The Extension of T Street Barred Until the Right of Way is Obtained. Some weeks ago A. L. Barber & Co. and George Truesdell made application to the Commissioners for the necessary permission to condemn land for the extension of T street northwest westward to Le Droit avenue, they agreeing to defray the expense of such condemnation. The matter was referred to Capt. Rossell, who today re- ported as follows: “T street, the extension of which to Le Droit avenue is requested, can never become a thor- oughfare from one section of the city to the other until the right of way can be obtained through Le Droit Park. The parties asking for this condemnation are some of them cer- tainly interested in Le Droit Park. The pro- posed extension of city streets made some years ago shows the extension of T street through Le Droit Park. If parties are willing to give the right of way through Le Droit Park it would seem eminently proper that this fur- ther extension of T street should aha demned, but until some arrangements can made to get through Le Droit Park I do not think it necessary to make this condemna- tion.” The Commissioners will act upon the matter in board session. es Finding and Selling Not Larceny. James D. Dudley, a colored messenger in the Treasury department, was acquitted in the Police Court yesterday of a charge of larceny of agold watch and chain, the property of James E. Underhill, a clerk in the same de- partment. The watch was left in the toilet room one day last August, and it was charged that the defendant dound it and sold it to another messenger, and the watch finally found its way to Fulton’s pawn shop, where it was recovered by Detective Raff. Mr. Campbell Carrington, for the defendant, argued that his client's action was not larceny, and cited au- thorities in support of his argument. Mr. Arms, for the government, argued for a co! viction, but the court sustained Mr. Carring- ton’s view of the law and dismissed the case. They Profited by the Transfer System. The conductors on one of the street railroad lines in this city were somewhat stirred up yesterday over an unexpected discovery. The management of the road discovered the fact that some of the conductors who issued trans- fers to the two main divisions were in the habit of adding to their income by exchanging transfers in such an ingenious way that their weekly earnings amounted to about ¢3 more than those of their more scrupulous brethren of the punch and register, The vacancies were speedily filled. eens Father Hagen’s Astronomical Lecture. The last of the university course of lectures was delivered last night in Gaston hall of Georgetown college by Rev. John G. Hagen, 8. J., director of the Georgetown observatory. His subject was ‘A night's work at the observa- tory.” Father Hagen did not attempt to pre- sent any new facts or startling phenomena, but gave a simple interesting account of the meth- ods used in determination of the variations of the variable stars. After a brief historical sketch the lecturer discussed the practical part of his subject at some length and illustrated it by a series of experiments with three gas globes. He showed that in all probability va- Tiable stars were really only double stars, The lecturer concluded with a brief account of the chemical changes that are constantly taking place in the celestial bodies, THE i COURTS.

The watch is a fine gold one, on the back of which is a double triangle engraved around Mr. Cor- dell’s initials, Under good of the order Mr. W. J.

Asie To Sir Ur.—Mrs. Thomas Gray, who has been very sick the past month, is able to sit up. —__ Still a Deadlock in Montana, Their spirit of obstinacy seems only to have been intensified. In the Montana senate yes- terday Senator Parberry, who has heretofore been the mouthpiece of the democrats, an- | nounced in effect that if the whole ninety days | of the session expired without any law-making neither he nor his colleagues would aid the re- publicans in passing measures in conjunction | with the republican house, Should the demo- | cratic senators join the republicans in passing bills Gov. Toole’ would either be compelled to | veto the bills and thus recognize the. legisla- ture or withhold his signature and allow bills | to become laws by limitations. American Political Methods in France. A plenary conference or grand caucus of the | republican party was held yesterday in Paris at | which 200 deputies were present. As the re- publicans of the left center and the oppor- taniste aggregate between them over 300, the caucus was not plenary as to members. but. was intended to be s0 a3 to authority to determine the policy of the republican party upon certain great questions of national importance, The caucus declared that the essential basis of the republican program was the maintenance of the military system that made every French- man a defender of the country, respect for the laws. the development of popular education aud the defense of the sovereignty of the peo- ple, which is the essence of the rey epuhtie, against the schemes and projects of all pretenders or other couspirators who propose the restoration of the monarchy or the empire or the rule of any dictator. 1t was agreed that there should be monthly reunions of the deputies of the party to consider from the party point of view afl questions pending in the chamber of depu- ties and to decide party action in regard to same. This is an iitiation of regular party —-— and caucus system upon the Amer- Fangle—‘T see that ex-President Cleveland bas become a zeae teur, thatso? I.

