6 CITY AND DISTRICL F A wealthy London merchant gives the geeret of his business success as follows: “I always feel happy when I am advertising, for then I know that, waking or sleeping, I have a strong though silent orator working for me; ‘ene who never tires, never makes mistakes. and who is certain to enter the households from which, if at all, my trade must come.” To secure the services of such an agent as this shrewd merchant referred to, advertise in Tax Everixo Stan. It is read by everybody in Washington. FROM FAUQUIER WHITESULPHUR. Washingtonians Who are Interested in @ Proposed Railroad to the Springs. Correspondence of THe EVENtNa Stan, Pavqorze Wuire Sucracr Srrrxas, Gnaxp Horet, July 8 Col. and Mrs. O. G. Staples of Willerd’s, who have been spending several days at the hotel, will leave tomorrow fora brief visit to the Greenbrier White, previous to returning to Washington, from whence they will shortly depart for their sammer home in the northern part of New York state. Mr. and Mra. H. A. Willard and Mr. H. K. Willard, who have also been guests here since the 3d instant, will leave for home tomorrow by the early morning train. ‘The true inwardness of the visit of these well- known Washingtonians to the spot leaks out in the fact that they, in conjunction with Col. Robt. L Fleming, have under consideration a proposed railroad running in direct route tween Warrenton and important points fur- ther south. With this view a company com- posed of leading financiers will shortly be or- ganized for the purpose of purchasing the land the main pike road, including the spring property, thus establishing a direct route from connecting points to the famous Sulphur Springs, but forty minutes’ stage drive from arrentoa. ‘The East Virginia Mineral and Warrenton Improvement Company,” organized by s number of prominent business men from the north and south, with Joseph A. Jefferies ag president, have already begun their opera- tions for opening up the valuable mineral re— THE DIVIDED £LKS. Two Grand Lodges in Session—The New York Faction. The Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks met at Case Hall,Cleve- land. yosterday. Grand Raler Quinlan made the opening addross, during which he referred tothe New York difficulty, He said that if any one present feared legal proceedings he would be permitted to withdraw. Ail the dele- | mater from New York state applauded and re- fased to leave the hall. A Brooklyn Elk said: “We are here and will remain. All we want is protection in our rights.” He was assured that that would be done, The roll call showed 190 members of the Grand Lodge present The Grand Lodge then adjourned until this morning, when the New York matter will be considered, It was said in Cleveland yesterday that sev- eral members of the rebellious New York lodge were in the city for the purpose of keeping posted upon what was being done, and to find out bow their action is regarded by the people who have gathered here in response to the call of the grand ruler. Every lodge but one is rerented at Cleve- P No. 1 of New York. | Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey City and all other lodges located in the immediate vicinity of New York were full and properly represented. The parade yesterday afternoon, although the heat was almost unbearable, was a success, — from all parts of the country were in ine. ‘The banquet at the city armory last night was attended by 1,000 persons, No intoxicating bevorages were served. THE NEW YORK FACTION. The New York body, claiming to be the legal Grand Lodge, Benevolent aud Protective Or- der of Elks, in conformity with the order of Judge Lawrence of the supreme court, met in the New York lodge rooms Monday and elected Grand Lodge officers, Resolutions were adopted referring to the gathering in Cleveland and declaring “that the Grand Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, now assembied in the city of New York, this 7th day of July, 1890, declares said asso- ciation in Cleveland, Obio, as not representing or being a part of this order, and any and every and ail its acts professing or purporting to relate to this order in any way are hereby sdurces of the country by the purchase of 220 acres of land in the neighborhood, known as the Lee estate, together with the elegant Old mansion and stables, and for nearly half a century the residence of the late Wm. Smith, x-governor of Virginia. As this is imme- Giakely upon the main thoroughfare leading to the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, with its eastern boundary lying along the Richmond and Danville railroad, it will form an important adjunct.

