Miny 14, 1899, THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than the other papers published Im Washington. Wew York OfSce: Room 93, Tribune Building, Acurious human compound was the “mind- reader,” Washington Irving Bishop, who has just died under circumstances as dramatic as any in which he passed his brief but changeful life. What he termed mind-reading was really mothing more than the art of detecting, through involuntary muscular movements on the part of the persons who were acting as subjects for his experiments, their impuises in any particu- lar direction. Everybody possesses the natural power to a greater or less degree, but it requires a nervous organism of peculiar seusitiveness to sugceed with it as he did. He was probably the best per- former in the world of what is known as the bank-note test—reading the number on a hid- den bank-note, it being known only to his subject. His faculty for finding carefully-con- cealed objects at a distance was very keen also, and he had enough of the showman’s instinct coupled with his extraordinary nervous sus- ceptibility to give his muscle-feeling the ap- pearance of occultism, realizing that the public would pay more money, asa rule, for something which remained a mystery to them than for that which was candidly explained. His tem- peramental peculiarities made him suspicious and irritable and caused him to be continu- ally in hot water with somebody, often with friends who were exerting themselves to be of service to him, but whose motives he miscon- strued. That the nervous over-strain to which he constantly subjected himself should have impaired his strength and finally caused his death by sudden collapse, will not astonish anyone who had a chance to study his nature and his work at close range. _ Another decision in the Myra Clark Gaines case leaves most of the public in a more hope- Jess muddlement than ever as to the condition of the estate and the status of the litigation over it. One generation in interest has already passed away and another is getting far along in life, while a third is coming upon the stage and preparing to carry on the tight from the point where the others drop it. The whole thing re- calls, more strongly perhaps than any other case in the annals of American jurisprudence, the Jarudyce vs. Jarndyce which has passed from a place in purely imaginative literature into a byword for the illustration of everything that is tedious and involved in legal warfare. Like the other “final decisions” of the Gaines case, the one of yesterday leaves numerous op- portunities “for continuing the litigation. Doubtless the case will survive to celebrate its centennial, eo The controversy over the attitude of General Clinton B. Fisk in national politics has finally brought forth an authoritative statement from him that he is as strong a prohibitionist as ever, but will be glad to unite with all the good temperance peopie of his state to overthrow the liquor rule, Practically, this ia treated as an announcement of intention to act with the republicans of the state to overthrow the dem- ccratic legislature. which has disgusted the prohibitionists by its course, with an expressed reservation of the right to serve the republi- cans in the same way if their course shall be disappointing. The declaration is rendered of some importance by the fact that the pro- hibitionists hold the balance of power in the state. oe It is reported that a schooner has dashed against and damaged itself upon a ledge of rock in the Georgetown harbor. Flats, and not rock-reefs, have been considered the draw- back upon the capital's marine commerce. This casualty suggests the possibility that with the defining of a narrower and deeper channel of the Potomae by means of the pending harbor improvement the mortifying lack of water to float vessels may no longer be imputed to the river of the capital. The fact that the schooner energetically struck a reef instead of ignominious!y running aground in soft mud is distinctly encouraging. especially as the damage done causes the disaster to resemble not so much the recent calcmity at Apia as the his- toric wreck in the “raging canawl.” If Con- gress will perform faithfully its flat-filling duties Georgetown may renew its ancient trading glories, and the capital, as a com- mercial city, may be happy yet. ——— Mach comment has been drawn from the press all over the country by the news of the notice served by the proprietor of a broom factory in Duluth upon the unmarried men in his employ that they must find themselves wives or get out. The general idea seems to be that he isa crank on the subject of matri- mony, or that he has so much at stake in the improvement of Duluth that he is bound to increase its population to the extent of his power. All the commentators thus far seem to have overlooked the theory that this mannufac- turer has had an interesting conjugal experi- ence himself, which has taught him that an energetic wife, with ideas of her own to im- press upon her husband, can put brooms to more than one use, and thus create an extra demand to repair the ravages of domestic con- sumption. a Governor Hill will not advance himself in the good opmion of the honest political reformers by his latest veto of the Saxton ballot-reform bill. He claims that there are other ways, more practical and effective, for procuring the re- sult which this measure purports to aim at, but he does not mention any; he declares that the provisions of the Saxton bill would be very easily evaded, but he does not say how. There is no logic in such reasoning. It is merely the opposition of Mr. Hill's unsupported say-so to the deliberate judgment of scores of able writers of all parties, backed by the experience of communities in which the same thing bas been tried with success. Unless the New York legislature is bound up in “deals” and trickery, which « fair and unpurchased ballot would overthrow, the best thing it can do to prove its straightforwardness is to pass the bill over the governor's veto without further debate. ——- The horse which fell upon Richard Mans- field in Rotten row the other day is probably not the one he has been offering his kingdom for every night since the run of “Richard the began. ™ LL © A recently published work on “The Artof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford Feliable information as to the value of a publi- cation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Tae Star invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater importance to the advertiser, it charges everybody the same price for the same service.
