THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1890.

A WORD WITH OUR ADVERTISERS No reputable store of any kind, dry goods, clothing, groceries, house-furnish ing, lias two prices for customers. The old fashion of putting op prices and then Submitting to a "jewing down" by customers is entirely obsolete in first class, respectable business houses. When we find a merchant who follows this system we logo confidence in him and take our trade elsewhere. Why then should a newspaper be expected to do what is no longer done by reliable business firms? Advertising is daily refused at this office to persons who insist upon having it at less than our regular rates. Our spece is our stock in trade. |j 'Wo have made our calculations on what jjf it must bring us to yield a fair profit, s& just as the merchant determines the price lor which he must sell his goods. Based l^-upon this we have made our schedule of «&*aU», which are as low as any newspaper can affbird to make for a permanent standifisiard* What right have we to discrimip|nate between our patrons? Why should Kjone advertiser be given abetter rate than |C ,another upon the same kind of a contract? It'If wo make a reduction to you in order to %V«ecuro yoar business, how do you know that wo have not made a greater rcduction in order to get some other man's patronage Advertisers should apply 1®, the same rule in their transactions with '*'.g a newspaper that they require of persons

I* dealing with them. TUB NEW* is aware that tho Gazette is taking advertisements at a rate which must iavolvo a financial fa lots, for the purpose of breaking down this papor. This will result only in in|y:juring themselves. TUB NKWS is here to IjLstay. It has the largest circulation of any paper in Torre Haute, and business f/ men aro already recognizing that it is to their advantage to pay a fair rate for advertising in the paper which reaches the largest number of readers.

Tits Express this morning calls special attention to the injustice of the law, as illustrated in the case of Lily Wolf against her mother-in-law, which permits the husband to recover for the alienated affections of his wife but refuses the same privilege to the latter. THE IS*news commented editorially upon this discrepancy last Saturday, six days ago, in reference to this same case but it will bear frequent mention If tho decision of the Supremo court were based upon the fact that a husband's affections were not worth much as a wife's, there might be some show of reason in it but it is a relic of tho old common law which said that husband and Wife are one and that one is tho husband. There is scarcea judge in the country who will decide according to the remnants of this common law unless compelled to do so. The men of the present century are unmeasumbly superior in justice, mercy aad reepect for women to those who framed the old common law, and the public sentiment of to-day can scarcely comprehend that of former times wliich sanctioned the monstrous inequalities pf Jjjhis old English law.

IF the farmers are in such a state of abject poverty and financial ruin as Mr, Voorhees* great speech would lead us to believe, they would better sell their farms and move into Iowa. And when they get here they will Hud that a largo amount of property la cities is held subject to mortgage. Oaae® have been known where men, occupying for yean high official positions at a regular salary of from five to eight thousand dollars a which win? fiot Affect©u bj poor crops or dull aeasott a robber tariff—have found some reason for J»ut» ting a mortgage on their home. Au of which goes to show that there reasons than one why il to wecoasty mortgage property, and also thai the ceesity for an occasional mortgage fe w* confined tooae o* peoph*«r

ument and apparently disposes of all disputed points in a satisfactory manner. The minority report dissents only in one particular, viz., that the bill shall not be reported until "the citizens of Chicago shall have secured a guarantee fund of $10,000,000." There is practically no doubt but that the Chicagoans will raise this money and more if necessary, but since this is the only objection New York can offer it would seem to be policy to set about at once and secure this guarantee fund, and thus effectually spike the guns of the enemy.

THEY

caaot burn down a building in

Indianapolis without making it a matter of partisan politics. The Sentinel and News claim that the Bowen-Merrill fire was badly managed. As the Chief of the Fire Department is a Republican the Journal rushes to bis defense with a column of editorial and a number of in terviews with prominent people. "The king can do no harm," according to the paper whose politics he represents and everyin public life is sure of a whitewash by the party organ. Only a non-partisan paper dares to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

THE dispatches say an important house bill passed the Ohio senate yesterday and is a law, providing that railroad employes who have worked twenty-four consecutive hours shall not resume labor until they have had eight hours' rest. There should be another bill passed immediately providing that any road which requires an employe to work twenty-four consecutive hours shall at once and forever forfeit its charter.

