dedicated to serving the public in the best
possible way. The Star is not a he wspaper
for any class or any clique. A thorough
investigation will demonstrate that all the
intelligent people of the District of Column
bia, without regard to their social position,
their wealth, their politics, or their religious
faiths read The Star.
The Star is very fortunate in being pub
lished in a community where there are no
politics, but it recognizes the fact that the
people of Washington are vitality interested
in politics from the national point of view
and in the political happenings in different
sections which have their effect upon at
fairs in this city. The Star therefore COW

ly and promptly; but wholly from the non

this sta tement to even a casual observer.
An Afternoon Newspaper Field.
Washington is peculiarly a field for sue
cessful afternoon newspaper. In the first
place, most of the executive business OF
the departments is practically over by
o'clock; the decisions are made, the letters
are written and in the mails. When Con-
gress is in session, the committees meet by
10 o'clock, are through by II o'clock, the
two Houses meet at II o'clock, and have
transacted much of their most important
business in few hours afterwards, the

population of the city. Another class is
composed of those who are in business
who supply the daily wants of the commu-
nifty, keep stores, drive carriages, run
street cars, gas companies, cater to all the
needs and desires of the city, who form no
inconsiderable element readers and pur-
chasers, for the majority of them are in
tellgent and well to do.
Then there is quite a distinct class of
people Of assured moderate incomes who
live here because they can get more for
their money than they can get anywhere
else Washington offers great attractions
to people who belong to this class.
Here they have the advantages of our
splendid libraries. general and technical,
and multitude CT institutions which exist
nowhere else in the country. and which are

A Peculiar Field.

Washington is q peculiar field. The District
of Columbia is walled around, so to speak,
by other interests, and there is no profitable
field outside of that wall in which Wash
ington man can push his business. The Dis
trict has total area of only sixty nine and
one-quarter square miles Go few miles east
and north, and YOU are in Maryland, where
all interests, social, financial and political,
center in Baltimore or Annapolis; go across
the Potomac, into Virginia, and all interests
center in Richmond go west, beyond George
town, and you are in the country. Around
Washington there are none of those clusters
of prosperous villages tributary to 1t along
the railroad lines, such as are in the north
east, around Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, or around any western city of any
considera BILE size.
The Star covers the District of Columbia
completely. The advertisers of Washington
appre ciate this. They understand that one
newspaper covering the entire field is a dis
tnct advantage, first, because it enables
them to reach the entire population, at the
least possible expense, and second, it ena-
bles them to reach that population with the
largest degree of influence When the
tire community reads a newspaper regular
ly, subscribes for that newspaper supports
it with advertising patronage, and does this
for thirty or forty years, it is the best sort
of evidence that that newspaper has become
tuition.
For a newspaper to have universal cir
culation in any community it must be

else is it possible to live in the enjoyment
of such advantages these at anything
like such a reasonable cost.
The Great American City.
The city of Washington is the great
American city. 1t is made up of the repre-
sentative people from all sections of the
country. 1t bends its energies to their en-
tertainment. Washington is thoroughly
cosmopolitan, and therefore the social and
intellectual as well the political center
of the country. This attracts a class, which
is constantly and rapidly increasing, of
people who live here on account of the So
cial attractions of the city, it's genial eli
mate, its wide clean, smooth streets, its
beautiful parks and numerous reservations,
it's splendid urban and suburban transpor-
tation facilities and its attractive surround
ing country.

STRIKE AFFECTS SIX THOUSAND
FIGHT AGAINST TWO LOOM SYSTEM OF
AMERICAN wooLLEN COMPANY CLOSES
MANY MILLS
LEY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Providence, r. L, Feb. 2.-The strike of the
employees OF the American Woolen Company
which became general yesterday afternoon. af-
Sects six thousand operatives. The fight against
the two loom system Of the American Woollen
Company began at the Weybosset Mills and
gradually extended to the Riverside Mills Of the
same company. Protests against the system had
been duly filed and petitions made but without
effect Yesterday afternoon the weavers of the
two mills voted that nothing but clay diagonals
should be run on two looms. The trust issued a.
bulletin saying that owing TO the action OF the
weybosset and Riverside weavers the National,
Providence and Manton mills of the company
well as the two mills directly affected would
be shut down until further notice. This stops
the production OF 1,400 looms out of the $500
operated by the trust. These silent looms are
divided as follows: Five hundred and fifty at
the National and Providence mills combined $50
at the Riverside Mills. 200 at the Manton Mills
and 800 at the Weybosset Mills
The employees say that the trust closed these
other mills to shut off contributions to the
that the 5000 looms of the Washington Mills of
the trust at Lawrence. Mass. will soon be silent
and that soon every mill of the American Wool
len Company will be closed. The strikers are
hopeful and are predicting early victory. The
fact that The Atlantic Mills. at Olneyville, not
owned by the trust, have recently increased
wages 10 per cent, and that other independent
their refusal TO abide by the two loom policy
has added 20 the feeling of hopefulness.
The officials Of the American Woollen Com
pany decline TO discuss the situation.
