FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16.
Agricultural Display Will be Splendid at the Fair
USED CLUB ON
OFFICER'S HEAD
R. W. Solesbee, White, Resist
ed Arrest By Patrolman
Newsome. In Court Friday.
K. W. Solesbee, a white man who
says he is a concrete foreman for W.
F. Bowe & Co., faced Recorder W. D.
IVvin in court Friday morning on
charges of disorderly conduct and resist
ing an officer, the circumstances con
nected with the latter charge being of
a serious nature, it is said. He was
fined $lO for disorderly conduct and SIOO
for resisting the office*. The officer
was Patrolman Newsome, who was se
verely beaten over the head with his
own club when he attempted to place
the man under arrest.
A warrant has also been sworn out by
the police department against Solesbee,
charging assault and battery.
Solesbee is said to have been drinking
in a saloon at the corner of Broad and
Marbury streets, when first noticed by
the officer. However, he was not suf
ficiently intoxicated to warrant his ar
rest, according to the policeman. Later,
the office* asked two men who were
apparently w r ith Solesbee to carry him
away. Solesbee is said to have become
indignant and asserted that the officer
could not arrest him. He is alleged to
have cursed Officer Newsome and when
the latter then attempted to place him
under arrest a fierce fight ensued in
which Solesbee secured the police’s club
and struck him two severe blows on the
right side of the head.
The assailant was shot at twice but
missed.

ENTERTAINED FRIENDS
Elegant Banquet Served at the
Hotel Plaza on Thursday
Night.
The Plaza Hotel, located on beauti
ful Barertt Plaza—a hostelry erected
by Mr. Henry G. Kale of this city that
would do credit to any city—will be
lorinally opened Saturday morning at
7 o’clock.
To mark the opening of his hotel,
Mr. Kale last night complimented more
than an hundred of his friends with
a most delightful eight-course dinner,
served in the handsome new house,
which is just complete. It was a feast
to be sure and no dinner could have
been more deliciously palatable, nor
more deftly served —served by the
Plaza Hotel waiters, on the Plaza Ho
tel linens, using the hotel’s new cut
lery, etc., and served under the per
sonal supervision of Mr. W. T. Wil
son, manager of the Plaza Hotel.
Shown Through Hotel.
Mr. Kale’s guests began to assemble
in the handsome lobby of the hotel
shortly before 8:30, the appointed
hour. In parties of two and more
they visited the rooms, as the hospi
table hand of Mr. Kale had opened thj
house for inspection by all present.
The rooms —seventy-seven of them
in all—are magnificently furnished and
carpeted. Kvery detail has been care
fully attended to and there has been
nothing left undone that would make
any of the rooms more attractive or
more convenient. All are outside
rooms, which is decidedly an advant
age. They are well lighted and well
ventilated, steam hated and each con
nected with a bath. Every bath room
has as hower in addition to the tub.
A modern feature of the Plaza Ho
tel is its safety devices to prevent
even partial destruction by fire, tho
entire building being equipped with
the latest automatic fire sprinklers set
in the ceiling. The danger of fire is
minimized.
Mr. Roy Goodwin Toaatmattor.
At the dinner last evening Mr. R.
Roy Goodwin acted as toastmaster.
Not by any means the least enter
taining feature of the -evening was the
singing of the "Curbstone Quartet,"
Messrs., Chapman, Rox, Cotter and
Mtdherin. The cheerful music of the
orchestra added greatly to the enter
tainment as well.
Among Those Present.

removes still another. In a few years

AT THE BIJOU
Ray Monde?
The Bijou is showing for the last half
of the week a really big vaudeville show,
and the prices, remember, are less than
iormerly. You can now take the best
su .t in the house at the matinee for ten
cents, and see three acts of Keith vau
deville and the moving pictures besides,
or at night you can take the best seat
20 cents. Seats in the balcony at
night are 10 cents.
The best act on the program, now be
ing shown at the Bijou, is that of Ray
Monde, the impersonator of impersona
tors. He's simply a woman. He cer
tainly is a man or a woman but which?
Ask anyone who lias seen him. Go see
uim yourself. Besides the mystery as
to the sex, his act of impersonation is
clever.
Uressed in full dress male costume,
but with the figure and face of a wom
an, Ray Monde? with curly close-crop
ped hair, makes you think ‘it* Is a man;
and just as many thing 'it' is a woman.
Rut you are not satisfied, especially the
women; and when after a change of cos
tume he-she emerges in an elaborate
and beautiful gown, the women in the
audience exclaim, ‘There. I told you it
was a woman.’ But their joy is short
lived, for Ray Monde? whips off the
ladies’ purple wig, showing the boy’s
wig underneath, causing them to think
‘it’ is a man, for the moment. After a
bow, off comes this second wig, where
upon a mass of lustrous brown hair
falls over ‘her’ shoulders, to the audi
ence’s surprise and conviction that it is
a woman after all. And when after a
number of bows this last wig is sud
denly whipped off, the result creates a
sensational uproar in the audience, and
last night they kept talking and debat
ing on it for several minutes after the
act was all through.
Howard anti Linder are seen in a
comedy act: As Father t’sed to Say.”
