Theremaining 6, 74o copies represent the sales

by newsboys. But of this latter number a very
large proportion is supplied regularly to per-
manent residents of the city living in lodgings,
dc. (not 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 a dist,nctiue and enuidIs
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 parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction of the sseacious 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 STAR's advertising patronage.
Nothing can 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 In point Of fact. il
may be sruthfully said that it is without an
equal in this respect any where in the world.
These sverments 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

constantly increasing circulation of the paper,

The Mary Washington Tomb Matter.

Special to the Baltimore American.
The February term of the Circuit Court of
Fredericksburg, Va, convened yesterday on the
arrival of Judge Mclaughlin of the thirteenth
district who will preside. On the opening OF
the court counsel for Messrs. Colbert & Kirt-
ley, the plaintiffs in the late libel suit case over
the grave and tomb of Mary Washington,
stated that they would present their bills of ex-
ceptions to the verdict which was given against
them. Messrs Washington Il White, for plain
tiff, have withdrawn from the case. and it is
stated that George Mushbach of Alexandria
and A. H. Dickinson. the remaining counsel,
VIII conduct it. Some speculation as to
whether the judge will grant new trial or not
is being INDUCED in, aud should this case,
which has already become noted. be again
tried III the courts of Fredericksburg, the
interest will exceed that OF the first trial. as
sen sational evidence by both sides is promised.

The Louisiana Lottery, says the
New Orleans Ne'o Delta, is a Re.
publican machine. In the first
place the lottery sprang from a
trust that controlled all the lot
teries of the United States. A
clique of New Workers furnished
the funds with which the franchise
was purchased from the black and
tan Legislature of 1868. The men
in whose brains was born this
iHiqaito~s institution were aliens
and enemies of the State.

.~eneficiaries of the trust of the
last named conveyance are not
named, but it is understood that
hey r Chicago parties of large
means, who will form a stock COM
Dany to utilize this property for a
summer and winter resort.
