AT LOCAL THEATERS.
At New Haven Thcater.

Ramsay Norris stage story of the Indiana prairies. under the title of the Ninety and Nine" will be the of fering at the New Haven theater for three nights and Wednesday matinee commencing on Monday night August 26, as the opening attraction.
 The selection of a leading w6man for the part of Ruth Blake was one of the difficulties that confronted the management in the endeavor to offer a company that would assure the proper handling of the play. The part is one of the strongest ever created in Ia meIodrama and requires a woman of splendid histrionic ability to interpret it. While the field was large one ito choose from. the selection of Miss Eileen OMally assures the friends of the piece a splendid performance when they come.
 Miss O'Mally's experience as a stock star has ably fitted her for the trying Irole Of the heroine of MT Morris master effort and the event of the pro- duction bids fair to make an epoch in the seasons history at the local play house. Miss O'Mally has an excellent company in support of her, in fact a major portion of the original cast that appeared during the run of the piece at the Academy of Music in the city
 of New York will be seen here.

whose article in the North American Review has been alluded to, did not kEow It is fully expected that when the President returns to Washington early in October he will begin to con- suit with members of congress and ask them to weigh carefully the chances of defeat for the party in case it should once more go before the peo- pie at a national election with a mere promise of revision.
 To be explicit, the speech made by Secretary Taft is not taken here as at all inclusive of a set policy on the part of the President to wait for revision until 1910 or even a special session of the Slxty-frst Congress in the sum- mer of 1909. The President is an op- portunist. He will probably not recom- mend revision in his next message or in a special message, unless he sees a fair chance of carrying 1t, or unless he Is convinced that a greater injury will come to his party through policy of 'scuttle' than through a policy of ad- van 2e.
 It therefore rests first with MT. Roosevelt whether anything will be recommended. He will be strongly ad- vi3ed to recommend the creation of a taliff commission because. it is argued that that would remove the actual preparation of schedules from the arena of political debate, even if it did In1. remove the tariff question entirely | from politics.

A Rapidly Growing Industry.

Less than six months ago the Fold ing Mattress Co. invented and placed on the market an entirely new idea in Ethe art of mattress building, known as Cotton's "Kno-tuf" felt mattress. A bed that can not possibly spread. Has mo tufts or buttons and can be shook up and made new every morning but simply beating up each pocket separ- ately.
 This mattress is on sale in over one hundred leading furniture and depart ment stores and judging from the du- plicate orders that the above company are daily receiving it is meeting with marked success.
 There is a great saving of expense of the cost of manufacturing this par ticular bed as compared to the ordin- | ary tufted mattress which makes it's manufacture a good paying proposi- | tion.
 The Folding Mattress Go. is compos- ed entirely of New Haven men and New Haven capital The officers are Frank w. Cotton, president, a thorough and efficient salesman, who has charge of the selling and advertising James H. Cotton, secretary and treasurer, a practical mattress builder, thoroughly conversant with all of the branches of the mattress business, who has charge of the factory, does the buying and superintends the shipping. George F. Nash, vce-president, has charge of the local business and looks after the local contracts. All of these gentlemen devote their entire time to the interest of the Folding Mattress Co. This to- gether with the fact that they have the best selling mattress which Is, or soon will be, covered by lettersl patent, in- sures a prosperous future, and should Ibe a sufficient guarantee that stock holders will receive handsome divi- dends
 Frank W, Cotton the hustling presi- dent, is very enthusiastic over the com pany's outlook and is firm in his belief that dividends of from 10 to 20 per cent will be declared in less than two years as the concern is even now on a pay. ing basis.

Cowboy and Snuaw.

P. H. Sullivan announces the initial performance in this city of his latest comedy drama The Cowboy and the ISquaw'' to take place at the New Ha-
 ven theater beginning Thursday night, August 29, for three nights and a Sat urday matinee. This piece is said to depict life in the far west with so much realism as to almost carry one away into the land of the cowboys. It tells of the true love of Bronco Bob for an eastern maid. and the many trials he is forced to endure in order
 to keep out of the clutches of a rival cowboy. The great climax of the third act is declared to be so daring and Ihair-raising as to carry the audience
 off it's feet in excitement. It is a race
 between a wild steer, to which Bronco
 Bob has been roped by his opponent, and wild bronco which is ridden by Ia faithful squaw, and who finally suc- |ceedg in cutting the ropes and thereby
 releasing the victim. This scene is
 worked in full view of the audience and is said to produce the greatest
 effect ever attempted on the melodra-
 matte stage.

be confirmed as Col. Durbin is not

was said today that if Goodwine wins
the nomination the Durbin boom for

many of his strongest lieutenants have
been urging him to run for senator
since having learned definitely from
him that he will not run for governor.
Senator Hemenway is a candidate for

OF SCHOOL
ABANDONING RAISED
Courts at indianapolis Are
Called Upon.
INTEREST TO THE STATE,

Must a school wagon, official carrier
of children to and from schools in a
country district, go nearer than one
half mile to a patrons home in order
to take that patrons child to school?
This is the question Judge Lawson
Harvey, indianapolis, has been called
on to settle. The decision involves in
a way the legality of the act passed by
the last legislature. which provides
that all schools in which the attendance
on the opening day was less than
twelve should be abandoned and the
children sent to other school buildings.

ROOSEVELT APPROVES
THE RIDING ASTR|DE
Sees No Objection to This
Practice by Women.
SIDESADDLE WILL STICK.

Richmond young women who are
riding horseback astride may be in
terested in knowing that this plan
meets the approval of President
says: Although President Roosevelt
has rendered his Official Endorsement
to the fad of women riding astride.
the consensus of opinion among rid
ing masters of this city is that the
side saddle will continue to reign SUI
preme for many years to come. Wo-
mans inherent modesty, they declare
is one of the chief factors which will
prevent the side saddle from being
relegated to oblivion. The fact that
only slim women appear graceful
while riding astride is another potent
reason given by them for asserting
that the new fad will have few fol-
lowers.
The Endorsement of the President to
the mannish style of riding was given
during an exhibition at the Oyster Bay
academy, which is attended by all the
Roosevelt children. When the presi-
dent saw that every one of the girl
pupils of the academy were astride
their horses he clapped his hands and
cried: That's good; that's good,
The riding masters declare that the
news OF the Presidents approval has
reached the ears of virtually all their
patrons, but that as yet they have not
been appealed to by any of their side
saddle pupils for instructions in the
art of riding astride.
