Wasmrxatox Gnove, August 21, 1891. Whatever has been or may be hereafter, yes- terday was unquestionably the grest day of the feast at the Washington Grove camp meet- ing. It wasa good, gladsome, glorious time. ‘The forenoon sermon, by Dr. Thirlkeld of the Fifteenth Street Church, was well received by as congregation augmented by a tair contingent of county folks and not s few arrivals by rail- roads from the city. ‘The children’s service at 2 o'clock held a grest many oldsr people about the auditorium, but an overflowing congregation was to be seen at the First Avenue Chapel, where some elect ladies holding @ praise and testi- mony meeting. Mra Judge Clarke of the Metropolitan Church gracefully presided at this service, with Miss Townsend at the organ. At3o'clock im the afterfoon the home and foreign missionary meeting assembled in the auditorium, that in the busy hands of a live committee, strongly aided by the younger ple, grown into a scene of beauty and ighthoss. Flags, palms, blooming | plants winging baskets and bird cages transtorme the platform, and a handsome Maltese cross swung in mid air greeted the eye pleasautly as the emblem of the Epworth League. “Thou Wilt Defend Us,” sung as a voluntary by the choir, was the signal for the senting of the congregation,and every seat was filled when Dr. H.-R. Nailor announced the missionary hymn. Psalm xlv and Revelations vii were clearly snd forcibly read by Mrs. T. H. Martyn of Hamline and prayer was offered by Mrs. G. L. Clarke. i ‘Miss Ida Minor, in the quaint and sweetly simple dress of the Desc: + Home, was in- troduced and made a happy impression by her aceful words and winsome face. The elder followed in # neat address ou the foreign work. Dr. E. 8. Todd wasaway attending a funeral. Dr. J. N. Dalby arrived at 4 o'clock and was presented tothe enthusiastic audience. He talked earnestly and well of the work of the Lucy Webb Hayes Home and Training School, of which he is the superintendent, and of the work to be done by it. Seated on the platform were Mrs. Dr. Street CLICK, CLICK, CLICK-CLICK. Reunion of the Telegraphers at National Rifles’ Hall. & VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE GATHERING—THOSE VISIBLE IX CONSTANT COMMUXICATION WITH ‘THOSE INVISIBLE—MANY PLEASANT SPEECHES ‘MADE—CONGRATULATORY MESSAGES. There were visible at the reunion of the old- time and military telegraphers at National Rifles’ Armory last night about two hundred and fifty persons—veteran operators—with the wives of some and some of their friends accompanying them. There were many others Participating in the reunion who were not visible, but who were in touch with andex- changed greetings with their fellows. Mingled with the sound of the voices during general conversation and accompanying the speeches of gentlemen from the platform, a mysterious, | soft clicking sounded constantly through the hall. Now and then someone would stop short in an animated conversation to lend an ear to this sound and would smile and nod his head in away to indicate that be had received some pleasant communication. Sometimes there would bea general hush as all the telegrapbers present turned attention for » moment to the “click, click, click-click-click.” * ‘THE MYSTERIOUS CLICK, CLICK. Somehow this sound scemed to enter into and be a part of the assemblage,to strongly in- fluence it as some mysterious force not visible, but manifest. To those present to whom this sound conveyed no intelligence its effect upon the others seemed strange, as of some super- natural agent. The pulses of the old timers beat with thesound and soon there was a conscious- ness of an intercommunication of thought with out sound among the assemblage as well as through the faint and monoto: i click, click, click-click-click.” One'man would tap his neighbor gently on the shoulder or knee, or perhape on the back of the hand, genily keeping time in measures similar to that marked by the clicking, and this light-fingered tcuch would be passed on, and without a sound or a look passing between them, the thoughts of a dozen or more men thus put under the spell would rur: on exactly the same subject, and perhaps all would laugh heartily together, though physically not in juxtaposi- tion. All thia was but an undercurrent of a most enjoyable reception and reunion, not unlike other receptions except in degree of interest. ‘THE CITY OF LEXICO TALKING. Just as one of the speakers was introduced Mr. Ham Young calied attention to the fact that the City of Mexico ‘‘was talking,” and asked for an announcement of the greeting for those who could not catch it from the click. of the board .f directors of the Deaconess Home, Miss Govleasigh, Mrs. H.

