SENATOR EVARTS SAYS HE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SPEECHES—COUNT ARCO VALLEY AND HIB HOUNDS—THE QUESTION OF SOCIAL PRECEDENCE IN THE WHITE HOUSE RECEIVING LINE, Senator Evarts, who visited Europe during the summer in order to have his eyes treated by « foreign specialist, is feeling greatly improved. His general health is excellent, the lines of his intellectual countenance have not in recent years looked fresher, and his piercing eyes seem to possess all the fire of the mental activity of former days, In conversing in his usual happy mood with some friends a remark was made concerning his summer experience in the hands of the oculist, and an inquiry was made as to the pre ent condition of his vision. The venerable Senator from the Empire state replied: “Iam feeling greatly improve. While my sight is not as keen as it used to be it is in good condi- tion and answers every practical purpose of a eon of my age, but the chief inconvenience Etat my doctors tell me that I must not read, and I must not write, and i mus: give up think ing, so I will be competicd to turn to making speeches in the Senate.” COUNT ARCO VALLEY. Count Arco Valley, the tall and arrowy Ger- man minister, is once more in Washington and will contribute his atiractive presence and showy court dress to the gorgeousness of state teremonials during the oficial season now at hand. The count created a sensation among the fashionable men and women officials and bumbier pedestrians of all grades moving along Penusylvania avenue today. His tall form was clad in light pants and arich blue overcoat, His left cye sported a disc of glass, His right hand wielded a showy cane. In his left he heid one end of an artisically woven string of leather. At the other end, about five feet distant m the reur, the strap took a bifur- cated form, each branch terminatiug in a bright silver collar, which enveloped the frout end of the elongated dorsal portion of the anatomy of two imported German Dasch bounds. The towering vertical figure of the count and the horizontal length of the short- legged animals braced at his heels formed a striking contrast. THE BAUM-ROGERS NUPTIALS. ‘The marriage of Green D.

Baltimore carried off the honors in the game on Saturday with the local picked foot ball eleven. Both teams hada good many excel- lent foot ball players in their ranks, but Balti- more showed the best training and power of endurance, This is the point in which every team that has represeuted Washington on the foot ball field bus been weak in, They are not able to stand the strain. The two teams on Saturday lined up as follows: Baltimore. Position. Washington. Reese, Left end. Darlington. Musterd, Left tackle. Church.

Dashiell, Half-back, Haggerty. Poe, J., Ralt-back. ‘Taylor. Lewis, Full-back. Tobin, Lewis and J. Riggs were Princeton's repre- sentatives on the Baltimore team and Riggs’ good rushing and the long punts of Lewis went far to win the game for the visitors. ‘The first half was ciose and exciting. Several times the home team seemed on the point of scoring, but always just missed it. ‘Ihe score atthe end of the half was 14 to 0 in favor of the visitors, The second half was much easier tor Baltimore. Dashiell in this half played a magnificent game. ‘The final score was 36 to 0, Bie reson THE BASE BALL MUDDLE, Mr. Hewett and the Association Mag- nates—New York Injunction Case. An effort was made last week by a delega- tion of American association magnates, con- sisting of Sharsig and Whitaker of Philadel- phia and Powers of Rochester, to obtain promises of suilicient support from local base ball enthusiasts to warrant the organization here of an association team for the season of 1800, They came and went without the knowl- edge of Mr. Hewett. who, they asserted, was only bluffing when he said he was going to have # league club here next year. They met with some encouragement and they returned satisfied that the Senators would be in the as- sociation ranks next season, ‘MR. HEWETT IS VERY INDIGNANT over this visit, which, he claims, is a violation of the national agreement, and he reiterates, in the strongest manner, his announcement that he will be in the league. He may call the attention of the league directors to the lack of courtesy on the part of the association. He is not making any open movement just at present looking to the rehabilitation of the local club, preferring to wait untila decision is reached in New York in the injunction case, In fact, the outcome of this move will be THE SIGNAL FOR SEVERAL IMPORTANT CHANGES in personnel inthe ranks of the league and brotherhood. If it go against the players, as is the general opinion, there will be a stampede of men “to get out of the wet,” as a geutieman expressed it the other day. The Baltimore people will then be able to act in consumma- tion of the deal for the transfer of a part of her team to Washington, for the granting of the injunction will mean such an indorsement of the legality of the reserve clause in the con- tracts that nobody will fear to enter upon any new agreements.

