=e ah, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., TH THE SAMOAN QUESTION. A Return to the Status Quo Impossible. From the London Standard, In January, 1879, the Germans secured a coaling station in the harbor of Salnafata, and in August of the same year the British ob- tained the promise of a naval station in some other Samoan harbor, to be afterward desig- nated, those of Apia, Saluafata and Pago-Pago being expressly excluded. In September, 1879, the agreement by which Apia was put under consular control was entered into, though, as the Senate never confirmed the compact, the treaty only bound the United States in the sense that the Washington government acqui- esced in its execution “as a convenient me- dium fof local administration.” The result has been that, until the disruption of the muni- cipal control by Germany. a tolerably efficient government has been carried on by the three consular representatives. So far as we and the United States are concerned, our relations have almost invariably been of the most cordial character. Neither we nor the Ameri- cans have the faintest desire to annex Samoa, and Prince Bismarck has also disavowed all aggressive intentions. A simple re- tarn to the status quo is, however, impossi- ble. Matters have gone too far for this. Ma- MILAN’S MEDIUM. Influence of Mme. Christich Over the Ex-King of Servia. Cable Special to New York Sun, Ann O’Delia Diss Debar sinks into abashed obscurity when confronted by Mme. Christich, of Servia, The latter has dethroned a king and acted as the agent of one of Russia’s most pronounced and gratifying successes, The last story which comes from Belgrade concerning ex-King Milan's absolute and unquestioning subserviency toa woman, who asserts that she is a medium, is credited in official circles here. Ihave direct and indubitable evidence that it is vouched for by her majesty’s charge d'affaires at Belgrade. Over the chasm of heaving bil- lows and turbulent states Luther R. Marsh may clasp the hand of ex-King Milan in infantile and beaming confidence, while over their heads float corpulent twin sisters of buncombe, hum- bug and hypocrisy. Exactly why spiritualism should be associated with breadth of beam, double chins, and rotundity of the female form divine is a mystery. ‘The ample and flabby proportions of Mrs, Diss Debar are duplicated in the parenthetical Sutlines of the Christich, though in a lesser degree. If the Christich kicks the beam at a shade lower figure than the fat princess of New York, she makes up for the lietoa will,we presume,be permitted to return, and the Samoans will be allowed to choose be- tween him and his rivals without interference from foreign residents or their governments. ‘The coaling stations will be confirmed to them- selves by the high contracting powers, and a bond entered into decreeing the absolute inde- pendence of the rest of the group. It may also be found necessary to devise some plan by which peace will be preserved until Lad = yple settle down, and the disappointed candidaves for the kingship learn that they have to make up their minds to enjoy the security of a pri- vate station. But the Germans must be pre- pared to abandon any idea of preponderatin influence in Samoa. It was this claim whic! led to the b king off of the conference of 1886, and, as Mr. Bates, who was commissioner on that occasion, has—notwithstanding the outspoken character of his article in the cur- rent number of an American magazine—been again appointed to Berlin, any attempt to claim more than a third of the control in conjunction with the United State and Great Britain will render the coming conference entirely nuga- tory. eee How the Vienna Strike was Ended. The tramway strike in Vienna seems to have been ended by the action of the authorities in foreing the companies to come to a compro- mise with their employes. The authorities de- cided that the tramway officials should forfeit their €25.000 security, and pay #5.000 penalty daily until travel was resumed. Connt von Taafe also summoned the railroad chairman and impressed upon him the necessity for re- suming business. Premier Taafe promised a deputation of drivers that their grievances would be inquired into if they returned to work. The tramway officials have consented to re-engage the leaders of the strike. There was no disturbance on the resumption of the traffic. Military detachments continue to patrol the streets. BPC CR Two Firemen Killed During a Storm. One of the heaviest r: and hail storms ever known in Atlanta, Ga., occurred yesterday af- ternoon. It was a veritable cloud-burst. Mem- bers of the fire department were inside the Jackson building. Fire had broken out among | the debris. The storm burst suddenly and a wall fell in upan them, killing W. P. Leach and | Harry Howell. and injuring others. — Leach’s body was found in a short time, but at 9 o'clock Howell's had not been reached. T! I street mission building was blown down and |} completely destroyed. The loss is about $1,000. The fence of the base-ball park was blown down and buildings slightly damaged in ditfer- ent parts of the city. —— so Preparing to Oust the Land-Stealers. The residents of Guthrie, the new city in Oklahoma, who object to the manner in which | deputy United States marshals and other gov- ernment officers were allowed to seize land | ahead of time when the territory was opened | on Monday have organized and adopted a plan | by which they hope to oust those who got lots | illegally. The plan is to put a squatter on the | lot of every man who is known to have been in the territory before noon on Monday. This movement will be backed up by an armed force of two hundred men. If peaceable pos- session is given there will beno trouble. Should Tesistance be made then force will be used to | eject from ¢ property these men. and their property will be thrown from their lots. AtOklahoma City the deputy marshals played | the same at Guthrie, laying out the town Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. | When the first train load of legal ‘boomers arrived they md that seven hundred men were ahead of them so A Large Bequest.

