WASHINGTON, Jan. J.—IR is assorted at the agricultural department- that tlio agricultural or Agrarian party in the a nnau empire brought about the prohibition of the importation to (ierniany of hvi cattle, dressed beef, canned beef anu other meat products from the VJliked States. Secretary Morton says that the landed proprietors in Germany are the protectionists who teach Mc.Ki.tileyism in "high Dutch." They de-6ir-ii, lie says, to exclude all competition TviMc:h may arise from the fertile lii-H.s of the United States. in proof of his position, the secretary vfei out the following extract from the •morning edition of Dec. 7, lb!)4. No. 57miv of The Kreuze New Prussiche Zii.uuig, published at Berlin, which is tin a.okuo 1 god leading organ of the Ag .-Arjun interests: '•The business lirms of Hamburg, int'vr^.ted in tile importation of American ©iit'.l'S, are doing everything in their pov (ir to remove the prohibition which wiw enforced on account of the danger of diseases. 'Experts' went to England for she purpose of obtaining information a.s ilie experience derived there from fche smportacioa of cattle, and—to the aur^rise of no one—returned home with the 'mostfavorable' news. Englishmen look i'or 'diseases' everywhere, and fox »Liis reason have made the German busi: .ess life a burden for years, state M'.i'J they are of the opinion that 'Texas fever' has no dangerous character and ssni'X", contagious at all. ^h \i to be hoped that the Hamburg qi.-nybuixen will be mistaken if they are vhe opinion tliat this optimism, from their standpoint, is easily expUmed, will be shared by the reauthorities. The llanseatic Ions.!:iess interest was warned when it feau.Marl the idea several months ago of rephwiug the exportation in human feem.'.rs (emigrants) with the importaKiwx cattle.

The Woman's Era.

•HI"!

Within Her Sphere She Reigns Supreme.

Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly. Every day brightens her prospects Her progress foreshadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and equality will be hers in the years to come.

Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the World's Fair. At her shrine there erected the nations bowed. The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till time shall be no more." Their enlightening influence will be felt around the globe throughout the dawning century.

Only less memorable were the honors gained at the Fair by

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder

The highest award conferred on this peerless preparation, is a fitting accompaniment of the laurels won by the -women of America.

hope, ai already stated, that the English 'travelers' experiences' of the Hamburg 'experts' will be shelved with the records as 'valuable material' in Berlin and elsewhere."

.Means Caiindn Also.

OTTAWA, .Ian. 1.—The department of agriculture lias ascertained that the term "America" in Germain's decree prohiltiting the entry of live cattle from America also includes Canada. The government lias therefore asked the imperial authorities to make overtures to the German government to have Canada dissociated in interpretation with the term America, since the minister of agriculture reports Texas fever unknown in Canada.

CONCOKD, N. H., «lan. 1.—George A. Sinionds of this city has received information of an ancestor's estates, valued at from $,'3,000,000 to $4,000,000, which have for years awaited an owner.

The property in question belonged to a great uncle, Robert Sargent of Hubbardston, Mass., more than 40 years ago. Sargent was opposed by all the other members of his family in a quarrel, and converted all his property into cash or securities and disappeared. Twenty years later a stranger of apparent means spent a few days in Hubbardston, and to some he divulged the fact that he was Robert Sargen t. Ho left again, and never returned. Once or twice tidings from the far west told of his unusual prosperity, but never by letter did the family hear from liim.

A few weeks ago Mr. Simonds and others of the relatives were notified by a Boston attorney of an estate of froiu $ 3,000,000 to $4,000,000, which belonged to them, and of which the lawyers had exclusive knowledge. He gave out enough information to prove the existence of the property, but refused to locate it until he was assured of 50 per C3ut of the value of the property recovered. The estate is supposed to exist on the borders of Texas and in Mexico. There are 37 heirs. The property has been in charge of an agent several years, is in good condition and free from debts. The heirs have held recent meetings, and chosen one of their number, who is a lawyer, to represent them.

THE ROAD TO FORTUNE.

It May He Found Through the Medium of Type and Printers' Ink.

Now comes the day of reckoning. The balance sheet confronts you. As you evo it over to see which investment paid be.t, the sum spent for advertising seems largo D. es advertising pay? How often you hive puzzled over this problem! Sometimes you think it does, and then again you are. not so certain. The undisputed fact that every large business in the country has been helped to success by newspaper advertising does not Solve the question of its benefit to you. That

110

business in our day can or does

achieve prominence without tho aid of newspaper publicity is perhaps the chief incentive that induces you to use it as a trade bringer. You, too, want to bo a great merchant. You, too, want your name to become a household word.

There is but one. road to fortune, and it is paved with type. There are a thousand wrong ways of advertising and but one right way—for you. What you want to make sure of is whether you arc on the right track and whether your business is getting all the aid and impetus it should from the money spent, and if not to know why it is not.

It therefore becomes apparent that the work of the writer must liavo certain specific qualities to bo of service 10 tho merchant. His advertisements should catch the eyo by being strikingly set up. They should rouse curiosity and hold the interest of the reader to tho end. Finally they must picture to the imagination tho appearance, quality and superior valuo of the articles offered for sale, and tho air of sincerity pervading them must convinco tho reader that nowhere can ho do so well as in that particular store.

As the most important featuro of advertising is its truthfulness, it is absolutely necessary for tho writer to know every article—to know, in fact, the merchant's entiro stock and its history, for stocks have histories, embodying their cost, their desirability and their present value. He who knows these points can make his advertisements doubly valuable. He can talk intelligently of that with which he is familiar. He knows how to speak of those things for which people are looking. Each store and each season has its own peculiar class of tradr, and the advertisements must be couched to fit. The kind of advertisement which would prove a success for one store might not do at all for another, even 1 hough in (lie same line of business and perhaps located right next door. The capacity for knowing his audience must be innate in tho writer. So must, the business sense.— Philadelphia Public Ledger.

tion, and some of its methods might be copied in our own community with advantage. Flushing is governed by a board of village trustees, a department of education, a health board and other branches necessary to make up a complete C( irpornte body. When an improvement is suggested, its necessity and advantages are made clear to the people, and the result is that it is considered in a nonpartisan way, and after it has received the careful study that should control the expenditure of public funds it becomes a fact.

It can readily bo seen that this calm and deliberate method of transacting public business has resulted in freeing official lite in that town of the bickerings too often present in town politics. The meetings of the different departments are marked by calm deliberation and are seldom marred by heated argument. Of course discussions occur, but they are carried

011

with an evenness of

disposition that robs them of any semblance of ill feeling. One important result of this is the marked interest taken by the prominent residents in the welfare of the place. It induces men who have reached the top round of tho bidder of commercial and financial progress to accept public office and devote both time and attention to tho duties imposed by their trust.

Tho schools of Flushing are deserving of generous mention. Both public and private institutions are conducted with liberality*, the result being that a high standard of excellence is reached. Great interest is taken in the schools by the residents, and every form of encouragement is offered to promote tho cause of education.

Deserted UOOHI Towns.

Tho most desolate places on earth to 1110 are the boom towns in the south,' like Cardiff, Kimball, New England Cit}- and other places where sedgelields were sold for more money per l'rniit foot than they wore worth by quarter sections. I have a few lots in one of these towns. Every one lias who went into that country. It was not lack of judgment. It was a contagious fever, and tin air was full of boom microbes. Millions of dollars were put into towns {barno one lives in and into manufacturing establishments that never manufactured anything. iMaumiolh hotels were built that are now only inhabited by the bats and owls or the ghosts of broken heart- I ed stockholders.