Tun manner in which the great fire at Indianapolis has been handled by the News and Journal of that city could not be exceeded by the newspapers of New York or Chicago.

Mr. Masterson describes the rpir email and about the si«e of the common pigeon, but. of a slenderer, stronger build, and of a peculiar gray plumage lacking entirely the glossy appearance of feathers Its tail is extraordinarily long and runs to a sharp point, ending in a blood red tip, No other color is to be seen when it is not in flight, but the extended wings show bright yellow beneath, sometimes varied with an intense lustrelesB black its bill is very powerful, though thin and long, and is perfectly straight, except at the end. where it curves sharply with an abrupt aip. The feet are coal black and resemble somewhat those of the African parrot, but have very sharp nails curving almost into fish hooks. This singular bird Is to be found only on the rtsedy shorn* of the low-lying lakes New Guinea, which are often only im mense stagnant ponds or marshes. The esegs are laid in the sHtuy, moist earth close to the water's edge, and are most beautifully variegated, being of a rich crimson, dappled with blue, gold and white, but are very small and perfectly round.

Mr. Masterson succeeded in snaring one of the birds and confined it in a cage, intending to bring it home as a curiosity, bat it pined away in captivity,, literally starving itself to death, as it refused to partake of any food whatever.

GYP, THE DOG ADVERTISER, HER METHODS OF BUSINESS.

now TbU ArtUt® Appear* In Fabllo Every Dmy—Her Fine Habit* *nd Her Fragrmnt npwttM—As Inlwriew with H®r—A

Black E ed Geaius.

Gyp is visiting OmahaT Haven't seen her? Don't know Gyp? Nonsense! She may be noticed any day walking up and down Fanjuam street.

She wears a red satin coat buttoned very lightly around her throat and a toque to match it sets jauntily on her bead. The toque is trimmed with feathers and flowers and a flaxen bang peeps from beneath its rim. Gyp has very pretty brown eyas and they gaze through ginuMMMi that are perched upon her little now*- Gyp's deportment is very proper except in one respect. She looks straight ahead through her glasses and walks with dignity, and when people make remarks about her—as they generally do— she does not pay any attention to them. She just holds her cigarette firmly in her teeth and assumes an indifferent air. For Gyp smokes when she appears upon the street—that is the only breach in her otherwise faultless demeanor.

But then Gyp is only a dog—a little brown spaniel the wisest, brightest little spaniel imaginable. Gyp is a dog with a career. She is an artiste in her way, and, as every one knows, artistes often indulge in cigarettes. Only smoking is regarded by Gyp in the light of an accomplishment, which makes her valuable in her professional line.

HER LINE AND GET UP.

And what is Gyp's professional line? Advertising—that is what occupies all her working hours. There are big white letters on her red satin coat, and the letters tell people where to buy certain things. Of course Gyp attracts more attention than a dozen newspapers, and every one who sees the little brown dog trotting along the thoroughfares with her flaxen bangs sewed securely into her red gatin toque, her glasses adjusted on her nose and her cigarette in her mouth, is sure to read £he white letters.

Gyp has been in the advertising business a year. She would never have thought of entering such a public life if the idea had not been suggested to her by the black-eyed boy who is her master. They did a great many tricks together, and when Gyp learned to smoke a cigar dealer back in Cleveland offered to en gage her services. The dealer offered $10 a week, and Gy and her master signed a contract, and her first engagement was speedily begun, the boy acting as Gyp's manager. It was a success, and Gyp appeared hero in Omaha at the end of her season. She wore a blue costume then, and the white letters on her coat, or "huiiit," as her young manager calls it, exhibited tho virtues of a certain brand of cigars.

Gyp is sometimes disappointed in the weather, but she is very particular about fulfilling her contract, which calls for six hours'walking every day—three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. She confines her promenades to the principal streets, and she is oftentimes annoyed by the crowds which gather around her. But being very demure and self possessed she refuses to linger where she can overhear the remarks of passers by. Once or twice she has been mortified by brusque commands to3'move on" from policemen who Aid not appear to recognize genius—even when it was so well defined as in Gyp's case,,,,

SHE'S ONE OF THE 400.

