CITY AND DISTRICT. € A recentiy published work on “The Art of Advertising” ys: “A point which will af- ford reliable information as to the value of a publication as an advertising medium is the ‘closeness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Tu Stan invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater im- portance to the advertiser, it charges everybody the same price for Ue same service.

APORTION OF THE PARK SOON TO BE OPENED TO ‘THE PUBLIC--AMERICAN ANIMALS THRRATENED WITH THE FATE OF THE MAMMOTH—THE PARK AND ITS PURPOSES. ‘The most important object for the existence of the National Zoological Park here at Wash- ington is to furnish a retreat for the breeding and restoration of animals indigenous to this country which thresten to become extinct. So says Prof. Langiey. secretary of the Smit sonian Institution, in bis annual report about to be issued. “In theearly part of this century,” he con- tinues, “a naturalist traveling in Siberia stood Dy the mutilated body of « mammoth, still un- decayed, which the melting of the frozen gravel had revealed, and to the skeleton of which large portions of jlesh. hair and skin still clung. "The remains were disinterred and transferred many hundreds of miles across frozen wastes, at last reaching the Imperial Museum of St. Petersburg, where the mounted skeleton is to ‘this day regarded as the greatest treasure of that magnificent collection.” With this discovery of the mammoth in ice as its text, Prof. Langley says, has come into ex- istence a whole literature, not only scientific memoirs. but popular "books, theological works and even poems. He goes on to say ~The American of the next generation, when questioned about the animals once chatacter- istic of his country, will be forced to that with the exception of a few insignificant creatures ranking as ‘vermin,’ this broad con- tinent possesses none of those species which one time covered it, inasmuch as the present generation will have completed the destruction | the a Of thera all.

Lee's overwhelming victory m the’ district in spite of this vigorous indorsement of Hume in his own home means a good deal. For some time there has been an undercurrent of senti- mentin the state favorable to Gen. Lee for ‘overnor, and he may be a formidable candi- ate before the next convention. Under the law of Virginia her governors are elected for one four years terin only, and Gen. Lee's next term in Congress will expire just as the guber- natorial campaign of "93 comes on. It is not likely he wil care to remain in Congress longer, and while many do not deem him well fitted for the rough and tumble duties of that body they believe him well equipped for the executive chair of the state, and Alexandria county would reverse its majority of over 1,300 if he were « cundidate for that honor. His name alone is a host in Virginia. ‘You independents seem to be good enongh democrats yet?" indeed. We worked for a hustler, be- the House is now managed, it takes hustler to get anything. Gen. Lee has been s0 educated that if he were in a duel he would let the other fellow shoot first as an act of cour- tesy. We are not so modest.” MOUNT VERNON AVENUE AND THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE. “How is the Mount Vernon avenue move- ment getting along?” “The hearts of our people are set on the suc- cess of that undertaking. When the White House wns built the state of Virginia provided $150,000, which haa never been repaid. The State legislature has given thix claim against the government to the Mount Vernon Avenue Association, and if Uncle Sam will liquidate this honest’ debt we shall have a pretty good fund to begin operations with. ‘ , ‘Is there any let up on the Memorial brid “Not a bit. The sentiment of the whole country is for it and Congress cannot long re- fuse. Then there ought to be « large me- morial hall in Arlington cemetery where funeral rites could be performed ‘and the annual memorial exercises held. The bridge would bring the cemetery-within two miles of the President's house, which would be a great convenience to the visiting public who are now obliged to go five miles around. The northern and western members of Congress are for it and the bridge is sure to come.” BRAZILIAN NAVAL OFFICERS. ‘Their Arrival in the City—Sight-Seeing Yes- terday. The officers of the Brazilian war ships are in town, ready for the honors that are to be heaped upon them by an admiring city. They reached here yesterday at 3:30 o'clock and were escorted to the Arlington by Chief Clerk Brown of the State Department. The party consists of Admiral Balthazar de Silviera, Capt.

The object of the visit of Admiral de Silvicra and his fellow officers is to present to the Presi- dent a medal struck by the Brazilian govern- ment in commemoration of the prompt recog- nition of the Brazilian republic by America, and the salutation of the tag of Brazil by the American naval squadron in Itio Janciro.- ‘The medal represents on one side the American eagle carrying in its claws the coat of arms of the great republic and symbolical of its glory and force, and two branches, one of laurel and the other of oak. The eagle ix flying toward Brazil, as is shown by the constellation of the Southern Cross. In its beak the eagle carries a branch of olive as atoken of peace. ‘The in- scriptiog on this side isin Portuguese and reads: “A REPUBLICA DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DO AMERICA.” + To the United States of Americ: On the reverse side is an allegorical figure of the republic of Brazil, with a branch of olive by her side.

