OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Connecticut House Cleaning Attracts
 Outside Attention,
tBoston Herald.)

NbOSlon derald.)
 The clean-up in Connecticut which Gov. Woodruff and civic reformers in Now Haven and Hartford have begun in state politics and against evil con .ditions at the state capitol is to be supplemented by vigorous attack on q corrupt city police force in Hart ford, and the clergy are banded to- gether in prophetic crusade against vice and collision between the vicious and the sworn protectors of virtue and executors of law.
 These signs of aroused public spirit and willingness to fight evil are well come. Connecticut may not havo been as corrupt as Pennsylvania, but she has been contented for many years with machine rule in politics which has injured the tone of much of her other institutional life. educa- tional and religious. At intervals men like pr. Newman Smyth have broken forth In denunciation, but the odds against the reform element have been too heavy. Now challenges are forthcoming which represent consid- erable organized reform opinion.

1t may be. We suppose that very hun gry people might be able to eat cheese even if they didn't like it. If there were a famine in this country and kind hearted Chinese should send over birds nests, sharks fins and other Chinese delicacies which are not popular here
 they would probably get eaten. If the Chinese would rather die than eat cheese, the people who like cheese will think they carry their prejudice too far.

KkEr AN EYE ox Nrw 5NnsEr.

KEEP AN EYE ON NFW .TERSEY.
 There may be no newspaper cartoons this year in which New Jersey mos- quitos will be pictured as flying away with elephants. Instead there may be cartoons Tn which earnest and effici- ent scientific gentlemen will be pictur- ed as flying away with New Jer- sey mcsqultos. It is asserted ,hl. the misunderstanding places around Newark have been abolished. Follow ing the plan adopted in Newark, a large amount of ditchlng has already been done in the Hackensack meadows, and the committee of the Board of Health having the work in charge reports that in few days there will not be pool of stagnant water on the area of the meadows treated where mosquitoes can breed. So thor oughly has the tract been drained, &C., cording to the report, that 1t is now possible to walk across the marsh dryshod. Nowgthe Hoboken meadows, which abound tin mosquito breeding pools, are to be tackled.
 If half that is claimed for such work is true Connecticut ought to be taking a lively interest in it. To be sure, the Connecticut mosquito is not as famous and infamous as the New Jer- sey mosquito, but it is well entitled to the same kind Of treatment. Perhaps if the legislature is sitting in mos- quito time it will think it proper to send committee to New Jersey to see if it gets bitten as it would have been sure to get bitten before the New Jer- sey mosquito was "exterminated"

c1ETE1AND,s SIP FILLING REFORM.

Though some of the magnificent mod ern school systems" are so progressive and hidebound that they can't profit by anything that is old, some of them are intelligent enough to pick out good things from the old days when the schools were not quite so systematic. Thus the school authorities of Cleve- land, where the spelling bee was made a feature of the schools at the begin ming of the present school year. report that great improvement in the pro- ficiency of the pupils in spelling has re- suited.
 In the old days children who didn't take a deep interest in the spelling contests were exceptional, and though some of them may since have had bus mess success, or even have risen to be superintendents of schools, they didn't count for much then. Perhaps the chil- dren of the new days are not so differ ent from those of the old days that they wouldn't take an interest in spell ing contests and incidentally learn something from them We should like to see the experiment generally tried.

CHEESE IN CHINA.

If news that comes from China is blunder in sending cheese to China for the use of those who are suffering from the famine. It appears that among 8 large quantity of foodstuff consigned to the famine-strlcken people of China by American sympathizers were thousands of cheeses. It is asserted that the Chinese as race abhor cheese, and the result is that in some of the northern places there is a glut of this commod- ity at present. Big eheeses are now procurable for sixty cents each.
 This doesn't look quite real, and yet

MANY AcRoBATs ON THE
CURRENT oRPHEUM BILL

TOO many acrobats'' is the general
verdict on the Orpheum program for this
week. The headliners, Belclaire BROTH
ers, are heavyweight gymnasts and two
excellent gymnastic acts remain from
last week AS to Bellclaire brothers,
they have much that is new and repeat
very little of the usual strong man stunt
They are examples Of what might be
called "muscleitis," and will be much
admired by those who adhere to the San
dow cult. The other acrobats are Mason
and Bart who combine comedy and ex.
pert pistol shooting with their gymnas-
tics. and the four Arconis, who make
extensive use of the spring board.
Another section of the audience con-
siders that there are too many comedy
sketches on the bill. All of these are
holdovers, though the version of Hens
foot Corners" given this week by Mr..
ana Mrs. Jimmie Barry differs from their
last weeks offering. Ichabod Dalrymple
Smart and That's right are looked for
in vain. Lucy and Lucier and John with
their messenger boy stunt and Minnie
Seligman's company In "a Dakota
Widow" are the same as last week.
A colored-real, not cork-song and
dance turn by Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy and
Francis justifies their engagement by
raising and keeping up the laughs. Their
exploits are programmed as real coon
habits and deserve the description. Les
Aubin-Leonel open the bill and are men
toned last because they are in class
by themselves. Foreign acts. when an
nounced to come from the Folies Bergere,
are usually a frost, and the Aubin-LeoneI
are no exception.
Except for that the orpheum show is
all right.

