How Senator Quay Was Caught.

From the New York Sun.
At Cleveland they put two cars filled with
Polish immigrants ON the rear of our train. as
they had through some accident been belated.
and we sped away for Toledo. At about l
o'clock at night man came into our car, in
which Senator Quay had berth, and said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, a child has been
born in one of the immigrant cars. It's boy.
Al though we are In Ohio, I'm a Pennsylvania
myself. and as Senator Quay is also on he
train it is proposed to name that boy Quay
Langkowski 1t has been proposed that we all
chip in and raise purse for the boy"
We Clipped. Quay saw our whole pile and
raised 1t by S5, saying that he should be proud
of the honor, and the man passed into the
next car. An hour later we learned that no
child had been born and that the fellow had
raised SIS and dropped off at some station.
John Hawkins went to the home of Emma
Woodyear, his sweetheart, at Charleston, W.
Va, last night, called her out, put his arms
around her and sent bullet through her head
Jealousy was the cause.

an unknown colored man on the street and
made him the offer OF pickle if he would get
the cork out for him. This the colored man
did, but when he demanded the pickle Thomas
it is alleged, cursed him, and the negro cut
him across the bowels with a knife. The
wound was a bad one the intestines protrud-

But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase of advertising is shown The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1883 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1855 was Is. 10 columns, or 7779 columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 1915 columns, or 922S columns in
the aggregate, being total gain over the pre-
vious year of 444 columns, And this, it must
be remembered, consisted exclusively Of the
ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing
in the way of tax sales poll lists election returns,
ETC., such as occasionally swell the business OF
political organs, being included in its patron
age.
In conclusion, it 10 only necessary to say that

Unjust Additions to the Districts Debt,

10 the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
/ see 1t announced that the Presidents first
veto is of bill authorizing the city of Ogden,
Utah, to increase its indebtedness, and that the
ground Of the veto is that it would make the
debt of the city about s37 per capita, which lie
considers excessive. In that connection de-
sire to call the attention Of all concerned to
the fact that the debt of the District of Colum
bla Is about $50 per CAPITA or nearly three
times as much. And Notwithstanding this fact
Congress has increased the burdens of the tax
payers OF the District 81 2S5 1879 IS for ore-half
of the cost of the water extension. with which
they had nothing to do; $4,000 for half the
cost OF investigating the fraudulent work done
by Its own officers and contractors over whom
the citizens had no control; S2o7. 500 for half
the cost OF the main as Il temporary substitute;
100000 for half of the cost of land for the
geological park, owned wholly BY the United
States, and now $4,000 more for half the cost
OF hitting II up, entirely under the control of the
United States government
Even admitting that the United States paws
one-hai OF the original debt, now about
S2O,OOO,OO 900, still II will be seen that the re-
naming half, even without the proposed ill.,
crease, Is much larger than that which the Pres
ldent thought was excessive for Ogden And
IN connection with that it should be borne in
mind that large portion of the population OF
the District is composed of non-residents and
much larger portion of poor coIored people
who own no property and pay no taxes
commend these facts to those Senators who
stated that We are more lightly taxed than peo-
pie elsewhere. The debt of the District is much
greater per capita than that OF any state or
municipality of the Union. and the great bulk
OF 1t was created by the officers of the United
States. II property assessed here as it il
III the west at One-third of its value the tax
would not be heavy but when assessed at Its
fulI value, one and "a half per cent here is
equivalent TO four and a. half there! Gentle
men seem to forget these facts when discussino

ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dist,nctiue and e1lriabs
position in modern journalism, the fullness Of
Its home circulation, the extent TO which
It is relied upon by members of the
household, and particularly by the pur-
chasing portion of the community, are
the marked characteristics of the paper,
to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish a parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is a well established fact, demonstrated 20
the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter
prising business men of Washington, who seek
and know where to find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the
growth of The STAR's advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate tie
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face of ad-
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story on this point:
