OF this remarkable average aggregate Of
$1,000 copies circulated daily, no more than
l, l02 copies are sent out of the city by mail,
and JOG go to suburban places, by express,
railway trains, ETC., leaving a net circulation
In the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO-
PORTION of 922s PER CENT, or AN AGGRE-
GATE of % $50 copies! OF this number,
Fl 4 AZ were delivered daily by regular
carriers at the homes of permanent SUBJ
scribers.
The remaining G, 74O copies represent the sales
over the Office counter, at the news stands, and
by newsboys. But of this latter number very
large proportion is supplied regularly TO per-
manent residents of the city living in lodgings,
&c. mot householders), that its whole circula-
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dist,nctiue and e1su'abls
position in modern journalism, the fullness OF
its home circulation, the extent to which

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 well established fact, demonstrated to
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 Stars advertising patronage.
Nothing more surely illustrate the
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 adj
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story on this point:

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pub
lie, in good faith and with confidence, as THE
BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN
THE UNITED STATES. Indeed, the opinion
is hazarded that il is without an equal in this
respect any where in the world. These aver
ments are borne out by the figures given below,
which are compiled from the sworn weekly
statements printed in the paper on each
Monday in the year, and condensed from
the sworn tabular statements showing the aver
age daily circulation of the paper during the
year 1859, published in TIE STAR on the 18TH
OF January, 1880.
Briefly stated, the points upon which the
above claim is based are these:
L. The Star has three times the cIrcu-
iatton Of any other paper in washing.
ton!
2. The Stars circulation I'm Washings

papers published I'm the civ added 90.

ing population. than any other news
paper in the wOrId!!!
4. The Star has the largest regular
and permanent home circulation 0f
any tNSo-cent afternoon paper I'm the

In support of these claims and TO show the
constantly increasing circulation Of the paper,
attention is invited to the figures following:

GEN. SHIELDS SWORDS.
They Have Been Purchased and Will
be Shown In the War Department.

Secretary Proctor has reached . decision
in the matter Of the purchase OF the
swords Of the late Gen. George H. Shields.
for which $4,000 were appropriated by
the last Congress- The difficulty in the case,
as was pointed out in THE STAR some weeks ago,
lay in the fact that the appropriation act con-
tains clause stipulating that the Secretary of
War should pay the actual cost" of the two
swords, while, through curious chain of cir
cumstances, all evidence Of the original value
Of the weapons has been lost. After making
thorough investigation Of the case and con-
sulting several times with Congressman Man
sur, who represents Mrs. Shields, the Secretary
decided that the only course left was to pay the
entire amount $4,000. The swords, which
are now in the custody of the treasurer Of the
United States will be placed on exhibition in
the War department building. The Secretary
has concluded to have the sword of Gen. Kill
patrick. which was recently presented the de-
partment by his widow, placed in a glass case
In the corridor near his door, SO that visitors
to the building may be able to see it without
difficulty The Shields swords will probably
be disposed of in the same way.
Classical Music in Washington.
Lovers Of classical music will have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy some of its best examples
this evening at the hall Of Messrs. Metz
croft Il Co. 1t is the purpose of Mr.. Ernest
Markees to give, in conjunction with Mrs.
Naumann, alto, and Mr.. Rakeman. violinist,
concert the program Of which is not only
strictly classical, but chronologically arranged
as well. 1t attempts to cover the period from
Bach to Brahms and includes works by Mozart,
Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. Many of
the pieces will be heard for the first time in
this city.
Among the more familiar numbers is the
great Beethoven sonata in d minor, op. 81.
The concert is in no sense a commercial ven-
ture, but given by the three artists with the
view OF awakening and fostering in this city
more universal love for the works Of the must
cal masters. Surely such q purpose deserves
encouragement. Admission is free. but upon
invitation only. Mr.. Markees is a pupil of Ru-
dorff and a graduate of the royal high school
for music in Berlin. For many years he was
the musical instructor of the children of
Joachim the famous violnist-in itself a high
recommendation. MIR. Rakeman Is too we'll and
favorably known here to require an introduce
ton to a Washington audience. Mrs. Maui
mann has singularly rich alto and sings with
a musical intelligence not often exhibited on
the concert stage.

