Irvington, X. J.. Oct. i:t.—The tragic
story of it man who error in his youth,
paid the penalty and then set out tq| re
coin the respect lie had lost, only to suc
ceed and have his early folly once more
brought to light, was unfolded yesterday
when the prosecutor began an investiga
tion into the motive, that prompted the
suicide on September 26th of Mayor Ed
ward R. Folsom, of Irvington.
It was in Hnmmondsport, X. Y.. that
the story hnd its beginning. It was the
age-old tale of wealth and poverty and
love. Folsom's family was poor. The
girl he loved was the daughter of the
wealthiest man in the town, and her
father eefused to accept the youth as a
son-in-law. The boy was desperate. He
forged the ’wealthy man's name to several
checks, und "later was caughi red-handed
lobbing a bank.
His sentence was ten years at hard la
bor at Auburn prison, but the late Theo
dore Roosevelt,, then governor, pardoned
him, nfter three yenrs had .been served,
in response to a petition headed -by the
girl’s father.
Folsom anil the girl were married, but
rtiejr divided to. move away and start
life, anew. They came to Irvington,
where Folsom started in business, won
many friends, and prospered. He was
elected mayor of -the city, and his work
in the church and community jrere high
ly praised.
Thei) cartie the dark cloud that cast a
shadow over the man who had made a
mistake jn his youth. Someone (his son
says the prosecutor has the name) who
knew his past, conflated him with the
facts', ntul demanded blackmail.

REAL ESTATE LOANS—
It is no disgrace to borrow money. The best people of
’ any community are, or at some time have beeh' bot-roWers.
i It is only by borrowing that most people are enabled to get
l ahead in the.world. Many well-to-do persons have been
’ heard to say that they never, saved money so fast as when
\ they were in debt and felt its obligation resting; upon them.
In borrowing money, However, care should always be
l taken to know beyond the possibility of a doubt, that, the
l terms of the repayment are well " within the/borrower’s
f financial ability that he is not rendering himself liable for
i greater payments than he can reasonably meet, and that
; in time.he. will get rid of the obligation entirely.
WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS
• >
Our loans are repayable in Weekly or. Monthly inwall
r ments. To the person, desirious of getting rid of Ms debt
' this is like attacking an army in detail, -and the borrower,
j| instead of having one large payment to look forward to and
ij worry over, has a succession of moderate weekly or month
ji ly payments which can easily be met.
