In China the Book Of Filial Duty

"Wu sees them sucking his parents

grieve. His flesh, he thinks, can be
easily pierced, but that Of his parents

City Officials Endorse the Plan
Proposed by the Society to
Devote One Day to General
Cleaning.
ALL OVER COUNTRY
PLAN is APPROVED
Especially in the Far Western
States Is the Municipal
Cleaning Project Meeting
With Favor.

A1Jermdtn society IOr yard cleaning
day has been given by the board of
public works. The society expects to
arouse general interest in the affair
and 1t will become an annual event. II
was tried for the first time last year
and was a success, although it rainel
on the day set for the inspection of
yards and streets.
In letter to the civic improvement
committee of the society, the board of
works says:
Boards Communication.
1.-THE board of public works is in en-
tire sympathy with the movement in
augurated by the Aftermath. looking to
the future identifying of our city, and
approve of the setting apart of day
for that purpose, and will lend aid in
any way possible to insure the success
Of cleaning-up day. Respectfully,
&c. w. MERRILL,
CLERK of Board.
by order Of Board of Public Works.
Aftermath Communication.
"Civic improvement has reached its
perfection not in the east nor in cui-
tured New England" writes the mayor
OF Lexington, Wy, but out among the
Rockies there is city that is destined
to be the most beautiful in the world,
and that is the city of Denver. Coop
Grafton must exist there, or the people
of Denver could not have accomplished
what they have. Their streets are
smooth and clean, and it is the best
lighted city in the world. Thousands
of electric lights are placed along the
principal streets. and the unsightly tel
egraph and telephone poles have been
replaced by beautiful ornamental poles,
which are very pleasing to the eye.
Electric fountains, with thousands of
lights are In operation during the sum-
mer months. Let us instill into the
minds of our people that he who lives
for himself alone, lives in vain. but he
who lives that future generations may
be prepared to live better, has rendered
to mankind some service"
An extensive and earnest tree plant
ing movement was inaugurated in Chi
cago a couple of weeks ago.
Mayor Mcclellan OF New York, says:
Something more is needed to make
the happy city than health and wealth,
and wisdom. The city healthy, the
city wealthy and the city wise may ex-
cite satisfaction. complaisance and
pride. but it is the city beautiful that
compels and retains the love of her cit
izens.'
Richmon- can we'll be called the city
beautiful, If all persons would only
clean all trash and weeds from their
yards and plant instead, flowers and
shrubs.
Trees are incomparably the greatest
single feature in the landscape beauty
of ones home. Tree lovers frequently
pay as high as thousand dollars or
more for single transplanted speci-
mems. Not only do they add grace
and beauty to the surroundings, but
they are tangible real estate asset-a
substantial legacy from the past and a
worthy bequest to the future.
Our homes are not the houses in
which we sleep-they are the cities in
which we live.

ANCIENT ROME.

" CouIo Not Compare In 8plenoor
With Some Modern Capitals.
Rome, even in the times Of its great
est splendor. WAS poor in comparison
with the modern world. Even in the
second century after Christ, when 1t
stsed a. metropolis at the head of an
Immense empire, Rome was smaller,
less wealthy, less imposing than a
great metropolis Of Europe or OF Amer
tca. Some sumptuous public edifices,
beautiful private houses-that IS all
the sple0dsr Of the metropolis Of the

Moreover, the palaces Of the Caesars

that stirs the artist and makes the
philosopher think, but IL one sets him
self to measure them, to conjecture
from the remains the proportions Of
the entire edi6ces. he does not conjure
mp buildings that rival large modern
construction. The palace Of Tiberius,
for example. rose above a street only
two meters wide. less than seven feet,
an alley like those where today in
italian cities i've only the most miser-

"The Great Divide"
THE Great Divide" Henry Miller's
superb production Of William Vaughn
Moody's virile and wildly American
drama, has passed into stage history
achieved brilliant success from its
very first performance, broke. all prev
ious records in point of financial sue
cess, received more unanimously criti-
cal appreciation than all the rest of
the plays combined produced in New
York last season, played over six hun
dred performances on Broadway, at
the Princess and Days theaters and
then was brought back to the Acad-
envy of Music later in the year where
it played to capacity business for
more than six weeks. Altogether,
THE Great Divide" during its differ
ent New York engagements. was seen
by almost three quarters of a million
people. 1.-The Great Divide" comes to
the Gennett theater April II under the
direction of Henry Miller.
"A Broken Idol"
Not since the days when his produc-
ton of isle of Spice" set the theatre
cal world agog with its lavish splen-
dor has Manager B. C. Whitney given
the patrons of musical comedy such
a decided novelty as in his presenta-
ton of "A Broken Idol" which will be
seen at the Gennett theater on April
90. In fact it is questionable wheth-
er his latest success will not totally
eclipse the magnificent record made
by his earlier efforts. The piece which
is by Hal Stephens. Harry Williams
and Egbert Van Alstyne has enjoyed
an unprecedented run of over 800 per-
formances at Mr.. Whitney's Van Bur
en- street PLAYHOUSE, in Chicago and
comes to Richmond enveloped in the
halo of its metropolitan success. This
means that the original cast. headed
by Otis Harlan the inimitable come
dian. the same chorus and production
which contributed to the Chicago sue
cess of this musical entertainment
win be seen here. This is one OF the
few instances in which production
has been taken intact from a produc-
ing center and sent on tour.

Speculation as TO the date of the

stimulated by the statement of
Judge Mann that it would prob
ably be held on Thursday, August

which it can be held under the

which was cOnvc'od by Judge
