Senator Evarts’ Committee Approves the Choice of Site. The Senate committee on the library has de- cided that the Lafayette statue shall be erected just where the pedestal now stands—on the southern edge of Lafayette Square. During the past month Senatcr Bate, who lives near Jackson's old Tennessee home, introduced a resolution asking by what authority the statue had been located in this square. The resolution was referred to the committee on the library. Late yesterday afternoon Senator Evarts pre- sented a report, which says the action is in con- formity with the authority conferred law upon the Secretary of War. The report states that Lafayette Square has a front of 725 feet upon Pennsylvania avenue opposite an equal front of the grounds of the executive grounds and also equal front of 725 feet upon H Street. The square also hasan east and west front of 425 feet ou the streets upon which the sides of Lafayette Square face. The statue of Jackson is at a point 200 feet distant from the line of Pennsyivania avenue and H street and 350 feet from the line of the street east and west of the square. The width of the space eccupied by the Lafayette statue, fronting the Executive Mansion, will be about 25 feet and the two statues will be about 200 feet im line distant from each other. ‘THE JACKSON STATUE. The statue of Jackson is so much embowered by the trees of the square that itcau be hardly observed from the streets east and west of the square and is so far distant from Pennsylvania avenue and H street that it is necessary forany observer to enter the square in order’ to ex- amine or appreciate the statue, either in its general effect or in the merits as a work of art. It is not very easy to measure exactly how much the observation of this statue from Penn- sylvania avenue or f¢om the Executive Mansion Will be interrupted by the Lafayette statue, as the opening, as it now exists for that purpose, is much wider than the front of the Lafayette statue; but this interruption of view must, toa certwin extent, result from the statue being in line when looked at in that direct perspective, WHY THE SITE WAS SELECTED. The committee disclaims all responsibility as to the statue or its site, but as its chairman is associated in the sanction given by act of Con- gress to those having that subject m charge. they deemed it right to present the aspect and considerations which determined the selection maze for Lafayette statue. No interior public reservation would answer. The nature and associations of this monument seemed to indi- cate that a vite should be preferred having some relation either to the Capitol and its grounds or tothe Executive Mansion and pub- hie butidings about it. None around the Ky a tol seemed adequate in dignity and popular esteem tor the i fayette statue. The one se- lected seemed entirely appropriate. Full con- sideration was given to certain advantages which might attend the selection of one of the small reservations on Peunsylvania avenue between the Capitol and the line of isthstrect, the advantages were not equal to those h would attend site selected. The committee believes that at no distant day sites might be selected along the line of the open espianade on which the Lafayette statue was to stand. Already a bill had been intro- daeed for a statue in honor of Secretary of War Stanton in front of the War Department butiding. The same might naturally be ex- pected on the Pennsylvania-avenue front of the Treasury Department, while the two cor- ners of Lafayette Square might well be de- signed for monuments of illustrious soldiers and statesmen. In coutewplation of this prospect the selecting of the site for the Lafayette statue was thought eminently fit. In gelection it did not escape attention that in the original plan of the city of Washington the only personal name assigned by Gen. Washington to any public reservation was to that in front of the grounds of the President's residence. JACKSON MAY HAVE ANOTHER STATUE. “Some public criticism,” says the report, “has been made by the local authorities of the District in disapproval of thissite. This seemed to turn mainiy upon a preference for the center of the square over one on the public thorough- fare of Pennsylvania avenue. If this point had not already been occupied by the statue of Gen. Jackson the considerations already set forth would have given a preference to the site actually selected. If the relation of the statues toeach other shouid prove unsatisfactory it Was thought in the improvement of art in this country and the liberality of Congress in re- Spect Of commemorative statues and monu- ments, a greater aud more imposing statue in honor of this illustrious soldier and statesman, illustrative of his military achievements, might well be provided to replace or to be in addi- tion to the equestrian e now in Lafayette Square. and to bs placed on a site more in ac- cordauce with the requirements of its posi- tion.” ieee ke Can You Write English? With a view to encourage the writing of short, bright, suappy adver: sing Taz Evex- ing itan Newsrarer Cours offers three prizes of $100, $50and = to be awarded to the writers of the best three serizs of articles setting forth the advantages of Tux Evenrxa Stax as