1.-THE Strollers.

The fete of the fans, in the last
act of ''The Strollers," is a very
pretty and up-to-date adaptation
of an old japanese custom. In
medieval times, before the aboli-
ton of the Samuri class Of the
two-sworded mobiles, the Shotgun
was the ruler of Japan. The Mix
ado only as lately as 1867 having
been reinstated in power Prev
ious to that time, when one OF
the wives of the Shotgun gave
birth to a baby, the event was
marked by a monstrous procession
of all the higher classes. Samurl
and the Damios or princess Of the
realm, fully accoutered in armor
and comprisoned for war. This
was known as the fete of the
sword. In case the child was a
girl the Samuri and ~Damios pa
raded the palace grounds in the
most magnificent court dresses OF
silks and satins, carrying fans OF
the most delicate textures. This
was known as the fete Of the fans.

The Star is informed that
agents for a big banking and
trust company of Parkersburg are
soliciting subscriptions to their
stock from Tyler county citizens
by stating that the stockholders
will escape taxation because this
institution is located in Wood
county. 1t certainly does not oc-
cur to these subscribers that they
cannot escape taxation any more
in Wood county than they can in
Tyler, and that in addition the
city tax of Parkersburg, So on

ever, if this, to escape taxation,
is their only reason for investing,

DEPosIToRs IN LINE
In Recently Started Run on South
birmingham Savings Bank.

South birmingham, Mass, June Is.
When the doors Of the Farmers and
Mechanics Savings Bank here were
opened for business, at 8 o'clock.
Wednesday,, from 50 to 60 depositors
were in line waiting to withdraw their
funds From Monday when the run
was begun until. Wednesday forenoon,
about $4,000 has been handed over the
counters.
Police officers were stationed about
the entrance to keep the crowd i'm or
der and to prevent late corners from
breaking into the line and replacing
those who had arrived before them.
The news of the run Of the previous
two days had apparently spread to
Saxonville, Hopkinton and other near
by places. The trolley cars brought
quite a number of depositors and those
from out of town at the banks doors
appeared to be in the majority. Most
of the birmingham people who have
withdrawn their accounts are employees
of factories. A number Of them had
their funds tied up two or three years
ago by the failure of the birmingham
Savings Bank and We're therefore I'M
usually sensitive when reports regard
ing the condition of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank were put in croula-
ton.
The bank officials are paying out
funds with all interest due as fast as
books are presented. They said they
did not desire to put out the regula-
ton provided by law requiring notice
from depositors before money can be
paid.
Since the run was begun, about 200
depositors have taken out their ac-
counts. The bank officers kept the
doors open until 5 o'clock. Tuesday af-
ternoon, and arranged to extend the
business hours again, Wednesday. if
it should be considered necessary Dur
ing the evening preparations We're
made to meet n continuation of the
run and a large amount of cash was
on hand. The officers say the institu-
ton is in good condition and can meet
the abnormal demand now being made
upon it.
The run continued all the forenoon and
this afternoon but the number of de-
positors at the bank grew smaller. Some
of those who presented their books had a
talk with the officials and in consequence
they went away without drawing their
money. About 20 persons were in line at
100

CAPTIVES' RELEASE.
Hitch in Negotiations Relating to Per-
dicars and Marley.

Washington, June ia serious
hitch has occurred in the negotiations
for the release of Perdicaris and Var
ley, the American and Englishman cap
tured in Tangier by the bandit, Raisuli.
The details as communicated to the
state department by Consul Gen. Gum
mere, indicate that Raisuli has vastly
enlarged his original demands.
He now insists upon absolute control
of no less than four Moorish provinces
and besides demands that no less than
three nations, including the United
States. guarantee the absolute per-
Torrance of the Sultan's promises.
The demands are regarded as abso-
lutely impossible of compliance here,
Notwithstanding what effect the re-
fusal may-have on the fate of the

POSTMASTER GENERAL ILL.
May Not Be Able to Preside Over Ma
tional Convention.

Chicago, June 15.-Postmaster Gen.
Henry c. Payne, chairman Of the ma
tiOnal Republican committee, collapsed
at the Auditorium Annex, today. Mr.
Payne has not been in good health for
some time. He recently took an ocean
trip for the purpose of regeneration
He was in his room when the attack
came, just before the hour set for the
meeting of the Republican National
Committee, over which he was to pre-
side. The ailment was said to be of a
neurasthenic character.
1t was said that Chairman Payne's
illness was such as to preclude the pos
sibility of his taking an active part in
at least the preliminary work of the
convention. News Of his prostration
was Immediately telegraphed to Wash
ingtOn.
1t was stated that Senator N. B.
Scott of West Virginia would probably
succeed as executive head of the COM
mittee, this afternoon.
Harry New, member of the Republic
can national committee, made the fol-
lowing statement, this afternoon, re-
garding Mr.. Payne's conditions:
THE report that Mr.. Payne has suf-
fered a sudden collapse is not true.
Everybody knows that for several
months he has been in poor health. The
excitement and late hours necessary
to attendance on the preliminary con-
vention work has exhausted him to
some extent. Mr.. Payne will be all
right with a little rest and sleep. Re-
ports to the effect that his health is
in precarious condition are, to say
the least, exaggerated"

Good Advice That Was Overlooked.


Good advice. like experience. has to
be rubbed in" sometimes for we don't
pay attention to it until two or three
friends tell us the same thing.
A Tampa woman who believed that
coffee was hurting her and her husband
wouldn't be convinced until nature had
forced the truth home. Then they quit,
as she says:
MY love for coffee was so strong, to
give it up seemed impossible until my
nerves We're completely shattered when
we finally found the condition of both
of us so serious we decided something
must be done.
Our minister's wife had recommend
ed Postum to us few years before rs
the finest food drink made and advised
us to try it if coffee was hurting us,
but we wouldn't believe coffee was do
ing it, so we didn't try the Postum.
Indeed we forgot all about the good
lady's advice and when we finally
broke down under coffee we shifted to
tea but soon found we were just as bad
off as ever. Then we used simple ket-
tie tea or hot water until about eight
months ago we were strongly urged to
get some Postum which we did and,
my, wasn't it a surprise.
What delicious drink that first cup
of Postum was, so satisfying and such
n wonderful relief for we need a hot
drink at meal times provided it is
healthful and not a stimulant. 1t was
perfectly delightful. with no bad effects

Edward Flanagan, mate of the
wrecked Slocum, told the police it was
impossible to calm the excursionists
after the first appearance Of the
flames. He said: 1T was unfortunate
that there were not more men aboard
and that all of the excursionists did
not understand English. Many of the
poor people were so panic stricken that
they actually ran into the flames and
were consumed"
Many pathetic scenes were Witness
ed at the various hospitals where the
relatives sought their loved ones.
