Boost Richmond.
Nearly two-thirds of the. \<)<j mem?
bers of tho Ulclimond Advertisers'
Club attended a smoker In the roonia
of the Dtislnesa Men's Club lust night,
tho feature of the evening being au
address by C. T. Norman, of O II. berry
& Co., on the uubject, "What Is Ad
veriislng?'' Mr. Norman's exposition of
tho subject was comprehensively
bundled, and the points brought oiit
?were nxcoodingly Interesting, bolng
founded, as tho speaker said, "on ac?
tual experience und an eye. to re?
sults."
"Jiach has his own deiinltlon for 'ad
?\ertlslng'; and although two may ap?
parently coincide," he said, "yet In
their application It Invariably will bo |
found that their working principles i
?.re different and divergent. Howovor,
regardless of the personal significance
of udvertlBing or of methods puraued.
Its ultlmalo object Is to sell.
"It Is to bo doubted If any other
Mingle force?the public school system
and churches excepted?wields so great I
uii inllucnco as does advertising. Many |
of the good things'of lifo we owo to:
It. Advertising nan as Its final result, {
aervlco. Human progress used to move ,
?lowly. To-day, the roan who haa do- i
vised something to make life easier, ,
f.ati.r. moro comfortable und more !
economical, takes the publlo Into hin i
< onildence. and In a month or a year,
ua the case may be, every ono is oori
vereant with his product and has be
oomo educated to its use.
"The right sort of advertising Is
reciprocal In lta advantages. It will
on the other hand destroy thoso who
prostitute Its power. The 'bad will
out In advertising.'"
Great Tbing for Otsy.
.dr. Norman In closing bis address
said:
'?you have all observed and doubtleaa
been struck with the suave pungency
of the displayed lines appearing dally
at the bottom of the front pagea of
our daily papora, prociuliuing our city's !
advantages .und achievements. As an j
advertising man and a citizen. 1 want
Hist to compliment the idea thus do
dcttly executed by thin club, and to ,
applaud the efforts ai being worthy j
of thts public-spirited institution, und!
of the warmest appreciation and com?
mendation of tho people of thtu great
city whose internst? you thus tcek to j
verve,
"It U meet also tjiat note bo made
of tho cheerful co-opera tlon of our
loyal nowspapers in hert-.lding these
jjood features of our city to the world,
us after all wc may doceivo ourselves I
us to the penetration of our city's pub?
licity, as evidenced by a little dispute ;
Which took place between two ladles i
i rom Uallimore who were In attend-!
unco upon the recent convention of ]
tlio United Daughters ol the Confed
? racy at the Jeffertioti Hotel.
"They were walklug down Franklin I
Street together, one afternoon, when

n mighty tine hotel, and handsome
homes and streets for a town of 37,duo 1
population.' The other replied, 'Why
It has tlO.000 population, I think.' 1
wae appealed to by the luttor to state
which was correct. J was poiltlvoly
ridiculed when J told them we were

[limine?? Men Commend It.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Norman'/.
d.s. President Field culled npofi

vantages offered by Richmond in Its
iciw ia\ iato and natural location to

nearly every Uichmonder who de?
cries his own city by comparison with
home 'other town does so on hearsay,
and can rarely substantiate his Htui?
>nenta when called upon for concrete
facts. The chronic kicker came in for
ii low hard Jolto from Alderman Adams,
und tils talk evoked the heartiest op
plauso,
To tVsge War on Falters.
J. ^. Hill, of the Hill Directory Com?
pany, called attention to the fact that
the Ad. Club of the United States in
connection with the Directory Associa?
tion, had waged an unceasing warfare
during tho past year or so on the fake
advertising man and his schemes, and
had succeeded in almost eliminating
tho pest from the legitimate advertis?

H. Rowe, of the Southern Seminary, at
Buenu Vista, offered a resolution
against dancing, and In explanation
said that ho wished to discourage the
desire for that form of amusement ou
the part of some of the young women
who attended the seminary. The reso?
lution caused considerable debate, Drs.
I. lpscomb. O. C. Kelly and several oth?
ers taking the ground that no action
was necessary. Other speakers de?
clared that tho conference ohoutd not
conllno its disapproval to dancing, but
should go on record against similar
"worldly amusements."
A substitute resolution, offered by
Dr. Cannon, wan finally adopted, call?
ing attention to the church's ruling on
these questions. It was us follows:
"Whereas, dancing Is contrary to the
spirit of our discipline and the New
Testament, und is opposed to the tradi?
tions and teachings of our church?
"Resolved, tlrst, That we urgo tho
authorities of our schools and colleges
to maintain the principles and tradi?
tions bf our church on this subject.
"Second, that we earnestly Commend
to our people tho address of our bishop
un worldliness and worldly amuse?
ments."
One of the most spirited debates of
the session was provoked by '.he above
resolutions.
Refers to Ilrnttlr Cave.
Bishop Ktigo made a strong address,
In which he pointed to the Bcattlc casu j
as un example of the evils to which
dancing led.

