Tre Star celle the attention of its readers, men and women, to the coupon petition printed elsewhere. It asks each of them to read the petition curefully, and, if the requests which it contains meet his or ber approval, to sign it, cut it out, and send it by mail to or haud it in at Tut Stan office. ‘The petition is put in such shape that every citizen antious to protect life and to improve the conditions of railroad occupation can sign it, whether he favors the removal of the station from the mali or not, and whether he is from south, cast or northwest Washington, ‘The people of Soutk Washington will natur- ally seize with eagerness the opportunity to protest against the surface tracks which un- necessarily obstruct, injure, threaten and kill them, and against a measure which perpetu- ates the evil conditions that now exist and which is sustzined only by the foulest slander of their section. The people of East Washington, suffering like those of South Washington from an unnecessary multiplication of surface tracks and grade crossings and illegal encroach- ments on the part of the railroad which trav- erses their section, will reasonably join with heart, soul, mind and strength in the move- Ment against grade crossings and the Atkin- sou bill. For the evils which South Washing. ton endures are their evils also, and this fight is their fight, Nor will Northwest Washington, though not a direct sufferer, be indifferent. The obstruc- tive danger-belt of surface tracks between the Tiver front aud the main city endangers the lives of thousands from the northwest as they pass to and from the river on business or pieas- ure. The modern city is a unit, and what injures oue section should be felt by all. ‘The public spirit which builds up great cities is based upon this sentiment of common interest, Manslaughter by railroad in two sections of the capital is a concern of the whole city, like the question of a uew bridge in the southuast and a Columbus Park in the northwest. ‘The main evil to be remedied in this case is also of general instead of merely local concern because it threatens human life. When murder is to be checked it is not necessary that appeals for aid shall be addressed to a next-door neighbor. It as sutticient if the cry for assistance comes to the ears of a feliow man. The time is now favorable for securing from the railroad what the people seek. It is asking that its illegal acts be legalized and that valu- able privileges be granted to it, The attention of Congress has beeu called to its affairs, and that body shows a disposition to deal fairly with the people. If thus opportunity be wasted the chances are that no other #0 favorable will ever arise. It will be criminal negligence to fail to act promptly, aud will throw upon all to whom the neglected opportunity is attributable # share in the responsibility for future blood- shed at grade crossings, In families where more than one adult sig- Bature is to be attached the coupon can be cut out and pasted as a heading on a sheet of paper, upon which additional signatures may be Placed. The same course may be pursued iu churches or other organizations, and in ceses where volunteer canvassers may desire to vol- ject signatures, The labors of the latter will be gladly welcomed. Tuey will uot be com- peusated, however, by the payment of so much for cach name secured; but will work from the promptings of public spirit or for humanity's sake. The petition will be found in another column of Tue Stan. ston Grove, Wassixorow Grove, August 4 The hot weather has increased the population of the Grove considerably.

