CITY AND DISTRICT. © A recently published work on “The Artof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable 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.” Tux 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. This few papers do! CROWNING A QUEEN. Pretty Dances Around a May-Pole at the Rifles’ Hall. There was an interesting sight atthe National Rifles’ hall last night, the occasion being the May ball given by Profs. Hinton and Green- well. There was a May-pole with gaily-colored streamers and allthe usual accessories of a May ball. Many of the little ones were prettily costumed in keeping with the characters they assumed in the dances. In the minnet half a dozen little misses. attired like dames of the colonial period, with powdered hair, maintained the stately dignity of the dance. The corona- tion of the May queen, personated by Miss Johnson, and of the associate queens, was at- tended with pretty ceremonies, but Miss Elsie Lower, a wee little tot, who officiated as crown- bearer. carried off the honors by the gravity and grace with which she performed her duties. The maids of honor attending the May queen were Misses Banks, Harvey, Acker, and jdwin. The other queens and their attend- ants were as f ‘#: queen of seasons, Miss Grant; maids of honor, Misses Thom, Weisman, Burns and Hodgkins. Queen of flowers, Miss Shelse; maids of honor, Misses Bayne, Cook, Coleman and Hillyer. Queen of dancing, Miss Boutelle; maids of honor, Misses Bright and Earnsh: Queen of morn, Miss Whelpley; maids of honor, Misses French and Skerrett. There were a number of fancy dances before the queen, in which the little ones who took won much praise. Those who took part im the special dances were Misses Boutelle, Shelse, Bayne, Lower and Cook, and Masters Wallace, Hillyer, Grant, Godwin, Earnshaw, and Hutchinson. Mr. Joseph Montgomery acted as floor manager. After the children were through with their dances the older folks took the floor. meg MONTGOMERY COUNTY NEW: Improvements at Gaithersburg and Vi- cinity—Incendiarism—Personal Notes. Correspondence of Tue EVENING STAR. Rocxvitte, Mp., May 20, 1889. The slaughter-house and contents belonging to Mr. Richard Hewitt, at Norbeck, were de- stroyed by fire last Saturday night. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an in- eendiary, and this is the second time the build- ings upon the same property have been de- stroyed in @ similar manner within the past year. Mr. Robert W. Carter, register of wills for this county, has been quite ill for the past few days at his residence, near this place. At latest wccounts he was improving. Miss Hattie Simms, of M street, Washington, has for several days been visiting Miss Rena Maloney. at the residence of her father, Mr. W. W. Maloney, this place. The ladies of St. Mary's Catholic church, who propose to hold a fair and festival at this place on the 28th instant. have been presented with a pair of handsome diamonds by Madame Kilpatrick, widow of the late patrick, who is now a resident of this place. They will be put up at raffle on the night of the fair, to- gether with abandsome silk quilt, set of har- ness. and other valuable articles. In the march of rapid improvement along the line of the Metropolitan railroad Gaithers- burg is keeping up. Ashort time ago Messrs. Brookes and Russell purchased from the Gloyd estate a tract of 41 acres, which they have laid out in lots with broad avenues and streets, and upon which have been erected two handsome eight-room houses. Upon the same property have been constructed the residences of R. J. W. Brewster, of Washington, and Mr. Richard Clagett. The latter, in course of erection, will be a handsome cottage of seven rooms, with the modern improvements. Mr. C. W. Hogan is about completing the erec- tion of a large building on the tract, to be used as a bekery. and which will be in operation in a few weeks. Mr. Rutherford, of Washington, who recently purchased the “Hall” property, at the west end of town, is having many improve- ments made in having the property thoroughly renovated, an addition built to the house, and the whole repainted. This house contains six- teen rooms, and when completed will be one of the finest residences in the county. Mr. Geo. Meern has the contract for building and Mr. J. T. Martin for painting. This is one of the finest ayy oat in the vicinity of Gaithersburg. having been formerly occupied by W. J. Cooke, and adjoins the stock farm of Diamond & Munro. Mr. J. E. Garrett is building a fine residence on Frederick ave- nue, which will soon be completed. At Oak- mont, adjvining Gaithersburg, Mr. 8. G. En- glish has about completed the fine residence of Airs. Weaver, of Georgetown, and also has con- tracts for the building of two other houses at the same place. Several lots have also been sold recently at the same place. Hill left Gaithersburg on Thurs- . attle,W. T.. to join her husband, who has been there for several w. SAM. > A HORRIBLE RECITAL. George Hill’s Story of Brutalities in the Chicago Insane Asylum. The most horrible revelation yet made in Judge Prendergast’s investigation of the man- agement of Chicago's public insane asylum was reached yesterday in the testimony of George Hill, an engineer, now running for the Lake Bhore road. Mr. Hill is a shrewd-looking man with a straightforward manner that carried convic- tion with it. He said