GAY new YORK
IS REAL GAY Up
TO MIDNIGHT
THEIR REFUSAL TO BURN THE
CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS CAUSES
THE CLOSING OF THE FoLIEs
BEReERE IN THE METROPOLIS.
Special to The Journal

New York, October 7-Because New
York would not stay UP until the
unilkrnan came around the Folies Ber-
Rere. which aimed to furnish US with
something of the same order or
amusement supplied by the institution
Of the same name in Paris, viii close
its doors tomorrow night.
Although the receipts in the hrst
few weeks Of its operation averaged
$4,000 a week and gave promise or
growing larger, the appeal Of the Folies
as a novelty was short lived and 1or
the last six or seven weeks has been
losing at the rate of $4,000 a week.
The reason for its failure to keep
MP the fast pace 1t set out for itself
IN the beginning of its spectacular
career, is said by the management
to be the refusal of the moneyed class
of amusement seekers to patronize
show that involved their burning the
candle at both ends. The Folies gave
two entertainments every evening
one from $3.50 to II and the other from
II to a. m. It was the idea and
expectation of its sponsors that enough
of those who had been spending the
early part of the evening at other
places of amusement would flock there
FOR the late show, to make It pay
handsomely. Eating and drinking at
ifbituu were allowed and while It was
IN the heyday of favor, the place
promised to measure up II not exceed
in Rayety the famous Partisan resort,
from which it got its inspiration. Al.
though the bar was big money
maker from the start, but two persons
II is said had to be elected from the
house in the whole time Il was erea'
One of these was callow youth, VINO
dfsliking the green tights worn by one
Of the chorus, fired bun on the stage
at her and the other an elderly man
who undertook to drink a toast to a
fat lady sitting a few pews in front
Of him. In the hope Of making the
establishment popular. more than
$125. 900 was expended in the last i've
months for productions, which pulled
for a time and then lost popular in
terest. fn announcing the determine
ton to close the Folies, one of the
managers, sumed up the situation
thus:
Gay New York is gay until mid
night, and then-good night -
Most of New York is in bed at IL
o'clock, all of it, so to speak at l.,
"By this" he explained, Il mean the
general amusement seking class. New
York of course has it's night life
its all-night life If you care to go that
far>-but experience has taught me
that the theatres. after their hour
or two, are out of it. The time will
come. no doubt, when a theatre that
does not close it's doors until o'clock
in the morning will find it worth while
to keen them open. haven't changed
my mind on that point. The only
conclusion / have reached is that the
Folies Bergere got here ahead of its
time. I've broken the ice. and some
one will come along at a later day
and benefit by it.

WILSON MAN
TO DEFEAT TAFT
WORLDS WORK POINTS OUT
THAT JOB IS TOO BIG FOR Or
BINARY POLITICIAN.

The following is from The Worlds
There will be sci votes in the next
electoral college, 4S more than in the
last, and 266 will be required to elect
the next president.
The twelve surely Democratic
Southern states-Alabama, Arkansas
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and
Virginia-will cast 1876 votes. Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri, though
sometimes they swerve from the Dem
ocratic line, win bring the total to
173. New Mexico and Arizona would
make ii 179. It remains for the DEM
ocratic candidate to find 80 more votes
In the north, If he is to succeed.
He may reasonably count on Colo
RADIO, Nebraska and Nevada for II
votes. II New Jersey, Indiana, Ohio,
West Virginia, Maine and Connecticut,
which all went Democratic at the last
election, repeat that performance, the
Democratic candidate will have one
without New York. Many other COM
binations are possible without New
York. With that state, which will now
have ~ electoral votes, 1t viii be
necessary for the Democratic candi-
date to carry only Ohio and Indiana,
or New jersey, INDIANA anu SSnnSC-
- sIcut. ar-he could do 1t with such a
combination, Of insurgent Republican
states as Wisconsin, the Dakotas,
Oregon and Washington.
If Mr.. Taft carries the states he
carried in 1908 his electoral vote
would be S53-S7 more than necessary
for his election. To fail of reelection
he must lose about 90 ELECTORAL votes,
and to gain the election the Demo-
cratic candidate must find about 80
votes IN addition to those he can rea-
sonably count on.
The moral Of all this is that there
is a pretty fight ahead.
President Taft is as certain Of re-
nomination as he can be certain of
anything in the changes and chances
of this mortal life It is quite idle to
assert, as some Democrats are jauntily
asserting, that any Democratic NOM
inee can defeat him. The fact is, only
a Democrat who commands the conf
dence of the country in an unusual de-
gree can hope TO do it Probably no
Democrat Of the politician class can
do it. Mr.. Bryan certainly could not.
Governor Harmon probably could not.
The people who would vote against
Mr.. Taft are crying out for a new sort
Of leadership. Their only chance of
getting it is through the party that
has for some years been on the out

PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS IN THE EATING THEREOF
Another Wherein a Remedy

The wonderful proofs of the grand
work being done by the Quaker
Remedies continue to pour in at the
drug store. The most important of
the recent cases reported is that of
Mr.. J. P. Rhodes, proprietor of a meat
market and grocery store at 20 West
Government street. Mr.. Rhodes had
a severe case Of stomach trouble. He
was in such a condition that he could
not eat without distress. Had belching,
caused by formation of gases; was
badly constipated. and felt dull and
tired all the time. He called and pro-

