The score was 6 to3and the other side won by timely batting. Washington bad the game in hand for seven innings and a half and then it slipped away through the poor work of Car- sey, who aione is rexponsibie for the defeat. He bad pitched splendid ball for seven innings, and then, in the eighth, he gave two men base on balls and allowed the succeeding batters to touch him up for four rattling singles. Nine men went to bat in the inning. Weyhing was the other pitcher, and he did good work, keep- ing the Washington hits well scattered after the rst inning. Ths Athistics wore alittle rocky in the fleld work at first, while the Senators played splen- dadly all through, Ting Sutcliffe, who caught and whose two wild throws cost as many runs. Hatfield made the only other error, but it did et count. WASHINGTON SCORES IN THE FIRST. Washington started in to score in the first inning. With Murphy out on a hard fy to Cross in right, Dowd put up aay which Hall- man muffed and stole second, scoring on Griffin's nice sin nter, which MeTamany je to let go by him. Sutclitles nasty bounder to Larkin proved a safe bit and Grifin rested on third. Muivey made « wonderful catch of Me- Guire’s fou! to the new bleachers on the north, sending Sutcliffe to second, and with two men oa bases McCauley showed bis inability to bat ‘and bit to short. In the se-ond the Athletics tied the score. With two o: ‘orcoran hit to left for a base, was sent to third on a wild pitch and tallied on Suteliffe's poor throw to catch him napping. Washington tock the lead in the third, sc one on Murphy's sin Hathuan, who m ing sale oue to lett by Hallman on the throw ‘fr er to second Of Sutcliffe’s little ball gave Griffin third and Suteliffe second, but McCauley und McGuire Went out and no other runs were scored. MeGuire’s out was on strikes. Thenceforth the teams went out in order until the eighth. Poor base running robbed Washington of runs in the fourth, tifth and sixth imnings, double plays being made then that shut out the side after hits had been se- eured. But the worst agony came in the seventh, when the bases were full, with one man out, and no onecould tally. Hatfield went to first on balls and to second on Alvord’s acci- dental bunt-single over Larkin’shead. Carsey, who batted witl#the grace and indifference of & blind cow, struck out and Murphy filled the bases by being hit. Dowd hada great oppor- tunity, but he did not see it, and bis bail going ‘to Corcoran sufficed to get Hattield put Out at the plate. Grittin, having batted in two Fons already, was not equal to the task of ecor- ing any more and his fly was taken by Hallman. ‘Teo hits in succession put. the Atitletics in Position to score in their halt, but Corcoran ‘was too greedy to get around on Mulvey’s liner to left and he came to grief when Murphy put the ball back. Then the nexttwo men went out on flies. Each side scored in the eighth. but the vis- itors scored more than the Senators. Twomen were out for Washington. McTamany had made s wonderful cuich of MeGuires fly, Hatfield Alvord hit » grounder to Cor- goran, who snapped the ball to Hallma MeCauley scored while the bail was bein ered from the center field. Hatfield reached third and Alvord second. Cursey was as weak as ever at the bat and hit to Corcoran. ‘THE ATHLETICS GO AMEAD. He out-did himself in the latter half, sending the first two men to first on bails. Then Larkin and Milligan hit to left for a single apiece. and | Hallman put out to Alvord, who threw Milligaa | out at second. ‘Three runs were in and the visitors had a lead, bus this was not enough. Corcoram smashed a bail at Carsey, which hit him on the shin, and it was safe, while Car: limped to the bench. He stayed in the game, however, and gave Mulvey a chance to fatten bis record. Jack lined her out to leit center a base, and then the next two men flied to the ninth Murphy led off with a two- to left center, but he could not go any than second, as Wood made a great catch of Dowd’s long foul fly, and, after Gri had been purposely sent to first on balls, Sut- chffe flied to Wood and MeGuire popped up a little foul to Milligan. Washington ma:ie nine hite and three errors aud the Aihietics eight hits and five errors. ¢ | OTHER GAMES saTUEDAT. t.

