BRING QUICK RETURNS.
Small Ads. Produce Gratifying Re-
suits.

Mr. Clarence c. Archibald Of the L. P.
Darrell Advertising Agency and Ad.-
Writing Bureau speaks in the following
terms OF The Star as newspaper and ad-
VertsIng medium:
1.-THE Washington Evening Star Is one of
the best printed and DEMONSTRATING pa
pers in America. The type stands out
clearly, and the Illustrations both In the
news and advertising columns. are brought
out distinctly, even to the smallest details.
The effectiveness of any paper as an ad-
vertisng medium Is greatly enhanced by
typographical excellence-and in this re-
spect The Star leaves nothing to be desired.
I'm an experience covering more than
ten years In the Washington field have
had ample opportunity to test The Star
Tor all classes Of merchandise, and
have yet to find business that cannot be
greatly benefited by advertising in its col
umns. For direct results The Star would
seem to be the advertising medium par ex-
cellence. The paper is issued in the after
noon about 800 clock. and 1t Is not unusual
Tor merchants to have calls for goods adj
vertised before 4 o'clock. or within half an
hour after publication.
Gratifying returns are invariably receiv-
ed from tho smallest ads. in The Star-and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-12-16

thereby secures the services of expert ad-
vertisng men It a moderate price, and it is
also a source of economy to many of the
largest mercantile concerns, which avail
themselves of the opportunity to obtain pro-
ficient advertising service at a fraction of
what 1t would cost to have an advertising
man on ne premises. In this way the
clientele of the bureau includes advertisers
whose daily announcer, nts range in size
from six lines Qess than half an inch) to
whole pages.
Mr.. Louis P. Darrell of the firm pre-
viousy mentioned in speaking of The Star
as an advertising medium, said:
THE daily increase in advertising in The
Star during the past twelve months has
ranged from IS to % per cent. And that
serves to Illustrate what merchants think
of The Star as an advertising medium 1t
is paper that they can always count on
for results-it is paper they know will
absolutely cover the local field, because it
is a verified fact that The Star goes to far
more than a M .Ority of the homes in
Washington.
THE Star is primarily a home paper 1t
Is the paper that interests the head Of the
family because of its exhaustive treatment
of financial, business and general news
matter. 1t appeals to the women through
its fashion, society, household and shopping
features; even the childrens whims are
catered to, and the young men interested in
sports look to The Star for complete data
along that line. No matter what you wish
to advertise the readers of The Star are
the readers you desire to reach.
THE Saturday Star has grown wonder
fully in matter and popularity during the
past few years and now ranks side by side
with any Sunday newspaper published. 1t
Is a symposium of news and magazine
matter to appeal to the tastes of all ages
and all classes. 1t is an advertising me-
dunn. too, of no mean value, as to which
almost every local merchant will testify.
at would be difficult to cite all Ct the in
stances where advertising in TIE Star pays;
It would be more difficult ii 10 recall one
instance when it failed t. be productive of
some good. And this reminds me of one
peculiar feature Of advertising In The Star
position is not an essential factor. An
advertisement may appear on any page in
any part of the paper and bring returns to
the advertiser. l do not know of one local
merchant whose contract for advertising
space calls for a permanent position-when
almost every other newspaper l have
knowledge OF makes such contracts by the
score.
THE history OF The Star, II written,
would be a repetition of successes. One
success has led to another-one improve
ment to still greater improvements. And
Il has all been brought about through the
reliability, steadfastness and progressive
ness of the management and the clean.

Guide base bail, golf, bowling, rogue, ping
pong, tennis, etc, to say nothing Of boating,
racing and yachting. The news in regard to
these various sports usually occupies at
least a page in the newspaper, and some
times, In regard to special events, such as
international yacht race or a big suburban

Handling the News.
Coming now to what is strictly called the
editorial end of a newspaper, brings back
to memory the time when one man used to
handle all the copy, both local and tele-
graphic, that went into The Star, condens-
ing each item. if necessary; head it properly
and prepare it for the printer. He it was
who, at the close of the afternoon, went up
to the composing room, and if there was
press of matter, decided what should be
used and what should be left out. Now

The Stars Many Features Attract All
Readers.

Any interest manifested in advertising as
It appears in the papers of Washington
and particularly in The Star. is stimulated
by two conspicuous features that are not
always alled-that Is, quantity and qual-
ity. Unusual conditions contribute to the
one, while the latter is due to the subse-
quert effects of a unique idea originated
by a Washington newspaper man and de-
veloped to the fullest extent in this city.
In 1901 Mr.. Frank Il. NOyes, then bus
fness manager of Tie Star. conceived the
idea of organizing a bureau for the pur-
pose of writing and placing advertising
for local merchants. In honor of the pa
per, the orgina tor named the bureau
The Star Ad-Writing Bureau, and the

experience has been that a large percent
age of local advertisers use The Star ex-
clusively with the most profitable and
gratifying results.
ut is easy to trace the success of The
Star. Its management is conducive to sue
cess, its appearance is conducive to sue
cess, and being one of the greatest news
paper successes in the country 1t is an
inspiration and source of success to all
who participate in it's success.

A Great Many Advertisers Use Only
The Star.

I'm no other city in the country. save a
single exception, is advertising centered
so extensively in one newspaper as it is
in The Washington Evening Star" said
Mr. Robert w. Cox of the Darrell Adver-
Using Bureau.
I'm the exception noted the volume of
advertising is due to the size of few in
divdual advertisements, while in The Star
it is the aggregate of a phenomenal num-
Der of both large and small announcements.

