THE AD MANS TALK

Results from good advertising are
practically incalculable
Not many days ago. four young men
came down town one Saturday night
with the idea OF doing little shop
ping. They wondered where they would
so, and finally decided to 60 to a FUR
nishing store which advertised regu-
larly. They were strangers in the town
but had been reading the newspapers
When they entered the store they ex-
pected to buy very little-probably the
total Of their intended purchases would
have been less than a dollar. As a mat
ter Of fact. ten dollars would not have
covered their actual expenditure.
IT Is this way with most advertise
ing. II the merchant can attract peo-
pie to his store by advertising some
special thing. he is very sure to be the
gamer, even though he make no profit
on the thing advertised. II has been
proven so often, that II is hardly worth
while TO repeat II.
The advertising must be backed by
careful store service-in Wilmington as
well as in other places.

The plight OF Estes c. Rathbone Is pc
culiar n not unique. Cnder American
authority he was tried for an alleged
crime IN foreign land He was tried un-
der foreign laws. BY processes which he
declares to have been clearly illegal, he
was pronounced guilty ana sentenced to
punishment. on the ground that 1t would
be tantamount 20 an acknowledgement Of
guilt, he refused to accept pardon, but
was released by the terms OF general
amnesty bill Though branded as feion.
he asserts his innocence. and Is demanding
from the Congress Of his own country a
fun investigation Of all 'his acts In Cuba.
Notwithstanding tho verdict Of the Gu
ban Court. there are many, both IN this
country and In Cuba. who have never be-
lieved that Rathbone Is guilty man. The
!ato senator Hanna stood his unsworving
tricad with full belief in his Innocence Of
any crime. Mr.. Hanna was authority for
the statement that the late President Nc
kfnley agreed with him On that belief
When the details Of the trial were laid be-
fore President Roosevelt IN May, 1902. Mr.
Roosevelt instructed the Secretary OF War
TO authorize General Wood 20 amend the

Court Of the island into a trial court for
the purpose Of rehearing Of the case.
The passage II the Amnesty bill and the
withdrawal Of American authority from
The island doharred Rathbone from the al
vantagcs of such a rehearing.
The arguments submitted by Rathbone
ana his frlends have convinced many that
whether he Is innocent or guilty, there
were features in his trial which would not
have been tolerated IN any American
count, and which were subversive of all
rieht and justice and a clear 1nfraction OF
both the lettcr und the prnclp,es of law.
either in Cuba or IN the United States.
The guNt or Innocence OF Mr.. Rath-
bone Is determinable only by a full and
fair hearing before an impartial body OF
his own counuymen. For nearly two
years he has insisted upon his right tc
such a hearing as an American cltlzon.
lf he Is sufficiently convinced OF tho jus.
tice OF hiss demand and OF his ab.lity tc
demonstrate his Innocence TO risk a con.
nrmauon'of the Cuban verdict by an Of
fetal investigation here. it would seem n,
more than an act OF right and justice &,
eive him an opportunity 90 relieve him
self OF the stigma OF crime which nov
rests upon him.

Leroy ]. Frenoh's revival OF Mugg's

day afternoon. Mr.. French has practlcal-
" changed the production from comedy

added a chorus Of tall and stately girls.
There are musical specialties and excel
lent costumes. The company presenting
the comedy has been well selected and
considering that the performances yester-
day were the first everything moved re-
markably smooth. lola Pomeroy as Little

good work. The same company will ap-

OPINION
a Morlbund AlIinnoe.

From the Baltimore American.
Signor Iitoni, the Italian Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, and Count Goluchow-
sky, Austria- Hungary's Foreign Minis
ter, are TO meet az Abbazia to confer
upon Balkan affairs. This seems to be
the basis upon which has been con-
structed The ambitious story of crown-
ing OF the Triple Alliance by the meet
ings Of kings and emperors on the
shores OF the Bay Of Fiume. The raison
d'ctre for the latter is not apparent
The Triple Alliance In everything ex-
cept name Is a back number. 10 which
from time to time allusion is made for
consistcncy's sake. The crowned
heads do not care to admit that
structure reared with such pains by
their august selves was failure
shortly after q was created.
There is nothing which the three
members Of the moribbund alliance can
do In unison which cannot be safely
participated in by the whole Of Eur
ope. For many years Austria Hungary
has regarded Germany with suspicion
and distrust, and long since Italy
learned that there was nothing In such
a compact for her except expense and
lNAis toAN htn VI idNt wisely I'Alitu Hti
fortunes with France and England,
where safety lies and expenses will be
met by the stronger parties. The alli-
ance was spectacular IN its origin, but
has lately resembled damp fireworks
which command the ridlcule rather
than the admiration and dread OF Eur
ope.
There Is a strong reason for the
meeting OF the italian and Austro- Hun
garian Ministers. Italy is said to have
taken over the onerous duties OF Rus
sla in the Balkans; In fact. Il has been
reported that she will take upon her.

Hungary was the partner of Russia in
this so-called pacific venture It is ma

spatched to the scene OF contention.

sEEklNa rHE oAusE

There are conflicting reports as to
the rapidlty OF the fire on the Missouri
at the time OF the fearful disaster. Dis
patches from Pensacola state that the
rate was very rapid, indicating that the
officers were trying to establish a speed
record. Color Is given to this by the
fact that recently the speed tests OF
the sister ship, Alabama. also Off PEN
sacola. were published.
On the other hand. the Navy Depart
ment claims that at the time OF the
explosion the guns OF the Missouri were
being discharged only at about half
speed. OF course there viii be a rigid
investigation and the facts Of the case
must be determined.
But suppose Il turns out that there
was an effort by rapid firing to create
a new record Tor speed-what theng
such records must be established Ac-
curacy IN marksmanship is essential
and the superiority Of American gun
ners is undoubtedly due 10 much prac-
tice. But rapidity OF fire is equally inn
portant, and accuracy coupled with
speed may be secured only through
much practice.
There is Just one thing that must be
determined; was there any earelessness
or rashness due to Ignorance or other
causes? And in answering that ques-
tion It is well to remember that It is
inconceivable that the officers and men
would wantonly put their lives as well
as the ship in jeopardy.
