AkTBoPoLIrAS EVENING NEWSPAPER
Speaking OF TIE Stars encampmcnt issues
Mr.. c. A. Hamilton, correspondent Of tho
Brooklyn Times, said: The work done BY
The Stan IN reporting the encampment was
superb. don't think II is possible to do better
neWspap work in America. The reports were
pewllderlng In their thoronghness, the illustrs-
tions were fagltless and the whole Was edited
by master hand. II The STAR had employed
local reporter in each county Of the Union
and had given this force charge Of the various
state gatherings no more thorough details could
have been secured.

respondent Of the Chicago Herald and Of the
American Press Association, TIRE SrAs's en-
campment editions hsve been ideal examples Of
the possibilities Of newspaper skill, enterprise
and genius applied 10 great events. The news
paper mans capacity and mastery Of his pro-
fession are measured by the manner In
which he handles big things. Only .

EXCITED ADMIRATION.
THE way in which The STAR handled the
G. A. r. encampment in oil its rAmifcations, !"
said A Maurice Low, correspondent Of the
Boston Globe, has excited nv admiration. Its
reports were not only complete, comprehensive
and accurate, but they were written in an en-
PERTAINING and readable manner. The intro
duction to Tuesdays great parade was an
especially noteworthy piece Of newspaper work
1--WE Ind the encampment in Boston two years
ago and the Globe handled it there pretty sue
cessfully, think. The military editor OF our
paper, who had charge of all the work in Bos-
ION, has been in Washington during the week,
and be admits that The srARs work has been
excellent. / think that is high praise"

STAR during encampment week has contained
complete information in regard to every in
teresting feature Of the great gathering Of
Union veterans, and it's special articles on i'm
portant events Of the war have been
but have had the rare merit of
impartial justice to the participants on both
sides Of the struggle for the preservation Of the
Union. At the same time no item OF general
news has been sacrificed to make room for the
record of the doings of the old soldier organiza-
tons. The STAR has reason to be proud Of its
achievement

ing comrade, G. A r., said today:
The journalistic work performed by The
EVENING STAR and its reportoriai corps during
the Grand Army encampment il most credit
able in all essentials and deserving Of the high
est commentator. Such is my opinion, and I
have heard like encomium freely expressed BY
the visiting comrades Of the G. A. r. In fact,
so far as thorough description of the stirring
events Of this reunion is concerned, Washing
ton journalism stands in the very front rank,
and leads all the rest
VERY LITTLE CHANGE.
