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 mistaken fok aldermen. champagne bot tle slid out of a side door one ho! unlay uf term ion mid walked abroad, but Lie people pushed him nsido without notlo mg the brand of champagne, though it was an ingenious advertisement, for nothing could be seen but a huge bottle mounted on a pair of foot that moved sluggishly along. I he man was entirely inside of tlio adver tisement, mid there was not even a place mr hi* luce to lie seen, though little peep rj , served to show him the way. A shirt- P* au occur* to me.

Mclswyuy, 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 . and buys a pair of shoes of him. I myself—once. .JHR 1 ) 1 mmfi • 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 liarly their own of making themselves at home ill New York drawing rooms. These latter sustain life on a diet of raw beef. They require ouly a slanting log to bask on IHE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 10, IRR7. nnrt a tray of water under the piano to bo reasonable happy, and, fortunately for their 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.

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.
