THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. Cc. MONDAY, APRIL 2 1890, CITY AND DISTRICT. (& Tue Evenino Stan is everywhere recog- nized and admitted to be, in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work- shop, and the family circle. Pretty much everybody in the District reads it regularly, It is therefore much the best advertising medium in the city; and, in proportion to circulation, ils advertising rates are aiso much the cheapest. NEWS OF THE BALL FIELD. A Game Today—How the Different Ball Teams Are Getting Along. Once more the sun is shining and the fates are propitious for base bail games. The grounds may be somewhat soft for today’s con- tegt, but there will be a game there neverthe- Jess, Washington has always had a bad repu- tation as a damp city, as far as base ball 1s con- cerned, and the local management should not uegiect an effort that might tend to get the grounds in condition for play after a rain storm. This week there will be two visitations. The Jersey City team plays here today and tomor- row and the Worcesters on Wednesday, Thui day and Friday. After that the Senators will disappear tor six daysand we shall hear of them in other places, Worcester plays in Baltimore today, Hart- ford at Wilmmgtou and New Haven at Newark. There were but two games played on Satur- day and both of those were in Loston: Boston Brotherhood, 14; New York Brotherhood, 10; New York League, 3; Boston League, 1. Yes- terday all the American clubs played with the following results: At Louisville—Louisville, 4; Toledo, 3. At St. Louis—St. Louis, 14: Colum- bus, 1. At Gloucester, N.J.—Athletic, 5; Syra- cuse, 3. At Ridgewood—Brooklyn, 5; Koches- ter, 6 The attendances were:' Louisville, 7,857; St. Louis, 5,564; Gloucester, 1,500, and Lidgewood, 1,200. NOTES. Three games postponed already. ‘There is an open date, June 24,when the Jer- bey City game can be played. The Athletic, Louisville and Rochester teams are tied for first place inthe American and Hartford, Newark and Worcester in the At- Jantic. The rumor of a transfer of the Buffalo Brotherhood team to this city has been effect- ually killed by a dispatch from Puffalo saying that the backers of the team there would not entertain any such proposition as a transfer, Comparisons are the order of the day, and in view of the claims of the Players’ League that they are putting up the best game of bail- it might be interesting to note that in 36 scores made since the opening the league men made $24 bits and 147 errors, and in 38 scores the brotherhood made 410 hits and 187 errors. Providing for the extra two scores on the part of the piayers it would seem as though they were hitting the ball harder than the league batters, but are not putting up anything like the fielding game. Honors are about even, except that folks usually like to see batting. ‘The news comes from Pittsburg that the four games scheduled to be played there this week between the Pittsburg and Chicago league clubs are to be transferred to Chicago, and the supposition is immediately formed that the change is made in order to avoid any further coutliet of dates with the brotherhood. Both Spalding and Nimick are shrewd enough to see that unless something is done quickly the teams will be playing to empty benches. A dispatch in the Philadelphia /’ress from Pittsburg gives figures to show that in the five games played there already the brotherhood total attendance was 12,257 and the league, 2,074. As the iatter number is just about a good attendance for one game under ordinary conditions, it is a reason- able conclusivn that the Pittsburg league team is doomed. Brunell of the the brotherhood says that his orgamzation will make no move to meet this change of league schedule. John B. Day says that the change is merely an ordinary business transaction, adding, “it's a thing that occurs frequently, and, im this instance, the chances are largely in their favor for making more money im Chicago than in Pittsburg, and that isall there is to it.” In his opinion there will be no general change of the schedule, Rainey, the buffulo player who was hit on the head during Friday's game in that city, is seriously hurt. He is suffering from concus- sion of the brain and will not be able to play for a month. ‘The Keefe ball is a lively article. Ewing and other brotherhood men say it is too lively. ‘The mantacturers are to be asked to make it more “dead.” Its liveliness is supposed to be one of the reasons why the brotherhood outbatted the league. Manager Cudworth is looking for some new meu for the Worcester team. It is likely that Pitcher Burns, Shortstop Bradley and Right Fielder Staltz will be released unless they sho ¢ some rapid improvement. _ — will be ladies’ day at Atlantic ‘ark. There will be a game of base ball on Ana- Jostan Island Wednesday between the Johns Hopkins and the Columbia Athletics, Admis- sion, 25 cents, —— Civil Service Commissioners Explain. ‘The civil service commusioners and the sub- committee of the civil service investigating committee went over the printed report of the testimony Saturday. After a careful examma- tion the commussioners authorized the tollowing statement: “The civil service commissioners are of the opinion, after