 FAUST"
 1t was not large audience which greeted Lewis Morrison and his com pany last night in that old familiar play in which he in former years achieved so much success. It was rather a top-heavy house, the pit not being half filled, and this notwithstand- ing the fact that a souvenir had been promised to each of the ladies who oc- cupied "a one dollar seat. The souven- irs were not given out last night, but Manager Jean Jacques explained the matter tboroumhlv before the c'--ta in wasrungup Or ths play to begin. C lady who occupied a one dollar seat was presenter with a card, and as soon as the souvenirs arrive this card pre- sented at the box office will entitle the one presenting the same to one of the little jewel boxes.
 The play itself could not be called a dramatic success True, Mir Morrison was there. but like all the old actors | he has grown old and he showed it last evening At times one could discover deoshes of the old spirit and fire which | made the names of Morrison and Faust so much admired by theate1 l attendants. To be candid, however | he surpassed all of his company in l ability, with perhaps one exception That exception was George S. Trinble 1 who played the part Of Valentine. His work was clean cut and very drama tic l Tn fact, one or two of his scenes were remarkably well played and very inter esting. There were just two others 1T l the company for whom word o1 praice could be said, and those were Miss Eloise Elliston as Marguerite anf Miss Addie Farwen as Martha Int rest of the company was not ever mediocre.

Those Employing Men Most Ehee-
tive as Town Builders.
The Pottsville Pa.) board of trade.
which has been busting around to get
new industries for the town, has
proposition before it for new silk
mill. 1t also discovers that silk mill
already in operation cannot get enough
hands.
Silk mills have been a favorite sort
of industry in the towns in the eastern
part of Pennsylvania, says the Phila-
delphia Press. They have spread large
" from New Jersey, and shirt fac
tories, knitting mills and similar light
manufacturing establishments have
been encouraged along with them. Wo-
men and girls constitute the greater
proportion of the employees in these
mills and factories, doing practically
all the work required. AS In Pottsville.
it is often found difficult to get all the
help required, and it has been discov-
cred that these particular industries,
while very excellent features in any
community, are not very effective as
town builders.
They do not bring new families to
settle in the town because they do not
afford employment for the head of the
family. An industry that requires the
labor Of men and can give employment
to men is certain to bring new families
into the community. adding to the pop
ulation and promoting business. The
town gets n substantial growth in that
way which is impossible to derive from
the establishment of light industries
These may serve the excellent purpose
of furnishing employment for all the
girls and women of the vicinity who
want employment. but they do not
bring more. Neither girls nor women
who seek employment in mills usually
go away from home for it.
1t is for this reason that some of the
towns of the interior that have eX-
pended 4 great deal of energy i'll pro
noting various industries do not ap-
pear to grow in the proportion they
should. The kind of industries they
have secured, while excellent and Civ
ing employment to many residents or
the town, does not bring additional
population from elsewhere. One estab-
lishment that would require the serv-
ices Of a few hundred men would be
worth Il dozen such as a town builder.
This has been well enough understood
in some places for Il long time. 1t Is
being learned in others by little ex-
perience.

AMERICAS WATER FRONTS.
Little Attention Paid to Them In
This Country.

Little Attention Paid to Them In
This Country.
A French architect who recently made
Il tour of this country, while delighted
with the many beautiful towns and cit
les he inspected, was aStOniShed that
Americans paid so little attention to
identifying their river fronts. 1t is a
lamentable fact that many of our most
admirable streams do not in any way
contribute to the beauty of the country.
They are merely an instrument of COM
mcrcc, invaded by docks. warehouses
and depOts and distigured by villainous
buildings. the walls of which come
down to the very edge Of the water.
In Paris, on the contrary, the utmost
has been made Of the river Seine, says
the Architectural Record. The river
traffic is considerable, yet the construc-
ton of docks and warehouses alongside
the water has not been allowed. Through
out the length of the Seine within the
city limits there is a broad quay OIL Ell
ther bank. In many parts there Is a
double quay, the lower one serving for
the loading and unloading of merchan-
disc and the upper one for street traf-
fic. Along each bank of the Seine run
two rows of trees. What the munich
pal authorities wanted was tree lined
river from one end of the capital to the
other.
The designs for all the bridges have
also been decided upon by them, and
the railroad companies before carrying
their lines across the river have had to
submit their plans to the city engineers.
This is why the Autenil viaduct, viewed
from distance, recalls to mind the al
ueducts Of the Roman Campagna. In
the same manner the city authorities
have the last word in regard to the
bridges which the Metropolitan Rail-
road company is going to throw across
the Seine.
In Paris no influences in favor Of pri-
vate interests can intervene to mar
what belongs to everybody-the beauty
of the city.

yves 1t to humanity to set up at least
one drinking fountain where horses
and dogs can Stake their thirst. But
few towns are SO situated that this

Good Roads Attract Home Seekers.

The excellent road system of Nassau
county, n. Y, is credited by a leading
citizen and real estate dealer of that
county with having done more toward
attracting home seekers than any other
inducement, not excepting the efforts of
the Long Island Railroad company to
provide the best train service. The ma
jority of persons who inquire for build
ing sites speak Of the good roads and
the pleasure they had in driving over
them.
