VOLUME 48.........ceeeeeeeeeees- NO. 18,233, ar EVENING WORLD ADVERTISING. During the first four months of this year The Evening World printed 3,416% columns of advertising, a gain of 9,424% columns over the corresponding period of last Year. In that time {ts nearest competitor gained 753 columns. This extraordinary increase of Evening World ad- Vertising represents both the accession of new adver- fsers and the more extensive use of its columns by old Advertisers, who through a course of years have tested ts value as a medium of publicity. Advertising that pays grows; advertising that grows pays. The advertiser, while recognizing the axiomatic truth of these propositions, {s apt to judge of the quality, of advertising and to decide upon its best vehicle largely by results, not always caring to analyze causes but resting content with the main fact that it brings returns. But he does not fail to realize that character is as important @s circulation in making the medium valuable to him. And it is by sanity, cleanliness and intelligence in the presentation of the news as well as by enterprise that character is acquired. ‘Mrs. Carlisle and Her Dying Horse.—It must have been @ very beautiful sight to see the wife of a former Sec- retary of the Treasury kneeling in Fifth avenue with the head of her injured horse in her lap, soothing him and petting him as he was dying. It was a kindly deed of a sort that is all too rare. An affection for animals !s a good trait in human beings; the love for a fine horse is ennobling. Mrs. Carlisle was born where the horse Is estimated at its pur value. Would a native New York fwoman have been capable of her public exhibition of compassion? It Is open to doubt. ae HUMBLE CHILDISH HEROISM. Little Anna Mclaughlin, saying as she was dying from agonizing burns: “It doesn't hurt much, Mickey, Don’t tell mamma; she'll worry;"” Little Augusta Kuehne, her leg crushed by a trolley @mr, saying: “Don't cry, mamma; I'm all night:” Little Katie Whalen, burning to death, crying out to hier younger sister, “Don’t come to me, baby; run to ‘mamma;" Little Harriet Allen, pushing her playmate from in front of the trolley car by which she was to lose her own ‘Life a moment later; Little Alexander Stewart, standing on the wagon pole of a contractor's cart and piloting the runaway team past children and saying afterward: “I just stopped that ‘team because I had to;” Little Joseph Dinard, saving his fellow cabin boy from being swept off the deck into the sea— What a glorious record of childish heroism as re- lated within ong week in the newspapers of New York! The eldest of these heroes thirteen, the youngest five. Forgetting themselves, thinking when in the direst pain! @md'at the approach of death only of the happiness of others, they rose to sublime hetghts of bravery. Their Geeds make the reader proud of the race. \ A BUSTED GOLCONDA, ‘A patrol wagor clangs down Wall street, half a dozen | Central Office men emerge and run up the steps into the fsumptuously furnished offices of the British-African| sinance Company and presto! a beautiful get-rich-quick | “bubble is pricked and roseate hopes of wealth are rudely -@ispelled.

The directorate contained high-sounding names of mythical “noblemen” and promoting appliances and devices of the lrecognized superior kind had been made use of. There “were millions in it, but the rude hand of the law clutched it too soon. PUSH-CART "GRAFT" ENDED. Highly instructive figures about pushcarts are fur- nished in a special repert to the Mayor by an east-side settlement worker. It appears that while the number of push-cart licenses issued during the last year of Tam- many rule was 2,120, under the Low government It has risen to 5,266. While the city received $8,480 from push- cart licenses during the last year of Van Wyck, it re- ceived $21,454 from the same source last year How is this extraordinary gain to be accounted for? Not on the theory of a multiplication of push-carts breaking all records, but by the simpler explanation that an end has been put to the payment of blackmail by Push-cart men, who now deal direct with the Bureau of Licenses. Competent observers testify that the number of carts bas not appreciably Increased. The logical in- “¥erenve must be that the city’s additional revenue of $13,000 represents the “graft” collected from the ward- Man's tax !n previous years on these humble forms of Merchandising. is proof of the abolition of blackmail is cortainly t@ gratifying showing, with which the reform adminis- jon is to be credited.

ETTY GREEN, !n moments of @: Pansiveness, likes to recall by- gone days. By her own showing she was, as a girl and white still Miss Robinson, the veritable “Belle of New York." She said recently: “In those days, no gathering of young people was complete without Hetty Kob- inson. "No," remarked a bystander, soto yoce, “and to-day no batch of lawsults seems complete without Hetty Green.” Judge Glegerich folded his newspaper carefully and looked solemnly at the 2p. They were lnughing heartily at one had told. ‘That wus witty, he said, “but {t was not nice. nor is ft the true version of the story. A friend of mine was one of the principal char- acters, It happened this way: ‘This friend of mine looks like J.

One day he went into a small shop and bought some things. When he came to Pay he found that the prices were ex- traordinary. He did not thave money enough to pay the bill and aald so. ‘That's all right, str,’ sald the smiling shopkeeper, whom he bad never seen before—that's all right, any other time Will do? ‘I'll send the change down,’ said my friend and walked out.

So after they get settied in their Jobs they get a way of answering that seems rough and impolite. They think they are giving the information in a business-like way. “Trouble 1s they don't size up people. Man says to me ‘Sixt’? or ‘Hahlem?