he was admitted to the institution in Ja \ cary, 1888, and was discharged as cured the following May. He was not vio- lently insane when he went to the asylum, and ou his arrival was asked by an attendant named Lock if he was insane. “He said he was not. ‘Well,” replied Lock, “we will make you a d—n sight insaner than you are now.” Then another attendant named Julian or- dered me to sweep out the room. " I replied that 1 was not sent there for that purpose. “You ain't. eh? We will see about that.” Then he knocked me down and kicked me in the body and mouth, and kicked two teeth out and broke my arm. Hill rolled up his coat-sleeve and showed about three inches below the elbow a huge lump, where the ends of the broken bones, ily joined, stuck out. “They knocked me down again,” continued Hill, “and broke one of my ribs. My arm caused me great pain and I had no proper treatment. _ I tried to sce the doctor, but Julian told me that if I dared to speak he would kill me.” “Prova Supervisor Jones that I was badl: treated, and he sent me to another war Thea Lock and another attendant held me down while Julian kicked me in a terrible manner. I got up bleeding and said I would have justice some day. + You —— said Julian, ‘we will give you all the justice you want,’ and he struck me and knocked me down again. One day a poor fellow named Levy was brought in. did not know enough to go to the dining-room, and I was showing him the way, when Lock asked me what I was doing. Julian came up and Lock said, “Th ‘ Il show him how to eat,” said Julian, and he grasped Levy by the hair and, throwing his head back, jammed a big piece of bread into his mouth. Levy tried to run away, and hid in one of the rooms, There he was pay ny by Julian and Lock. They struck him im the face, knocked him down and jumped on is stomach. Levy's face turned black. “Get they said, but he could not move, and they picked him up and threw him on the bed. The poor fellow died that night.” The court-room was as still as death during the awful recital. The witness was told to icing in his wife to corroborate his story, and jarold Moy bo ino on by the judge —_—_—_—_—_—_—_— Poor girl, poor t gat pL ee!

HARDSHIPS OF HIS EARLY BOYHOOD—HIS SUCCESS AS A PUBLISHER. From Lippincott's Magazine for June. I was self-supporting at a very early age. In my twelfth year, when school was dismissed for the summer, I took the place of errand boy in a book store in Baltimore, at a salary of $2a week, and spent the vacation in hard work, and Leajoyed it. Ihave never been out of em- ployment; always found something to do, and was always eager to do it, and think I earned every cent of my first money. When first at work in Philadelphia I would get up very early in the morning, go down to the store and wash the pavement, and put things in order before breakfast,and in the winter time would make the fire and sweep out the store. In the same spirit, when books were bought at night at auc- tion, I would early the next morning go for them with a wheelbarrow. AndI have never outgrown this wholesome habit of doing things directly and in order. I would to-day as lief carry a bundle up Chestnut street from the Ledger office a8 I would then. As a matter of fact, I carry bundles very often. But I under- stand that certain vane men of the period would seorn to do as much. At the age of thirteen I entered the United States navy, and passed fifteen months at Nor- folk; but I didn’t like it, Returning to Balti- more, I attended school for a time. Then I came to Philadelphia, and entered a book-store kept by Mr. Thomson, at the corner of 6th and Arch streets. I was both clerk and errand boy, ‘ked from early in the morning until late at night, and received a salary of $3 a week. Gradually I began to attend the evening auc- tions, which at that time were frequeutly held in this city; I became familiar with the titles and prices of valuable books, and was soon able to buy them cheaply. In this way I assisted Mr. ‘Thomson for four years; his business kept increasing; and at length he sent me to repre- sent him at the book-trade sales held every six months in New York and Boston. Here, of course, I made the acqaintance of many book- buyers and publishers—excellent men, whom I have never forgotten, and who, Iam glad to have not forgotten me. Those still living often visit me, and whenever they do the oid life and the old faces are very vivid in my memory—the Harpers, Lippincotts, Putnams, Ticknors, Fields, Co geome ittle & Browns. T had saved enough money when about eigh- teen years old to go into business for myself: 80 I set up a modest store in a small room in the old Public Ledger building. It was a suc- cess; I made money slowly but surely. Mean- while, it is said of me that I aspired to higher things; that I was even heard to say. yet be the owner of the Public Ledger. is true, and doubtless it is, I do not seem to have overreached myself at that early age. 1 was twenty-one years old when I entered into the book-publishing business under the firm name of RK. E. Peterson & Co, afterward Childs & Peterson. One of our first books, Kane's ‘Arctic Explorations,” was a great hit. It did not look at first as though we had made a wise venture. When the work was ready to issne I took a sample copy and went over to New York to solicit orders from the leading booksellers. The largest house would