An Awful Time With an Oyster.

From the Chicago Times.
Last night a fat man, wearing a low-necked
shirt with turn down collar three sizes too
large for hun, sat down to a table In a Clark
street restaurant and called for a plate of raw
oysters. He got them cold and juicy right off
the Ice and harpoonlng Fat one with his fork,
he lifted it toward his mouth. But the slip

for moment on his face; then with low

A Blow at "HellO!o

From the New YorK sun.
Have you noticed that the girl whose name
you know as Central no longer says '.hello"
to you?
She DOESN'T and no matter how persistently
you greet her with the familiar salutation, she
won't respond in kind. You needn't worry
with the thought that perhaps some more dull
cet-toned voice has won those little amenities
which helped make your interviews with the
invisible young woman a pleasant feature of
the days business. That isn't it. Telephone
ethics have banished the ''hello." 1t has got
to go. 1t has already gone from one end of the
wire. but it will probably be long time dis
appearing from the other, the subscribers end.
You can hello yourself hoarse at Central
without provoking any greater variety Of reply
than:
Number, please"
well, don't keep ringing in my ear"
''Oh, dear; can't you wait minute till get
a chance to answer"
But never hello" And you can sit in the
central Office by the hour without hearing the
banished word, unless you put your ear to a
telephone with a subscriber at the other end Of
the wire.
The reason for the change? Nobody knows

THE EVENING STAR IL a PAPER
OF TODAY, not OF YESTERDAY nor
of LAST WEEK. IL prints ALL THE
NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign,
LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN
ING PAPERS.
This Is conspicuousIy true Of all classes
of news, but especially so in regard to
Local News and District Affairs.
THE STAR has very much LARGER
and BETTER force of LOCAL RE-
PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS
than any other paper I'm Washington
ever thought of employing, and ITS
MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND
PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE
THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER.
Full AND RAPID As THOSE OF ANY
OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. ItIs
therefore able to print each day a fun
report OF every transaction OF public in.
terest occurring In the District up TO
the very hour Of going 20 press.

Equally does THE STAR lead all its
contemporaries I'm the publication Of the
NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY.
Receiving the regular dispatches Of
both News Associations; with alert and
enterprising special teIegraphic cor
respondents at all important points; and
with wires leading directly from it's own
Office to the general network oftelegraph
system touching every city, town and
hamlet I'm the United States and Terri.
tories, 1t is enabled to receive and print
at once a full report Of every event of
consequence occurring during the day

Geography Was Her Forte.

A quiet young man took in 1.-THE Oolah" the
other night. On his right sat two gorgeously
attlred women, who showed off their gold and
pearl lOrgnettes, diamond rings and necklaces
to the envy Of the surrounding fair. In the
third act, where the Oolah is given an order by
the prince banishing Nedjef from the city,
Francis Wilson received the paper with the re-
mark that this will submerge him in the Null
Iagatawny. The women caught the last word
and one of them said to the other in stage
whisper; why, what does he mean?' II
don't know, replied the other. but added after
pause, why. yes do. too; how stupid, It's
a river IN Persia. 1t rises in the Caspian sea
and flows past Teheran into the Red sea- Don't
you remember! Geography always was the
easiest study for me when was at school +"
And the quiet young man suddenly conceived
an enormous appetite for program paper and
chewed his own with such vigor that the women
stared -. him in blank astonishment.

In conclusion, the public should bear
In mind this one significant fact: THE
STAR does not rely upon empty boasts
to impress the public. IT'S ClRCULA-
TION Is SWORN TO; its PRESS
ROOM Is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC;
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest In their
examination. These are CRUCIAL
TESTS, which few papers invite, and
which those that boast most are least
able to stand.
