Our Trip to MilwatiVoe. Oa Christmas day we left Snyder county for . a trip to Chicago and Milwaukee. Owing to a wreck East of Kreamer, the train was 3 or 4 hours late. Through the kindness of A. C. Smith, agent at Kreamer, the Pullman section of St. Louis and Chicago express was stopped at Lewistown Junction. At Lewistown Junction, we met Wm. Schnurc of Selinsgrove, who was- on his way to Pittsburg. The train was an Ivour and forty minutes late, leaving the junction about 10:30 P. M. We discovered that the passengers had nearly all retired and the Pull man Conductor was celebrating Christmas iu th usual bar room style. It is certainly a ver dangerous practice to allow a Pullman Conduc tor or any one eVse in charge of a railroad train, who is not absolutely sober. We arose next morning near Crestline, O., and discovered that our train was 2 hours late, but as a fortunate recomiense to a tedious dayV ride, we found among the occupants of the cai Major John X. Wood of the U. S. Marines, a Colonel of the Commission department of the U. S. Army and a young lady, a well known nia gazine writer, all ou their way to San Francisci and thence to Manilla. Among the other pas sengers was a congressman from Minnesota and Col. Larneson, of San Francisco, the owner of a number of -Vessels running from San Francisco - - - m We arrived at Chicago G P. M. Friday, 3 hours lute. Snow and sleet fall all day during onr trip across Ohio, Indiana snd Illinois, bu the cool and piercing breezes from Lake Michi gan made our brief stay in Chicago a very chill v experience, though the residents of that city did not seem to feel any discomfort therefrom. Saturday morning, having made a few buj ness calls, at 11:30 we lwarded the C. M. fc St. Paul train for Milwaukee, the objective point of our trip. Milwaukee is a lieautilul city oi 2S3,- 000 people, situated on the western si eration of Commercial Teachers occurred in Mil waukee. We accepted this opportunity to speak to these men on the great importance of Business Colleges introducing the branch of advertising instruction into their schools. . "Theory and Practice of Advertising," a work written by the Editor of this paper, is the first aud only text book on advertising in the world and as there are hundreds of millions of dollars pent for advertising every year, it is highly im portant that these million? should be judiciously spent. We feel indebted to the Milwaukee papers for courtesies extended and in this con nection, desire to republish nn interview publish ed by the Sentinel Sunday morning. The Sentinel says : "Among those who came in yesterday . after noon to attend the convention was Ueorgtt , Waeenseller of Middleburgh, Pa., whose text book, "Theory and Practice of Advertising," is used in a number of commercial colleges in the East and West, lie is the proprietor of the Middlebure Post, and is here to advocate in struclion in advertising in commercial colleges. "Men and women who understand the art of successful advertising," said lie, "are in great demand, and they can command a jmsilion witti bigger pay than in any other line of professional work. Business men are uow willing to pay thousands of dollars a page for a single issue of a magazine, and it is natural that where space is so expensive it should be considered highly important that the contents ot the space be loot ed after most carefully. There are 26,000 pub lications in the United State? that carry adver tisements, with a total circulation of $4,000, 000,000 per annum. There are advertising ' a . a a a. a booklets, catalogues, loldera, mailing cards, torm letters, and hosts of other mediums of publicity that manufacturers and dealers are constantly desiring. The many bungling jobs of advertis ing matter sent out to represent or rather mis represent the best houses form conclusive evi dence of the need of better and more thoroughly qualified advertising men." Effects of tiie Coal Strike. Mr. Wagensellcr, who resides on the edge of the Pennsylvania coal district, commented on the singularity of distribution of the coal. "1 my own town we have nearly all the coal w want," said he, "but ten miles away, along ano ther division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, there has not been a ton of coal 6ince the strike. The mine owners are working the men as hard as they can to supply the demand for coal, but there are some drawbacks, one of which is the quantity of water in the mines. Usually the men tike a vacation of ten days during the Christmas holidays, but this year they took only C ill IBULMV lu) . . " Among the Business College men we found some of the most aggressive men of the country, nearly all of whom owe their success to judi cious advertising. It is a pleasure to talk to such men and we had no difficulty in showing the necessity for teaching tue art of successful advertising. There is one thing, however, that militates against the rapid introduction of adver tising in .Business Schools, and that is the belief existing among students that they should-acquire a profitable Rusiuess education in from 3 to G lege World and what is doubly sure, a "Coone" companion. - . The address of welcome' was delivered by Robert C. Spencer, oldest son of Piatt R. Spen cer, the founder of the well-kuown system of penmauship. . . " Monday night we had the pleasure of seeing "The Suburban" in Tmdson's Theatre, oue of the best productions we ever beheld. Six horses race across the stage while 200 persons cheer their favorite steeds to victory or defeat. . Wednesday on our return, we stopped in Pittsburg to see II.

We wcro unable to find him in, but learned that he was having a pleas ant and prosperous time. tore ol Lake Michigan, 85 miles north of Chicago. It mouths.

The purpose of our visit to Milwaukee at this lime was to meet the great Commercial School Managers and Teachers of the County, as at tl. time the Annual Meeting of the Xational Fed us this recommendation was adopted by the Federa tion. It was our good pleasure to have for a room mate, Prof. W. T. Boone, proprietor of the Commercial College, South Bend, Ind. He is oue of the leading spirit? in the Commercial Col- The Standard Oil Co. in India. Information from private sources in India stales that there exists a strong disinclination on the part of the British adminiiitratiou in that country to permit Americans to take part in the development of its resourses. A short time ago the local government ot British Burma refused a concession to the Standard Oil Company for the working of the oil deposits 'n Burma, and was upheld by the British Indian Administra tion in its denial of the concession. An effort said to have been made by the official represent tive of the American company to iuterview the Governor General on the subject came to noth ing, Lord Curzon refusing to see him. The Anglo-Indian press in genera' approves of the Governor General's action and of the exclusion of Americans from participating in the develop ment of India's natural wealth. The Standard Oil Company appears to have been so sure of its right to go into business in Burma under the existing commercial treaties between England and this country that it bought land in Rangoon and made the nc"?ssary pre parations for erecting a refinery. This is shown by corresj)ondenee that passed between the agent of the Standard Oil Company and the Bengal Chamlier of Commerce. When application was mane according to requirement for license to be gin operations, the Burma Government replied that the matter was one requiring the assent of the Government of India. Ihe decision of that Government, having been adverse, the whole question was submitted to the British Govern ment . through the American Embassy in Lon don. - 1. The only reason given for th; action of the Indian Government was that it lis "undesirable Jbr an, American comtwny or ft . w.ihs'ditrwn-j pany to gain a footing in Incba." Anglo-Indian opinion is said lo indorse the attitude both of the Indian Government and the Viceroy, and one of its principle organs, commenting on the matter, says that very important principles are at stake. "Americans," it says, "may conscien tiously believe that their commercial treaties with England give them a right to exploit any British dependency, but it is imjiossible for- us in India to overlook the fact that this country has now arrived at a. stage when it can formu late its own opinions as to the privileges foreign ers shall or shall not possess." There the matter stands for the present. - LITERARY NOTES. . Lippincott's. . - The complete novel of the January "Lippin cott," is a complete treat.
