To the Editor OF the Star:
The associate members of the Ben. jon
son Club and the public in general were not
q little surprised and dissatisfied with the
action taken by the Board of Directors in
regard to tie Clubs insolvency. Ac-
oording to the statement, made
by the Treasurer, and published in
the Newport Local. the club, through
some mismanagement, is very much in debt
and unable to fulfill its contract with the
associate members. There is no occasion to
doubt the truth of the aforesaid statement,
and it Ger ainly is not just to shift the
responsibility upon the associate members,
which will virtually be the case should the
Board appeal to the members for pecuniary
assistance. This, it is understood, is the
policy to be adopted by the Board and in
the event of a failure to respond it is the
declared intention to close the season with
out giving the two remaining entertain
ments, which is manifestly breach of faith
and in very bad taste. EQUITY.

his relatives in Moscow, O., returns home

to be married, we believe, some time in
June.
The entertainment 10 be given by the
Congregational Sunday to obtain
funds to replenish the stock of books in
their library, as mentioned in the STAR a
week or so since, will take place on Thurs
day evening of next week. The programme
will consist principally of music, vocal du-
cts, readings recitations, etc. The price of
admission, we believe, has been fixed at 25
cents.
