The stairway leading up to the top
of the Washington monument has been
impossible with soldiers for a couple
of weeks past. Not one in ten Of the
soldiers will ride up in the elevator.
and the soldier who does takes the
elevator is called a "slob" by his COM
rades. The men who have had their
hats thrown out of the windows of the
monument by skylarking comrades
haven't appeared to enjoy this game
very much, especially the searching for
their chapeauX after tn , descent.
It Is not characteristic Of men who
comprise an urban population to run
to fires The soldiers Who are now
focking through the streets of Wash
ington don't pretend to metropolitan
ways. This explains why so many Of
them, when they see fire engine rae
ing along the street, take to their heels
and follow 1t. There hasn't been a
miniature blaze in Washington for
several weeks past that has not been
witnessed by Q knot Of painting SOL

Thousands Of the soldiers have rest
ed their weary limbs in the seats Of
the galleries of the two houses of Con-
gress since the camp was established
across the way. The men occupy them
selves chiefly in picking out the repre-
sentatives from their own states, and
when they have focused them In their
vision they do not take their eyes off
them while they remain. 1t is not to
be supposed that the representatives on
the floor do not know that the SOL
diers from their districts are watch
ing them studiously either. The rep
resentatives know that soldiers write
letters home, especially when they
haven't much else to do, and a good

The Largest on Record.

The American Tobacco Co. believes in
advertising and in newspaper advertising.
The American Tobacco Go. is a vast
commercial concern, and its recent appro-
priation of $750,00O, to by spent in news
papers in the advertising of one of its
brands Battle AK" Plug Tobacco-is
worthy of more than passing comment.
To expend this amount of money judi
ciously is problem. This will be obvi-
Gus to any advertiser. Its solution is
therefore instructive to every merchant and
producer who has need OF publicity for his
business welfare.
This, then. was the determination finally
reached. The detail necessary to the
har ding OF this volume of business de-
mauded the experience and equipment OF
an Advertising Agency of the first class.
Tho G. H. Haulenbeck Advertising
Agency Of New York City was therefore
selected, and estimates we're prepared to
cover the entire country for such mediums
as were thought to be desirable to bring
quick and sure returns.
In this connection it is certainly pardon
able for the TIMES to call attention to the
fact that the TIMES was included in the
list
There is point to be made just here,
and it is that if the "foreign" advertiser
having practically unlimited means and
exercising Judgment born of years Of
experience, decides upon given medium,
it is because of the excellence of that par
ticular medium, for the field that it covers.
Local advertisers will do well to refec,
on this point. 1t is pregnant with mean
ing to every one of them.
The American Tobacco Co. has taken
the dull season, which was made duller by
the timid who feared the war as factor in
business, and it has given colossal order
a. an indication that, if times are dull, the
thing to do is to make them brighter, and
the right way to make them brighter j:
through judicious advertising.
Newspaper advertising is the best way
to make good times if you have anything
really good to offer, ard the way to use
newspaper advertising is with generou.
space and proper display.
1t was P. I. Barnum who said: "I
you only have $40 capital to begin you
business, and want to make money, bs
sure to spend IS in advertising in the
newspapers"

Death of S. c. Shurtleff.

Stephen c. Shurtleff, prominent lawyer
of Montpelier, died Saturday afternoon Of
Shurtleff had been seriously i'll for several
weeks, and since his return from Saratoga,

since 1876 had been a resident of Montpelier.
He was particularly we'll known as corpor-
alton lawyer and his practice extended to

FIERCE GAME OF BALL.
One of the heaviest games of ball of the
season was played Saturday between the
hard fought innings resulted in tie. The
players were preceded to and from the
grounds by band though small in number
the musicians were thoroughly imbued with
enthusiasm for their chosen profession and
the onlookers did not regret that the mem
bershIp was small.
The members of the clubs were arrayed in
all the pomp and splendor of silk hats and
linen busters, of all lengths and sizes, and a.
together presented an appearance OF gentlllty
seldom seen in these days except at 4th OF
July celebrations. The playing was prodigl-
Gus and some of the onlookers in the vast au-
der ce averred that the playing in the league
games did not equal it and many times was
entirely different.
On returning from the field of battle the
| married men who seemed to have appropri
| ated to themselves all the fruits of victory,
rode around the square amid the deafening
| strains of music, all the while making appro
pirate remarks in stentorian tones such as
"What's the matter with Grafton :" "She':
| all right; all the while emphasizing theii
| remarks with violent contOrtions of the body
that would have done credit to dancing
dervish,a altogether the honors of doubtful
victory were never louder proclaimt d. W.
hope another game will be arranged in the
| near future.