As the visitors debarked the waiting column sang “Biles: Be the Tie That Binds,” after which the crowd marched toward the encampment singing “Marching to Zion,” led by Chorister Wilson and Cornetist ‘The chairman, Mr. Maynard, replied that the City of Mexico was just sending greetings, and asked the receiver te read the dispatch. ‘The following message was read: “To the Old Timers and Military Telegraph Corps: The operators in the land of the Monte- zumas send warmest greeting. buexos Nocuss, City of Mexico. Ly the marvel of telegraphy the man at the end of the wire in the City of Mexico was talk- ing with the cperator in the hall and in a mo- ment he was niade aware of the applause with which his greeti was received—alinost as quickly as if he bad been in the hall to hear it. CONNECTED WITH ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. The assemblage here was connected directly by a slender wire traversing plains, mountains, forests and deserts where the foot of man sel- Gian Poole. “While seating the immense con- course the choir sang “In the Secret of His Presence.” Mrs Ida Whittington of the Ham- line choir and Leader Frank Wilson gave won- derful impetus to the music at this service. The openiug remarks of G.W. F. Swartzell, resi-lent of the league, were well chosen and Poipu. iV. Belt of ‘McKendree spoke en- coursgingly of the work there, stating a mem- bersbip of 100. Mr. Geo.

Mra Street represented North Capitol branch and reported a wember- hiy of 100. Mr. W. Wells told of the good rk in Foundry Church. Douglas Memorial has a membership of fifty-two. Grace, repre- sented by Dr. Shannon, is growing. Many te-timonies were spoken by members Of the visiting league and short prayers and de- Votional songs filled in the pauses. ‘The closing hymn, “God Be With You,” was sung and at ¥:30 the asembiy was dismissed by Dr. Naylor and it was with much reluctance that we said good-bye to the brigit throng as they boarded the train at 10 o'clock for Washington. The Visit of the Epworth League was a rich pleasure to young and old. Among the audience were to be seen the faces of Mr. f. H. Martyn, Mr. Weils and wife, Mins Bettic Tomlinson, Mr. Gordon and wite, Mr. Ben Welsh and Mr.’ Fred Gatebell. Mrs. Henry W.

It was a social gutliering, free from formality and necessarily full of interest and enjoyment. ‘The Western Union had placed an instrument on a little table on the stage and an operator at the key was in communication with all parts of the country, so that telegraphers hundreds and thousands of miles away were able to take part in the reunion, WELCOMED BY MR. Mf. Mt PARKER. Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Maynard, presi- dent of the Old-timers’ Association, opened the more formal part of the proceedings by the in- troduction of speakers. Assistant Secretary Nettleton, Assistant Post- master General Whitfield, Assistant Secretary ot War Grant, Assistant ‘Secretary of Agricul- ture Willits, Mr. M. M. Parker and Prof. J. E. Watkins of the National Museum occupied seats on the stage. Mr. M. M. Parker, on the part of the Wash- ington board of trade, welcomed the visitors. He paid a high tribute to the telegraphers, saying that if their work were stopped for a day it would paralyze basmexs, andif for a week would bankrupt the universe. "Referring to the use of the telegraph in war he said that great battles were fought and won by the use of the telegraph. The click of the operator and the crack of the musket did the business, and the click of the operator was generally first. ‘The great confidence reposed in these mon was illustrated in the case of Mr. Rosewater, the new president of the old timers, who was an army operator and was given the countersign of the Army of the Potomac ten days in a vance, a trust not even reposed in any of the great generals. The military telegrapber, said Mr. Parker, had been practically forgotten by the government, while the mule driver was reg- ularly drawing his pension.

Just before his departure for Europe Bishop Vincent expressed to the Associated Press rep- Fesentative his disgust at certain reports of dress reform and said: “Chautauqua is an eda- eational institution. We try to preserve the Propricties of things and never indulge in ex- travagances or eccentricities.

An exciting runaway occurred at Comac near Huntington, LL, yesterday. A team owned by James Smith, attached to a carriage in Which were two Brooklyn ladies, took fright and ran away. The carriage was overturned and the women thrown out and badly injured. One of the women named Schlachter died last evening, the other, whose name has not yet beeu learned, ix not expected te live.

