terns Gathered in From Far and Near

Following the Fashion. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Many women, and men as well, are disturbed If they feel that the clothes they wear are In the slightest particular , obsolete. "They cannot buy a pocket handkerchief without the anxious Inquiry whether it is what everybody else is wearing-, or purchase a shoestring without critical scrutiny and comparison. Not merely In clothes is the fashion followed, but In social diversions. One game gives place to another, one popular ballad with a whistleable refrain ousts its forerunner completely; no sooner is a tune learned than it is gone like the snows of yesterday. Books suffer the same incessant vicissitudes of the favor of "Fortune in men's eyes." In most things it does not matter if there Is a continual cycle of changes. It is only when It comes to our beliefs and our opinions that it is not well to try to keep pace with the vagaries and eccentricities of fashion.

1 Johnson's Boom. From the Cleveland Leader. Senator Bailey of Texas denounces Gov. Johnson of Minnesota. Johnson begins to loom up aa a formidable candidate.

The President's Preference. From the New York World. If Mr. Taft prefers a good base ball game to a long program of speech-making, parades and other formalities, he is very much like many college men who are younger than he is.

Turn Light . en the Tariff. - The the New York Evening Post. If the government clerks in Washington succeed in getting that extra two hours of light they ought to turn it on the tariff.

A Growing Suepieion. From the Denver Republican. Honest, now, aren't the manufacturers of alarm clocks behind this movement to start work two hours earlier in the morning? Marching On. From the Indianapoiis Star. Julia Ward Howe is ninety, but her Battle Hymn of the Republic goes marching on- - , , r

ADVERTISING RICHMOND All those who have the optimistic viewpoint about Richmond are united on one thing at least- That is that Richmond must bestir itself as a unit, to make Itself known to the outside. Richmond may have the best stores; the best factories: the best this and that, but if the susv rounding country does not know it where will the trade come from? It is easy to sit back and adopt a policy of letting the trade come to you when you are in a position to do so. But Richmond and no other growing town is In that position. In Harper's Weekly for May 22. Elliot Flower describes the six campaigns of Chicago for business in the Mississippi valley.:" '.; . " Most of us have the Idea that Chicago is large enough to sit down and let the trade come there. But that isn't the way the Chicago merchants and other business men look at it. And Richmond is not' Chicago.

This is what Elliot Flower says: "So, granting, of course, that you have the right article at the right price, advertising is the basis of trade.: The retailer campaigns by advertising in his immediate locality. It may be newspaper advertising, or "demonstrations," or "freak" advertising, or mail advertising, or circular advertising, or all or several of these ' forms combined. The mail-order merchant campaigns by advertising throughout all or a large part of the country. He may use the newspapers and periodicals almost exclusively or he may use them only, incidentally and rely principally upon his catalogues. The wholesaler campaigns by advertising in whatever he may consider his territory, be it large or small, and he supplements this by sending out travelling salesmen. Occasionally a group, having allied interests, will unite in a single campaign of exploitation, which is really the basis of the plan that sent out Chicago's flying squadron, not to represent individual industries or concerns, but to speak for the whole city."

Now as we said before there is no doubt in the minds of the optiimstic persons 'that this matter of advertising the town is the thing to do. .And though there are variations innumerable, there are two main ways of accomplishing it. The first is the method of bringing people to the town to inspect, as guests of Richmond, the business and other interests. The second Is in sending out delegations, from time to time, to let people who have no idea of going to Richmond get the idea that there is real life here.

Dayton, just now is making the most of the Wright brothers the exhibition over there, will bring hundreds of people from the country round to the town and rest assured the Dayton people will not let such an opportunity slip by. People will go away and say things about Dayton which will be complimentary. Trade that elusive thing depending on advertising and good will will follow suit. We have a suggestion to make in this particular instance. Why not send a delegation a large, representative delegation to Dayton with such ' accompaniments as connot be unnoticed to let the people, not "only of Dayton biilt the country around know that Richmond is not in a coma? : Let people know that there are no people in a trance over here. So far as that is concerned we have things that Dayton can use. Dayton has things that we can use and beside that the people between here and Dayton need to know (in case they forget it) that there is another market beside Dayton. '

The larger the delegation; the more representative the delegation; the more conspicuous the badges; and the greater the publicity; the more Richmond will stand out as a place which not only can hold its own, but which is going out after business. Bear in mind it is the reputation that is needed the business will come afterward. Bear it in. mind that nothing need be said about what you want that is taken for granted. AH that needs to be demonstrated is that a sufficient number of the representative business men in this community are enough interested in the town to make it known to a number of people that Richmond is here, ready to co-operate with the neighborhood in any project which will make for the constructive idea. The attitude is not one of selffsh concern. It should be, what can the town do to get together with other people? It is not the old fashioned idea of one particular business going out after trade it is, "We are from Richmond. We want you to know that Richmond is ready to work with all of youl We have things that you want and you have things that we want. So let's get together on the proposition."

If the Richmond business men will unite on tha idea of sending out scouting parties several times a year there will be another change in the town as marked as the beginning made last year at the time of the Fall Festival. There will, of course, be men who will think up plenty of reasons not only why they themselves cannot go but why the thing should not be done. There is no reason why these should attract attention or detract from the proposition. They will come in a year or so from now and be heartily for it.

