THE kEAN FA1LU RE.

The Kean failure is about the worst of
which details have come to hand during the
present crisis. 1t is not easy to draw any
line of distinction between banker Kean
and men and women who obtain money in
small way on false pretenses. Receiving
deposits up to the date OF his failure, he ap-
pears to have pledged all his valuable secu-
rifles with other banks to secure loans. He
could not help knowing that he was insolv-
ent when these deposits were received. Of
course it is always best for people who are
robbed in this way to seek redress through
the courts: but there are people so consti-
tuted that they become angry when the
courts fail to reach this class of criminals.

A Rising MAN.

Governor Russell of Massachusetts, re-
ceiyed 800 votes in the canvass of 10000
voters for their first choice for President.
While the number of votes Governor Rus
sell received is not comparatively large. 1t
serves to place him among Presidential DOS
sipiiities: Two years ago Mr.. Russell was
Mayor OF the small city of Cambridge.
year ago in November he was defeated as
the Democratic candidate for Governor.
and last November he was elected. He ap-
pears to have pushed the old Democrat war
horses aside, and to have succeeded where
they had failed. General Butler once de-
feated the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor OF Massachusetts. but it has never
been known whether Butler was Republic
can or Democrat that year. But the Re-
publicans recovered the StIts the next year,
and have held it until the present year. The
Governor-elect is said to be only 80 years Of
age.

ed Mr.. Voorhees, does not vouch for the
existence of the conspiracy of his own
knowledge. He rises in the Senate and
makes the charge on the strength of an as
ser;ion in a VIGOROUSLY sensational newspa-
per. Mr.. Voorhees, says it is painful to
reflect that man who knew President Har-
rison well should have felt warranted in
submitting for his approval a corrupt project
to secure Republican majorities in certain
doubtful States. 1t is painful to reflect that
a Senator of the United States should make
this shameful charge without shadow of
prQof that il bad q grain of truth in it.

THE NUMBER
OF Advertisements In n Newspaper Il


what Tells.
Advertisers are extraordinarily shrewd men.
The paper which regularly contains the greatest
number OF advertisements may. therefore, be set
down as the one which the business men, after
close and intelligent trial, have united fr recog.

money. Yesterdays record Is fairly representa-.
tive OF the regular daily average comparison.
The figures speak for Observation-Disclosures,

Can You Write English?

With a view to encourage the writing of
short, bright. snappy advertising The EVEN
ING STAR NEWSPAPER COMPANY offers three
prizes of 800, $50 and S25 each. to be awarded
to the writer's OF the best three series of articles
setting forth the advantages of The EVENING
STAR as an advertising medium, written under
the following conditions:
The series is TO 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 sugges-
tions given below. Each article may contain
one or more of the suggestions. as the contest
ant may elect. provided all the points are COM
pretended in the six articles comprising the
series.
No reflections are to be made on any of our
contemporaries beyond that implied in the fact
Of their enjoying only a fraction of The STARS
circulation.
The contestants must reside in Washington
or in one of the suburbs of Washington.
No articles viii be received later than June
20. 1890.
Contestants will inciose with their ESSAYS an
envelope containing name and address. The
contestants, however, will be known to the
judges by number only.
The awards Will be made by a committee
composed of Messrs. Isadore Saks, s. W. Wood
ward, Washington ~Danenhower and A. Lisner.
Address all inquiries and communication
relating to this contest to Editor Advertising
Contest. 4
The points required to be covered are:
l. The average circulation of The STAR for
the first fbraa mnntEG nf lsJD uac 90 OQc fItu
being more than treble that of any other Wash
inSton newspaper.
2 The STAR has a larger and fuller ~circula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading aud purchasing population, than any
other newspaper i'll TIE world. 1t is essentially
a home paper, the extent to which it is relied
upon by members of the household. particu-
larly 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 a parallel.
3. 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
paper.
4. That an advertisement running for three
months or over with one change a month costs
about A. cents Il line an insertion or less than
One-seue1,h Of a cent per line in each thousand
papers.
3. A sworn statement of the circulation of
The 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
an interest in their examination.
6. The fact that The STAR is universally rec
ognized as the great Want medium of the
city and the advantages o. making wants
known through 1t.

strychnine. This she offered TO her husband,

his wife said she would drink it to prove that
1t was harmless. During tho talk the two
glasses had been changed. and instead of
drinking tine harmless liquid she swallowed the
poison aud died soon after ward