Mr. W. W Burhaus of the United Press then read an interesting paper on the development of telegraphy. ASSISTANT SECRETARY NETTLETON'S ADDRESS. Assistant Secretary Nettleton spoke on behalf of the Treasury Department, which department ad charge of the Morse wire when first com- pleted Letween Washington and Baltimore. He said that he never beard the click of an instra- ment that he did not marvel at the mystery that encompassed it, and the wonder to him was bow the operators could overcome the feel- g of aw the knowledge that they were jealing with that which approached almost to the supernatural. Of all the inventions and discoveries this was the only one in which per- fection had been attained at a single bound. While there had been improvements in meihods, the principle was established at the outset, and it was impossible to excel or surpass’ that which was instantaneous. ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL WHITFIELD. Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield spoke of the intimate association of the postal and telegraph systems, without discussing the subject of portal telegraph. He reminded the operators that they represented a great corpo- ration that held the same confidential relations with the business and the homes of the countr; as was held by the department he represented. ‘The mail and the telegraph were never at rest, and by day and by night. by wire and by rail, messages of joy and sorrow, of business and of pleasure, were flying across the country. It Was 4 position of great responsibility, and the men engaged in it, he said, were men whom he kuew appreciated the trust reposed in them. ASSISTANT SECRETARY WILLITS. Assistant Secretary Willits spoke with much pleacantry and humor of his six weeks’ asso- ciatiou with telegraphy through the weather bureau. He dwelt at length upon the im- portance of telegraphy to that bureau, saying that there could be no weather biireau without it, aud in conclusion referred to the great work of the operators, the subtlety of the force that heeded their commands, and finished by ex- pressing the hope that in the future the gov- ernment would recognize the operators and the work they have done. ASSISTANT SECRETARY GRANT. President Plum of the Military Telegraphers’ Association introduced Assistant Secretary Grant, who made a brief speech in a very happy vein. He spoke in the highest praise of the military services of the ‘telegraph boys,” as be cailed them, saying that there was but little diference between the telegraph line, the line of duty and the line of battle. Dur- ing the war it was generally a race between the operator and the army, and the operator was generally ahead. “I think,” said Secretary Grant, “these boys should be recognizea as soldiers, and recog- nized by this government.” As be concluded the secretary paid tribute to the work of the profession generally and the usefulness of the pimpiictious click, ‘click, aa mysterious as old Pur. 3B.