A proposition has been made to the Young Men's Business ciud. inviting them to get up a delegation of Richmond men to go to the Wright exhibition at Dayton. This will be considered at the next meeting of the club on next Tuesday evening. It is our opinion that the proposition should be considered favorably. But if a delegation is sent over it should be from the whole town of Richmond. It should be representative. The whole thing should look prosperous and should include the heads of the business interests of the whole town. We say the whole town, and we say the heads of Institutions, as well as others because this is the only way that 6uch a thing can be made very effective. Along this line we quote another extract from the article of Mr. Flower who was attached to the Chicago expeditions of education and advertising.

"It is not the first raid a Chicago flying squadron has made, nor is Chicago the only city that has adopted thia method of campaigning, but Chicago has unquestionably came nearer to reducing this united exploitation of all her interests to a science than any other city. Various cities have sent out occasional flying squadrons to capture trade, but' they have not done this as often as Chicago has done it nor as thoroughly; nor have they enlisted as big men in the ranks of their squadrons."

It is our opinion that a campaign of this sort with the trip to Dayton as a beginning should be the next step in building up Richmond.

Suspected Man Today In

forms Reporters That the Full Report of the Affair

Will Be Given Out.

Chicago, June 2. A full confession by Dr. Haldane Cleminson, was in the hands of the police today, according to Capt. T. C. Kane, commanding the

Sheffield avenue station.

After a thorough grilling of the doctor-prisoner, Captain Kane declared he

bad a full confession. He said:

"I have a confession from him, but

that is all I will tell you now." Dr. Cleminson, in his cell said to reporters: "Yes, the burglar story is a fake My wife was not chloroformed. I assumed my attitude to save the honor of my

children. Oh, it ain't what you boys think ft is. You will learn the cause of my wife's death next week."

Will Clear Mystery. Capt. Kane declared today that the

whole mystery would be cleared up

probably before night.

After a day that had been too much

even for a man of his iron nerve, Clem

inson. broke down in the police station

and took back the story of the burg

lary. He admitted his wife did not come to her death at the hands of robbers.

Dr. Cleminson made the admission

after a two hours' sweating by Captain Thomas G. Kane, and later reiterated it in the presence of newspaper men.

He made no direct statement, but cast insinuations that his wife committed suicide. Feels Much Better. The prisoner, against whom a war

rant charging him with the murder of

his wife, had been sworn out, declared

that he "felt much better since the bur

den had been lifted" from his mind. That drugs were used and that Mrs. Cleminson, the young mother, came to

her death as a result of these drugs.

there is not the slightest doubt. What

the nature of these drugs were may

not.be revealed until after the expert

toxicologists into whose possession

were delivered the stomach, kidneys,

lunzs and liver of the dead woman,

have made their report

Whether or not the name of a wo

man or of two or three" women is to be dragged into the Cleminson case is one phase of the tragedy that the police

have not settled as yet. A Mysterious Woman.

It has been definitely established that Dr. Cleminson May 20 last, at 10:30 at night, took a mysterious woman patient to the Chicago Union hospital. The woman is described as having been tall and a pronounced blonde. Dr. Cleminson came alone with the woman. At that late hour

at night, unaided and alone he per

formed an operation upon the woman. It was not serious Jn its nature.

The woman, who was registered' at

the hospital under the name of Miss J.

M. Bersr. 6520 Sangamon street, re

mained there until May 26. She left the hospital in the company of Dr.

Cleminson.

Twice in the six days that the woman was in the hospital. Dr. Clemin

son sent her flowers. Her hospital

bill was paid not by the woman herself

nor by Dr. Cleminson, nut oy a tnira

party.

There is no No. 6520 Sangamon

street. No one knows Miss Berg. Cleminson admitted that the name giv

en by him for his hospital patient was fictitious. ' While Cleminson was being questioned by Capt. Kane, a tall, blonde woman, dressed as a nurse, came in.

Prosecutor Ladd Too Busy Now to Prosecute Delinquent Dog Owners.

ARE NO BARGAIN RATES

A few days of grace may be expected by delinquent owners of dogs who have not paid their tax. It is not an intentional benefit to them, however. Prosecutor Ladd is busy in a criminal

case and can not give his attention to the dog tax prosecutions. But as soon as he is released you delinquents had

better watch out.

Owners of dogs who failed to pay tax

have escaped prosecution in this coun

ty for four years. Some of them have

the idea there is no need to pay dog

tax, as it will not make any difference.

One man has told Township Assessor Potter as much, and his name went

down on the black list. - His case will

be one of the first to attract the atten

tion of the prosecutor. Another own

er of three dogs offered to pay $5 on the lot Two of the canines are males. But the assessor refused to accept the bargain rates and demand the $5. He didn't get it, and he is another to go down. Potter wants it understood there is no jokw in the affair. He declares it is understood between him- and Prosecutor Ladd the latter will take up the question of unpaid dog tax at the earliest opportunity and some one may have to dance.

Philadelphia, June 2. A fire that for a time threatened a portion of the business section on Chestnut street today, destroyed the Schnoelle ' building Twelfth and Chestnut streets, causing a loss of $300,000. Several firemen were overcome before the fire was put out. The fire started fro ma cause unknown, before anyone got to work. The blase spread rapidly upward through the building and neighboring structures were jeopardized. The firemen devoted most of their efforts to prevent this spread of the flames. The firemen were badly hampered by the bursting of some of the hose and also by an accident to some of the apparatus, which disabled it.