an advertising medium, written under the following conditions: The series isto consist of six articles, de- sigued for separate publication, of not over one hundred and fifty words each, and any less number of words may be used. ‘The articles are to be based on the sugges- tions given below. Each article may contain one or more of the sugzestions, as the contest- ant may elect, provided all the points are com- preheuded in the six articles comprising the series, No reflections are to be made on any of our cotempor. s beyond that implied in the fact of their enjoying only a fraction of Tux Stan's circulation, ‘The contestants must reside in Washington or in one of the suburbs of Washington. No articles will be received later than June 20, 1890. Contestants will inclose with their essays an envelope containing name and address, ‘The contestants, however, will be known to the judges by number only. The awards will be made by a committee composed of Messrs, Isadore Saks, 8. W. Wood- ward, Washington Danenhower and A. Lisner. Address all inquiries and communications relating to this contest to Editor Advertising Contest. ‘The points required to be covered are: 1 The average circulation of Tux Star for the first three months of 1590 was 33, this being more than trebie that of any other Wash- ington newspaper. 2 Tue Sran hasa larger and fuller circula- tion in the city where printed, in proportion to Yeading and purchasing population, than any other newspaper in tke world. It is essentially ahome paper, the extent to which it is relied Bpou by members of the household, particu- larly by the purchasing portion of the commu- nity, being the marked characteristic of the Paper. to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. 3. The value of advertising is in direct pro- Portion to the circulation of the paper, con- sidering the character of its readers, Weighed in this balance Tux Sra is one of the cheap- est advertising mediums in the United States, and far cheaper than any other Washington Paper. 4 That an advertisement running for three months or over with one change a month costs about 445 cents a line an insertion or jess than One-seventh of a cent per line in each thousand Papers. 5. A eworn statement of the circulation of ‘Tur Stax for the preceding week is published each Monday, and its press and circulation Fooms are open to the public and its circula- tion books may be inspected by any one having &n interest in their examination. 6. The fact that Tue Sta is universally ree- ognized as the great “Want” medium of the city and the advantages of making wants known through it 33 —~oo—— Culbertson Probatly Beaten. A very heavy vote was polled throughont Erie city and county at the republican prima: Ties yesterday. ‘Thirty-nine precincts in Erie @ounty out of fifty-nine show a net gain for Grpwold over Culbertson from two years ago of 251 votcs. The missing twenty precincts will inerease his gain. Fifteen preciucta in Crawford county give net gain for Griswold of aoe, Making bis nominatwon certain. A LITTLE LUCK. CHALLENGED TO DEADLY DUEL. Washington Did Not Play Ball Yester- | Col. Dawson, a Southerner, Anxious to day—The Results of Games. Washington did not play ball yesterday and for first place with lieve the luck bas changed. We have hopes of doing well in the serics here, and when we get your club over m our slaughter pen at home You want to look out.” ‘That's the way to talk, Just at present the Orioles think that they are the only folks on earth, and they really have good cause for some of this conceit, for on their recent tri abroad they won games with great regularit, They made 119 runs to 60 by their opponents and they are very proud of the feat. Washing- ton’s new pitching talent will do a great deal,un- doubtedly, to help pull the Senators out of the rut they oceupy at present, as this was really the only weak spot on the team, Nowadays, how- ever, the entire club is weak in batting, but Manager Ted thinks that this is merely a streak that will expend itself in a day or two. After @ moment or two of sober thought there ought to be no one of a disposition to “jump on” the team for its inte los.ng streak. Lt wes simply the natural reaction after the abuormal period of winning. ‘There is now a hard fight before the Statesmen, a good, stiff, up-hill fight that ought to produce lots of interest here, GAMES WON 4ND LOST, Jersey City won from New Haven yesterday, 10 to 5, by pounding out five runs in the first inning. McDermott and Murphy and Gilliland and Hofford were the batteries, Jersey City j made 11 hits and 4 errors and New Haven 7 hits and 6 errors. Worcester had a batting streak in the sev- enth inning and made five runs, winning from Hartford 10 to 5. Stafford and Wilson and Winkleman and Moore were in the points, Worcester made 11 hits and 3 errors and Hart- ford 8 hits and 3 errors. Wilmington had hard luck once more yester- day, and although playing » much better game than Newark lost by the score of 8 to 5. New- ark managed to bunch bits, The batteries were Miller and Duffy and Stein and Corcoran. Wil- mington made 9 hits and 2 errors and Newark 9 hits and 8 errors. ‘The other games resulted as follows: National League—Philadelphia, 6; Brooklyn, 5.