Carroll for the discovery and restitution of @ shawl the respondent has fiied his answer by Joseph Shillingtonand T. M. Fields. Hestates that after drawing @ tooth for her for which she did not pay sho in April, 1989, came td him to havea number of tecth drawn and a piate and new teeth made, and he refused to do the work. She then told him that she expected through a bill pending in Congress to obtain a large sum of money, and she could not go before the committee having the bill in charge till her teeth were fixed. He still refused. Then she pro; to give him her note for the amount and to leave a camel's hair shawl as security for the payment, and at her urgent solicitation be accepted her proposition and did the work. He denies ail the other allegations, asserts that the work wasskilifully done, and the Price was reasonable; denies that the shawl was Worth more than $25. He states that he left the note in bank till after it was due, and not hearing from her after he retired from busi- ness he sold the shawl to Mrs. C. E. Hooker for £25, its full value. He states she subsequently asked for the shawl to raffle it off and he told her he had sold it and offered her the difference between the face value of the note and the sum recetved. He further says she came to his office in November, 1990, and acted in a disorderly manner. and’ he has since been told that she is engaged in unfawful practices and bas no veracity or reputation. it BRITAIN’S PENSION FRAUDS. Milustrated by the Pretty Case of the Duke of ‘St. Albans, ‘Special Cable Dispatch to the N. ¥. Herald. Loxpox, August 15, 1891.—One by one the old legacies of the corrupt days of English government’ are disappearing. When George was king nearly all the members of par: ment expected to have valuable offices or sine- cures conferred upon them, and few were dis- appointed. Some got only one, some got five or six. A little earlier in history the custom was to reward obsequious followers or the children of the king’s mistresses with perpetual pensions. Many of them have been paid down to our own day. To one of these it bas been my lot to call the attention of the house of com- Mons on several o ions during the last few . and a very considerable body of public inion has been evoked against it in conse- quence. the complete facts were brought out by me before a parliamentary committee of which I Was a member, r Reginald Welby, chief per- of the treasury, being under ation at the time. In reply to my ques- he gave an ofticial and indisputable ac- count of the affair, though cautiously and un- willingly. The dukes of St. Albans are descended from Nell Gwynn, and Charles II not only bestowed 4 title upon Nell’s son, but gave him an office, master of the hawks, with a salary of £2,000 a year. ‘There was provision for baying hawks, supplying them with pigeons for food, employ: ing falconers and so forth, and these charges were actually being paid down to this very year. L asked Sir Reginald Welby whether any hawks were kept there or pigeons bought for their sustenance. and he replied he “believed” not. But the present Duke of St. Albans has not hesi- tated todraw the money by quarterly pay- ments, and I took the liberty of denouncing it iu the house of commons as a case of barefaced blackmailing and fraud. facials ite Some of the treesury offic! appeared horrified at my plain speaking, bat, the house of commons gave expression to its very decided approval, and hence it was brought home to the treasury people that the pension must come | toanend. but now Sir Reginald Welby in- formed me that, so far as he was concerned, it would have to be paid forever und ever. Par- liament, however, can do anything, and it be- came perfectly clear that parliament meant to tackle this bequest of the “Merry Monarch” to one of his illegitimate children.” Since parlia- ment rose last week an arrangement has been made with the Duke of St. Albans by which he is to receive an annuity of £2,000 a year for ten years and then all payments are to cease. Of course this is better than going on paying the pension forever, but it is a most extravagant sertle: n my opinion. ‘The duke is not morally entitled to claim a singie shilling of the nation, yet he is to receive £20,000. Li parliament were in session I should feel it my duty to ask for its opinion on the question. Men who fought at Lucknow, Bala- Kiava aud Jukerman are allowed to go to the work house or starve on a shilling a day; the Duke of St. Albaus canstili draw £40 a week for feeding hawks which have no existence. We have rendered all future jobs of this kind quite impcssible by a resolution of the house ef commons, proposed by the late Charics Bradiangh and seconded "by ‘me, forbidding perpetual pensions to be conferred under any pretext whatever. Several of these pensions still remain, but they were given for military or naval services, and therefore the nation does uot object to them. There 18 one of £2,000 u year to the descendants of Lord Nelson. Until a few years ago @ pension of £4,000 a year was paid to tue descendants of William Penn, not for his work in Pennsylvania, but for some supposed Josses he had sustained for which the Euglish government was believed to owe reparation. ilis