Newspaper Advertising the Best.

Newspaper Advertising the Best.
The consensus of opinion favors
newspaper advertising above all
other forms. In no other way
can the merchant reach the peo-
pie he wants to patronize his store
so cheaply and effectively. In
the respectable newspaper there
is nothing to offend good taste.
The newspaper gets into the
homes of the people, where all
members of the family read the
advertisements. The paper is
purchased by the head OF the
house, and the advertisements
are a part of his purchase. The
newspaper advertisement has a
value that no other form of adver-
tising possesses. Mex Keesport

NAVY MAKES ATTACK.
The Forts Of New London District
ware severely Bombarded. But
They .eturn The Fire.

New London, Conn, September g.
Carly this morning the naval enemy
made it's third attack on the forts of the
New London district. 1t is said to have
been the most effective as wei as most
spectacular move that has taken place
since the manouevreS began. 1he nrlng
began at 4:50 and continued almost IN
cessantly for two hours, being directed
at Fort Wright, Fishers Island. The
attacking squadron was composed OF
the battleships Kearsarse, Alabama
Massachusetts and Indiana Just as
soon as the first ship was IN firing dls-
tance she was fired upon from Fort
Niche, but no attention was paid to
this warning, for the ships came right
along heading in the direction of Fort
Wright, it seemingly being the purpose
to capture that strongly fortified place
believed to be capable with the aid oi
forts Niche and Terry, of coping with
the strongest fleet afioat.
A determined attack was made or
Fort Wright, and the firing from the
guns and mortarS of the fort was kept
up necessarily, as the four shirs formed
in line of battle and sailed slowly by
the fort exchanging shot fo- shot, as
far as possible. The firing was kept VI
for about half an hour, when the ships
sailed we'll out towards the Race again
the defenders believing that the ships
were to retreat in the direction whence
they came.
Suddenly the ships turned again and
made a vigorous attack Oh Fort Wright
this time attempting to make landing
One of the ships drew IN pretty close tc
the fort. and with rapid ire guns Gov.
cred the landing party, but in opposition
to this movement the Gatling guns al
the fort were brought into requisitior
and the landing party was evidently re-
PEELED, or rather that particular phase
of this attack was not considered sue
cesSful.
After the conclusion of this second at
tack, the ships steamed out into the race
and back in the direction of Block Is
land.
The result of the conflict viii not be
known until after the umpIres report
and perhaps it will be the occasion OF
much discussion on the part Of the
board of arbitration.