ple to It as a centre.
The following resolution offered by
Dr. J. w. Bledu?e and signed by a
number of the members of tho confer?
ence was unanimously adopted:
"Having learned that our beloved
brother. Dr. W. W. Smith, chancellot
of our Randolph-Macon systoni ol
schools and colleges and a member ot
our conference, while on his way to
Hie .seat of the conference, sustained
n powerful and possibly a serious In?

"Resolved, That we assure. our
brother ot our heartfelt sympathy
and prayers In his behalf, humbly ask
in the Great Physician to give effi?
ciency to the remedies employed for
hl? recovery, and that his useful life
may bo sparod to hla family and the
church, and to his home, In Which ho

former gambler, before the Civil Ser- j

gallon Into public gaming and other
vices. Brolaskl said he came to Chi?
cago last May at the request of Ben?
jamin Hyman and other friends, with
tho Intention of InvosUgatlug gam?
bling and cleaning up tho city. Hoi
said he found Chicago a wide-open
town, with Igamblitig gontrollsfd by
Mont Tonnes, Tom McQlnnls and |
otbere. "I went into a deal with Hy
man and we rented offices downtown
with tho intention of getting at the
bottom of things and exposing them,"
eald Brolaattl. Hyman apparently was
on Intimate terms with Chief of Police
McWeeney and Pollco Inapector Hunt.
1 made written reports of conditions
.-is I found them to Hyman by mailing I
them to a post-office box, which I was ?
told had been rented by Chief Mc- ,
Wecney. Hyman told me he had a ,
fund of |40,000. which was used In
"easing up public officials."
Brolaskt testified Chat the following
amounts were paid by gamblers and
resort keepers In the First Ward for
protection: All-night saloons, $fiQ
month; all-night saloons having music,
$75 a month; crap games. $?U a month;
poker games, $25 a month; resorts sell?

Thirty merchants, representing .'.mail
business house;; on the West Side, vis?
ited Mayor Harrison to-day lo urge
that he temper a recent order driving
vicious saloons and other Illegal places
off Madison Street, a business artery
of the West Side. They argued that
the llrat effect of tho order had been
to decrease their business from 20 to |
60 per cent,
"Wo are tied up there. Our pocket
books are there." complained a mer?
chant. ''Driving those folks out will
mean an Influx of undesirable people
from a trade standpoint. IVc believe !
-thee ought to be allowed to stay. It
means our business salvation."
Mayor HarrUon, after telling his
[visitors that he was determined In -his
project to drive all vicious characters
off the Street, denounced tho commit?
tee, and onded by saying: "Business
men who would champion such condl
l Hons for the sake of supporting their
bualtiess uro not entitled to the sym?
pathy of decent men."
Remarkable Christmas j
Present
Among the curious Christmas pres?
ents of this year will be one for a man
of national reputation, which has been
all year In the making.
Way last January tho present was
decided upon, and a friend of the prom?
inent gentleman requested the BurralU j
Press. Clipping Bureau, of New York,
to watch every paper In America and ]
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed j
Instructions, and now present the hla- !
lory of one year in tho life of this
especial man.
The hlatory ends Just after election,
and the 20,6*2 newspaper Items found!
Include everything from a three-line
editorial mention to tull-page Illus?
trated stories. Theso have been mount?
ed on 3.200 great sheets of Irish linen
paper and bound Into threo massive
volumes.
At tho head of each item Is the name
and date of paper clipped from, this
I Information having been put in with a
book typewriter. The words thus ln
I serted amount to 153,262.
In actual time, a very strict racord
I of which has been kept, the work has
i required sixty-four working days
! .hrougbout tho year, and haa kept in
' employment during that time tnirty
people, as readors, clippers sorters
mounters and -binders. Every news?
paper of Importance Is represented.
This la merely a specimen of some ol
the unique orders which get Into the
Burrelle Bureau, for tho extent to
which clippings are ujed by Individuals
and by bujlr.ess concerns seems to bu
remarkable.
There are many people in private as
' well aa In public lifo who need press
clippings and don't know it. It might
be well for them to look up this mun
Burrollo, who Is said to be so weli
known that a letter simply addressed
"Burrelle. New York." will reach him
with no delay.

ment bonds and money now. in the