A Bar Harbor dispatch to the New York Times yesterday says: Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, accompanied by Archbishop Ken- dgick of St. Louis and Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, arrived bere about 1 p.m. today on the Mount Desert from Rockland. The party was met at the pier by Mr. and Mrs, Nathan Matthews, Dr. Keating and Father Butler of St. Sylvia’s Church. The news of the cardinal's coming was not known here until this morning, and numbers of people watched for them, but only the very few who looked for the red cap under the cardinal’s hat and the red scarf at bis breast underneath his coat had any idea who the visitors were when they ar- rived, and the result was that curicus people were looking for them for many hours after their actual arrival. The Matthews carriage bore the cardinal at once to Ciefstone cottage. Keating took Archbishop Ryan to the Keating cottage on Mount Desert, while Archbishop Kendrick, his niece, Miss Eustace of St. Louis, who ac- companied him, and Father Butler drove to Parker cottage. next fo the Belmont Hotel, where the archbishop and his niece had taken apartments, and will board at the Belmont. ‘0 svoner had the three noted prelates _ar- rived than invitations began to pour iu. The gentlemen of the Mount Desert Reading Room, the club house by the shore, and the president and directors of Kebo Valley Club House at once tendered them the freedom of those in- stitutions during their stay. Mr. Charles R. Dorr of Boston sent them invitations to dine tomorrow evening at his cottage, *Oid Farms,” to meet ex-Gov. Endicots of Massachusetts, who had arrived a few hours before. Monday night they are invited to the club house. Tuesday evening Mrs. Matthews gives a large dinner in their house. Wednesday night Mrs. and Miss Pendleton of Philadelphia, mother and sister of Edmund Pendleton, give another dinner at Kebo Valley Ciub Houso in their honor, and Thursday evening Dr. Keating im- vites « number of friends to meet them. Much regret is expressed that Secretary Blaine is not here to meet the cardinal on his first arrival, but he is not expected to return until after his meeting with the President at the celebrations in Boston. ‘the cardinal is said to be in delicate health and looks it. He has of the afternoon driving out with Mrs. Matthews. A QUESTION OF DAYs. Kemmler’s Sentence May Be Void Be- cause the Week Ends With Sunday. A delicate point of law has been suggested in the case of William Kemmler, under sentence of death by electricity. The point is that the week beginning August 4 ends with Sunday. The warden has arbitrary power to defer the execution until Sunday, August 10. On Sunday the general law would intervene to prevent the killing on that day upon the ground that any execution of legal processes upon Sunday i notlegal. Directly at this point the case is touched by that general principle of law that ifthe sentence under which Kemmler is ex- pected to be killed is void in part, it must be wholly void. Brought to a close application, the premises warrant the assumption that if it is illegal to kill Kemmler on the seventh day of the week designated, then it would be illegal to kill him on any other day of the week des- iguated. ‘The situation, it is held, would be different if Sunday intervened as partof seven days, be- cause it would then run with the week and be * part of the seven days constituting the week. As the case stands, the week in which the sentence is to be executed wiil not be legally complete because the week ends with a day void in law. Unless there is some general law which may bridge this point which is raised the en- tire sentence, it is thought, would be null and void. Warden Durston returned from New York this morning. He is, however, invisible, though why nobody ‘seems to be able to guess. ‘There are those who protess to believe the killing may be done early in the morning. but it is ditticult to give credence to this with- out believing also that undignitied haste would be employed, for the machine and apparatus for killing Kemmler have only been unpacked the past week from their packing. Of Kemmiler’s condition little if anything is known, Without speculation it may be eaid that as guod information as is furnished is to the ef- fect that he 1s not a lunatic nor a groauing flabby wretch consumed with horror, — or. = SIMPLY A FOOLISH BOY. The Ethics Applied by an English Judge to Lady Dunlo’s Case. Tne London correspondent of the New York Tribune says: The Dunlo case creates that ex- truordinary interest which attends almost every ease in this country in which a peer anda woman are concerned. The peer is not, of course, Lord Dunlo. He is nota peer. But his father, the Earl of Clancarty, is, though only au Irish peer. Lord Dunlo is simply a foolish boy who married a pretty music hall singer known as Belle Bilton. Lord Clancarty thereupon sent his son around the world with the expectation that meanwhile the wite