Advertising Logic.

Suppose, just suppose, that two
clothiers-merchauts of, say equal
standing and prestige-should
equally divide between them
selves a large stock of goods,
thus Offering to the public stocks
of equal value and size. Klt
Suppose that the two merchants
had an advertisement in the
same newspaper-theV were
practically alike in text-matter
prices and the description OF
the goods indentical-duplicated
verbatim.
But suppose that the mere
hant confines his advertisement
70 one column of space in the
newspaper, and the other used a
whole page or twice the space.
In there any doubt in any ones
mind about what the result would
be? Would any one imagine for
q minute that the merchant who
used the column space would do
the volume of business the mer.
chant who used the large space
would. little consideration to it
surely that the advertiser who
gives too ness as we'll as in state
craft, did-even though every
thing else were equal.
Most experienced advertisers
will agree that in this kind of a
case the results would be nearly
ia direct proportion to the space
used.
Size is still so much a factor in
this world-it decides so many,
many things in the world of busi-
ness success in the race to ac-
complish.
In many, very many cases and
Instances the mere doubling of the
size of space occupied by store
advertisement in this newspaper
ould double or more the store
ales resulting from the adver-
ement will not "stand.out" in
Il eye-catching thought-atten-
lon, compelling way, if it is
owded for space-too small
pe-if it lacks "elbow-room".
The wise merchant-advertiser
Who has learned things from ex-
erience about printers ink and
publicity is as careful to provide
pace in which the ad is to appear
il to provide the contents there
I'D.
Make the text-matter forceful,
truthful, convincing and sale-in-
lucing ia value and quality but
above everything consider, and
most carefully, the space. Get
anough-plenty of space is really
the cheapest.

SUPREME COURT TERMS.

The first of the additional terms
of the supreme court appointed for
this county of Richmond will open in
the court house at Richmond next
Monday, with Judge Townsend Scud-
der on the bench. Deputy Sheriff c.
A. Simonson, of this place, has com
pleted his work of serving the notices
for the grand and petit jurors drawn
last week. When the grand jury con-
venes probably their first duty will
be to hear evidence in the ase of
James Bell. charged by the coroner's
jury with the murder of DR.. Charles
w. Townsend several months ago.
About a week ago Bell was examined
as to his sanity by DR.. P%ritschard at
the request of District Attorney
Kenny. 1t will depend largely upon
the report of DR.. Pritchard. the in
sanity expert, whether he will be in
dicted or not. He has not sent his
report to District Attorney Kenny.
If it favors insanity, a commission
will be appointed and he will not be
tried.

PLEASANT PLAINS.
PUSSY WILLOW SOCIAL -
WAS a GREAT SUCCESS.

The pussy willow social held al
the home of Mrs. d. w. Winant, III
Amboy avenue, under the auspices OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, Monday night, proved to be a
most successful affair, both financial
ly and otherwise. About seventy-five
we're present. The feature of the
evening was the lecture by Professor
Tate. of public school No. 3, on "The
Filipino, What He is and Why he is
So" based on his own observations
while he was in the Philippines. Pro
fessor Tate, who vas sent to o
islands by the government TO organ
ize schools, gave a very interesting
lecture on the people, their customs
and their education. His remarks
were greatly appreciated by all.
The musical part of the program
was a piano solo by Miss Burgess, or
Newark. and a recitation by Miss
Orella Heck. A game of proverbs
was also a feature and created much
amusement. A buffet luncheon was
also served. The menu consisted of
baked beans, Boston brown
bread, pickles, crullers and coffee, for
which a small fee was charged. The
souvenirs which were gotten up for
the occasion were the menu cards,
pen and ink sketches OF cats,
on different objects, and the
pussy willow pasted on to represent
the pussy. A neat sum will be real
lied from this affair.

PISTOL QUARREL IN
TOTTENVILLE SETTLED.

William Render, of Main street,
this place, appeared in the second dis
trict court before Magistrate Marsh,
in Stapleton, Monday morning at IL
O'Clock in answer to the summons
sworn out by Edmund Cuny, jeweler,
in Main street, as told in the NEWS
Saturday, to recover a pistol which
Mr.. Render found in the alleyway
near the drug store of j. f. Bedell,
where he is employed. Mr.. Cuny re-
sides next door. The alleyway sep
arates the two places. MI. Cuny
claims the pistol as his and says he
always kept it under his pillow in his
bed, and that it must have been
thrown from the window when the
bed clothes were hung out of the win
dow to air. He not having any occa-
sion to use it in that time he did not
miss it until about a week ago, al
though Mr.. Render claims he showed
it to Mr.. Cuny's son and other people
in the neighborhood. Since that time
Mr.. Render gave the pistol to a friend
of his in Hoboken to sell. He ex-
planned the matter thoroughly to the
Judge, who dismissed the case, but
told him if his friend has not ole
it yet, he could show it to Mr.. Cuny
to see if it was his property.

