Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries of
distress have from time to timo been
heard from tlio camps of lla-compctitors.
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtaken mid distanced In the rate
for popularity that underhand methods
whiih would not be tolerated In ordinary
business transactions, were called InUi use.
The numerous merchants "who hare been
approached, and "who have kindly kept Tho
Tiiucs informed, afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength ot The
Times, and its value as an advertising -i
medium ii strength that cannot be fJialcn
so lung as more than 100,000 readers daily
say that The Times Is their favorite paper.
The total number of copies of The Times
actually sold and distributed during the
past week -was 228, 1!'3. showirg a gain
over the preceding week of 1,020, and
C0,0 12 more than its nearest rival. These
figures speak for themselves and .ire not
affected by slanderous tongues.
Circulation brings results, and merchants
who use The Times obtain the results for
whiih they advertise.
The circulation of The Times for tho

COMFOU-T FO CC1IA. -
The day is come and the hour when the
people of the District of Columbm "will
give expression to their sentiments regard
ing the struggle now being made by the
people of Cuba to free tlunit-elves from
ttie iron yoke of Spain. There is good
ground for the belief that the Spanish
government, through its diplomatic rep
resentative here, lias entered a formal
protest against this meeting and has
sought to induce tho rrcsident, or. State
Department to use what power or influ
ence they may to prevent it, and thus
Interfere with the constitutional right
of public assembly. In this circuiijtance
lies all the more reason for a great gather
ing. A cause that, like Spain's, cannot
bear the strain of public discussion, Is
condemned by that cry fact.
A meeting of this kind in Washington
differs from those of a like character In
any other city in the United States, be
cause" Washington contains citizens of
every State and Territory of the 'Union
and they give voice. In a measure, to the
feelings, sentiments, and sympathies of
their friends at home. The expression,
therefore, which will emanate from to
night's assemblage, will be of greater
significance than any that have yet been
made, and the resolutions that, may be
adopted will find their echo in every city,'
town, village, and hamlet of the United
States. To Cuba's struggling patriots
they will not only bear a message of greet
ing, and sympathy, but the assurance that
their cause has found advocates and sup-,
porters in the very heart of this nation.
More accurately and more fully than of
any other meeting that lias been, or may
be held, will the proceedings of this one
be reported to the Madrid government.
Two of the leading Journalists of Spain
will advise the government and people of
Spain as to who spoke, what was said,
and what was the temper of the people
Who listened. Because of these facts,
iiie sense of the meeting ought to be ex
pressed in language that will leave no
doubt in the minds of the Spaniards that
the people of Washington, who, in no
Inconsiderable degree, are representative
of the people of the United States, are
wltn Cuba and the Insurgents heart and j -
soul, hope and pray for their success, and I
will cio an that citizens may do, without
compromising the international obliga
tions ot their government, to give aid and
comfort to the Cuban cause.
OCR F1B.E DEPARTMENT.
In their estimates to be submitted to
Congress the Commissioners have sundry
Items relating to an increase or the fire
department, and also au increase or the
pay of tho men. On both these points
It would be difficult to find good ground
for objection, save In the minds of some
Congressmen who seek to gain a little
cheap notoriety among their constituents
by opposing all appropriations for the"
District, because, as they say, their peo
ple nave no business being taxed for the
support of the people of the District of
Cojambla. It would be expecting ton much
to think that the Impending Congre3 will be
an exception to any of its prcdecejiors'in
this particular,
Such incr'tRi ot the pay ot the members,
ut.Uie.fD'C jjc-p.-irtrnent as Is recommended
uy the Commissioners u not to be rvsnnlccl
as a'gnJiuffy, buf as-an equitable conces
sion to tlie "work they are called upon to do
ami the risk they Incur iu doing it. In
comparlidlivltii Hie salaries prevailing In
fblBl'r"Tll-lartments of the District Oov-
vrnincnt those of the fire department are
very meager, mid are considerably less
thaii those pa'M In the majority of the
large" cltli-s of 4hu country. Inasmuch as
there Is no olficlal pension fund from
which to provide for n fireman who may
be crippled "while dolus his duty, or for
bis family in case death should overtake
him, tiiere is all the more reason for mak
ing his salary large enough to enable him
tolayup something against such a contin
gency, or for his declining years in ease he
should grow old and worn in the service.
As for the additional apparatus, engine
houses and such equipment as Is incidental
thereto, enough lias been said heretofore.
The rapid growth of the city is the best
argument In favor of the increase that can
be advanced.
II. .t O. DEATH THAI'S.
The .accident, at the It street cross
ing of the Ualliniore and Ohio Kpllrojd
yesterday puts in a glaring Ilfilit the un
speakable disregard of the Hiltlrnore and
Ohio Comiiany for the security of human
life. At that crossing is neither flagman nor
gate, and the approaili of trains that
scurry past there is not even made known
by the wli&tle of the engine. That thero
was no loss ot life Is entirely due to the
'"l--c"ii mm preseiin: m mom u.
'"!-- ""M-t i,itoujBuh, iw - n.aoi
to throw his velikle around Just in time
to be saved' from the Impart ot the rush
ing tralu, though the poor animal was
badly mangled. It is reported that the only
remark made by General Agent Alvey,
'whCinhe owner ot the horse and wagon
reiKirted the matter to him, was: "Send
in "jour bill."
It is one of the characteristics of cor
porations like the Baltimore and Ohio road
to believe, or affect to believe, that they
have done their duty when they offer
to pay for damage done to property. Life
they hold IwtcUeaply, unless impressed by a
heavy toilt for dam jgesanda corresponding
ly heavy verdict. Tiiere Is but one way
to change them. The law must be as
stern as they are obstinate. Whether by
executive authority or by legislation, they
must Tie made to understand that they ace.
the servants of the public, not its master,
and the lesson should be rigidly enforced
upon them.
ThWaffalr "shows tho need of some-
lhin.uiorr than the IssJlng of orders on
the part ot the Commissioners. They must
be enforced as well. If, for Instance, In
the It street crossing case, it can be proved
that the train approached without whist-
ing, and that this Is the custom, there
should not be so much as a day's delay
in bringing the officials of the road into
the police court. The place Is cspcclally
dangerous, as freight cars continually line
the tracks there to such an extent and
in such a manner as to obstruct tho
,'iew of appruachiug trains to those alwut
to cross thCstreet in chicles.
Tho fatality which jesterday was hap
pily averted, may occur any day If the
Baltimore and Ohio Company is not com
pelled in oite way or another to provide
the necessarj' safeguards to protect drivers
of vehicles and pedestrians as well.
DISEASE IX THE -M1I.K.
At Watertown, X. 1"., it has just been
'disclosed that a severe outbreak of typhoid
fever, affecting an entire section of the
city,' was caused by the Ignorance r crim
inal carelessness of a dairyman, in whose
family thediscasecxistixl.and who washed
his cans on his place and in a cistern sup
posed to--have become contaminated. In
consequence of one man's stupidity or
negligence a number of families have had
let rhoifriT tUe death of dear ones, while
others had to pass through the anxiety
or nursing theirs from illness back to health
It is almost impossible for any system
or sanitary Inspection to guard against
cases of this kind. To some extent the
community has to trust to the honesty, the
"intelligence and the care of those who
supply it with this article ol food. Because
this Is so there ought to be the severest
punishment for any dealer who by willful
carelessness or indifference to the well
being f his customers spreads disease
among them,in the way It was done at
Watertown. There is absolutely no ex
cuse for such a one, and a prosecution for
manslaughter would not be out of the way
In his case.
President Cleveland sending his re
gards to his Albany friemls through Sena
tor Hill proves that the works ot the
cuckoo clock at the White House arc In
good condition.

