Attention, Readers. Call and settle.

1t is not the custom of the STAR to
endeavor to make life burden for, all
it's delinquent subscribers by continu-
ally prodding and abusing them fornot
paying up. We believe an occasional
reminder is more effective. Some sub
scribers are in arrears from lack of
the necessary funds; few are indiffer-
ent or think they are not expected to
pay, but a large majority are in arrears
through forgetfulness or carelessness
and IL gentle hint is all that is neces-
sary We prefer to presume that near
ly all our delinquents are in the latter
class. hence this gentle hint. If you
are owing anything, come in and pay
up; if you are in doubt as to whether
you are in arrears we would be pleased
to enlighten you; if you are regular
subscriber but do not care enough for
the paper to pay for it longer, come in
and pay what yon owe and stop it. In
any event, come in and pay up. We
need the money. Please do not wait
for another reminder but come at
once.

The delightful afternoon tea given
by Mesdames w. w. Stewart, G. L.
Thorp and G. NJ. Cleveland at the
commodions and luxuriant home of
Mrs. Stewart on College Hill on Thurs
day afternoon of last week was social
function of more than ordinary mag
nitude and enjoyment. More than
fifty guests responded in person to
invitations and the afternoon was all
too quickly passed in social converse
enlivened by a sewing contest which
tested the ability of the participants
to sew quilting blocks both ar rtistically
and rapidly. Mrs. Goodrich, the ven
cradle mother of Mrs. w. w. Stewart,
was awarded the first prize for the best
sewing, which is quite remarkable con-
sidering the fact that Mrs. Goodrich ie
eighty-three years old. Mrs. Frank
Reeder won the firstprize for the most
rapid sewing and Mrs. W. H. Stanley
stood at the head of the SLOW w-sewine
class. After the sewing contest
refreshments of the most delicious sort
were served.

that it is discrediting the work OF no
one in saying that all these encourag

sjrable changes in the several build
ines. all these new students, and this
feeling of good will and encourage
ment that seem to permeate everything
is due very, largely to the new presi-

methods. DIR. Hancher is not only an
educator but he possesses in very
high degree the characteristics of az
up.to. date, progressive business mar
DIR. Hancher does not trust to Provi

doctrine that God will help those who

those who know little or nothing about
that wonderful cavern:
"The Wind Cave of Dakota has lately
been acquired by the government, and
is to be made show place. 1t we'll de-

over its mouth has had to be fastened
to the ground by neavy tilnbers, and

ward bs the immense force of the wind
from within.
''rhe first explorer of the cave discov-
cred that when the mouth was closed
by heavy timbers the motion of the
wind ceased, and a person inside did
not feel it except at a few particular
points, 1t was for this reason that the
cabin was built over the entrance, wit b.
an inner door fitting closely against
the portals of the caves itself in such
way that the air was completely
blocked.
"a sightseer, who afterward sent an
account of his experience to daily
paper, came to the door of the little
hut and heard roaring sound emanat-
ing from the earth, followed by such Il
slaming of door that the building
shook. 1t was nothing but the closing
OF the inner door to ALLOW the exit of /.
guide, but it made u terrible sound.
"Within the cabin the visitors saw
nothing but II cupboard, from which
the two guides provided them with
candles in the tin caldlesticks attached
to strips OF wood The party then
formed in line, as the inner door could
only be opened long enough to admit
one person at time. [ it were kept
open the wind would tear the building
to pieces.
"a guide went first. Siezing the bar
fastening the door, he turned it slowly
to near the end OF the clamp that held
it, then with Il quick wrench dartetl

sent it open. AS soon as he was inside
he sieZed an iron ring. and adding his
strength to that of the guide who had
remained without, slammed the door
With one man on the inside and one
out. it was much easier for the guides
to handle the door, and each member
of the party ran through in turn as the
door opened.
"The cave itself is a wonderful place
The guides have explored two thous
and six hundred rooms, covering a lin
cal distance of ninety miles, but they
say that the extent OF the cave is moi
yet known. Forty miles north OF tho
entrance is another and almost equally
beautiful cavern called Crystal Cave
The guides believe that some day i
will be found that one is u continual

"Some parts of the Wind Cave ar
three thousand feet below the surface
of the earth. All kinds of weird an.

lights within one or another of til

Even crowned heads have their little
troubles with their husbands lust as
plain Mrs. Smith sometimes has with
hers, some of the American heiresses
with theirs. However the Consort of
the Queen of Holland has not pawned
the family furniture, nor has he by
pothecated the Royal jewels or sold the
carriages, but he owes a lot of money
in Berlin which has gone over the
green cloth and in naughty little sup
pers after the opera, and in bijou villas
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Now
Queen Wilhelmina is real mad and
says she won't pay, let him pay out
of his allowance. If the Prince Con-
sort is not careful he will lose even
that. Oh, there is a pretty kettle of
fish at the Hague, and the Queen is
crying her pretty eyes out.

