WASHIN \GTON: THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is wort more than all the other papers published im Washington. = = ew York Office: Room 93, Tribun Building. The Star Out of Town. Tue Evestxe Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. @2 Bul all such orders must be accompanied by Je money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. eg Yesterday was a notable day in Alexandria's calendar. marked by parades, brilliant decora- tions, fireworks. fervid oratory, and the gather- ing of a multitude to witness the unveiling of the monument in honor of the Alexandria soldiers who fell in the confederate ranks dur- ing the civil war. It was also the occasion of a noteworthy contribution to the history of that war from the confederate point of view by Governor Lee, in so far as his speech touched upon the causes of the union victory at Gettys- burg. Hitherto it has generally been accepted as fact that General Robert E. Lee was at fault in his plan of battle, and writers on the subject have quoted what purported to be utterances of his assuming all responsibility for the disaster. His nephew, however, practically disclaims in his behalf any such admission. Longstreet, Hill, and Ewell, says the governor, were the corps commanders; to Longstreet was com- mitted the assault, and Lee’s plan was to have him use his whole corps, supported by half of but the tactical formation for attack was left, as was customary, to the corps commander in charge. He continues: “As the column of attack was organized, there was no more chance of writing success upon its brave banners than that the three hundred Spartans could kill Persians by the million, or six hundred horsemen ride over the ramparts of Sebastopol, or the wings of the French eagles of the old guard of Napoleon could victoriously flap over the whole army of Wellington. * * * It appears that there were five brigades in the front line supported by three brigades in the rear. * * * This would make the attacking force at the start a little over 12,000, but the distance was so far andthe ground so clear, the artillery fire in front and on both flanks so terrible, that by the time these devoted troops got within musket range their numbers had greatly de- creased. A tremendous cannonade preceded this movement. which exhausted the ammuni- tion of the confederates, a fact which Gen. Lee sayshe did not know when the assault took place.” After a stirring description of the battle which followed the pressing forward of this small force in the face of a storm of cannon shot from the whole line of Cemetery Ridge and its inevitable result, Gov. Lee exclaims: “What does Gen, Lee mean when he replies | to a trusted staff officer, who told him the as- | sault was not made as he intended, by sayin: ‘I know it, I know it." And what was he think- ing of when he told Prof. White, of Washington and Lee university, ‘Had I had Stonewall Jack- son at Gettysburg I would have won a great victory.’ Oh, no, military critics, the confed- erate commander did not lose his head, or that equipoise which so characterized him, His lans were well couceived—the execution de- jective. This defense of Gen. Lee involves an attack upon either the capacity oz the good faith of Gen. Longstreet. Probably it will not be long before we shall have the battle of Gettysburg fought over, on paper, for the settlement of two men’s fame, as the second battle of Manas- sas was re-fought on the floors of Congress in order to define the share which one man “had in causing its disastrous end. a ———— The Chicago insane asylum investigation is adding new chapters of horrors to the history of brutality and crime in such institutions. When the American Charles Reade writes another “Hard Cash” the facts upon which his story is founded will not be treated by the pub- licas improbable. The future novelist will have difficulty in coining fictions concerning the treatment of the insane, which will not be tame in comparison with the terrible facts which recent investigations havo disclosed. A reform is everywhere extremely desirable which shall take the offices which involve the care of the insane out of politics. The ordi- nary political striker who receives a certain salary as a political reward and has attached to it the bothersome care of insane persons, idiots or infirm paupers, is not apt to be espe- cially tender in respect to his charges. And his brutality has freer rein from the belief that the public will not attach weight to the charges of his defective wards. = The furore raised in New York city by one of the arches built for the late centennial celebra- tion suggests the question why this form of memorial art has not been used in Washington. We have statues, portrait 1nd emblematical, of marble, bronze and granite, pedestrian and equestrian, with sitting and standing figures, and of natural and heroic sizes; but not one arch. And yet an arch, appropriately in- seribed, is one of the most effective of monu- ments. Placed at or near the city’s boundary itwould serve the double purpose of com- memorating the event or the name in honor of which it was’ erected, and of marking the limits of the area of the capital of the nation at the time of its construction—a reminder which will Le of great interest to posterity when Wash- ington shall have a population of a million or two and cover the whole District. Meszzs Date Stone ‘The Triple Extracts have been selling rap- fly the past few days. The price advertised— 29e. per ounce, 4 ounces for $1—is far below the amount usually charged for Perfumes of the samo grade. Many ask how they can be sold at such prices. The question is easily answered. We do more business than any six drugstores in the city.

Perhaps it ts known to most women that ‘Opening Days’ occur at the commencement of a seasou.” “Souvenirs at the ‘Palais Royal’ are the new goods advertised at cost prices.” “If this were not the twelfth annual mid-winter pening’ one would have little faith in such extrava- gant promises. It is because such promises have been | fulfilled in the past that the Palais Royal ‘Opening’ | occasions have come to be a matter of interest to —— and residents, and, therefore, a good news item."
