The civil service commission has sent out letters to the various postmasters throughout the country asking their opinions on several proposed changes in the regulations. The commission is anxious to know whether the present age limitation, sixteen for the mini- mum, does not bring upon the register of eligibles too large a number of boys. It is thought by the commission that the mini- mum age should be raised to eighteen. The answers that have been received so far would show that most postmasters are in favor of such ange. ‘The commission also asks in its circular letter whether or not messengers’ examinations should be abolished and the names for these places taken from the clerks’ register. A third ques- tion is with reference to the advisability of physical tests for government officials who come under the civil service law. The greatest variety of opinion has been expressed with reference to the last two questions, and it would be a difficult matter to find how the gen- eral sentiment lies. Itis remarkable that a num- ber of postmasters in their recommendations to the commission have taken precisely the op- posite ground to whet their predecessors did, Thus, for example, in the case of the postmas- ter at Chicago the recommendations that ne proposes are throughout exactly contradictory to thoes meade by his predecessors, NINE INDIANS AFTER SCALPS. And How It Wa: That S Senator Pettigrew Ate One of Them for Dinner. “It was not until I found the three whitemen sealped in the creek that I realized how close the hostile Indians were,” said Senator Petti- grew of South Dakota. “My camp was made about fifty miles from Bismarck—it was in 1873— which was then a settlement of forty or fifty buildings, maybe, most of them dance house: and saloons. A wickeder town it would be dit ficult to imagine. The northern Pacific road had its terminus there and the toughs and bad characters from all the country round natur- ally congregated at the point from which trans- continental freight was shipped down the Mis- sour, However, I wasn't speaking of terri- torial civilization, but of the savages, of whom I spied nine while out hunting on this occasion in the breast-high grass of a valley. I was shooting for the pot. and just happened to look toward the southwest horizon when I was in- terested to observe the number of Sioux I men- tion stealing along in single file around the bottom slope of a hill about amile away. They were coming in my direction and, inasmuch as the red men were fiercely on the war path against all whites at that time, my first thought was to make for the camp, for I did not desire to figure without a skull covering, like the three unfortunates to whom the attention of myself and my companion had been called in the water way, SAFE IN CAMP. I managed to reach camp in time by a fran- tie race and found there only the cook, who had already seen the Indians approaching and had got ready all the guns belonging to the party. There were eight Winchester rifles, each carrying a magazine of bullets, beside other arms. and, inasmuch as both the cook aud myselt were first-rate shots, we felt confi- dent of being abie to ily dispose of nine Sioux before they could even do so much as get within their own gun-shot range. But we had one great anxiety, namely, for the seven other members of the expedition, who had gone ont inanother direction with only one shot gun among them. After we had louded the few pistols that had not been prepared we bent our | attention upon the enemy. I asked the cook to hand me a field glass, so that I might inspect the foe more closely, You know, in that part of the world the atmosphere bas this peculi- arity—that objects seen at a distance are very much distorted to the view ofttimes. For in- stance, a dog afar will seem as big as an ele- , and other things will appear in various | transmogrified. Thus you will not be so much surprised when I tell you that upon look- | ing through the glass I beheld nearing us in single file nothing more or less formidable than nine antelopes. We had one of them for din- ner that evening.” UNDER MOUNTAINS OF SNOW. Trains and Telegraph Poles on the Central Pacific Buried Out of Sight. Senator Stanford has received a long dispatch from the general superintendent of the Central Pacific railroad at San Francisco giving an ac- count of the terrific snow blockade in the Sierra vada mountains, The dispatch says that on each side of the mountain the snowis piled up till it is from three to four fect higher than the cabs of the locomotives on each side of the track and push plows and plungers are of no service whatever, as they cannot throw the snow out of the channel, The steps have had to be taken off the cars to prevent them from dragging in the ice and the snow is so deep that the sides of the curs are pushing against the high banks. A very heavy snow and wind storm has pre- vailed in eastern Nevada and Utah and two engineers and three firemen were killed by engines becoming derailed by the wind. Sev- eral trains have left Ogden for the have been derailed after going a short distance | by the ice on the tracks. The tel from 10 to feet, although the tops of the | polesstand 22 feet above the ground. Heavy jand and snow slides have occurred at Delta and north of Dunsmire. To illustrate the nature of the storm the dispatch suys that at a point about a mile north of Upper Soda Springs a snow #lide came down the mountain, dammed up the river so that its bed was dry for half an hour below the dam. A severe storm set in again yesterday aud the superintendent ex- pressed grave fears that the worst is yet to come. Another dispatch from Vice President Crocker of the Central Pacific says that he has been blockaded in the snow ten days and has just reached Sun Francisco. Twenty-five hundred extra men have been employed to combat with the elements and great difticulty is experienced in provisioning them, as all supplies have to be carried by means of a snow shoe service and at an enormous expense. In places on the line of the Central Pacific the snow yesterday was from 150 to 200 feet deep on the tops of the snow sheds, In many places the trains are covered out of sight and no com- munication can