General Parsons Says Blaine’s Mans. gers Paid Bailer $5,000 a Week. Nxw York, November 1.—The national Democratic committee to day received another dispatch Irom General W. H. Parsons, chairman of the executive oommitto ot tbo i'eople’s party of Maryland, in which the charge that the Repub lican national committee and Gen eral Butler made a "deal” is repeat ed. General Parsons now chal lenges J antes G.

When Judd was a young man be sorsped together enough money to got out the first issue ot an agricultural paper in New York. Stepping in to tho Herald office, be wrote an "ad.” and appended something that looked like "51,"meaningthat the -‘ad.” was to occupy fifty-one lines. The compositor, however, thought that it meant fifty-one times, and the next, morning the Herald contained Judd's “ad” iu fifty-one places, it appeared in hold type on every psgo and in nearly every column. When Judd saw the mistake bo was thunder struck, and thought that ho was, ruined. Tho bill paralyzed him. It amounted to more than all bis property was worth. But tho 111k era! advertising produced big results. Everylmdy talked about it. Subscriptions rushed In and Judd's papur leaped into profitable popularity. The tide of suocess continued until the’lucky advertis er accumulated a fortune of $500,- 000. Business men will find a pow erful moral meandering through, this tittle anecdote.
