THE TIMES STILL GAINING.
Figures That Lie-How the Star Mis-
represents 10 the Public.

Figures in0t l-ie-hOW the STAR AiS-
represents 10 the Public.
Saturdays Star announced that its
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofany other Washingtonpaperand
TO be fully five times that of any afternoon
contemporary" This Justification is easy
to expose.
The daily. average circulation of The
Times for the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 33,367; that
of the Star was rs, 600. For the sake OF
the argument, let us admit that the Star
has five times the circulation of our even
ing edition. 0ne-fifth the circulation of
the Star is 5 1867 Subtract that amount
from 80. 367, the average of The Times,
and 81 .637 is left 10 represent the cir
culation of our morning edition. Com
pare that amount with the 2S,65O which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou
sands in excess of any other Washington
paper" and you will see that its figures lie.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was 171,901. That of The Times
was 223,TT6 The Star gained 1,424
in circulation during the week and The
Times added to its list 1851.
These figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the most popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate to
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.
The Times is in the lead and viii stay
there, because it is the best daily in Wash
ington.

Ingratitude!

Dedicated to your intimate friends.
Ingratitude, base, faithless, and revilcd;
Satan's choicest, dearest, loveliest child;
synonym OF all the earthly Crimes.
ia-like-conscienceless, terror of all
times.
Ingratitude! the bypocrite of Fate:
The monster mortal in both home and state;
Assassin of all virtue and all truth;
The horror of old age and honest youth.
Ingratitudei false, deathless be thy pain;
Monster of iniquity; all for gain: q
Lie incarnatel On mountain, sea, or dell
Down; down with thee TO everlasting hell!!!

Mr.. Groome says:
'.The poet was alwa VS. perfectly carelessas

double-breasted lowered satin waistcoat,

likely, tied over his hat. Yet one always

AT Night.

nj
When we are weary with the world wego
Unto the quiet of our homes, and when
The night is still-and lamps are burning
low,
We do remember all the days work tbenl
And comesa w ish, beforethe tiredlps close
Before we sink into the arms of sleep
To kneel to Him who every><orrow knows
And closer to the heart of Him to creep!
The children will come home-the play all
The school tasks ended. in the twilight
chill; 81 .
And with soft, clinging arms of love adore
The sheltering bosom of the mother still.

When de frost is on de possum an de later

immense assortment of choice pieces and
cuttings in American cut glass.
Having in stock only the very best
make, and this in very complete variety,
we feel justified in saying that it is posi-
bic for us to give you the choicest of the

States could not better supply your wants.
WE CLAIM that out make of Cut Glass
is the WHITEST and most BRILLIANT
produced, taking the highest awards at
the Paris Exposition, where it came in
competition with every make of cut glass
in the World. The enormous sales dur
ing the past two years fully convince US
that there is no doubt in your minds as to
the merit of our goods.
We are also showing a new assortment
of fine feathers, with and without mount
ings, notably among which are some
handsome Chatelaine bags in Seal, Lizard,
Kangaroo and Morocco. You we'll know
the difficulty of trying to purchase a really
handsome bag, and we feel sure you will

communication between the outer
islands and the United States.

Art Pottery

which though new to this market is not
entirely unknown to our connoiSseurS. In
some respects it closely resembles several
of our Enlish Potteries; yet it possesses
characteristics in colorings and decorations
so diStinctively its own that you see at
once its difference from other makes. The
assortment is unusually large, and contains
absolutely NO DUPLICATES, affording
every one an opportunity to provide for
themselves a choice piece, without the
fear of finding another dozen of the identi-
cal pattern, in as many homes.
But the GREAT CONSIDERATION is the
lOwnesS of price.
Whilst it grades with the finest pot
teries produced, we can afford to sell it at
BARELY ONE-hALF the price of SINH
lar wares in other makes. That is a mat
ter which you cannot afford to overlook.
