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. Harris Bower, who is em
ploped by the Equitable Life Assurance Co., in
the Frick Building. We wcro unable to find
him in, but learned that he was having a pleas
ant and prosperous time.

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.

this recommendation was adopted by the Federa
tion. It was our good pleasure to have for a room

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. It is by Mrs. Schuy
ler Crowflinshield, wife of Admiral Crownin-
shield, who now commands our great European
fleet of iron-clads. The etory is called "The
Isew Heloise, in memory of Rousseau's "Nou
velle Heloise," and it portrays situations in
French monastery life which Rousseau might
have found to his taste. It is an idyl f provin
cial France, full of love and passion, and ending
as n love-story should, with the happiness of the
. i.j 1 .
v leu lovers.
