VOLUME 4B......-cesecseeseereeeee-NO, 18,270 EVENING WORLD ADVERTISING. This is the comparative advertising showing of The Rvening World for the corresponding periods of 1903 and 1902, It is an unrivalled 1vzord of growth: Columns. Gain in May, 1903 OOUNOUDO 425% Gairi im March, April and May, 1903.... 1,243% Gain in the first five months of 1903.... 1,850 During the three spring months of this year The @vening World carried more paid display advertising than any other New York evening paper. Why? There {s no sentiment about advertising. It is a careful calculation of the return on the money invested. Mistakes are made by advertisers, but they are 80 readily discoverable that it is accepted as axiomatic that advertising that pays grows; advertising that grows pays. Two elements go to make up the circulation that | Days the advertiser, quantity and quality, both as ossen-| ‘tial as the hydrogen and the oxygen are to water. If) @uantity alone sufficed the merchant could find a hundred media as extensive as even the big daily pa- pers at far less of an outlay. But he would not get the _/ bearing he requires. ‘That 1s to be secured through the columns of a paper that regularly goes into the greatest number of homes of the community in which he displays his goods for inspection and sale. Quantity is not enough. Business does not come from the idle, the thriftless, the improvident, the shift- less and the discontented. It comes from the home where comfort is the study and where the paper of in- dependence, sobriety, sincerity and moderation enters Tegularly as one of its comforts. THE SERVIAN TRAGEDY. ‘The deed of assassination in Servia horrifies all Ohristendom; the violent slaughter of a monarch {s a erime at which more than at any other civilization Stands aghast. Yet when we subordinate our detestation of the deed and our sympathy with its victims for a hasty analysis of the causes which brought it about we inevitably reach conclusions which temper and restrain any ex- treme manifestation of emotion. ‘What a parody of kingliness have we had in Servia! An unworthy and degenerate line of monarchs, equally contemptible on the throne or as “kings in exile” on the boulevards of Parts, viclous and sodden. The one redeeming member of this debased royalty Milan's un- happy but womanly queen; the others a corrupt frult, and the story of their reigns a chronicle of intrigue and infamy. ecuan 2 How like in its reality and not&bly in its tragic out- ‘gome 4s this true tale of Servian rule and revolution to ‘the fiction of the Anthony Hope school. The con- spiracy, the struggle in the palace, ‘the King with wide Slashes of his weapon clearing the darkened chamber,” the commander of the palace guard cut down as he was “fighting the invaders at the foot of the grand stair- case’—we rub our eyes to expel the vision of Kyrle Bellew and memories of Weyman and to realize that this is sober fact of fearful kind presented to us, not on the boards, but in real life for our shocked and startled attention. \ MEDICAL PROSECUTIONS.

In addition to the doctors who are now under bail for exam- ination and whose innocence wé should be glad to see proved eight others have been arrested and thirty or More are yet to be proceeded against. We are prom- Ised a most welcome purging of unprofessionalism. The community had its faith in pharmacists rudely shaken by ‘the disclosures of adulteration {n drugs com- pounded into prescriptions. The deluded patrons of the east side physicians under suspicion have had an even ruder shock given thelr confidence in men in whose _ integrity they trusted implicitly. Among the hundreds of thousands of doctors In the ation, in the 5,000 who annually receive diplomas from medical schools of all kinds and conditions it would be teo much to expect an undeviating standard of honor- mble conduct. Yet the public 1s inclined to feel that a doctor should be as jealous of his reputation as a cler- gyman. The cure of the body is conceived by some to be as exalted a calling as the care of the soul.

GS. Bangs, the Stock Exchange humorist and brother to John Kendrick Bangs, was a guest of the clags of "93 at Columbia's commencement dinner Wed- nesday night. Watching the jostling, laughing, howling crowd of revellers who for the itime were boys again, Bangs observed sadly: “I spent $500 In golng to Palm Beach last winter, but I might much better have saved my nioney and come to thie round-up instead.

