The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1898-10-18

The hebdomadal periodicity OF
mems constitution has been fully
recognized by science and con-
firmed by experience. Wise Legis-
latures have made laws in accord
ance Herewith and the Council
will see that they are regarded.
The people will uphold the Council
in their righteous work. Hands
off, please. ~

"UNO" SPOUTS.

depraved and inconsistent manner
Still we have fond hopes that he
may yet be brought over to the
side of law and morals.
He comedies that it would not
be wise to have the saloons in our
city open on Sunday" But he
considers the acme of cruelty to
prevent the tobacco users from
supplying themselves on Sunday,
and ungallant to deny the ladies
their soda and chewing gum. He
charges US with breaking the ordi-
nance the first Sunday that it went
into effect. While it pains us to
refer to matters so delicate, still in
justice to our cause and to ourselv-
es we state the facts: We were lat
church when Mr.. R. G. Lloyd re-
quested US to print funeral notices
for his father in-law, the lamented
Ellis Dean, who was to be buried
the next day. We did not hest
tate because it was a necessity.
Over death we have no control.
We had no blinds to shield us from
the outside gaze, neither did we
want them for the law recognizes a
necessity. The point we would
emphasize is: "Uno" would make
the impression that we were work
ing in violation of the law, when
he should have known we were but
carrying out the very letter of the
law. For Judge Ben R. Turner,
the owner of the Sentinel-Demo-
crat passed by about the time we
had completed the work and said
"Violating the Sunday lawH" We
replied by handing him a funeral
notice. "Uno's" charge is there
fore vile and calumnious.
"Uno" is no hypocrit, no, no, no,
not that, for a hypocrit is one who
would fain do or advocate some
thing he does not believe himself,
but thinks man would do or COM
mend; while "Uno" brazingly as
sails a law given by God and en-
forced by the moral and upright
Mayor, Councilmen and citizens of
our city.
''Uno" cites the fact that Cervera
vas defeated by Schley on Sunday
Is an argument against Sunday
closing. Let us examine the facts
md compare: Cervera was the ag- .
Iressor. Schley was forced lit {
vas necessity to fight on Sunday

BOOK SALES IN THE FIFTIES.
Big Editions of Books That Are Lit
tie Read Now.
Chicago Evening Post.


When the publishers sell 10000 or So 900
copies of single work they are pretty apt
to tell US about 1t and to intimate that
these are great days for the book trade and
for the particular authors they are exploit
ing. We are afraid, however, that these
constantly recurring revolutions are not so
revolutionary after all. Passing over the
great writer's of the past whose works have
had phenomenal sales, we find others whose
popularity is surpriising, Maria Cummings's
lished in Boston in 1854, sold 10000 copies
within eight weeks and reached 10000 with
in a year. In 1850 Susan Warner published
1.-The Wide. Wide World The figures for
the sale that year are not at hand, but sew
eral successive editions were called for, and
by April, 1860, the total sales amounted 10
10000 copies.
"Queechy." which was published by the
same author in 1852, had a similar success
and later and less popular work, THE
Hills of the Shatemuc," sold 10000 the day
of publication.
To the same period with Miss Cummings
and Miss Warner belongs Mrs. Stowe. We
all understand the special reason why
Uncle Toms Cabin had such ire
that while it was in such great demand the
other books were being called for in a way
that would delight the authors and pub
first\ran as a serial and was published in
book form in 1852. The sales in the United
States amounted to 100 COO for the first eight
weeks. to 100000 within a year and to $4,000
by April 2S 1853. During the first year more
than 100000 copies of the book were sold
tions into almost all known tongues. The
total sales are beyond calculation. because
it is impossible TO keep track of the num-
erous editions
The prestige gained by this book assured
Mrs. Stowe a hearing. whatever she might

The same law of self-preservation de-
mands the losing of lfe'' in the interest
of all parts of the world. Nothing is more
evident than that inactivity in this broad
er sphere would mean our own eventual self
destruction. Commerce and invention have
made Us neighbors of all distant lands.
Touched TO new life by commercial rela-
tons, equipped with modern inventions,
armed with modern implements of warfare
they will become a menace to our own land
if not transformed by and won over to our
gospel.
If, then, there were no other argument,
the law of self-preservation should make
us helpers all in redeeming to the standard
of the cross all nations of men.
Life sought, in selfish Indifference to the
welfare or happiness of others, is soon lost
in the struggle for existence. Life lost in
the service of Christ and the holy cause
OF humanity, has attained a vantage ground
of security for time and eternity.

others on "flimsy," with the carbon paper
between them. On Friday night, Mr.. How

twenty-five carbon sheets and placed them

his newspaper as regular copy, while the
first was given TO the Journal on Saturday
morning. The other twenty-three lie on his
desk as this is written. and any one of
them is as good as any of the copy sent out
work.
After having taken this book of manifolds
Mr.. Howard asked other cities if they had
known anything of the sort ever being done
on regular rubber-roll machine, and they
said they had not Indeed. the fact that
this was done on common machine and