than any maps, etc, that could be
expected to ask him to do so, whether
he would or not.
Clerk Fulton cited a case where a
witness claimed not to have the acc
essary car fare to attend court in the
Hole-in-the-Wall case and that he
had furnished the same on the sec
ond day of the case, the witness hav-
ing been absent on the first day.
There seemed to be some question as
to whether this particular witness
would care to attend, and in his fail
ure to do so the mayor suggested the
name of another gentleman, who was
a long resident of the borough and
understood the circumstances con
nected with the case.
j. II. Gordon stated the street COM
missioner as well as the committee
were hampered in obtaining labor be-
cause of the wages, and moved that
the street commissioner be authorized
to pay $1.75 per day to men working
on the streets. The motion was car
ried.
j. II. Gordon stated they had a
very difficult problem to solve at the
junction Of George and Feltus street,
at which point the new lumber COM
pany had made some improvements,
piling up soil and raising the ground
to build their buildings, etc, and
should a storm come there would be
great difficulty in taking care of the
water. Mr.. Gordon stated he had
been to view the premises several
times and had been accompanied by
Mr.. Sproul, superintendent of the
Raritan River railroad, and that the
latter gentleman stated he would see
what could be done toward the rail-
road making what improvements
were necessary to dispose of the wat
err If the borough would have proper
grades established, etc. After CON
siderable discussion motion was made
to have the borough engineer make
a survey and give an estimate as to
cost, etc.

tagging of Bordentown avenue in
front of his property. stating he did
not want the contractor to put any
tagging down for him, he preferred
to do it himself. Mr.. Gordon stated
he told Mr.. Meinzer the time had
passed, that he supposed the contract
or had purchased the tagging. Coun-
Gilman Disbrow stated it was his de-
sire also to put down his own flag
ing, that he had requested the proper
grade, but as yet had not been furn-
ished it, but as soon as the grade was
given he proposed to put down his
own Tagging, that he had the stone

j.. H. Gordon stated he had an
other matter to bring to the attention
of the council, namely, that Janeway
& Carpenter, of New Brunswick,
were recently burned out: they had
been employing about four or five
hundred hands in their paper man
ufacturing business; that he noticed
in the papers Railway, Metuchen,
Bound Brook and other places were
making some overtures to them be-
cause they were dissatisfied, that they
could not make any terms with the
Pennsylvania railroad, which COM
pany had elevated their tracks and
not want to put in any sidings or
switches in their main tracks; and
he suggested possibly it might be well
for the mayor to write to Janeway e.
with a view of Offering
what inducements We're possible to
have them locate in South Amboy.
The mayor: 81 do not think Mr..
Janeway will come down here, be-
cause every interest that is dear to
him is in New Brunswick, he having
been born there and that sort of

If you would suggest it, in a
friendly way | would just drop Jane
way a note saying he might possibly,
If he was searching for sites, find a
location here. OF course,
Mr.. Gordon says, we have every
thing in the world that is favorable
to a factory of that kind. | will write
to friend Janeway and tell him not to
overlook South Amboy.'
There being no further business
the council adjourned.

~TOTTENVILLE TRAIN
HAD CLOSE CALL.

A collision was narrowly averted
in the local yard of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit between the local pas
senger train due here at 3:05 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and the local
freight that vas just getting ready to
leave for St. George. Just as. the
passenger train, in charge of Engi-
neer York and Conductor O'Conner,
was about to cross over the switch
from the west to the eastbound track
at Main street, the engine, No. 2S, of
the freight, struck the long string of
freight cars. The shock struck the
ears such a hard blow that 1t sent
them directly in the way of the pas
senger train. Engineer York brought
the train to a stop within a short dis
lance of the freight train, which pre-
vented a collision. The flagman
threw the switch and the train pro-
ceeded on the w%estbound track into
the depot.

PIPHS HELD DEBATE.

The following named scholars in
the ninth grade of public school No.
| took part in the debate on Monday
afternoon as to whether the presiden-
tial term should be extended to six
years or remain as it is for four
years. On the side of six years were
Percy Locker, Frank Parisen, the
Misses Leila Lisk. Martha Linden,
Lille Henderickson, Mary Neiltop
and Cecilia Kaufman; Robert Worthy,
Robert Chapman, William Moss, Ed
ward Ritter and Frederick Lear. On
the side of four years were the fol-
lowing named debaters: The Misses
Mary Hillman, jeanette Monroe.
Edith Hardy, Myrtle Compton, Lillian
Behn, Agnes Agan, Margery Kerr,
Sarah Sprague, Edith Bennett; and
Albert Cole, Lawrence Atkinson and
Lorton Berlew.
This debate was under the super
vision of Miss O'Connor. teacher In
the ninth grade. We were informed
that the scholars as beginners did re-
markedly we'll, and as a word of en-
enlargement to both scholars and
teachers we think this is a new de-
parture in the right direction as 1t
establishes a self confidence and
stimulates the scholars to a research
of the subjects under consideration
that would be impossible to bring
out in any other way. The teacher
of the ninth grade certainly deserves
praise for the emanation of the
thought of scholars entering in debate
on subjects and then putting the
thought in practice. and while the de-
baters led by Locker won the decision
this time, we hope those led by Miss
Hillman may be successful next time.
Miss O'Connor acted as judge.
