. The Deadly Blackball.
The members of tvmof the most fa-
mous clubs in New York haw determined
to draw a very tight line so far as rcquirtL
ments for membership are concerned.
Each is a class organization. one being
the Authors‘ club and theother the Met-
ropolitan club. or. as it is often spoken of
by rank outsiders. the Millionaires' club.
The increasing exclusion of these clubs
is shown in both cases by the recent
blackballing of candidates. Curiously
enough, each of the men blackballed has
been unusually successful in the very
lines wherein success would two!" to in
sure admission to the club rejecting him.
Archibald Clavering Ullllltfi'. the author
of “Mr. Barnes of New York." ”Mr.
Potter of Texas" and other rapidly will.
lug works of fiction, is tho- man who has
been barred by the Authors'. and Edward
0. Wolcott. United States senator and
several times a millionaire, is the one to
whom the Millionairm‘ denied admission.
The reasons for Mr. Hunter‘s rejection
lie in the character of his stories. It is
not claimed that they are immoral, dull
or too abstrusoufar from itwbut in the
Judgment of those members who cast the
fatal blackball these works are not “lit-
stature." Just what then:- crilics would
call “literalurrfis not apimrnnt to "It“
ordinary reader or writer either. it is
certain that “Mr. Barnes of Now York”
and “Mr. Potter of Texas" are not “jour-
nalism." They may not be anything oi
every high grade. although tho-y have en-
joyed a very large sale. but. in the ordi
nary acceptance of the term they must
certainly be termed “literature." Per-
haps the Authors’ club meant by reject-
ing 1dr. Gunter to express to the world
the opinion that his books are not litera-
ture of a high class. in which view doubt
Is. many would agree.
The reasons for Mr. Welcott's rejec-
tion are not so clear. Housman of
wealth sud? of M1 position, and the
Iatropolltan club is still far short at its
“mop limit. One thing is de-
clared lobe certain in both cases-Mr.
Gunter and Senator Wolcott were alike
shalom to income members before they
was blackhalied, but new they consider
Wm lucky in being barred, and

Right 0! Petition.
ropes of the Casey movement it
she ld not be forgotten that the right of
petit on and of the people to peacefully
use bio for discussion and mutual sup-
port in lawful actions is implied in the
republican form of government. The
first amendment to the constitution pro-
tects the right of assembly and petition
for a redress of gricvsnccs so far as the
national government is concerned. The
state constitutions generally, if not al-
ways, protect that right so far as it comes
within their scope.
But the right of a people to assemble
to discuss matters of a public or private
nature is to be distinguished from an as»
sembly with intent to commit violence
on persOns or property, to resist the exe-
cution of the laws, to disturb the public
order or for the perpetration of acts cre-
ating terror or alarm. Such unlawful
assemblies are not protected by state or
national constitutions.
Of course these facts are generally uii~
derstood, but it is Well enough to state
them clearly once in awhile. and to not
lose sight of the fact that the first amend-
ment to the constitution provided that
congress should make no law abridging
the "right of the people peaceably to as-
sembleand to petition the government
for a redress of their grievances."
Edmund Clarence Stcdman's poem,
"The Diamond Wedding." published in
1859, one of his earliest productions and
which helped greatly in building up his
young fame, has been recalled in New
York by the return to America of the

vast wealth known as Senor Don Este-
ban Santa Cruz do ()vimio. It was the
number of diamonds and other precious
stones given by him to his bride that in-
spired the poem. Tho-bride's father was
so angry about the verses that be ex-
pressed a desire to call the. gentle Sled-
uinu out. but no blood was shed. The
Cuban died some years ago. and his wid-
ow married a German named Von Glu-
iner. Now be is also dead, and Mme.

The salesmen of Norwaik will undoubt-
edly understand the full meaning of the
Annuals Sentinels statement that hard
times are u trying on the nerves of the
clerks as it is on the bank accounts of
the merchants. When money comes
easily it goes in the same way, but when
it comes hard purchasers are hard to
suit. want to get the best for their money,
and will stand and hassle nVer a bargain
simply because they are afraid there is a
better one elsewhere. Clerks, sea gen-
eral thing, are as polite and accommodat.
ing as anyone desires toseetbein. but
when a man is selling goods rapidly
and the amount of sales arows bigger
and bigger, his heart expands and
be is jelly and even sometimcs
tells funnystories. But in these times
things have changed. He tries to
bathe same as ever. but when a woman
enters a store, makes him haul down half
his stock and then buys a spool of thread
at some other counter, he gets a little
mad. If he isa clerk in a clothing more
he can't bear tospend fifteen minutes
watchinga woman select a twenty-live
Cent cap. i
The public just now is wry hard to,
suit. 1119. people, besides being slow in
purchasing, are buying the cheap and
inexpensive articles. The crowds in the
stores are apparently just as large and it
takes the same number of clerks to wait
upon the people. The number of sales is
also just about aslargs, but when the
amounts are footed upit is found that
these figures are away behind. line
rtason for this is that the merchants
have marked everything close and the
profits are smaller and then, as stated,
people are. buying the cheap articles.

The well-written. sensible advertise-
ment, attracting you by its business-like
make—up. its forcible statements. its mat
appearance, is like the attractive sign on
abnsinessdike store. It causes you to
remember what is offered by the adver-,
tisor. The prominent and interesting‘
facts are impressed on your mind, and
even when you lay the paper down you
have a pretty clear remembrance of what
you have read. all because. the whole
thing was presented in an attractive
manner; and il this result can be obtain‘
ed, an advertiser has all that he can re: - l
sonably expect to secure. 3
The theory that attracting attention!
will sell goods is a mighty poorone for}
tho storekeeper to believe in. I
To be sure, it will help sell guide; but:
to make it edective the advertise-menu
must be backed up by facts. and withal :

ilnish reading your article.
An advertisement should have an air(
of individuality. Like a certain spring ,
tonic, it should be "peculiar to itself.";
Care should be taken, however. not to‘
imitate. Because one man has made at
wonderful success by his methods of ad-i
venising,«it does not follow that another '
man can repeat that success by imitation-
ln fact it is generally a detriment rather !
than an advantage to copy after others. ‘
The success of many of our now promi-
nent firms has been due to the exceeding 4
quaintness, the novel features,the curious 1
style, etc, of their advertisements, but,
above all. to their attractiveness. Right
there is the sum and substance of good
adveitislng—attraotiveness: not the old
stereotyped forms—the century old meth-
ods of our respected forefathers-but
something new and bright. smoothing
