A Credit to Washington and Journalism

From the Mar,insburg Herald.
All the largest cities of the country furnish
instances of newspapers that have attained un-
usual success and popularity. The national
capital never had a great and phenomenally
successful newspaper, but has mourned over
more journalistic capital and enterprise wasted
than any other city of its size. The Washing
ton STAR has come to the front of late years
and now ranks with the leading city dailies in
circulation, enterprise and editorial ability.
There couldn't be o better local Newspaper and
its enterprise as q general newspaper is far
above the average. No special occasion Of
public interest passes without The STAR giving
special and full reports. Its Office and equip
ments in every department are of the latest and
most complete system, and its staff Of reporters
equal to any occasion. The circulation of TIE
STAR now averages $4,000 day. The srAa is

Il did not" he replied emphatically
He then said he would tell all he knew about
the matter if the committee desired He said
he had not bought the questions. He said that
about Christmas, 1887. Mrs. Smith brought
the questions to him as sample questions and
wanted instructions to prepare for an examin-
alton OF such scope. He understood
from her that the questions had been used
and no value or Importance was attached to
them. The papers were not offered for sale
nor had any Importance attached to them. He
supposed they had come from some one who
had taken the examination. The papers were
left with them because Of the little interest
with which they were regarded by Mrs. Smith
Miss Dabney. he said, had taken instructions
from him for month, beginning in August,
and had ceased because she could not afford to
continue. After that she had come
to him several times to work out
examples for her, telling pathetic
story of her circumstances and Of her anxiety
for her sick mother. As matter of charity he
had helped her with such examples.
About New Years, 1888. Miss Dabney, he
said, came to him and asked for the old exami-
nation papers Mrs. Smith had left there, which
had examples worked out on them, and might
be OF use as a matter of instruction. He did
not think he had any right to give her the
papers in an unknown handwriting, but said he
would gladly make copy for her.
HOW TaE PAPERS DISAPPEARED.
He was then called out of the room and Miss
Dabney left Immediately after his return.
Some little time after that he remembered
his promise to copy the papers. He then found
they were gone and he suspected
that Miss Dabney had taken them. He did not
attach enough importance to the matter, how
ever, to look into the matter or try to get the
papers back. He did not care anything about
it. When this matter got into the papers
he was mised by the statement
that the papers had come from lady in the
Treasury department, and it was not until he
read Mondays STAR that he knew she was the
one who had the papers.
He coNTRADIcTs MISS DABNxY.
He said that the statement Of Miss Dabney
in testimony, that he had offered TO sell her the
examination papers for her examination, was
false. "There is no word of truth" he said
sin her statement" He said IL was false that he
had offered to sell her any examination papers.
or had claimed to have such papers before the
examination. 1t was false, also that he had
ever given her the papers. He said he did NOT
have the pspers until Mrs. Smith brought them
there about Christmas time, and then they
were of no value. This the papers showed for
themselves, as they were copies Of the papers
examination and they could not have existed
before the examination.

Mr.. Hopkins, q member Of the committee

jected that the witness was simplifying too
much. The prosecution, with whom Mr.. Hop

the same thing. The majority Of the committee
thought otherwise.
Mr.. Oberly said he was trying to give clear