From the Philadelphia Press, A friend recently asked John Burroughs what ®pparent effect the omission of eating meat had Upon his health. Mr. Burroughs, it will be re- membered, gave up the use of meat some three Years ago. “I tind I need less physical exer- cise.” said the author; “that my nerves are much steadier, and that I have far fewer dull, blank, depressing days; in fact, all the func. tions of my body are much better performed deficiency in weight by a severity of purpose which laughs politics to scorn, It is certainly an astounding thing that the most notable dupes of charlatans are men of wide knowledge and striking mental gifts. Ex- King Milan, though dissipated and depraved, isa man of notable attainments,one of the most accomplished of modern princes, and a man familiar with all the foibles and fallacies of Paris and London. His subserviency to the big and majestic Mme. Christich is absolute. He abdicated his throne according to the best information while laboring under the influence of spiritualism. Milan thought Christich was a pany charset whom he was receiving divine instructions. and when he announced his abdi- cation he did so with the manner of a man ina tranc His eyes were glazed, his manner con- strained to a painful degree, and his whole demeanor was that of a man swayed by an ir- resistible outside influence. Since he has given upall care for his country he has resigned himself absolutely to the; medium’s society.

Albert Parson, a boy of sixteen years, and Mrs. Rosy Mail, about twenty-two years of age, werejarrested in Clarksburg,W. Va.,last Sat® urday, on the charge of eloping, and the latter of stealing $60 from her husband, an old man seventy-three years of age. All the parties are from Taylor county. Parson and Mrs. M were on their way to Chillicothe, Ohio. The sensation is the more startling in the fact that Parson is the grandson of Mail and the step grandson of Mrs. Mail. Es An Office-Holding Family. The clerkship of Isle of Wight county, Va., has been in the Young family for one hundred and one years—Francis Young, seven years, from 1787 to 1794, inclusive; James Young, six 1795-1800; Francis Young (second), one year, 1801; Nathaniel Young, forty years, ears, eight year ton Young ond), nineteen y 1871-1889. Chas. H. Hart held the office during the year 1870. ae fs Where Penn Sign the Treaty. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. A well-worn spot. kissed, no doubt, by the lips of many ardent tourists as the one on which Wiliam Penn made his famous treaty with the Indians, has just been proved to be some fifty odd feet removed from the historic elm beneath which that treaty was really made. The spot is on the lower side of Be below Palmer. and is now the property of N. fie & Levy, the shipbuilders. When th pur- chased thie lot two years ago for the purpose of enlarging their works. an old resident of the neighborhood stated that the elm stood abc fifty or sixty feet from the street. He was laughed at, of course, but hfs statement has just been verifi building, Neatie & Levy unearthed at the point indicated, the root of the old elm. about eight feet in circumference, and so firmly embedded that the workmen were unable to remove it without laborious effort. Fifty-five feet from the root, on an adjoining lot, stands the weather-worn marble tablet. which says that upon “this spot” William Penn made his | famous treaty. How the error in logating the t t was made is not clear, but it has lain there m: to be upon stood, ny years and has always been thought the very spot on which Penn soe = Plainly Marked.

From the Burlington Hawkeye. Dr. Howard Crosby tells an anecdote to illus- trate the power of sympathy. The doctor said that a short time ago he was on a New York horse car when a drunken man entered and began using profane and vulgar language Some of the men in the car spoke y to the intruder and told him to The man went on cursing worse thai before. Dr. Crosby went over to him and began talking to him inasoothing manner. The drunken fellow quieted and m a few moments got up to leave the car. As he did so he scowled savage- ly upon the men who had spoken harshly to him. Then he turn to Dr. Crosby, his face beaming with amiability, and putting his hand : ely on Dr. Crosby's back he said: ‘Ah, old feller, you know how it is yourself.” 3 coe sl A Plan to Keep Goff Out. Judge English, of the West Virginia supreme court, has granted a writ of error and super- sedeas to the circuit court decision, requiring the county court to examine and correct er- rors in the count of the vote for governor, and setting the first Monday in June a | the time on which the case will come up for | trial in the supreme court. By this time the legislative joint committee on the gubernato- r utest will have finished its labors, and an effort will be made, which will probably suceeed, to throw out the vote of Kanawha county, which shows a majority of over 1,500 for Goff, on the ground that the matter is still in the courts, and the true result has not been tained. This would elect Fleming by rat 1,300 majority. Precisely the same aé- tion has been taken in this matter as in the congressio! contest, the certificates being issued to Alderson as having a majority outside of Kanawha county get soo A Famous Bridge Destroyed.