examining the evi- dence taken im the investigation of the civil service commission, that, aside from some errors which were unavoidable and the omis- sion of the portions of the testimony deemed by the subcommittee as irrelevant, the report is substantially accurate, and no fault is attrib- utable to the stenographers, the difficulties of reporting such a case being very great. They make this statement because their letter hus been misconstrued, and they desire to have it understood that they intended to cast no re- flections upon the o: stenographers tocom- mittees of the House. Sam Jones’ Historie Slip. Sam Jones preached three sermons yesterday ‘at Charlotte, N. C., to audiences of 6,000 at each meeting in the Tabernacle. In the afternoon, in asermon to men, 5,000 were present. The evangelist aroused much mdignation among the old citizens by denouncing the 20th of May celebration of the Mecklenburg declaration of independence as founded on a myth and nothing but « drunken frohe. The 20th of May isa legal holiday in North Carolina. At the ser- mon last night Sam Jones said that his charge in the afternoon that the Mecklenburg declara- tion of independence is a myth he had since learned was an egregiouserror. He apologized humbly for slandering a noble people and said those Philadelphia people had imposed on him in the matter, and when he “got back to Phila- delphia again he would stamp the feathers out of them for imposing on him about the Meck- leaburg declaration of independence.” = <oe- = A Squabbie Between Famous Preachers Nou-conformist London is agitated by the re- newal of an old quarrel between Rev. Dr. Par- ker, who once aspired to be Mr. Beecher’s suc- cessor in Brooklyn, and Rev. Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist minister. Dr. Parker bas grave fears for Mr. Spurgeon’s soul and ac- Suses him of driving young men into infidelity, distraction and despair by his uncompromising Preaching of the extreme doctrines of Calvin- m, and winds up his letter by warning Mr. Bpurgeon that he is surrounded by flatterers and exhorting him “‘to scatter his ecclesiastical barem.” Mr. Spurgeon is not in the habit of submitting quietly to this sort of thing and end is not yet. ———eee_____. Sheriff Davis Regarded as a Fool. ‘There is nothing new in regard to the defal- vation and disappearance of Under Sheriff Da- vis of Newark, N.J. Everybody in the city and sounty is still talking about him, and those who Suow him best have no term but that of “fool” to spply tohim. If the statements of public men be sincere Davis could at any time have raised $100,000 within a few hours to get him- self out of trouble. His wife and turee daugh- ters are crushed with grief because of the ex- posure. Under Sheriff Moe says that Davis Will return to Newark next week. Davis kept the booxs of the sheriff's office in his own way and the system would puzzle any ordinary dook keeper. It was this which enabled him to retain his position through the different ad- @Ministrations for nearly a quarter of a century. There will be no attempt to indict him and those who have suffered will not have him pun- ished. Two male and three female experts are Pegging away at his books and something defi- nite as to the amount of shortage will be known im a few days. Jake Kilrain writes from Richburg, Miss., that in less than one more month he will be free. He says he hax given up all hope of meeting Corbett again until Corbett’s head re- turns to its normal size. Saturday was the busiest the Norfolk truck- ers ever experienced in the month of April, and the outgoing steamers were heavily loaded with early cabbage, asparagus, onions, radishes, dc. Large quantities of strawberries were also shipped to Boston and New York, THE REVENUE MARINE. What Naval Officers Think of the Pro- posed Transfer to the Navy. It is generally expected that the bill now pending in the Senate providing for the trans- fer of the revenue marine service to the navy will become a law, but during the debate upon it, in which Senator Sherman has taken an opposing stand, naval officers are considerably worried as to its outcome, They are, as a rule, opposed to the move on the ground that the list of officers will become even more choked than it is at present, and they do not hesitate to express their disinclination to receiving the revenue marine officers into the fold as brethren, This attitude is not inspired by any personal antagonism toward the latter. but by wholly selfish motives. An officer speaking to a Sran reporter the other day on this subject said: ‘We have to wait long enough now before we get to any sort of rank, ahd it will be worse when the revenue marine is spliced on to us. Then, too, we did not enlist for the pu of boarding smugglers or chasing tariff skippers. There are a good many advantages to be gained by the other fellows, but a very few by us. The only possi- ble advantage that can come to us is that we | would have more actual service in piloting vessels in and out of harbors. There are but few harbors on this coast that { have ever ran into on my own responsibility. We do nat get any chance to find out the nature of the har- bors, for when we take a vessel into a port the commander always