pension wascommuted for one payment down of £103,000, and as no one ever knew who Penn's descendants were it cannot be said the treasury behaved in a niggardly manuer. Such’ halcyon days of the pension mongers Will return ‘no more. It is still possible, how- ever, for transactions of this nature to be con- ducted “under the rose.” A gentleman is moved out of a government office because the place is wanted for somebody eise; he must be compeusated and a large pension is settled upon him for life. ut these operations have now to be conducted with great secrecy and care. No government could afford to be openly mixed 4p with them. ‘The disappearance of the St Albans pension this week is « sign of the times that the national house is being swept and gar- nished ere the democracy step in and take full possession. A Membax or Pamtiameyt. Colored Colonization of Mexico. W. H. Ellis of Texns, who is concerned in the scheme to colonize # large number of southern negroes in Mexico, is in Chicago. Speaking of the plan yesterday he said he believed that if = few negroes were to colonize a state in Mexico they would own {t in five years and be as pros- perousas Americans. “The project is favora- bly received by all but colored politicians, be- cause today,” said Ellis, “we are suffering more in the south than at any time since the days of slavery.” Ellis thinks the lous of a large num- ber of colored laborers would do more than anything else to solve the race problem in the th. ‘The concessions which have been ob- tained from the Mexican government embrace lands in the states of Vera Cruz, Queretaro,San Lucis Potosi and Oaxoca, In cotton, Ellis as- serts, the colonists will have the benefit market price almost double that of the U: tates. ‘The cotton is perennial there, he says, and not planted every year, ashere, and half a bale an acre more can be raised. Ellis says that he already bas the names of 6,000 people who desire to go from various southern states. ——s00 Wreck on the Union Paeifie. ‘The Union Pacific railroad had one of the Worst wrecks it hashad in years yesterday near Brighton, Col, nineteen miles from Denver.

Turning into Harrison street he ran up on the north pave- ment, palled tho buggy between two awning osts, broke the chair on which Thomas Gray ada moment before been sitting and came to ‘8 dead stop in front of Dodge's stable. AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. A good deal of excitement was occasioned Inte Saturday afternoon by the reports of a istol isuing from the house of Mr. Ballinger in Hillsdale. Upon investigation it was found that Allen Larman, a tapper in the water de- artment, bad shot himself through the nose. rman married Miss Ballinger about a year ago and they have been unhappily mated. “The police have received frequent calls owing to lomestic rows. Larman has been drinking hard for months and it is believed that drink and domestic infelicity caused him to attempt suicide. Drs. Pyles and Watson rendered pro- fessional aid. Only one of the shots fired took effect and the wound is slight. NOTES. Rev. 8..N. Tucker of Washington preached at the M. E. Church last night from the third chapter of Acts, “Repent you and be converted, that your sins mav be blotted out.” ‘Thornton Burrell, colored, aged seventeen years, was arrested yesterday by Officer W.

The earth cracked open all over a four- acre tract. Some fishermen had left a fire burning, and natural gas escaping was set on fire, burning for several days. At that time the water from the river shat off the flow of gas and the fire went out. Since that time and until recently there has been no disturbance, but Monday night the near residents were aroused by a low, murmuring noise in that di- rection. During’ all Saturday aud yesterday there was thrown high in theair from the fissure in the river water and stones. It is not known. how wide the fissure is, as it is at the bottom of the river. So far the escaping gas has been prevented from being ignited. ‘The inhabi- tants in that part of the state are alarmed. —+o-—____ Russian Sealers Taking Seals. A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that, according to recent Russia advices from East- ern Siberia, the Russian sealers have already captured a considerable quantity of skins in the waters controlled by the Russian govern- ment and there is no apparent cessation in their operations. The authorities are k ing a keen lookout for trespassers in the Russian jurisdiction, and so far several have been chased, but none captured. The scaling season hag been excellent, no diminution in the number of seals being appurent. The Russians apparently feel under no obligations as to an agreement between Great Britain, and it is rumored on semi-official authority that no con- fidence is placed by the czar's representatives in Exstern Siberia in the good faith of the American Sealing Company, which, thoy claim, is taking advantage of the proviso allowing them to capture a certain number of seals to take all the seals they can get. ‘The Russians, therefore, have been going ahead with their seal fixhing as usual under the Russian flag, and with entire independence of any other national arrangement. ——+e+—___ ‘Trotting Meeting at Chicago.