Baltimore is very confident of winning. Jack Lyston, late of Worcester, is applying to Sullivan for a new trial. Big Sam Thompson won the game for Phila- deiphia yesterday by a home-run drive in the ninth. Burns made a similar hit for Brooklyn in the fifth inning with the bases full. The Wilmington folks have decided to retain possession of their club and have rejected the offer of Al Reach for the stock. Pitcher Wehrle and another twirler will be secured, Wehri has been playing this season in the Texas league and last year was with the inter- tional and California Leagues. Short sto Nelson and Pitchers Buckley and Sworbac have been teleased. ‘The Y.M.C.A. team defeated the Comets yes- terday at the Y.M.C.A. park, corner New York and New Jersey avenues, by the score of 9 to 8.

To the Editor of THE EVENING Stan. Will you kindly allow me, through your paper, to ask expressions of opinion of clerks, male and female, employed by pension attorneys in this city, as to the practicability of forming an association for mutual benefit. Department clerks and clerks in different branches of mer- cantile business form associations for benetit and improvement. Isee no reason why pen- sion attorueys clerks should not do the same, hope the ‘clerks will express themselves on the subject. Pe A Compliment to a Washington Girl, The following paragraph isa translation from Lestoffe, a Yaris paper. and relates to the daughter of Col, Willard P. Tisdel, who was the first agent to the Congo, sent by President Arthur. His daughter, who is so flatteringly spoken of, was born here. Her mother bas had all the family abroad for several years finishing their education: “There was a gcuuine surprise atthe Theatre d’Application yesterday ou the occasion of the exhibition of M. Dupont-Ver- non’s most promising pupils. A young Ameri can. Miss Tisdel, revealed herself as an admira- ble tragedieune. In the final scene of Adrienne Lecouvreur” she displayed a most startling ability. If Miss Tisdel were to overcome the very slight accent which she still retains, es- pecially in reciting the prose passages, one could ‘almost believe that Rachel had again come to life.” poet aces A Portrait of Judge Merrick. The students of the law Georgetown university last evening at Rifles hall formally presented to that institution a lite size portrait of the late Judge Wm. M. Merrick. C. M. Fulton made the presentation speech and Mr. J. M. Wilson received the picture with an appropriate address, Remarks were made by Judge Chas. P. Jumes and Gen. Henkle. ee emacs een FORGOT WHO HE WAS, Scientists Puzzled by a Most Extraor- dinary Malady. Before the American Neurological Associa- tion. which met Wednesday in Philadelphia, Dr. 8. Wier Mitchell related the strange story of Ansell Bourne, a man who completely forgot his identity for two yeara, The story has been told before, but not by responsible people or in an authenticated way. Ansell Bourne lived in Providence, K.L, with his wife and family, and some years ago disappeared, It was said that he had taken several hundred dollars with him and had fled the city. Two years after- ward man named William Brown, who kept a molasses caudy sture in Norristown, Pa., awoke in the middle of the mght and began screaming with terror. Although he was in his own store, he imagined that he had broken into some one else's, and that he would be charged with burglary. His neighbors as- sured him that he was William Brown, and that he owned the store. He said he was Ansell Bourne and that he lived in Providence. His identity was finally established, he sold his cardy store and retarned to his old home and old name in Providence. Dr. afivcheil investi- gated the case. Bourne had no remembrance of the period during whien he was Brown, He has recently been mesmerized several times, When in a trance he becomes Brown again and ‘can recollect nothing of Ins state of existence as Bourne. Some of the doctors received the story with increduilty, but the main facts are well authenticated.

