VAUDEVILLE AT THB JACQUES.
 So let the wide world wag as it will, I'll be gay and hapy stiI,'' is the wisest philosophy that anyone can profess these times. And it is the philosophy Of many people in Waterbury, as any one may believe who looks in at the Jacques any fternoon or evening and sees the large audiences there in all stages of happiness and laughter. How could they be otherwise than happy and jolly, however, when they are wit messing a show that has for 4os head liners Watson, Hutchings and Ed wards? If vaudeville has any superiors in the laugh h-proyoking line they, have not visited Waterbury. It Is one con tinuous laugh from the minute the cur tain goes up on their comedietta, ssI1he Vaudeville Exchange," until it closes on the last word before the audience is invited to take a voyage to Lima with the vitagraph. It is much the same while Ward and Curran, two of the best known of the old time vaude- vile headliners. are presenting "The Terrible Judge" MT Ward is certain lly a. very accomplished eccentric com edian and Mfr Curran is one of the sweetest singers heard here in any kind of entertainment. Others on the bill are Charles Kenna, the three LeAiotts, Al and Mamie Anderson, Fred Zobedie, and the Pearce brothers. Prices are 10 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and % cents, ladies 10.

AMERICAN ExTRAVAGANCE.
To Be Saving in the United States. a Man Must Possess Moral
 COurREe

Economy Tn this country, and espe- cially on the Pacific coast, is almost disreputable. A man is ashamed to acknowledge that he walks to save car fare or orders light lunch to save the expense of a heavy one. One never finds Californians ordering one por- tlon of meat at a restaurant for two persons, even when they know that one portion would be more than enough for both. There was a time, not very long ago, when people in\ San Francisco, says the Bulletin, disdafned to accept change from quarter of a dollar, and especially in barrooms the porters thriyed and grew rich on the small silver, contemptuously called chicken feed,' which patrons left on the bar.
 To be saving in the United States B man must have moral courage. The man who refuses to pay more than a reasonable price for clothes, let us say, or for dinners, and who puts the money thus saved into a bank, feels like thief; and people talk and act as though to save money were in fact to steal. it.
 Only in extravagant America, how ever, is economy putable. Here, as some one has written, where one man is as good as another, he must be lavish of his money; being all soyer- eigns, we nRst be as prodigal as princes, But in Europe no one re- spects 8 man the less or treats him the worse for trying to live cheaply. Peo- pie of wealth and breeding do not dis dain to practice little economies in Europe.
 This extravaganza with money is a natural trait of rich people, and it would do less harm if only the really rich Americans displayed it. But the middle class Americans, striving to show themselves as good as the mill lionaire countrymen, are the most prodigal of all, and it is they who. while spending more than their means made reasonable, have created the general opinion in Europe that every American traveller is an unspeakably opulent person to rob whom is the patriotic duty of every European brigand that goes under the name of inn keeper, guide, merchant, servant pr others of that ilk.
