For « married man the navy is not an alto- gether enjoyable profession,” said a young lieutenant in the service yesterday to a repre- sentative of Tur Stan. “The notion of leaving one’s wife « grass widow for three years out of every six is not a pleasant one—though, to tell the truth, some fellows seem to endure the forced absence with fortitude, disporting them- selves in foreign climes with a gaiety unsubdued by the pangs of torn domestic ties. But so long as you remain a bachelor no life that I know of is fo agreeable as ours. We have a large share of all the pleasures that are given humanity to partake of. The advantages of travel ail over the world are at our command. Of work ina way we bave comparatively little and We are not aifficted with anxiety as to the fu- ch as assan: ordinary psopie who toil for ubsisteuce, inasmuch as we are provided by Unele Sam with a guaranteed and steadily mereasing income for our Lives, until finally we are retired from active duty and permitted to spend the autumn of existence in gathering the fraits of siegunt leisure on haif pay.

We have our pick of the most charming young women to dance and flirt with, and the ouly wonder is that so many of us escape entangle- ments matrimonial for so long a time as we do. But who is it that carry off the rich girls? Why, the navy men, you bet. How- ever, the good times we have while on our voyages depend somewhat upon the sort of captain that is in command of ihe ship.” THE CAPTAIN'S PowER. “What does he have to do with it?” “A great deal. If he chooses he can throw a wet blanket over all the jol Fortu- nately, 4 disagreeable commander is u rare thing in the service. but I have known one such to ruin all the pleasure of the ward room mess for months together simply by rigidly enforc- ing the rules of discipline. For instance, on ene occasion he broke upa party which the officers of the ship were giving by ordering all | lights out when 10 p.m. arrived. Now, this is the literai regulation, but it is the custom on eceasions o: th» scrt for the captain. as a mat- ter of courtesy, to grant an extension of the time during which the lights may continue to burn. It was simply an arbitrary exercise of power and it resulted indirectly in his subse- quent dismissal irom the service, for the officers were his enemies from that time forward, and which are acouple of unusual acids. The fumes of the mixture have colored the doctor's beard and hair a bright orange yellow, which i bee ening hirsute tinge, he says, around BLOWING UP A RAFT. | Then a can containing sixty pounds of em- mensite was placed under a small raft made up of about fifty heavy timbers lashed together. A steam launch towed the raft out about 560 feet from shore and anchored it, and then pro- ceeded some distance further, paying out be- hind it a couple of electric wires. Suddenly the word “fire” Was heard across the water, and there came a rumbling crash, followed by the upheaval of tons of water, in the midst of which fragments ot broken timbers flew skyward. After they had gone up a couple of hundred of feet they came down again, all torn and twisted outof shape. Hundreds of fish lay dead on the surface ofthe water. RENDING ABOVE WATER. ‘The next experiments consisted of testing the rending power of the emmensite above water, and three iron plates, a foot square and half an inch thick, were consecutively broken each by a cartridge of the terrible The explosives were arranged in three ditferont ways, so as to suow that the force of the shock was equal in all directions. In order to convince the spectators that the material was harmless in handling the inventor had his sou fire A BULLET THROUGH A CARTRIDGE of it, the effect being a mere breaking of the package as though it were no more than chalk. The broken cartridge was then exploded with tremendous effect. A cartridge of dynamite was treated in the same way and disappeared with a great explosion as soon as the bullet touched it. Four emmensite cartridges were planted in a can of gunpowder, which was ex- ploded, blowing the cartridges high in the air and setting fire to them. They burned briskly, but without exploding. A small yacht cannon was charged with gunpowder aud loaded with acan of ™ EMMENSITE AS A PROJECTILE. This was fired at an iron plate and smashed to Pieces without explosion. the same emmensite afterward being scraped together and ex- ploded. This was to show that it can be used as a charge for shells in powder guns with- out danger of premature explosion. GELBITE AS A CARTRIDGE. Gelbite, which is a brown paper saturated with emmensite, was then fired from a rifle as & cartridge load. The shot made almost no noise and practidally no smoke. There was a momentary light mist, which was instantly of rather a weak mind and sh6ws no signs of being vicious. The children have all recovered from the effects of the poison.

