Tho host ail'i'rlising that oan lio done with Ilio d*'alor is to show' him that adver¬ tising is iH'ing dono to bring him new and rotalii his pr*“sont eustomers.

.\n original soliomo for fro** advi'rlising w .'IS oiioo invontmt hy the late P. T. Bar tiuni. tho groat olroiis man.
«'orialn pooph' oonnootod wllh the .-Viuor ii-.in oomtunios woio regardml as a lawless sol, and. whon a oiroiis t'tiiuo to town, thort' was always a ft‘*'llng of fear and anxit'iy among tln' lo'.vns|i«'oph' that a riot might oi'oiir.
P. Bamnm was alxiiit to bring hi.s l.ig oiroiis to P.riilgoport, I'onn.. and found lli.it 'ho firt'ss Would not aooopt his advor tising.
It 'VMS ahsolnioly nm'ossary for Barnnin to advortiso, in ordor to oovor expenses and prolit l>osid«'s, and this is how ho did It;
Barnnin oallod on sovonil niiiilstt'rs, and, "iili till' oiH'h'st ohook iinaginahlo, ro • ini'siisl ilioni to annonni'o from tho pulpit on Sunday that his oiroiis wonld give a p*‘r fmni.'iiioo nil tlio folhiwing Wednesilay.
This, of ooiirso, oausod much indignation among tlio ministers of tho city, and they ros<dvod to oonsure Mr. Barniim and his hig slii.'v through the press.
The result was that everylsidy hoanl about P. T. Bamum coming to town with his hig show, and it didn't cost him a lioiiny, <‘ither.
••Tlio .Xmerieans want to be hunbtiggod. and I'll hiinibiic tliom," was an old saying of Bamuin's. and certainly this was a gmsl example of liow to do it.—Progressive .Ad¬ vertising.

THE CHURCH AND STAGE.
.\ well known ;ind popul:ir Itishop. in a
talk lo CiiK'inn.'iti niinislers on llie decline
of clnircli iillendain-e, last week, delivered
an excoriating aildress on the evils of tin*
iiKMlcrn stage and bill board advertising.
Coining from any one else the matter
would have l»-en given no serious consid
enition. but the s|i<-aker havitig serv.sl his
time in the ranks of the arttiy of new'spa|M‘r
workers, has always been given credit for
being broailer and less bigoted In his
I'liurch views than lie showed in his address
lo the ministers, .\fter tisi broadly insiii-
nating that an.\ woman who would witness
a performance of “Camille'' was not re-
spectable. tile Ucverelid itisliop Idasled
"immor.i.'' advertising on Idll lioards. tisik
a fall out of llie pis.r street car conductor
anil motorman for daring to earn a living
liy working on Sunday, excoriattsl clioirs
wlio dare to ask compensation for singing
in llie cliiirclies on Sunday, and llieii wotind
np willi llie following reinarkalde siatc-
uieiil:
‘•I’rcacliers do not receive llieir salaries
for preacliing saivalion on Sunday; tlial is
free. Tliey are paid for luiilding up the
clinrcli as pastors."
No'/ 'I'lieii wliy pay tiiem at all'; Tliere
certainly I'an not lie any dispensation of
fne salvation witliotii tlie luiilding up of
the churcli. and since the building up of
the church Is onl.v incidental to the hand
ing out of free salvation, why pay the
preachers at .'ill'; * • •
If our friend the I’ishop would or could
realize the true situation of affairs, he
would find that it is such ridiculous argil
nients and theories as he advances, more
than anything else, whicli tends to lessen
church ;iltendance and desire for ''fi'ts*"
salvation. It is strange, but l me. that not
withstanding the repeatisl and uncalled-for
attacks on the stage :ind circus liy religious
bodies, the stage and circus is first to the
rescue when the churcli calls for aid.
