BOOMS COCKTAIL,

IN OYSTER BAY

Sam, the Barkeeper,

OYSTER BAY. n. Y. July 1.-THE
question OF whether or not cocktails were
served to President Roosevelt when he
was entertained at Indianapolis by Vice
President Fairbanks io discussed here.
OF course, as interestedly as elsewhere.
Oyster Bay is not a temperance town.
b. any means. as its fifteen saloons In
q population OF less than 1000 will at
test. and it is very tolerant Of any
rumor' that the Chief Magistrate Of the
United States looks upon the cherry IN
the cocktail when it's red.
No one has as yet come forward 10
assert that they have ever seen Teddy
take a drink, but no one doubts that he
has a perfect right TO do so if he
wants TO
Revives the Cocktail.
The Fairbanks cocktail episode has
served one good purpose 10 many who
enjoy the seductive tipple here. II has
started a revival OF the drink, and Sam.
the up-to-date bartender Of a local no
tel. was quick to seize its advertising
possibilities. The patrons of the hotel
were surprised yesterday 10 see the fol-
lowing sign neatly printed and hung
over row OF bottles on the shelf back
OF the bar:
The Fairbanks Roosevelt Cocktail
For Sale Here Drink No Other.
ITS the greatest invention of the
age said Sam. enthusiastically. There
never was one like II before. It cheers
the heart Of the downcsst and puts
courage in a man, II Is at one and

drink Its very name betokens that.
Take Fairbanks, for instance. Doesn't
his name suggest cool things. icicles
and frost? Then on the other hand
the name Roosevelt stands for all that
is fire and fervidness. The combination
of the two is excellent, as everybody
who has tasted the new drink declares.
Ex-eets Fortune.
1T took me a long while to think this
idea up. and I expect TO make a pile OF
money from IL. It's getting popular
and In time may become as profitable
as Teddy bears. Who knows? The
hardest stunt was to think up an appro-
pirate name, At first I thought %
eomething short like the fire and frost
cocktail but IL was not poetic enough.
There is a-Iot of poetry In 4 cocktail
and especially in this new one, so
decided TO leave the names just as they
were"
The village has taken sides with the
President in the cocktail controversy
and no one has any censure for him
for drinking whatever he likes Those
who have known him for years and are
acquainted with his habits, believe thai
cocktails were served upon the now his
toric occasion at Indianapolis. and that
while Mr.. Fairbanks may not have in
duIged in them, it is reasonably certain
that Mr.. Roosevelt did.

Apartment Circulation

A representative of The
Times recently made a can
Tass of the Ontario apartment
house, one OF the finest in the
city. He found that fifty-three
residents we're regular readers
of The Times and fifty-One of
the Star. The Games of the
occupants and numbers Of
their apartments are on record
at this Office and will be shown
TO anyone.

No Circulation Initiation

The Times takes returns
from news dealers in q man.
ner usual TO all newspapers.
Like other papers, 1t does not
accept returns from newsbOys.
The circulation is In no way
inflated. By The Times sys-
tenn it is impossible for anyone
to get the paper who does not
pay for it. The agents pay
the Office cash each day for the
papers they buy-the news
dealers pay them weekly. This
leaves no opening for bad ac-
counts and worthless subserip-
tons.

Advertising Increase

For the past three months
The Times has been the only
local newspaper to show any
increase in advertising over
the preceding year. Merchants
are using it more because it
brings results. Practically every
large advertiser is using more
space than he did a year ago.

An illustration of the way in which colored men of the present day are making their mark in the world is af- forded in the career of W. Sidney Pitt man, an architect of much prominence ot the national capital. The United states government accepted his design offered in competition, for the negro bupding at the Jamestown exposition. This is the first time that a colored mans plans have been accepted by the e,overnnent MT. Pittnan's parents were formerly slaves. He was educated at the public schools in Montgomery, Alaharna, at Tuskegee institute and al fine Drexel institute in Philadelphia, having been aided to take a course in architecture at the latter by Booker T. washington After graduation from the nraxel MT. Pittman took charge of the denartment of architecture at. Tuske- gea where buildings costing $25o.0OC
 were erected after his plans.

Making Friend. With Wild Birds.

