THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY, MARCH ) CITY AND DISTRICT. & A recently published work on “The Artof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable information as to the value of a publi- cation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Tue Star 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! A RECONSTRUCTED CHURCH. The Members of Hamline Take Posses- @ ston of Their Improved Structure. Yesterday was a great day in the history of Hamline M.E. church. For some months past the main andience room of that edifice has been closed and yesterday morning it was again Opened for public worship. In the meantime @ large force of workmen had been busily en- gaged in adding to 1ts size, comfort and artistic appearance. On the lower floor there had also been additions and improvements made, but the more striking changes had been made up- stairs, The principal feature is the magnificert Pipe organ, situated in the rear of the pulpit, constructed from specifications drawn by Prof. Jarvis Butler. The organ fills the entire width— 19 feet and almost the entire height—of a grace- ful archway. Its depth—16 feet—is within a recess. The instrument has three manuals, 28 stops and 1,250 pipes. The front pipes are handsomely decorated in gold and colors, so as to harmonize with the fresco work which adorns the walls and ceiling of the church, Beats have been placed in what was once the ehoir gallery; the west ends of the two side alleries have stairways leading to the main , Bee and the seating capacity of the charch has been largely increased. The floor has been newly carpeted and everything necessary to the comfort of preacher and congregation lias been done. In the new portion of the structure ad- ditional class rooms have been provided and a very nice apartment has been placed at the dis- —_- the pastor, Rey. H. R. Naylor, D.D., for 8 study. There was scarcely a foot of unoccupied standing room in the church yesterday morn- ing when Bishop Merrill announced his text; it was the greatest crowd that ever got inside the walls of Hamline. After the sermon was over subscriptions were taken up to aid in pay- ing off the indebtedness incurred in making the improvements and the sum of $5,000 was raised without any apparent exertion. At the evening service the sermon was by the Rev. E.S. Todd of Grace M.E. church, Balti- more. Bishop Hurst was to have occupied the pulpit, but the sudden decease of Mrs. Hurst PROMOTED AT LAST. An ae ES ae Naty. The announcement iu Tue Star the other day that Assistant Engineer R. 8. Griffin of the navy had passed his physical examination for promotion to the grade of passed assistant engineer caused considerable atusement among naval officers who have kept informed of the case. Mr. Griffin is a slight man, but endowed with an unusual amount of brains, and his services in the bureau of steam engineering for the past year or so have been invaluable. It became necessary for him to appear before the naval examining board in Philadelphia about a fortnight before Christmas for exam- ination as to his physical fituess for promotion, after the fashion established for many years back. He journeyed over apparently in the best of health and weil primed for the mental ‘tof the examination which was to follow. After he had been tapped on the chest a couple of times and put through a few of the regulation formula of such a process he was astounded by the statement that the board could not pass him as qualified to to sea, this being the standard on which the examination of candi- dates for promotion is conducted. The trouble, they said, was Iung disease, a complaint of which the officer had never bad the slightest suspicion. BOUND IN BE 'Y PARTICULAR, Bewildered and half frightened, he hastened home, and about the first thing he did was to go to one of the best pulmonary specialists in this city, and concealing his identity from him, requested him to make a thorough examination is lungs. The result of this examination was a certificate to the effect that the person examined was sound im every particular. He then went toa naval surgeon to whom he was known and the same result followed. Armed with these documents he applied to the Secre- tary for a new examination by some other board. but it was finally decided that he had better go back to the Philadelphia board. This time, however, the board had their backs up over some statements of the case that had crept into the newspapers and refused to reconsider their finding. A peculiar feature of the case was thatin the first examination one of the reasons for rejection was “recent rapid emacia- tion,” based on the reportjof the board which had examined Mr. Griffin six years before These records showed that he had gained six pounds in the meantime. But the matter was not allowed to rest here, The Secretary was shown the two certificates, and he at once ordered the officer before the m: dical board sitting in this city, which passed him without question last Monday. He has now goue to Pliladeiphia for the mental exam- ination, There are many cases on record in the de- on Friday evening made that impossible. When Dr, Todd concluded his sermon additional sub- striptions were solicited to meet certain ex- ses not provided for by the morning's col- lection and the necessary sum—#600—was se- cured in a very brief period. A special musical program was rendered bre reinforced choir under the leadership of . W. H. Pope. Mr. Frank Calhoun was the organist and he showed the capabilities of the new instrument ina highly satisfactory mau- ner. During the week services will be conducted every evening by former pastors of the church. Tonight at 7:30 there will be preaching by Rev. L. 'Y. Widerman; the other evenings will be occupied. in the order named, by Rev. G. G. Baker. Rev. R. W. Black, Rev. W. IL. Me- Kenny and Kev. 8. M. Hartsock.. On Sunday morning the Rev. J. A. Price, D.D., Dr. Nay- lor's immediate predecessor, will preach, and the evening services will be in charge of Rev. J. McKendree Reiley, D.D., presiding elder of the District. ———— EXCITED EMPLOYES. The Lunch Basket Question at the Gov- ernment Printing Office. There was more profanity—expressed and Unexpressed, male and female—at the govern- ment printing office last Thursday morning than the oldest employe in that establishment ever heard in the course of a life-long experience among eloquent followers of Guttenberg and Caxton. Capt. Hinds is responsible for it. Capt. Hinds is the superintendent of the build- ing. It seems that for some time past vendors of milk and fruit and pies have been in the habit of entering the office just previous to 1 o'clock p-m. for the purpose of selling lunch material to the hurgry toilers, A few days ago an order Was issued putting a stop to this practice. To this the vendors made objection, saying that & great many of the employes took with them when they went to work capacious lunch bas- kets, in which was lunch enough to satisfy the appetites of dozen people. ‘The surplus was reguiarly retailed for cash. Here was discrim- ination, so Chief Clerk Collins told Capt. Hinds that he must instruct the waich- men to shut off the entrance of ele- hantine Iunch baskets and young trunks. he captain issued an order requiring the watchman to take the lunch basket or box fromeach employe carrying one. On Thurs- day morning about 1,500 people started out for the printing office, supplied as usual with some- thing to aid them in whiling away the diner hour. When they reached the office the watch- men at the various entrances relieved them of their respective lunches, and then a great wail and a great oath went up. Protests were unavailing and even force (which was tried in at least one instance) was of no effect. When the whistle sounded at 8 a.m. tacked up people, hungry in anticipation, made emphatic vocal resistance to what was regarded as the refinement of official tyranny. By and by it was discovered that some one had blundered, and then the be- reaved ones went down to the doors and re- coved their own. Some of the incidents were very funny, and some of those who had little bottles in their baskets were extremely appre- hensive. Everything was safe, however, for the watchmen’s instructions were to keep the baskets, not to eat and drink their contents, An Interstate Commerce Decision. In what is known as the car load cases the interstate commerce commission had received complaints from more than 4,000 firms of grocers charging against the trunk lines discrimination im rates for carrying the same kind of goods the same distance. The commission on Satur- day, in a decision by Commissioner Schoon- maker, held thatacarrier had aright to fix rates for different classes of freight, and a dif- ference in rates can be charged for car load and less than car load quantities, but carriers cannot impose charges with exclusive regard for their own interests. The public interests aretobe subordinated. The commission de- clares that in the official freight classifications groceries are unjustly claseified, and a revision of,the rates is ordered, The New Pastors in Charge. In anumber of the Methodist churches yes- terday the new pastors appointed by the recent conference occupied their pulpits for the first time. Rev. C. W. Baldwin, at Wesley chapel; Rev. A. E. Gibson, at Waugh church; Rev. Joel Brown, at Union chapel, and Kev. Henry Baker, Twelfth Street church southeast, preached to attentive audiences and inaugurated the work in their new fields of labo: —— Detecting Oleo and Cotton Seed Oil. In a paper read before the Washington chem- feal society last week Dr. Thoa Taylor, the microscopist of the Department of Agriculture, told how to detect oleo in butter and cotton seed oil in lard. and the new methods advo- eated have attracted considerable attention among chemists. “To detect oleo in butter,” he said, “dissolve in 20 ¢.c. of petroleum Denzine 140 grains of « mixture ds oleo und butter. Heat slightly to secure a perfect solu- ‘tion of the fats. Caseine and animal tissues may be removed by filtering the liquid while warm. Filla test tube with the filtered solu- tion and place in ice water. Infrom five to twenty minutes the oleo fat will separate from the butter fat and fall,to the bottom of the tube, being insoluble in cold benziue, while the butter fat remains in solution in the cold benzine.