The Paris Eclair, which is nut given to sen- sationalism, prints the following story as con- firmed by unquestioned authority: On the night following the departure of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from England the crew was beaten to quarters and was sur- prised to find the quarter deck brilliantly il- luminated. An altar had been erected on the deck bearing the Old and New Testaments, and the kaiser stood by wearing a white chasuble, with acrozier in his hand andablack and white miter on his head. He read the most warlike passages from the Testaments and in- vited the crew to respond. He then preached along sermon on the duty of sovereighs to their people, the whole service lasting from 11 p.m: te2um. The crew was then piped be- low. At 5 am. tho kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uniform of a high admiral, looking ex- tremely haggard, and, addressing the com- mander, said: “Sir, retire to your cabin; I shall take charge.” ‘The cortmander replied: “Sire, permit me to observe that we are in a dangerous passage and it is advisable, for your majesty’s safety as well as for that of the crew, thata sailor remain in command.” he emperor responded: “Never mind, God will inspire me.” ‘The commander bowed and rotired. The second officer remaining, the emperor angrily bade him retire, the officer respectfully pro- testing. The emperor then said: ‘You resist, wretched creature. You trouble the spirit of God which isin me. This is the vengeance of Ggd upon you,” dealing the officer a heavy blow on the cheek. "The officer turned crimson, but remained until the emperor seized him by the throat and tried to throw him overboard. In the struggle that followed the emperor fell and broke his kneecap. The sailors watched the scene paralyzed with fear. The occurrence was one that cannot be forgotten. The emperor howled with pain. His eyes started from their sockets. He foamed at the mouth. He swore terribly, and in fact dis- played all the symptoms of madness. The offi- cers, after a brief consultation, carried him into 's cabin padded with mattrosses. Nobody was permitted to enter except the doctor and the empress. Men were necessary to help re- strain him until his leg was bandaged and a strait jacket was put on him. ‘The crisis lasted three days. ———— CROSSED THE OCEAN FOR HIS LOVE. The Granddaughter of Sir Charles Tapper Elopes With a Young Englishman. Quite a romance attaches to the marriage of Christian Hamilton Gray of Abbeywood, Kent, England, and Miss Sophie Tupper Cameron, daughter of Maj. Gen. Cameron, commandant of Royal Military College, and granddaughter of Sir Charles Tupper. which occurred on Fri- day last in St. Paul's Church, at Kingston, Ont. A lawyer, clergyman and two cabmen were the only witnesses. Miss Cameron some time ago met Mr. Gray in England, where he was a civil engineer. He was young and wealthy, but the major general objected to his becoming the husband of his daughter and Miss Cameron was forthwith brought home to Canada. But the ocean that divided the continents could not separate their loves. Mr. Gray soon took ship for Canada and began arrangements for the marriage. Last Friday Miss Cameron quietly left her home and came down town, where acabman met her. A block away Mr. Gray was picked up and the two drove to the church where Rey. W. Johnson united them in marriage. Mr. Gray settled a_large annuity upon his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Gray are at the Hctel Frontenac. “Maj. Gen. Cameron has been notified of their marriage, but whether the stern parent has relented or not canrot be learned. Mr. Gray is about thirty years of age, refined and educated. He refuses to state his arrangements for the future. His father is interested in electric lights in Kent. +e. JOE EMMET’S LULLABY. How He Sang It ton Pretty Chila in the Audience. From the New York Sunday Advertiser. “I never saw an audience so much interested in anything Joe Emmet ever did,” said Gen. George F. d’Utassy of Baltimore, ‘as dn one occasion some years agoat the Grand Opera House in Philadelphia. “Mrs. Alexander Comstock, wife of Manager Comstock of New York, and Mrs. Dougherty, wife of Hughey Dougherty, the minstrel, oc- cupied seats well up toward the stage. Mrs. Dougherty had her two-year-old daughter, Evalina, with her, a sweet and handsome child. Isat not far from them and remarked the striking beauty of the little girl Evalina hud been speaking of Emmet as “My Mr. Emmet,” although at that time I think she had never seen him. “Before the curtain went up she kept prat- tling about ‘My Mr. Emmet,’ and in spite of remonstrances from her mother she still in- isted on this point. She was deeply interested in the play