Printers' Ink : The Detroit Journal has joined the pr000ssion of newepapers which are trying to edaoate their patrons in the art of advertising, and thus indirectly advance their own interest. Every day it prints at the head3, of its editorial page a few pithy sentences, of which the following is an example WHY A FAILURE? Tho prime object of all advertising is to &ttract attention to the thing advertised. No matter how valuable the thing itself, or how interesting the annonnmement, if attention is not secured the insertion is a teilare. Not only meet attention be secured, but it mast be the attention of those who deal in the wares advertised. No matter how many people see the announcement, if dealers in or purohaeers of that particular kind of goods do not see the insertion, it le a failure', Edison's pop. This is the story A pretty type -writer girl sat at her machine playing a wind like waltz over the keys, when a quiet, serious man in a suit of overelle stepped up and motioned her to stop.

COMMITTED TO EARTH; °losing Oeremoniee of Mrs, Booth's Interment• 1 GREAT TIME IN LONDON. All da longSalvationists from various parte of GreaBritain and the Continent p � u. came pouring into London. All the early morning trains ware loaded with them, einging, shouting and praying in publio, after the manner of their organization. At 2 o'clock thie afternoon, 20,000 of them were swarming about Olympia, which, next to the immense maohinery hall et the Paris exhibition, ie believed to contain the largest area under a single roof. Though the funeral service did not begin till 6 the doors were thrown open at 4, and by 5.30 15,000 people, meetly women, were seated in the immense auditorium. Every- thing inside was pretty mnoh as during the time of Bernnm's °irons. The mammoth glace roof was decorated with gaudy streamers, and the galleries were 'adorned with huge Japanese fans and umbrellas in gorgeous colors. TILE SCENE AT OLYl1PIA. Catchpenny booths, refreshment bars, inappropriate placards and numerous other things which detracted from the solemnity of the occasion were allowed to remain till within two minutes of 6 o'olook, The plane had the appearance of a country fair. Men and women strolled about hawking tea and coffee, buns, sandwiches and whiskey, which were greedily purchased by the hungry and thirsty people. Hundreds of boys went about the building trying to sell portraits of the dead woman, copies of her writing, innumerable tracts, copies of the War Cry, till the place was a perfect pande- monium. A braes band of 600 pieties played tune atter tune, scarcely pausing for rest, till the din was deafening. But promptly at the minute of 6 all this changed as if by magic. The doors were shut up, the refreshment bars were closed, the hawkers wore suppressed and 15,000 Salvationists fixed their eyes on a weak - looking little man with a baton, who mounted the dais just in front of the colossal brass bend. He lifted hie baton and instantly every voice was hushed. At thie point the wonderful discipline of the Salvation Army began to be apparent. The man who direoted the ceremonies never spoke a work except to five men who were near him. These men hauled up huge painted signs which were worked on pulleys and which told the people hundreds of yards away, quite out of resole of the human voice, when to sing end when to bow in silent prayer, when to rise and when to kneel. Everybody present had a copy of the Bongs and words of the liturgy, and everything moved like olock-work. The conductor had simply to lift his baton and the vast audience was either hushed in silence or singing in wonderful unison. Everybody sang and the vast volume of sound seemed as though it would life the roof off. After several prayers and hymns the faneral procession entered the building, In the front rank of the proces- sion were the officers of the Salvation Army from various parts of Great Britain. These were followed by men and women bearing. Salvation Army fleas of all nations, the Stars and Stripee, the Union Jack, the German and French Trioolore and the Cresoent from the Orient. Almost every nation where the Salvation Army has gained foothold was represented by men and women in costumes charaoterietio of their locality. , These people were pic- turesquely grouped on a raised platform around the band. THE COFFIN BORNE IN. There was a pause of a few moments and then a plain oak coffin came in eight, borne by twelve men dressed in red jerseys. All the Salvation women in the building sobbed and shrieked. Many of them were carried out in a dead faint to the ante- rooms. Mrs. Booth had ineisted that her coffin should be as plain as her Salve• tion Army