messed by Crowded House.

The second night Of vaudeville at the
Star theater proved even better than
the first. Every seat in the house was
filed long before the show opened, and
many people stood up during the eve
ming, never seeming to tire in witness
ing the greatest vaudeville show ever
presented in Astoria. 1t was entertain
ing, instructive and decidedly amusing
and those who attended haven't got
through laughing yet, especially at the
moving pictures depicting Touring the
World on a Wave Of Laughter" The
most ludricious scenes are presented,
keeping the audience convulsed with
laughter. The parlor acrobats, the
"Girdlers,' gave the finest exhibition of
acrobats ever witnessed in the city and
were roundly -encored. "The Hold Up"
set the audience to laughing, continuing
through the entire presentment and it
certainly made great hit. Lyons and
Cullom, singing dancing and whistling
artists, delighted the audience with their
versatility and were frequently ap-
plauded. Margaret Bell won many enco-
miums of praise for her excellent rendi-
tion of "Since Nellie Went Away" one
of the most popular songs of the day,
and was well rendered. The entertain
ment throughout was the finest ever pro-
dticed in Astoria, and must be seen to
be appreciated. You will never forget
the night you spent at the Star, If you

will be presented again tonight

WILL BREAK STRIKE
IN FRISCO
JAMES FARLEY, STRIKE BREAKER,
SHIPS EIGHT HUNDRED MEN
FROM NEW YORK TO SAN FRAN
CISCO TO CRUSH STRIKE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-James Farley,
the strike breaker, has, says morn
ing paper, contracted to break the street
railway strike in San Francisco.
Two special trains loaded with strike
breakers, left Jersey City at lO:4O
o'clock last night on the Lehigh Valley
road for San Francisco. 1t was esti-
mated that there were 500 men on the
two trains. which had ten cars each.
On each car were four of Farley's de-
tectives armed with clubs like the night
sticks carried by policemen.
Every preparation had been made to
feed the men on the trip and to pre-
vent any unnecessary delay in getting
to the coast. Great quantities of cooked
food were put on the trains. A beer
supply consisting of 5000 bottles was
on hand to staye off thirst. There were
800 tin cups for them to drink from.
Precautions were taken to keep the thinW
as quiet as possible. The men were
brought over to Jersey City in a special
ferryboat from 23rd street. Many of
the men went without a change Of
clothing and there were indications that
there was great hurry in getting the
men of.
Some of the men, it was said, had
not notified their families that they were
off on long trip.
Arrangements have been made by
Farley, it is understood, to start another
batch for San Francisco early this morn
ing.