as it progressed and when the com- edian in’ singing his famous ‘Lullaby’ struck the line, Lena, my darling, little Evalina jumped to her feet on the seat upon which she sat, clapped her chubby hands and cried out gleefully, ‘Oh, my Mr. Emmet! my Mr. Emmet!” “Emmet s attention was attracted to the child at once, and coming down to the foot lights he shook his finger at her, and with a merry twinkle in his eyes sang’ the lullaby direct to her, while little Evalina stood up on the se: the'picture of delighted babyhood. ‘The au: ence was immensely interested, and many in the rear of the house stood up to catch a xight of the litde girl to whom Emmet was singing his sweet and tender song. It was an inspira. tion for him, and I never heard him sing better. When he finished the applause was deafening, and broké out again and again as Emmet stood there, apparently oblivious of every one else, throwing kisses to Evalina,who was just as rnp turously throwing kisses to him.” ————_~e+—____ NORFOLK’S HEAVY Loss. Fire in the Business Portion of the City Causes $250,000 Damage. A fire in the business portion of Norfolk, which started at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, destroyed over €250,000 worth of property. The fire originated in the warehouse of the Norfolk Storage Company, at Church and Water streets, and burned down Water street towithin o few doors of Market square. All the buildings on Division street in the rear of the Water street property were also burned. N.

It Will Include a Fishing Trip to Judge McAdam's Lake Echo. , The arrangement for President Harrison's visit to Saratoga is that he will go there from Bennington on Thursday morning by the Fitch- burg railroad, and go immediately, and with- out formal reception or escort, to Mount Me- Gregor, where, in the afternoon of that day, 4 birthday dinner will be given to the President by W. J. Arkell. To this dinner fifty invite- tions have “been issued to prominent public men, nearly all residents of the twentieth congress district. On Friday, as soon af possible after break- fast, President Harrison, as the guest of Judge George McAdam, will go fishing in Echo lake, a beautiful body of water owned by the judge, and lying near the base of the mountain, about three miles from its summit. Thislake abounds in bass. Dinner that day will be served in a grove on the lnke shore. ‘To the mountain and on this fishing excursion the President will be grcompanied by Private, Secretary Halford, . Boyd, assistant general uger agent ol the Vermont Central railroad, 3 Rassell Harri- son, W. J. Arkell and a few friends whom that gentleman and Judge McAdam may invite. At 3:30 on Friday afternoon the President will leave Mount MeGgegor by special train. On reaching Saratoga, at 4 o'clock, he will be met and welcomed by Village President D. H. Lobnas and by a large procession of military and civic societics and citizens and escorted directly to the Grand Union Hotel, where, after making a spoech from the piazza, public re- ception wil be held. Mr- James G. B. Wool- worth, proprietor of the Grand Union, has re- served an elegant suite of rooms for the use of President Harrison daring bis stay there;which, itis now understood, will be until Tuesday morning, August 25, on which day, under es- cort of Secretary Proctor, the President will start on a four days’ tour through Vermont. ——— ee HIS WIFE WAS A WAITRESS. A Hotel Scene Involving » Runaway Wife and s Pursuing Husband. Mis»Huldah Chamberlain came to Scranton from Sullivan county four months ago and hired out as a waitress in » hotel there. She was handsome, neat, spry and bright, and be- fore many weeks she became the most popular girl in the house emong the guests. The other waiter girls got envious of Miss Chamberlain's popularity. They did many things to make her sick of the hotel, but they didn’t succeed in driving her from it. Instead of resenting their tricks and snubs Miss Chamberlain treated them all with kindness, and eventually they became ashamed of themselves and acted friendly toward her. Last Wednesday evening the head waiter seated a black-whiskered man at one of the tables and motioned to Huldah to wait on him. Miss Chamberlain waiked up behind the man and reached for a goblet to ill it with water be- fore she took his order. As she did so the man glanced upather face, instantly grabbed her by the wrist and said in'a tone loud enough to be heard ull over the root “So you're here, are you? Well, you won't be here this time tomorrow. You didn’t think Td find you, but I have.” Miss Chamberlain tried to yank herself away, and the man arose from his chair and grabbed her by her other wrist. Many of the guests stood up and the girls drew