THE STAR resorts to no

LIE . AN IcSOIIS 10 no
transparent tricks, so common
nowadays, in the manipulation
of figures to deceive advertisers.
Its circulation is not made to
appear larger than it is by either
addition or multiplication. 1t
prints a single, regular edition,
each day.. averaging consider
ably over $1,000 copies, and
these do not go to junk shops
or paper mills, either. They are
all disposed of to newsstands,
newsboys, and bona fide regular
permanent subscribers. OF the
latter class The Star has more
than three times as many as any
other paper in Washington,
and ten times more readers.
These facts explain the value Of
its advertising columns as med
iums of desirable publicity.

TUESDAY MORNINGS BLAZE.
4 $4,000 Fire ON Elliot street---WAs
Its Origin Incendiarys---It Looks that
Way.

The department was called out TO sub
due what was probably another incendiAry
fire early Tuesday morning. Michael Cav
anaugh was walking out Elliot street to-
ward his house at 1850 O'Clock, and while
passing the house owned by William and
Mary Martin at l04 Elliot street saw a
bright light through the windows in the
rear end of the house. After ascertalning
that fire was in progress he pulled in an
alarm from box "a. Steamer No. s, the
hose companies and the hook and ladder
company responded. The steamer was
stationed on Flat street, taking suction
from MILESTONE brook. II refused 10
work, however, on account of the gravel
under its valves, which was drawn in at
the Valley Grain company's fire, and
steamer No. was called. From five TO
eight minutes elapsed before q stream
could be thrown. -Four streams, includ-
ing three from hydrants, were directed
against the flames and at o'clock the fire
was under control and the recall was
sounded. The department remained on
duty for another hour, wetting down the
adjacent buildings and drowning out the
flames.
The building was unoccupied, which
makes the theory of incendiarism the more
plausible. Another circumstance which
strengthens the belief that the fire was set
is the fact that the doors, which were kept
locked, were unlocked when the fire was
discovered. The fire started in the south
west corner of the basement of the L and
burned through the roof. There was an
insurance Of 5000 on the building, with
Sherman d JENNIE. Although the main
part of the building still stands it is prac-.
tically ruined.
The experience of the department, when
ever the steamers take water from Whet-
stone brook, suggests the necessity of
building small tanks or reservoirs at con-
venient points along the brook, by which
the trouble caused by drawing sand into
the steamers pipes and valves would be
obyiated.

Young Peoples MeetIng---the Town

There was the usual observance OF ThAnksgiv-
ing day by the churches and young peoples So
ciet,es, begnnin with sunrise meeting at the
Baptist church at o'clock In which all the J Dung
peoples societies participated. AT l0:45 O'Clock
a union meeting was held in Festival hall in which
Revs. Hough. LeaVitt and Brown took part, the
other clergymen having engagements elsewhere
L. W. HaWley conducted the singing. The re-
sponsive reading, led by Mr. Hough, was followed
Y prayer by Mr. Hough In which he gave thanks
for the fayors OF the past, for the individual ma
tion, for the reiRR Of peace from sea TO sea, and
that the voice of the United States was to be
heard In the councils of nations, battling for
peace and honor. Mr.. Hough also read the
Thanksgiving proclamation Mr.. Leavttts ad
dress was clear and forceful, containing flashes
of wit and satire, and forceful and happy use
of language throughout. The address was, in
the main, a comparison OF the present time with
that OF 1921 when the governor of the
Massachusetts, colony sent out four men
with guns TO get the supplies for the first
Thanksgiving dinner. One feature Of that
occasion-the dnner-is still maintained. The
speaker mentioned three great changes which
have occurred since 1921 in the order Of their i'm
portance, viz, between man, generally and
specially employed, the change from poverty TO
wealth, and, lastly, the constant increase OF &C
tivity. With the advance of civilizati IN and the
specialization of a II callings. the character Of
man s work is so narrowed that he is apt to for
get the real object of life and to place material
gains in advance of his own spiritual welfare.
Money exerts a very great influence which II was
impossible 10 do years ago, but that influence Is
c0mmendable IN 80 far as II IL used for the es-
tablishment OF great enterprises which shall be
benefit to mankind.
The lessons which the speaker sought to ncul.
cate was that man should be a master of more
slaves rather than slave of more masters, or,
in other words, that man should not become a
slave 20 his business.