be had except on snow shoes, = DRINKS WITH MEALS. The Charge Against Chas. H. Weser of Violating the Sunday Liquor Law. Mr. Harry E. Davis appeared in the Police Court yesterday and argued the case of Chas. id. Weser, who was charged with violating the sunday liquor law, Mr. Davis referred to the decision of Judge Montgomery in a similar case and said that the District Commissioners generally accepted that decision as law, Judge Miller, asked if the Commissioners ac- cepted that decision as law, why they did not aph wires at Cascade are buried | costia tents of GEN, SHIELDS’ SWORDS. They Have Been Purchased and Will be Shown In the War Department. Secretary Proctor has reached a decision in the matter of the purchase of the swords of the late Gen. George H. Shields, for which $10,000 were appropriated by the last Congress. The difficulty in the case, as was pointed out in Tux Star some weeks ago, Jay in the fact that the appropriation act con- tains a clause stipulating that the Secretary of War should pay the ‘actual cost” of the two swords, while, through a curious chain of cir- cumstances, all evidence of the original value of the weapons has been lost. After making a thorough investigation of the case and con- sulting several times with Congressman Man- sur, who represents Mrs. Shields, the Secretary decided that the only course left was to pay the entire amount, #10,000. The swords, which are now in the custody of the treasurer of the United States, will be placed on exhibition in the War department building. The Secretary has concluded to have the sword of Gen. Kil- patrick, which was recently presented the de- partment by his widow, placed in glass case in the corridor near his door, so that visitors to the building may be able to see it without difficulty. The Shields swords will probebly be disposed of in the same w: Classical Music in Washington, Lovers of classical music will have an oppor- tunity to enjoy some of ita best examples this evening at the hall of Messrs. Metz- erott & Co. Itisthe purpose of Mr. Ernest Markees to give, in conjunction with Mra, Naumann, alto, and Mr. Rakeman, violinist, a concert the program of which is not only strictly classical, but chronologically arranged as well, It attempts to cover the period from Bach to Brahms and includes works by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. Many of the pieces will be heard for the first time in this city. Among the more familiar numbers is the great Beethoven sonata in D minor, op. 31. The concert is in no sense a commercial ven- ture, but given by the three artists with the view of awakening and fostering in this city a more universal love for the works of the musi- cal masters. Surely such a purpose deserves encouragement. Admission is free. but upon invitation only. Mr. Markees isa pupil of Ru- dorff and a graduate of the royal high school for music in Berlin. For many years he was the musical instructor of the children of Joachim, the famous violinist—in itself a high recomendation, Mr. Rakeman 1s too well and favorably known here to require an_introduc- tion to a Washington audience. Mrs, Nau- mann has a singularly rich alto and sings with a musical intelligence not often exhibited on the concert stage. pe Good Templars Entertainment. D. P.

Indeed, the opinion is hazarded that it is without au equal in thig respect any where in the world, These aver- ments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the aver- age daily circulation of the paper during the Year 1559, published in Tae Sram on the 18ta of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: ” 1. The Star bas three times the circu- lation of any other paper in Washing= ton! ‘2 The Star's circulation in Washing« ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!: % Dhe Star bas a larger and Mer circulation in the city where printed, tm preportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation ef any twoe-cent afternoon paper in the United States tit! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-88, 1SS3. ISG, ISS7. INSH, ISSO, -20,456 23,358 25,470 26,356 27,541 22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 25,549 23,594 26,009 27,490 34,768 -22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,85: “22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 24,570 26,363 29,650 24,559 25,521 25,593 24,905 25,324 25,478 24,807 25,946 30,329 25,697 25,814 31,053 26,166 26,752 31,653 Av ge. 22,123 23,682 25,454 27,082 30,080 Increase ....... 1,559 1,503 1,595 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than j 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation im the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 925; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- seribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the salee over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circulas tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tae Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, | to which no other daily journal now | published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. | It isa well established fuct, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the ! growth of Tux Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PRINTED Of 1885-86-87-88-89, 1886, 1887. 1885, 3,200 3,615 4,076 3,064 3,517 3,924 3,906 4,668 4,603 4,355 5,475 4,986 4,197 5,395 5,171 3,938 4,522 4,606 3,235 3,38t 3,915 2,882 3,170 3,508 4,208 4,517 4,904 4,879 5,313 5,412 4,250 5,038 4,689 TOTAL 41,499 45,910 54,048 54,901 65,523 But it is not alone in numbers that the grea} increase of advertising ie shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889as compared with that occupied ia 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise- ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779columné for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns ia BEGERRERRE GLY in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in its patron- age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high charactor of its circulation, Tux Sran’s advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, ‘and to edd, finally, that every statement herein made can be abundantly verified.