It is said that there is a case to be found in the files of a medical officer who was found unfit for promotion because of a deficiency in knowledge of obstetrics, THE CHEROKEE STRIP. The Settlers Moving Off in Obedience to the President’s Proclamation. Chief J.B. Mayes, head of the Cherokee nation, is in Washington and expresses a vigor- ous opinion of the situation on the strip. He came to the capital to oppose the taking of the Cherokee land for white men and says the nation will receive nothing for their possessions. They will lose 200,000 a year, which they had received from the cattlemen for grazing, and @250,000 had been laid out in fences and this they will lose. The Cherokees had been offered $1.25 an acre for it, but they had refused that, for they had been offered $5 an acre for it, In February Chief Mayes sent a letter to the President complaining bitterly of the treatment shown his people and protesting in the name of justice and humanity against their being despoiled of their lands. A dispatch from Guthrie says that in that vicinity the President's proclamation ordering all settlers on the Cherokee strip to vacate is already having the desired effect. This, to- gether with the orders received by Gen. Mer- ritt at Fort Leavenworth to use troops if neces- sary to eject the boomers, has already caused considerable of an exodus from the forbidden territory. All day yesterday the traine were loaded down with boomers lerving the strip, THE SCENE ON THE GROUND, A dispatch from Willow Springs, LT., says: Neither the President's proclamation nor the order for troops to oust the boomers has yet been received there. Consequently the boom- ers are arriving. Some are returning to Kan- sas and Oklahoma, but for every one that leaves there are two to take his place. Adispatch from Arkansas City says: Within the first forty-eight hours of the invasion at least 15,000 persons have invaded the Cherokee strip from different points along the border. Nearly every quarter section of land for 18 miles south of this city is at present staked off, and many of them are occupied by squatters. At 4 o'clock Saturday the news that the Presi- dent had issued a proclamation ordering all settlers off the strip was received. Some coun- seled a prompt compliance with the President's order, but others insisted that it was a wise pian te hold their claims until expelled by the troops, and then, as soon as the bluecoxts were out of sight, to return and begin farming ope- rations, Should the soldiers attempt to remove the settlers there will be no organized resistance, but it will take an army of 3,000 men to keep them from settling back on the strip. One perplexing trouble the soldiers will labor under will be to distinguish betweeu howe seekers on the strip and home seckersin Oklahoma, Movers have the right to pass through the strip ou their way to Oklahoma. Ask any man in the strip where he is going and his answer in- variably is “Oklahoma,” though it is kuown that 90 per cent of them are hunting claims in the strip. The cattlemen are completely routed, their fences cut, grass burned, cattle stampeded and their range destroved for the near future at least. They wili be compelled to get their cattle together as well as possible and hunt other pastures, Prof. Coopeck of the Indian children’s schooi telegraphed last evening for troops to expel the boomers from Indian school lands, as many, not knowing its boundary, located therein, Prairie fires could be seen all over the strip last night. No casualties have oc- curred so tar as known, ‘An unusual scene accompanying the rush Friday was the presence among the boomers of two women, armed in «cowboy style, with knupsacks on their backs, Wiuchesters over their shoulders and a brace of revolvers in their belts. They were mounted on Mexican mies. They were May Cleveland and Hattie Yagouer, from Guthrie, und secured claims uear Ponca, —— ae ANACOSTIA, Foxenats.—The fuueral services of Mrs. Sarah A.