Cardinal Gibbons is quoted as follows on the question of “Sunday obseryance:” «I think Sunday should be, first of all, a day devoted to religious worship, and, second, to in- nocent and healthfal recreation, as being the only day in which the great masses of the peo- ple have time to seek relaxation from their work. The danger is in the excess either way and I entirely agree with Dr. Weld, pastor of the First Independent Christ's Church, in deprecating the closing of our art galleries, hbraries. &c.. absolutely to the public. Pro- supposing thata certein portion of the day is set apart for religious exercises, I think that auy recreation that will contribute to the physi- cal, mental and moral benefit and enjoyment ofthe masses should be encouraged. I think that base ball is a game that is in conflict with the quiet decorum anJ tranquility that should characterize the observanc? of the Lora’s day and is too violent an exercise to be conducive tosuch harmony. But whatever may be the Abuses arising from Sunday base ball I regard the base ball players and observers of the game as far less reprehensible than those who would utter from the pulpit on the Lord’s day unjust and uncharitable statements about their neigh- bor. The Christian Sunday is not to be con- founded with the Jewish or even with the Pu- itan Sabbath. It prescribes the golden mean between rigid Sabbatarianism on the one hand and lax indulgence on the other. There is lit- tle doubt that the revulsion in public senti- ment from a rigorous to a loose observance of the Lord’s day can be ascribed to the sincere but misguided zeal of the Puritans, who con- founded the Christian Sunday with the Jewish Sabbath and imposed restraints on the people which were repulsive to Christian freedom and which were not-warranted by the gospel dis- pensation. ae coo Istaxp Pan, PER's Feri The finest pleasure grounds in the country.

Paul Gifford, a French scientist, has dis- covered a new propulsive force which may rev- elutionize the artof war. Itisa condensed liquefied gas, which he calls “la nouvelle balis- tique,” or liquefied gas. Three hundred drops of this compound are contained in a small steel receptacle under the rifle barrel and each time the trigger is pulled one drop falls into the breech behind the bullet. Contact with the in causes this drop to volatilize instantaneously with an expansive force far exceeding that of gunpowder and which expels the bullet with terrible velocity, accompanied by neither noise nor smoke. This invention is also applicable to urtille: eee WHAT FASTING Is. When One Abstains from Eating He is Really Consuming Himself. In the current number of the New Review there is an interesting article by Dr. Robson Roose upon fasting men. It would seem that the human machine can consume itself when it gets no fresh fuel, and that this process may last until there is nothing left to consume. Death then eusues, due either to exhaustion or to loss of heat, A fat pig was buried in its sty for 160 days under a chalk cliff at Dover. Its Weight was reduced from 160 pounds to 40 pounds. In 1831 a murderer at Toulouse com- mitted suicide by abstaining from food for sixty-three days. Afew years ago a lady de- termined to eat nothing; she died on the fif- tieth day. A French doctor who made experi- ments on animals found that sudden death was not uucommon loug before the normal time. This occurred from “syncope.” It was clear, therefore. that Succi’s experiment was a most gerous one, and this sort of exhibition ought not to be permitted. A Man Who Kept His Word. ‘The bodf of Albert Dohles of Waterloo, N. was found in Owasto Lake, near the Ensenore Gien House, yesterday morning. Wm. Dohles, his son, received a letter from him last night Saying: ‘Good-bye, William; my grave is in Owasco lake. Your mother is the cause of it” Youag Dohies started at once for Ensenore, arriving there shortly after the body was re- covered The suicide was forty-two yoars of age. ~ cee Atrawtic Crrr_ axp Rercry $3.50.—Balti- More and Ohio excursion July 12.

Oe A PARADE OF STRIKERS. Seven Thousand Cioak Makers March the Streets of New York. Under a scorching sun about seven thousand of the locked-out cloak makers puraded in New York yesterday afternoon through the principal east side streets anda portion of Broadway. Inepector Williams and a squad of police wero Present to see that travel was not completely interrupted. The paraders walked four abreast, headed by a brass band, a platoon of police, President Garside and Chairman Dale in a barouche, and the Consolidated Board of Cloak Makers, numbering twenty-one. Two Ameri- can flags, one Italian and the large flag of the union, red with gold lettering, were the only flags displayed. Some of the mottoes borne read: “Thanks to public sympathy;” “Locked out, but bound to win,” and “United we stand, divided we fall.” A large crowd followed the Procession and everything passed off quietly.

The municipal council of the Irish National Land League in New York last night re-elected its officers, No action was taken in regard to holding of a national convention, Hereafter the couneil of New York city will transmit its money direct tothe National League head- quarters in Dublin instead of through the na- tional council it fein Rumored Wreck and Loss of Life.

Stanley believes inland Africa is ‘caps- ble of sustaining » large population and urges that steps be taken to colonize it He says if the subject were taken hold earnest—if speakers in all the large to start the movement on safe and well con- sidered lines—we should be sure to see revived by 1895 one of those wonderfal migrations of humanity which peopled all Asis, Europe, Africa and America. Inarecent letter Mr. Stanley says: “There is space enough in one section of the Upper Congo basin to locate double the number of the negroes of the United States without dis- turbing a le tribe of the aborigines now inhabiting it. I refer to the immense Upper Congo forest country, 350,000 square miles in extent, which is three times larger than the Argentine Republie and one and a half times larger than entire German empire, em- bracing 224,000,000 acres of umbragcous forest land, wherein every unit of the 7,000,000 ne- groes might become the owner of nearly a juarter square mile of land. Five acres of this, planted with bananas and plantains, would furnish every soul with sufficient sub- sistence—food and wine.