bonnet. It could have been bought for $7. Immediately following the coffin was Gan. Booth, who walked with tottering steps, his face buried in his hands. Over his shoulders was drooped the Salvation Army flag which hung over 11Srs. Booth's bed when she died. After the coffin had been placed in a position where the thousands "of eyes could look upon it and Gen. Booth and the mem- bore of hie family had taken their planes on the platform, the services proceeded. Hymns were sung and prayers said in per- fect unison, all prearranged by the woman who was lying there in her coffin, and all guided by the men who worked the printed signs on the pulleys. General Booth and bis children clustered around the coffin, and they sang the iden- tical hymn which they sang around Mrs. Booth's death -bed. This song was the signal for thousands of sobbing women to rush for the coffin, and to prostrate them- selves in the sawdust. Thera was no sham about it. It was all hysteria devotion to the little woman who was literally the mother of their army. After the building was cleared the coffin was removed and prepared for the inter- ment tomorrow. This will afford an equally marvellous spectacle. A count by the doorkeepers shows that 24,000 people found Beate in the Olympia last night, while 4,000 more were admitted to find standing room as best they could. This is our times the number that West• minister Abbey will hold, and three times as many as can be placed within hear- ing at St. Panne Cathedral. The long prooeseion which followed the coffin was made up of men and women of the working olase. The throng in the streets was enormous. Time and again the crowd outside the Army's headquarters made a determined rush, but the police gallantly held their own. The police were reinforced, the fog drew denser, and above all resounded the crash of Salvation Army bands. Banners were but dimly discerned. As the head of the column _ emerged through the fog _ and approaohed the headquarters of the Army a tremendous cheer, was raised. Then ensued a fearfnl crash, in which it was long doubt- ful whether the police would be able to keep control over the crowd whioh behaved in the roughest manner possible. The victory was decided in their favor by the arrival of a small body of mounted polies. All efforts to keep clear a space in front of the hearse were, however, futile. In the straggle which followed this attempt of the police to keep.a pathway clear several persons were inured, and the ambulanoe' was celled into requisition. For nearly an hour Salvation Army officers, men and women in the well-known dress, filed past their headquarters, headed by their district bands, playing selections from Salvation hymnology. A hymn was covered and then the coffin, with a red pall, on which rested the deceased woman's bonnet badge, was borne on the shoulders of the ohief of ioars to the hearse, reverently deposited there, amid a cry of " hats off I" from the crowd. This request was at once complied with amid reepeottnl silence. Then a loud cheer greeted the General as, bareheaded, he took his place alone in the ohief mourner's carriage. Gen. Booth looked wan and haggard, but stood up and acknowledged the ealutee of the onlookers. He was followed by the female members of the family, who were all respootfully greeted, but the appearange on a fair-haired individual clad in the flow- ing robes and turban of an Arab sheik bestriding a restive horse was too mnoh for a London orowd, and the pseudo Oriental was made the recipient of con- siderable chaff. At the spent ple of an utterly impossible Salvation Highlander all ambli noe of gravity inns thrown to the winds, and roars of laughter followed hard upon the wake of the hearse. More bandit, more Salvationists, and then a strong body of police brought up the rear of this re- markable funeral pageant. At the cemetery the fog was so dense that only a few people gathered around the grave could see or hear the ceremony. Gen; Booth continued to make a few fare- well remarks without breaking down. The body was lowered into the grave and this altogether remarkable funeral service was over. AN EASY 11IAN TO HANG. He Cheered up the Sheriff and Saved Time on the Gallows. AMorris, Ill., despatoh sap;: James Max. wen was hanged at 10.47 this morning for. the murder of Charles Deaker in June last. He died apparently the most unoonoerned man in the town of Morris. The murder WW1 the result of Maxwell and a negro being discovered about midnight on June 15th by Decker in the lattor's house for the purpose of robbery. Decker was killed by blows from a hatchet. Last night when the sheriff showed some evidences of trope dation at the task