takes charge himself and this keeps the practical knowledge of the ranges and chunnels out of our sphere. If the other service was transferred it would probably lead to a wider diffusion of acquaintance with the harbors of the coast than now exists. But that is the only advantage that I can see before me. As for the revenue people they would get aretired list, which they ought to have, but which can be given to them by a direct legisla- tion instead of doing it in this way. I do not | deny that they deserve more than they have now, but they should not get it at our expense.” On the other hand there are some very high officers in the navy who are positive friends of the proposition. One of them, a chiet of a bu- reau, remarked: ‘This should be done as soon as possible. It will be combining two services that are really allied and which are neither as strong now as they would be when combined, ‘The introduction of the revenue service into the navy would give our officers something positive and important to do, instead of leaving them to simply study and make preparatio: for the future. There has never been any rea- son why the navy should tdo this revenue business. It isa naval serv: steaming and sailing, it requires a high kno} edge of seamanship and it is a valuable service | to the government. ‘Then, too, it would be much cheaper to combine the two than to keep them separate, and where there is something to be gained by it economy should be exercised.” It is undoubtedly true that all the opposi- tion on the part of the naval men comes from their fear that the move would prejudice their own opportunities for advancement and from an idea that the work that now falls to the lot of a revenue officer is in some way beneath their dignity. ae BALTIMORE BOMBARDED. A Good Deal of Damage Done by a Sun- day Hail Storm. Baltimore was visited yesterday afternoon between 3:40 and 4 o'clock by hail of a size and destructive power never before seen there. The hail was not like the usual snow-coated kind, but was plain, hard ice, frozen through and through and solid as a rock, It went through thick panes of glass as if they were tissue paper and the amount of damage done can only be figured when all the broken panes are counted. The loss will run into the thou- sands, The stones were like rocks, some ragged and some sharp on the edges. Hens’ eggs were nothing to them in size. Many of them were as large as a man’s fist and weighed four ounces, and as they came down they sounded like so many cannon balls falling. ‘The storm came from the west, was local in its character and swept to the east with a rattle like heavy musketry, frightening people out of their wits, making some of the superstitious ones think the day of judgment had come and hitting herd knocks on those who were out and driving them into places of shelter. Many who were riding abandoned their teams in the | streets and fled for shelter. All over the ci the damage was heavy. No glass mecting the full force of the hail was strong enough to re- sist. Charles street windows looked as if they had been on the field of battle, and in the houses on Mt. Vernon place the damage was considerable. tracks in places with many inches of mud. In the annex the rain, wind aad hail did even more severe damage than in the city. Walls wer2 swept down, houses unroofed and the amovat of glass smashed and other damage done was almost incalculable. The wind durin; the gale reached a velocity of thirty miles an hour. WASHINGTON HAD A NARROW ESCAPE from the storm, which itseems, did some pretty | fast traveling. It made its bow to the United States on the edge of Texas on the evening of | Friday, and after banging straight across the | country in a northeasterly direction finally stumbled against an area of high barometer that did not get out of the way quick enough, and the result was the terrific hail storm mentioned above. Luckily for Washington and unluckily for Baltimore, the collision took place in the vicinity of the latter city. Here there was a very black cloud, a driving wind and a good deal of rain, all in a short space of time, but no damage was done, for the storm did not find any “high” in front of it to quarrel with, ‘The weather will probably be fair and warm for some days, ae enn The Trick is Too Transparent. From the Baltimore Sun, The spoils element in the House of Repre- sentatives made a characteristic ussault on the civil service commission in the effort to cut off the appropriation for its maintenance. Thre enemies of the civil service system are afraid to come out squarely and advocate the repeal | of the law, but endeavor to secure this result indireetly by starving the commission. This is the secret, no doubt, of much Qf the criticism | and ridicule of individual commissioners, the idea being, of course, to make them unpopular before the country and thus incidentally to di: credit the system itself. The trick, however, is too transparent, and the testimony to the practical value of the civil service examinations 18 too strong and convincing i neents the hope on the part of the “practical politicians” of any backward step by Congress. co jo One Can Complain, From the Philadelphia Press. The enemies of civil service