CIRCULATION or ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY


THOUSAND.


The dea Of free advertising for certain classes Of
wants and aborers carried out 10y the Sunday 7se
gram, has evidently taken strong hold upon the pub
lie mind IL is certainly novel and interesting fea-
ture for thousands who earnestly desirous Of procur
ing employment are nevertheless, unable 70 provide
the Tor making their wants known And moth
ing could clearly provo the popularity OF the Ts
egram in connection with this matter than the thou
sands Of advertisements offered yesterday. Indeed
the Office besieged before eight o'clock IN the
morning by the advertisers who formed themselves
into two lines the facing down Ann street. in the
direction Of Nassau street. the other facing up Ann
street, in the direction OF Broadway, both lines
converging at the door OF the office. When th9
business Of receiving commenced IL considered
cessary 70 secure the services OF an officer keep the
doorway clear SIDE that those who had handed
In their 'wants' could again reach the street AS the
arrangements in the Office made that the appl-
cant had but hand his notice and then pass out
again, some Twelve hundred hour were taken But
they were al gratutous advertisers The great
cess of the Sunday Telegram attracted many who would
gladly have paid double rates to have their notices ap-
pear but in every case where money offered the
clerks refused to receive it the ground that the
whole OF the facilities OF the paper were TO be rendered
to the poor and those having employment to offer.


Many Of the advertisements written in German;
these appear therefore, the language of the Father
land Hundreds were 80 composed as to occupy great
space, but which, as act OF common justice, had TO
be reduced Another object IL reducing them to
secure insertion TO large number OF course only
certain space-arge IL be devoted to adver-
tising considerable number of notices, therefore,
are not represented at all In this issue OF the paper
Those left over-at least such be printed under
this arrangement-wil be carefully preserved until
next week Up to the hour of closing yes
terday upward Of 5000 persons had avaed themselves
of the advantages for advertising without cost At
the time, it should be stated the publisher had
received orders for 100000 copies of the Sunday
Telegram, 10000 of which to be forwarded into
the country by the early postal train.


Some of the notices sent by mail accompanied
with comments tending to provo the sad condition Of
the senders AS it might be regarded breach of
confidence to give names and addresses, simply