Business Appears to Be Overdone—Labor a Drug and Living High. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Lowsxt, Wasu., August 15, 1891. It is about a month since we started from Washington for the city of Tacoma. In Mary- land they were threshing wheat, but in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin it was harvested but not stacked. In Minnesota the crops were not gathered, but the promise of a good yield was unsurpassed. Dakota also had an unusual crop. At every station there was alot of new reapers, showing that the people were getting ready for the work. In Montana we saw but few grain fields, otherwise than oats. In cross- ing the state of Washington we were disap- pointed at the barren appearance of the coun- try. Near Spokane there was a few oats, which was all the grain we saw. The country seomed to be suffering from drouth. West of Spokane we spent six hours in crossing a desert where alkali soil sage brush were all that we could see. The dust sifted into the cars in blinding, stifling ciouds and the heat was very trying. About the midale of the afternoon we entered aregion of grassland, which was a refreshing sight after passing through the desert. ‘Shat night we reached Tacoma, which ita fine city. We noticed a great number of bank- ing houses in our strolls about town. The Northern Pacific railroad has {ts terminal offices at this point. ‘The city is built on bluffs rising sharply from Puget Sound. Loaded teams find it difficult to ascend these hills and it is not frequent to see these “tacking” from one side he strect to the other. A great many fine residences adorn the summit of the hills, and more exquisite roses we ever saw, the color was £0 vivid and the plants were very luxuriant. THE CITY OF SEATILE. Three hours of delighiful boat riding brought us to Seattle, which did not seem to us equal to Tacoma in the quality of its buildings. How- ever, it appeared that business was more brisk, and there was certainly a eonsiderable number ef buildings in progress of construction. This city. like ‘Tacoma, contains a great number of street railways, both electric and cable lines. Horses could not pull the cars up the grades, which are very steep. A number of fine hotels are located here, and in the rear of the city is the Deautitul Lake Washington, from which Seattle derives its water supply. ‘This lake 18 quite a summer reaort, where boating, bathing, fishing and similar recreations are indulged. It is cus- tomary to cut timber here from six to ten feet above the ground, so that when a tree is felled there is a tall stump remaining which lasts many years, and these unsightly reminders of former times are thickly strewn over the vacant lots in the suburbs of Seattle and elsewhere. It makes land clearing extremely difficult, for we have ween many stumps which are said to have been in the present condition for twenty years or more and are still sound. Business is said to be overdone in this coun- try, and judging from the appearance of the stores I think this statement is correct. It is easy to forma reason for this commercial de- pression and we think it exists in the fact that the trade of the country is not sufticient to furnish prosperity to ro many ports as have sprung up on Puget Sound. Labor which formerly was in high demand is nowadrug. It is not unusual to see ten or twenty men at a time framping from point to point in search of work. Prices of living are high, which, renders this condition of affairs peculiarly distressing to those of small means who are dependent upon their daily work for bread. We continually meet those who inveigh loudly against newspapers which publish ficti- tious reports of the prosperity of the country and the inducements offered to men of limited means. The consequence is that men are em- ployed daily at small wages while the cost of liv. Ing, as before stated is high. ‘A PROJECTED crTY. From Seattle we went north to a town site of which great things are promised. It is said that wealthy New York capitalists will make this point a great city, and at the present time there are several large manufactories building. The railroad is graded and the boats of the sound stop here. Land in the vicinity has advanced within a year from 10 per acre to $250and $300. One choice acre solu recently at €2,400. Brick yards are starting up, the saw mill is running on full time, and large forces of men are employed in clearing up the fallen timber, sawing down stumps and grading. It coste from £40 to $70 per acre to cicar it of useless timber, and the parties who undertook the job are not making fair — wages, the task is #0 heavy and difficult. The saloons and gam- biers are already well represcnted. Numerous arrivals of gentiemen from the east interested in the venture occur daily. We are at a loss to see why acity should be built at this special point. There are no mines, there is no good hurbor, and the best of the timber bas been cut down and sawed up. The cost of clearing the land is high, and we have not been able to ascertain that it is valuable for agricultural purposes otherwise than for growing crops of cate, hay and potatoes. Corn and wheat do not thrive here. ‘There are a good many grouse in the woods. It 1s not uncommon to kill several on starting a covey as the birds take to trees for protection, and several shots inay be fired without die: turbing those unburt. Deer are scarce, but black bears are said to be quite numerous. The salmon are taken in nets in great number. The catch near Lere yesterday is estimated at 8,000, und these deiicioue fish were sold as low as half a cent per pound. Later in the season salmon are cuugut by’ trol which is a favorite method of capture among the Indians, who still in diminished numbers remain in the vieinity. ‘The Indians have degenerated plysi- cuily and are small in stature. Their canves continue to skim the waters of the sound, how- ever, and they make a living by fishing, hunt- ing and picking hops. We thiukthe scenery here is the finest we have seen. ‘The snow-capped summits of the Cascade range of the Kocky mountains are plainly visibie. Mount Baker is always clad in 4 white mantle. ‘The land descending abruptiy to the waters of Puget sound is covered wiih a dense growth of spruce, firand alder. ‘he dark green forests, clear waters of the bay and wighty mountains combine to make u view a remarkable as it is sublimely beautiful. ‘A great many distinguished people have visi- ted the Puget sound country thisyear and more come each season. Among'the recent urrivals are noted that of Chet Justice Fuller of the Supreme Bench. more delightful summer climate than this it would be ditiicult to find, the air is so cool and invigorating. HBA ee Variations in Stature, From the New York Journal of Commerce. A person is taller in the morning than at night. ‘The reason is that he is pressed down during the day by the weight of the atmos- phere, and by the pressure of the upper parts of his body aud such burdens ashe may carry. These weights press down the cartilages at the jointe, and especially thove in the spinal column, so that the height of the map is re- duced. When the weights are removed and he lies down at night the cartilages act like cushions ané gradually return to their original size. M. Robert reports measurements of 287 persons showing a difference in, height between morning and night measurements of six to twenty millimeters (one-atth to four-fifths of au inch). ‘This fact is well understood among French conscripts, and M. Paul Topinard re ports that some of thom who are just upon or very slightly above the minimum limit as to height wuik about with heavy weights upon their shoulders for several days and during tho night immediately preceding the final meas- urements in order to reduce their heights. This practice bas been so successful that in some extreme caves, according to the same authority, the ht of wman has been ro- duced by it more ¢! an inch. As men ad- vance in age the cartilages do not fully recover during the night from the effects of the day's comp ‘The result of this is that men are commonly not so tall at an advanced age asin middle life. Extreme cases of this, re- ported by M. Teuon, are of a man who had lost one and one-half inches at the age of seventy aud another who had lost one end niac-tenths inches at the age of eighty-five. |p. ROCKVILLE NEWS. The Accident to Capt. Armes—No Bones Broken, but Badly Bruised—Notes. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Capt. C. H. Armes of the District attorney’ office, Washington, met with a painful accident near the railroad station, this place, today. He has been boarding here during the summer and was in the habit of taking an early train for Washington. This morning when he reached the depot his train was pulling out, and being anxious to go he attempted to board it while in motion. He caught to the hand railing of a car, but missed his footing and was dragged some distance and finally thrown with much violence to the track, sus- taining bad bruises about the hips and legs. Luckily in falling he rolled from instead of to the moving train, and was pre- vented from crushed under the wheels. As soon as Capt. Brown, the conductor, saw the accident he at once stopped the train and « crowd of passengers and others from the sta- tion gathered around Capt. Armes, who was mnable to arise without assistance. A carriage was at once called and he was taken to the house of Mfs Hodges, where he boarded, and medical aid summoned. No bones were broken, but he was badly bruised and received a severe nervous shock by his fall upon the track. At latest reports he was resting quietly. Today a ‘colored man giving his name as Sonny Whigby was committed to jail at this place on the charge of breaking into a house on the farm of Mr. John Green near the Tenley- town electric railroad and stealing therefrom a trunk containing alot of clothing, watch, jew- elry, &c. It is learned that the goods were af- terward recovered. Among the guests recently registered at the Corcoran Hotel, this place, are Mrs. Emma Pe- tersonand daughter Anna of Washington. ‘Mr. T. F. MeGarland of Pennsylvania is at present visiting his sister, Mrs. Arthur Stabler, at Sandy Spring. ‘The Forest Glen Sunday school of the Pres- byterian Church at that place enjoyed the leasure of u picnic at Burnt Miils on Wednes- lay, Which was also attended by all the mem- bers of the congregation.

