"GAY MASQUERADERS"
 AT PARK THEATRE

As choice collection of girls as have toed the piney boards at the Park theatre for some tfme-ponies- mediums and show girls in all the vii vacity and sprightliness of youth Of such is the Gay Masquer aders com pany which opened at the Park thea tre last night. And leading in the mirth are comedians capable of draw ing laughs.
 Staged oin three acts filled with new and up-to-date songs it is a medley The slight thread of plot which runs through the production Is lost sight of until the close.
 George B. Scanlon, an aviator who fails to aviate with Mark Adams as Prof Julius Schmidt, scientist, to- gether kept the almost capacity house in roars of laughter. Eddie Nelson, Allen Robinson and Stephen Paul in song. dance and jest add the foam to the brew.
 Then the 'EWidow's chorus'' compris- ed of the Countess Hedwig Won Muller, Mabel Clark and Mildred Gilman, with little Lillian Webb added to the joy ousness of the occasion. In the slight, forded Mabel Clark one wonders why she is not featured in her evident spe- cialty She evinced natural grace and boise which allowed full sway would equal the art of "Rajah.''
 Specially prepared scenic effects ac- centuating such songs as the 'Ihost of a Violin will be cordially received and entitle the direction to the hearty applause they evoked last night. The attraction remains for the rest of the week

 The usual Halloween pranks occu- pied the youngsters and some of the older ones last night Foot Smith was one of the victims. MT. Smith is an ardent Democrat and never at- tempts to hide his colors. In his window he has posted an original opinion of Bull Moose.'' The opin- ion is interesting and humorous. Last night the front of his store, windows and all, were pIastered with portraits of Bull Moose candidates and Re- publican literature. Mir Smith was out early this morning with a pail of hot water and bung starter remov- ing the offending literature. A bar rel of plaster left in Robert Si1liman's new house was discovered by the boys and the contents was distributed with out favoritism on the front verandas of-the residents. of East Broadway and Elm street. Little damage was done, however, and few front gates were disturbed, in fact there are too few for Halloween maurauders.

I've don't plaster them over with chalk to prevent the public from seeing the unfinished condition of the interior. but to keep the workmen from battering out the glass.

ROOSEVELT CLAIMS HIS PARTY HAS WON NO MATTER
 HOW BALLOT MAY RESULT

New York, Nov. In statement made public today, Col, Theodore Roosevelt said:
 We have already won. Whatever the result of the ballot. is, the Pro- gressive party has been founded and put upon a lasting basis. The old miscontrolled organization is a thing of the past and the dream of the peo- pie for social justice and a return of their government into their own hands has been formulated into a party pro- gram and an organization which will carry on the fight until it is won. It is inmaterial what part I play. If I am able to serve that is sufficient If another can serve better. that is equally satisfactory. The main thing is for the movement to go forward to definite results
