woMEN's CIVIC CLUB.

Interesting Meeting Held Yesterday
Afternoon-Talk on Japan.
There was a good attendance at the
meeting Of the Women's civic club held
all Center church chapel yesterday aft
ernoon, The president Of the club,
Miss Alice M Bacon, who has recently
returned from a tour throughout Japan,
gave a highly interesting talk on life
and manners in that country. The po-
Icing and sanitary conditions Of the
principal cities were special features
which she dwelt on. A stranger may
go out in Japanese city, said Miss
Bacon, even after dark without any
fear Of molestation. The sanitary con-
ditions in Toxic are very perfect and
the city is kept extremely clean. The
method of transportation, she claimed
was very good, as well as cheap, For
instance, in Toxic one can ride dis
lance of some fifteen miles for the
small sum of two cents. The conduc
'tors are models of politeness and ex-
tend the greatest courtesy to their pass
engers.
Miss Bacon commended very highly
the system of parks and play grounds
which she claimed could hardly be i'm
proved upon, The address was intense
ly interesting and much enjoyed by all
who heard it.

GRAYS AND GIRLS NOW.
HYPERION NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF "THE MOOKING BIRD.u

Premiere Performance of the Big
Amateur Comic Opera TO-night-Big
Advance Sale Shows Public interest
Actors Say Show is Excellent.
In many homes in this city to-day
the chief topic of talk and thought will
be how this or that member of the fam
lily will acquit herself or himself in the
premiere performance Of THE Mocking
Bird" which the New Haven Grays
give tonight and for the balance Of
the week in the Hyperion.
Professional actors who happen to be
in town have taken sufficiently friendly
interest to give valuable assistance in
coaching. For instance, a young ac-
tress last evening took in charge some
of the dancers and gave them a drill
that added finish to the steps in short
| order. She said:
Il don't recall ever seeing a company
of amateurs that had more ability or
worked harder than the Grays' COM
pany. The girls have splendid voices,
and the strong male contingent gives a
volume to the choral numbers that is
often lacking in the professional comic
operas. The public will be surprised at
the high quality of this thing"
The performance will begin at S:15
o'clock tonight. A few good seats are
still available for tonight and for Sat
urday. Friday is practically sold out.

The will of the late George A. Isbell,
the real estate dealer. was filed in the
probate court yesterday morning by
Attorney Arvine The will was execut-
ed in 1874 The testament appears to
bequeath all of the property to Mrs.
Theron A. Todd, but this may be dis
puted by the heirs of Mr.. Isbell, as
Mrs. Todd's name or rather the prefix
Mrs" appears to have been written
in after the will was executed. If 1T
can be proved that it was written in as
stated the will is void.
There will no doubt be hearing to
determine whether the Mrs" was
written In before the name Theron a..
Todd after the execution of the will.
MIR. Isbell was assessed on property
in this city for $28 900.

terday morning through Attorney J. P.
Goodhart by Herbert Newton Platt of
ST. Whitney avenue against his wife,
Ella Blanche Platt, now of Usage, Ia.
Mr.. Platt alleges infidelity and also ac-
cuses his wife Of bigamy. They were
married in this city in 1904 and Mrs.
Platts maiden name was Carter.
This is thought to be the first inter
state suit for divorce brought here
since the recent United States court
ruling that a divorce obtained between
parties in different states is legal only
in the state where brought. Attorney
Goodhart states that his client is will
ing to accept Connecticut jurisdiction
in this suit.

GAME LAWS IN THE TRANsvA1

GAME LAWS IN THE TRANSVAIA
In the Transvaal generally the same
game laws hold good FOR natives as for
white men-i. e.. :, no game may be
killed within the reserves, sor outside
of them without license, by any per-
son be he white man or Kafflr.. All
trapping and SHARING of game is strict
ly forbidden throughout the country, as
is the sale of egs of game birds, with
out special permission. These strict
rules work admirably as regards the
Kaffirs, who, instead of spending their
days in the pursuit of game of loafing
istheir villages, are now induced to de-
vote more time to the cultivation Of the
land, the rearing of livestock, and, as
regards the younger men, to the earn
ing of wages inthe service Of Euro
peans, either as private servants or on
publec works, A very dry and barren
season Immediately otter the inception
of the sew game laws showed that the
prevention Of game destruction had
by no means, as was In some quarters
predicted, the effect of causing the ma
tives to starve, but, on the contrary, by
forcing them to go out to work and
earn the high wages which the Kaffir
almost invariably receives in the
Transvaal, actually raised their stand
ard Of living considerably. The pop
ulation of the game reserves, as a
whole, now takes the preservation Of
the fauna as a matter of course, and
there are few cases of breach of of the
game laws among them, yearly all the
poaching cases which have come to
light being on the part of persons liv-
ing outside or in Portuguese territory.

FUN WITH THE pHoNoGRAPH.

Versatility of the Machine as a Source
of Amusement.
Few owners Of the photograph re-
alize the great versatility Of this ma
chine as a source of amusement. BY
it's use the following experiments may
be carried out. In addition to the
machine itself, recorder and a. few
blank records will be needed. Speech
by Tom Thumb" The machine must
be speeded us as high as possible and
the above announcement recorded Cd
a blank in deep loud voice. The ma
chine should be quickly slow down
to about so revolutions per minute
and the speech or monolog recorded
at that speed, care should be taken to
articulate distinctly When the blank
is full, the reproducer may be substi-
tuted for the recorder, and the ma
chine be brought up again to high
speed at which the announcement was
made. When the record is repro
duced at this speed, the result will be
the loud voice of the announcement
followed by a rapid, piched-up little
voice making the speech.
"a whistling duet by John Smith. :"
This startling announcement through
the horn would create much surprises,
Put on a blank; and, after the speed
| sat about 100 revolutions, whistle
some popular piece Of which you know
the second part. When the record is
full, set the record back to the be-
ginning again without stopping the
machine. When the recording point
gets to the commencement of the
piece the first part will sound family
in the recorder, thus giving the cue
and the pitch for the second which
should be recorded not quite so loudly
as the first.
Several notifications of this exper-
iment will suggest themselves The
first attempt may not be perfect such
cessful, but that need not be considered
a drawback, as a spoiled record can
be easily cleaned with rag and lit
tie kerosene The rubbing should be
| lengthwise of the cylinder till the lines
are all removed after which a soft
cloth is rubbed around the record to
give a polish. Hard or gold nodded
records may also be cleaned in this
way, which fact suggests another
amusing trick.
This will call for two records, pre-
ferably talking selections, which are
exact duplicates. One of these Is
doctored" by cleaning off the latter
half, the rest being protected by a
piece of writing paper wrapped around
and secured by an elastic band. On
this blank space various remarks
should be recorded, which should be
very different from those originally
there. The good record is to be
played through first. While saying
that you will repeat it the second one
Is quickly substituted in the machine,
and of course starts off exactly like the
first one. When the "doctored" per-
ton is reached, however, a change
will be noticed, but cannot be account
ed for by the hearers.
BY taking two records Of entirely
different character, cutting each In
two, and putting on half of one and
half Of the other, we can jump from
the sublime to the ridiculous by
quickly Tipping the reproducer across
the gap, from one to the other. With
care the thinaer half of one of these
records may be slipped halfway on, in