Anything ‘and everything might be grown in it, from the oranges, guavas, sugarcane and cotton of sub- tropical lands tothe wheat of California and rice of South Carolina, If the emigration was prudently conceived and carried out, the glow- ing accounts sent home by the first settler would soon dissipate all fear and reluctance on the part of the others, But it is alladream. The American capital- ists, like othor leaders of men, are more en- gaged in decorating their wives with diamonds themselves with national ques- tions of such import as removing the barrier between the north and the south. The “open sore” of America—the race question—will ever remain an incurable fester. While we are all convinced that the Nessus shirt which clings to the republic has maddened her, and may madden her again, it is quite certain that the small effort needed to free themselves foreyer from it will never be made. Meantime the railway toward the favored land will be con- structed, steamérs will be floated on the waters of the Congo, and the forest-land will be closed to auch emigration by the ‘first come, first served.’” a A WHALE IN THE MANOKIN. It Made Things Lively Until Clubbed and Chopped to Death. A Princess Anne, Md., dispatch to the Balti- more Sun says: The inhabitants of Maddox's Island, in Manokin river, Fairmont district, Somerset county, had a novel experience in capturing a whale Monday afternoon. Several boys who were swimming first saw the mon- ster. They were very much alarmed and ran on shore and notified the residents of the island, When they arrived on the scene the whale was aground and was lashing the water very viciously with his tail, his head beit anchored on the bottom, a , A colored man went out in a boatand triod| to tie the tail of his whaleship with a rope. While doing this the whale struck the beat with his tail, upsetting the craft and throwing the colored man about twenty feet in the air. ‘The besiegers afterward succeeded in killing the monster with axes and clubs. They then hauled it up on the shore. It was black, It measured 44 feet in length and was as large around as a half hogshead. Some of the bones were cut outof ite mouth and brought to Princess Anne yesterday. When found aground the whale was in 334 feet of water. It is sup- posed by many to have strayed from its com- rades into the Manokin. There have been no severe storms of late to drive it here. It is a [ saps curiosity and has been visited by hun- reds of persons, W. E. Ford will cut it up and make it into oil, pshoruathrad a Pleased With the Nihilists’ Sentence. The newspapers of Russia express much satisfaction at the sentence imposed by the French court upon the nihiliste who were ar- rested in Paris for plotting against the life of the czar.

He blamed his misfortune on the inter- preter and threatened vengeance. LeeJdouck employed two other Chinamen to act as private detectives. ‘They went to Chung Wab’s store and swear they heard the latter offer to give 22,000 for the death of Lee Jouck. They also swear that Leo Tock and Lee Hung agreed to do cated go for €2,000 provided €200 should be be paid in cash and the remainder on satis- factory performance of the contract, soe - Contest Over a Big Estate.

Pe er nee ==—| SOME BUSINESS POINTS. — Be Eg 8 EVENING STAR is offered to the pubs 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 nd | the year 1889, published in Tus Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, thé points upon which the above claith is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- tation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing= ton is double that of all the ether datly papers blished im the city added te gether!! 3. dhe Star bas a targer and fuller circutation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news paper im the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permancat home circulation of any (we-cent afternoon paper in 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: — - ASL CIRCULATION I 2885-86-87-88-80, 1583. 1886.

Of this number; 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub ecribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, cnd by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, 4c. (not householders), so tat its whole circula tion may be literally said to be im the family circle. While ite aggregate circulation there fore gives Tar Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journal'sm, 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 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 seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux 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,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEM.NTS «RINTED Et 1885-86-87 88-8 3,200 3,615 4,076 4,556 3,064 3,547 3,924 4,529 3,806 4,669 4,603 5,494 4,355 S478 4,956 5.584 4,197 5,395 5,171 6,033 3.938 4,522 4,606 5,529 3,235 3,35l 3,015 4,483 2.582 2170 3.508 4,606 4,208 4,517 4,004 5,958 4,879 5,313 5,412 6,580 4,230 5,038 4,699 6,107 3,596 5,093 5,007 5,795 ToraL 61,499 45,910 54,038 54.801 €5,523 im the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, @tc., such as cocasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its petrom ge. ‘In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, ‘tm proportion to the extent and high ‘characte, Of its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates? take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to finally, that every statement hereia
