A BLOW AT THE CIRCULAR.

A decision of interest and import
ance to those advertisers who engage
others to insert circulars or other
loose advertising matter in news
papers for delivery has been rendered
in New York and is a decision intend
ed to protect newspapers from this
very clear misuse of their circulation
advantages. One of the recognized
functions of newspaper is to pub
fish advertising of an acceptable and
proper character. To thwart this
function by inserting in a newspaper
a separate advertising sheet or cir
cular is violation of the right and
privilege of the newspaper and a New
York court holds that this must not
be done without the consent of the
newspaper. This may be regarded as
another blow at circular advertising
The time may come when those who
indulge in this method of advertisina
will recognize that it is not as effcc-
tive as they now believe.-South

SINGULAR HAPPENINGS.

The press dispatches in yesterday S
newspapers carried accounts of some
singular happenings. Over at East
Chicago a drunken pig had been ar
rested. At Rochester three poker
players fell thirty feet down an air
shaft to escape arrest and were badly
injured.
From the southern seas came the
tale of jamaica boy who had been
carried 100 miles out into the sea on
cocanut tree limb and who was
rescued by a passing ship.
A newspaper man who was explor-
ing in the Amazon country arrived in
San Francisco with a thrilling tale
of adventure. He managed to escape
from gang of hungry cannibals
after they had put him into the huge
kettle and clamped the lid down.
And out in California a man rush

him to cut a two-carat diamond out

INEXCUSABLE BUNGLING.

Fire Chief Peter Dilschneider of
the Hammond fire department is wise
to not make too many excuses for the
magnificent failure of his men to
cope with a very ordinary conf1agra-
ton on Webb street the other day.
His one excuse is the weakest and
most fiimsy imaginable. He said that
luck was against them.
The people of Hammond do not
like to accept such an explanation for
bungling. The people of Hammond
may not know as much about fire
fighting but they do know that:
1. Luck was not factor in fight
ing a small blaze such as consumed
the roof of the Gauthier residence
and should not be factor in fighting
any fire. There should be no
chance in a fire departments work
2. That nozzle should have been
tested under the highest of pressure
and under the most adverse circum-
not guessed, it would work in a case
of real emergency
| ;. The lack of experience shown
by the men in running that line CT
hoe indicates that the chief should
make each department run line al
least once day until they are
thoroughly proficient in the work.

MISERY CREATES FEAR.

regime against which they rebel.

up arms for their own freedom. They
could not. Their condition had sunk