In Harper's for July, A. W. Dimock writes of recent visit to one of the islands of the Everglades, where he went to study the many kinds of wild birds living there. No guns were fired, and the birds seeing that no harm was intended soon became tame.
 "Day after day we padded our canoe in the little sloughs around and through the rookery, and each day the birds grew tanner. The camera -man waded and climbed trees, cut poles and made long legs for his camera, until he got the views he wanted of eggs and young birds, while the mother birds fused around him and scolded at first, but sometimes came back to their nests before the work was finished. Nature worked daily miracles through these young Birds, One day they were egg-

Her two youngsters used to stand on the extreme edge of the nest, with wide-opened bills extended for the delicacies we brought them, un- til one of them fell into the water, and when we tried to rescue him, gave a full.grown, exhibition of the aquatic skill which was his inheritance. That night he disappeared, and was thought we knew the hawk that got him, but couldn't afford to destroy with a gun the confidence of our feathered cronies even to avenge one of them"

PROMOTERS AND

Crank Fayant in Success Magazine.)
Some time in your life you read an
alluring advertisement and wrote to
a promoter for his prospectus. That
put your name on a sucker list
And perhaps you sent him some of
your money and received in exchange
a beautifully printed stock certificate.
That put you on a preferred list.
These Sucker lists" carrying all'the
way from five to fifty thousand
names, are regularly offered for sale.
Some of the very choice lists are made
up of suckers who can be caught
for amounts from $1,000 up. |
know one man who has a sucker
list of 25O,O0 names, and he is
proud of the fact that he has landed
10000 of them. l know another who
has $4,000 victims on his list. The
promoter may buy Michigan lists
recommended for copper compan-
ies), clergymen's lists, ten dollar
suckers " lists, railroad stockholders
lists, German investors lists, farmers
lists-any variety that suits his
fancy.
Pursuing the inventors by the
gum-shoe method, the promoter takes
his sucker lists" and proceeds to
try various kinds of bait on his pros
pective victims. In these days, when
advertising and craftsmanship have
been reduced to an exact science,
MANY clever wrinkles have been de-
vised to catch the suckers" Some
of these command the admiration of
men of business. One man in Chica-
go opens up on the investor with a
series of heart-to-heart letters about
investments, written in admirable
style, following each other at ten-aay
intervals. 1t is not until you vec9lye

GRATING AND SLAVE
BUYING IN 1900.

F. Marion Crawford's new serial
"Arethusa, a Princess in Slavery
just beginning in the American Mag
azine, contains a reproduction of a
receipted bill for three slaves which
reveals the price of human beings in
1900, and shows how, even in those
days, agents grated on their en-
ployers. Here is the bill:
For n Gree maid slave, slave born,
between seventeen and eighteen a
old, answering to the name of Are
thusa, without blemish, scar or birth
mark. having natural brown eyes,
twenty eight teeth, all sound, weigh
ing two Attic talents, and five minae,
more or less, and speaking Greek,
Latin and Italian ..... .Ducats 400
For two maid slaves, from Tanais,
slave born, of fourteen and fifteen,
answering to the names of Lucilla
and Yulia, sound, healthy, never hav-
ing been tortured or branded, each
having black hair, black eyes, and
tWenty-eight teeth, trained to wait
on a lady, and speaking ineligible
Greek, besides a barbarous dialect of
their own, warranted docile, and not
given to stealing; at 20 ducats
each .Ducats 40
IN all ........ .Ducats 440
Gullabi Gulbenkjan, the son of
Dadirjan, Merchant. (Witness)-Se-
pastlan Omobono, of Venice, Clerk.
Omobono, who bought the slaves
for his master, observed that the
receipt acknowledged forty ducats as
the price of the two girls, instead of
twenty-four. He and Gullabi had
privately agreed upon twenty-four
ducats as the price.
"Gullabi ~Gulbenkjan, surnamed
the Truth Speaker, does not sell
slaves at twelve ducats," answered
the Armenian with dignity. "More-
over, your employer will see that he
has paid forty, and you can keep the
sixteen ducats for yourself"
That would not be honest" pro-
tested Omobono, shaking his neat
gray beard.
Gullabi smiled. in a plying way.
