short, bright, snappy advertising The EVEN
ING STAR NEWSPAPER COMPANY offers three
prizes Of $100, S50and S25 each, to be awarded

tisements written under the following condi-
tions: ....-. -....~ go
The series is 10 consist Of six articles, de:
signed for separate publication, Of not over
one hundred and fifty words each, and any less
number Of words may be used.
The articles are to be based on the sugpes-
tions given below but need not be confined to
them. The suggestions may be combined in
any manner desired.
No reflections are to be made on any Of our
contemporaries beyond that implied in the fact
of their enjoying only . fraction of The ST.R's

The points required to be covered are:
l. The average circulation of The STAR for
the first three months Of 1880 was 50, 236, this
being more than treble that of any other Wash
ihSton uoWSPapcE.
2. The STAR has larger and fuller circula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading and purchasing population, than any
other newspaper in tie world. 1t is essentially
a home paper, the extent to which it is relied
upon by members of the household, particu-
laTly by the purchasing portion of the commu-
nifty, being the marked characteristic of the
paper. to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish parallel.
g. The value of advertising is in direct pro-
portion to the circulation Of the paper. con-
sidering the character of its readers. Weighed
in this balance The STAR is one of the Cheap
est advertising mediums in the United States.
and far cheaper than any other Washington

about AZ cents line an insertion or less than
one-screna of cent per line in each thousand

TIE STAR for the preceding week is published
each. Monday, and its press and circulation
rooms are open to the public and its circula-
ton books may be inspected by any one having

6. The fact that The STAR is universally rec
ognized as the great "Want" medium of the
city and the advantages Of making wants
known through it.

New YoRK, May 26.-The opening of the

prices were generally small fractions better

Missouri Pacific, Atchison and Richmond and

MORE TARIFF HEARINGS.
The Senate Finance Committee VIII
Give q Few Before Reporting the Bill.

The members of the Senate committee on
finance are being besieged by manufacturers
and importers who wish them to give hearings
in regard to clauses in the tariff bill. At the
urgent request of Senator Mcmillan hearing
was given to the 6ne-cut tobacco men last
Thursday, and now the committee is experi-
encing some difficulty in pacifying importu-
nate agents of the different manufacturing in
terests. A number Of amendments to the bill
were agreed to by the ways and means COM
mittee at the last moment, which Mr.. Mckinley
had no opportunity to present to the House
before the hour fixed for voting on the bill
arrived. The men who represent the interests
which would be affected by these amendments
feel that they have q claim upon the finance
committee and it 10 very difficult TO refuse
them q hearing. But, unfortunately. az Mr..
Aldrich, a member OF the committee, saws.
these tactics have become known to Others
who have amendments which they desired In
see adopted, and now every man who applies TO
the committee for n hearing asserts that his
particular claim has received the sanction of
Mr.. Mckinley. These assurances are becom-
ing so general now that the members of the
committee are beginning to look upon them
with suspicion. The committee will give yery
few hearings before reporting the bill.

NO BACK PAY FOR HIM.
A Dismissed Army Onicer's Petition
Denied by the Court Of Claims.

In the Court Of Claims this morning Judge
Richardson rendered the opinion Of the court
in the case Of VIM. C. Ide, late o captain in the

by courtmsrtial in the year 1869 on charges Of
absence without leave and disobediencs
Of orders and was dismissed the ssrv-
ice. For eighteen years he did not
enter any sort Of protest, but accepted
his sentence in silence. In 1887 he presented
9 petition for restoration to President Cleve-
land, who denied il, and in 1888 he presented .
claim to the paymaster general Of the army for
pay to cover the period of his absence from
the army. This was also disallowed. In 1883
he fled his CLAIM for back pay amount
ing TO almost s45000, to the Court of
Claims, on the ground that the sentence of
dismissal of the court martial was not approved
by the President, and urging the Runfie case
as q precedent The court held that the
claimants silence for eighteen years barred
him from any found Of action, and that his
case presented differences from the Runkle
case sufficiently marked TO disarm the precs-
dent The petition was dismissed
