_ CITY AND DISTRICT @@ A wealthy London merchant gives the Secret of his business success as follows: “I always feel happy when I am advertising, for teen I know that, waking or sleeping, I have a strong though silent orator working for me; (me who never tires, never makes mistakes, and who is certain to enter the households from which, if at all, my trade must come.” To ‘meeure the services of such an agent as this shrewd merchant referred to, advertise in Tuz ‘Brerme Stan It is read by everybody m ‘Weshington. INCREDIBLE CRUELTIES. Dr. Bonny Confirms Stanley’s Charges Against Maj. Barttelot. A MICKENING STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ‘REAR GUARD OF THE EMIN PASHA RELIEF EX- PEDITION—STABBING AND FLOGGING WITHOUT PROVOCATION—THE LOGICAL RESULT OF IT ALL. The sickening and almost incredible story ‘told by Stanley cf the suffering in the rear guard of the Emin Pasha relief expedition has been corroborated by Dr. Wm. Bouny, who waa with Barttelot and Jameson in the rear guard. Dr. Bonny’s statement appeared in Seturday’s London Times, and was over his signature. Dr. Bonny says that he very much Fegrets that he is obhiged to take part in the eontroversy. He continues: tothe matter which is now before the pub! and will refer only to those events od which I an testify from personal knowledge. Dr. Bonny goes on to tell of Maj. Barttelot’s Pretended or real suspicions that Stanley had his companions on former visits to frica and his determination not to accept of Stanley's hospitality. Dr. Bonny then reiates Baritelo t's experience in seeking a drug with which to poison Tippoo Tib’s nephew. He goes 01 Py BIT A WOMAN IN THE CHEEK. “The statement that Barttelot seized a woman and fastened his teeth into her fiesh 1s quite true, and the only mistake Mr. Stanley makes is that it was into the woman's cheek and not into her shoulder that Major Barttelot fastened bis teeth. This was one of the occasions upon which I saved the life of Major Barttelot, for he would have died with his teeth in the woman's face had I not beaten off the crowd of enraged Ratives who started to attack the major with their cudgels. I bear upon my forehead a scar I received in the fierce fight that followed, and have others which show how nearly we both Jest our lives, “It is perfectly true Barttelot was in the habit of standing before the natives showing his teeth and trying to frighteen them by grin- ning at them like a fiend. It is also true that be ran about the camp prodding people with a steel-pointed staff and hitting about him. About the La Soudi there is not the slightest doubt he died from the effects of a kick in the leg given by Barttelot. Little Soudi was a sturdy chap and very clever. On se eral occasions before he received the fatal kick isaw Barttelot stand before the boy calling him names. showing his teeth and distorting hie fa He would turn to me and say: ‘Now. did you ever see such a scoundrel?’ and would make other remarks and then resume his antics. - A BOY KICKED TO DEATH. “All this time the boy would stand motion- less before him, with eyes downcast, thor- oughly submissive. On one occasion he finished ». by hitting the little fellow a terrific blow on ¢ forehead with a stick, which raised a lump almost as big asa door knob. On the day be- fore the killing of Barttelot—that is, the 18th of July. 1888—he gave the little lad the kick from which he never recovered. It is quite true, as Walter Barttelot says, that Soudi died after Barttelot’s death, but it is equally true that the boy died from the effects of that kick, as gangrene set in, and from this the lad died. “I now come to the case of John Henry, the mission boy who died from the effects of a flogging ordered by Barttelot. Walter Bartte- lot says John Henry had been ordered to be shot, but that this punishment was remitted by the major and flogging substituted instead at the request of Bonny. This is only partly true. John Henry couid speak the English, Arabic and Zanzibar languages. He went with Bartte- Jott in order to act as interpreter between that officer and Tippoo Tib. On the road back from the visit to Tippoo Tib, Barttelot flogged Henry severely and left him on the road. He forgot that he left his revolver with the boy “John Henry, being afraid to return to camp, went to his native village and sold Barttelot’s revolver for food. He did not desert, as has been stated, but Barttelot sent Soudanese guards after him and he was brought back to the camp and piaced in the ‘guardroom. In i ith me, Barttelot said: ‘John Henry is 8 dangerous man and I will shoot him.’ HOW HE KILLED JOHN HENRY. ' “ thought he was joking at first, but finding he was serious I took the matter up and pointed out tothe major that we were short of men; that this man was useful and that as he, the tnajor, could not speak a word of the language we could ill spare Henry. He sajd: ‘If I don't shoot him I will cut his ears off.’ I replied: “What will people in Europe think of that? Would you like to read the accounts of this in the papers?” He said he would not and then we discussed the question as to what should be done. I pleaded for the man, but after three days’ discussion the major decided that Henry should have one hundred lashes, nothing less.” Afterward Barttelot told Henry in the pres- ence of all the camp to prepare for death, as he was to be shotin the morning. All the men protested and Bonny persuaded Barttelot to give up his intention. “He replied: ‘Then, by God, I will give him three hundred lashes, and nothing will induce Mme to alter this decision.” On the following morning at daylight Henry was marched out and tied to a post. Four big Soudanese, not one of them under six feet in height, were se- to administer the punishment Each man was to deliver seventy-five lashes. Henry never uttered « sound after the first thirty lashes, as he became insensible to pain, This Seene was the most horrible I ever saw. Mo tifleation set in; the man’s flesh fell off in pieces on to the ground and his body swelled to 3wice its ordinary size within twenty-four Bours. Henry died.” DEATH OF BARTTELOT. Dr. Bonny tells how Chief Unguna was stabbed in the shoulder without provocation by Barttelot, He then proceeds to discuss the circumstances leading up to Barttelot’s death. Barttelot returned to the campon July 17, 1888, having been absent since June 23. His return was the signal for general disorder and tarbulence. Dr. Bonny says: “‘It was on the 18th that Soudi received the fatal kick and that I saved the major’s life when he bit the Maneyuma woman, and it was on the night of prodded quite thirty times pomeed cypress staff, and finished up by beat- the man’s brains out before the eyes of all im the village. FIGHT AFTER THE MURDER. “The scene which followed was like that the natives held back, for then they thought I meant to punish him. “Maj. Barttelot's reason for killing the man as he did was that he believed him to be the na- tive who had shet at him and myself wi ile we were sitting in my house the night before. I say that Barttelot was obliged to live in house because neither the chief of the vil- SrFe gE’ fe of the 18th, as night, the firing of guns was the village as an expression 238 Ht ie 4 8 i il F if FE a “Had Mr. Barttelot not placed Mr. Stanley "pon the defense this would never have becn made public, and I should not now be forced ‘to confirm the painful circumstances connected with the rearcolumn and the death of Maj.

Searle, 0.8.P., director of the observatory at the Catholic University, in delivering the first of the Friday scientific lec- tures for the season of 1890-91, devoted an hour to ® description of the practical methods and apparatus used in astronomical observations. “People sometimes ask,” he said, during the course of his lecture, “chow do you astronomers keep warm on « cold night? The answer to that is very simple. We don't keep warm! or, if we do to some extent, it is only by the help of big fur coats and mafflers. It would be ruin to all chance of good work if there was a fire or a radiator or any kind of beat in the dom for the hot air would necessarily out through the shutter, making which the telescope would manifestly mag- nify, so that it would be impossible to sce anything distinctly. There should really be no fire anywhere in the observatory ee for if there is some of the hot air, will surely find its way to the telescope and interfere more or less with the ‘seeing.’ Quite often, in northern latitudes, one has to sit still and get along as well as possible with the thermometer not far from zero. There is ope way of avoid- ing this discomfort, and that is ‘by the use of a telescope of French invention called the ‘elbow equatorial.” The telescope in this case is fixed parallel to the axis of the earth and runs out of the builing through s hole in the wail, Out- aide it is bent, and by means of mirrors it is possible to reflect into the tube running to the observer tho image of any celes- tial object. Besides th intage of permit- ting the heating of the room it has the further recommendation of permitting the observer to sit in » comfortable chair, in a nataral position, looking always in the same direction, instead of hauling oneself up and down and around the room by some contrivance for the observing chair, and looking now in one way and now another. But the instrument itself is less manageableand convenient than the ordinary make and, besides, a good deal of light is lost by reflection from the mirrors.” THE NEW OBSERVATORY. At the conclusion the temporary observatory built this summer at the aniversity was re- ferred to. It stands exactly om the 77th meridian from Greenwich. The dome is 15 feet in diameter and thore will bea nine-inch telescope, made by Clacey of Boston, and mounted’ by Saegmuller of this city. The machinery of the dome has been made by Messrs, Warner & Swasey of Cleveland, Ohio. It is desired to add to this little observatory a wing on each side for a transit instrument and library, and ultimately to put up a larger and more imposing edifice, with larger instruments and a variety of them. There is especially needed a meridian circle and suita- ble photographic and spectroscopic srpereee. Still, a great deal of good work can done with a nine-inch telescope, and the speaker ex- pressed the hope that the observatory of the Catholic University of America would take its place amongghose recognized by astronomers as of So and working class, which do something, not merely for the satisfaction and instruction of their owners and visitor but also for the real advancement of astronom- ical science, plea ee Special Census Agents.

