Miss Jones' Reception.

The constantly increasing attendance at
Miss Jones reception, held each day from
l to 8 and to Ii pm at 1911 Pennsylvania
avenue, Is substantial and well-deserved
evidence Of the interest this lady is excit-

power of hypnotic suggestion passes the
belief of many. Major Gautz, the merry
midget, thirty-four years old and but eight
cen inches in height, is becoming very pcpu-
lar with ladies and children who attend

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FORT MONROE, Va, February 24.-The
transport Mcpherson, lowed by tile steamer
Admiral Sampson, passed in the capes at
daybreak and anchored off the Fort Mon
roe quarantine station. She brings troops
from Cuba.
The transport had thrilling experience.
During the heavy storm of Monday, while
440 miles at sea. she broke her propeller
shaft and drifted helplessly for many
hours almost to the coast of Bermuda. As
sistance was asked of a little Italian steam
err but her captain was afraid the big trans
port would swamp him.
Excellent discipline prevailed. Contem-
plating any emergency rations were imme-
diately cut down to all of the 16S people
aboard. Much personal bravery was shown.
When it appeared that the broken shaft
must snap the rudder unless secured the
entire crew volunteered for the dangerous
duty. The four men selected performed
the task successfully. and the ship, then
manageable, was put under sail power.
Wednesday severe storm arose, which
drove her further out of her course.
Thursday night a Ward liner stood by for
three hours. but the transport was making
Roadway under sail Yesterday morning,
however, she accepted the Admiral Samp-
sons assistance. The difficult work of Sc

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order 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 clrcula-
lions don't give them.
The family circulation Of The Star
is many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper.

Is 1T RIuHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
ent Medicines?

From sylvan Valley News, Brevard, NC.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which food
the market, yet as a preventative to
of suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while ply
stefan is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medi-
cine for a cure, but we do believe that
if a bottle of Chamberlain's Darrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and adj
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be re quired.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For
sale by all druggists.

What does it profit woman if she

lose her own health? Young womer
students, and school teachers, eager, am.
bilious, and full of energy, very ofter
neglect their health in the struggle tc
gain education. They eat insufficient
food, and at irregular hours, they allow
irregularity of the womanly functions to
be established, and the result is that they
become chronic invalids with all theil

appealed to them for aid in the battle

At the close of his appeal an old man

said to the speaker: "We bear you no
malice, Mr.. Merchant, but now it is your
turn. Thirty years ago the concentra-
ton of capital in machinery began to
crowd men of my class and we appealed
to you for sympathy and help. You
plainly told us that the law of survival
of the fttest which had overtaken us.
You were right. You small retail deal

right you were. The trusts and the mo-
nopolies have pushed you out of business
and you find you must consort with labor
gainst the combinations of capital.
And now, to prove our good will and

ion in your behalf: Whereas, Misery

That we welcome the retail merchal Is

the same time and place. If the Demo-

plainly for public ownership and direct

sympathy with their ideas is placed on

Congress has been in session over two
months but no republican member has
yet introduced bill to curtail the power
of trusts. Mckinley has been In power
three years and during that time four
billions of dollars have been organized into
trusts and he has not even reached forth
his hand to stay them. The republican
party is opposed to trusts to about the
same extent that the devil is opposed to
sin.