near, thinking that the stranger was crazy. “Miss Chamberlain struggled to free herseif from the man’s grasp, but he held her tight, and just then the land- lord rushed in and told the man to let the girl alone. He released Huldah immediately ahd the landlord invited the stranger and Huldah to follow him to his private sitting room. They did so, and as soon as they were in the room the landlord asked the stranger: “What business, sir, had you to seize this girl in the way you did?” “Because sho's my wife,” said the man. “She ran away from me tix months ago and I have been looking for her ever since. She left me without cause and I’m going to take her back home with me.” “Huldah, is this man your husband?” asked the landlord. “He was once,” said Miss Chamberlain,” but Cllnever lve with him it James C. Potter, and he ship, Sullivan county. We were married three years ago. Iam twenty-two and he is seven Jour clic. He degraded me in every way he conld think of, just because my folks were poor and his well off. I stood it aslong as I could and then I left him. I was always true to thi man, and Ihave been true to myself since I got away from him.” Potier denied everything the girl said, and once more told her that she had got to pack up her things and leave the house with him that night. Huldah declared that she would do nothing of the kind and the landlord ordered es to leave the hotel right away, which he i Huldah said afterward that she and Potter became engaged four yearsago, She was work- ing at the farm house of Orrin B. Moore at the time. Mr. Moore and his faiily were away for two weeks that summer, and Potter looked after the farm while they we: ————+-e+ —_____ Crushed by a Falling Elevator, By the falling of a freight clevator at Libby, MeNeill & Libby's canning establishment at the stock yards in Chicago Saturday night William Clark and John Budawasch were fatally injured and John Gilbert seriously hurt. Gilbert was in charge of the machine. He had been called to the second floor and there received a load of trucks and heavy pans. Atthe next floor above the big wire rope snapped and the heavy load shot downward. The car rebounded upward about ten feet. Clark's legs were broken and he was also injured internally. Budawasch's left leg was broken and his spine so injured that his recovery is doubtful. Gilbert's arms and legs were crushed but he will recover. ——— cee. More Trouble for Blair. From the New York Sun. If the report is true that the Hon. Henry W. Blair has been chosen to succeed our present accomplished minister at St. Petersburg, the Hon. Charles Emory Smith, it will be interest- ing to understand what Mr. Blair thinks of the government to which he is to be accredited. ‘The unfortunate gentleman's opinion of China and the Chinese is already quite gener- ally known. Mr. Blair has expressed his views concerning Russia and the Russian government with a frankness peculiar to his intellectual make-up and moral temperament. He regards the Rus. sian people as. nation of drunkards, men and women, and he has directly accused ‘the ezar's government of encouraging drunkenness in or- jer to profit by the tax on brandy. We quote from page 249 of the Hon. Henry W. Blair's literary masterpiece, “The ‘Ti a ance Movement, or the Contlict Between Man and Alcohol,” a bulky volume published by sub- scription in 1888, a copy of which has no doubt found its way to the shelves of the vast Impe- rial Library in the Nevski Prospekt: “The tax on brandy is the most important item of Russian revenue, and the are en- couraged to consume it in order that the gov- ernment may get the tax. ‘The result may bo imagined. Here is tho most numerous, if not the most powerful, nation in Europe, with 80,000,000 of people. In 1887 the revenues were $100,000,000 in round numbers, of which $40,000,000 were derived from brandy. Wil- liam Hewett is autnority for this, and observes that ‘temperance societies have never been able to take root in Russia.’ In December, 1882, a correspondent of the London Times wrote that ‘intemperance is growing so fast as to oo- casion grave anxicty among public men of all classes. The evil affects all classes, and is even rife among the other sex.’” Whether a government #0 sensitive as that of Russia ig likely to welcome with delight and cordiality the eminent thinkor and moralist who hes publicly charged it with driving its subjects into delirium tremens for the sake of the revenue from fiery liquors can be con- jectured by any person of ordinary intelli- gence. It looks as if it might be difficult for Prosi- dent Harrison to get the Hon. Henry W. Blair comfortably out of this country. ‘Thinks the Sentence Too Light. A special from San Antonio says: Brig.

