THE TIMES STILL LEADS.
Ahs the Largest Circulation In wash
-ngton-The Star Keeps UP Its

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Again il becomes Il duty to expose the
MISREPRESENTATION of the Star in order To
show how easy it is to publish false circu-
latioG statements. Saturday the Star
claimed that its aggregate circulation or
1T4,059 was many thousands in excess
of any other Washington paper and is be-
lieved 10 be fully five times that OF any
afternoon contemporary"
The aggregate circulation of The Times
last week was 22S, 1913, or "a, ,339 more
than that of the Star. The gain of The
Times over last weeks statement was
4,622, while that of the Star was only
2,loS. These figures are facts III which
there is 10 deception or misrepresentation
and they demonstrate econclusiyely that The
Times has the largest circulation and is
the most popular newspaper in Washington
The ra pid growth of The heTimesalsoclearly
indicates that readers prefer two editions
a day to the old style of daily newspaper.
The Times publishes sixteen pages each
week day and twenty pages ON Sunday,
which are delivered to any address in
Washington for 80 CENTS A MONTH. The
morning edition reaches readers in time for
early breakfast and the evening edition
before O'Clock in the afternoon. This
method gives readers all the news before it
is twelve hours old and is a great improve
nient over the ordinary daily.
Remember that IL only costs so CENTS A

The residue of the story is best told by
the society editress of The Times, who says:

The world is lookin' brighter

The heart is feelin' lighter

1t is a noteworthy fact that in the case
of all the great jewel ,obberies Of the last
decade or SO there has only been one soil
tary instance of the victim recovering her
treasures. 1t was that of Lady Dudley.
whose casket OF jewels was stolen from
her confidential maid under most audacious
circumstances at the Paddington terminus
of the Great Western Railroad in Lon
don, just as Lady Dudley was leaving for
Windsor Castle on a dincand-sleep visit
to the Queen.
The maid had set the heavy jewel case
on the platform for a moment, and, for
safety sake, had put her foot on it, the Dud-
ley footman and servants, as Well as the
countess herself, standing around her in
all the hustle and preparation for depar-
ture. For just a second, something oc-

By degrees this became known and Lord
Dudley came in for a great deal of criti-
cism on the part of the police and public
for what was described as compromising
a felony. the private detectives being espe-
pecially bitter, owing to their ioss of the
large reward which he had promised. But
Lord Dudley could afford to treat their
remarks with Indifference. as his wife alone
of all the ladies robbed uf their jewels
succeeded in recovering her gems.
The Countess of Howe, who had her
casket of Jewels stolen much in the same
way as had Lady Dudley, while on her
way from London to Cowes. the Countess
of Wilton. consort OF the present demented
earl. whose residence-The Hatch, on the
entered by burglars: the American-born
banks of the Thames. near Windscr-was
Princess Soltykoff, whose pretty country
seat in the same district was likewise
robbed: Lady Trevor, who had $500, 900
worth of Jewels stolen from her while on
the way from London to Dublin, and Lady
Miles. of Coiin-Campbeli divorce suit fame.
whose country seat-Leigh Court-was
visited by thieves who carried off some
S15O. 900 worth of jewels. mostly presented
to her by the late Duke of Rutland. with
whom her name was so unpleasantly asso-
ciated tshe being the principal legatee un-
their jewels, in spite of the large rewards
which they offered. Mrs. Langtry would
do well, therefore, If she has the oppor-
tunity to follow the example set by poor.
crazy, old Lord Dudley.

The belle OF the ball appeared Ito our re-
porter's excited eycb i'll the person OF Miss
Caha. The latest fashion of the lowest
general polite yell of delight greeted her
appearance. The brilliant STRIPS OF her
utilitarian top garment, where ii hung
together, nuttered in the Hogback zephyr
that swept through the tent. The whole
was covered with an applique of yellow
goat tail. studded with beads, the decol
letage Of the entirety being perfect.
The evening times., 1895-10-14

For several weeks the Scotland Yard
police, as well as the private detective
agencies, hunted high and low for the jew
els without finding the slightest clew. At
the end of that time Lord Dudley received
q confidential communication, in which
the return OF the jewels was proposed on
the condition that no questions Were asked
and Il certain SUM, representing about one
sixth of the value OF the gems, was paid
down.
Now, old Lord Dudley, although craZN
upon a number of subjects. was singularly
shrewd and sharp upon Others. He at
once perceived that the jewels were too
well known throughout the length and
breadth of the civilized world to enable the
thieves to dispose of them, even unset. and
that the only thing they could do in order
TO derive any benefit from the robbery
would be to recut the stones, which he
knew they would not hesitate to do unless
he accepted their terms.
Immensely wealthy, he did not wait
long, but complied with their request and
in due course received the jewels in pre-
cisely the same condition in which they had
been lost, the only changes being that in
the case of one or two parures the setting
had been slightly improved upon, and one
or two innovations introduced, which
showed the hand Of a perfect genius of
jeweler and gave great satisfaction to
the beautiful countess.

The Dowager Countess of Cowley. de-
fendant in the recent sensational So
ciety sland er suit in which so many
members of the Duke of Bcaufort's Bad
niinton Hunt were involved, has been
put to so heavy exlegal expense in con-
nectiOn with the latter that she has
been compelled to sell the pretty river
side place which she owned near Maiden
head-on-the-Th3m mes, and which was in
habited for time by her sister. the
widowed Countess Of Ayiesrord, who
was the correspondent in the divorce suit
brought by the Marchioness of Blandford
against her husband. the late Duke OF
Marlborough.
The evening times., 1895-10-14

Mrs. Langtry has now definitely aban-
doned all hope or recovering her Jewels.
and the suit which she has instituted against
the Union Bank, where they were in stor-
age, for their value, which she puts at
$500, 900, is likely to develop into a cause
celebre, as the bank proposes to question
her estimate OF the worth of the gems and
likewise to call for information as to the
doners, il they were gifts Many of them
are known to have been presented by men
whom 1t might cause domestic cmbarrass-
ment were their names to be made public
as prosecutors of jeweIry to pretty actresses
1t is understood that upon the outcome of
the suit will depend good deal whether
or not Mrs. Langtry becomes the wife of
young Sir Robert Peel after her divorce.
In any case her status as Lady Peel would
be open to question, as Mrs. Langtry is an
English citizen, and the British courts would
not recognize as legal any divorce OBJ
tained by the Jersey Lily in the United
States.

Lady Randolph Churchill seems to have
had very narrow escape from death while
bicycling the other day; for, coming sud
denly to the brow Of hill, which, atser
short and steep slope, terminated in
precpice-an abandoned stone quarry
several hundred feet deep, she perceived
her danger too late TO stop her wheel, and
merely saved herself by grasping with
both hands clump OF furze, her wheel
slipping away from under her and being
dashed to pieces on the rocks below. 1t was
some time before Lady Randolph cod re-
cover sufficiently from the fright and shock
to Chamber up from her periious position
to level ground. Although Lady Randolph
declines to admit the soft impeachment, ii
Is generally believed that she was indulging
in that most dangerous phase OF bicycle rid
ing, namely, coasting.

George Hinckley. the Latah
county embezzler, who is now serv-
ing a lengthy term in the peniten-
tiary, presents case of total de-
pravity, says the Boise Statesman.
"Hinckley is a splendid pen
man. He is also rapid account
ant, his adroitness both in addition
and subtraction being fully brought
out in the course of his trial on the
charge Of appropriating large sums
of Latah county funds during the
time he occupied the position of
deputy auditor and recorder. Nat
urally enough he was pressed into
service at the penitentiary office.
There was nothing for him to steal
there, and, under the watchful eyes
of the officers in charge, he would,
it was thought, be of more service
in the office than in the stone
quarry.
Taking advantage of the posi-
ton, however, he soon found a way
to open correspondence with several
LEVIED women. This he kept up for
some time. Hinckley's disgraceful
conduct finally reached the ears of
the governor and the chief eXecu-
tive at once took steps which re-
suited in Hinckley's removal from
the prison office. Before other
members of the board understood
