Sons sent in SIS to the fund, and in
cluded with the check the hope that
the STAR would be very successful
this summer In its big philanthropic
work.
With a kindly note, wishing tho

F. w. Woo1worth g. Co. today sent in
a check for 80 as gift to the fund.
A round 500 was netted for the
STARS fund by the special perform
ances in tho Arcade Theatre yesterday
afternoon. Friends of the theatre and
the fund responded liberally. and a
thousand tickets were sold This
handsome sum guarantees another spe-
cial outing. making four which have
been insured by donations from indi-
vidual friends. So many ticket-holders
were unable to gain admission yester-
day that special performance was
held In the theatre at II p. m. The
tickets which were sold for the special
performance are good at any time.
Many Added Attractions.
Manager Leon o. Mumford had pre-
pared a notable bill for the benefit per-
formance and he was repeatedly con-
graduated on its excellence. Every act
that was promised was present. The
bill included Allen and Landers, min
strels; F. X. Thornburg, lightning
caricaturist: VIII s. Rising. A. B. Eek,
C. F. Edwards, William Baker. Dia-
mond and Smith, E.. ]. Lewis and COM
pany. Burns and Robbins. the Misses

and Edith jackson.
At their special benefit performance
for the STARS fund last year the
management Of the Arcade Theatre OBJ
tained $50. They have doubled that
sum this year. and raised the amount
Of the fund to the very respectable
figure of $1.SsBAs.
It is probable that the next benefit
for the fund will be the ball game be-
tween the teams representing the fire
department and the police department.
No date has yet been announced for
this contest. which is return game,
the first having been won by the fire
department last year. but as soon as
the personnel of the two teams has
been definitely determined a day for
the great diamond battle will be set.
star players Of the two city depart
ments are practising and there are
enough candidates for both teams to
insure meeting Of eighteen real ball
players prepared to fight every inch
Of the way to the last inning, and as
many extra innings as are necessitated
bv the closeness Of the score in the
ninth. a.
A continuance Of the extremely hot
wave which struck Newark two days
ago should send the fund soaring. em-
phasizing as it does the dire need for
ice and fresh air which must be felt
IN the tenements. With prostrations
Of adults reported every day the dire
plight of the babies Of the poor who
are sick may be easily imagined.
A child who has begun to fall has
little chance In an unshaded house,
where Ice Is luxury to be INDUCED In
only at rare intervals and at the ex-1
pense Of necessities. Physicians and
Health Board officials who watched the
course of the STARS experiment last
year. were unanimous in declaring that
the free ice which was sent to the
houses where 1t was needed most and
the all-day. outings to Coney Island
saved the lives of many little ones.
The STAR wishes to do more even
than 1t was able to do last year In
extending relief during the sultry days
where It Is needed most.
