THE LATE RoBT. BONNER

The career of Robert Bonner.
whose death was announced in
TUE SUN Yesterday morning,
illustrates what IA man can
accomplish by his own efforts.
He started the publication of Il
journal with a capital stock of
one English sovereign and
under his management it grew
into one of the most profitable
properties in the land. He at
tributed his great success large
ly To advertising Mr.. Bonner
in speaking of the prosperity of
his paper, at the time of his
retirement, 10 or - years ago,
said
"Judicious advertising, that
is the main secret. ! was the
first To fill two, four or eight
pages of a great newspaper
with my advertisement. Ii pays.
If il did not | would not be able
to retire to-day with the com
potency | have. Get the best
Then let the people know YOU
have il.
Like most other men. Mr..
Bonner had a hobby and his
hobby was the fast trotter. In
$50 he bought his first fast
horse. one that could trot Il
mile inside of 230. Then there
were only 10 horses in America
that could do it. Now the
number is many thousands. He
never ran Il horse race for
money and never encouraged
betting. but he spent 5000, 900
in buying fast horses and was
as well known as the owner of
Dexter, Rarus, Maud 5. and
Sunol as he was as a publisher.
He was not generally known as
a philanthrophist. although he
gave a million dollars for
religion and charity. - Baltimore

AT one of the High School

speaker advised the girl grad
yates against becoming the
"manish women of the period. "
and the editors of the MEssEN-
GER say Amen If there is
anything that gives us that
tired feeling il is to see one who
would otherwise be a sweet
lovable woman, making an
everlasting fool of herself by
aping her stronger but less

THE thing that is best known
about affairs in the PHILIPPINES
is that we do not know the
truth about them. This Adj
ministration has undertaken TO
institute and enforce a censor
ship of the press with respect
TO those islands that is utterly
un- American and insolently
tyrannous. Ii is a gross inn
propriety in a free government.
Nothing like il exists outside
of absolute monarchies and

chance to give Welly appro-

The reasonable information
that Gov. Lowndes was going
to st. Louis to suppress the
Trusts has sent a chill to the
ice Trust to smoke up. Our
Governor belonging as he does
to one of the biggest political
Trusts, ever sprung on this
State, is slightly handicapped
as "A Trust Killer, but still we
have no doubt he, like the rest
of his cronies, will know ex-
actly what should be done and
how il will be done at the same
time not forgetting to remark
that il cannot be done for the
present. He can hardly be
sincere in his attitude. He
conducts his office as "A branch
Of the McRing Trust with an
eye single to the retention of
his own salary. He does not
pretend to be actuated by any
principal but the putting in
Office of men branded o. X. by
the Boss. and his sole, carking
anxiety is that the Boss may
demand soft place or two now
held by the Governors personal

the people of Maryland will
first upset, substituting gov
eminent by the people, and
then come laws regulating or
effacing, the operations of the

The Philipsburg mail., 1899-10-20

Among ignorant people of English
birth it is fully believed that a wife
bought with money or goods is legally
married if the purchaser leads her all
the way home by halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, tells Of a village poet known
to him who bought wife for a half
crown and led her - miles to his cot
tage.
The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded.
"Why, yes l be-" he replied. "I'll
take my Bible oath | never cnce took
the halter off till she'd crossed the door
sill and the door was shut.
The latest instances of such wife sales
occurred in 1853 and 1853, when wom-
en- We're sold in Little Horton and in
Dudley. In these cases a blue ribbon
took the place Of the straw halter.
But, gentle ladies, the symbolic idea
was the same.
