OF THE EVENING STAR
Paper Found in. a Trunk in the
Town ef Globe,
Arizona.

Representative Hayden of Arizona has
received a copy IL the Globe (Ariz.)
Record. in which Is printed an article
stating the discovery of copy Of the
first issue Of The: Evening Star in a
trunk in the town af Globe. The article
is as follows:
A copy of the first issue Of The Wash
ington Star. published December 16. 1852
was shown yesterday by Arthur Hull
who found 1t stored: among a lot of half
forgotten effects In an old trunk. The
paper is a curiosity as it was the second
newspaper in the tinted States to wir
success at a subscription price Of l cent
The first was the Few York Sun, which
made its appearance September 3, 1888.
Dailies of That Date, 254.
There were only ::,54 daily newspapers
in the United States when The Star first
made its appearance. The founder was
Joseph B. Tate. The following pro-
spectus. printed or page l of the old
newspaper, is interesting:
THE undersigned proposes to publish. sc
soon as a sufficient number Of subscrip-
tons shall have peTn obtained to justify
the undertaking, sally afternoon paper,
to be called the Daily Evening Star.
THE Star is designed to supply de-
sideratum which has long existed at the
metropolis Of the nation. Free from party
trammels and secta:ian influences, it will
preserve a strict neutrality, and, while
maintaining a fearless spirit of independ-
ence will be devoted. in an especial man
ner. to the local interests Of the beauti-
full city which bears the honored name of
Washington, and to- the welfare and hap
piness of the large and growing popula-
ton within its borders. To develop the
resources of the nietropOlis-to increase
and facilitate its mercantile operations-to
foster and encourage its industrial pur-
suits-to stimulate its business and trade
to accelerate its progress in the path to
power and greatness-these shall be the
main objects Of the paper
Promises Made.
THE Star will ago beam forth intelli-
gence from all sections Of the country. by
telegraph and mail, and give it in form
so condensed as not to render it necessary
to sift a bushcl Of .haff before finding a
grain of wheat. The articles, editorial
and selected, will be brief. varied and
sprightly. Nothing shall be admitted into
its columns offensive to any religious sect
or political party--nothing, in a moral
point Of view, to which even the most
fastidious might object 1t Is the deter
mination Of the publisher to make 1t n
paper which will be a. welcome visitor to
every family and one which may be
profit.
"The editorial department will be under
the direction of a gentleman Of ability
and tact"

Judge Petit intended his criticism to
include other alienists introduced by the
defense. and pointed out that their evil
dence had been ignored by the jury.

WILLIAM CHENEY ELLIS
ACCEPTS PRISON TERM
In Sentencing Wife Slayer, Court
Scores Alienists and Defend
ants Counsel.

CHICAGO. March 14.-William Cheney
Ellis. Cincinnati leather merchant, con-
victed of killing his wife, accepted a SEN
tence of fifteen years in the state peni-
tertiary today without making an effort
to get new trial. Formal motion for
retrial. made by Ellis counsel was
withdrawn and Judge Petit imposed the
sentence set by the jury.
The imposition of the sentence by Judge
Petit was marked by denunciation from
the bench directed at Ellis's counsel,
whom he accused of abandoning his
client at preliminary stage" of his fight
for life.
Judge Petit directed Stephen Malate,
assistant states attorney. to investigate
| the conduct of DR.. Thomas Hogan, Jail
physician, who testified for Ellis
Scores Defendants Attorney.
THE action of Mr. Remus in withdraw
ing his motion for a new trial speaks
volumes and has sinister significance -
said the judge. 1T shows that he be-
lieves the testimony Of his own medical
witnesses to have been without founda-
ton. Each Of these aliensts testified tina,
Ellis was insane when he committed the
crime and hence had no power to choose
between right and wrong. If. Mr.. Remus
believed the testimony of these doctors
to be true, then ne must believe that his
client is innocent and his action of today
in abandoning the case at this prelimi-
nary stage is extraordinary"
Judge Petit went on to declare that
DR.. Hogans testimony at the trial was
directly opposite to his opinions eX-
pressed outside of the court.
Two friends of the court have in
formed me that they talked to Hogan
some time before the trial. and that he
said to them that Ellis was sane, and
never had been insane. Then he testi-
fies in court that the man is insane"

WHEAT TAKES DROP
ON VICTORY BY ALLIES
Selling Out on a Huge Scale Causes
9H2 Cents a BusheI Smash
In the East.


Chicago, Sept. 15.-Wheat prices
Monday underwent almost as violent a
change as when not quite seven weeks
ago the war bulge in quotations began.
Excitement in the present case, how
ever, was about the prospect of a
swift approach of peace, traders gen
orally taking the view that the tri-
umphs of the allies meant it would be
unlikely for hostilities to be prolonged.
Selling out of wheat Monday was on
a huge scale from first to last, and
caused an extreme smash of 81 cents
a bushel as compared with 81 cents
advance July 2S, on the occasion that
relations between Germany and Eng.
land were broken off. The downward
swing of prices Monday brought wheat
as low as $1.21h a bushel for May de-
livery as against $1.20 Saturday night
and 1872 just a week previous, Sep
TENDER 5, the topmost level of the war.
Between July % and September 8
the rise in the price of May wheat was
41S cents. of which nearly one-half
has now been wiped out At $1.11A,
May, the closing quotation Monday
the net remainder Of the war advance
is 21$ cents a bushel.