A Piece of Fun that Resulted in a Sad Bedside Marriage. A special to the Philadelphia Press from Pittsburg, April 24, says: Capt, Geo. Shanafelt, well-known in local political and Grand Army circles, and Samuel B, Little, became involved in a quarrel on the street yesterday. Little, it is alleged, pulled the captain's whiskers, where- upon the latter plunged a knife in Little's breast over the heart, inflicting an ugly wound. Shanafelt was arrested. Little is a member of battery “B,” national guard of Pennsylvania. He is in a critical condition, and his doctor says that in event of inflammation setting in, which is probable, recovery is very doubtful. Yesterday was the time fixed for the wedding of Little and Miss Sue M. Baumeister, of this city. Elaborate preparations had been made for the event. A large theater party, consist- ing of the bridal couple and guests, had been ar- ranged anda wedding supper had been pre- ared in the home of the groom, which had een newly built and furnished. When Little was taken home with the wound over his heart the prospective bride was sent for and a con- sultation was held, The old superstition about bad luck to pospone a wedding was urged by the groom and his friends, and it was finally de- cided to have the marriage ceremony performed. A minister was hastily sent for, a few intimate nds notified, and Mr. Little and Miss Bau- ister were made man and wife. The groom is twenty-six years of age. It is said he pulled the whiskers of Captain Shanafelt, who was drunk, in fun. > pe ple Advice to Heads of Families. From Judge. Train your clock to strike only every two hours, If you have a dog give it to some friend—for the time being. Never grumble audibly about the dressmaker’s and milliner’s bills, Always let the young man see that you wear slippers in the evening. all the tidies from the sitting-room rs. Men are averse to tidies. hen you go to the theater as chaperon al- s hire a carriage to go home in and then fall asleep on the way An invitation to dinner once in a while will either make the young man feel at home or else scare him off.” This is a good way to learn his intentions. Join the club towhich the young man belongs, and if necessary ask him to see you home late at night. This will be an advantage to you, and also make the young man feel that he is “solid” with you. Do not make use of patent gas extinguishers which turn all the lights out at 10 o'clock. The young man might take it as a hint to go, and he had better regulate the light to suit himself and the girl. The Children’s Eyes. From the Philadelphia Press. Amother sends the following kindly, wise words: ‘Allow me to say a few words in regard to the children’s eyes. Years ago when the children studied their lessons from their books we did not hear very much about their eyes giving out. Let us consult our blackboards and see what they can tell us about this world- wide subje Dear parents and guardians, all ull over this broad land, how many hours through the day are your little children sitting in school, staring at a blackboard, upon which are placed by the teacher most of the lessons for the day, many times the lines being so fine and pale they could not be easily read more than half or two-thirds the way across the room, but the children are required to sce them all the way across and from the remotest corners, M of the children when first looking at the ‘board do not see mneh of any- thing. but by looking very sharp for a few seconds the lines reveal themselves. This, my friends, means strained eyes. and strained ¢ | mean weakened or diseased optic nerves, po bly no eyes atall, it all depending upon the re ity of the strain. Even when the work is quite distinct, for children who have naturally weak eyes the distance many times is so great that the air waves coming between the poor, tired eyes and the board cause the lines to wave and flicker, and especially is this the case when the light is poor and the ventilation ba Anything put on the board for children to se | whether old or young, should have large pro- mus and broad clear lines throughout. so tra effort will have to be made to discover There is a great difference in eyes; one hild will readily see what another could not without the fatal strain.

The sworn statementsof its daily circulation, published from week to week, taken in connection with the data given below, U- lustrate in the most striking manner the steady and rapid growth of the paper in circulation and influence. They also establish, beyond contro Versy, the fact that THE STAR is (he Dest looal ad~ tertising medium, not only in the United States, This claim is based and conceded on the fact that no city in any country is 80 thoroughly cevered by the regular circulation of y except Saturday. 10 p.m. | a single paper as is the city of Wastington by that Eimive st -50a, | Of THE EVENING Stak; and it does not rest on the eTtent alone, but also on the charecier of circula. tion, Not only is its local circulation the largest and 1120p. m. | nd fuilest of any daily paper printed, in propor- tion to population, but it is also the BRST, since the paper does not merely go into the hands of the people of the District of Columbia asa body, but into their homes,—into the families of all condi+ tions, and into those of the money-spending ae Well as the money-rarning portion of the com munity,—in a larger ratio than any daily journal that can be named. By reason of the fullness, freshness and reliability of its news, local, domestic and foreign, its independent and fair treatment of all public questions, and espe- cially because of its intelligent and effective de Votion to local interests. and its close attention to matters with which the household, and particu. larly its laay members, are concerned, THE STAR is everywhere recognized and admitted to be. in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the countings Toom, the workshop, and the family circle. More conclusive evidence on these points no person can ask than that afforded by the table below. The growth of circulation therein indi dow ing, clearly shows the Voted. It will be seen that, in the number of ps issued, every month in the year INSS shows increase over the corresponding cop: month in each year given; and, as a further illus. tration on that point, it may be stated here that there has been @ corresponding advance in the humber of new advertisements printed during te year.
