VAUDEVILLE NOTES.

The days of cheerless darkness in
dear old Vaudeville are now num-
bered among the things that were, -
thanks to Mr.. A. D. Piaggio, the en-
terprising president of the Mande-
vile Electric Light and Ice Co., and
the few who rendered him measure
of financial aid to make the venture
a success. The pi turesque town
was last night furnished with a food
of electric light by the company that
had just begun operating the finely
equipped plant on Villere street, in
course of construction for several
months past.
The magnificent beach presented
a very attractive appearance with an
unbroken line of lights breaking into
darkness along It's entire length, and
an unusually large number of resi-
dents and visitors indulged in prom
enades with greatly increased pleas
ure.
On other thoroughfares of the de-
lightful town the brilliant lights
proved highly appreciated innova-
ton, and the denizens were very
grateful for the desirable improve
ment.
The fine plant is modern in every
particular, and its initial operation
so ccessful-promises we'll for the
future
Now that the spirit of progressive
ness has asserted itself with such
magnificent achievement, it is gen.
orally hoped that our own CONNER
cial leaders will emulate Mr.. Piag-
gio's commendable example of pluck
and push and indominatable perse-
verance and provide the town with
other enterprises that will afford us
comfort and revenue without stint
