Disappearing Clover Leaf Newspapers
Mail order Journal for July.

In quick succession newspapers belong
ing to the so-called Clover-Leaf combine
are disappearing. First anne the collapse
Of the Kansas city News, for which the
Butler X ell ogg-Ashbough outfit once had
claimed a circulation Of $1,000, and for
which advertising was secured on the
basis Of such a circulation, which the
paper never had. 1t is doubtful whether It
ever had a bona fide circulation Of N,0Oo.
Then came the disappearance OF the st.
Joseph Star and then that Of the Du-
luth star. II we remember we'll a few
other papers of this syndicate started
to fiji a never-felt want, for new pa
pers in different cities have quickly gone
out Of existence.
The experience which the advertising
public has had with the Clover-Leaf pa
pers that have passed away ought to
teach them the lesson to keep their eyes
on the Glover Leaflets that still exist and
for all of which also quite enormous and
almost incredible circulation claims are
Omaha daily bee., 1909-07-07

made, almost as big claims az we're once
made for the Kansas city News. The ex-
tensive patronage of the papers Of the
combine, which have passed away, was not
deserved. The money spent by business
men In those papers OF mushroom growth
vas simply thrown away. Is that spent
I'm the Clover-Lesf papers that are still in
existence we'll spent? Are these circulstions
what they are claimed to be, or Of a kind
secured by voting and guessing contests,
such as who is the most popular police
man" or the most popular %bootblack"
which contests necessitates the buying Of
copies by the voters" which copies, there
fore, are OF no earthly value to adver-
tisers? II may be time for advertisers to
look a little more carefully into the busl-
ness Of newspapers Of this kind, especially
now. when business men in a number OF
cities nave found out TO their sorrow that
back of the big circulation claims and
other alleged virtues OF the Glover Leaf
let's was only hot air or humbug.

MISS DUNC1N'S ART.
Dancer GiUes Fine Mtcrprcta-
tiOn at METROPOLITAN.

That there is more than an ephemersI
interest among New Workers in the inter
pretative dancing Of Miss Isadora Duncan
was attested last night by the size Of the
audience that gathered in the Metropolitan
Opera House. Though the audience was
perhaps not as large as some she danced
before last season. it was of good size,
filling the entire orchestra and a good
portion OF the galleries. and one that
showed by continued applause its apprecia-
tion of Miss Duncsn's peculiar art.
The music. which was by the New York
Symphony Orchestra. under the leadership
of Walter DamrOsch. was Gluck's 'Iphe-
genia in Aulis." a programme I'm which
she was also seen last year. and one that
is peculiarly suited to the dancers powers.
Miss Duncan's style of dancing is now
well known. Her grace Of movement. her
fine sense Of rhythm. her poses. exquisite,
vet always speaking: her flowing. diapha-
nous draperies-they were there as ever,
and in addition carried along by music
that was i'm perfect keeping with the
dancers essential classicism.
Those portions of the programme in
which a simple emotion was 10 be ex-
pressed. such as the Dance Of JOY" Miss
Duncan appeared at her best Here her
movements appeared TO flow spontaneously
from one another, borne along with the
food Of the music, oblivious to all except
10 the absolute necessity OF dancing, be-
cause in dancing was the only method
which could express her innate JOY OF llte
In these dances she was as figure from
the Parthenon frieze figure instinct with
life. symbolizing her JOY. simply. unthink-
ingIy vet always with full regard for the
classic sense Of prOpriety- II in her more
dramatic moments sne was less successful
these moments last night were few. In
Ter lyric dances Miss Duncan Is ever de-
nghtful.
Al the conclusion OF the "Iphegenia in
Aulis'' the audience forced Miss Duncan
io give "A number Of additional selections.
among them being the waltz from Il aust.
