silver Springs, this county.
This morning Mr.. Priest appeared be-
fore Mr.. Alexander Kilgour, States at
torney. and made complaint upon the
ground that the negroes in that section
of the county had made an appeal 10
the magistrate, who had committed
Gaines to jail, and that new trial was
to be granted him, which, if done, would
would gain an acquittal, and in conse-
quence his life would be in constant
jeopardy.
Mr. Priest made the following state
ment TO Mr. Kilgour: That on last Thurs
day Gaines came to his home, where he
was employed, in a rather surly mood,
and acted in a hang-dog sort of man
ner at everything he was told 10 do,
and that finally he CMr. PriesU became
provoked and discharged him.
Shortly after that he went into the
house TO eat his breakfast, and, upon
putting sugar into his coffee, he noticed
peculiar color to It which he had never
noticed before, and he became suspicious
and did not use the same, but wrapped the
bowl carefully up and took IL down 10 the
| health department in Washington, where
he had the contents analysed. After a
careful analysis 1t was found to contain
rough on rats in a quantity large enough
| to kill four or five men. He Immediately
suspected Gaines, and went to his house,
but found only his wife at home, and after
rigidly questionig her he found that the
day before Gaines had had some rough on
rats in the house, but on looking she found
it missing, and she did not known what he
had done with it.
Mr. Priest swore out a warrant for him
and his arrest followed that day.
Mr. Kilgour states that Gaines will be
held under a heavy penalty until the No
vember term of court to appear before the
grand jury.
Mr.. Priest was for a number of years
lecturer and professor at the Harvard
University. He was also well known as
Unitarian preacher For a number OF
years he resided in Boston, but upon his
retirement from active life he bought

he has been living for several years in re-

PRIVATE PARREPT'S Case
Board of Inquiry Reports to
Secretary Alger.
THEFINDINGS KEPT SECRET
indication That DIR. Tabor Is' Held
Responsible for the Death of bL~
Soldier and He May Have TO Stand
Trial by Court-MartiaI-Liabi
OF Contract Surgeons.

The hoard of inquiry appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Contract
Surgeon Tabor has made its report to
Secretary Alger, but that official today
positively declined TO give out the find
ings.
the death of Private Hugh Parrett, at
Camp Wikoff. was directly due to his re-
fusal to permit the soldier TO be admitted
into the hospital under his charge for
treatment; that when Tabor made this
refusal the soldier was even then in a dy-
ing condition in his tent and died during
the night while lying between two COM
raaes.
The Indications are that the board of in
quiry~ has concluded that Private Par
rett's death is chargeable to DR.. Tabor,
and that he will be required to stand tri-
al by court-martial As an evidence of
this, Secretary Alger today queried Adjt.
Gen. Corbin as to the liability of con-
tract surgeon in such case. and wheth-
er he could be tried by court-martial, be-
ing a civilian in the military service.
This question was referred by the ad-
lutant general TO Judge Advocate Cen
eral Lieber. This afternoon the latter
declared that DIR. Tabor could be court
martialed. He held that contract sur
geons, teamsters, and others who ac-
companied the army are subject TO mill
taTy law and trial.

CAN LEARN FROM AMERICANS
Admiral Cervera Tells His Country
men Some Plain Truths.

-
Admiral Cervera recently wrote an open
letter accepting the nomination which had
been rendered him to represent the dis
uiet of Ferrol as senator in the Spanish
Cortes. In this letter he outlines what
will be his future policy as a senator. He
announces that he will resign his commits
sion as an admiral in the Spanish navy,
preferring to spend the remainder of his
life as civilian. He believes that by as
sisting in making better laws for Spain
he can better advance the interests of the
Spanish people, whom he desires to serve.
In his letter Admiral Cervera also says
that he has learned much which will be
OF interest to Spain during the war be-
tween his country and the United States,
and especially while he was a prisoner in
the enemy's country. Spain, he says,
should learn many lessons by this war,
chief among them being that a change of
methods in the conduct of governmental
affairs-in fact, a change of policy in
ternally and externally-is what is most
desired TO advance the welfare of the
country. He declares that Spain is living
too much in the past, and that she must
develop her latent powers and resources
and again achieve her position at the head
Of all nations.
The admiral says 1t will be his purpose
as a member of the Cortes to advocate
such measures as viii bring about ref
ormation of the policy of the government,
and that in many things Spaniards can
Wei pattern after the Americans. He ad-
vises his countrymen to soon forget this
war and make haste to become friends
again with the Americans. In many
quarters Admiral Cervera has been
strongly censured since his return to
Spain for his expressions of friendship
toward the Americans, but, nevertheless,
he has a strong following, and By his
frankness and sincerity has created
among large number of people a diff
ferent impression regarding Americans
TO what was entertained before, even by
Cervera himself