Fine Dwelling Burned

Last Friday, about II 1:30.a. m
the large two story building be
longing to Mrs. Fannie HancocI
in the eastern part Of our city
was discovered to be on fire.
The origin Of the fire is hard to
account for, but evidently a de-
feet in a newly constructed flue
was responsible for it, as the
fire started in the space between
the upper ceiling and the roof.
Mrs. Hancock had been cleaning
the upper rooms and had burned
a lot of old paper in one of the
stoves in the second story. She
was practically alone on the
premises when she discovered
smoke issuing from the roof. An
alarm brought scores to the
scene, and in a short time the
greater part Of the contents of
the lower rooms were removed
to a place Of safety, and con-
siderable from the upper rooms
before the ceiling was burned
through and gave way. By
heroic effort and good manage
ment the outbuildings were
saved among which and very
close to the house was a coal
bin with the winter supply Of
fuel, about 400 bushels Of coal.
Superintendent Taylor Of the
high school turned his boys
loose on the fire in time to be of
much use as a salvage corps.
Insurance on the building and
contents aggregated 5000, we

False hair has preceptibly lost
its vogue. The fashionable
chignon is no longer a myster-

but a most artistic, close ar

means that the head sizes in
hats are not so large although
they still fit close down on the

Rettig.Welch

The not wholly unexpected
but occurring, a matter Of con
siderable surprise nevertheless
to friends, happened last Satur
day night when Mr.. Emil E
Rettig and Mrs. Milton Welct
were united in matrimony
Many believed the event had
already happened when Mr..
Rettig left for the West on 9
visit to relatives a few weeks
ago, and the very next day Mrs.
Welch pretended to be going tc
market for a stock of hats.
However, she returned several
weeks ahead Of Mr.. Rettig and
that fact dispelled all probability
Of their union and at the same
time encouraged and enboldened
several of Mr.. Rettig's rivals.
Nor did they take back seats to
make room for him when he did
appear. The bald-head row had
been pre-empted and its occu-
pants proposed to camp right
there until something happened
to one or all Of them. They
didn't have long to wait, for
while Mr.. Rettig was saying
nothing. he sawed wood all the
time. Are there any tacks in
those same seats? No. but Rev.
Franc. Mitchell made il too warm
for their comfort for a few days
after he said the magic words at
the pretty home Of the bride
which was final judgement in
favor Of the erstwhile editor Of
the Courier. The gum shoe
to the matrimonial alter
was a new method. and il is
said that some Of them are not
sure what has become Of Rettig
yet. One Of them is committing

The, shapes of the fall and
winter hats as exploited by the
autumn openings at Kansas City
and st. Louis at which I.was in
attendance, were exceedingly at.
tractive. They are all reminis.
cent of an earlier period. Hats
very wide at the base and taper.
ing to an absolute point at the
tip are great favorites, while the
big square crown and silk
beaver top hat are pleasing nov.
elites. II the crown be large
and high, the brlm is moderate.
The more inconspicious the
crown, the wider and more DOM
inant becomes the hat brim. On
the whole, brims have made way
in popular favor Of the crowns.
The crown is now the bulk Of the
hat. In small and medium sized
hats, high and sharply pointed
crown come first, then high and
rounding. some few are high and
square. The rule that when the
brim grows, the crown lessons
still holds good. as is proven by
the wide brims and low. fat
crowns Of the very large pic

State Highway Excelsior
Springs Meeting

me ueiegateS along the North
Cross State Highway met a,
Excelsior Springs Friday, Sept.
2 Every county and special
road district was represented ex.
cept one and the missing district
had a good report. !:
Very large delegations were
present from Liberty, Richmond
and Hardin.
A general discussion Of the
road work done so far shows
that the road bed along the route
is in first class shape and being
made a little better every day.
When President Robertson
called the meeting to order there
were over fifty delegates present.
The secretary reported that
from a phone message to Curtis
Hill, it seemed that already Mr..
Hill had decided to report the
most progress made on any Of
the routes was on the central
route and that it was his purpose
to have that road dedicated in
October, in the face Of the fact
that the Northern route has been
put in better shape than any
other as called for by the Resolu-
ton Of the State Board Of Agri-
culture. that il would be left to
the best dirt" road bed on 0c-
tober /. Mr.. Hill further said
that he would not have time to
inspect the different roads but
was going ahead without il.
When this report was made
the members decided TO take
care Of their own road in their
own way and thereupon formed
a permanent organization, with
not less than five directors in
each county. Il was also decided
to arrange for dragging the road
for one year.
The following resolution was
adopted:
That there be formed n perma-
nent organization Of the North
Cross State Highway BY each
county selecting five or more
directors. These with the presi-
dent. secretary and treasurer
will form the permanent board
Of directors.
The directors in each county
viii have charge Of all the work
in that county.
Il Is further the sense Of this
meeting that each county raise
$40 for each mile to drag the
roads when the North Cross State
Highway shall be dedicated.
The resolution was adopted by
an unanimous vote Of the dele
gates and the following Is the
organization: George
Robertson. Mexico. president:
W. r. Painter. Carrollton. secre-
tary: L. II. Herring. Brunswick. |
treasurer.
Charlton Judge L. II. Her
ring, Brunswick: 7. r. Hamilton. |

A standard was fixed for con-
crete culyerts. Same 70 be "a
feet wide and never less than 20 |
feet All hills where possible TO

cent grade.
The following committee was
appointed 10 select a sign for the
