mains to be added on this head, as an indication
of the esteem in which the paper is held by the
business public. which best understands It's own
interests in this respect that both in the number
Of subscribers and Of new advertisements printed,
each year in the history OF the paper shows large
increase over Its predecessor. For example, during
the first nine months of the present year
the average daily circulation Of the paper
has been 26,6sI copies, and the whole

THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and
Its conductors are determined that it never shall
take one.

He Changed the Betting.

From the Chicago Mail
Did you ever hear how Charley Farwell
changed the betting against him when he was
a candidate for Congress against John Went
worth? q ask your pardon for mentioning
Long John at this late date) 1t appears, from
my informer, that Mr.. Wentworth's chances
were in the ascendency. Betting was in his
favor largely. He was the favorite in the pools.
J. K. Fisher, who was prominent operator on
the board OF trade, was putting large sums on
Wentworth, and the friends of Farwell were
disheartened. Farwell had his headquarters
at Burke's European Hotel on Madison street.
He sent a messenger to Fisher asking him to
come to his room. Fisher called. Farwell told
him what he had heard ''Now, Fisher" Far
well is reported to have said substantially, II
am going to be elected. feel it, know it.
Here is my check for $4,000. l want you to
take it and bet it on me or have some Of your
friends do it, in whatever sums you may see fit.
But am going to be elected"
Fisher walked across the floor several times
and then replied: mo, Farwell, won't take
your money. But will go back on the board
and see what can do for you, and if need
any money will send over here for it."
They separated. The election resulted in a
victory for Farwell. Several days afterward
Farwen received check from Fisher for
81, 800. No explanation accompanied it. He
had profited by Farwells advice, changed his
betting, and this was the surplus.

of Mr.. Edgar Sheppard and Miss Celtic Moore

maids. After the ceremony there will be a
wedding breakfast, to which over one hundred
guests have been invited. Mr.. Sheppard is a
native of Elmira N. Y. He is a tall man, about
thirty-eight years of age, rather fine looking,
and of quiet retiring disposition. He is quite
a musician, is not wealthy, but has comfOrta-
BILE income and spends his summers at Newport

last summer, but has been kept quiet on ac-
count of the reports of fictitious marriage of
another sister to Mr.. VIM. Fearing Gill Miss

a present from her family. Mr.. and Mrs. C.

IaNorite anu reader. he Is the kings ad-
wiser, with whom the simple old monarch con-
suits on almost every question Of state policy
that comes before him. He rides with the king
in the latter's carriage on all except state oc-
casions, and is fattered and cajoled by all as
the man who has the most influence with the
king. His influence with the monarch does
certainly seem unbounded, and up to the pres
ent time there have been no hints that this in
fuence has been wrongly used.
The future of Baron Won Jackson is apt to be
still more interesting than his past; and here,
too, may perhaps be found the secret of the in
fammatory and seemingly absurd charges in
the Neaeste Ndciyichten Common rumor has
long concerned itself at Stuttgart with the re-
lations of Baron Won jackson and the grand
Duchess Vera OF Russia the adopted daughter
Of Queen Olga and the widow Of Prince Eugene,
who stood heir to King Charles throne after
the present heir, Prince Wilhelme. 1t would
be foolish to deny that gossip in Stuttgart takes il
for granted that this relation between the baron
Won Jackson and the Princess Vera amounts to
definite iason. The apartments Of the baron
and the princess are not widely separated in
the palace, and the two lovers are often seen
together. Despite the elevation Of Mr.. jackson
to the rank of baron the difference in rank be-
tween himself and the Duches Vera is still very
great, and an absolute marriage between them
would be out of the question. 1t is said that
King Charles wants to help the baron and
princess over their difficulty, and Is willing to
raise the baron to q rank high enough to allow
the marriage to take place; yet the king real
ICES that the marriage would separate the baron
from him, and to this he win not consent
jackson, it is declared, has given the king q
pledge that he win not marry in the kings
lifetime.

Five Prisoners Burned.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 5.-Just before
daylight this morning the Jail at Friars'
Point, Mississippi, was discovered on fire.
Desperate efforts we're made to Ielease
the five prisoners it contained, but with
out success, and they perished in the
flames. They weie William Gray, white,
aged twenty eight, under Il Sentence III
the penitentiary of ten ycorsfor arson and
robbery; Fred Powers, white, pal of
Gray's, who was also under SEN
tence Of five years for robbery;
Powers, white man under arrest for an
assault with intent to kill: Andy Brown,
colored, under death sentence for muir
der and negro boy aged fifteen, who
was crazy. There is no doubt bat what
Gray set the jail on fire, as he had
threatened to do rather than go TO the
pcnitcntiary The Jail was q substantial
brick building, a portion being occupied
by the chancery and circuit court clerks,
who succeeded in saving the county s
records.

A Bull Fight.

CELAY, Mexico. April 4.-sunday af
ternoon about 5 O'Clock bull ring here,
while crowded with spectators, was set
on fire by several prisoners, who were
witnessing the fight under guard. A
panic seized the vast assemblage and a
frightful loss of life resulted. Eighteen
lives were lost bApersons being burned
to death. while ten others will probably
die. Two hundred others were more or
less burned, bruised and trampled on by
the crowd and tossed by the maddened
bulls, which escaped from the pens into
the crowd. The scenes were sickening.
Many persons lost their reason from men
tai shock The prisoners who set fire to
the ring escaped in the confusion. The
helpless little ones and their mothers, who
could not desert them, are the principal
sufferers.