Crowds Throng to See the Holy Coat of Treves. ‘The garment known as the holy coat was ex- posed to view yesterday morning in the cathe- dral at Treves, as stated in yesterday's Stan. Two Knights of Malta, in full costume, with drawn swords in their hands, stood on either side of the shrine inclosing the holy coat case, which was surrounded by tall lighted candles on handsome candlesticks and surmounted by a large gold cross. There was an impressive scene in the sanctuary, over one hundred priests assisting in the ceremonies, which were grand in the extreme. The cathedral was richly decorated for the occasion and was pucked to the doors with peo- ple. Bishop Korum during the course of his address to the asvembied multitude earnestly urged the faithful to unite in venerating the garment from which power and virtue proceed. The nave of the cathedral was then cleared 80 as to enable the municipal authorities aud the parochial sucieties to march up to the shrine of the holy cout and venerate the relic. ‘Much comment has been caused by the re- marks of bishop Korum in his opening ad- dress, when he referred pointedly to the spirit- ual significonce of the holy coat as being 3 seamless vesture aud a symbol of tue unity of the Catholic church. There were many Roman Catholic members of the reichstag present, and itis said that the bishop particularly, and in a manner not to be mistaken, addressed his re- marks to these memuvers. ‘Lhe holy coat is distinctly visible in the body of the cathedral, and is much more plainly seen than upon the former occasion of its exhi- bition. ‘The old silken covering, being almost entirely worn away, appeared to be of a brown- ish yellow color. ‘The scene in the cathedral yesterday was a motley one. Englieh tourists in light tweed suite aud Prussian officers in uniform, stub- Lornly refusing to kneel before the relic, and » bourgeoire citizen in evening dress were prom- inent in the crowd. The service, with the monotonous Gregorian chants and the admiuistration of the eucharist to representative ecclesiastics, seemed of tho character of a mediwval ceremony. Many per- sons were overpowered by their feelings, and several women fainted. ‘The procession of the pilgrims past the shrine, most of whom handed rosary Or crucifix to utteudaut priests for contact with the relic, was accompanied by a low bum of paternosters and aves. Among the pilgrims are aged cripples and sufferers from almost every complaint. ‘There were some scenes of disorder, owing to some- what violent attempts made to guin early ac- cess to the cathedral.

