ADVERTISING EPIGRAMS.

Julius Chambers, in his interesting
Walks and Talks in the Brooklyn Eagle,
quotes from a letter received from a
friend the following advertising cpl
grams. They are we'll worth reading
and remembering:
THE business man who hopes to leave
his footprints on the sands of time
must have the sand to begin with"
That advice is worth at least SIS per
word.
people haven't any more use for an
advertiser whose voice doesn't ring true
than girl has for man whose voice
hasn't an engagement ring in it," That
certainly gets down to the 'humani-
ties" as the lecturers on social science
are accustomed to say.
Getting ahead of your competitor
through better advertising, like steal
ing a kiss from pretty girl, won't hurt
your conscience" Same comment.
The man who doesn't advertise when
business is good like the man who neg
lects to put in his coal in summer does
some wild hustling later on" That reads
like an inspiration.
dishonest advertising, like calling a
Digger Udu Ddu names, is lldule W give
somebody a black eye" Sage remark
again. You get it, as do l, from the
breezy end of the great Northwest, and
it has all the freshness of the air of that
locality.
ga poor advertisement, like friend
in need, is a source of expense" This
flash of wisdom is coAOred by expert
.ence common to all of US. But Mr..
White drops back into sociology in his
next epigram-and he is greatest in his
study of the human creature:
advertising, like marriage, is some
thing of a lottery; but in advertising
there really is chance to win.''
A whole talk could be written around
that thought we're an emergency con-
fronting me and my indulgent readers.
AS Samuel johnson once said when the
same proposition was put up to him,
There's much to be said on both sides
of that question" Give me the adver
Using side.
Success in advertising, like bachelor
hood, is due to eternal vigilance" There
really must be something in this cpl
gram, because eleven states are now
agitating for tax upon bachelors
"a bankrupt sale, like a breach-of-
promise suit, is the advertisement of
lost opportunity" Fold up your news
paper and contemplate the wisdom IN
that one sentence.

BANKER KILLS HIMSELF.
Branch Manager of California Trust
BLO1cs Out Brains.

San Francisco. Dec. lit. Otway Sadeir
manager Of the West End branch of the defunct
California Safe Deposit and Trust Company
blew out his brains last night while locked in
his Office at No. 1881 Devisadero street. No ex-
planation has yet been made of his accounts
but it is known that he was heavily involved
personally in the failure Ever since it was
known that the bank could not survive he has
been greatly depressed.
Sadleir was one of J. DaIzelI Browns most
confidential employees and had full executive
authority of the West End branch, of which he
was made manager some time ago. When
Brown was arrested Sadieir present and
tried vainly to prevent the police from taking
his superior to prison. So far as the investi-
cation of the Depositors' Association had gone,
nothing improper had been discovered in Sad
leir's direction of the affairs of the Western
addition bank, and no charges had been made
against him.
Brown said that it was not personal loss or
any act as an employe Of the bank that caused
Sadleir to commit suicide. Sadleir was Browns S
most intimate friend for many years. He went
to South Africa and fought the British side
during the Boer He called on Brown last
night and because of his failure TO procure
bonds for Brown was much depressed. He had
promised Browns invalid wife that he would
take Brown home last night. When he 1aileo

Ashev:le. n. G., Dec IA compromise TO
settle the railroad rate litigation agreed
upon at conference between Governor Glenn
and President Finley of the Southern at a con-
ference in Raleigh to-day.
By the terms of the settlement the state will
establish legal rate of two and a half cents
a mile, the railway making the following con-
ceSSions
Reduction of interstate transportation to 21a
cents so that interstate and intrastate rules
are UNIFORM; two thousand mile mileage books
at Z cents, interstate and interchangeable; two
thousand mile books for firms and employees not
to exceed five persons, good in and out of the
state. and interchangeable; "a five hundred
mile family mileage book good in the
state, at 2A cents, with the further stipula-
tin that the railroads bear all the expenses of
the litigation to date. including attorneys fees
up to the time of compromise. The Governor
asked for family mileage books at cents, but
after comforting with state officers and coun-
sci agreed to 2A cents rather than prolong
the litigation.
The Seaboard Air Line joined with the South
ern on this agreement. but the Atlantic Coast
Line objected, and other roads have not been
heard from.

Presidents Statement Discussed
Louisville IN Lead for Contention.
From The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Dec. 11.-"President Roosevelt Is
just about as big a man I thought he was.
l was sure he would not run again. This
statement was made by Thomas TagSart, chair
man of the Democratic National Committee, to-
night. when he told that President Roose-
Welt had reiterated his Election Night statement
Mr.. Taggart said he was somewhat surprised
that the announcement came tonight, but his
sentiments of admiration were shared by all
the members of the Democratic comm1ttee
The news of the Presidents statement did
not take long to reach every hotel LOBBY IN
Washington. and Democrats and Republicans
seemed glad it had come Mayor Tom L. john
son of Cleveland said that he knew Mr. Roose-
welt to be a sincere man." Norman E. Mack
said: He will gain rather than lose by this de-
cision," and Roger Sullivan said: 1T was only
what I expected of him"
There is no doubt that the Democrats liked it.
The Bryan men liked it because it has been
their firm conviction that Mr. Roosevelt is the
only man in the country who could beat Bryan;
the antf-Bryan men liked it because they feel
that perhaps there is chance of nominat-
ing man who does not assert that Mr.. Roose-
velt is so much similar to himself. The major
ity of the committeeman are against Bryan at
heart. but other is prominently men
toned except that of Governor Johnson, who it
seems has decided to let Mr.. Bryan try once
again before he himself enters the field The
opinion is general that Bryan will be the nomi-
nee.
Louisville is regarded as almost certain to be
selected as the convention city, and the time will
be at least ten days after the Republican con-
vention
The situation with reference to the selection
of the convention city tonight is that practi-
cally all candidates had been eliminated except
Chicago, Louisville and Denver. Chicago holds
favorite place in the opinion OF some of the
committeeman here, but the statement of Roger
Sullivan. who represents Illinois the national
committee. that 1t would be difficult TO raise
enough money to pay the expenses of the con-
venton had a dampening effect.
The Denver delegation mixed freely with the
committeeman and declared that their city
ready and willing TO pay 100000 to obtain the
convention.
Louisville also was represented by strong
delegation headed by Senator McCreary and
Representative Sherley. The delegates named
no definite sum. but said they were prepared to
offer the best convention hall In the country and
expected TO pay ell the expenses of the conven-
ton If 1t should go TO their city One objection
TO Louisville the score of hotel accm-
mdations. but the delegates protested that they
there could be doubt that the people of that
city would be able to entertain the convention in
