FINED SO EACH.
Coal Dealers Accused of Violation OF
Law-The Charge Denied.

Harry B. Denly and David L. Coon. pro-
prietors Of a coal yard, with Office located
at 1905 7th street northwest, were con-
victed in the Police Court late yesterday
afternoon on charge Of violating the
measure law, and paid a fine Of $40 each,
imposed by Judge Bundy. Ezidor May Of
1874 7th street northwest, the complainant.
testified that he purchased two bushels OF
coal from the defendants establishment De-
cember 10, and that he found quantity
of stone mixed with the fuel.
The defendants denied emphatically that
the stone could have become mixed with
the coal while it was in their possession.
They stated that they had received and
disposed Of fifteen car loads of coal between
the LIST and 10th Of December, and they had
received no complaint from any of their
customers. An employe of the firm gave
evidence to the effect that he handled all Of
the coal which went out of the yard, and he
was positive that there was no stone mixed
with it.
The defense also introduced a number of
witnesses who received coal from the same
lot as did Mr.. May. and they declared there
was nothing wrong with the fuel received
by them. In imposing fine Judge Bundy
remarked that it was a high and grave
offense to violate the law in regard to coal,
particularly at this time, when the demand
for fuel exceeded the supply.

STARS HALF CENTURY
PRESS COMMENTS ON THE ANNI-
VERsARY EDITION.
A Good Sign.

From the New York Tribune.
It Is encouraging evidence that the pub
lie Is not wholly crazed with the desire for
wild sensationalfsm, gross personalities, ap
peals to the baser elements of society and
topsy-turvy Typography to find The Wash
ington Evening Star celebrating its fifteth
anniversary with such abundant evidence
OF public confidence and great prosperity.
For thirty-five out of these fifty years The
Star has been under the control OF two
men who still remain in active charge of
1t. Mr.. c. 8. Noyes. originally of Maine and
Mr.. 8. H. Kaufman, originally of Ohio.
A more ideal working partnership has
rarely been formed; and as years creep on.
they enjoy now the pleasure Of seeing their
sons coming forward with every evidence
Of character and capacity to take up their
work. Such career Is good thing for
the community and a good thing for the
Journalism of the country. In an admirable
extra issue celebrating its fiftieth ami
versary, The Star has these cheerful words
about present tendencies:
I'm recent times a new style Of Journal
ism has sprung up. 1t has been styled vel
low journalism but 1t seems to display all
the loud colors of the a.nbow, with its red.
green and blue inks; its crazyQult patch
work Of gaudy pictures Of freak-show mon
strosities; Its higglety-pigglety arrange
ment of news matter in all styles and sizes
Of type. inclosed in boxed compartments.
and with every possible fanaticism of ar
ray calculated to catch the eye and dis
tract the brain of the reader. For time
seemed to carry everything before it. and
to threaten to overwhelm and teetota,ly
wipe out all the matter-of-fac newspaper
workers in the field: but the smoke of
battle lifts it is seen that the sane con-
sentative journals still hold the fort. And
they are not likely to be dislodged. The
reading world is growing larger all the
time. and the journalistic topsy-turvydom
will always have big street sale and at
tract the attention Of a large class Of
casual readers.
But the clean, thoughtful. carefully
Of The Star, that prints all the news worth
printing with an orderly arrangement of
news, editorial and advertising matter, so
classified that the reader can readily find
what he seeks, will always hold the con-
fidence and enjoy the patronage Of the
great mass Of the sensible, practical, think
ing people Of the community. And it will
always maintain its hold in the affections
of the family circle-in the homes OF the
people"

marvel Of mechanical achievement and as
history of Washington could not be ex-
