NEW YORK'S CAFES MUST
 CLOSE AT 3 A. M. NEW YEARS. Must Obtain Special Licenses to Sell
 Liquor Until That Hour

New York Dec. 22.-The major part Of New Yorks New Years eve cele- bration will close at a. m.. January 1, 1916, is the indication of an an nOunCement made by Mayor Mitchell today. The mayor decided, despite a strong protest by ministers and tenn perance associations, that all cages and cabarets receiving favorable reports from the police department may obtain special licenses to sell liquor until 8 a. m. on New Years day.
 There are tWenty-eight cafes held ing all-night licenses, and these will remain open as usual. The mayor said in making his decision that he tried to effect a compromise between the cafe owners and the temperance inter- ests. He added that, in his opinion, nearly all New Workers were ready to go home at 8 o'clock in the morning, but the few that wished to remain up after this hour would find accommo- dations. About 200 applications for special licenses have already been re- ceived.

1 tion Picture Houses in the Metropolis play the great organ.
 In Birmingham MT Rienzi Thomas the latest addition, and the choice of t eminent musician to play the organ ''The Strand is an achievement which most pleasing to the movie public. Have you heard MT. Thomas play? I dropped in the other day to see Fl Janis in her own photo play. Twas E Thus and awfully clever it was, LOO may say, en passant, and I was VI much impressed by the beautiful mu MT Thomas played more particula because of it's appropriateness. For instance, in the second part of play. the peri9d of 1865. when the lit scene betweens the north and the so, was enacted-and that deiciously
 fashioned atmosphere of ante bellum' ds permeated the picture from cellar dome. MT. Thomas played the most ad able music: the old tunes like Way Do Upon the Swanee river,' Tn the Gloa ing" My Old Kentucky Home, Go Night, and all those appealing thiI that breathe the atmosphere of the i south and make our heart ache and h and love everything connected with tn, sweet old days of the long ago
 Just so did MT. Griffith in "The Bil of Nation," with his 4o-piece orches play those old fashioned airs!
 And how MT. Thomas can playl
 There is a grandeur about his handl of the organ that fairly picks up a sec on the screen and takes it up into heights. The entire universe seems shiver with the tragedy of the film; y are literally shaken and swayed a tossed about by the volume of sound WI he lets the big organ go at full tilt; { atmosphere trembles with the emotion the story; all the danger of fire and wa Is doubly suggested; a tumultous O pouring of harmony from every s creeps into ones sensibilities and you fairly swept along with the current the story; while as quickly the artist shl off all the big volume of the instrumt and with single Flute D'Amour" eff, pours out the soft, melif1uous, tend caressing airs that seem to get into yo very heart as you sit there enthrall delighted, magnetized.
 The organ does a dea. more besit sway the emotions.
 It bellows like a tiger, grunts like bear, roars like a lion Git has Hal Gilfoil dashed to the mast, believe m squeaks occasionally, like everything tt squeaks, wriggles like python, a rags" like the inhabitants of SC brette fiat. Yes, all this and more, as t story on the screen requires.
 The organ was a success before 1t " ever a reality 1t is the one single instr ment that provides the possibility of 1, chestration to a single performer, allo ing him to follow the cadences and r ances of lights and shades, and fill entire building with the beauty of eupho ious sound.
 It brings the "Movies'' one step neal to perfection!

 will you settle a family battle with regard to furnishing our home? We have a beautiful brick house, but about 16 different kinds of furniture in every room The living room is furnished in light brown wood We have two nice ma hogany chairs, an oak and light willow sttnd. Then there are black walnut chairs and two huge black leather cov- cred arm chairs. Our father sent out a loN ely brown leather davenport and a handsome rocker of quartered oak and brown leather Expensive pieces, I'm sure. but with the general conglomeration-- awful! We want him to get rid Of the black leather chairs, but calti per- suade him that the whole effect as 1t now is is not harmonious and delightful.
