SCHEMES OF ADVERTISING
GOTHAMITES NOT EASILY LURED
INTO THE BUSINESS NET,
Sandwich Mon and Strange Masque
raders Who Pass Almost Unnoticed—
The Secret of a Tailor’s Success—How
Bryan McSwyny Had Greatness
Thrust Upon Him.
New Vtfc, July o.—To a very large pro
portion oniew Yorkers notoriety means
prosperity. There are more ways than one
of advertising, and the way that is most
sinuous and deceptive and coy is the one
most in demand. Let any man start out
with a now scheme lor attracting public at
tention to his ware* and his future is assur
ed. A tailor’s clerk who was making the
magnificent income of $8 a week conceived
an idea four years ago of advertising clothes
by printing woodcuts every day in conjunc
tion with characteristically and peculiarly
written prose and poetry. Within two years
after he began he was taken with the firm
as a junior partner, with a percentage
granted to amount to at least $5,000 a year.
His income is, perhaps, three times that
sum now, and the firm has become the most
prominent one in New York city solely
through the efforts of the clever advertiser.
It is almost useless now to resort to the old
time method* of attracting attention. The
sidewalks are littered with handbills that
nobody reads, and they hang in mournful
numbers on posts and in doorways un
touched and unheeded. Sandwich men walk
up and down without attracting the atten
tion of even a casual rustic, and painted In
dians with signs down their backs walk
up and down without attracting the
gaze of any but the car drivers. For
A HUMAN CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE.
a time a gang of rough-looking tramps, who
were dressed in striped suits that were
synonymous with Sing Sing Prison, walked
the streets chained together and groaning
dismally in unison with their lagging steps.
New York smiled at them for a day or two
and then became too indifferent to read the
signs of a patent nostrum that were printed
on the back of the convict coats. A squat
and joyous negro dressed in the most fantas
tic toggery that a costumer could devise war
bled and posed tirelessly in front of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel for a few days to an
audience composed of one or two lagging
messenger boys and an occasional street
arab. Five hundred thousand people passed
him without a glance, and in time he too
disappeared from the busiest street in New
York. Big advertising wagons, with their
extensive sides covered with Haring legends,
were dragged wearily about, the streets, in
citing no more comment than a Fifth
avenue stage. One day, I remember, a
knight in steel armor, with a horse capari
soned in the same metal, rode out from ob
scurity into Broadway and took his way
northward. The armor was admirably de
signed, and one might well have imagined
that one who is reminiscent of all that is
antique and remote in modern cities would
cause a temporary stir. He rode solemnly
along in the middle of the street with his
visor down and his spear held at rest. Oc
casionally the busy workers along the great
thoroughfare would glance at him, once in
a while an idle shopkeeper who was leaning
out of a window or posing in a doorway
would call the attention of a companion to
the mediaeval-looking intruder. But I doubt
whether one out of ten men read the adver
tisement of a patent soap that was lettered
oil his shield. For two or three days he
rode solemnly around the, streets, and then
he was seen no more. The brilliant genius
who secured t wo giants of u dime museum at
a salary of *IOO a week, dressed them in
grenadier uniforms crowned with bearskin
hats and set them to walking ponderously on
Broadway with a tiny patent clcctnc comb
on either hand re.qied a small reward, for
wl:o cares to look into the merits of a comb
when he can stare at a live giant? The
giants were a success, but they did not ad
vertise the comb. A woman who bore the
somew hat remarkable name of Tom-ri-Jolm,
dressed in man's attire and sold copies of a
queer newspaper which is edited by her
husband in an nttie room on West Broad
way. After she had been abroad for n week,
however, even the gamins failed to see any
thing interesting in a woman in
mans clothing, and although they occa
sionally shed a stone or a bit of mud at her,
she went about as lonely and unobserved as
though she had been dressed correctly in the
prevailing mode of her sex. A human

u w ho that bus hoard of him docs uot
know that he sells shoes! Originally he was
the creature of the festive and larking im
agination of Amos .1. Cummings, the dis
tinguished journalist, who saw iu tiie
solemn and gruesome humor of McSwyny
a fitting subject of amusement. More for it
liuk than anything else he inserted the name
of Bryan G. McSwyny in the newspajier
for which ho wrote, and which lie mainly
controlled, in a thousand odd and curious
ways. At a distinguished reception iu one of
the most exclusive houses in town the name
of Bryan G. McSwyny would appear be
tween the names of the most nrustocratio
mid exclusive Knickerbocker families. The
next day,the same Celtic appellation would
crop up in a stock report and a dispatch
from yv a-shingtou. The occasional delicious
interviews with Bryan G. McSwyny follow
ed, and before long everybody in tow n knew
the name. The shoemaker is a shrewd and
clever Irishman, despite his numerous
characteristics, and before long he took ad
vantage of the free advertising that Con
gressman Cummings had given him. Then
he began to paddle Ills own canoe and Mr.
