Matter of Historic Interest.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
On Tuesday last The Evening Star OF
Washington. D. c., issued a special mum.
Der in honor of it's fiftieth birthday. The
Star is always a good-sized paper, but this
number consisted of ia pages. including a
magazine supplement, and carried an i'm
mense amount of interesting matter. The
Star was started in a small way in 1852
and it's growth has kept even pace with
that of modern Washington. At the begin
ming Of the civil war it had but a limited
circulation and local influence, but it has
grown to be one of the great papers of the
country and one Of the best newspaper
properties. Its special anniversary number
contained large amount of matter of his
toric interest and was an excellent presen-
tation of the Washington of today.

of the vigor and energy of the American

a complete history Of Washington and the
other is a very interesting resume Of the

A Triumphal Chariot.
From the Troy Times,


The Washington Star celebrated last
week it's fiftieth anniversary, and made
the occasion memorable by the publica-
ton of an issue of great value as MIS-
tory of the Washington that has beer
and an exposition of the Washington that
is. The semi-centeennial number was full
of valuable illustrations and of letter press
of historical interest. The Star is justly
proud of the fact that in the development
of Washington that journal has had ali in
f1uential part and has seen the city grow
until it has become, as The Star shows
a political, educational, art and literary
center. Our Washington contemporary has
been guiding Star to the District of Co
lumbia The Troy Times is a little more
than a year older than The Washington
Star, and therefore can offer the congratu-
lations Of an elder if not bigger brother
We congratulate the national reservation
on having SO enterprising and repres enta-
tive a newspaper, and the Messrs. Noyes
on their good fortune in having hitched
their wagon to a Star and thereby made
a triumphal chariot.

Greatest Circulation.
From the Scranton Times.

The fftieth anniversary number of The
Evening Star, published at Washington, D.
c., was published last Tuesday. The round
ing of The Stars half-century was fittingly
celebrated by the issuance of a sixty-four
page number and an illustrated supplement,
in which the progress of the capital and the
progress of the paper are detailed at length.
1t is safe to say that the progress in jour
nalism fully kept pace with the progress
of the capital. 1t is far cry from the
crude methods of printing, of getting news,
and of distributing newspapers from the
the methods in vogue today. The telegraph,
the telephone, the perfecting press, the
type-setting machine have all come into
play since then and the limited express for
purposes of distribution. The Star occupies
the same place in Washington journalism
that the Times does in Scranton. 1t has a
greater circulation than all the other dailies
in its city combined.
