In calling attention to the attractive list, in another column, of the contents of to-morrow’s triple sheet, Tur Stan takes occasion to tender its thanks to the public for the generous patron- age extended in recognition of its conductors’ efforts to meet all legitimate demands on mod- ern journalism, The common verdict is that Tue Star was never so good a newspaper as it is now, and that never in the history of the national capital has the city had a journal so complete and comprehensive as its daily issues, ‘This achievement is simply the result of liberal well-directed enterprise joined to a just com- prehension of the spirit and requirements of the age. No other paper ever published here had or has or is likely to have anything like ‘Tue Srar’s mechanical equipment, its force of reporters and correspondents or its telegraphic service, and none can therefore hope to match itasanewspaper. Having the complete and exclusive day service of the New York ‘Associ- ated Press, supplemented by the full day re- ports of the United Press, and regularly receiy- ing exclusive special dispatches from Europe and all important points on the western conti- nent, up to the very hour of going to press, it is able to present to its readers a full and relia- ble account of the world’s doings each day, far more complete and much earlier than the same service can possibly be secured from any other quarter, In short, as an instrumentality for the collec- tion and circulation of local, domestic and for- eign intelligence it is absolutely without a ri- val, With these conditions, it follows as a ne- cessity that as an advertising medium Tue | Stan can have no peer, nor even a competitor | worth considering. That this fact 1s under- | stood and accepted by the public, is as certain as it is gratifying. As evidence on this point it is only necessary to mention that its advertis- ing business during the mouth of April just closed exceeded, both in numbers and amount, that of any other nuonth since the paper was established! Equally satisfactory is the showing in regard to circulation, The number of Stan's printed and sold during the month of April also largely exceeded the regular normal output of any pre- vicus month, The only exception to this ag- gregate was March last, when the extra sales incident to the inauguration ceremonies pushed the average for that month somewhat above the April showing. But, on the basis of ordi- nary everyday business demand and supply, April was the banner month for Tux Sran, as Tue San is and is going to be the banner pa- per of Washington!

The British Minister Presented to the President by Mr. Blaine. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. Only United States Attorneys and Mar- shals on the List To-day. Secretary Blaine appeared at the State de- partment this morning looking very well and showing no traces of his recent illness. Soon after his arrival, Sir Julian Pauncefote, the new British minister, came to the department ac- companied by Mr. Edwardes, the charge de affaires, and Secretary Herbert, with several other attaches. The new minister was intro- duced to Secretary Blaine, who immediately proceeded with the party to the White House, where Sir Julian was formally presented to the President. The usual speeches, on such occa- sions, were exchanged. Just at the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. Walker Blaine and Assist- ant Secretary Wharton made their appearance | in the red room. ALL TALL MEN, The messengers in the State department were considerably exercised to-day about the great height of Sir Julian Pauncefote, who, they de- clare, is ‘at least seven feet high.” Acknowl- edging this to be an exaggeration, it is yet true that he is much above the average height. In fact, the legation is composed of very tall men. Mr. Walker Blaine said this morning that the xX men of the legation here aggregate thirty- seven feet in height. The President made the following appoint- ments to-day: To be United States attorneys—Sam'l N. | Hawkins, of Tennessee, for the western dis- | trict of Tennessee: John Ruhm. of Teanessee, | for the middle district of Tennessee; De Alva 8. Alexander, of New York, for the northern district of New York. | To be United States marshals—Joshua B. | Hill. of North Carolina, for the eastern district of North Carolina; Carter B. Harrison, of Ten- \ nessee, for the middle district of Tennessee; | Jas. W. Brown, of Tennessee, for the western | district of Tennessee. | 8. W. Hawkins, the newly-appointed attorney for the western district of Tennessce. was the republican candidate for governor at the last election. He is a resident of Huntington, and is said to be an excellent lawyer. J. W. Brown, who has been appointed United States marshal for the same district, lives at Brownsville, and has held the office of clerk of the court of Haywood county since 1886. He is | a@ young man of high repute. John Ruhm, who was appointed district at-| torney for the middle district of Tennessee, is | anative of Germany. He came to this country in 1861, joined the Union army ang served throughout the war, most of the time on Gen, Thomas’ staff. At the close of the war he set- tled at Nashville, and has lived there ever since. Bes said to be one of the best lawyers in the state. C. B. Harrison, the new marshal for the same district. served in the Union army during the war and rose to the rank of major. He is a resident of Murfreesboro, J. B. Hill, of Raleigh, who was appointed marshal for the eastern district of North Caro- lina, held the same office under previous re- publican administrations. There was practi- cally no opposition to his reappointment. D. 8. Alexander, who has been appointed district attorney for the northwest district of New York, is a native of Maine, but has, for a number of years, been a citizen of Ohio and In- diana, From the latter state he was appointed Fifth Auditor of the Treasury, but was removed from this position upon the advent of the Cleve- land administration. He then settled in Buf- falo, N. Y., and engaged in the practice’ of the law. During the recent campaign he assisted in attending to the correspondence of Mr. Har- rison, and was frequently spoken of in connec- tion with the office of private secretary to the President. Us BUREAU. Quarters in Atlantic Building Leased— Geographer Appointed. The superintendent of the census, Mr. Robt. P. Porter, has leased temporary quarters in the Atlantic building for the use of the office. At present the census force is confined to the superintendent and a few assistants, and the seven rooms on the fourth floor of the building mentioned will afford sufficient accommodation for some months to come. Where the perma nent quarters of the census bureau will be is not known, as it is found difficult to secure a building of sufficient size. When the work begins in earnest there will be some 1,500 clerks employed. to oceupy several buildings as was done during the last census, In that event the rooms m the Atlantic building which suit Mr. Porter exactly may be used for the executive quarters, APPOINTMENT OF GEOGRAPHER OF THE CENSUS, Mr. Porter has not as yet completed his list of principal assistants.