One hundred delegates, representing every organization which claims allegiance to the people's party, met yesterday morning in ‘Trades’ Assembly Hall at Topeka and organized the alliance commercial convention. The work which was outlined will probably keep the con- vention in session for two days. ‘The scheme is a mammoth one, providing for the amalgamation of every business organiza- tion which hes grown out of the farmers’ up- rising in this state. Many of the Alliance men now recognize that there have beer. altegether too many business organizations passing under the alliance name.

Ynfant Jay Plaintiff Against the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company. ‘A peculiar and interesting suit at law, grow- ing out of very unusual and remarkable cir- cumstances, was commenced in the common pleas court in Philadelphia against the Penn- sylvanis Railroad Company to recover $25,000 on beba.’ of John B. Jay and son for injuries sustained by the latter previous to bis advent into this world. ‘The allegation is that on October 4, 1889, three months prior to the child's birth, his mother, Emma B. Jay, in alighting from one of the company’s cars at Powelton avenue station, Philadelphia, was thrown to the platform through the negligence of tho company’s serv- ants, and that she was badly bruised, besides sustaining a very serious nervous shock. i uence of thia shock the condition of the chila was iz Rabeatt is whore the is not withont a parallel In the old practice there are weveral Circamstauces are not together dusimiler, though in the aouete Recs it rather a curious and interesting innovation.

