evening there was standing room

by the Wilbur Opera Company was
fully as much of a success as was the
opening performance. Balfe's beauti-
ful opera, The Bohemian Girl" was
given last night, and il can truthfully
be said that many companies, which
have come TO this city with a great
flourish of trumpets, have failed to give
as much satisfaction as the Wilbur
company did last night.
The beautiful melodies of the "Bohe-
mian Girl" popular as they are. were
rendered with a grea: deal of feeling.

SHUT EN- OUT.

frovldsnoe Defeat for Inc Latter.

Boston, June 15.-Haryard shut out
the Brown nine on Soldiers Fled yes
teriay afternoon in the neatest game
that has been seen in Cambridge this
season. The final score was 8 to 0, and
was made under unfavorable condi-
tions., In spite OF this fact the Crimson
was at it's best, and gave a gilt-edged
exhibition OF ball playing. Brown was
never dangerous and did not even come
near scoring at any time during the
nine innings. Harvard made up for the
defeat she suffered at the hands of

The game was delayed half an hour
on account OF the heavy shower which
sent the crowd of white gowns scurry-
ing across the field 10 the shelter OF the
Carey Building. A great many did not
come back, but there were 800 who
braved the stormy SKY and saw the
finish. The field was in wretched con-
dition for good bali playing when the
men came out again. Large puddles
OF water clung to the base lines and
bushels of sawdust were used to make
islands of the bases themselves. The
field was soaked and the pitchers be-
gan with a slippery bail. Nevertheless
the conditions did not affect the play
ing TO the slightest degree apparently.
Both mines played without errors and
the Harvard infeli was especially fast.
In centre and left Loughlin and Sears
made two beautiful running catches

Hon. Horace White of the New
York Evening Post, admits that
the negro problem may become Sc
rious in the south, but says he
knows of no soution-that deporta-
tion is not feasible, and that proba-
bly, matter will not be so bad when
white immigration makes this sec
tion outnumber the blacks in popu-
latiou. He did not consider the
many fiendish crimes that negroes
commit, nor the further fact that
while they pay less than one-tenth
of the taxes, cause four ffths of
the expense of government, by the
numerous crimes they commit. Also
in many places they use up over
half of the school fund. AS long as
these conditions exist, just that
long will there be serious race

ADVERTISING PAYS.
All shrewd and Successful Business
Men Know This

There is no investment that pays
as well as iudicious advertising.
All shrewd and successful business
men understand and appreciate
this fact, but the masses of the
people engaged in business pursuits
do not, and to this ignorance to
large extent, may be attributed
their failure to succeed.
All persons who have grown rich
in mercantile pursuits say without
hesitation that their success is due
as much to intelligent advertising
as to careful attention to business
in other respects and one of the
most striking examples of what has
been accomplished by advertising
is furnished by John Wannamaker
the great millionaire merchant.
He has had for years a most gigan-
tic business built up by letting the
world know who he is and what be
has to sell and what he expects to
get for it, and Mr., Wannamaker is
still advertising, not on such a
large scale, perhaps, as in former
years, but one can scarcely pick up
a prominent metropolitan newspa-
per without seeing an advertise
ment inserted by John Wdnnamak-
er. He has paid out hundreds of
thousands of dollars to newspapers
and his returns have amounted to
millions. He now has a net income
of So, OOO,O 900 annually,
All business men cannot hope to
achieve the success that has crowA-
ed Mr.. Wannamakers efforts, but
his example as an advertiser is GER
tainly worthy of emulation. Money
paid out in the right sort of ad
vertising by the merchant or man
engaged in any other business pur-
suit, however small, could not be
more advantageously expended.
Those who are Indifferent on the
subject of advertising attempt to
console themselves with the errou.
eous idea that the general public
does not read the newspaper adver-
tisements The fallacy of this the
ory is every day demonstrated by
the quick responses to insignifi-
cant notices inserted in the news
papers.
IT may be stated without the
fear of successful contradiction
that there is no business man living
today who ever accumulated a
fortune who was not liberal ad-
vertiser -Ex.

The State Line hog made a deep
er impression on our minds this
morning as to the display and au.
thority he makes of his hogship
than he ever has heretofore. As
we were skipping along the walk at
a considerable speed, thinking pos
sibly, of something that should not
have had possession of our mind,
our eyes came in contact with a
large uncommon looking bulk, when
we discovered thati was a 200 or 800
pound hog, seemingly, fully enjoy.

front porch Of cottage, He look.
ed as though he felt very dignided, as

to come upon him-he has a very
high estimation Of his hogship--
even where he sleeps.