In the carding rooms the girls are evenly divided between Scotch, English and Americans op one side and Irish on the other. The latter, preparing to do honor to their patron saint’s birthday, decorated both their machines and themselves with green ribbons and bows, e The other side ina spirit of mischief ap- Peared similarly decked out with orange and blue colors, This was Friday. The Irish girls were quite and said the other side in- fended to insult them and some. hurd words passed. This led to some unknown person all the green off the machines. An Irish girl charged an American maiden with being 0 culprit and slapped her. An English girl took the victim's part and knocked the Irish girl down. There was a free fight for a little time before the men could arate the combatants. Both sides then went ona strike until opponents promised to give up their emblems. The Irish refused and the big mill will stay closed until St. Patrick's day is over, i —————+e+-_____ NEW ORLEANS FREE OF WATER.

Saturday an oyster boat at York, a few miles outside the New Haven breakwater, picked up a foot ball flouting in the water. The curious feature of the find is the fact that the ball was one used in the Yale-Harvard game of 1887, the score of the game, 17 to8, being painted on the ball.

The Star has three times the circu- javion 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 im the city added te- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase ing population, than any other news- Paper im the world!!! 4, The Siar bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation ef Quy (wo-cent afternoon paper im the mited States !!I! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, Attention is invited to the figure@ollowing: ‘PAILT CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87 88-88, 1SS3. 1886. 1887, ISS, 1589, JAX...20,456 23,388 25,470 26,356 27,541 FEs...22,029 24,321 20,209 27,161 29,200 Ma4k...25,549 23,594 26,009 27,490 34,766 APk...22,572 24,727 23,575 27,166 29,852 MaY. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 JUNE..21,933 23,802 25,116 27,453 30,173 SULY..21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 29,650 AUG...21,445 22,364 24.559 25,521 25,3503 SET. 21,033 22,302 24,905 25,324 25,478 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,507 25,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,651 25,697 25.514 31,053 DEC...23,000 24,657 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 23,484 27,082 30,090 lucrease 1,559 1,503 1,595 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are went out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban piaces, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation an the city proper the PHENOMENAL PkO- PORTION of 9234 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 « very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not housebolders), so that its whole circule | tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stax 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 cao 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 scek and know where to find THE LARGEST BETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Star'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 pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF KEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED Li Issé. 1887.

And this, it must be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc,, such as ococasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its patrua ose. In conclusion, it is only necessary to eay that, fn proportion to the extent and high charactet of ite circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to edd, finally, that every statemest bereis tmade can be abundantly verified THE CIB- CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARE
