GALVESTON. Tex, June 1.-THE repor,

SO. He does not believe ths fever will
spread, saying the germs would be stamped

BoN4-F1DE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement b.
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona fde one.
1t Is easily possible for q news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in or1er to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
Judge by results. and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation Of The Star
is many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper.

Dinsmore in Opposition.

MIR. Dinsmore, the ranking democrat
upon the committee "on foreign affairs,
opened the debate i'm opposition. He de-
clared his belief that. no constitutional
power existed to annex by joint resolution,
was proposed, and opposed annexation
as being undesirable.
1t would be, he insisted. the first step
upon policy of colonial aggression. in an
tage nism to the established rule of the
government, and added that the reaching
out into foreign lands and the establish
nent there of American institutions would
neeesstate the abandohment of the Mon

not Interfere in other lapds and prohibit

WHAT PAUL SAID.

Guests had arrived Unexpectedly at
the country parsonage on Sunday
morning, Phe weekly supply of but
ter had run short, so the hospitabls
host dispatched old Joe, the colored
man, to his neighbor. Mr.. Paul, whose
dairy always boasted a surplus. The
parson proceeded to church with his
well prepared sermon on some Of the
best sayings of the great apostle and
was we'll under way with it when old
Joe, returning empty handed, conclu-
ded he would quietly slip III and hear
his master preach. Just as he entered,
the preacher stretched forth his hand
in a most impressive interrogation Of
voice and manner, and called out,
''And what did Paul sayG" Distinctly
sounded through the church old Joe's
reply, He says, marster, he amt
goin' to let you have no more butter
till you pay for dat last you got."-

It is go nice of her to give us 8 way to

Jennie TO be it's editor3
like Cosmos letter about airts, and
l, too, will join in the fight against
them. I suppose we shall conquer, for
few care 80 defend them.
l think Ara writes a real nice letter

That won en- are made out of girls.
and that men are made out Of boys.
That, if you are a worthless girl,
you will be a worthless woman; and il
you are a worthless boy, you will be g
worthless man.
That the best educated men and wo-
men once did not know the 50. B.

That all the things which you are

That the efforts spent in making

That a life of usefulness and help
