Some Slang OF the Day.

From New York Commercial Advertiser.
Where does the slang of the day origi-
nate? When a new verbal monstrosity
comes into currency its origin is as mys-
terious as its effect is startling On a roof
garden last night weary-looking youth
in straw hat that had seen better days
and with tell-tale puffs beneath his eyes.
released two straws from his mouth long
enough to remark, languidly, that he was
suffering from horrible case of the ding
bats His companion, who looked like
vaudeville lady. had just remarked in
tone loud enough to be heard by her
neighbors, that one of the performers was
"a useless bunch Of trousers" One meant
that his head ached, the other that the
object Of her criticism was professionally
incompetent It's a great language.

Advertising His Success.

Mr.. Bonner was probably the originator
of the modern system of ADVERTISE 3 This
he began when he first started the Led

was the owner of a commercial paper. In

once l made a contract with the Tr-
bune to place an advertisement in the
daily. semi-weekly and weekly editions.
After il appeared in the daily, Mr.. Greeley
objected TO its going in the weekly; he
thought it would take too much space.
The Weekly Tribune in those days had
the largest circulation of any paper in
the country. Mr.. Greeley said TO me: We
will not carry out chat contract, but the
page you have had in the daily edition
you can have for nothing. I had made
the contract with his publisher.
The editor of the Herald, who was I'M
doubtedly the greatest journalist this
country ever produced, speaking to Mr..
Hudson, his managing editor, about the
Tribune's action in this matter said: We
can give an advertiser all the space he
wants l heard of this remark. and call

son. did Mr. Bennett say so and 500 He
said, Yes If you want an extra quantity

him: Tell him I will take the whole pa

got out a sixteen page paper; 1 had five
pages of advertising on one sheet and
three on another.
"When ! began to advertise one page
some people would say: oh, that is throw

say: oh, he knows what he is about
When 1 advertised two pages some of my

eight-page sheet at that time) people

The Use of Capitals.
"On another occasion, after the Herald
had printed an eight-page advertisement
Mr.. Hudson said to me: Mr.. Bonner, the
editor of the Herald objects to your using

were very particular about display lines;
they would give you the capitals of agate

the best display, I would use the checker

THE LATE ROBERT BONNER.
How Advertising Made Fortune for
Him-His Horses.
From the Baltimore Amerlcan.

From the Baltimore American.
Robert Bonner was born in the north
of Ireland, near Londonderry, on April
%, 1924. He was brought to America
whilst yet a child, and was educated in
CONNECTICUT. Showing liking for the
printers trade, he was placed in the Of
flee of the Hartford Courant, where he
learned to set type. He soon became
known as the best and quickest workman
in Hartford, and UPON one occasion set
the astonishing number OF LOO ems an
hour.
In 1874 he went to New York and worked
on the American Republican,. and after
the collapse of that journal on the Even
ing Mirror. He received charge of the
Merchants Ledger, and this became the
New York Ledger of to-day. After SUI
perintending the Ledger for short time
MIR. Bonner bought it, At that time New
York had no literary journals Phladel-
phia and Boston being recognized as the
literary CenJers.
When Mr.. Bonner announced his inten-
ton to make a literary weekly of the
Ledger his failure was predicted bv all
At that time Fanny Fern was at the hight
of her popularity, and Mr.. Bonner en-
gagged her to write for the Ledger at 800
column. He advertised this fact every
where.
The announcements of his papers were in
almost every journal in the land. The
method was new, and the sales of the
Ledger were enormous AT the time when
Harpers Weekly was announced 10 make
its first appearance, those who looked
upon Mr.. Bonner's methods as those of
the cheat and charlatan predicted his
downfall. But Bonner was equal to the
emergency, and wrote and paid for adver-
tisements in all the leading newspapers
that repeated Buy Harper's Weekly"
Buy Harper's Weekly" ad minimum.
Every one was astonshed Surely. if the
conservative house of Harper Brothers
would advertise like this, then Mr.. Bon
ner's methods must be legitimate.
That settled the vexed questions and
placed the name of the Ledger on the same
plane as Harper's Weekly. Mr. Bonner
engaged the foremost writer's of the day
and stories by Edward Everett, Alice and
Phoebe Cary, II. w. Beecher James Cor

ONE GENT
THE JUDGESH|P VACANCY.
l. THOMAS JONES is MEN
TONED
As Judge Roberts Successor, But Win
Not Accept If Named Indications
That The Governor Will Not
Fill The Vacanav
FIJI The Vacancy.