Cummings advertised him no more. Now
nothing that is Irish in New York is a suc
cess without Bryan G. McSwyny, and as he
is famous his shoe shop has grown prosperous
too. The theory is apparently that after a
man has heard the name of McSwyny
long enough, ho immediately go s ait .

A SOAP MAN’S GREAT SCHEME.
There is a brewer in tow-n whose income is
$25,000 or $.’50,000 a year, and who spends
every cent of it upon himself. Wherever
ho goes it is in the most magnificent style.
He drives the most pretentious drag in the
park, has the most prominent box in the
opera, is on hand at a conspicuous place at
every first night, dines at the biggest win
dow of Delmonico’s, heads every subscrip
tion list that is sure to get into the papers,
wears the moss st riking attire, is always in
public places, and the result is whenever he
is seen thousands of people look at him. and
turn to their companions and say:
“There goes Miggleton. the brewer.”
Signs are all over town announcing the
excellence of Miggleton’s beer, am lso the
little scheme is carried on. To bo sure,
Miggleton is a prodigious bore to the world
at large, but he sells his beer and I sup
pose that is enough to compensate him for
it all.
Mr. Horace Waters, who makes pianos, I
believe, is going to take the Gladstone testi
monial to England. Whenever anything of
prominence is on the carpet the name of
Horace Waters turns up. He is a genial,
amiable and pleasant man, with hosts of
friends and lots of pocket money. His name
is in the papers constantly. When he goes
to England with the Gladstone memorial, it
will probably be cabled hack and forth with
*h frequency that must inevitably be felt in
the piano trade. This personal method of
advertising is expensive, and it needs a man
of pronounced peculiarities and personality
to manage it correctly. But once started, it
is probably the most effective mode that cap
be devised, for alluring the careless and in
different public into the meshes of a business
net. Blakely Hall.
BIRDS, DOGS AND ALLIGATORS.
The Pets Which Amuse the Rich and
the Idle.
New York, July 9.—Dick the canary is
dead. He was carried off by an influenza
during the long, cold spring. Gretchen the
housemaid opened a window one foggy
morning without moving his cage, and
there is mourning in tho land for Dick.
There is a faint tinge of regret for Fido tho
pug, who is so delightfully ugly, with his
black ltoso and short fuce, but who is out of
style—or going out, which is worse—and so
must leave his soft cushions and take off his
embroidered blanket, poor thing. The sea
son is just at hand when dealers in birds
and animals uro looking about them for
novelties, when the fashions in jiets are be
ing sot for another year, when caprices in
feathered aud four-footed life are offered
every day to tempt my Italy’s whim, when
the town house is closed, the winter’s men
agerie scattered to tho four winds of heaven
and the new assortment of favorites taken
to the country for a summer's domestication
and breaking in
Are there fashions in pets? Dear mo, yes.
