TAILoRS, ADVERTISE!
That is the Advice of the Powers
That Be.

NEW YORK, February 15-If the custom
tallors of the country hope to hold their
own against the makers of ready made
clothing, they must abandon the ancient
ethics of their profession which forbid them
to advertise in the public press and must
adopt present-day methods and go in search
OF the customers whom they have waited
for in the past. This was the advice give,
several hundred merchant tailors at the
closing session of the Merchant Tailors'
National Exchange at the Hotel Astor yes
terday by Hugh ArdIeigh of this civ Mr.
Ardleigh said the American tailor could
come nearer to making a gentleman than
any other tailor in the world, and that If
they did not cause that fact to become
known generally they could blame no one
but themselves. He advocated persistent
continuous advertising in the newspapers
throughout the country, and prophes!ed
that If his advice is followed the American
tailor. soon will lead the clothes makers of
all nations.
one effect of the meeting in this city was
to renew pleasant relations between the ma
tlonal exchange and the Merchant Tailors'
National Protective Association The presi
dent of the latter organization was a guest
or the exchange at the banquet last even

CRAPS GAME INTERRUPTED.
Policemen Heard Noises Which Led to
the Police Court.

When passing in front of a blacksmith
shop in Queens alley northwest early last
Sunday morning, Sergt. Evans and Police
man Sides Of the third precinct heard the
noise of the rolling bones and heard calls,
PLAY five, PLAY ten.' etc. The officers
rushed into the shop, but the colored man
in charge made his escape in the darkness
which followed, when one of the players
blew out the candle, which furnished the
only light. ISAIAH Johnson was arrested
yesterday and was charged in the Police
Court today with permitting gaming on the
premises. The sentence was $50 fine or
thirty days Imprisonment.
II was asleep and don't know what was
going on testified one of the witnesses
who had been found in the shop.
You were asleep when the music of the
bones rolling on the floor was going on
exclaimed Judge Mullowny. You don't
mean that, do YOU"
1.-THE bone fell out Of my pocket and
Isaiah just picked it UP to look at it." ex-
planned another witness, after the officers
testified to seeing the rolling of the bones
Wasn't he playing craps?'' he was asked.
II don't know, sir, cause I don't shoot
craps" was the reply.
Your friends will say your education is
neglected" commented Judge Mullowny.
