A COUNTRY PAPER

One Of the most notable facts con-
nected with a country newspaper of
today is the large increase in the
amountof advertising Of local business
houses. The change has taken place
gradually, and has been marked espe-
ciaiy during the past year or so. 1t is
highly significant and an inquiry as to
the cause of it is of great profit,
not only to those in newspaper business
but to every business man and citizen
ofonr town as well. The change, in
brief means that local merchants
have found it necessary to call atten-
tionot their goods because of the i'm
mense competitor they face, the most
deadly element of which is that
from the great stores of the large
cities. These great establishments ad-
Terfise their wares most lavishly, and
the metropolitan newspapers which con-
tain their advertisements are distribu-
ted over the country, some one paper
of which enters into nearly every
Az=szsse The The seess.lt. Is Is tAat these metro
politan establishments have built up an
imfnense mail trade. In our town and
indeed inmost of the towns hereabouts,
there is no occasion for this out-of-town
buying. The duty Of citizens in the
matter is plain, and where other things
are equal support should be given local
dealers. Our merchants have invested
their capital, have erected buildings,
which hre the pride of the city, and
have. established concerns which are al
most metropolitan in character. They
have built up our little city, and it is
ohlya fair return that they have the
cityss trade, to turn trade otherwise,
even in the line of small purchases
which are great in the aggregate, is to
invite the decline of property values in
ouEtown.

THE C.&D. CANAL.

THE friends of the project to pur-
= chase the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal for the purpose of convert
ing ii into ship canal. as desired by
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AssO-
ciatiSa, are watching the movement at
washington for cutting the apprOpria-
lions s'to the home" They win make
/ determined fight to have the COving-
ton falI incorporated in the river and
harboss measure.
: ''T6e bill fathered by Congressman
COvingtOn Of Maryland, calls for an
appropriation Of s2,5OO,OOO which the
army engineers are to use either for
she outright nnrchase Of the canal or
for getting possession of it by condem-
haation proceedings. With the infuen-
bal backing that the project has, as
fhe result Of many years Of agitation
by the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association, the COvingtOn bill should
be passed, and if it fails there win be
much disappointment for those who
have been earnestly labOring for the
Ship cansl
Delaware is much interested in this
subject and has been ever since the in
ception of the association, and the
'1stste has been well represented at the
annual meetings.
The next step to be taken in the
scheme of the Waterways Association
is the purchase of the canal, and
whether the Covington bill passes OF
not, depends upon the influence that car
be exerted by the members of Con.
gress from the districts affected by the
bill and the expression of public senti.
ment Of the districts.
The best way in which this sentiment
can BE fofcefully expressed is to have &
large delegation present at the hearing
so that Congress will be impressed
with the extent of the public opinion
that is favorable to the purchase of the
canal. .-"M Morning NcsCs''.

LEAPS TO LIBERTY
OUT COURT WINDOW
Jefferson Market Prisoner
Squeezes Way Through
a VentilatOr.

Just as ne was TO be arraigned in the
Jefferson Market court Yesterday on a
charge OF grand larceny John Martin
.wentv-three years old, squeezed himself
through a ventllator IN the prisoners wait
ing room and leaped to liberty. Amid wild
excitement policemen and detectives sur
rounded the building. but Martin got
away.
Martin. a driver. living at No. 241 West
42d street, was arrested on a charge OF
stealing S2i so from Paul Stair, fire
man on the liner New York. in a saloon
al No. 49, Ninth avenue. Paul said Mar
tin and another man pinned him TO wall
and went through his pockets. while others
in the saloon were singing and dancing 70
piano.
When Patrolman Henry r. Freeman.
who had permitted his prisoner TO go TO
on inner room. went for him he found the
door fastened. lie also found the inner
room empty and the ventilator. twenty
feet above the floor. open. Martin had APP
parently placed a cleaners pail on a
shelf and from that Jumped 70 the venu-
lator. The opening is only IS by Il
inches and the man weighed at least $50
pounds.
Martin dropped on TO the roof OF the
market, broke open dormer window and
dropped on 10 the steep roof OF meat
stall. He slid down that and leaped twenty
feet to the floor Of the market and sped
out Of one Of the open doors.
No one saw Martin escape, but his pas
sage was clearly marked in the newly
fallen snow The tracks, however. were
lost in the street.
Report the escape Of your prisoner to
your captain" said Magistrate Appleton
10 Freeman. "and don't look so down
hearted. You are not to blame in any
way. and I'll go anywhere and testify to
that for YOU"