Argument was commenced yesterday in the chancery court in Richmond in the case of Lewis agt. Thomas, administrator. There are six leading lawyers on each side. Wm, A. Thomas, just before his death, gave Bettie Thomas Lewis, a colored woman, whom he ac- knowledged to be his daughter, the keys to his box in the vaultof the Planters’ National Bank, his bank book and the keys of his safe in Drewey & Co.’s office, and, as is shown by the deposition of those who were present, re- marked, “I give you all my personal property,” or words to thateffect. Thomas was a very rich man, and, having died without a will, his relatives after his death demanded of Bettie Lewis the surrender of the keys of the box in the vault of the bank and the keys of the safe in the office of Drewey & Co. ‘The keys were given up under protest. ‘The court appointed essrs, Mann and Quarles curators of the estate, and the relatives of Thomas applied to the court for the appointment of an admin- istrator. Bettie Lewis, through her counsel, applied to the court for an injunction restr: ing the curators from turning over the estate of Thomas to the administrator. The next step taken by counsel for Bettie Lewis was a motion for the appointment of a receiver, which was granted. The object of the suit now pending is to ascertain whether or not Bettie Thomas Lewis is entitled to the personal property of Thomas. seo NOW OUT OF FRANCE, The Duke of Orleans is Hurried Across the Frontier. At 10 o'clock Tuesday evening M. Armand, governor of the Clairvaux prison, entered the apartment of the Due d’Orleans and communi- cated to him the news of his pardon, The duke then addressed a telegram to hig¥ather to an- nounce the news ata quarter-past 11, The goy- ernor came for the duke and with two warders drove off with him to the station at Clairvaux. When the train arrived the Duc De Luynes alone was allowed to enter the same carriage with the duke, who was permitted to address a few friendly words to the Marquis of Gouy and to the representatives of the royalist press who were in attendance. In Morin the police commissairo took his adieu of the prince with these words: “I hope your highness has had a comfortable journey and that my presence has not been an’ annoy- ance. Iunderstand your painful feeliag of heart.” “You are right,” replied the prince, “it is in fact, a very sad moment, especially’ for one who had come to France to offer to her his blood. and his hfe. Au revoir, Vive la France.” The duke will be in Brussels today. On leaving Brussels he will go to Sheen Honse, but his entire family will journey down to Dover to meet him, “He is in splendid health and full of vigor. Due de Orleans sas sent to Due Decazes requesting him to publish the following letter to conscript: ‘To my class, Dear comrades—I had asked to serve my three years as a soldier, The only reply was to con- demn me to two years’ imprisonment, I did not complain, Before the end of my term of imprisonment I have been taken to the fron- tier. A purdon restores me to sorrows, ‘The only change is in the nature of my captivity. My resolution remains unbroken. Nothing will make me renounce the ardent hope of serving our country.

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 ‘ven below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on cach 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 Tux Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is vased are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ciren- Jation of any other paper in Washing= ide | tomt 2 ‘The Star’s circulation in Washing= im- | tom is double that of ail the other datiy the city added to- 3. Whe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news | paper im the world Ii! 4. The Star has the Iargest regular and permanent home circulation of any twe-cent afternoon paper im the United States tit! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papet, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN I885-86-87-85-89, 1885. ISS6.

AL Pi PORTION of 92%; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,852 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 reguiarly to per manent resideuts of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally suid to be in the family circle, While ite aggregate circulation there fore gives Tae Sran a distinction and enviable lism, the fullness of the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of te 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 seck 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 any article is held by the public than a constantly increasivg 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 teil the story on this point: reulation ISS7. ISSS, 1889. 3.615 4,076 4,558 S847 3,924 4,529 4,669 4,603 5,494 3,475 4,986 5,584 5,395 5,171 6,033 4,522 4,606 5,529 S.3SL 3.915 4.483 3.170 3.508 4,604 4,517 4,904 5,589 S313 5,412 6,589 5.038 4,699 6,107 5,093 5,007 5,795 TOTAL £1,499 45,910 54,038 54,801 65,523 But it is not alone in number® that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889s compared with that occupied ia The average daily space filled by advertise ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columut for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns if the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, te., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {m proportion to the extent and high charactet Of iteeirculation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO, ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS ‘MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING (4N INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION
