THE WORLD’S FAIR ‘OF 1892. Closing Proceedings of the National Board of Promotion. THE MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS FAVORIXG WASH- INGTON FOR THE EXPOSITION ADOPTED AND & COMMITTEE OF FIVE APPOINTED —THE PA- ‘TRIOTIC GOVERNOR OF DELAWARE. ‘The deliberations of the national board of Promotion for the world’s fair of 1892 continued for some time yesterday after the lapse of time bed forced Taz Sran’s report to a con- clusion. When this event occurred the dele- gates were discussing the propriety of putting in the memorial to Congress a clause looking to the establishment of a permanent feature of the fair. The southern delegates opposed this strongly, the mayor of Richmond leading the van of an apparently large majority of the members. Gov. Jackson of Maryland and Gov. Beggs of Delaware threw their influence with the anti-educational feature, and in the face of the general opposition Col. Beam of Read- ing, the father of the permanent building clause, withdrew it for the sake of harmony. A VIGOROUS SPEECH IN FAVOR OF WASHINGTON. Gov. Beggs made a vigorous speech, strongly advocating the selection of the national capital. He said in reply to certain objections that Washington could not adequately enter- tain the crowds’ that if those who entertained that opinion would only stay here any le’ of time they would probably go home with gout. His speech evoked more applause and aroused more enthusiasm than any other effort of the day, and whenever he mentioned the at- tractions of the capital the audience broke forth into cheers. THE MEMORIAL ADOPTED AND A COMMITTEE TO PRESENT IT APPOINTED. The resolutions containing the memorial to Congress, as printed in yesterday's Stan, were finally adopted without a dissenting voice, after which Mr. Hallet Kilbourn made a speech rela- tive to the feeling of the citizens of Washington snd read the petition which they propose to in- troduce to Congress providing for a #10.000,000 Joan, and which was also printed in yesterday's a. The chairman then appointed a committee of five, as provided for in the resolutions, as fol- lows: John W. Douglass, E. Kurtz Johnson, ‘M. M. Parker, George C. Gorham and Alex- ander D. Anderson, to present the main me- morial to Cougress. The convention then ad- journed. EXCURSION TO MOUNT VERNON. About twenty-five members of the national board of promotion started down the river at 10 o'clock this morning on the W. W. Corcoran. Their objective point was Mount Vernon,where the party spent the day in examining the in- teresting relics, the proximity of which to Washington affords another reason for holding the exposition in this city —— BROOKLYN WINS AGAIN, Giving the Bridegrooms a Big Lead in the World’s Championship Contest. Brooklyn won again yesterday from New York, thus taking a big lead in the race for the world’s championship. The game was played in Brooklyn and the score was 10 to7. Crane THE SEAL ABATTOIRS. Destruction in Behring Sea of 200,000 Seals Illegaliy. Charles J. Goff, Upited States treasury agent in charge of the seal islands, Behring sea, who arrived at San Francisco on the steamship St. Paul from Alaska on Tuesday night, says: “Un- less effective measures are at once taken by the government to stop illegal sealing opera- tions in Behring sea the seal will be totally ex- tinct within five or six years. I do not think that more than 50,000 seals can be taken on the seal isiands next year. The Alaska commercial company had difficulty in getting their 100,000 seal skins this summer and were obliged to kill many inferior animals, There were thirty illegal sealing vessels, British and American, in Behring sea this summer and they took 40,000 seal skins to Victoria, They kill six seals in the water where they get the carcasss of one. So they have killed over 200,000 illegally this , half males and half females, the latter tease ual to two animals. The ular idea that are increasing is wrong. ee eae MORE PENNIES AND NICKELS. Trade is Improving and There is a De- mand for Them. The United States government has givens contract to Merchant & Co. of Philadelphia for 100,000 pounds of copper blanks and 50,000 pounds of nickel blanks to be converted into pennies and nickels at the Philadelphia mint. This means a return of brisk business, When pennies and nickels are wanted trade is picking up. The Philadelphia mint supplies all the nickels and pennies for the entire country, the mint at New Orleans being almost idle now and the one at San Francisco coining nothing but gold and silver pieces. The copper used for pennies is the best and is from the Calumet and Hecla mining company on Lake Superior. The metal is shipped in bulk from the mines to the factories of Herchant & Co. in Connecticut, There it is rolled and stamped out in circles of the requisite size. These circles are perfectly plain, with the exception of the raised or milled edge. At this stage the pieces intended for pennies are as bright as gold pieces, while those intended for nickels resemble highly pol- ished silver. In this condition they are de- livered to the mint. The number of pieces in a package is reckoned by its weight. To find out how many small coins the amount of nickel and copper contracted for will make, multiply the number of pounds of copper by one hun- dred and the number of pounds of nickel by seventy. The metal now about to be made up into coin will make 3,500,000 nickels and 10,000,000 pennies. One hundred pennies weigh exactly one pound. 