The real dog lover or bird lover is rare and
twice in three times owns neither (log nor
bird. A few years ago every woman of
fashion wore a spitz dog; now you might
go into every house on Murray Ilill aud a
good many other hills besides and not And
one. Some spitz dog so far forgot himself
as to snap at his mistress’whlto finger may
hap. and so the rumor got abroad that the
spitz family is surly arid ugly—it is false;
there are no more faithful and affectionate
pels iu tiie brute creation—and a deal of
uewspa]icr talk ensued; but tho banishment
of the spitz was most due to lus getting out
of style. He had been king but his subjects
hail wearied of his reign. And that more
recent favorite, the pug—he who has lorded
it over the poodle so long—is he not to give
place to his hated rival again this fall? And
except at a dog show who ever sees a genu
ine King Charles spaniel of whoso silky hair
our grandmothers made so much. And the
big dog*, the mastiff's and setters, that
every young lady led about with her last
summer, where ' have they betaken them
selves*
Assuredly fashion proscribes pets as well
ns gowns. YVlien the grand dame murmurs
iu her doggie’s eur thut ho is her darling, it
is always with the saving clause unex
pressed, “Bo long, dear, as you are the style;
when that changes, pet, you must go.” l’ho
dog’s specialphysician and nurse, his daily
airing on tho promenade, his receptions te
other elite doglets—these are all mockery
and emptiness, and deceive not tho elect if
their object is to make tho beholder believe
that there is ouco in a dozen times any uf
fcotlon wash'd on the pampered beast,io.
People can like dogs. 1 uru Inclined to be
live that Lotto, the actress, likes the enor
mous mastiff she i* frolicking with this sum
mer, as she has played with it a great many
summers while off duty. Olive Logan is
fond of the French terrier she lias hod for
almost twenty years; but folk of fashion
take to one ilog this year and another next,
as they fondled the breeds that Hlr Walter
Scott preferred until Byron eclipsed the
older poet, affected tho Newfoundland and
led tho whole English-speaking world alter
him. . ,
Tho most popular of familiars of tho ani
mal kingdon, a good deal affected by New
York women just now, are the marmosets,
not quite so big ns n new born kitten. They
cost from $lO a pair upwards, and last win
ter you might have seen a woman or two
sleighing in the park with marmoset* in
stead of u muff in her lap to warm her
hands. There are monkeys which are somo
tlines taken into houses for |*?te, but which
are usually bundled out again about as soon
—women almost never like monkeys—and,
esiss’inlly since the rush to Southern resorts
liegan, alligatoi-s, which have a wav jieou

career ns pots, they are in no haste usually
to grow big enough to swallow the baby
or commit much havoc in a well-regulated
home.
“Why," said an old man who keeps a curi
osity shop the other day, “I have sold over
fifty alligators this spring, some for women
to carry in their pockets, and as I proin
istsl to come around and feed some of them,
it keeps me pretty busy. I reckon some
folk'll want to be keepiu’ whales next.”
There is less change, probably, in the
fashion in birds than in animals. The can
ary holds his own as he has for yeai'S. Ho
is small, he is neat and dainty, lie is cheap,
he is reasonably pretty, and ho is an un
matched songster. But the big wholesale
bird stores, like Reiche’s, on Park row,
where the fashions are set a year ahead and
where fortunes in pets change bauds yearly,
could tell you of scores of singers, of some
of which you never heard, perhaps, for
which there is constant demand with now
and then a well defined craze. Parrots
which talk may cost and parrots that
don't can be bought for a song—no pun in
tended, for parrots don’t sing. Paroquets
and macaws with their brilliant plumage are
chosen not infrequently to match the furnish
ings of a richly colored room, while even
such coarse birds as the black bird, and such
quiot unmusical ones as wood pigeons, find
some favor as pets.
Among the most pathetic of pets are the
“mules" or hybrids. The commonest are
the hybrids of the canary and goldfinch and
of the linnet and chaffinch. These betray
some of the characteristics of both parents.
The half goldfinch, for example has some of
the canary yellow about it, and some of the
finch’s bulkier build. It is a fine singer as
is tlie chaffinch hybrid. A moderately popu
lar bird is the grosbeak, an orderly fellow of
sober plumage and docile behavior. The
African waxoillis a tiny, sad-colored pet no
larger than a humming bird. He never
sings but has a prettily pathetic air about,
him that captures a feminine heart now and
then. The mocking bird is less liked than
he would be if he had not such an aversion
to living. He dosen’t like the climate and
rarely lasts over his first winter. The or
chard oriole, the cardinal bird and the bobo
link are growing in favor as pets. Imagine
bottling up the mad music or the Robert of
Lincoln at so many dollars a parcel. It is
sheer profanation, as bad as shooting him as
the Baltimoreans do.