Edward Blair was hanged in the jail yard at Columbus, Obio, at 12:08 this morning for murder. His neck was broken. Though yesterday was the last day on earth for Bisir it passed unnoticed by any perticular incidents, The murderer was very pale, but did not exhibit any signs of weakening. He Passed a slecpless night and marks of the ter- rible strain were borne on his face. Yesterday morning Father Logan baptized him in the Catholic faith and left him ip better spirite. Shortly afterward Chaplain Sutton attended him with prayer and scriptural readings. The remainder of the morning was spent in com- pany with Miss Laura Blair, his sister. Con- versations were directed mainly upon home topics, and the young Indy spent considerable time making bouquets for each of the five con- demned men in the annex. Henry Blair, half brother to the murderer, took the execition more ease, eayii t Ed brot trouble upon himeelf. a At 5p.m. Laura was admitted to the tion room of the annex to bid her brother last farewell. She remained nearly an hour, and Warden Dyer was obliged to send for her. When told that this would be the last oppor- tunity to say good-bye the most pathetic Scene ever witnessed in the institution followed and the strong hearts of the guards wore mo- mentarily sottened, and tears were shed by them. | She hysterically clasped her brother's neck, kissing him and calling his name uver and over again, Suddenly she fell from his arms and caught Guard Stansell around the neck and arm, nearly overpowering him, but soon lay quivering and prostrate in his eup- port. "At this opportunity Blair ‘was removed to the death cage. When the young lady realized that he was fone from her ride for ever,she again went into yaterics, shrieking wildly for assistance. Her cries were heard ut the frout office «cd assist- ants were sent to bring her from the annex. She was placed in the warden sapartmenteand & physician attended her. The prostration was #o severe that she cannot be taken from the Penitentiary before this afternoon. The crime for which Blair paid the penalty heinous one and it 8 fugitive from justice at Hartsberg, Putnam county, Ohio, March 17, 1800. Blair was serving @ seven {eaFe' sentence in the Ohio penitentiary for irgiary, and it became necessary to take him oat to testify against one of his pals. At Manchester he made a daring escape from his guards by jumping from the train. In company with two crooks he went to Hartsberg, where he had planned to rob the station of which Arthur Henry was agent. ‘Tho YewNe agent was summoned to his oftice by ut, who professed urgent business with him. ‘hen he arrived the two pals, Stout and Shoe- maker, remained on the outside and Plair went in. He immediately pulled his revolver and demanded that Henry open the safe. He re- fused aud was shot down in cold blood. Blair went to Parkersburg, W. Va, where be was captured some weeks later.’ His conviction speedily followed and the sentence of death passed to be carried out April 29,1891. He was Tespited until June 7 in order to carry his case to the supreme court and again until August 21 to get it before the pardon board. Each effort failed and tho murder of Arthur Henry is avenged. ———_—_+e+—____ MOLTKE’S HISTORICAL WORK. His Account of the War of 1870 Between France and Russia. The London Times publishes long extracts from Count von Moltke’s history of the war of 1870. Count von Moltke left the manuscript ready for the press, which is therefore pub- lished before bis other posthumous works, al- though it is numbered volume 3. ‘The preface, signed by Count von Moltke’s nephew, explains the origin of the work, as already cabled, add- ing that his uncle began to write itin the spring of 1877 and worked on it three hours a day at Creisau. The count returned to Berlin in the autumn of 1877 and finished the work in Janu- ary, 1988, after which time he never referred toit. He intended it as. a popular account, but in- voluntarily arranged the details in accordance with his own plan of campaign. ‘Thus the work becomes an expression of his opinion of the events of the wur. The book is written in Moltke's clear, terse und pure style. There are no for- eign ‘or Germanized words in it, and it is cer- tain to take the foremost rank ‘in the classic literature of the century. The work is further characteristic of the author's modesty, his own name being mentioned only twice, once as an officer of the king deputed to treat for the sur- render at Sedan, and again as the writer of a letter informing the governor of Paris of the defeat of Aurelle and the occupation of Or- ans. Elsewhere .be is always si py = het of staff.” Seekers of new things will find little to gratify them. The writer closely follows the general staff account, which was largely the work of his own hands. A MAN OF PEACE. In the introduction the writer remarks: “Warfare iy no longer a question of a small profesrional army. Wars at the present day Involve whole nations. There is hardly « fam- ily that does not suffer. ‘The country's whole resources are involved and winter offers no cessation of hostilities.” He expresses the hope thet war, although inevitable, will, in the interest of humanity, become the mote rare as it becomes the more terrible. Proceeding, hestutes that it is no longer the ambition of monarchs that en- dangers peace, but the passions and disuatiafac- tions of peoples and the sirife of parties. Even the bourses’ influence is enough to precipitate war to protect their interests. It follows that Parliaments declare war, the responsibilitios cing more easily carried by an assembly than by an individual. ‘Thus the weak government at the head of our neighboring state must be regarded as a standing menace to peace. CAUSE OF THE Wan. He then explains that the war of 1870 arose from the weakness of Napoleon and the jealousy of the French nation at the success of the Prus- sian armics. France, he says, demanded re- venge for Sadowa. ‘The writer dwelle on thesystematic organiza- tion of the German forces us contrasted with the French want of preparation, the taul and vagueness of the French plas of mobiliza- tion and their worse plans of operation. ‘They should, be says, have adopted the initiative, but their points of concentration pointed rather to a defensive than un offensive attitude. ‘THE PRUBSIAN PLA: Count von Moltke’s plan was to capture the capital as more important in France than in other count In pursuit of this plan he aimed to drive the French forces with persist ency back from the fertile south into the nar- rower tract north, but, he says, it is a delusion to suppose that long-laid plans can be carried out in detail. ‘The first collision upsets them. All that the leader of an army can do is to de- cide whut is best for an unknown period aud carry out his purpose uuflinchingly. MANSHAL BAZAINE’S CONDUCT. In regard to Bazaine’s conduct on August 16 ‘Moltke says he is tempted to faucy that political reasons alone induced Bazaine thus early in the game to attach himself to Metz. Regarding the attack on the French between Gravelotte andst. Privat Moltke blames himeelf for delaying the attack until late in the day. He notes that the siege of Metz formed no part of the original plan of campaign. In regard to Gambetta and Freycinet he says: “France bad to pay dearly for their energetic but dilettante system of operations, With rare strength of will Gambetta ugderstood how to arm the population, but nof how to direct it against the superior leadership of the Germans. He prolonged the struggle at the price of « great sacrifice on both sides.” ‘Count von Moltke excuses the delay in bom- barding Paris ‘on the ground that it was useless unless he had command of all the railways and waterways to bring up his armies. It was also too risky to attempt to enter Paris at the heels of the enemy, which course might bave re- sulted in a repulse. Count von Moltke discusses the pros snd cons of all the difficult situations as he pro- ceeds, In one place he remarks that theoreti- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.6. FRIDAY. AUGUST 21. 1891.

