brother, Mike Raedy, who recently re-
signed from the roped arena to WELD the
policeman's baton, suddenly decided that
he wanted a lawyer.
Lawyer Sillers was sent for in hurry.

1t is true that in the task of plac-
ing advertising man must not be
guided by the matter OF circulation
alone. Some large circulations are
poor circulations, and some small cir
culations are good. The circula-
tion OF The Times, whichhappens to
be the largest in Washington and
this may easily be believed, with
its three editions, morning, evening
and Sunday-is a good circulation
as well as a large circulation. Its
subscribers read the paper, or they
wouldn't take it. They are not
wasting any money; and they
find that for cent a day,
or for two cents a day for
the two editions OF the daily, they
can keep up with the news of the
world twice as well as by subscrib-
ing TO any other Washington news
paper, and that they can do il for
the same money or less. They also
find in The Times each day choice
assortment OF general reading mat
ter. The adverusefs OF Washington
have not been slow to understand
that the circulation OF The Times
is good and productive (brings re-
suits, that isl as well as the largest.
Is the paper read, and read all
through? II it is its advertise
ments are the most effective.

Yesterday afternoon about three
o'clock Edward Taylor Walker, colored,
grandson of Mrs Jennie Taylor, of
the Island, and pupil of Lincoln
school, was instantly killed, on the sus-
pension bridge, while on his way home,
after the afternoon session of the
school.
Young Walker, who was about eight
years of age, started over the bridge,
and fell in behind one of the big wag-
ons of the Speidel Grocery Company,
which was on its way to Bridgeport with
heavy load. The boy asked the driv-
er, j. Wilkinson, for permission to ride
over the bridge, but was told that the
load was too big, and to keep away.
The boy kept right behind the wagon,
however, at the left hand side, and when
about half way over the bridge, either
attempted to get on, or Else he tripped
fell between the left hand rear wheel
of the wagon and the south sidewalk of
the bridge, which is about eight or ten
inches higher than the roadway. He
fell in such a position that his head was
forward of the rear left hand wheel of
the heavy truck, and this passed over
his head, fracturing the skull and per-
haps breaking the neck as well. Sew
eral persons, including d well-known
lady, saw the accident, and the city
ambulance was at once called and the
body removed to the residence of the
grandmother of deceased, in the rear Of
No. Al Virginia street. Coroner Schultze
was also summoned, but deferred the
holding of the inquest until to-day.
No blame appears to attach to the
driver, who had warned the boy away
from the wagon before the accident hap
pened. The boy-child-like- continued
to attempt to get a ride, however, and
the accident followed from force of cir
cumstances beyond the power of any
one to avert. The little fellow was a
particularly bright boy, and will be
mourned by many who knew him. His
mother, Laura Taylor, was graduate
of Lincoln school, at the Opera House,
about nine years ago.