He was taking part in private theatricals. The role he played was that of a model young man, In the audience his little son watched the parental acting with critical admiration, ‘he villain of the play pressed a drink on the “model young man." “Thank you," replied Bangs theatri- cally, “but I never drink.’ “Oh, what a whopper!’ came ia a shrill, boyish treble from the hushed audience. “I've seen you drink lots and lots of times, papa." . ee Miss Bessie Johnson, ‘Tom L., whose father, is Mayor of Cleveland, is to Marry John L, Dudley, jr, a New Yorker. The announcement of the en- gagement was made on the day Mark Hanna's daughter married Joseph Mec- Cormick. Miss Bessie 1s a dashing girl, as full of enerzy and novel ideas as is ber father. She had a feud with Miss Hanna dating from sohool days and contended with her for leadership of the younger sot in Cleveland society. Mutual friends tried frequently to draw the rival girls together and plumed themselves when both becamo interested in a chartty function, but all the tact of the friends useless, for on the evening of the affair the rivals only spoke to each othe: thelr adherents into far corners, each party refusing to Join the other, Miss Hanna's quieter es Umited her fol- lowing to those who are moved by the springs of social ambition.

E WOMAN WHO HAS NEVER BEEN LOVED, By Helen Oldfield. HAT “Every Jack has his Jill’ ts an ancient and oft quoted proverb, which, like most old sayings, has @ sound substratum of truth. Since no man need hesl- tate to proclaim his love to all the world, if he so chooses, and since any man within reason {s at liberety to ask any. woman to be his wife, it follows that every man may marry it he likes. True, the frst woman, nor the second, may not say him yea, still he can continue asking one woman after another until he finds some one who js willing, and thus it follows that every Jack may keep on seeking until he finds his own particular Jill. Nevertheless experience, and figures, which we are told cannot Ile, prove that, counting all men and Women, there 1s a wife for every man ff he have perseverance and inclinae tion to seek her, says Helen Onifield In the Chicago Tribune, In the first place, statistics show that, taking all the ‘world whose census has been made, there are not as many men as women by a few millions or so. The excess of women in the United States 1s comparatively small, and with the. usual perversity accredited to the sex, the women of this country are less eager to marry than elsewhere, In Greaa: Britain and Ireland there is a superfluous million of women— even more since the Boer war—while other European coune tries show an almost equal disparity between the sexes, There are few women in any class of life who have any deep objection to matrimony; most of them are willing te say “yes” to the right man when he comes a-courting. And the right man not infrequently appears altogether wrong from an outsider's point of view. Few women are willing to confess: “I have never been CONUNDRUMS.

AND THEN THE AXE FELL. “How do you account for the rota- tion of the earth on its axis?" asked the professor. : “Well,” anawered the young man who {9 always at a loss, “I suppose the earth had to rotate on something. Washington Star, “HEINE TALK." ‘Tho manager of a concert given in a small town, Instead of putting “not transferable" on tl tickets, posted a notice on the door: “No gentleman ad- mitted unless he comes himsel: Youth's Companton, KOCIAN OR THE CATS. ‘Willie—Pa, there tan't any difterence botwoon a violin and a fiddle Is there’ Pa—Yes, indeed, my son, ‘The Instru- ment you heard the other evening at the concert was a wolin, but in the hands of that fiend next dow It's a. Gddle,—Phila Pross, in love, no gentieman ever gave me the opportunity.” Still, all the same, it is a fact that there are not a few women— such 1s the blindness of men—who would make the best wives and mothers and yet go through life without ever receiving @ direct offer of marriage. Sometimes men, unwilling to pro- pose unless certain of acceptance, take soundings beforehand, when the woman's pride leads her to conceal her readiness to be won, under a mask of Indifference, and the would-be: sultor {s frightened away. Th@e are women all over the world, devoted daughters, 00d housewives, and beloved aunts, women who would do any man good and not evil all the days of their blameless! Hyves, who have yet never been invited to fulfill their manifest; destiny as wives and mothers. Some of them have been too; conscientious to encourage proposals of marriage from mi in order to have the satisfaction of refusing them; others too much in love to dare show themselves naturally, have} been passed over as heartless and cold by the men whom! they loved too well. Others have been too busy with thelr own and other people's affairs to have time to think of love: and matrimony for themselves. In some cases Jack has probably found his Jill, tut has no definite {dea of marrying her. ‘He may be really attached to the woman whose sultor he !s supposed to be, and hes) society is perhaps the purest pleasure of his life. There 15 a sort of lotus eater laziness in his character which murmurs “Let well enough alone,” and he lives in the satisfaction at! the present. Indeed, he probably thinks that he gives as much pleasure as he receives, He does not care to interpret the wistful glances which sometimes meet his own, and so he continues to enjoy to the full that which costs him nothing. Like the dog in the manger, he keeps others away, and poor Jil grows middle aged and gray waiting for the proposal) which never comes.