For the Trial Of Juveniles.

A court for the trial Of Juveniles under
the age of sixteen years was established
January 18th of this year, for the purpose
of keeping the youthful offenders of the law
separated from the hardened criminals, and
this court is held three days a week. being
presided over alternately by the judges OF
the Police Court. Fines are imposed as In
the other court. but in default of payment
the Juveniles, instead of being sent to the
Jail or workhouse, are placed under the OBJ
seryation of the board of childrens guard
ians for period of six months, and if they
are again brought into court and it is de-
cided that the probation has accomplished
no good they are committed to the reform
school at the discretion of the court.
The business of the Police Court has In
creased to such an extent within the last
few years that the present building is no
longer adequate for the purpose for which
1t is used. There are no accommodations
for those who are compelled to attend court
as witnesses, and the prisoners are con-
fined in three small cells, the atmospheric
conditions therein during warm weather be-
ing almost unbearable.
The judges of the Police Court are Ivory
G. Kimball and Charles +. Scott.

Formerly the reporter did all sorts Of
work, from police work up to political con-
ventions. Now there are specialties in re-
porting, the same as there are spetdalties in
every other profession The highest type
OF reporter on metropolitan newspaper
is that Of political reporter. He must
keep In touch with national affairs, must
be upon terms Of acquaintanceship with
cabinet officers, senator's and representa-
tives In Congress-, and must be SO familiar

splendid and superb; his abilities were
Immense and prominently useful 70 the
Pope. And the Pope used him On all oc-
casions as his most serviceable subject,
rewarding him with lavish generosity for
the service which he rendered. Between
the Duke and his sovereign patron there
was a certain privileged and familiar con-
fdence; but never intimate relationship
or flial and paternal love" 1t Is further
argued that the attitude OF Cardinal Guiliano
della Revere, his furious, blind. instructive
and Unsuitable hatred Of Alexander VI.
and Of every one connected with him, is
susceptible Of an easy explanation. II
bears the strongest possible resemblance
10 the passion OF Jealous, revengeful rage
which consumes an ordinary man with
regard 10 a superior in physique or
breeding who has supplanted him in the
favors Of a lady. II is true that both Car
dinal Rodrigo and Cardinal Guiliano were
both Princes Of the Church in l474. the ttmo
Of the birth Of Duke Cesare. On the ono
hand. however. Cardinal Rodrigo had
wealth and illustrious ancestry. an incom-
parable charm Of manner and a sumptuous
aspect, He was magnificent and irwin
cible. Cardinal Guiliano, on the other hand,
had, as q boy, peddled onions in a boat
between Arbisola and Genoa; he had no
money except the revenues Of a few bene-
flccs; he was Of a saturnine habit Of mind,
and he was personally repulsive to luis
fellow creatures. His portraits eIhibit
as a hatefully ugly man, with satyr
brows, sunken and bleared eyes, a fierce
but hsggard mien, the animal sppetites
hugely predominant in the lips. the back
Of the head and the curious little muscles
which tend o~bliquoly downward right and
left in tho region Of the root Of the nose.
Guiliano della Rovere'3 physique did not
qualify him TO gain or retain the fidelity
Of any woman, and IL Is an historical fact
that, while Giovanni de- Catanei was his
mistress in 1873, she throw him over for Car
dinal Rodrigo Boreia in the following year.
1t is a fact often overlooked that tho
great-grandson Of Alexander VI, Fran
cisco de Borgia, the grandson Of that Duke
of Gambia who married Dona Maria de
Aragona, became in 1865 General of the
Company of Jesus, and in 1871 was can

MEXICO GOING TO GOLD BASIS.

Mexico is going to adopt gold bas-
is. Mr.. Aspiroz the Mexican ambassa-
dor to the United States, said that
such was the plan and determination
of President Diaz and that it would
be carried out as rapidly as the
economic conditions of the country
would permit. 1t is reported that Mr..
Limantour, the min ster of finance,
has entered into negotiations with a
syndicate of New ork bankers to sup
ply the government with $50O00,000 of
gold for redemption purposes. but Mr.
Aspiroz knows nothing about that.
He has heard the story, but his gov
eminent has not advised him as to
its plans if it has any in that direction.
To the Chicago Record Herald Mr..
Aspiroz said
THE only active step that has been
taken thus far toward a gold basis,
is the enactment of a law by the
congress of Mexico, which is already
in force. requiring the payment OF
customs duties in gold Or the equiva-
lent upon theoretical exchange at
120 per cent premium. Therefore as
the price of silver goes down the
customs duties are increased to cor
responding amount when paid in sill
yer, which is the currency of the
country:
"As an illustration. the rate of ex
change being about l70 at present. the
importing merchants have their choice
between paying their duties in gold
at 500 or in silver at 500. AS the
exchange is calculated at 12o, the ac-
tual difference is $50 in silver.
The great difficulty in my country
is that we produce so much silver
and so little gold, but the production
of gold is rapidly increasing particu-
larry in the northwestern part of the
republic
The statistics of the Mexican gov
eminent shows that the production OF
gold in the last few years has in
creased as follows:
1919 .=.#....#.#........... S.3o000t
1900 ............. ....... 5000 00t
l3ol o,2S4 ,UU(
1902 testimated) ......... II 900 600
The production of silver in Mexico
in 1898 amounted to 56,73S, 900 ounces
which had commercial value OF
$50, 475 900 in gold, and in 1901 it was
57.437 900 ounces, valued at s35.G3l
o00. The following table will show
the production of silver and gold in
the United States during. the CORES