Theie IS no likelihood of the Governor
appointing successor to Chief Judge
Roberts. Only seven weeks intervenes
between now and the day OF election,
and rs the people in the Fifth Judicial
Circuit. which takes in Anne Arundel.
Howard and Carroll counties, will then
decide upon Judge Roberts successor,
there is no need OF haste in filling the
vacancy.
II was intima,ed yesterday that the
Governor might appoint Associate Judge
|. Thomas Jones Chief Judge. This is
not likely to happen, inasmuch as Judge
Jones would not accept. Il he did take
1t he would necessarily have to resign as
Associate Judge. and should he then fail
OF election, would be left out entirely
Besides. if the Republicans should be
successful they would gain not only
Chief Judge, but an Associate Justice as
we'll. Under these circumstances. Judge
Jones would not accept an appointment
at this time.
There is every reason 10 believe, how
ever. that he will be nominated by his
party for Chief Judge, and in case of
election will resign as associate. leaving
to the Governor the appointment to I'LL
the vacancy until the next election. The
Democrats say he need not necessarily
qualify until after Colonel Smith quail
hes, provided, OF course, the Democrats
should carry the State. Should Governor
Lowndes win he might enter upon his
duties Immediately. Judge Jones is one
of the most popular jurists on the bench.
and when last elected tor second term
had no opposition, the Republicans en-
dorsing his nomination. For this reason
the Democrats prefer TO make him their
candidate. believing he would strength
en- their ticket. There is no telling just
what action will be taken. The Carroll
county leaders discussed the matter in
formally yesterday, but reached no def
mite conclusion.

THE MAN ABOUT Town.
What He Secs and Hears In a Days
Walk,


The clsverness of school children is
again on top. A teacher in town, max
ing the best use of school time before the
books were given out for this year S work.
placed upon the blackboard a number OF
words to be used in sentences, and for
conversational work. Among the words
was "fort. 1--WE have been talking a
great deal about forts Of late, said the
teacher. "now who can tell me what a
fort is 7" Up went the hands, and one
bright little fellow was called upon for
the answer. "A fort. he said, sis a
place where the soldiers live. "Now."
said the teacher. "who can tell me what
a fortress is?" Up went the hands again.
and this time little girl was called upon.
.'Well. what is fortresss" the teacher
asked the little girl. "A fortress" was
the response. "is place where soldiers
wives live.
"Now there is chance for some in
ventive mind to make money. said a
railroad man. "ln what way !? was the
query of the gentleman to whom the rail-
road man was speaking. "Well. you
see" was the response, "lhe question OF
en- railroad ties. For substitute some.
thing we must. The forests are being
laid waste. timber is growing less plenti-
full. the supply scarcely equaling the de-
mand. Now when one considers there
are more than 2oo, 900 miles OF railroad
in this country, and $500 ties in every
mile, the anthmeiical calculator can very
readily determine that. this is not far
away from the hundred million ties in
use all the time. This, OF course. does
not include side trackings. Now these
ties are being replaced by newer ones
constantly, and you can see what a null
titude of them are needed. Therefore, |
say. if some ingenious mind can think OF
something that may be substituted for
the timber ties, with equal usefulness.
there is fortune in il. Iron would not
do, it would not have the spring; alumni
mum will not suffice. Now the burning
question is. what will throw this out
as feeler. and some of you fellows of
inventive genius may lie awake nights
thinking about it. It's a good scheme
and there's money in it--dead loads to
the fellow that hits the nail on the head,
or the tie on the rail.
