Senator Voorhees says he wouldn't be surprised if the Senate amend the Wilson bill so as to provide for a tax on firearms and cartridges.

What a Successful Advertiser Has to Say He Shows How He Increased Sales Thirty to Forty Per Cem. j Charles Austin Bates, who has charge of the advertising of the New York store at Indianapolis, one of the largest de partment stores in the West, writes for Printer's Ink an instructive article on 'Advertising a Department Store." After explaining how he used the money appropriated for the purpose, and show- no; how he increased the sales 30 to 40 per cent., he gives some valuable hints on the preparation of announcements Make your advertisements plain you can't make th-m too plain. Make them honest and make them read honestly. Make the reader believe that the store methods are as open as the day. Take him into your confidence and tell him how you came to have such-and-such at so low a price tell him "why." Be consistent. Don't say in an ad to day, "We never carry anything over," and to-morrow, or in a week or a month. "Here are a few high novelties carried over from last fall; they must go to make room for new things." (I saw these identical words in the advertise ments of a dry goods store lately, and not a week apart.) Be earnest, People are not going to believe vou are running an eleemosynary establishment. No store that I know of is particularly desirable as a health re sort. People know that you advertise to get their trade, and that there's a profit in it. Don't say you are selling at loss unless you are. and then give some plausible reason lor it. 11 you ve got a good thing, don't be afraid to say so as if you meant it. Put ginger in It. Big type isn t necessary. Put it into the words, just as you would if you had your listener by the button-hole. But with all this : Be pleasant. Throw in a little joke a light and piquant sentence or saying occasionally, just to liven things up a lot. in the same way that a lew spots of color do a window dress of white coods A great deal about advertising is un certain, but some things I know. If know them so well that I wonder bow any body ever doubted them. One thing is that the highest-priced paper is likely to be the cheapest. Another is that adver tising in dull seasons and on "off days" pays, and pays big. To Our Subscribers. In consequence of the protracted sick ness of our travelling agent, Mr. W. B.

Clapp& Co., of New York, in their "Weekly Market Letter," January llth, say: I The trade generally appear; to be re ducing their crop estimates in propor tion to the tailing off in interior receipts. Seventy three and a half percent, of the cotton yearly coming in sight brdinarily occurs the first lour months of a crop year or before January 1. But few weeks usually elapse before the interior move ment talis off sharply, The world s visible supply is now around the maxi mum (which was reached February 26, 1891. when 4,720.873 bales were insight in the United States, afloat and in Eu rope). Spinners' reported takings in Manchester and on the continent are liberal and fully up to general expecta tions. Southern and Northern spinners arc reported as slowly increasing their purchases. Speculation has broadened.; outside trade is more scattered and'.mre gener al. More confidence and better prices seem to be expected by the better ele ment of the cotton trade as well as the grower and factor who continue to be very bullish. Exports about -keep pace with the general movement in . propor tion to average seasons. The Indian crop is reported as fully equaling an average. About a year ago the crop was considered as about 1.200.000 bales, against 1,467.000 for 1891-2. "The Day We Celebrate."

C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1894. FIRES YESTERDAY- Lulhor Memorial Building Burned Lou Estimated at $5,000, With Insurance for Half the Amount A Beaidence on Prlii oesa Street on Fire The Tlamea BpeedilyflExtraffuiahed A Dwelling and a Store Burned. The Luther Memorial Building was destroyed by fire yesterday about one o'clock. At 12.45 o'clock fire was discovered on the roof of the residence of Mrs. L. M. Williams, No. 510 Princess street. Some of the neighbors who discovered the fire ran to the Atlantic Engine House, a block and a half distant. About the time they readied the engine house an alarm was turned in from box No. 82, corner of Sixth and Princess streets, for a fire n the Luther Memorial Building on the same corner. The engines reached the scene and put out the first fire in short order. The damage to Mrs. Williams' house was a hole about nve feet square burned in the shingle roof, and a general flooding of the interior. There was no insurance on this building, nor on Mrs. Williams' furniture. But the Luther Memorial Building fire was a fierce and stubborn one. The steeple was in a blaze before the fire was discovered, and lor some time the water supply was weak and the streams did not reach the roof of the building. A stiff breeze was blowing from the West, and every one expected to see the Lutheran parsonage. which was scorching with the intense heat, consumed also. A few cottages just back ot the Memorial building caught from sparks, but the flames were extinguished by a bucket brigade, which did good service. The heat from the fire was very in tense, the tin root being red hot, and the Fire Department could do but little ex cept protect the adjoining property by keeping it soaked with water. About 1 o'clock the steeple fell with a crash, crushing the roof and causing the flames to leap high. At the time the fire was discovered the Parochial School, with about forty scholars, was in session, and it is due to the coolness of Miss. Florence L. Bonitz and her assistant, Miss Annie Stemmer- man, that there was no panic among the scholars. They marched out of the building safely, carrying their books with them. The building was erected about ten years ago 'lor bt. fault Evangelical Lutheran Church Sunday School and the Parochial (day) school, and was also used for church festivals, concerts and entertainments. It was a handsome structure, built of the best material, and everybody regrets the loss. The build ing was insured for $2,500, about half what it cost, and there was $300 insur ance on the fixtures and furniture; all in the Etna of Hartford, with Messrs. At kinson & Son. A piano and organ were saved, and part of the school furniture; but the library was a total loss. It is supposed that the fire originated from sparks from a tinner's fire-pot which was lelt by the workmen who were re pairing the roof and had gone to dinner. The school committee, which consists of Messrs. John Rehder, chairman; L. Hansen, L. Vollers, C. Schulken, and H. Gerdts, met yesterday afternoon, and de cided that the Parochial school will continue. The children will meet at the church Lecture room at the usual time of opening. The fire last night at 11.30 o'clock was on the corner of Seventeenth and Mar ket streets in a two-story dwelling and store adjoining, owned and occupied by Wm. Swann, colored. Both buildings were burned down; on account of the distance to the nearest hydrant seven blocks the firemen could not get water to put out the fire. The dwelling was insured for $1,000; furni ture, $300; store. $100, and stock therein, $300. Most of the goods in the store were saved. The insurance was in com panies represented by Messrs. Atkinson & Son. The buildings might have been saved if water had been available. COTTON FACTS AND FIGURE3. Sales in Wilmington yesterday at 1c lor middling.
