&C. mot householders), SO that its whole circula
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR dis1lJact.ue and e7auiaJk
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 well established fact, demonstrated 10
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 ad-
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story Oh this point:

TOTAL Al, 400 $3.50 54.O3s 81. sol Is. 523
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
1888 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1855 was q. 10 columns, or 777s columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1859 the daily
average was 1915 columns, or s22s columns in
the aggregate, being total gain over the pre-
vious year OF I 434 columns. And this, il must
be remembered, consisted exclusively Of tbs
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, Il ID only necessary to say that
in proportion to the extent and high character
Of its circulation, TIE SrAR's advertising rates
take rank with the very lowest in the country,
and TO add, finally, that every statement herein
made can be abundxntly verified THE CIR.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pub
lie, in good faith and with confidence. as TIE
BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN
THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact. il
may be truthfully said that il is without an
equal in this respect any where in the world.
These averments 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
average daily circulation OF the paper during
the year 1889. published in The STAR on the
18th of January, 1880.
Briefly stated, the points upon which the
above claim is based are these: That
4. The star has three times the circu-
Iatiom "a any other paper in Washt.g-
ton!
2. The stars circulation I'm Washing
ton is double that Of all the other daily
paper. published i'm the civ added to-
gether!!
3. HE star has N larger and fuller
circulation in the city where printed.
I'm proportion TO reading and purcha.-
Ing population, than amy other news
paper i'm the worId!!!
4. The Star has the largest regular
and permanent home circulation of
any tSo-cent afternoon paper i'm the
United States!!!!
In support of these claims and 10 show the
constantly increasing circulation Of the paper,
attention is invited TO the figures following:

3, 200 miles from the Wavervliet arsenal
Then follows Secretary Proctor's opin'
ion given above. 1t win thus be seer
that Gen. Benet has been exceedingly
diligent In his determination to defeat
Col. Whittemore's plan. and he has sue
ceeded for the present no doubt. The
assertions of the chief of ordnance from
a standpoint of natural science are SO faI
out of the way as to be absurd to the
mind of any one who is acquainted with
Rock Island arsenal and the great build
ings erected upon It. However. Gen.
Benet cannot carry on his vindlctve
spirit to the detriment OF this community
always. He retires this year and 1t Is
probable that no army officer ever
stepped down and out with the same lack
of grace aud popularity. The tri>cities
will always believe he has used his tenn
porsry official strength to do them injury.
Mayor McConochie has received the
follow wing letter from Senator Cullom
concerning the gun factory:

DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 22d inst.
in relation TO Gen. Whittemore's report,
has been received. am aware OF the
feeling existing between Gen. Benet and
Col Whittemore. and Senator Allison and
saw the secretary Of war on last Friday
and urged his attention to the matter and
to the importance of doing something for
the Rock Island Arsenal. making 1t a
place for the manufacture OF arms. heavy
guns and every other kind of ordnance.
The secretary seems to be very friendly
to il. but indicates that at present moth
ing can be done unless congress makes
much heavier appropriations than are an>
ticipsted; that the place where they are
manufacturing guns is doing about all
that congress gives money to do at pres
ent. and he does not like to abandon that
place. However. we will do the very
best we can in the premises. Truly yours.

WINTER WAS VERY TARDY
But it Got Here in Good Shape at
Last.
Last Nights Furious storm and the
Chilly Atmosphere That Followed
This Morning. Five Inches OF Snow.

Old probs. who has been slightly off IL
his calculations and representations sew
eral times this winter. has never called
the turn any more accurately than he did
yesterday afternoon. when he predicted
that snow would be followed by cold
wave and zero temperature. The flurries
of snow which had been loading the at
mosphere. more than covering the sur
face OF the ground. during the afternoon
settled down to steady downfall as
night approached. and by the time dark
mesa gathered Ia there was nothing par
ticularlv enticing ont of doors In the way
of weather. In the city. traffic was
seriously interfered with early IN the
evening The snow drifted as II
settled. and the street car companies ex
perienced great difflculties in keeping the
cars on their various lines moving. Fin.
ally all the care not provided with snow
pillow attachments were Withdrawn, and
two horses assigned 10 those remaining
out, which was not more than half the
regular complement. The immense
snow plows were ordered out. and KEEP,
on the go until nearly morning. SO that
when the time came for running out the
first cars today. the tracks were
in fair shape. Several barrels of salt
have beea consumed IN endeavors to
melt the snow. and as the day
advanced more cars have been put
out and this afternoon the full eqnip-
ment of cars on the red, blue and
green lines. as well as the Elm street
route, has been about restored.
The mercury fell rapidly during the
night. and this morning found the tenn
perature within four degrees of zero, and
while 1t has moderated somewhat today
and the snow has ceased. it is expected
that there will be more cold weather be.
fore it becomes perceptibly warmer
Five inches of snow fell which has made
splendid sleighing and given US the first
real wintry appearance that We have seen
since the calendar winter of 1850 80 set
In. The change was disappointment to
those who had satisfied themselves that
there would be no winter this season, and
demonstration Of the fact that the
weather cook has lost his appetite for
variety.
The storm did not seriously delay mails
on any of the roads. The Milwaukee and
st. Louis trains were twenty to thirty
minutes late last night, the st. Louis, on
this Burlington, was twenty minutes late
this morning. and the Rock Island train
from Council Bluffs was an hour behind
The river was so clodded with floating
Ice this morning that Capt. Cameron
turned the nose of the ferry down stream
and put out for the hsrbor Of safety be-
low the city.
