THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......... April 13, 1892. CROSBY S. NOYES THE EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. As a local NEWS Paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ————— = ‘The most notable event of today is the ser- Yous fire which has temporarily wrecked Tar Srar building. a detailed account of which ap- pears elsewhere this paper. Today's Phenix edition of Tae Stan is issucd in spite of many obvious diftienlties, The paper is much in- debted to its mewspaper brethren for friendly services proffered.and especially and profound- Jy to the National Tribune, the prompt and gen- erous tender of whose machinery and appliances has been utilized, Of course. there will be no interruption of the regular publication of this paper.

While Twr: Star build- ing was on fire there were more kindly proffers of assistance than could possibly be accepted; many willing hearts and energetic bodies offered themselves and many were thankfully given employment. Out of the confusion nec- essarily consequeut upon such a contiagra- tion as that which occurred this morning sys- tem was speedily evolved and although -nnch | valuable material was destroyed, yet the more | valuable papers and files were soon placed be- | youd the reach of the most rapid flame-move- | ment which could have taken piace. To those who did this work —many unknown, many un- | influenced by selfish considerations Tr Stan returas its sincere thanks. To Chief Parris and his excellent force of fire fighters; to Maj. Moore and the officers of the Metropolitan Police, to the practieally-sympathetic and the sympathetic who by force of circumstances were forbidden to be practical Tax Sran makes general acknowledgment of its grati- | tude. a = Tuus is the second time that the Star has been burned out. {ts firstserious fire occurred in the early morning of January 29, 1885, aud ‘was in some respects similar to the one which the Stax has now suffered. But neither on that occasion nor on this have the accumulated difficulties and ubstacies of the casualty been Permitted tointerfere with the performance by the Srac of its function as the distributor of the news of the world to the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia and adjacent territory. Such misfortunes have served to “develop the re_ served powers of the Stan's capable employes in every branel of newspaper work in a manner that is very gratifying to the paper. ‘The Price, however, is rather heavy tu pay for this kind of gratification, and though the Star is Feady to admit that “sweet are the uses of ad versity,” it takes the liberty of remarking thay it bas had qnite enough of the particular kind of adversiiy which takes the shape of a great fire. a The overhend-wire legislators do not seom to have Leen impressed with the fact that where 4 route és too crooked to permit the use @f es cabie the difficulty might be met by straightening the route. ‘The burning question of the day could heve been answered at the Stan office this morniag. = —— ae ‘The democratic party shows a disposition te drop Cleveland and Hill in the slot and get some good western man e Gray of indiana is rapidly becoming bice.