Stuffed birds are a recent fancy. Since
society men have taken to gunning it is the
thing for the women of the house to perch
the spoils of the day about in all manners
of odd positions. Stuffed owls
have long been in vogue for
the library, indicating an appreciation of
wisdom in others, if you haven’t much
yourself; though why the owl should lie the
type of wisdom it would be hard to sav, for
they are proverbially stupid, but like some
human beings possess the faculty of keeping
still and not letting people find out now
foolish they are.
In the window of a birdstoro on Broad
way half a bushel of mud turtles are crawl
ing about. I’eople have taken to buying
them to put out in gardens, and they do well
enough where there is grass or a suspicion of
mud. An unusual pet is a big bull frog.
One that I saw the other day was reported
to be pining for its mate which an
artist hail borrowed, hoping to induce it to
sit for its picture, and the third of the family
group had been taken by a gentleman to
Germany to demonstrate how much fatter,
bigger, more musical and more nearly cap
able of swelling into an ox, the American
frogs are than the frogs of the effete despot
isms of Europe.
A pair of Texas horned frogs would be
just the pets ti >r a philosopher with little to
do. They are queer spiky-looking creatures
with every appearance of being dead, be
cause they do not condescend to change
their position more than once in two or
three days. There is a New York jeweler
who has put a gold band, with padlock and
chain, about one of the creatures, by which
he is now suspended to thewatch gwird of a
young woman, who is climbing the Cat
skills alpenstock in hand, and I thing they
have been fastened in the hat band. Some
people take to salamanders, which are stupid
but harmless pets, and there is a distinct
fancy for fishes just now. Home aquaria
are seen everywhere, some fitted into conser
vatories ingeniously, but about the only
curiosity ever found in them is mi odd Jap
anese goldfish with a fan-shaped tail. The
kio, as fanciers call it, brings $5OO some
times, though I have seen as strange mal
formations in goldfish out of the Hudson
river.
Insects for pets are mox - e raro than sensa
tionalists would have one believe. I have
seen just one myself, an ugly beetle that a
lady had worn attached by a chain on her
corsage. Some accident happened to his
harness and ho was laid up at a jeweler's
for repairs. I gave him sugar and he ate it
greedily.
It is a usual fiction that women are the
chief buyers of pets. Men buy as many
birds as women. They buy more dogs and
more expensive ones. The poodle lias his
place in the world, perhaps, as well as the
Irish setter or the dachshund. The taste for
queer uncanny pets attributed to women is
simply an exaggeration. Sarah Bernhardt
may get hereon scratched uy a young tiger,
but most women prefer a safer and more
seemly pet. Kuz.v Putn am Heaton.
AMUSING AND INSTRUCTIVE.
How a Teacher of French Gets Amuse
ment and $lO an Hour.
New York, Jnly 9. —I understand that
anew and very original device, combining
amusement with instruction, has recently
been introduced at Newport among the
early arrivals at the cottages. A certain
number of young ladles, mostly debutantes,
meet at tho house of one of the number
once a week. The hostess produces a story
or sketch of some kind evpqpiully prepared
by her lor the occasion. The girls sent
themselves around a table wheroou are
pens, paper, ink und several French diction
aries. A gentleman with a bald head and a
waxed moustache is generally announced
at tho beginning of the seance. This is Prof,
de M. the fashionable French teacher. He
bows to each of the ladies in turn and then
sits quietly down in a corner to read his
Figaro. Meanwhile, the hostess begins to
read her manuscript uloud very slowly, mid
pausing for a second or two at the end of
each sentence. The others seize the pens
and paper and write down n French transla
tion of the article. If any girl is obliges! to
pause, stop and reflect, or worse still, if she
be forced to hunt up a word in the diction
ary, she of course loses time and lier trans
lation suffers accordingly. When they
have all flui.sliod the paisa’s are submitted
to the Professor, who proceeds to pronounce
judgment upon their merits and demerits.
A luncheon is afterword served, und the
young lady at whose residence the club
meets provides the prizes, one for the liest
and one for the worst translation, the latter
reward being known as “the imbecile,” and
consisting usually of some ridiculous object.
The person most to be congratulated in tho
course of this unique entertainment is
certainly the Professor, vs ho receive* $)0 for
each seance, derives from it some amuse
ment if he happen to have u sen to of humor,
and lias little or no work to perforin.