The stars, of course, represent the Southern Cross. ‘This medal’ ix the largest, the most beauti- fully engraved and the most expensive ever coined in Brazil. Its weight is 457 grammes, or nearly one pound. It is 78 millimeters in diameter and 634 in thickness. ‘The choicest of the many Brazilian woods was selected as the material for the case, und a beautiful box of the ‘‘Canella” wood was made. It is double lined with satin, representing the colors of the two republics. Driving His Family Out In the Cold. Daniel B. Lyons, « laborer who ix employed by the gaslight company, appeared in the Police Court today in answer to a charge of threats preferred against him by his wife.

Foot Ball Game Collapses. The big free stand on the eastern side of Eastern Park, Brooklyn, farthest from the grand stand, suddenly collapsed at the foot ball game yesterday at noon, carrying down with it its entire loadof ,human beings. The crash came without any warning whatever, and at the time the long rows of bleachers were closely packed with spectators. It is estimated that there were more than 2,000 people in the structure at the time. ‘MANY BADLY HURT. The occupants were mostly men, a great ma- jority of them students from Yale and Prince- ton. There were also many women in the crowd. They all lay in aconfased and strug- gling mass upon the ground. At first it was feared that some might have been killed, but this fear proved to be unfounded. A great many persons, however, were very severely hurt, and broken limbs and bruised “heads and bodies were numerous. A lot of boys, a dozen or more, names not learned, who stood upon the top row of the bleachers, were badly bruised and cut. ‘The only ladies who were hurt were two Brooklyn women, one of whom had her foot ernshed and the other her leg bruised. The stand was evidently in a most unsafe con- dition, for the broken timbers ehowed that many of them were nearly rotted in_ two, while the whole structure was the most flimsy affair imaginable. It was reported that bets were made quite early at odds of five to one that the stand would go down before the game was over. The greatest indig- nation prevailed among the people in the grounds against the management of Eastern Fark, ‘and the, blaine was all pat upon those officers. Every one claimed that a very superficial examination of the structure would have shown that it was utterly insufficient to support the crowd which would occupy it. ‘THE INSURED. Among those who were treated on the Rrounds and afterward taken away were: Charles Wilson of 403 Downey street, Brooklyn, ankle dislocated; Cadets John Aquillar and Perin Dalney of the Military Instituteat Pecks- kill, two young lads, backs "badly sprained and bruised: Emery B.

Mr. Parnell has hitherto been quiet, but he is now determined to take the field, and will immediately issue a manifesto to his Cork con- stituents. “A movement is on foot to hold meetings throughout Ircland on Sunday next for the purpose of expressing confidence in Mr. Parnell. The priests are opposed to the scheme. Mr. Timothy Healy arrived in Lon- don yesterday from Dublin, and at once pro- eceded to the house of commons, where his appearance on the scene was hailed with great satisfaction by his colleagues. When the house met at 3 o'clock Mr. Healy at once joined Mr. Parnell in the library and remained for some time in consultation with him. The figures in the division of the first reading of the Irish land-purchase bill in parliament last night were 268 in favor and 117 against. This division created a good deal of comment, as the majority was much larger than was ob tained by the same bill at the last session. This difference was largely due to the fact that Mr. Parnell and about a dozen of his followers, in- cluding Mr. E. Harrington and John O'Connor Power, voted for the government. A number of Parnellites supported the Laboachereamend- ment to the bill, but a majority of the party, including Sexton and Healy, abstained from voting. It is held by Parnell's friends that his support was extended to the government in consequence of Balfour's con * to his iew in reference to the holdings to be dealt with in the bill. The Gladstonians, however, believe this altered attitude to be due to resent ment of Gladstone's action. ‘The latest developments in the Irish political crisis indicate that under the advice and lend- ership of Parnell the Irish party will cut loose from the liberal party and fight its own battle for home rule. | During the vote on an amend- ment to the Irish land bill Gladstone and other ading liberals left the house, while Parnell and his friends voted with the government. A Slight Fire. Yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock, the mem- bers of several fire companies were called out to extinguish flames in the house of Mr. Frederick Gheen, No. 2013 H street northwest. The fire was caused by the water pipes being overheated and damage to the amount af $150 was sus- tained. The loss was covered by insurance. = sear alee Baltimore and Potomac Earnings.

Wednesday evening while on his way home, the gencral stumbled over the debris at 14th and G streets, where railroad tracks are being laid, and, fall- ing heavily, struck on the left side of his head.

The superintendent said that Adams had verified certain facts which made it clear to him that much of the in- formation published in reference to the sup- posed discovery of Charley Ross was a tissue of Mitehoods, “The young iuan in prison at Low ton,” said Mr. Byrnes, “is not Charley Ross. Willie Tate, the chum of Charley McChristy, the supposed Charley Ross, says that many of the statements accredited to him are false. He never made them. I am perfectly satisfied,” continued Mr. Byrnes, “that there is nothing in the case, and that the person who gave out the story lied.” Mx. Christian K.