M, DEATH COMES PAINLESSLY. A Scientific Opinion that Will Be Con- soling to All Humanity. From the Medical Journal The signs of impending death are many and variable. No two instances are precisely iden- tical, yet several signs are common to many cases, Shakespeare, who observed everything else, observed and recorded some of the pre- monitory signs of death also, In the account of the death of Falstaff the sharpness of the nose, the coldness of the feet, gradually ex- tending upward, the picking at the bed clothes, are accurately described. For some time before death indications of its approach become apparent, Speech grows thick and labored, the hands, if raised, fall in- stantly, the respiration ig difficult, the heart loses its power to propel the blood to the ex- tremities, which consequently become cold, a clammy moisture oozes through the pores of the skin, the voice grows weak and husky or Piping, the eyes begin to lose their luster. In death at old age there is a gradual dulling of all the bodily senses and of many of the mental faculties, memory fails, judgment wavers, imagination goes out like a candle, The mus- cles and tendons get stiff, the voice breaks, the cords of the tabernacle are loosening. Small noises irritate, sight becomes dim, nutrition goes on feebly, digestion is impaired, the secre- tions ere insufficient or vitiated or cease, cap- illary circulation is clogged. Finally, the cen- tral organ of the circulation comes to top a fall stop, and this stoppage means. dissolution. is is death of old age, which fow at- Many people have an idea that death is nec- essarily painful, even agonizing; but there is no reason whatever to suppose that death is more painful than birth. because in a certain proportion of cases dissolution is ac- companied by a visible spasm and distortion of the countenance that the idea exists, but it is arly as certain as anything can be that these distortions of the facial muscles are not only painless, but take place unconsciously. In many instances, too, a comatose or semi-com- atose state supervenes, and it is altogether probable that more or less complete uncon- sciousness then prevaile. We have, too, abundan: evidence of ple who ha’ been nearly drowned a resuscitated, and they all agree in the statement that after a few moments of painful struggling, fear and anxiety pass away and tate of tranquility succeeds, They seo the visious of green fields and in some cases hear pleasing music and, so far from being miserable, their sensations aro delightful. But where attempts at resuscita- tion are successful the resuscitated persons almost invariably protest against being brought back to life and declare that resuscitation is ac- ———— by physical pain and acute mentai misery. Death is.a fact which every man must per- sonally experience and consequently is of uni- versal interest, and, as facts are facts, the wiser course is to look them squarely in the face, for necessity is coal black and death keeps no cal- endar. soo AL JOHNSON’S PURPOSE, He Will Go On With the Base Ball Fight if Necessary. Al Johnson, the base bail magnate, went to Chicago last week on s two-fold mis- sion—first, to see Mr. Spalding and talk over the matter of a compromise, and, second, to see Mr. Addison and find out what he means todo with his club. He came, it is said, in response to « telegraphic invitation from Mr. Spalding. > He was seen, and when asked what his ideas of a compromise were, said: say frankly that I do not think there will be a compromise, My idea of one is for the clubs to get together. @ fifty per cent of the stock.

In point of fact, @ may be truthfully said that it is without as 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 papet on euch 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 Tax Sram on tbe 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu. Jation ef any other paper in Washing- ton! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing: ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has @ larger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase ing population, than any ether new = paper im the world!!! 4 The Star has the largest reguiar and permancat home circulation of @ny two-cent afternoon paper im the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-8R, 18S5. 1886. 1887.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represont the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, en¢ bynewsboys. But of this lator number a very large proportion is supplied regularly 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 @ircle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tae Stax a distinctine and enviable | Position in modern journaliom, the fullness of {ts 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 jcurnal 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 fall 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 Taz Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is beld by the publio 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: MUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS YRINTED Of 88-88, 1ss7. 1 3,615 4,076 3,847 3,924 3,473 4,956 5,393 5,171 4,522 4,606 33st 3,915 3.170 3.508 4,517 4,904 5,313 5,412 1883. 2,785 GEGGTERSEREGE A BEGUREEEREGE? in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ‘etc,, such as cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being ineluded im its petrom ge. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high charactes of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement bereis CULATION E PAPER 15 SWORN TO, ITS PRESS AXD CIRCULATION BOOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS amen m poom ae