And the wider the publicity the better, other things being equal. He might just as well put the money he pays for advertising into an old stock- ing and bury it in the back yard as to print his inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whose ‘attention he aims to attract. What he should use, therefore, is THE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PERSONS LIKELY TO ‘WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir- culation that telis,es well as its extent. ‘That, indeed, is the vital factor in the Problem the advertiser has to solve, Sen- eational and scandalous cess-pool jour- nals, that are chiefly circulated in the slums of @ city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do have avery considerable circulation, as the number of copies printed and handled indicate, but they are merely glanced at to see whether the new scandal is worse than the old one, and then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently worth nothing to the man or woman whose aim 1s to reach reputable and responsible peo- ple with such business announcements as they may desire to make. What is needed in such @ case is anen- terpiising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one ‘that cansafely be put in any hands, whose contents tell the whole world’s news story of today, (not of last week or yesterday) and which is eagerly and profitably read from beginning to end every day by every member of the household, from its dual ‘|| nead down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies anc childrea of the family. Such e journal is THE EVENING STAR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of circulation within the field it occupies in greater degree than any other paper in the world. In these respects it is @bso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it. in Verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURE! For the six months ending with the 30th of June last THE STAR'S average daily circulation was 34,064. For ® popula tion of 250,000 this aggrogate is some- thing phenomenal, even where the city of publication is surrounded by prosperous end populous villages and thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of that size are. In this respect, however, ‘Washington differs from other cities. She 1s practically isolated, having few outly- ing towns subordinate to her or identified ‘with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR is, consequently, almost en- tirely a HOME CIRCULATION, with larger percentage of the whole output regularly delivered by carriers at the res- idence of permanent subscribers within ‘the city where printed than any other paper that can be named, no matter in ‘what city or country the same may be printed. This is demonstrated by the fol lowing daily average UNPARALLELED SHOWING: Served by carriers in the city, - - 23,377 Miscellaneous sales, over coun- ter, by news stands, news-boys, we, = - - - - = + on By mail to outlying poimta, - -- 1,415 Total - - - = + + 34,064 There is no mistake or misstatement ebout these figures. They are substan- tiated under the solemn obligations of an oath, and they may be further verified by an examination of the books of the office and inspection of its press and delivery rooms on the part of any person having interest in the correctness of the exhibit. Few newspapers are willing to submit to eo trying an ordeal. But THE STAR does it cheerfully. It has nothing to con- ceal, and no motive for exaggeration. The ‘truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is its business motto. As THE STAR in- sists on its right to know how many pounds of ink it gets when it buys e barrel of that article,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its prese rooms, so it is willing that its advertising patrons shall know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of publicity they are getting when ‘they put en announcement in its columns, It claims to be THE one Washington pe- per that is taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es- pecially by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are able to pay for them, and it is willing to have its claims sub Jected to the most exhaustive anc conclu- sive tests that can be devised. In other ‘words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY Cik- ‘eis | TIMES AS LARGE AS THAT OF ANY ‘Pa er Colas sarery sicrcce OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF LS a CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREE bos ITS READERS IN THE CITY IS FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER. ~ ‘These are the qualities that constitute