00 A Water Spout at Danville. A terrific thunder storm passed over Dan- ville, Va., at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, ac- companied by a phenomenal downpour of rain, which was in the nature of a sudden water spout. Streets were flooded and many cellars inundated, This storm was followed by a bitter-cold snap, the thermometer falling to 40 degrees, Cold, drizzling rain fell all day. or == What Senator Farwell Says. At the banquet in Chicago to the Pan-Ameri- can congress delegates Tuesday Senator Far- well made aspeech. ‘We must offer to you our exports,” he said, addressing the Central and South American delegates, ‘as cheaply as | others do; and to thatendI shall favor such legislation as will bring about this result, even to the extent of uninterrupted trade between all the countries of this hemisphere.” Able to Identify Him. From the Chicago Tribune. Customer (to New York bootblack)—“I shall have to give you four cents, my son. That is all the change I have.” _ Bootblack (calling out)—“Say, cull, one o° these yere world’s fe millionaires is loose. Look out fur ‘im. and Ewing and Terry and Clark were the bat- teries. The day was very cold and raw and | the 3,000 people who attended were barely | able to keep warm. Six innings carried the | game well into the dark and were all that could be played. The umpiring favored Brooklyn | throughout and the partisans of the Giants were disgusted. New York made 9 hits and 8 errors and Brooklyn 7 hits andi error. The Giants played a chasing game, making five | runs in the sixth and thus tying the score. But | the Bridegrooms made three im their half and | settled the contest. OTHER GAMES. Philadelphia defeated the Athletics, 5 to 4. Kansas City took a scalp from Von der Abe, 14 to & Columbus whip) the Infante, 6 to 2. Itseems that President Hewett has not of- fered contracts to any of his men because they | have uot yet been classified by President | Young. This is very sensible; it might be that | the work done now would have to be repeated. | In striking contrast with this attitude is that of President Spalding of Chicago, who says “When the men signed our contracts last year it was under the agreement that we had the right to reserve them for this year. Now we wish to enforce the terms of that contract, but | as yet no one but Capt. Anson bas signed. I have notified every one of the players that they Must come to the front and for next year. I do not kuow what they will do. They havea | secret organization and they won't say they | will not sign nor will they say they will. They | siraply look wise and say nothing. But I will | fix them,” added Mr. Spalding, “for my at-| torney assures me not one of them will be able to play ball in Chicago if I serve an in- Junction on them.” ‘THE BROTHERHOOD SCHEME. It is more than likely that the widely adver- tised brotherhood scheme has been the result of the machinations of a few leading and influ- ential agitators who have acted without any authority from the central body. It is there- fore with evident truth that the brotherhood players deciare that they know nothing of the scheme. In view of this fact the following an- nouncement from Chicago is interesting: “The brotherhood of base ball players has issued a call for a convention, which will meet in New York soon after the first of next month. Fred Pteffer, who is reported to be at the head of the brotherhood movement in Chicago, said: “Each chapter will send one man, and then all our grievances will be talked over. The classification of players and the sa’ary question will be an important considerat ram | dhink we can settle everything in a day; anyhow we will not be in session over two days. We agreed that it would be best to hold a meeting before the meeting of the league directors, because we might decide to present our claims before them. But it is too early yet to anticipate what we willdo. We have really not yet decided upon anything definite, and until the meeting occurs all talk about what action we will take is merely surmise—that is, beyond,what I have already told you.” NOTES. “The Giants are in the soup,” pathetically remarked De Wolf Hopper last night. “It’s a thing their benefit is over, or this would art it. We are the ple no more.” Indianapolis has signed Eiteljorg, a young Pitcher who has been on trial since the close Of the season. None of the regular and re- served his players have signed, nor have they been requested to do so. oop eae Kerra ig of the Pittsburg club says he will institute legal proceedings to — players from playing with rival patel sa jons. Wise and Daly are the only Washington play- ers in town. ——— What Tanner Lost. The Washington correspondent of the World intimates that Corporal Tanner has fallen be- tween half dozen stools and says: “There isn’t much prospect of a consolation stake for Tan- er. He has had no offer of any office from the President. Senator Hiscock did, on his own Tespousibility, promise him the marshalehij of New York if be would resign, Hiscock hoping thus to get his may Poole appointed. ‘Tanner said there were two other places be would like—the recordership of deeds here now held by Trotter (colored) and the register ship of the Treasury, now held by Gen. Rose- erans. Neither of these he could have. If it bad not been for his Dalzell letter and subse- quent interviews ke might, however, have got pyrmey boys ‘Tanner is quoted as waying to 8 friend that Gen. Alger sent word to hin, be- fore he went to Milwaukee, whither the Presi- dent had e: pressly forbidden him to go, to be sure to come, and that if the President crowded him out of his office be (Alger) would get him # suitable position in private busiuess.