Gyp is naturally haughty. She is very proud of her satin habit and with true feminine patience bears all the discomforts of fine attire without a single whine of impatience. Oftentimes the wind blows her coat about her feet and her flaxen bangs slip over her eyes. Besides her glasses pinch her nose and she becomes very tired of the cigarette. It et all artistes who appear in public and calmly accept the homage of the multitude suffer more or less, and why should a dog be exempt from any of the drawbacks that beset an actor's career?

Gyp does not notice other dogs and absolutely refuses to make their acquaintance. As a rule, her showy costume amazes them and they stand tuid look at her afar off, now and then expressing their canine astonishment in low, deep growls. Iky, Omaha's Bohemian dogIky, who has associated with lawyers until his assurance is the despair of every well behaved dog in tho town—tried to join Gyp in her daily promenade but, although Iky had copied many of the manners and much of die address of certain lawyers in the Sheely and Paxton Mpflra, iky was ignominiously snubbed.

Moreover, Gyp can talk. When she was asked about Omaha she expressed the utmost confidence in its future by removing her toque and barkhag half a dozen times in t£te most enthusiastic manner. She had no definite opinion about the school bonds, bat appeared to have rather melancholy recollections of her own education. She was quite voluble when Dr. Miller's name was mentioned. Dr. Miller had spoken to Gyp oa the #i*eefc aad said hethought it was a shame for a poor dog to be compelled to wear glasses and smoke cigarettes ail day long. But Gyp only sat up with her fore feet crossed la a very graceful manner, looked at him kindly through her spectacles, and then moved along down Sixteenth street.—Omaha Wodd-HeraM,

HURTING A STRANGER'S FEELINGS.

He Did What He Promised and Tried tm Uft It There were probably a hundred people in the old Island House depot in Toledo when a

«Il|

thin man, who might have been 40 years old and did not look to weigh over ninety pounds, who had a rope harness on him, passed around the waiting room and said: "I going to give tin exhibition of strength outside the building, and shall expect *h small sum of a dime from each iooker-on. I am going to attempt to raise a &d weight of two tons."

All the men and quite a number of the women went out, and enough townspeople came down to make a crowd of three hundred. The thin man passed around through the crowd and took up a collection, and he must have got an average of ten cents for every one present. When he had pocketed the money he approached several large grindstones lying in a heap and chained together and announced:

Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you kindly for your contributions. Here is a dead weight of 2,000 pounds. I shall attempt to lift it."

An iron book in the harness was hooked into the chain shackling the grindstones, and the thin man began to straighten up. He was encouraged and applauded by the crowd, but the strain he put out would not have raised fifty pounds. He kept at it three or four minutes, and then unhooked and backed off, and. said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's no use I cant do it I have tried and failed."

See here—this looks like a fraud!" exclaimed a man who had chipped in a quarter. Oh, dont say that!" sorrowfully replied the thin man. "You all saw me try." "But you led us to beliove you could lift 2,000 pounds." "Well, I was in hope® I could. I really wish I could, but 1 don't believe I ever can."

That's pretty dura thinl" growled red whiskers, "and I'm a good mind to give you a taste of my bootl"

Oh, please don't! 1 tried my best, and when a man has done his best such talk hurts his feelings. You don't know how badly I want to lift 2,000 pounds." "I believe you area fakir." "A fakir! Hear him, ladies and gentlvimen! Because I am not as strong as a dray horse he calls me a fakir! This ia too much— too much! I am used to adversity, but this breaks me!"

And he sat down on the 2,000 pounds of cold grindstones and wept like a child—wept until the crowd scattered, and he could get away with his $30 without being kicked.-— New York Sun.

A Modest Man.

A thin, careworn looking man, having a pencil and tablet in his hand, called at a house on Second avenue the other day, and n«td to the lady as she opened the door: "Madam, I am canvassing for subscriptions for a poor family. Will you put your name down for a small sum!" "Is it a worthy family!" "Yes, indeed." "Do you know them personally!" "I do, ma'am." "And they are really in need!" "They certainly are," "Very well—I'll give you a quarter."

She put her name down and handed him the money, and he had reached the gate when she called him back and said: "It has just occurred to me that this might be your own family.'*' "Exactly, ma'am. It is my family, but modesty forbade me to say so. I am not one who seeks to push himself forward, though I would doubtless get along better if I was. Thank you, ma'am. I know the family, and I assure you it is all right—all rightl"— Detroit Free Press.