before him, Maxwell said : "Brace up, old man. Yon are much more troubled about this than I em." He slept well and ate breakfast w?th apparent relish this morning. His spiritual advisers received a severe shook this morning when they went in to admin. ister the last words of consola- tion to him. An enterprising re- porter had been before them, in the guise of a minister, with the idea of getting an interview. When the newspaper man began to question him as to his spiritual welfare Maxwell threw off the religions mask which he had hitherto worn and drove bis visitor from bine with a string of curses of the most profane sort. When the sheriff began to read the death warrent in a trembling voice Maxwell inter- rupted with : ' Stop that gab, Shroeder, and let us get through this thing as soon as possi- ble." His wish was complied with and he was at once conducted to the gallows. A brie prayer was offered, the prisoner's arms and lege were pinioned and the noose adjusted. The sheriff asked Maxwell it he had any. thing to say. His reply was a complaint that the sheriff had put a window in the shanty in which the execution took place so that the crowd odeside could see him. The sheriff then oat the cord and the body fell. In six minutes Maxwell was pro- nounced dead. Just before leaving his cell Maxwell handed the sheriff a big knife, telling him that he might have killed himself a half- dozen times if he had wanted to. Scottish News Notes.

Vedder, formerly pastor of a prosperous Presbyterian Church at West Milton, Saratoga county, was arraigned in the General Sessions, to be eentenoed for abducting Mary Miliane, aged 15, of 254 West Thirtieth street. Vedder is of mid. dle age. His brown hair and mouetaohe are ourlod, and yesterday nis rou d, rosy faoe was well shaven. Hie eyes are large and dark and his voice is sonorous, He was dressed faehionabl and wore a earl colored satin scarf, with an oddly shaped jewelled pin shining amid its folds. Vedder et the time of the abduction was a dentist at 745 Sixth avenue. He adver- tised for a girl to keep his office clean. He asked Mary MoKene when he employed her how old ehe was, and she said that she was 15, and would be sixteen in March, whereas the fact was, according to the records of St. Patrick's Roman Catholio Cathedral, where she was baptized, she was 14 and would be 15 in March. In July, when Vedder believed that Mary Mo$ane was over 16, and therefore no longer under the protection of the law, he induced her to remain in hie office over night. Vedder began to read a letter to the court explaining a previous charge of a somewhat similar ohmmeter againet him, and telling how he had built ap the ohnroh of which he was pastor. " That is about all that I have the patience to listen to of this hypocritical twaddle," interposed the recorder. " The sworn evidence in this case shows that that child was stainless until she went into your employ, and you should not have the hardi• hood, when you did not even dare to take the stand in your own behalf, to attempt to assail her now. And you confessed that yon had wronged her to her mother, to the police officer who arrested you, and to the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and you offered to make any atonement` in money that you could. You also told Mra. MoKane that you could not marry her daughter because you were already married and had children, but yon did not tell her that while yon were enjoying this large and laorative businese, and keeping young girls in your office to protect you from blackmail, you were allowing your wife, of whom I have heard the very beet reports, to work as an ordin. ary mill hand for wretched wages in the northern part of this State to support her- self and her children. I have only to say to you that you are one of a most con- temptible class of scoundrels. You are the kind of a fraud and hypocrite that I detest moat—the sanctimonious fraud' end hypo- crite. This is your second shameful outrage upon young womanhood, and you deserve no clemency whatever. I sentence you to State prison et hard labor for the term of five years, the extreme penalty under the law." BOOTH'S GREAT SCHEME. He Wants X1,000,000 to Set About Re- generating the World. A London cable eaye : Another topic of disonesion is General Booth's book on " Darkest England and the Way Ont," which appeared to -day. The work con- tains 300 pages, devoted to the prodigious echeme of relief from poverty, ignorance and vice, in which the author contends is submerged a tenth of the population. He proposes to found a city colony for the hungry and homeless of the metropolis, who will be given work in labor yards and