CITY AND DISTRICT ©F A recently published work on “The Artof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable information as to the value of a publi- sation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Tux Stax 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! HIGH SCHOOL REUNIONS. The Pioneer Class and the Class of ’84 Meet and Celebrate.

McQuade, state president of the Catholic Knights of America. was attended this year with unparailelled success, The work was ably seconded by the committee on donations, of which Dr. Cavanaugh is chairman, and it is not surprising that most satisfactory results come from the united efforts of those devoted knights, who not only contributed most gencr- ously themselves but labored with untiring euergy in soliciting contributions from others. For it is well known that the orphans of St. Joseph's asylum depend entirely on charity for their support. Nothing but the high promptings of faith could induce these gentie- Men to leave their places of business and thereby sacrifice their own interests to further those of the orphans. Such unselfish devoted- | kil ness elicits the admiration of all, for their time, labor, rest aud means are sacrificed in che following gentlemen of the committee on donations, who bave labored so zealously and so succewsfuily in soliciting and collecting. are Messrs.

BURCHELL, eee 1825 F stow, F.* We | therefore able to print each day a full Feport of every transaction of public tue 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. ——— Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the [WS 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 own office to the gencral network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamiet 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 Pas cific Oceans. NOTE THE RESULT: 3 303: THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN BIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- lvered regularly by carcful 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 prints 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 sehemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, aud nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A KIVAL, It is in fact worth more as a means of reache ing the public THA ALL THR OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER, Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. ——:0: —— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one signidicant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to Lnprest the public. ITS. CLRCULA= TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are leas® able to stand. —0:— > The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public ts conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below.