People in the “show business" are tisi
broad and charitable to resent these at
lacks of the church, because, not withstand
ing the Bishop's assurances to tlie eon
Irary. they realize tliat even preachers have
to imike a living, whether it be on Sunday
or any other day. If jirejichers and bishops
would be as honest and frank with their
congregations as "show" people are with
their audiences, and admit tlial they “mH»d
the money," there would be more confi¬
dence and respect between pastor and par
ishioner, r.nd |es> complaint regarding small
congregations. It is the h.vpocracy iind pre
tense of indifference lo the value of the
tilmighly doll:ir, as well as the interfer
eiice with llieir prival*' rights as citizens,
which church going people resent, and
which accotinls for tin- growing decre.-ise in
church attendance and increase in the size
of amusement atidieiices. • • •
A STORY WITH A MORAL,
The prediction m.'idi' by "The Billboard"
recently that the attendance at the Charles
ton l':xpositlon would Incre.-ise with the ad
ministration of F. II. .Mc<Jar\i<- as super
iiifendeiit of advertising and spis-ial days.
I has licen verilied. In ii Icllcr to "The Bill
! board," which will be found in another col
unin of 'his issue, Mr. Chas. Bernard, the
well know II bill poster, who has plants in
I Charleston. Savannah and .\ugus|:i, tia..
I and who is in position to know wlial In'
! is talking about, says that since .Mr. .M<
Carvic look Indd of the adwriising at
i Charleston three advertising cars have lusui
kept busy posting paper within a radius ol
live liiindrcd miles of Charleston, to s;i.\
noihing of L'l.iioo slieels of poster papr-r,
whicli liave been poslisl b.\ the B<-rnard
Co. thi'onghout the same territory. In ad
dition, .Mr. .McC.irvic is getting out liri.ikki
sheets of paper, w hii'li w ill be posltsl for
future special days. The ri'siill of these
I'tTorls and judicious adverlisiiig lias liceti
that visitors arc fairly llocking to the
Chari ‘Stoll i;\posilion. i'incinnali 1 biy was
the llr-l liig day the l.vposiiion laid, lie
cans.- it was well advertised by posters,
rile four days id' .Mardi (Jims ami I'resi
dent's Day, even without the presence of
the Chief Lxeciilive, were winners, lii-cause
of judicious advertising. Last Saturday
was Military Day, and f.u"" strangers
passed through the gates at Charlesioii.
There are two morals in all this, which
an of special signilicance to the directors
of the coming Louisiana l’urchas<‘ Lxposi
lion. The lirsl is that the i;.\iiosiiion can
not .iiid will not be a siiccc-.s unless it is
<‘\t< iisivcly adM'i'lised on tin- bill boards all
over the world; the second is. that .Mr. Me
Carvi.- is i in- man to do the advi-rtising, if
it shall III- done judiciously. clTec|i\ely and
sui‘cessfully.
THE CLASSICS IN MUSIC.
Tile writer of a popular "coon" .song, in
contiding to a reporter how he develope«l
into a "composer," said, among other
things;
"1 fell the inspiration in me to compose something that would last, something that Would enter into and become a p:iri of the literal lire of music, :ind 1 gate myself to it as only the artist can. When my mas- lei'piice was incubating 1 itractically oslra- <‘ised myself from family and fri<‘nds. Croat subjects can not be'treated lightly.
"I have, lioweMT, tiirmsl out some oiiier I'omposiiions of wlili-h. I believe, 1 have reason to feel (iroud. There is one which has bts‘ome itoimlar in New York. That came to me one evening after 1 had re turned from :i birthday |iart.v. I recognized it at once as material for a classic, and I gave my whole mind to the iirodiiotiou. 'file success it has achieved fully repays me tor the brain work 1 e.xpeinled on it."
Now. will the deinn-tors of "ragtime"
and "<oou siiifl" behave'.- it is no fool
joke when oiie feels tile ins|iiraiioii to write
a gem like "1 tiiiess 'I'hal'll Hold You for
a While." or ".Mazie, .Mali Itusky Ltalsy,”
or to ostracise one's self from "family and
friends as only the artist can." "'i'he Bill
board." wliite it has always had a warm
s|ioi in its heart for "r.-igs" and "c«s»n
sniff." has never a|i|>r<‘ciated until now the
f,i< I tlial both ;ire to be coiisidcia'd as
among tin- "classics." .-ind "a iiail of the
literature of music;" but we know better
low, and we a|i<dogize for our ignorance
and failure to a|>|ircciale herciofoi-.- the ar¬
tistic in miisii-. In the fiiliiie wc shall ex
pe<‘t sin-h .-irtisis .-Is I'adercwski and Ku¬
belik to prove "ilo-ir u|> to dalciicss" and
