THE NEW YORK WORLD,
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Practically a Daily at the Price of a
Weekly.

The striking and important vents
of the past year have establishe. the
overwhelming value of the Thrice-a-
Week World to every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its
subscribers informed of the progress
of all our wars, and, moreover, has
reported them as promptly as if it
were daily. With our interests still
extending throughout the world, with
our troops operating in the Philip
pines, and the great presidential cam
paign, too, at hand, its value is furth-
er increased.
The motto of the Thrice-a-Week
World is improvement. 1t strives each
year to be better than it was the year
before, and public confidence in it is
shown by the fact that it now circu-
lates more than twice as many papers
every week as any other newspaper,
not a daily, published in America.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
and the Wellington Enterprise to-
gether one year for $1.65.
The regular subscription price of
the three papers is $3.50. The We'll