that has been heard in the superior court

LA TRAVIA7A' IS
COMPANY'S TRIUMPH
PADovANI BEYOND CRITICISM IN
HIGH TONES
Nine. Gadsh Occupies Box-opera Is
ExoeilentIy Produced-ArcangeIl
Excellent in Dramatic Solo.
Chorus Good

The greatest performance yet pre-
sented by the Milan Opera company was
la Traviata" last night.
Nine. Padovani in fine voice, proved
herself to be a great artist. From her
first great solo, "Ah forse lui," to the
last grand ARIA An Gran Do" Nine.
Padovani did earnest, true artistic work.
Her staccato work, her high tones, her
intonation, were beyond criticism. Can
we say more of any artist?
Signor Parola sang the role Of Aiferdc
as he has every other role-like' true
artist His enunciation was excellent.
His voice grows upon one and we like
him better every opera we hear him in.
The interview between Giorgio Germont,
the father, and Alferdo, when the father
appeals to his son with memories of
home in an andante, "Di Provenza ii
Mar" full of pathos and simplicity, was
beautifully sung by Signor Arcangeli. 1t
is by some considered the best solo in
the opera Although simple in form, 1t
is a great favorite, and he was obliged
to repeat it. Arcangeli is one of the
greatest artists in the company
The masked chorus of gypsies, with
their tambourines, the chorus of matadors,
a double number ending with gay oolero,
went well and the chorus deserves great
credit for the good work all through the
opera.
The opera ended with quintet which
was very effective The basso, Signor
Maiocchi. gave us some fine tones. His
voice is very telling.
A fine house greeted the artists.
Mime. Gadski occupied a box last even
ing and seemed to enjoy the opera ex-
ceedingly. She goes to New York from
here and opens her own season In 'Aloa' T

REJECT TILE FOR
SOME BUILDINGS
MUST NOT BE USED IN WEIGHT.
CARRYING WALLS
Council and Board of Public Works
~ Turn Down Recommendation of
California Architects Encour-
aging Tile Industry

Architects of California chapter,
American Institute of Architects. and the
hollow tile industry caught a blow yester-
day when the city council denied the
architects petition encouraging hollow
tile in buildings thirty feet high or less
The board of public works had for
warded Builder Inspector Backus' report,
which discourages the use of hollow tile
for weight carrying walls to the councu,
and this was approved.
Councilman Dromgold remarked that ne
thought the report would not apply to
roofs and partitions which carry ro
weight, and with that understanding voted
for rejecting the petition, as did the other
councilmen.
Inspector Backus' report on the sub
ject is as follows: -l
In my estimation it would be ex-
tremely unwise to allow the use of
hollow tile blocks for exterior or IN
terror weight bearing walls within the
fire limits, for the rsason that 1t has
been demonstrated that said tile is
such an excellent nom conductor that
the outer wall or shell of the tile will
become red hot when subjected to in"
tense heat. while the interior walls OF
the tile are comparatively cool
The result is that the outer shell OF
tile lowing to expansion will break
away from the connecting "sp' dAloi
which a wall of such tile, carrying any
considerable load, would collapse by
buckling.
In the event of a fire in a building OF
ordinary construction. which might be
located In close proximity to struc-
ture built of hollow tile, there would
be grave danger that burning timbers
falling against such a structure would
penetrate the wall and thus set fire to
the contents of said hollow tile build
ing.
Even an ordinary blow will fracture
the tile in such wall. and the back
ing of heavy wagon against the
building would be liable to cause quite
a break to say nothing OF the oppor-
tunities offered to a mischievous boy
or any one else armed with heavy
hammer, who could with very little
effort break through the walls of such
. structure.

HoN THE QUIET" WELL
DONE AT THE RELAsco

Well played, there is a laugh In every
minute of the Thomas comedy, 'On The
Quiet" in which Willie Collier made such
hit some half dozen years ago. AS
presented by the Belasco company with
Lewis S.. Stone in the old Collier role
there was scream last night every fiftv-
five seconds, and few extra ones thrown
in during the second act, which is to saw
that the presentation by the Blackwood
aggregation is we'll up to the hallmark
the house.
If you want to laugh, laugh heartily
and long. go TO see 'On the Quiet" IT'S
a cure for the blues, so contagious a
hopeless hypochondriac must needs forget
his Ills and laugh as heartily as the
fnerriest schoolboy.

construction, but 1t is never tiresome. and
the bright, sparkling comedy never fails
to bubble forth at the most unexpected
