A GREAT NEWSPAPER.
The Pittsburg Gazette one of the most
Progressive Publications in Exis-
tence.

Since the present proprietors as
sumed charge of the Pittsbarg Gazette
a transformation in the character OF
the paper has been effected Ultra
conservatism had characterized the
Gazette for many years., Now its
chief Characteristic is progressiveness.
Much money is being spent to keep it
in the forefront of the country's most
enterprising publications, and the
way the circulation has increased I'M
der the new management must be
very gratifying to those directly In
Uerested.
A record has already been made by
the Sunday Gazette. Although it is
the latest Sunday paper in this field
the bona tide circulation approximates
so, 600. The only explanation of this
is found 10 the superior character Of
the exclusive features of the Sunday
Gazette. The management logically
reasoned that the public could be per-
suaded to buy the new paper in pref
erence to all Others only by Offering
something better than the other Sun
day papers contained. So they reso-
lutely set about obtaining high priced
talent wherever it was available, till
now the Sunday Gazettes staff is the
talk of newspaper people everywhere.
Both writers and artists of high re-
pute are contributing to the pages of
this interesting publication every
week.
The engagement of Josiah Flynt to
investigate the 'Under World" was a
characteristic stroke on the part of
the Gazette. Mr., Flynt's series of ar
ticles on the "Caicial Protection of
Vice in Pittsburg and Allegheny has
proved the greatestesb newspaper sen
sation of years. The series appeared
exclusively in the Sunday Gazette.

PORT JEFFERSON.
The Vote Cast There Wednesday
on the Wet and Dry Ques-
ton Was a Tie.

The village of Port Jefferson, just
over the line in Shelby county, voted
upon the wet and dry question Wednes.
day, and the result was ties dry,
as wet.
The village has always been wet, and
this leaves it wet for two years more,
as tie fails TO carry the prohibition OF
the traffic.
Rev. d. G. Hall pastor Of the NJ. E.
church OF the place, was at the head OF
the movement to make the place dry,
and to his earnest efforts and his zeal
can be given the credit Of changing the
village from the wet to the doubtful
column.
Both sides expected to have a ma
jority vote, but they did not claim
much of a margin. The vets hold the
fort, but the agitation has helped the
temperance cause.
