M0URNS ITS FIRST WOMAN
 MAYOR.

Mrs. Mary D. Lawman, the first woman to be elected mayor of an American town, has just died in Os- kalucsa, Kan, the town that elected her says the New York Times. She wss burned to death, der dress having taken fire from the cook stove while engaged in preparing the evening meal for her family.
 The accident lends itself to vary ng comment, according to the commen- fatOr's point of view. An advocate fer woman suffrage. for instance, might say that it tended to refute the charge that participation in public atfairs by women was incompatible with doinest'city and involved neglect IT the home. Those opposed to the etltrance of women into politics might held, on the other hand, tha afrs Lawman's fate--one that cer- tainay would never befall a mascu- line mayor-was an argument for not lbkting woman hold office.
 The subject however, does not lend itself to humorous treatment, for the Kansas papers agree in stating that n0t only Mrs. Lawman, all through ller long life, faithful and accom- r}ished housewife and mother, but that her admin'stration-she served tWo terms. beginning in 1SSS-wer Se marked for efficiency as for hon, SetV and that the efftrts of the clean-

His Own Bills.

Butchers are not generally credited with an especially sensitive tempera- ment, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be ex- traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion. Above the cashiers window he has hung this sign:
 If prices are high don't blame me. They have hit me, too. Here is the meat bill of my own family. Read it." Then follows an itemized ac- count of the chops, steaks, roasts and cats meat consumed by the butchers dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently a!titudinous to appease the most disgruntled GUS. toners, and they settle their own bills with good grace.

Family Starving
Would End Life
PitifuI Sight Greets Cops Who
Hurry to Scene.

A case of extreme poverty was UNI
earthed today when Sergeant Thomas
w. Purcell, of the Second precinct po-
lice, gave out facts concerning the at
tempt at suicide of Joseph Gword-
rioswski, &C years old, of IA Aqueduct
street. Two children, almost famished,
were found in the w rooms occupied
by the man and his invalid wife, who
only yesterday was refused admission
to the City Hospital on account of its
crowded condition. The children, Jo-
~sephine, 10 years old. and Patrick, 6
years old, were weak from lack Of
food, and presented a most pitiful sight
in their seant attire.
Gwordrioswski, on account of his age,
was unable to obtain steady employ
ment. Yesterday he met a friend, who
invited him to have several drinks.
These had a peculiar effect on him,
and, on reaching home, he declared he
would n his life by hanging. The
word of his attempt was quickly dis
patched to the Second precinct and
Patrolmen Kinney, Wilson and Dona-
hue were sent to the scene. Here the
sight that met their ayes was APPALLING.
The feeble woman lay across what
would be called a few boards, but to
her it was a bed. The children were
on the floor, weeping for something to
eat, and the father in a corner lament
ing over his inability to obtain employ
ment and preparing a rope with which
TO commit suicide.
The patrolmen took the children to
the statlon-lhouse where they were fed
and put in the witness-room until
Overseer of the Pool Baldwin could
make some provision for them. An
appeal to the hospital by the police re-
suited in the woman being admitted to
the institution. 1t is probable hat the
father will be sent to the almshouse,
for it is feared hat the woman is SO
feeble that she will never be able TO
leave the hospital.

All That Is Necessary: Be Single
Woman, Ask for Passes,
Get Escort.

Leap-year but once every four
years. Sometimes it skips a presiden-
tial term and does not appear for eight
years. But whether it arrives once in
four or once in eight years, it never
before had as pleasant a surprise in
store for the unmarried women of
Newark as it has now.
Since this day is the leap in the
year. it is fitting to announce that the
STAR has arranged for a theatre
party in the Shubert Theatre next
Monday night for members of the
Woman's Club.
The unmarried ladies, God bless
them.
The play on the boards for next
week is THE Million and in the
vernacular of the day 1t is some
show
Gentle ladies, think of it. You can
go to the theatre, tate your escort;
take him, understand, and who
knows, perhaps during the play you
or he may become enthusiast enough
to pop the question"
Here is the plan in a nutshell; Fri
day night, in the Woman's Clubhouse,
A Court street, Mrs. M. r. Quigley will
give out 100 STAR orders that are good
for 200 seats for Monday night in the
Shubert Theatre.
Only unmarried ladies, God bless
them, as we said before, are eligible
to attend this party, and are permitted
to ask any young man of their ae-
qu~aintance to go with them. The
STAR not only gives the order, which
can be exchanged at the % Office.
but also extends its best wishes and
says Good luck" .
The best part of the whole thing is
that there is no string attached TO the
affair. You do not have to buy a paper,
although we know you do, and read it
carefully; you do not have to draw a
cartoon, and do not have to write a
play. You get the order from Mrs.
Q~uigley-just like that. No trouble at
all and nc puzzle to be solved.
Mrs. Quigley is the director OF the
club, and she'll tell you that the order
you get from her tomorrow night can
be exchanged at the box office of the
anc Monday night.
And remember, it is a leap year
party. and it is given by the STAR,
and that you have the best wishes of
the "host.'
roc bad leap year does not come
around more often. II really ought to
be censured for being such a stranger.
Think of it.. Here are 100 very charm
ing ladies who have at least 100 gallant
and chivalrous young men in their
minds whom they would like to ask to
the theatre, but because leap years
m but once in four or eight years
they don't get the chance TO invite
them as often as they would like.
Remember it is the Shubert, the play
is 'The Million"

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take it's place. is an old saying.
which is, to a great extent, true, IL no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appe + it is a sign
that Nature needs assistance. 1t is
Natures call for help. Gray hair,
dull, lifeless hair, or hc.r that is fall
ing out, is not necessarily a Sign of
advancing age. for there are thou
sands IF elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without single streak
of gray
When gray hairs come or when the
hair seems to be ~lifeless o. dead, some
good, reliable hair-restori,g treatment
should be resorted to at once. Spe-
~cialists say that one of the best prep
arations to use is the lid-fashioned
sage tea which our grandparents
used. The best preparation of this
kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, a preparation of domestic
sage and sulphur, scientifically COM
pounded with later iscovered hair
tonics and stimulants, the whole mix
ture being carefully balanced and
tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harmless.
1t refreshes dry. parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or graz hair to it's natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days" treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at hfty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sole by all drug
gists. Special agent. Charles W.. Menk.

Argued
in Egan's Case
Former Collector OF Hudson
Fights Conviction.
Iron a staff Correspondent.

TRENTON, Feb. 29,-The Supreme
Court today heard argument on the
appeal of Collector stephen M. Egan,
of Hudson county, from his conviction
on the charge of embe2zlement. Egan
was indicted and convicted on the CON
tention that he had loaned $4,000 OF
the county funds to the late Robert
Davis, Democratic leader Of Hudson
county.
The appeal was argued for Egan by
former Governor John Franklin Fort.
Mr.. Fort said that the time of eimbes-
element was not proven, and if any
offense had been committed it was that
of an unlawful loan. He attacked the
disqualification of Sheriff Kelly, which
led to the selection of an elisor grand
jury, which found the Indictment
against Egan.