would misbehave herself, and so, on his return, enable Lord Dunlo to divorce her. This pretty «cheme bas failed) Lady Dunlo’s association with Mr. Wertheimer must be judged, ssid Sir James Hannen, by the standard ot the world she lived in, It would have been a presumptivt against her in different circumstances, but it now seems to be judicially affirmed that a music hall career entitles 4 wife to live in a house not her husband's, but another man's, to be visited ‘by this other man’ and to allow him to pay her —_ expens allinnocently on her part, and from platoui motives on his, The jury, no doubt—and per- haps even to some extent the judge—were re- solved to mark their sense of Lord Clancarty’s conduct iu laying a trap for his son's wife, She is young and attractive, and her photographs fill the shop windows, and not even Sir Charies Russell could induce the jury to give a verdict against her. Nor was there really evidence enough to justify any other verdict than that which leaves her still Lady Duulo, a verdict for once approved by everybody. ‘The radical press argues that a peerage which produces ‘arty and Lord Dunlo must be rot- Sensible people are willing to let individ- Lady ten. uals bear their own responsibilities, Dunio was cheered on leaving court and signal- ized her vietory by going to a music hall to see her sister sing and dance. She was greeted by the wudience with cheers, and rose and bowed from her private box like royalty itself, Me. Wertheimer met her at the ‘Trocadero. Gen, Boynton, himself one of the manliest and most honorable of journalists, writes to the Cinemnati Gazette of the loss to the profession involved in the withdrawal of Mr. Clas, Nord- hoff from active work as follows: Wasutnatoy, July 31,—The retirement of Mr. Chas. Nordhoff from Washington journal- ism is # matter of keen and universal regret in the wide circle where he has long moved and been constantly tufluential, The facts did uot become public here until today. They reflect greatcredit upon Mr. Bennett, andare a grace- Tul and fitting tribute to Mr. Nordhotf's long and faithful service. He found it necessary, mainly on account of the health of his wife, to go to the mild climate of southern California. Mr. Bennett, hearing of this, immediately gave Mr. Nordhoff « long leave with full pay. and placed his name on the salary list of the Heruld at half pay for the rest of is life. He is to go aud come at will, to work or not. as suits him best, but is alwaysto remain # member of the Herald stafi. This appreciation of Mr. Nordhoff by the owner and manager of the Heraid, after the long years m which the home management of that great paper has veen so largely trusted to Mr. Nordhoff, says much more for him than even a friendly hand ean write. During Mr. Beunett’s residence in Europe, contrary to the belief of many, he has given daily attention to his newspaper. He has the New York office on a wire wherever he goes. Mr. Nordhoff has been his confidential manager here and with him he has been m constant communication. After this intimate association in a position of such delicac; d difficulty the evidence that Mr. Bennett gives of its worth to him and of the eminently satisfactory way in which the duty has been performed is best made known in the act already mentioned, . . . . . « In the broadest sense he has been a man and his work bas been manly work. He will be sorely missed by hie friends, ‘They are giad for him, but cannot refrain from considering their own low. But his retirement rises above all personal considerations and becomes a loss which it will be hard to supply in that corps of writers who serve the public fearlessly and mete out praise aud censure with honest hearts and impartial bands. peat redo ee Dying From Lockjaw. A few days ago A. C. Covil of Cortland, N.¥., stepped on a tack, which caused a small wound, which was not regarded as serious at the time. Lockjaw bas since set in, however, and there ‘are 20 hopes of bis recovery. THE SILENT WIRE! Ofictal Dispatches to Minister Mizner in Guatemala Not Yet Discovered. United States Minister Ryan at the city of Mexico is still in the dark, according to a New York Hercld dispatch, regarding the affairs of Central America from an official standpoint, as he has had no communication with Minister Mizuer, resident in Guatemala, It is said Mi ister Ryan will at ouce try to discover where the trouble lies. For the last two days the Guatemalan legation at Mexico bas received no telegrams trom the state department of Guate- mala, and Minister Dieguez thinks the wire is down between Antonio and the capital. As both Points are in Guatemala he could not explain why the wire had not been repaired. and ap- peared surprised when told that the United States government had received no dispatches from Minister Mizner. Minister Dieguez can offer no explanation for the detention of th telegrams that had evidently been sent by the federal lines, ‘Those who are *amitiar with the situation