THE WANDERING THEsPIAN.

That the Thespian should wander
from place to place is as old as the
time of the minstrels and jongleurs who
wandered from castle to castle in Me-
dieval days. Then came the strolling
players of the Elizabethan times, and
the strollers Of the next century of
whom Moliere was one of the chief and
the stroller has finally come down to
our present time in the shape of the
travelling company of actors.
Travelling companies are the greatest
boon to isolated and small communities.
They bring to them dramatic art which
otherwise they would never see. They
help to broaden the little communities
they visit. They elevate at times, they
amuse at others. They present their

The Chinese situation continues thor
oughly unsatisfactory. 1t is no nearer
a solution than it was a month ago.
No one seems to know exactly where
the negotiations are. The amount of
indemnity is still undecided. The ma
jority of the powers has asked for
$500, 900, 900, which is an impossible sum
and practically means the cession of
Territory in lieu of payment. The
United States councils that the indem-
nifty should be cut down to $3.50, 900, OOO
and Sir Robert Hart, who is probably
the only man who understands Chinese
financies, shows how taxes sufficiently
ample to pay the interest upon this
sum, can be raised, Who will be lis
tened to, remains to be seen. AS to
the Russians in Manchuria, the news
is extremely contradictory. 20

literally as any other business advcr-
tises. indeed. as their stay is short they
have to advertise more largely than an
ordinary business. They get what they
can for their wares, so does every one
else. as the banker does when money
is tight and the rate of interest goes
up. or the merchant does when there
is corner in oil, or pork or wheat.
In a large city where there is large
population to draw audiences from, and
from which it is easy to move to find
fresh audiences it is easy to play to low
prices just as it is profitable to pub
lish a newspaper in the East and sell
it for one cent, when 1t is impossible
to do so in the Territory of Hawaii.
The Wandering Thespian who comes
down to these Islands takes extraor-
binary risks. He pays a high price for

Nobody forces any one to go to a
show. 1t is advertised, it proves un-
satisfactory, there is no need to go
again. Also there is no need to abuse
the poor Thespian because you don't
like his performance. He is doing his
best to earn an honest livelihood, and
to amuse you or thrill you as the case
may be. If you don't approve of his
show, stay away, others may like it.
There is a certain class of critics who
seem to think that the only way to
show their acumen is to roast a show
and draw comparisons with the first
class companies of the mainland. The
New York first class companies will
be many years before they come here.

DEATHBED OF WASHINGTON.

tons which sweeten domestic life and
support us in the infirmities of age.
From every part Of that America
he delivered the cry Of grief is heard.
1t belonged to France to echo back the
mournful sound. 1t ought to vibrate
on every generous heart. The shade Of
Washington on entering beneath this
lofty dome will find a Turenne, a
Catinat, Condo, all of whom have
fixed their habitation here. If these
illustrious warriors had not served in
the same cause during life, yet the
fame Of all will unite them in death.
Opinions, subject to the caprices of the
world and to time opinions. weak and
changeable. the Inheritance of humani-
ty-vanish on the tomb, but glory and
virtue live forever. When departed
from this stage, the great men Of ev-
cry age and of every place become in
some measure compatriots and contem-
poraries. They form but one family
In the memory Of the living, and their
examples are renewed in every sue
cessive age. Thus within these walls
the valor Of Washington attracts the
regard Of Condo; his modesty is APP
plauded by Turenne; his philosophy
draws him to the bosom of Catinat. A
people who admit the ancient dogma
Of a transmigration Of souls will often
confess that the soul Of Catinat dwells
In the bosom Of Washington.
"The voice of republicanism, which
resounds from every part Of these
walls, ought to please, above all, the
defenders of America. Can they not
love these soldiers who, after their
example, repealed the enemies Of their
country? We approach with pleasure
those veterans whose trophies add lus-
ter to these walls and some of whom
have gained laurels with Washington
in the wilds Of Carolina and Virginia.
"But there is something more due to
the memory of Washington. It is the
union of France and America. It Is
the happiness of each. It is peace be-
tween the two nations. It now seems
to me that Washington calls to all
France from the very summit Of this
dome::y 'Magnanimous people, you who
know SO well how to honor glory, I
have conquered for independence. The
happiness Of my country was the re-
ward Of that victory. Initiate not the
first half Of my life. It is the second
that recommends me to posterity.'
Yes, thy counsels shall be heard, o
Washington! o warrior! o legislator!
Q citizen without reproach! He who,
while yet young, rivals thee in battles
shall, like thee, with his triumphant
hands, heal the wounds Of his country.
Even now we have his disposition, hts
character. for the pledge, and his war
IKE genius shall soon lead sweet peace
into this temple Of war"