factories, chopping wood, making mate, sewing seeks, etc. In this connection will be a household salvage brigade, which will oolleot enough broken victuals, old clothes, newspapers, etc., to support the refugees and the rectories of the city colony. The second feature is the farm colony, recruited from the city colony, where the members will again use the London salvage basis of support. Immense piggeries will be estab• tithed, led by retain matter. The pigswill supply brush and b000nfaotories,bonebutton works, grease and soap works, oto. There will be second-hand clothes and boot establishments, employing an army of tailors and cobblers. Each man will build hie own house or shanty. There will be no public -houses. Finally, the General pro- poses to found a foreign colony, recruited from the other two. A tract of land will be taken in South Africa, and the best workers on the farm colony will be sent there ; but they will be obliged to repay the cost of transportation by their future labor. General Booth wants £1,000,000 to put his scheme in operation, and appeals to the charitable to help him. The Daily News, commenting on the grand echeme for the regeneration of the world proposed by Gen. Booth, confesses that nothing men bo done for the eon's of the millions until something is done for their bodies. This scheme, it says, is one of the most remarkable productions of the age, and deserves to be allowed a fair trial. The Chronicle says : " We are forced to the conclusion that, as far as the lapsed masses are concerned, the Gospel of Christianity has lost in our day its power and &term. When we consider her vast resources Booth's project puts the State Church in a very disagreeable position. Gen. Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, speaking of the proposals set forth in his book for the alleviation of the physical d:stress of the masses before close attention is paid to their moral and spiritual wants, says be requires £1,000,000 to carry out the soheme. The Times, commenting on Gen. Booth's proposition, says : " The world may be excused for feeling shy of hie proposals to regenerate society. More serious than many other objections to the plan is the one that Gen. Booth himself appears to be the tor- toise upon which the great system is to be poised." Wearing Shoes Alternately. It is true economy for every person to have several pairs of shoes, and to wear them alternately. In the first place, by so doing, oorna,and other soreness of the members may bo to a considerable degree avoided. These come from continuous friotion or pressure at a certain point, and, as no two pair of shoes " bear " on the feet quite alike, the ohenge breaks up the continuity and obviates • or prevents the unpleasant result. Itis also better for the shoes themeelvee, says Good Housekeeping. Do not wear them in ordinary weather, if the beet oervioe is desired, more than three or four daye, or a week at most, before giving them a chance to become thoroughly dry. Many, if not most, feet emit sufficient moietare to affect the shoe, giving it the sticky, nnpleaeant feeling which is so familiar, but to which we not often give re second thought. Contrast this feeling with that of a shoe which has been standing unused for a week or a month, and notice u. how grdtofni the feeling of thorough dry- nem r y -nese rntbe last named. Perhaps the reader never thought of that before. The Alderman. Boston ton HertaHertat If yon see anybody more polite and affable than notal nowadays oak t he's running aha for. He ie se oily of yore.

Three men stood together on Monroe avenue yesterday. All were sweating and mopping. It was hot -awful hot. " I've got to have a glue of beer to cool off on," remarked one. " You fellows have some ?" ' You bet," promptly replied one. " Excuse me," said the other, who was a doctor. " Now, then, let mo show you some- thing. You, Tom, let me feel your pulse. Now, you, Henry. Now, then, Tom, get your beer." All three entered a saloon. While Tom was drinking his beer the doctor seated Henry in a chair and gave him a fan. At the end of five minutes Tom joined them, saying : "A•h-b, but that touches the spot 1 I feel cooler." "Do yon?" quern -ft the doctor. " Your pulse hee increased just eight beats to the minute, while Henry's eareasedsix,making a difference of fourteen in his fever. Wait a bit. It wasn't over three minutes before Henry laid down the fan, feeling cool enough, while Tom palled out his handker- chief and said: " For heaven's sake, let na get out of this or I shall roast 1 I'm wet all over." "There's the case I want to make out," said the dootor. "You are far warmer than before, and will be for an hoar to Dome.