From the New York Sun. ‘Nobody has tried more different kinds of advertising than we have,” said Mr. Chambers of the firm of Rogers, Peet & Co. a few days ago, “‘or tried the different kinds more thor- oughly, but we have sottled down now to regu- lar newspaper advertising and betieve that, for ® permanent business, that alone pays. We were the first to use the sails of vessels in the harbor as an advertising medium. Then we got up the ‘alphabet puzzle’ and gave away half a million puzzles while the craze lasted. Afterward we invented the Waterbury watch idea, We had to do something because three of our principal compétitors had failed and their stocks were being sold for next to noth- ing by assignees, so we decided to give a Waterbury watch with bet twelve dollars’ worth of goods purchased. 'e advertised the watches ‘wound and set.’ To wind them fast enough we had to rig up a little machine worked like a sewing machine that would do the winding and ear several boys at work winding etting them. Before we quit we had given away 40,000 of the watches, “But nothing ever pays us like the ordinary newspaper advertising. The fact is, there has come tobe aclass of advertisement readers, just as there is of news readers, Theyread the advertisements every day, and, of course, the man who wants to attract them has bef ale up an advertisement that will do it. The standing advertisements in the paper, ‘Go s So-and-So’s for clothing’ or ‘Go to This-and- ‘That's for shoes’ has passed, just as the day for painting signs on rocks and fences or on the sails of boats has passed. You must have something interesting and fresh every day in the advertisement and it will be read. We have proof of this all the time in our business, for an advertisement of any certain thing is sure to bring throngs of people into the stores inquiring for it next day. By the number of such inquiries we rate the success or failure of an advertisement. Ican guarantee to bring o thousand people to our stores any day by the insertion of an advertisement of some spe- cialty, “We were the first firm to introduce the use of outline cuts in newspapers. An Englishman who has done caricaturing on the other side, off-hand sketches as a part of the entertainment of a show of some sort, and had come to this country, first brought the matter to our atten tion, and we tried a few of the cuts as an expe- riment. They succeeded so well that we made them a regular feature, After a while the papers themselves caught on to the outline idea, and now that is almost the only style of podale 2 974 illustration used. A while ago we concluded to try the experiment of dropping the cute, They are expensive, because, besides the cost of them, the papers charge double rates for the space they occupy. It has been poor economy, however. The cuts were worth much more they cost as an advertisement, and we shall go back to them. “Another thing about advertising of late years is the gradual increase in the truthful- ness of it. People are learning that it doesn’t pay to lie in an advertisement any better than it does anywhere else. The theory that ‘a sucker’s born every minute and he's just as likely to come in here as anywhere else’ won't do for a permanent thing. I think that there has been # noticeable improvement in this re- spect lately, and that business men are rapidly learning that honesty isthe best policy in an advertisement as well as outside of it. “A curious thing is the difference there is between advertising for women and for men. For a man an advertisement must be short and to the point. It ought to treat of butone sub- ject and to be written as tersely as possible. len read advertisements on the jump; they never deliberately sit down to go through the advertisements ina paper. For the women, on the contrary, you can put inf as much detail as you please; once a woman is attracted to an advertisement she will read it all through, no matter how long it is or how fine the type is. Then there is no use putting an advertisement for aman ina Sunday paper. If you make it big enought to be seen in one of those enor- mous sheets it will be too long to be read by a man. An ordinary advertisement such as would attract him ina week-day paper 1s buried in the Sunday editions.” ————e+. ‘The Pittsburg Backers to be Sued.

A Drunken New York Judge Arrested. On the nineteenth precinct police station blotter in'New York yesterday appeared the following entry: ‘Robert A. Van Wick, judge, forty-two years old, arrested for drunken and | disorderly conduct at 4 o'clock this morning.” ‘The prisoner, who was elected a judge of the city court on the Tammany ticket last Novem- ber, was locked up in the 30th street station house and then taken to the Jefferson market | police court and into Justice White's private room. Judge Van Wick attended the French ball at the Metropolitan Gabe house Tuesday evening.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without en equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed im the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed | from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tae Stam on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has 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 te. gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im preportion to reading and purchas- img population, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4, The Siar has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States !1!! 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. 1886. 1887. ISSS, ISSS, 20,456 23,388 25,470 26,386 27,541 22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 25,349 25,594 26,009 27,490 34,766 22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,853 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 23,000 24,657 26,466 86,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,454 27,082 30,080 lncrease . + 1,559 1,803 1,599 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 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 in the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923, 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- scribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), 60 that its whole circula- tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue 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 com: ity, 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 is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad~ verse claims and pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PRINTED IX 1887. 3,613 3,547 4,669 3,478 5,395 4,532 3,380 3,170 4,517 5,313 5,638 (5,083 ae eee Semmes gam Toral 41,499 45,910 54,0385 54,501 65,523 BEGRTEREGEEGE a LT | i EeEaHES HSGGRRERLEHE space required for advertisements during the year 1889s compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertises in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such as cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in ite patron- age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Taz Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herein made can be abundantly verifed.
