Saturdays Star

will consist of IL pages and will be in every
way most attractive and interesting issue. 1t
will contain an unusually large amount Of read
ing matter. both original and selected, and of
special local interest. thus ensuring an excep-
tIonaIly large circulation even for that favorite
issue. and securing a thorough perusal by all
classes of readers.
As an advertising medium, the daily editions
Of The STAR present such advantages as cannot
be equalIed by all the papers in the city COM
bined, and the Saturday issues stand outpromi-
nently above all the others of the week, as the
sworn weekly statements show. Advertisers
should therefore avail themselves of the coming
Saturdays mammoth edition for making known
10 the public the various inducements they
have TO offer, and in order to secure proper
display and classification of their announce
ments the copy therefor should be sent to the
Office on Friday evening, If practicable. and IN
ALL CASES BEFORE IL O'CLOCK M. on SATURDAY.
Although three of the best and fastest presses
in the world are kept running at the height of
their speed TO work off the daily editions of
The STAR, in time for the trains, mails and city
circulation, it is necessary to put the forms to
press at a fixed minute in order to meet all de-
mands. This makes it essential to have the
advertisements in hand at the earliest hour
possible.
News-Agents in the adjacent towns and city
Newsboys should also sendin their orders early
for this mammoth edition of The STAR, in order
to prevent loss to themselves and disappoint-
ment to their patrons.

II appears that the Panama canal charter

to forfeit the grant to the canal company if any
of the rights under 1t are transferred or mort
gagged in any way whatever in favor of any
foreign nation or government The passage of
the Edmunds' resolution by the House will in

nish the necessary conditions for this declara-
ton of forfeiture. The United States of
Colombia have an even weaker navy and army
than the United States of America and in case
of the Intervention of foreign power the gov

itself Of the opportunity of declaring for