reform in the House have stood up and been counted, and! they are away short of constituting a majority. | If they are satistied with the bad eminence they | have thus attained, surely nobody else bus a right to complain. Burned by Sulphuric Acid. J. R, Davidson, professor of chemistry at Co- lumbia, $.C., and an assistant were engaged Saturday evening in removing a large glass cask of sulphuric acid from one section of room in the South Carolina University, Their burden fell from their hands and smashed, the fluid running in every direction. Prof. David- son attempted to run first. but slipped and fell into the acid. His entire left side trom eyes to feet were terribly burned. The assistant was also seriously injured. Davidson was taken to the hospital. It is not known whether his in- juries are fatal. —-— eee. The Randall Succession. James M. Beck, the tariff reform candidate in the third Pennsylvania district, having with- drawn it looked for a time like a walk-over for Senator McAleer. But the opposition to pro- tection, although without a leader, claim to have enough votes to defeat McAleer. ‘They are talking about nominating John E.

Stanley arrived in England Satur- day, after an absence of nearly three years. .A special vestibule train, carrying Lord Wolseley, Sir Francis de Winton, Consul General New, several lords, a dozen generals, a score of baro- nets and knights, fifty or sixty press men and lots of other people more or less notable, left London for Dover, there to welcome the Plorer as he set foot on British soil. There was a tremendous crowd at Dover, and when the special train arrived the pier was so densely packed that Stanley's friends and the reporters had to fight their way through. It was a case of the survival of the fittest and @ good many failed to reach the goal. Even the mayor of Dover, resplendent in his robes and chains of office, was buffeted about in an unseemly fashion and nearly found a watery grave in his own harbor. Stanley arrived shortly before 4 o'clock and the glecious weather should have put him in good spirits. But he was grave and taciturn and neither sunshine nor the cheering thou- sands served to put him in spirits. He had to listen to a long-winded address read by the mayor and submit to be photographed even before he stepped ashore. He did not like either infliction and took no pains to feign pleasure at this beginning of his agony. Nev- ertheless the good-natured people made allow- ances for the white-haired, prematurely aged j; man and cheered lustily until the train was out of sight. On the way to London Stanley's de- | pression increased and his friends had ‘to do | most of the talking. The only really lively car was that occupied by the reporters. At the Victoria station, Lon- | don, the preparations usually confined to occa- sions when royalty travels were made to do honor to Stanley. The police had pushed and kicked common Beople out of the station, and the inclosure had been railed off on the plat- form, The train arrived at 5:50 o'clock, and Stanley was the first to step out of the saloon {caras though he would have liked to run away. An open carriage was waiting, in which sat Baroness Burdett-Coutts. The baroness has been for years Stanley's kindest friend and patron. He might have been excused had he ventured to kiss the old lady, and none wonld have been surprised if he had shaken her hand. But the bored hero didneither. He had not |seen his patron since he set out in quest of Emin, but he simply bowed, stepped wearily | into the carriage, sat alongside the baroness, tried bravely to smile and relapsed into silence, People cheered like mad, but Stanley simply moved his head in a languid, oriental manner, d_so continued pintil he reached. his lodgings in Kensington, The crowds, except near the railway station, were not very large, but the reception ac- | corded to the explorer was unmistakably hearty, — 2 Forcing the Heart. The heart is a wonderful little pump which does us yeomen’s service; but we are apt to We slow it down with antipyrene, and hurry it up with ammonia baking powders, and get ourselves in a nervous condition, which keeps it going irregularly, and then we complain that there is something the matter with our heart. It isa wonder that it does not “stop short, never to go again,” long before it does, — Exchange. —-— Marie Wainweight Ill. A dispatch from Minneapolis to the Chicago Herald says: “Marie Wainwright in all proba- bility will never be seen on the stage again. Friday night, at the close of the last act in ‘Twelfth Night,’ she fainted away. A leading physician announced that Miss Wainwrignt was suffering from hemorrhage of the brain.” tor — Standing by the Reform. From the Philadelphia Press. The civil service reform law will always h: its opponents, doubtless. The spoilsmen will ever be irritable under its restrictions, but the longer it is in existence the stronger it will be- come. Both parties are pledged to, it in their platforms, «nd the party which shows the greater earnestness and sincerity in carrying out its purposes will inevitably have the conti- dence of the people. The republican party fortunately and deservedly occupies that posi- tion at this time. ; But there ure found