LOAN AND BUILDING SOCIETIES.
Why Home Associations Should be Patronized
in Preference to Any Others.

The New York legislature has just passed
a bill, which now goes to the governor for
his signature, requiring all national build
ing and loan associations which establish
branches and solicit subscriptions in that
state to deposit 100000 with the banking
department to secure local stockholders.
The effect of this bill. if signed, will be to
compel the so-called national building and
loan associations to contine their operations
to other states than New York
The Immediate effect of the New York
law Will doubtless be TO render the agents
of these associations increasingly active in
other places-our own included. Our citi-
zens who have funds to invest in building
and loan associations should let the ma
tlonal associations severely alone Not
that they are all dishonest or engineered by
spectators with rascally intentions, for
some of them are doubtless managed on
sound business principles. But it is i'm
possible for investors in an association that
had its headquarters in another state to
have any personal knowledge of its man
agement.
Fortunately, there are enough local asso-
Citations to furnish chance for ali those
who desire to become stockholders to do
so. The building and loan associations
have enjoyed career of continuous pros
perity. The reason for this is that they
nave been local associations exclusively,
whose affairs were under the direct super
vision of their shareholders. 1t is practi-
cally impossible that any large defalcation
should occur with so many interested
parties to watch the disposition of the
money and inspect the security upon which
it was lent. The building and loan associa-
tion is one of the best and safest mediums
for the investment of small savings. But
the investments should be made in local
associations only

In the Occur d'Alenes.

The Wallace, Idaho, Free Press says the
Ceur d'Alenes have produced more value
during the five years since the discovery of
ore there than any other mining district In
America at that age. The lead-silver pro-
duct is estimated at SS,000,O0O, of which
about Sl,000,000 were yielded last year.
Eight millions are considered safe esti-
mate for this season. 1t took Leadville,
which is often cited as the richest camp.
nineteen years to produce $40, 70000 awe
have here in the C9ur d'Alenes," says the
Free Press, ''nearly caught up with Lead
vile in five years, and we're all our mines,
that are ready for shipping ore, worked, the
product would exceed that of Leadville
even at the present time. Therefore, we
can predict great future for the Cnur
d'Alenes, and when we grow as old as
Leadville now is, We expect to have over
5000. 100000 to our credit, instead of
sl5S, 000,0 900, as Leadville now has"

Mexico Catching On,

President Daz, in his message to the
Mexican Congress, said recently:
''The development in mining industry
has continued in full swing. The number
of claims to mines made in only thirteen
states of the republic, and in the short
period to which l restrict myself, since
September, 1889, reached IA During the
same months there have been made forty
three contracts for mining zones according
to the law of June 6, 1887, which, together
with those made previously, made up a
total of 2l0 contracts for working and as
many zones. There has been entered into
besides contract for the establishment in
the country of five reduction works, which
viii treat every sort of metal; also for the
working of an equal number of mineral
zones conceded TO the same company.
Since the PRONUNCIATION of the aforesaid
law of June 6, 1887, Jhirty-nine concessions
have been declared forfeited. To guaran-
tee the fulfllnient Of those still in vigor,
there exists deposit of Sl4S, 595 1t may
be expected tliut by means of these agree
ments there viii be invested in the mining

A QUERY FROM A TRUSTEE.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD.
The trustees OF some of the school dis
tricts in this valley are in quandary and
would be glad if THE HERALD would
furnish the information that would help
them out
The assessor and collector of this county
Sub treasurer of the territory refused tc
pay the order issued upon him by the
county superintendent of district schools
upon the ground that a certain cheque
drawn in his favor by the territorial com
missioner and upon the territory has been
dishonored, there being no funds IN the
treasury. AS the assessor and collector
appears unable to furnish the trustees any
information as to when Of ever theschool
money can be paid, said trustees are
wondering whether the territory has be
come insolvent and whether the districts
which they represent will have to follow
suit, being unable to settle with the
teachers for services rendered. The
new school law imposes increased
duties upon district trustees, but ap
parently does not provide any remunera
ton; is this an oversight on the part Of
legislature or are the trustees to donate
their services: Yours,
TRUSTEE.
