Newspapers.

In an address before the regular
meeting of the Binghamton, N. Y.
Merchants and Advertisers Associa
ton. held recently at the Court Ann
hotel, William Mcmahon, ADVERTISING
manager Of Sisson Bros. -Welden Co.
stated that there was no limit TO the
business bringing power Of the news
paper as an advertising medium.
The speaker said in part as follows.
In my estimation the handbill and
the rest of its kind bear much the
same relation to the recognized best
means of publicity as the old-fashion-
ed, muzzle-loading blunderbuss of the
past do to the rapid-fre magazine
guns OF the present day.
IF you were going out cunning to.
day you wouldn't select blunderbuss.
Then why, in hunting new business,
do YOU use those same methods?
you probably want 10 know by this
time what consider the best means
of publicity.
ITO my mind, there's no doubt
about Newspaper advertising. It's
the most profitable advertising, there
fore. the best
There is no limit to its business
bringing powers, provided 1t is back

the right price.
1T is the repeating gun OF present
day Understanding. 1t hits hard
and fast. and you get in six, eight, ten
shots while YOU would be firing one
under the old methods.

vertise can not afford to waste his
time in his business. and If he adver-
tises at all. his first and last and main
reliance should be the newspaper"

Grand Opera to be Heard Here II
EnsIish-Firss Time in Many
Years.

1t seems quite certain that Ameri
can music lovers will eventually de.
mand that opera here shall be sung
in English, just as Germany demands
hers in German, Italy hers in Italian,
France hers in French and Spain
hers in Spanish. In the last few years
the vogue of grand opera has grown
rapidly, this form OF amusement,
which was once the exclusive fad of
elite society. having gradually become
the popular diversion of the general
public, especially in the larger cities
all over America, and this awakening
to the beauties of classic music is
rapidly extending to the smaller
cities and towns. AS an after effect
of this tendency, the growth OF the
demand for it's presentation In Eng
lish is coming steadily. and will
eventually assume such proportions
as to compel the introduction of the
vernacular into the greatest operate
temples in America, such as the
Metropolitan opera house in New
York and its prototypes in Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, ETC., where
extended seasons are now given each
year in foreign languages only. One
institution, the Aborn English Grand
Opera company, founded by Milton
and Sargent Aborn few years ago,
has grown to remarkable proportions,
and last season presented the works
of the masters in six cities stimuli
aneously-B Boston, New York Balti-
more. Washington. Chicago and Saint
Louis exchanging artists from time
to time between the various com
panies. This big system literally
presented grand opera on Wholesale
plan last spring, for the contingent
in each city numbered about one
hundred singers, making total of
about six hundred in, all. and the
records for a single week showed that
total of nearly seventy thousand
people attended their presentations
in six cities during that one week.
Messrs. Aborn are now presenting
their last seasons Chicago company
of one hundred singers and musi-
clans, forming tie present Aborn

first aggregation of theirs to go on
a regular tour OF short engagements.

The first serious opposition to vac
cination during the epidemic of
smallpox in the Pawtueket valley
was made, Friday, when Is English
weavers in the Phoenix Lace Mill in
the village of Phoenix, r. l., refused to
be vaccinated under any consideration.
The men, who recently came from
England, declared they would leave the
country rather than submit TO innoeu-
lation. If the weaEers persist in their
objection, it will mean the closing of
the plant until men can be obtained
TO fill their places. There is some
difference of opinion between the.town
health authorities and the state Off
Gals over the nature of the disease.
The state health officers believe that
some of the cases ere ehickenpox. The
town authorities diagnose the cases as
smallpox, however, and are quaran-
