ance Of the Big Mnstrels." who are
RAPIDLY gaining warm place in the eStlIna-

The company is large one, and includes
many excellent performers, and II there are
none OF them who are so we'll known or 50
popular as some Of our local players, there
are some that are no less good.
The singing in the frs part is ex-
cellent, as 4 rule, though it is in noWise
remarkable. but some OF the Guar
acter pieces are admirable. Mr. William
Carroll, in particular, gives song-and-
banjo performance which is peculiarly
good. and which gains encore after encore.
Scarcely less good Is tue work OF Me>srS.

much encouragement from those who be-
lieve in harmless and perfectly proper

exceedingly clever.

SUDDENLY SICK.
A Strange Disease Attacks the Tobacco
Girls.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star
New York, July 1.-THE Sun to-day
says that during the past week novel and
singular disease has manifested itself among
the girls employed in Lorllard's tobacco
factory, Jersey City. Wednesday last Mary
H0sey, aged nineteen, who was working in
the stemming department, complained of
terrible pain in her side.
She fell to the floor unconscious and was
carried to her home in an ambulance. She
was seized with violent convulsions, and
while these attacks lasted the combined
strength of four men was required to hold
her Thursday and Friday several other
cases of sickness, with similar symptoms,
occurred in the factory.
On Saturday no less than thirty-four
other girls were taken sick in the same de-
partment. All displayed the same svmp-
toms, namely, pain in the side, followed in
almost every case by Inconsistencies con-
vulsions, and finally hysteria and collie.
Physicians are now making the disease a
special study.
a rumor was circulated to the effect that
the girls who we're taken sick had been
working on some tobacco that had been
stored in New Orleans during the preva-
lence of yellow fever last summer, and that
the sickness was occasiOned by the liberia
ton of the germs of that disease, which
had imprcgnated the tobacco. The report
created the widest excitement in the fami-
lies of those who had been afflicted.