Enjoyable Occasion for Its AleiulicrM
at Calsarv Clmrcb.
The annual social and reunion of the
Moody choir tins Lei! last night at
Calvary liantlst Church, corner of Eighth

Almost every member of (his now fa

opportunity to be present, and the scene
recalled the great Moody meetings at Con
vention Hall, at which this choir was a
notable feature, and contributed much to
their success. A deliclitrul musical enter
tainment was arranged by Mr. Percy S.

Iaat - oiBbl'n meetlne. which consisted of a
baritone solo by Dr. Frank II. vlm-in
Uic'.'Creolo-Ijove Song," charmingly ren
dered uy miss ii rtrude Dunn, and several
vionii who oy suss i.na ivmght, accom
panied by Miss Dora Knight.
Miss Anita Ciaus. the harpist, also con
tributed much to tlie evening's entertain
ment, and was forced to rcspoud to a
double encore.
A collation was served at the Conclusion
or the musical programme. Altogether
the rcunlon,wa-n, most enjoyable affair,
l'here will lie a rehearsal on next Tuesday
evening of the roll choir preparatory to a
concert to be given in December for a
well-known local charity.

Here's a True Story
About Shoes. :
Our Mr. W. H. StoII has just returned from Boston, vliere,he secured almost
at his own price the entire stock of Winter Shoes, Slippers, etc., that had-been made
up for the Warren Shoe House, and which being marked with the name of this house
(now out of business) were practically unmarketable. The opportunity was a grand
one a remarkable one and Mr. Stoll, with read- cash, purchased the entire lot. Of
course the manufacturers lost money, but they uere not sorry, for shoes "made up for a
special trade are hard to dispose of elsewhere.
150 Cases Arrived To-day,
out all cannot be opened up in time for to-morrow's trade. Therefore we have selected
two special lots. First, a lot of fine-grade ladies' Black and Russia Shoes' made to
sell at $4.50 and also a lot of Men's very high quality Patent Leather Shoes made to
sell at $5.00.
HERE THEY ARE:
