Tariff Sends Up Price of Rouge; Woe on Broadway ,

New York, Aug. 20. Broadway was cruelly stricken today in a shot near its heart, when, in accordance with the new Payne tariff law, advancing the duty on all Imported soaps, toilet preparations and cosmetics, the retailers along the big road put up their figures accordingly. There was a groan from among the chorus girls and the chorus men, and even some of the stars didn't hesitate to make moan over the ruthless manner in which an unfeeling Congress has screwed up the prices on articles 1 which to them are as much necessities of life as bread itself. To boost the rates on lip rouge, eyebrow pencils and patchouli works as great a hardship to a part of Broadway as if a prohibitive tariff was placed on ham and eggs. Not Ultimate Consumers. "We ain't no ultimate consumers, whatever they are," said a chorus man standing by the stage door of the Casino, waiting for rehearsal to begin, this morning. He had just come out of the drug store across the street, where he had been charged double the old price for an atomizer of brilliantine. "I don't see where we come in to be soaked by these guys down to Washington ." he added. ' I don't guess they know they are taking the bread out of our mouths when they make it impossible for us to have the best make-up stuff from France. Well, I'm the wise crackin kid. muhself, and- I'd ust lijke to go down there and make em a little speech. "We oughtn't to come under that law, nohow, 'cause we're traveling most of the time, and hardly none of us don't ever vote. Something had oughter to be done about it, and it's time for the Actors' society to get busy." Favored Brands From France. Most of the cosmetics stage folk use are imported, and the favored brands

Barnum Shows Make a Feature Of Clowns: Has Host of Them

Speaking of the clown, Victor Hugo said, "He could make them laugh, and, as we have said before, to make people laugh Is to make them forget what a benefactor to humanity is he who can bestow forgetfullness." Realizing the potency of humor, as a factor in entertaining the public, the: Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth management are making a feature of pantomimic clown work this season and to that end will introduce a regiment of fun makera in the arenic perfoi niances to be given here Monday next Sixty merry mummers constitute the clown quota, giving promise that there will be something doing ell the while in the way of joyous merriment. No longer can the clown depend on song and sally, for he can"t be heard, but the almanac and the funny man In vaudeville keep his jokes in circulation while he cudgels his brains for things to take their place. The three rings and a platform have made clowning a complicated business for him. . Now that he can no longer talk he has to be everything except a talker. He has to be an artist in makeup, sn acrobat, aa equestrian a pa&tomuaist.

These are the articles that the new Payne tariff most affects, for the duty on every perfume, sachet powder, pomade, toilet water and rouge has been raised 50 per cent ad valorem. The American manufacturers were not anxious for the advanced duty. On the contrary, they think it will have an ill effect on their chances of getting their own wares into Europe, and the retailers are all grouchy over the rates. But the actors are the ones who suffer the most, and all up and down the main lane today one came upon little knots of them holding impromptu Indignation meetings. THE CRIME OF IDLENESS. Idleness means trouble for any one. It's the same with a lazy liver. It causes constipation, headache, jaundice, pallow complexion, pimples and blotches, loss of appetite, nausea, but Dr. King's New Life Pills soon banish liver troubles and build up your health. 25c at A. G. Luken & Company's. The only Roman Catholic priest who ever was in congress was Father Gabriel Richard, who sat from a Michigan district and who impressed his colleagues with his character and ability. He has been recalled recently by the centenary of the setting up of the first printing press in the middle west Father Richard issued, in 1$K, from a press set up in Detroit, the Eassal du Michigan. The State Federation of Woman'3 Clubs in Kentucky three years ago began a campaign against illiteracy. It It formed 10.S school improvement leagues in the 11I counties of the state and offered as a prize to the rural school that did the most to make itself a model public school. The prize has just been awarded to the Buckhorn school in Owsley county. a musician, a gymnast, a lightning change artist. Now that fun-making appeals almost entirely to the eye each of the fifty clowj.s with the Barnum and Bailey circu3 has to work fifty times as hard, at the very least, as the oldtimer of the one ring circus and the one makeup. The clown 'act" is the feature of the new estate. The clown must make up in character. A coating of bismuth, a dab of bright red here and there, a Pierrot cap over his ears and a ruffle around his neck won t do now. He has to make up as the dude, as the countryman, as the confidence man, as the organ-grinder, as the fat policeman, as the lean yokel, as Mary Ann on her afternoon out and when he has made up he has to act his part. The clown act is carefully planned in detail as the vaudeville turn; each turn has its cast of from two to three dozen people, and it is rehearsed with all the, seriousness of an act from "Hamlet" The way it "goes' is watched uith as much anxiety as If a dramatist's fame depended on It, and it i3 trimmed into shape by the approval or disapproval of the public after the fashion, if not with the same delicate art, as comic-opera. -

WATER WAGON HAS MADE LARGE GAIN In Two Years, Seven and a Half Billion Drinks Went "Shy." REPLY TO TEXAS BREWERS DRV PARTY CHIEF COMPILES FIGURES FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE ADVANCE REPORTS HiS 8TATEMENT.

Chicago, Aug. 2). Drinkers in the United States, from the chronic 'souse' to those who occaslonalyy and lightly dally with the foaming stein or the sparkling wineglass, have "gone shy" seven and a half billion drinks in the last two years, according to statistics issued yesterday from prohibition na tional headquarters. In the same period 1,MS.his men who were wont to take an average of four portions of grog each day have fceconie total abstainers. In the seven and a half billion drinka that were missed had gone over the bar for consumption they would have cost $-JtM.449,ft)7.15 at the regular grogshop prices, while if they had been poured into a tank of sufficient capac ity they would have floated a fleet of battleships. The statistics were compiled by national chairman Charles R. Jones from an advance report of the United States internal revenue bureau for the fiscal year l!Xrt, and they were put forth us a counter to the assertions of the Texas Brewers' association that prohibition never prohibits and that more liquor is sold in "dry" than in 'wet'' territory. Statement in Part. The assertions are contained In a statement which reads In part as follows : "On the basis of the official records issued by the internal revenue department for the four fiscal years June .10, lfX to June SO. 1900. the astonishing fact develops that the liquor traffic during that time has come short of Its expected sales to an estimated aggregate total of 3S9.0S7.833.97 gallons of spirits and fermented liquors. "The liquor traffic had been increasing its output by leaps and bounds for the years up to 1907. "On a basis of growth conservatively estimated at figures only equal to the Increase during the year 1905 and 1906. there would have heen a total expansion of liquor production during the two years from 10O7 to 190O of 10,080,702.68 gallons of liquor. Did it happen? Well, hardly so you could notice it. As an actual fact during those two years instead of a gain above mentioned, which might naturally have been expected, there was an actual decrease of 80,006,621.31 gallons. "And here drop a tear for the poor alcohol mixer. For in just two years, from June SO, 1907, to June 30, 1909, the total difference between expectation and realization was actually the mere bagatelle of 389,087,333.97 gallons. No Beer Shrinkage. "Of this enormous shrinkage from expected figures of increase of liquor production, the whisky total is 37,882.607 gallons, 4-hile the beer production In the same time shows a net sprinkage of not less than 351.204.726.97 gallons from expected developments. This thirty-seven odd million gallons of whisky means a total of 1,894,130,359 drinks of fire-water, reckining fifty to the gallon, a conservative estimate; and 5,619,267,631 drinks of beer, reckoning every schooner at half a pint. The cost of these seven and a half billion of drinks of "booze" reckoned at the current market value, would have been not less than 464,449,997.15. "This is the sum the liquor traffic two years ago might have expected would pass through their tills In the twenty-four months which closed June 30, 1909. but of which, sad (?) to relate, they have never seen a penny. Suggests a Vacation. "Isn't it about time for the brewers' press agent and the whisky scribe to take a vz cation till further orders? "Putting aside for the moment the startling totals of expected increase in liquor production, which did not materialize in the last two years, we find an actual drop in liquor production of 1908 and 1909 from the figures of 1907, cf 14,657.329 gallons of whisky and 2,142,614 barrels of beer. That i3, there was an aggregate drop in liquor production for these two years of 2.045.9S7.6S5 drinks of distilled and fermented liquors from the total for 1907. "Reckoning that the average moderate drinker buys four drinks a day, the figures show that the equivalent of 1.40S.098 men no longer patronize the saloons as they did in the year ending June 30, 1907." ANNUAL MEETING OF METHODISTS WAS DECIDED Oil fContinue-J From Page One.) mainly through his great work and untiring efforts that the success or the church in Wayne county was assured. History of Church. Rev O. S- Harrison gave an interesting talk relating to the history and growth of Methodism in Wayne eounty and vicinity. The Rev. John H. Doddrige of the First Church of Vtocen.ies, formerly lived here, and spoke

along the same lines. His address was given close attention. He Is an excel-! lent speaker. At the close of the exercises, the executive committee met on the platform and aranged for the publication, of Mr. Harrison's book on the history of Methodism in Wayne county. The book will be published mediately and will be gotten out in pamphlet form, probably selling for 2- cents. It will contain cuts of the early churches and pictures of some of the early preachers. A sub-committee was appointed made up of the ministers of the county and officers of the executive committee, which includes one member from each church in the county. The officers of the sub-committee are: President. Dr. D. W. Stevenson: secretary. E. R. Thompson: treasurer, L. H. Bunyan. It was then agreed to hold annual gatherings of the Methodists in Wayne county which will be on the order of an all day picnic. It is believed this event will prove great success, and the sentiment shown yesterday by all who attended the celebration was trongly In favor of an affair of this nature. Describes a Battle. From the description of it given last

evening by Bishop Moore, the siege of Chemulpo muBt have been one of the most sensational of the recent RunsoJapanese war. The Bishop was there. saw it all. and last evening described it In detail to the assembled throng. His word pictures were vivid and th2 crowd was made to feel as if it, too, had seen the terrible devasutipn wrought by shot and shell aided by the submarine mine and torpedo. The battle of Chemulpo was one of the most important of the ruinous war. For days the city had been hemmed in by battleships. The forts had been belching forth death and destruction with each shot and there was carnage on every hand. The dead and dying were increasing In number and things were going from bad to worse. Th-j inhabitants knew there could be but one end and that would be when the Jap ships began the battle with the Russian squadron. Japs Aimed True. At last it began. The terrible missiles carving death in their wake rained on every side. The Russian ships fought their hardest, but ineffectively. The speaker said the Russians seemed to Are at random while not a shot was discharged from the Japanese guns, but that it was aimed and directed with great care. As the result it was merely a question of time until the Russian vessels would be broken open. The great war dogs became enwrapt in flames and with terrible detonations exploded, sending fire and water In every direction for hundreds of feet. When the end came, the Russians had been practic ally annihilated. The speaker Interspersed his remarks with little stories of a jocular nature. He said it was an awful affair to see men in ships killed and wounded. It was a sight he is glad he saw, but regretted that such things really happen. He does not care to witness another such spectacle. "Before we were married." sighs the trusting wife, "you vowed that my slightest wish should be law." "Hah:" sniffed the brutal husband, without looking up from his magazine. "If you rend the papers you would know there isn't any respect for law nowadays." Judge.