The last day's session of the Association of American Anatomists was held Saturday in the University of Pennsylvania, with Prof. Joseph Leidy in the chair. The greater part of the session was consumed in the discussion of a re- port, which had been prepared by a committee composed of Dr. Leidy, chairman; Dr. Harri- son Allen, Dr. B, Wilder, Dr. T. B. Stowell and Dr. Frank Baker, the latter of this city. The report recommended that changes should be made in the use of some of the anatomical terms now used. It was deemed advisable by the committee that the cornua of the spinal column and the spinal nerve roots be known hereafter as “dor- sal” and ventral,” respect lear & instead of a posterior” and “anterior.” The terms pos- terior and anterior are used in human anatomy and sometimes employed in comparative anat- omy. It was further decided that the costifer- ous vertebrm, “thoracic,” be changed to ‘dor- sal;” “luppo campus minor” to “culeor;” “hip po-campus major” to “hippocampus; “pons varolli” to “pons;” ‘insula Keilii” to “insula,” and “pia mater” and “dura mater” to “dura.” ‘The report provoked considerable discussion among the members, many of whom cousid- ered the changes too sweeping and tending to confuse those engaged in the study of anatomy, Neverthclees the changes were adopted with- out dissent. HUNTING HER” BOY HUSBAN The Unpleasant Matrimonial Experi- ence of a Pretty baltimore Girl, From the New York Sun, Sunday, Miss Annie Webster, the pretty eighteen- year-old daughter of a Baltimore blacksmith, was married in Baltimore in July last to Henry T. Wellington, the eighteen-year-o!d son of Henry Wellington, a wealthy lamp manufac- turer of 449 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn. Young Wellington went to Baltimore last summer to look after a business enterprise near that city in which his father was interested. He met Miss Webster at a party, and within two weeks they were secretly married. Tothe minister Wellington gave his age as twenty-two, For some time after the ceremony the bride con- tinued to live with her parents, her boy husband having returned to Brooklyn. In October sho went to the latter city at his request, und went to live in the family of Detective Charles Cham- bers at 22 De Bevoise place. Mr. Chambers refused to take the girl in as a boarder until she had exhibited her marriage certificate. Wellington continued to live in his Putnam avenue home, but he visited his wife three or four times a week. He did not pay his wife's board, but on Wednesday last he told Mrs. Chambers he would return on Friday, settle all outstanding accounts and take his wife to a flat which he was fitting up for housckceping. He did not keep his promise and on Monday last Mrs, Wellington went to the Putnam ave- nue house to make inquiry about him, All the information she could get was that Harry, who, his relative said, was only seventeen years old and altogether too young to marry, ad gone to Ohio to resume his college studies, which had been interrupted when he made his trip to Baltimore last summer. The bride has now consulted a lawyer, but what measures will be taken in her behalf has not yet been decided on. If possible she will secure some employment in Lrooklyn, as she does not want to return to Baltimore, ee Rich Japanese Merchants. New York Letter to Richmond Times. There are in New York quite a number of rich and influential Japanese merchants, Some of them have been in this country for quite a number of years, and have adopted both the language and dress of the country. Fifteen years agoa Japanese club was started, but it had no settled abode until about three years ago, when the tunds of the exchequer war- ranted renting a good-sized dwelling house on west 22d street near 6th avenue. The decora- tions of the house are a mixture of Japanese and American styles, but there are some very fine specimens of Japanese rt and bric-a-brac. ‘The cuisine is in charge of a Japanese cook. The annual reception is always given on the emperor's birthday, November 3, and they always celebrate New Years day.

He Doesn’t Like Work. Washington Correspondence New York Tribune, Iam convinced that nobody in Washington despises work as does ex-Congressman Money of Mississippi. He was sitting in a little group of southerners not long ago when he said: “I hate work. I think that men who like work for its own sake are either freaks or myths. I don’t think any normal man works unless he has to. A man may be of a nervous temper- ament and so constituted that he is not happy uniess he is working; but a man of sound mind and even disposition works for the comforts and the luxuries which work will gain for him in his leisure hours.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Dome and Foret LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN. ING PAPEKS. This ts conspicuously true of all classee of news, but especially so In regard -te Local News and District Atairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER foree of LOCAL Rp | PORTERS and SPECIAL WEHITERS |than any other paper in Washington jever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MOLE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWKR- | FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY | OTHER WASH GTON PAPER. itis therefore able to print each day a full Teport of every transaction vf public tu Serest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. 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 aiso able to give | Mts 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 | im the way of news from Europe, Asiag | and Africa for the morning pupers. —0:—_ Equally does THE STAR lead all Its contemporarics in the publication of the | NEWS OF OUR OWN OCOUNTKY. 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 Youching every city, town and hamiet in the United States and Verri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of | consequence occurring during the day aoywhere between the Atiantic and Pa- cilic Oceans. —:0:— @@ NOTE THE RESULT: «<9 THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MOKE THAN BIVE TONES AS MANY KEGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- lvered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE CAY, ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it pripts all the news, and has 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, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPES£ IN THE CITY. —:e: —— In conclusion, the public should beat in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts ITs CIRCULA- its PRSS- to impress the public. TION IS SWORN TO; ROOM IS OPEN TO TH and its BOOKS MAY BE by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boust most are least able to stand. —o:— & The esteem in which THE STAB 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 five years named the average daily cir- culation of the paper was In 1885. Equally significant is the showing tn regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication ofits acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
