IN THE TOLLS

The band of Syrian gypsies who
have been camping near the railroad
depot have been arrested at the in
stance of Chief of Detectives McDuf-
fie, who caught them dead to rights AZ
their fortune-telling on Saturday
night.
There have been many complaints
from more or less prominent people
who have visited the gypsies in hacks
and autos in the dark o'night for the
purpose of having their fortunes told,
that they have been short-changed by
the dark-skinned soothsayers.
One well-known Chinaman was told
to give one of the fortune tellers al!
the money he had about him to hold,
and he produced $32. When the cash
was handed back to him it was SIS
short. He raised a howl and final
was given back another S.
Three women, some children and
two men have been arrested and will
be charged with vagrancy, They
came here from the Coast and say
that the reason why they are linger-
ing on these shores is that they have
been unable to get away to Australia
on account of the steamers being
crowded
They claim that they were given
permission to tell fortunes here both
by High Sheriff Henry and A. L. c
Atkinson, the latter of whom is said
to have consulted them with regard
to the political future.

NEW REGULATION
ABOUT CIGARS

Collector Cottrill, of the Internal
the news that, down in Florida, the
employees of cigar factories have now
to pay duty on the Smokes" they
consume, It used to be the practise
to allow employees so many cigars a
day, to smoke at work or to take home
with them. These cigars were not
placed in boxes with the revenue
stamp put on. Now all is changed,
and the workers have to pay So a
thousand revenue duty on the cigars
they smoke.
The new rule is the result of an
abuse that crept in during the last
few years. The employees are said to
have taken cigars from the factory,
as was their privilege, but the smokes
were then exchanged for food and
other things at outside stores.
AS there is not a cigar factory in
Hawaii, the new order does not affect
these Islands. Il suppose remarked
Collector Cottrill this morning, that
this district is the only one in the
United States where cigars are not
made. We smoke plenty, but they are
all made elsewhere"
The new order of the revenue de-
partment has caused strikes to take
place in Florida and the employees
are much worked up over the law.
The new law is to be retrospective,
and the factories will have to pay
revenue duty on all the cigars that
have been smoked or taken away by
the employees for the past two years.
Years ago, before annexation, there
were small cigar factories OF Grated

ers, using just the same methods by
which the first soes were attached at
the Regal factories. The old, worm
out sole and heel are removed. A new
sole of genuine OAK-5ARK TANNED
leather Is seWed on. Bear in mind
that this sole is complete-it extends
from toe TO heel, and it is SEWED
on, not nailed. A new heel, built Of
whole lifts of this same unequalled

they are in the Regal factories.
When you get your shoes back they
are just as comfortable and practical

you first bought them. And it does
not cost a lot, elther-no more than
any first-class cobbler would charge.

WILL SELL UNION
STREET PROPERTY

At the meeting of the land board
hat was held Friday afternoon, it
was decided in quick order that the
piece of land on the corner of Hotel
and Union streets be put up to public
auction. The upset price of the land
will be set at SIS Der square foot, and
the purchaser will have to waive dam
ages as regards the closing of Union
street.
The meeting only lasted a few min
utes, being merely a formal affair.
The work of acquiring the piece of
land needed for the widening of Hotel
street Yas also touched upon. An
appraisement is to be made of this,
after which further action will be
taken.
The condemnation proceedings for
obtaining the land for the Bishop
street extension, from Hotel street
will begin as soon as the Attorney
General can get the papers filed.

The "RegaI Way" of re-
pairing Shoes

OF course you have your shoes re.
paired-you know you usually can get
a good deal of additional service from
them after the first sole is WORN
OUT.
But how do you have it done? BY
the ordinary cobblers' method?
If you do, your experience has I'M
doubtedIy shown you how unsatisfac-
tory this method is. You most likely
get inferior materials and clumsy
workmanship. Besides this, the usual
method of "tapping"-that is, piecing
the sole midway in the shank-giVes
the shoe a decidedly unslghtIy look.
Then, again, the nails sometimes
used by the cobbIer cause no little
discomfort to the foot. They are driven
clear through to the inside of the shoe
and are clinched on the inner sole.
So, when the cobbIer hands you
your shoes, they look like the photo
below, don't they?

EXECUTION HELLO
UP FOR A POEM

The Times-Dispatch of Richmond
Va, is responsible for the following
which, whether true or not, is worth
repeating: "A story which is char
acteristic of the Japanese comes
from the land of cherry blossoms CON
corning the assassin of Prince Ito.
He was a Korean. He bore himself
with bravery, it is said, during the
trial, and heard his sentence of death
without emotion. The day of his exc
cution was set and was almost at
hand, when the authorities learned
that the prisoner was engaged in
writing a poem. He was then asked
when it could be finished. He said it
would take six days, whereupon the
authorities postponed the execution
this length of time. When his liter
airy labors were over, the prisoner
was put to death. This is an inter
esting instance of the artistic tenn.
permanent of the Japanese as shown
by the authorities with reference to
an execution. In this country the
disposition would be to execute the
man prematurely if it were known
that he were writing a poem"

country on his policies, it must have
been refreshing to him to strike San
Francisco, though The entertainment
given him would tire an ordinary in
dividual to exhaustion. There are no
doubts or bubbles about San Fran
cisco's gratitude for what Taft has
done. Open house was kept for him,
the city in every possible way took
the President in as one of it's own,
made him feel at home, and after a
round of festivities sent him on his
way rejoicing.
He is in Los Angeles at this writing,
and the Southern city, glad, too, that
San Francisco has the exposition, but
not so enthusiastic, is looking more
to the purposes of the presidential
trip. The Southern part of the state
has welcomed him cordially, but Taft
did not receive the warmest of re-
ceptions when he swung into his poll
teal speeches scheduled for that time
and district. They listened to him,
heard some of the best parts Of his
speech in silence, then called for Gov
ernor Johnson. The portent of such
actions can not but be a source of
some concern to the political managers
who are ever holding a dampened fin
ger in the political wind.

The President hardly had a minutes
time to himself from the moment he
came over from Oakland until three
days later he waved goodbye from the
end of his train as he left for the run

BALLOTING NOW
IN The CONTEST

There will be SOME changes in the
Contes, candidates list when it is pub
lished next, with 5000 votes each re-
corded to the credit of each candidate
regularly nominated as contestant
for the big prizes. Some more names
have come in, and two of the 1870
placed in nomination have declined
the honor.
In the meantime, the contestants
are hustling. Those who are out for
the $3.50 in gold coin, and the other
big prizes, have realized that the early
work counts. 1t is best to get good
work in first, while the field is new,
for getting Star subscriptions is easier
now than it will be after a lot of
hustling has been done Anyone VINO
does not take The Star should be
easily convinced that it is well to
take it. 1t is publishing more news
and more special matter than any 9th

torials are attracting such attention
