TOmOrrOw's Big Star.
The big edition of The Star tomorrow
will be peculiarly rich in timely and reada-
Bile articles. Writers of local and ma
tional fame will be represented and the
literary menu spread before The Stars
readers will be a varied and seasonable
one.
There will be another installment of
''Simon Dale" story which in the mat
ter of sustained interest and wealth of
incident has proved an immense success
Beside this there will be a particularly
clever short story from the pen of Cut
life Hyne, a writer whose stories have ap-
peared in The Star before this, and all of
them have been above the average of con-
temporary fiction.
In the way of correspondence from other
lands, The Star is always up to date, and
tomorrow there will be two very important
contributions of this sort, one letter from
the Hawaiian Islands and the other a let
ter from Yokohama. In the latter the
writer, who is a man peculiarly well fitted
for the task, discusses the economic condi-
tons which prevail in Japan at the present
time, and draws q striking picture of the
remarkable growth of the empire during
the past quarter of century.
The Star will fnaugurate a new feature
tomorrow which ought to be very popular.

illustrations of the state houses of all the
CT ;,,
