The city OF Londons Dill for entertaining
is very amusing. When the king opened
the new Old Bailey it cost the corporation
ST. OS5 for champagne and turtle soup. One
thousand dollars would have been eX-
travagant. but s6.Os5 simply shows what
the corporation of the city can do in over
eating and overwhelming. The reception
of the kaiser cost 81. AGO. nine-tenths OF
which went also for eating and drinking.
and the reception of the colonial premiers
cost $4,000, and. worst of all. the recep-
ton of the Paris councillors cost S14.l20.
The guzzling seems to increase as the
guests become unimportant. for the re-
ception of the japanese Prince Fushimi
only cost $2.345.

Reputation Worth Acquirinq.

Townspeople owe it to themselves to build up reputation for hospital lty They should ever welcome the residents of the surrounding country to their town. But hospitality alone will not win. People have their eyes on the mighty dollar, and if in addi- ton to hospitality the town secure a wide reputation as a good market place. where eggs and butter bring a few cents pound more than in some other town, it will work wonders in drawing patronage to the place.
 Clean and well-paved streets indi- cate the good character Of citizens living in place.

QUEEN IF TIE HENS
PEG" MOST PERFECT FOWL so
 FAR FOUND.
Cared For by Her Own Valet and Takes Life Easy-owned by Kan sas City Millionaire Who
 Raises Poultry.

St. Louis.-The queen of the hens of those in America, at least-fs a crystal white Orpington, Peg. be- longing to Ernest Kellerstrass, a mil lionaire of Kansas, who makes the raising of prize poultry a fad
 It is said that no other hen in the world has won so many blue ribbons as have been awarded to Peg. Accord ing to the National Poultry associa- tion of America she is the most per feet fowl so far found At several shows she has scored 97%.
 The services of a valet, and some times two, are given over exclusively to the care of this hen She lives in big steam heated barn and is given bath every day She has her own private pen in which to run and look for worms. Other chickens are not permitted to associate with her.
 She is fed ground meat and ground toast, especially prepared. Her legs and feet are manieured. her feathers brushed and sprayed, her comb treat ed chemically to redden it's color and her beak kept highly polished and well rounded
 Peg has not a broken or missing feather She is also perfect in con tour of her body, and her legs and feet are featherless, which count perfee- tion in this class of birds
 Pegs valet receives a big salary to attend 10 her wants. He watches over her to see that no other chickens break into her pen and engage Peg in a fight. thereby damaging her fine plumage. He also fnspects her food carefully, buying the meat himself that enters into her daily diet.
 Peg is possessor of a dainty mani cure set, and a cut glass perfume sprayer. both the gift of admiring women who have visited her at poul- try shows
 Since 1903 Peg has been going the rounds of poultry shows, every year taking on new honors. She won first prize for perfect points at London, Honolulu. New York, Jamestown, Chi CdSO d1d NduSd6 1itSt res Is lHG proud owner of IS blue ribbons. As her fame spread she became a greater attraction among poultry faneiers
 In New York Mme Paderewski, who is herself a poultry fancier. visited the poultry show and was immediately inn pressed with Peg. When she visited the Chicago poultry show she saw a number of blue ribbons attached to Pegs booth In Kansas City she visit ed the kellerstrass farm and offered $2, 300 for Peg, which the owner re- fused
 Peg lays about 225 eggs each year, but Mr Kellerstrass has for the last year refused to sell any eggs from her, as he is striving to produce pen of perfect chickens of this kind He has so far been unable to raise a bird per feet in every marking and standard.
 Peg is great source of attraction to Kansas City people, hundreds of whom visit the Kellerstrass farm to see her. She is very friendly, having spent a great deal of time at poultry shows. Being an object of admiration does not seem to embarrass her.

GREAT ENGLISH WELCOME.
Madame Nordica Received by 2S,000
 at Crystal Palace.

When Nine Nordica. who is to be heard here February 27, at the Fly perion, with Walter Damrosch and the turned to London some years ago after her first operatc success in England, she was welcomed by sn audience of 25,000. the occasion being the Triennal Handel Festival at Crystal Palace. The occasion acquired additional brilliancy as 1t was jubilee year and London was thronged with visitors from every part of the world The event proved in every way, memorable one in her career The chorus, numbering three thousand, being on the stage first caught sight of her and the welcome began extending to the orchestra and audience and proving in its volume the enthusiastic regard In which the woman and her art are held in Eng land. She fought her way there as elsewhere, step by step, but a career gained in such fashion is as enduring as the art that gained it. The next, and what proved very nearly to he the final appearance of Mime. Nordica was made at Queens hall, London, where she sang a program of songs by Am erican composers in a lecture on that subject by William Armstrong. Short ly after this event Mime. Nordiea was obliged to cancel all engagements, among others a state concert at Buck ingham palace. At one time the sing CTS life was despaired of and daily inquiries from the queen and all classes caused the posting of bulletine as to her condition. A good constitution and indomitable will aided in the final tri- umph of life. Mme. Nordicas place to- day is in the very foremost rank of , operatic sopranos and her fame ex- tends over the civilized world.
 No less famous, though in different direction, is Walter Damrosch, the l New York Symphony orchestra's bril- liant conductor, under whose baton the prima donna is to sing here. The att traction is under the managerial di- rection of Loudon Charlton.

"The Wizard of O."

"The Wizard of O." will be at the New Haven theatre on Thursday, Fri day and Saturday nights this week. with matinee Saturday, for the first time at popular prices. The curtain rises at 2 and D. m. sharp. This de- lightful musical comedy, the product of l.. Frank Baum, who supplied the charming fairy story, and Paul Tiet- jens and A. Baldwin Sloane, who fur nished the lyrics and score, is one of the most popular and entertaining ex- travaganzas ever produced. From a scenic point of view, it is easily the most pretentious of any of it's class. while the musical numbers and comedy of the piece are of the brightest klnd. Few characters of the eccentric com edy type have scored such a trenlen- dous triumph as have those unique rer- sonages, the Scarecrow an1 the Tin Man, and this extremely amusing due will long remain in ;he hearts and minds of those who delight in fun end frolic of stage folk.

Uncle Toms Cabin on Wednesday
 Afternoon and Evening.

The New Haven theatre will have on Wednesday next matinee and night, Al w. Martins mammoth production of the immortal American drama. "Uncle Toms Cabin; the most correct and ex- pressive scenic production of the late Harriet Beecher stowe's everlasting legacy to posterity ever seen in Ameri- ca. The only version that has been &C., cepted by the pulpit as a moral in- structor. No such amount of money as Mir. Martin has spent on this play this season has ever before been e.;oended on this neglected and much abused American drama. He has taken great pains in the selection of the cast and has engaged actors for their special ft- ness to their various parts, rather than for their ability to play some instru- ment in the band which has been the rule with managers of like attractions. The company which Mir. Martin will bring to our city numbers 50 white people. including chorus of 20 to im- personate tine negroes and add to tho pictures and sing and dance Tn the levee and other scenes.

 These pieces of apparatus owned ty Herman are curiosities in themselves and are highly prized by all magicians and by museums as we'll. Gilbert is the only illusionist who is able to oper- ate the apparatus of Herman.