Efforts are being made in Great Britain to secure legislation that would prohibit the em- ployment of women and girls in the business of making nails, spikes and chains, It has been said that female employment in this direction was compulsion, not of choice. Philanthropists | hes! have pictured the dingy smithy, with its lurid glare of leaping sparks, its sonorous chimes of the falling hammer, and the British amazon, with the biceps of an athlete, pounding the red- hot metal. Eve waiting on Vulcan has invoked the pity and caress of humanity and furnished the text for many a political tirade against the government and civilization that made such conditions a necessity of industrial life. We have nothing to say against this crusade for female emancipation, though if the truth be told the amazons of the black country, with its countless furnaces and its smoke-darkened #k are by no means the serfs they seem to be, and are so far exeurpt from the Winchesters that have been conspicuous in some labor troubles this side the Atlanti. We do not believe in female employment in such a muscular business as making epikes and chains. The forge is no place for a woman, but if she chooses to swing a hammer, who can prevent it? It may be an abnormal prediction, And by no means coincident with the parlor and piano idea of the modern Eve, but in an age when women are captains of ships and run- ning the municipal government of cities, no law can annul the right of the gentle sex to make the shoe or pound the anvil. ‘That there are two sides of this question of female blacks miths can no longer be doubted, since a delegation of lady iron workers waited on the home secretary to protest against inter- ference with their rights, There was nothing savoring of sickness, atrophy or nervousness 11 amazoniun deputation.

From the Chicago Evening Post, August 19. It has at last been definitely decided that the Baltimore and Ohio road will continue to be a tenant of the Illinois Central so far as the use f its terminals in Chicago is concerned. The negotiations which have been pending between the two roads since the supreme cobrt of this state decided that the Ilinois Central had the right to abrogate the old arrangement that was in effect between the two companies for a num- ber of years previously have at last been brought toa conclusion and complete un- derstanding between the companies has been arrived at. Fall particulars of the agreement have not yet been made public. It provides, however, for the Baltimore and Ohio being afforded very much better accommodations than it has here- tofore been accorded. Its old passenger depot in rear of the armories on the lake front will be vacated and it will have equal rights with the Ilinois Central and Michigan Central roads in the new depot at the foot of Lake street, the construction of which is to be commenced almost immediately. This will be a great ad- vantage to the Balinmore and Ohio, because its present depot is hidden from public view and iv hard to approach to the public. Much bet- ter facilities for handling its freight are to be furnished the Baltimore and Ohio, and it is to be provided with all the trackage it requires for this purpose on the strip cf land north of Randolph street viaduct and east of the prosent Passenger depot. While some minor details of the agreement may yet remain to be adjusted the negotiations have gone far enough to insure the carrying out of the compact, and notice has been served by the Illinois Central road on its tenants en- gaged in the lumber business, and who are now occupying the strip of land already referred to, that they must hold themselver in readiness to Vacate their premises on the shortest notice, 60 that all the track facilities reguired may be fur- nished the Baltimore and Ohio just as fast as it requires them. ———e-—____ Warden Leland, proprietor of the Leland Hotel of Chicago, was yesterday assaulted by Robt.

Primarily what an advertiser seeks is PUBLICITY for such announcements as he wishes to make. 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 im the beck yard as to print his inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whos» 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 BAS 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,as well as its extent. That, indeed, ts the vital factor in the Problem the advertiser has to solve. Sen- Sational 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 ts worse than the old one, and then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently worth nothing to the men or women whose aim is to reach reputable and responsibie peo- ple with such business announcements as they may desire to make. What is needed in such @ case isanen- terprising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one that cansafely be put in any hands, whose contents tell the whole world’s newsstory 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 head down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children of the family. Such a 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 abso- 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 FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30th of June last THE STAR'S average dally circulation was 34,064. For a popule- ton of 250,000 this aggregate is some- thing phenomenal, even where the city of publication ts surrounded by prosperous and populous villages ané thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of thet size are. In this respect, however, ‘Washington differs from other cities. She is practically isolated, having few outiy- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR 1s, consequently, almost en- trely e HOME CIRCULATION, with e jarger 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 ia Tales, ZUITICN THEE TO ALL, Income recently doubiad by act of Cougress.

Few newspapers ere willing to submit to ©o trying an ordeal. But THE STAR does it cheerfully. It has nothing tocon- ceal, and no motive forexaggeration, The truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is its business motto. As THE STAR in sists on its right to know bow many pounds of ink it gets when it buys barrel of that article,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its press rooms, so it is Willing that its advertising petrons shail know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of publicity they ere getting when they put an 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, end 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 and conclu- sive tests that can be devised. In other ‘words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FISLD. ITS FAMILY CIn- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS THAT OF ANT OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ITS READERS IN THE CITY 18 FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANT OTHER PAPER. ‘These are the qualities that constitute “Values in Advertising,” and make THE EVENING STAR an unequalled business belp.
