THE WORLDS FAIR CONTEST.
How 1t Enters Into the Contest for Seats
i'm tine House.

The worlds fair contest is said to be embar-
RAISING the majority of the House in their po-
lit.cal affairs. Most of the democrats whose
seats arc being contested are committed to one
or the other of the proposed sites for the fair
and the members from the localities they favor
are hardly likely to vote to unseat them pend
ing the settlement of the question.
Mr.. Quay. whose interest in his party does
not exhaust itself in the Senate, has conferred
with the chairman of the elections committee
and some other members on the subject and
advised that the worlds fair matter be got out
OF the way as soon possible and that the
elections committee get Its cases in shape and
then issue whip" call TO all the republican
members, commanding their attendance at the
time fixed for the consideration Of election
cases.

THE STAR IN 1889.
A Record to be Proud of.

The attention of the public generally and
especially that of business circles is called TO
the sworn tabular statement in another part of
today's paper, setting forth in detail the daily
circulation of THE EVENING STAR during the
year 1889. This statement and the additional
facts bearing on the same subject which are
given below make such q showing as cannot. it
Is confidently believed, be matched by the
record of any other newspaper in the world.
They ineontestibly establish the fact that The
STAR is without exception The best local du, ris-
ing medium in the United States or in fact, i.
any country.
The points upon which this claim is based
are these:
1. IL has three times the circulation of any
other paper in Washington.
Z. It's circulation an Washington is double that
Of all TIE Other daily papers published in the clty
added together.
5. has larger and fuller circulation in die
city ,caere printed in proportion TO reading and
purchasing population, than any other newspaper
ia The lDortd
4. 1t has tie largest regular and permanent
home circulation Of any t,cO-ce,t AZ trnoon pdptr
tn TIE United States.
In support of these claims and to show the
constantly increasing circulation of the paper,
attention is invited to the figures following:

CORRECTION. Through an omission in the
text an error was printed in yesterdays STAR
in regard to postage. 1t said 'the transient
postage on each copy of The STAR is 2 cents"
whereas it was intended to say and was written
that cents is the postage on each copy Of the
sirtees-page editions of The STAR" One cent
pays the postage on the ordinary SPACE issues,
and on those consisting of IL pages, but on
l6 pages the postage is cents

But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase of advertising is shown The lary er
space required for advertisements during the
year 1899 as compared with that occupied in
1888 is even more striking. The average daily
space filed by advertisements in 1898 was o. 10
columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas
for the year 1889 the daily average was 20. rs
columns, or 9223 columns in the aggregate,
being a total gain over the previous year of
1444 columns! And this, it must be remem-
bered, 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 is only necessary to say that,
in proportion to the extent and high character
of its circulation, The Stars advertising rates
take rank with the very lowest in the country,
and to add. finally, that every statement herein
made can be abundantly verified. The circu-
lation of the paper is sworn to; its press and
circulation rooms are open to the public, and
its books may be inspected by any one having
an interest in their examination.

and the handlers Of the daily mail are
still seriously inconvenienced by the num-
Der of the absentees. Yesterday was worse
than the day before and there ID no improve
ment to be noted today. There are twenty-one

Halstead as q working Journalist.
New YORK Star.

Murat HaIstead is a shining type of th g
working journalist He lives at the Bre-
WORT house. Every morning he is at the
Standard Union Office in Brooklyn by s
clock, and sometimes earlier. A dozen
pencils have been sharpened for him and
he throws off his coat and plunges into
work without any fussy preliminaries.
He writes steadily until 80 D..
M. The result is over half-page OF strong,
yet graceful expression of editorial opin-
ions. Then Mr.. Halstead writes a COL
umn-ofren two-column-letter to
his Cincinnati paper. This he sends
every day. sundays included. His associ-
ates in Brooklyn look upon him with
wondering eyes. But Mr.. Halstead SAYS
that he has found some difficulty in filing
in his spare time. For that reason he has
taken up some ssoutside" literary work.
Some little time before he lett Cincinnati
Mr.. Halstead employed a stenographer.
But he filled the stenographer's note book
in no time. Then, having so much more
time than he needed, he would
take mp his pencil and busy him.
self again. The consequence was that
he did about two mems work, and he was
pretty well tired out when his d ay was
over. With all his capacity for work he is
invariably in good spirits. He reads the
thrusts of political opponents with amuse-