It is not only harmless to handle, but it is said to be a radical cure for malaria and catarrh when taken in regulated doses or snuffed up the nostrils.

MARRIED AGAINST HIS WILL. they revenged themselves by bringing charges on other grounds, which precipitated action on the part of 4 COURT OF NAVAL INQUIRY. “Under ordinary circumstances, however, the relations between the commander and his ofti- cers are of a character entirely agreeable. Of course the captain has his mess—in other words bis meals—in his private cabin, apart from the ward room officers, who mess to- gether. But the captain from invitations to the ward room asking the pleas- ure of the company of certain members of the ward room mess, and, reciprocally, the ward reom officers invite the captain very frequently toaseatat their board and a share in their grab. On such occasions, necessarily, the caj tain dining in the ward room si it the right hand of the executive officer, who presides. Invitations vent from the ship are usually written as coming from the captain and officers. If the captain docs not choose to join in the officers simply do the inviting. But it is a cold day for the boys if the commanding officer of the vessel chooses to be disagreeable.” POINTS ON NAVAL ETIQUETTE. “What is the etiquette incidental toa ship's Visiting a foreign port?” “Upon dropping anchor the ship runs up the flag of the country visited and fires a polite salute of twenty-one guns. if the town is the residence of a United States consul a message is sent ashore to convey to that official uotifica- tion of the vessel's arrival, with an invitation tocome «board at a certain hour. when, the message says, a boat will be in readiness at a certain place for the consul’s convenience. In cas a United States minister makes the place his headquarters message is sent to the effect that the captain of the ship will do himself the honor of calling upon the diplomatic personage atan hour mentioned. Invitations to the cap- tain and officers of the ship from citizens public and private follow, which are returned by re- ciprocal invitations to festivities on the vessel. ‘These festivities are chiefly dinner parties and mueing parties, the former beiug usually strictly “stag.” The dancing is very well man- | aged by shoving the guns out of the way for- ward and waxing the deck. In this way we go from port to port, received everywhere with the most flattering attentions.” PUTTING A BEAR IN COVENTRY. “Where meu have to live for so long together om terms of such close and enforced intimacy | oue would think that a disagreeable fellow would spoil everything.” “Such a man can undoubtedly do much to annoy bis fellow officers in the ward room; but fellows who are not good companions are rare im the service, and against them we always take certain very effective measures of a de- tensive nature.

ESS... oO RIE BU SINE THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pubv lic, in good faith and with confidence, as THE BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am 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 in the paper on each 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 Tax Stas 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- ten! 2. The Star’s circulation in Washing= ton is double that of aJl the other dally papers published in the city added to gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar has the largest regular aud permanent home circulation of any twe-cent afternoon paper im the United States !!!! 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 1885-86-87-88-9, 1SSS. 1886. 1557. 188s, 1869, JaN...20,4896 23,388 23,470 96,396 27,841 FEs...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 Man...25,549 25,504 26,009 27,490 34,766 Arn..:22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,852 MaY..22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 JONE..21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 JULY..21,406 23,186 24,570 26,363 29,650 22,019 23,651 25,697 25,814 31,053 Dec. 23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,484 27,082 30,000 Increase ...... + 1,559 1,583 1,598 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 an the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923; PER CENT, or AN AGGBE- 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, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguissly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circuls tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tur Stam 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 pure 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 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 PalD OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Taz Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny 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,—im the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBSR OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS YRINTED Bf 1887. 188s, 1889. 3,615 4,076 4,558 3,547 3,924 4,529 4,669 4,603 5,494 3.478 4,986 5,886 5,395 5,171 6,033 4,522 4,606 5,539 3,3SL 3,915 4,483 3,170 3,508 4,606 4,517 4,906 5,580 5,313 5,413 6,580 5,038 4,659 6,107 5,083 5,007 5,795 in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as cocasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say thet, im proportibn to the extent and high charactes of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia made can be abundantly verified THE CIB CULATION OF THE PAPEB I8 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AXD CIRCULATION BOOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND I7§ BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 43 INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMDNATION,