only give me asmall order. ‘Mr. Childs,” they said, “you won't sell more than a thousand altogether.” They ordered at first only 100 copies, but soon after sent for 5,000 more to meet the demand. Within one ar after the publication we paid Dr. Kane a copyright of nearly 270.000. It was the doctor's original in- tention to write only a scientific account of the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, but I persuaded him to make of it the popular nar- rative of it he did, and he afterward admitted to me that I was right in my suggestion. When the manuscript was finished he sent me a thetic note, in which he said: “‘Here you ha the book complete and, poor as it is, it has been my coffin.” No doubt he had then some premonition of the beginning of the end of his remarkable career. He died in Cuba within a year after receiving his copyright money, and doubtless many people remember weil the splendid tribute arranged for him; that funeral s one of the most remarkable in history, We made another hit with Parson Brownlow’s book, of which 50,000 copies were ordered in advance of publication. Other successful works issued by us were ‘Peterson’s Familiar Science,” of which a quarter of a million copies have been sold; ‘‘Bouvier's Law Dictionary:” “Sherwood’s Blackstone,” and Dr. Allibone’s great ‘Dictionary of British and American Au- thors.” It cost over $60,000 to publish this last- named important book in its three large volumes, and a great deal of the credit for the successful completion of the undertaking is due to the en- terprise of the late J. B. Lippincott, who brought out the last two volumes ‘upon my re~ tirement from the book-publishing business in 1863. The following year I purchased the Pubhe And I want to say just here that much of the success of the paper has been due to the cordial and intelligent co-operation of my friend A. J. Drexel. The war, by greatly increasing the cost of iabor and material, chiefly the white paper, had made it impossible to continue, save at a loss, the publication of the Ledger as‘a penny paper. It had been sold at a cent ever aince it was started in 1836, and Messrs, Swain & Abell, then the proprietors, though they had lost over 100,000 by keeping the rate at “six and a juarter cents per week,” were averse toa change. Unable to agree to increase the price of the paper or the rates of advertising, they determined to dispose of their property. ‘The Ledger was for sale, and I bought it—the whole of it just as it was—for a sum slightly in excess of the amount of its annual loss, It was not generally known, of course, that the establishment was then losing about $480 upon every number of the paper which it is- sued. To all appearances it was as prosperous as ever; the circulation was great, the columns were crowded with advertisements. Yet, as a matter of fact, there was a weekly loss of 3,000, or $150,000 a year. The Ledger was purchased on the $4 of De- cember, 1564. A week later I announced two simple but radical changes, I doubled the price of the paper and advanced the advertis- ing rates toa profitable figure. Of course there was an instant and not inconsiderable falling off of patronage. But the Ledger was already an “institution” of the city; for twenty yearsit had beenthe established medium of communication between employers and em- ployed, between buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, bereaved families and their friends, To many people it was a necessity. So, although at first I lost some subscribers and advertisers, they were soon won back again, At the end of a month the price of the Ledger was reduced from 12 to 10 cents a week, and from that day to this the circulation and adver- tising has increased. sie TO LOOK AFTER THE GERMANS. That Class of Emigrants Considered by the Presbyterian Assembly. e After the report of Tue Stan closed yester- day of the session of the Presbyterian General Assembly in New York, Rev. Dr. John Scott, President Harrison’s father-in-law, entered and took a front seat. He was effusively welcomed by Dr. Crosby. Dr. W. O. Ruston, of Dubuque, Iowa, presented the report of the committee appointed to inquire into evangelical work among emigrants, particularly Germans and Scandinavians, The report started off by say- ing that during the last four years the number of emigrants that came to this country was twice as large as the number of Goths and Vandals who swept over southern Europe. The emigration question was spoken of and also the tendency of Germans to infidelity, and a recommendation was made that a third secre- tary be appointed in the board of foreign mis- sions who will devote his time to the emigrant population. t the evening session Rev. George Baker, of Philadelphia, and Rev. R. 8. Allen, secretary of the board of freedmen, spoke of ‘The Freed- men.” Both earnestly urged the formation of educational facilities for the negro. Any move- ment to this end, Dr. Allen felt assured, would aay be assisted by the wealthy members of e race. Rev. L. 8. Coffin, of Iowa, urged the assem- bly to take strong measures in relation to the observance of the Sabbath in the interests of the 140,000 railway brakemen and switchmen in the United States. The committee on ministerial relief, Rev. Dr. Hamlin, chairman, presented a ‘report which showed that there were 615 families re- ceiving relief from this committee.
