paper and an advertisement lies in tfye
scope. Both are primarily intended for
the promulgation of news; but while the
former is of a general character and covers
the world, the latter is exclusively parti-
cular, and its only field is the store. And
just as it is the newsiest newspaper that
achieves the largest circulation, so is it
the newsiest advertisement that secures
the most extensive circle of constant
readers. We must, therefore, conclude
that in order to produce the most satis-
factory results an ad must contain the very
latest news from the store; and it should
be remembered in this connection that
after printed news matter has attained the
advanced age of twenty-four hours it is no
longer news, but " ancient history." The
moral is obvious.

So young Leiter has collapsed. He
tried to corner the wheat market of the
world, but found that of America too
much for him. It doesn't pay to monkey
with the buzz-saw, particularly when it is
operated by such men as Phil Armour.

The only place in the world where violin
making may be said to constitute the in-
dustry is Markneukirchen, in Saxony,
with its numerous surrounding villages.
There are altogether about 15,000 people
in this district engaged exclusively in the
the manufacture of violins.

Worcester Notes.
(Special to The Review).
Worcester; Mass., June 20, 1898.
They are to have a semi-centennial cele-
bration in Worcester, and the business
concerns of the town are going to join in a
big parade. Among the music houses
which have taken a warm interest in the
rnatter is ; the old established house of S.
R. Leland & Son and S. O. Shaw.
H. F. Arms, a well-known broker is ad-
vertising a large per cent, dividend pay-
able to the holders of the preferred stock
of the Guild Piano Mfg. Co. He an-
nounces that the Board of Trade warmly
favors the establishing of the piano plant
in Worcester, and that its stockholders
embrace some of the most prominent
business men, also that the controlling in-
terest will lie in Worcester.
The Importance of Accounting.
A proper system of books, coupled with
intelligence and integrity of management,
will to a large extent guide any enterprise
past shoals and hidden dangers. To my
mind every business enterprise of magni-
tude and prominence should employ a
skilled accountant, whose sole province
should be to establish and maintain a sys-
tem of book-keeping that cannot be manip-
ulated, and that will at all times give to
the managers a true and correct showing
of the condition of the business.
P. Bent's Daughter to be
Married.
Miss Clara Wingate Bent, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Bent, will be
married to Ernest S. Meikle, of Mr. Bent's
establishment, this evening. The young
lady has all the charms of refined and gen-
tle womanhood, and is the favorite of a
wide circle of friends. Mr. Meikle has
held a responsible position with Mr. Bent
for a number of years past, is a bright and
progressive business man, and in every
way worthy of so lovely a wife. After a
short honeymoon tour they will make
their home on the West Side.—The Indi-
cator.

The Poet and the Emerson.
The Emerson Co. have just issued a
patriotic booklet. On the first page is a
realistic representation of " Old Glory " in
colors. Following is an excellent portrait
of the late John Boyle O'Reilly, one of our
most famous poets. Beneath the flag is
the following verse from one of Mr.
O'Reilly's stirring and popular songs:—•

John Boyle O'Reilly was a great ad-

Gentlemen:
The piano which you recently sold me
is a splendid instrument. I cannot refrain
from thanking you for the evident care
you have taken to give perfect satisfac-
tion. . The volume and quality of sound
from the piano is a constant wonder and
delight.
I shall be happy to say to any one in-
quiring, that I think the Emerson Piano
one of the best in the American market.
9 I am yours very truly,
.-*

" Thank God for a land where pride is clipped.
Where arrogance stalks apart;
Where law and song and loathing of wrong
Are the words of the common heart;
Where the masses honor straightforward strength,
And know, when veins are bled,
That the bluest blood is putrid blood, '
,
That the people's blood is red ! "
I assign to accountancy still another
mission. I believe the day will come
when every city, county, town and school
district in this State, and, in fact, through-
out the whole United States, will be com-
pelled by law to have its books examined
annually by competent public accountants,
and to have its statements bearing the
verification of such an expert published as
a matter of public record. It seems to me
that large sums could be saved annually
by such a system of accounting.—From an
address by James G. Cannon, President of
the National Association of Credit Men,
before the New York State Society of Cer-
tified Public Accountants.
