That method of se- curing patronage is left to others, who sometimes combine with it the tender of more or less worth- less scrip, and like extraneous inducements, to trump up a show of business success. Those who use the columns of The Star do so of their own free will and accord, as a complete and remunerative transaction, in itself, and because they are sat- isfied that every dollar thus spent will yield a quick, sure and rich return, What is wanted by poe in legitimate business is the largest extent and best qual- ity of publicity obtainable for thelr announcements, and at low and uniform rates, and that is what they get when they ad- vertise in the favorite Wash- ington family newspaper, The Evening Star BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A. ——<}—_ Reasons Alleged for Opposing the Missogrian, HIS. WIFE $n CONNECTIONS Democracy May Declare Open War Against the Order. PREPARING FOR M’KINLEY The A. P. A. opposition to the nomination of “Silver Dick” Bland would have been officially promulgated when the advisory board of the order met here last month had there been any idea that he would have been brought prominently forward as a possible democratic nominee for Prest- dent. His name had hardly been mentioned up to that time, and the advisory board was then dealing with the republican can- didates. While m session here, however, one of the Missouri members of the board talked with a Star reporter of the great democratic apostle of silver. It is claimed by the order that Mr. Bland was one of the victims of the A. P. A. in the landslide last year, and the opposition to him at that time was based on the ground that he had voted for sectarian ap- propriations while a member of the House; the public was told that that was reason. In addition to that was the ee : y to be publicly . apparently too petty to be pul considered, that Mrs. Bland was a Catho- Ne, and that she was rearing her children in that faith. Mrs. B ls The member of the advis talked with Tho Star reporier about the Bland family toki the followings story of the nversion of Mrs. Bland to Catholi- cism: Years ago, when she was living In Washirgton with her husband and ehil- dren, she was taken seriously ill and her was despaired of.

Mr. Bland himself is a member of the Pre erian Chur he As stat the s| opposition to Mr. Bland two years ago was because he had voted for sectarian appropriations, but the story about Mrs. Bland’s religious con- nections was secretly circulated among the A. PL AL members. Will Be Open Opposition, Mr. Bland’s friends here say that he will not be worried by the opposition of the American Protective Association.

The musicale at the Brazilian legation Wednesday afternoon was something more than a social event, although It has been generally treated from the society aspect. It brought into more general notice than heretofore two gentlemen who are both Possessed of genuine musical ability, and whose efforts were thoroughly artistic, both as to technique and expressiveness. The program was seluted so us to show versa- Uullty of interpretation and extent of t nical skill, and all the numbers were satis- factorlly and intelligently rendered. Mr. Moreles, espevially, is u pianist who,if com- pelled tomake music a profession, would soon attain high rank as a performer, both from his artistic temperament and his cx - tious attention to tails of his work.His piano playing is of a high order, not only as to manual dexterity, but as to the musician- ly spirit display 1in his firm, yet ive touch. Mr, Bernardilli’s violin work was also enjoyable its artistic excellence. That th iemen are only ama- t and ha: rsued the study and prac- tice of music from a love of the art, added to the interest of the o ind afforded increased gratification to the mu were present. tis hoped that t men ma ve a recital, which w larger numbe enjoy their he large ore choir of St. Pav Sunday, on the ation of Bishop O'Gorn “4 by Mr. Sol Min om at the march program the solo of Sig. jes as a con- He was the leader opened, and also dir Maina.

Mayo will give his second plano recital at the Universalist: Church next Tuesday evening. His former one was a delightful enjoyment to a large number of lovers of music, and impressed the abili- ty of Mr. Mayo, both as an executant and an interpreter, upon @ great number of peo- ple. At the coming concert Mr. Mayo will play Bach's prelude and Gavotte in @ minor, the arlutti-Tausig Pastorale, Geethoven'’s Sonata in E flat, Schubert's A flat Impromptu, Raff's Mahrchen, Burgiel’ Marcia Fantastica, a Mendelssohn without words, two Chopin numbers, mann’s Allegro, the Schubert- Hark! the Lark,” Bendel’s tran n of Siegmund's Liebeslied, from “Die Walkure,” ns’ Etude en form de Val Mr. Mayo will be assisted by Mr. W.

A large number of persuns believe that a Sanday night concert every two weeks by during the summer would be n jeyable on account of the excell: the band, but would be profitable to the undertakers of the project.

TOWN, Africa, April 2 Every additional {tem of news from Buluwayo shows that the small body of British treops of 300 men which set out Friday morning from that town and engaged a Matabcle army, occupying about four miles of the north bank of the Ungusea river, displayed the greatest gallantry. Several remarkable examples of heroism are re- corded upon the part of officers and troop- ers in saving the lives of wound com: rades ut the risk of their own lives’ One | officer gave his horse to a badly wounded w mrade, and soon afterward was killed le fighting his way back to his corps. The Matabeles showed much better knowledge of tactics than they did when fighting years ago. They threw them- selves on the ground when they saw the machine guns going into action, and re- peatedly tried to outflank the t s. The evidence points to the Matabeles having the intention of endeavoring to scrround the town and cut off communication with it in all directions. A patrol was to Keve left iuinwayo on Thursday in order to a ain if the route to Salisbury was stil opeln for the advance of the relief column dispatched from Mafe- king, upon which body of men rests the hope of relieving Buluwayo.
