JOSEPH PULITZER.
The remarkable success of The New York
World under tho management of Mr.
Pulitzer is unprecedented in journalism, and
is largely due to tho introduction of pictures
to break up tho dull monotony of types.
Pulitzer long ago discovered that an
illustration, no matter how crude, helped
out dry biography, and lent attractiveness
to tho paper. Besides, in these go-ahead
times men hnvo not time to waste hi much
reading, and a small illustration will often
tell at a glance more than columns of type.
With these facts in view, Mr. Pulitzer has
no year raised Tho World from one of
the poorest to one of the host nowspaiier
propartlcs in New York. When Mr. Puliiz?r
arrived in this country about twenty years
ago ho could not speak a word of English
and was not overprovided with inoona At
present ho is also owner of The St. Louts
i'ost-Dispatch and a candidate for congress
from New York City. How this has all
been accomplished hia nppearano shows,
for he is the personification of indomitablo
icrgy and pluck.

Bargain Store men. Hero goods
arrive and disappear rapidly.
On the tirst of September last
this new store was opened with ons
of the largest stocks of Dry Goods,
Clothing, Cloaks, Hats, Shoes and
Millinery ever brought to Ameri*
cns.
Every day since than, new and
fresh goods bought by their New
York buyer arrived, 'and now he
finds himself compelled to go to
New \ ork to make bis second com •
pletc purclmso in all lines. Never
WIW A I.OIITUHB. KLkykstiioHAMn has anything happened to equal it
in the history of the Americus dry
goods trade.
The only and best reason that
can be assigned to this extraord;.
nary success, may' be summed up
in the pluck and enterprise used
by tho proprietor, and the fact that
the purchaser is not slow to find
out that iiebk is tho place to trade.
While other merchants have held
their goods nt regular prices and
profits, ho saw fit to reduce his
entire stock to such prices and
profits that would meet the approv.
ai of everybody' and everybody 5 *
pocket, and succeeded with flatter
ing success. But we are not near
xvor.sv) ml- at the end yet. Money is gotting
scarcer daily. Still harder times
are coming, and what will bo the
final result is better imagined than
told.
The Ilarga n Store man’s pro
gramme will be a regular march.
He proposes to march down with
the prices ol all his goods yet in
stock, in order to nmrch to Now
1 ork with tlie proceeds to buy
goods lower than they were bought
before.
In order to raise as rnuoh money
as possible, the Bargain Store oiler*
before bis leaving during tbi*
week extraordinary inducements to
everybody, including country mer
chants. Goods will lie sold regard
less of oust, prlco or profit.
