Why People Read Advertisements.
From Chi ago Times Herald.

From Chi ago Times Herald.
Referring to a change that has
taken place in the business of news
paper advertising, the Philadelphia
Record says:
"A few ears ago a great deal OF
ingenuity was wasted in f0oling
people into reading advertisements.
The commonest plan was to devise a
newspaper article which, beginning
as thrilling story, ended rs a fiat
advertisement. Few people, how
ever, read beyond the point where
the advertisement proper commence
ed. This method of obtaining read
ers soon fell into de5uetude, and the
ingenious advertiser now prints only
the advertise mant, but he makes the
'ad' so interesting that everybody
wants to read it"
Our contemporary has set forth
obly part of the truth. 1t is an un-
deniable fact that advertisers have
during the past few years made great
progress in the line of presenting
their claims attractively and In an
interesting manner. Many IF the
large firms employ men Of recog
nized ability as writers to attend TO
their advertising, and the result is
that the facts they have to lay before
the public are put concisely aud Of
ten with beauties OF style that would
be creditable to publications of lit
erary pretensions.
Aside from all this, however, is
the important fact that the public
has come to recognize the adver-
tiser as representative of the spirit
of progress. The man who adver
tises Is looked upon as the one who
Is doing business. People prefer to
deal with the merchant who Is not
afraid to let them know what
he has In stock or what his prices
are. They have learned that the
advertiser does not try to fill his es
tablisbment with wouid-be Gus
TONERS, only to send them away dis
appointed aud angry because of
MISREPRESENTATION The public has
learned that advertisers do not buy
space in newspapers for the mere fun
of telling fairy stories, and, most im
portant of all, it has come TO be un.
derstood oy people generally that
when an advertiser has bargains to
offer. mis- advertisement il published
not in his Interest only, but for the
benefit Of everyone who may be in
need uf any of the things he men
tions.
People read advertisements be
cause it pays them to do so, and be-
cause they have learned from Elk
periencs that advertisers, as n rule,
mean what they say in their pub
| lished announcements.

ish, Waiting for His Pardon.
At the main prison here, H Clay
King, the defendant in one of the most
famous murder trials in Tennessee, is
impatieutly waiting for his pardon to
come. He was committed to prison
Aug. IL, 1892, and almost Immediately
efforts began to be made to secure his
pardon and release from Prison. Petit
tons have been sent to every Admins
tration since then, but he has yet to re-
gain his liberty.
Last fall the Board of Pardons recon-
mended his pardon. Knowing that the
recommendation has been made, KING
thinks that the clemency should be exer-
cised, petitions TO the contrary notwith
standing. He is very old man now,
being in the neighbOrhood of 20. Old
age and brooding over his troubles have
made him very childish and impatient.
There have been some doubts expressed
as to his sanity. but these stories are
denied by the officials of the prison.
On account of his extreme age King is
not forced 10 work, and aside from the
childishness which he begins 10 show,
is doing well.-Nashville American.

SENATORIAL
PRIMARY.
MCMiIin Men Said to Be Working
For One.
Plan on Foot to Present It to the
State Convention Next Week.
Nashville American |

There is possibility that the people
of Tennessee will be afforded an OPP
portunity to express, through the
medium of popular vote, their
preference for the United United States
senatorship. This will be brought
around through a general senatorial
primary election to be held all over the
State, and under rules requiring that
all persons voting and participating in
the election shall be duly qualified voters
of the county in which they cast their
ballots.
The news of the senatorial primary
comes from the friends of Gov. McMil,
lin, and it is generally supposed that a
primary of the character would work to
the advantage of the Chief Executive,
while the supporters of Congressman
Carmack declare that they are not to be
hurt by move of this character, but
that, on the other hand, they would be
pleased tn allow the question of the
selection of United States Senator to
go before the people through a primary.
From all that could be learned upon
the subject last night, the plan, so far
worked out, is to induce and secure the
passage in the State convention next
week of -Nsolution providing for the
primary and setting forth the general
idea and coalitions under which it shall
be held. The matter has been dis
cussed and if the plan prevails in the
State convention, it is intended to call
lie on date after the fall elections
The primary will serve as an instruction
or suggestion to the Legislature from the
people, though that august body will be
in position, under the Constitution, e
take no cognizance of the primary vot,
or even to disregard the same. according
TO the desire Of the membership. Al
any rate, the primary plan is well under
way and is causing a great deal of quiet
talk among the State politicians.

Few books are so we'll adapted for

this volume. 1t is one of the best ex-
amples of Sir Walter Scott's literary
style, and contains faithful representa-
ton of the Wars Of the Crusades. 1t
reveals more clearly than any history
the conditions of life at that time and
shows how frequently cruelty and vio-

and generosity. The warlike and roman

NEW YORK, August ga Tribune
special from London says:
While India Is suffering from one of
the worst outbreaks of cholera ever
recorded, so that people are dying at
the rate of seven thousand week,
Great Britain is alarmed by the pros
pect of an epidemic of bubonic plague
within her own boundaries. The medi-
cal authorities at Glasgow have al
ready had several cases under their OBJ
servation. On Monday child sickened
and died within forty-eight hours from
an illness which was at first thought to
be pneumonia, but after minute ex-
animation by the hospital authorities
was pronounced plague. Another death
has occurred and ten families were re-
moved to reception house for patients
suffering from this disease which the
municipality has hastily established.
GLASGOW, Aug. 29.-Two girls and a
boy, members of isolated families, have
fallen victims of the bubonic plague,
though the medical authorities assert
that the attacks are less virulent than
in the cases which have already proved
fatal.
In the event of a further spread of
the disease, Glasgow shipping will be
quarantined.