members of Congress every year who insome way indicate their op- It came up this year in the form of opposition to the appropriation for the support of the commission, and while a few were courageous enough to state their real reason for desiring to withhold support—which | Was opposition to the whole system—others re- sorted to various excuses in the attempt to | justity themselves. They all mean’ the same thing, however, and the method pursued by some was a deference to popular sentiment that must be regarded as rather wholesome as | far as it goes, To undertake to withhold the necessary ap- | Propriation, because the commission is under Investigation, would be frivolous and inex- ensable, The personality of the commissién is of merely incidental importance. If any member is found to be unworthy or incompe- | tent, or in any other way di-qualified, he will undoubtedly be compelled to stand aside. The reform will not wait for nor be halted by a single fndividual in such position and it was an exceptionally weak subterfuge to talk of with- | holding the appropriation on account of the | investigation, It seems to have been rated at | its proper worth. The republican leaders in the House, like McKinley and Butterworth and McComas and | Henderson, spoke for the republican party when they stood manfully by the reform. ‘They gave true expression to repubsican senti- | ment—to the better sentiment of the whole | people. They stood upon the republican plat- ch had met the indorsement of the people, and the House sustained them. The reform so far eecomplished is worth many times | what it cost, aud the wise Representative, no matter what his individual views may be, is the one who understands that the popular support of civil service reform was never stronger than it is today, Doubtless we may look for these annual 8 upon the system, but they are not likely todo any harm, So far the effect of them has been in large measure to give strength to the reform; certainly no one will claim that they have in any way weakened it. While it has the best sentiment of the country at its back it cannot be seriously disturbed, ooo Strikers Delay the Mails. Owing to the railway strike in Ireland the train carrying the American mails arrived an hour late at Queenstown yesterday. Several railway directors and seven Dublin clerks traveled on the train and the latter carried the Umbria’s mails to the steamer, which was only slightly delayed. The same train took the Servia’s mails for Ireland, while the English and Scotch mails went to Liverpool, see Mrs.Cooper Becomes an Italian Countess. The marriage of Mrs, E. M.

The Metropolitan base ball nine of New York were to have played the Senators, and between five and six hundred people had paid admission to the grounds to witness the game. The Senators failed to appear.

The Star has three times the circa- lation of any other paper in Washing- tou! 2. The Star's circulation in Washing- tou is double that of all the other datly papers published in the city added to- gether!! & She Star bas a targer and fuller circulation in the city where printed, in propertion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news- paper im the wertd!!! 4. The Star has the iargest regular and permanent home circulation of any (wo-cent afternoon paper in the United States 1:1! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILT CIRCULATION IW I8R5-86-87-88-82, 1SS5. 1886.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regulas carriers at the homes of permanent sub scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the salee over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a ver} large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so 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 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 t¢ the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who scek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demané 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 ADVERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED & IRS5-SO-NT-SS SU 1886. 1887. 3,200 3,615 3,064 3,547 3,506 4,669 4,355 5,475 4,197 5,395 3,938 4,522 3,233 3,a8t 2582 3,170 4,517 5,313 sss, 4,076 3,924 4,603 4.956 S178 4.606 3.915 3.508 4,904 5,412 TOTAL 61,499 45,910 54,038 54,501 65,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown, The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ip 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertise- ments in 1888 was 25.10 columas, or 7779 columns for the year; whercas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being « total gain over the pre vious year of 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing im the way of tax sales, poll lists, clection returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrum age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, m proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rater take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereic made can be abundantly verified) THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPENTO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION 1889. 4,586 4,528 3.494 NM 6.039 5.528 4,489 4.604 5.889 6,589 6,107 5,793 4,879 4,250 3.506