With lees than a month to live John Reginald Birohall is spending the greater part of his time in writing an autobiography. He calculates it will take about a hundred printed pages, book form, and estimates the manuscript to be worth 32,000. Several papers are negotiating for the work, but it is not probable that any publisher would be foolish enough to pay 32,000 for it. The proceeds will be left to his widow. The New York Police Gazette, World, Sun, Toronto Mail, and other papers are nego. tinting with the prisoner for the history of his life, but no bargain has been closed as yet. Birchen continues to receive a very heavy mail. About forty copies of " The Lord's Dealings with the convict Daniel Mann," (who was hanged in Kingston penitentiary several years ago) have been sent him with many marked passages A lady in Parkhill has sent him a book entitled " A Life in a Look," with the request that Birohall shall write her after he has read it. Other relig- ious matter is received almost every mail, but the prisoner does not take much interest in this kind of literature. He prefers to read English sporting papers.—Woodstock Standard.

Two of the prinoipale, who gave their name as Sam Ward and Isaac Rosenthal, were arrested and paraphernalia of their trade that nearly filled an express waggon was taken from their rooms in West Fifty-ninth street to pollee headquarters. This included a r000rd of the gang's pest and prospective victims, and a handle of telegrams from, men in the 'United States and Canada who wished to be initiated into the mysteries of the business. This record and the telegrams not only give a clear insight into the operations of the oriminals, butfernish damaging evi- dence against persons in nearly every State of the Union. Tho most eonvinoing proofs of the guilt of the two men were found. Ward, whose real name is sup- posed to be Galerein, and Rosenthal, are declared by Anthony Comstock, who con- ducted the sucoessfal investigation, to be members of the "McNally gang," whioh has been operating in this city for years. Originally the gang consisted of five mem- bers. James W. and Walter McNally were its moving spirits. Their work was unusu- ally saooeesful, and although many at. tempts were made to capture them, they continued to work under the very nose of the police. The MaNallys were lost eight of some time ago, but the green goods basi- nese went along just the same. The man who completed the trio has been shadowed, but so for he has managed to elude deter!. tion. Mr. Comstock thinks he will be oap- tared soon. The record book of the McNally gang, which Mr. Comstock now possesses, makes some wonderful disclosures. The tele- grams found " are mostly from persons in Quebec). Here are three sample Canadian despatches: I, Lente WEEDON, Que., Oct. —; No money to start; only good security on good farm note. JEAN BTS. BELLmIFE. Ir. EGANIYILLE, Ont., Oct. ri.

STrRIs, Oshwekin, Ont. The circulars found indicated that the gang did not limit their business to America. The reoords contain an amusing item, whioh would indioate that a Ger- man " crossed the water" to bo taken in by Ward & Co. Ward and Rosenthal will be tried under Section 527 of the Penal Code, which thor- oughly covers " green goods" oases. If found guilty they may be imprisoned for not less than one year nor more than five years, and fined not less than $100 nor more than $2,000. How the Jovial Knowledge Came. Youngly—Haw did you come to know' that you were in love with me, dearie ? Debutante (blushingly)—I felt that 1 was an awful fool. MaltingHi Understand. She—Will you please close the door, Mr. Stayer ? He—Why, it is closed. Slee—Yea, but I meant from the other side. " Is your brother still pursuing the law?" " He was till last spring." " And now ? " " The law is after him." An instance of just retribution is found in the ease of the man who invented the pigs-in-olover puzzle. He has been sent to an insane asylum in St. Louis. Robert Buchanan's new play le called "The Sixth Commandment,'' and while the plot is Russian it ie said to introduce neither sleighs, reindeer, nihilism nor far coats. Last May, it will be remembered, Charles Selden, a wealthy colored man, presented himself at; Robinson's Floating Palace, Evansville, I11,, and asked the price of a first-class seat. " One hundred dol- lars," was the reply. He paid the price, but at the end of the first ant returned to the box.office and demanded his money, bat was refused. He then sued the man- agers for damages, under the Civil Rights Bill, and a few days ago the case was de- cided against him.