It is equally true that certain circum- stances in their history militate against long | life. Among these latter intermarriage is per- haps the most important of all. The followers of George Fox have never been very numerous, but until late years they have been extremely exclusive. The inevitable result of that has been extensive intermarriages throughout the | whole community. The consequences of the frequency of intermarriage have been and are still very evident. Quakers, as a class, are not muscularly robust; many of them are decidedly anwmic,and not a few are mentally feeble. Yet, in spite of these practical and serious drawbacks, the Friends, as a class, do more than their proportion of the world’s serious business, and they manage to attain to a high average of longevity. Now this is exactly the kind of fact that true medical science likes to get hold of and to interrogate and learn from. What is the reason, asks the sensible man, why Quakers, with so iagsg f undoubted disadvant- ages, attain to such a high average of success in all that constitutes worthy life, and also eceed in enjoying their success to au excep- tionally old age? The reason, we are convinced, is to be found in their quiet habits and disciplined life. An ordinary doctor or even layman would probably have felt much more interest in the subject at this point if we had been able to affirm that the Quakers owed their success and long life to certain drugs, as, for example, to arsenic, phosphorus, strychnia and the like; or to cer- tain methods of feeding, as vegetarianism, or meat cating, or fruit eating, or drinking, or teetotaliem. or smoking and so on. But we submit that that shows a want of real mental capacity. For what, after all, is the true im- —— of the subject? Does it not consist in the undoubted character of the results? The results are really the things to be considered. As a matter of fact the Quakers are successful in life. Asa matter of fuct they do live long. ‘Then. surely, true science will not curl the lip | of scorn becanse these results are obtained by what may be called “natural and simple” pro- cesses instead of by elaborate preparations and out-of-the-way methods. oee______ Missouri Oratory and Pugilism. From the New York Sun. Down in southwest Missouri four or five years ago a town had all arrangements made to whoop 'er up on the glorious Fourth. The citi- zens had contributed im a liberal spirit, the day was fine and the crowd large and enthusiastic, The orator of the day was a slim, cadaverous- looking man from St. Joe. To stand off and look him over you'd have bet your last dollar that an old gander could have run him all around a 10-acre field. There were some lofty spirits in town that day and one of them was dim Bucks, a mixture of patriotism, whisky high jump and rough and tumble. Jim size the orator up, determined to have some fun with him and took a seat directly in front of him as he stood on the platform to speak. The orator hadn't —- @ hundred words before Jim interrupted him. He did this twice more and was warned to goslow. He didn’t go much on dreams or warnings, however, and watched | for another opportunity. Pretty soon the ora- tor said: “And so this little band of pilgrim fathers set out with stout hearts and unwavering faith in search of —" “In search of skunks!” interrupted Jim. Tue orator made a long jump, lighted down on Jim Bucks, and inside ot two minutes he had him licked so poroneny that Mrs. Bucks would have | agores him oy for a splatter of pumpkin jelly which bad dropped from a din- ner basket. When satisfied thet his work was thoroughly done, the orator returned to the platform and continued in the same calm and unruffled tones: —liberty of speech and freedom of con- tora and they found them at Plymouth Rock.” He went on and delivered a really eloquent speech lasting nearly an hour, and he was just concluding when Jim Bucks crawled out from under a wagon half a mile away, where he had been laid, and queried of those around him: “Say! is that feller still speakin’ or figntin’? Durn me, but I didn’t s’pose oratory included jumpin’ Jim Bucks’ liver out of his body!” What She Preferred. Prom the Merchant Traveler. “I will play for you, Miss Smithers, said young Blankly, as he crossed over and opened the piano. “What would you like to hear?” “Well,” was the reply, ‘so long as you insist on playing we may peg have something ap- pagan Suppose you try “Lhe heart bowed wn by weight Ga of woe.’ einai a ae Mr. D.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS, This is conspicuously true of all classce of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It ts therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public in- terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. —:0:—_ By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIs- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. — 0: —_ Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans. @ NOTE THE RESULT: 2 —:0>—_ THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIKERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY KEGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It ts de- Mvered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and ha only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothingelse. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, 158 ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST UN THE CITY. ———y In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts toimpress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest im their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —_—o— © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the