in Mexico say that the United States government should at once send agents from the jegation at the City of Mexico to Guatemala via Acu- pulco. This would be a quick trip, consuming ouly nine days, As matters now staud there 18 Spparent chicanery going on with the United States official correspondence, as there are many things that Guatemala desires to keep in the ‘dark. United States agents, once in Guatemala, could open in connection with the United States men-of-war direct communica- tion with the United States by transferring offi- cial dispatches by water from San Jose, Guate- mala, to Acajutla, in Salvador, thence by the federal wire along the coast to Libertad, and by cable to Washington. Dispatches received from Guatemala state that ¢ i i dent Barilios is firm in the belief that the di culty with San Salvador is soon to be settled satisfactorily to Guatemalan interests, President Diaz reiterates his denial of the re- Ports that he would interfere in the Guate- malan-San Salvadoran difficulty. as 7 ———— RUIN IN THE WHEAT FIELDS Acres of Ruined Crops in Minnesota and the Dakotas. A New York Hereld special from St. Paul says the extremely hot weather of the past week has had a bad effect on the crops in Min- nesota und both the Dakotas. Reports from Mazeppa, Minn., says that the yield of wheat will be small. Near Springfield crops have ripened rapidly the past three days, causing wheat and oats’ in many fields to fall down, Farmers estimate that the average will not ex- ceed fifteen bushels per acre, In the neigh- Lorhood of Frazee City and in Swift county indications are not encouraging. In Steele county harvest has begun. Winter wheat is good and of good quality. Spring wheat is damaged by rust somewhat, but mostly by blight. In South Dakota crops are “spotted,” being far above the average in some localities and far below in others. Around Woonsocket dur- ing the past tive days hot winds have prevailed, doing immense damage to corn, Wheat is al- most all harvested, but not as large « propor- tion as usual will grade Nos, 1 and 2. The corn crop may be said to be, with the exception of the southeast portion of this county, almost completely ruined, aud not over 15 to 20 per cent ot acrop is now insight. Grain is hght throughout Spink county. Estimates place the average yield all the way from 5 to 10 bushels peracre. Near Roscoe the tlax crop has been injured fully 50 per cent. ‘The yield of wheat will be about 8 bushels ver acre on an average. Indications pot toa very light yield in North Dakota, except in the counties boraering on the Red river. No harvesting will be done before the middle of next week. During the last ten days the outlook has changed greatly for the worse. Grain has ripened beyond ex- Ppectations and at least 10 per cent of the wheat as burned. The hail storm of Wednesday totally destroyed the crop onastrip 4 miles wide and from 10 to 12 miles long. Wheat on the Dalrymple farm is looking fine and bids fair to be the finest yield in this section, eae HOW THE DEATH LIST WAS MADE. The Plan of Ascertaining the Number Killed at Johnstown. Secretary J. B. Kremer of the Pennsylvania | being th: state relief commission told yesterday how the number of the dead xt Johustown was com- puted. A dispute between him and the Johne- town newspapers regurding the number prompted an interview, during which Mr, Kre- mer said: “Two thousand one hundred and forty-two was given, not as the correct number. but the number reached after the fullest and most careful investigation, Almost immediately after the flood and long berore [ had any cou- nection with the work in Johustown a commit- tee had been appointed to get ths informstion and its work continued for some two months. The amount of work done by this commistec was very large and the data collected were placed on file. A registration was had of all the citizens in the valley and in doing this in- formation was gzined ay to those lost. “By private enterprise a directory was pub- a e] -| }, the Unde rolgned trustee will lished, im obtaining the duta for which much } Wepet iO, the wide rogue trusté was learned of the drowned, aud a list thus | iT} Tupac or eck prepared was published.

While its aggregate circulation there- | fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position m modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the j 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 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 bueiness men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST | RETURNS PROM THE MONEY PAID OUT | FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage. | Nothing can more public than a constantly 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: 1889. 4,556 4,529 Mak....3,198 3,506 4,669 4,603 5,494 APKIL..3,679 4,555 5,475 4,956 5,856 Mar... 4,197 5,395 5,171 6,033 5,529 4.483 Ave 2582 5.170 3.508 4,608 5.589 6,559 6,107 5.795 the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns!
