It is probable that more individual
people of the world know the face of
Mr. Douglas than that of any other
living man, be he king, statesman, au
thor or scientist.Persistently, for more
than a quarter of a century, Mr. Doug- '
las nas advertised his line of manufac
tures by his portrait, and the result of
' this policy, combined with marvellous
executive ability, is that today he ranks
as one of the wealthiest men of New
j England.
1 A Washington friend tells an inter
esting story -concerning Mr. Douglas
and his advertising methods. Thev
didn't publish pictures in the daily pa
pers when Mr. Douglas first entered
business for himself, in 187C. No ad
vertiser had ever made a practice of
printing his portrait. Mr. Douglas's
business was small. He had begun it
on a borrowed capital of $875. and he
believed that the way to increase it
was to advertise. He was a clever ad
writer in the days when there were few
men following that as a business. He
thought out some good indeas and
others copied them.
One night he was walking home from
his factory with his head bowed in
thought. He had concluded that there
was no use to put originality in his ad
vertising, so long as it was of a sort
that other and larger manufacturers
could copy. And as he pondered his
eyes chanced to light upon a long bill
board, blazing from one end to the
other with lurid and inviting descrip
tions of the gloiies of Barnum's circus
In the center of the hoard, occupying
the space from the top-piece to the
ground, was a picture of P. T. Barnum.
' They can't copy Barnum's adver
tising so long as he has his picture in
it," was his thought, and the idea that
has contributed so largely to his busi
ness success followed like a flash. The
next morning he set out to put into
effect the combination of picture and
attractive wording in advertising. He
then and since, however, stuck to his !
belief that newspaper advertising was
better in its results than the billboards.
Today the face and the wares of Mr.
Douglas could not be more disassociat
ed than could be the Kaiser and his
moustache. The Kaiser shaved hismous
iache, but no one would believe the
ensuing pictures were of him. Mr.
Douglas could cease to join his feat
ures and his shoes in his advertising,
but the public would not believe they
were the same kind of shoes.

New York, March 23. In the pres
ence of a notable assemblage of
persons prominent in the social life
of New York and other cities, Miss
Julia Kean Fish. daughter of Hamil
ton Fish, this afternoon became the
bride of William Lawrence Breese,
son of Mrs. Henry O. Higgins, of
London.
The ceremony was performed in
St. James's Church, the interior of
which was superbly decorated with a
mass of nalms and other greens and
cut flowers in profusion. On account
of the marriage being solemnized
during Lent there was no choral
service, and the wedding reception
at the Fish home in East Seventy
seventh street was a comparatively
small one, the invitations being re
stricted to relatives and a small
number of intimate friends.
The bride was given away by her
father, and Bishop Courtney was the
officiating clergyman. The bride's
attendants were her sisters, the
Misses Janet and Rosamond Fish.
The bride's gown was an exquisite
creation of white satin and lace and
she carried a bouquet of white orchids
and lilhes of the valley.
The best man was Mr. Rupert Hig
gins, of London, stepbrother of the
bridegroom, and the ushers were the
Messrs. Hamilton Fish, Jr., Stuyves
ant Fish, Jr., James Lawrence Breese,
Jr., William B. Rogers, Seymour
Johnson, Wistar Kendall, Thomas
Batelle and Charles Lawrence.
The wedding of Miss Fish and Mr.
Breese unites two families of great
social prominence on both sides of
the Atlantic. The bride is the grand
daughter of the late Hamilton Fish,
Secretary of State under President
Grant, and a niece of Stuyvesant
Fish, the railroad magnate and finan
cier. Mr. Breese, the bridegroom,
comes of an old New York family.
His mother, after the death of Mr.
Breese, was married to Henry O.
Higgins, and has since resided abroad
One of the bridegroom's sisters, the
former Miss Eloise Breese, is the wife
of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, and
another sister, the former Miss Anna
Breese, was recently married to
Lord Alastair Innes-Ker, heir pre
suptive to the honors of his brother,
the Duke of Roxburghe.

It is claiming a good deal to say
that there has been a new idea

is certainly substantiated in the play.
"A Messenger Boy." The cheerful
pictures of real life, the sweetness ot
pure affection and the love of the
domestic hearth, all brightened by the
sense of the comic rather than tin
tragic. It would be fitting for the
opera house manager to put these
words above the door, "Abandon care
all ye who enter here," when this
bright, joyful comedy comes to town.
The story is of a boy who was thrown
on the mercy of the world, having
been stolen rom a is parents in his
infancy, pictures his struggle through
early life, his efforts to find out his
parentage with no clue except a
birthmark on fiis arm. After years
of struggle he goes to Europe, dis
covers he is a son of Von Bock ol
Germany, returns to America as
such, meets out justice to his perse
cutors and claims the girl of his
choice.
"A Messenger Boy" will be offered
as the attraction at the Academy of
Music tonight. Seats are now selling
at Hawley's.
The talented young actress, Miss
Mary Emerson, will be seen at the
Academy of Music Saturday matinee
and night in Louis Evan Shipman's
stirring, romantic play of the south,
"On Parole."
"Constance Pinckney." a young
southern gir!, carrying dispatches be
tween two branches of the Confeder
ate army, is surprised and pursued by
Major Dale, chief of the Intelligence
service of the federal army. She
takes refuge in a mountain hut and
quickly changes her riding habit for
the calico dress of a mountain girl,
and when the Yankees' arrive under
Dale, she is discovered baking corn
bread. She succeeds in misleading
Dale and sends him off on the wrong
road. Arriving at Pinckney Place,
her home, she hands the despatches
to her brother, Captain Robert Pinck
ney of the Confederate army, to carry
to General Lee, and tells him of the
approach of the Yankees under Dale.
Upon Major Dale's arrival he is
puzzled by the resemblance of the
beautiful girl before him to the one
he had met in the mountain cabin.
Accidentally catching sight of the
mud-bespattered habit, he is satisfied
of the girl's identity, but keeping his
suspicions to himself, he places the
household under arrest and puts
Constance on "Parole." Love springs
up between the southern girl and
Major Dale, and, Constance regrets
the plan she has laid for his capture
and tries to induce him to leave.
Failing in this she decides to in
tercept her brother but is stopped by
the sentries and her lover thinks
she has tried to break her parole. A
force of Confederate cavalry now ar
rives and captures Dale, who thinks
that he has been tricked by Constance
who is reallv in an agony of grief
over the situation. This scene is the
rlimax of the third act, said to be
one of the strongest ever written for
the stage by Mr. Shipman who is a
past master in the art of playwriting.
The fourth and last act is devoted to
straightening out the complications
and all ends happily.
