assumed toward the interests from
which they have heretofore received
their richest fodder and look to
London for an asylum safe from the
clamor of what they are pleased to
consider the mob. Whether they, will
withdraw all of their financial inter-
ests from the United States does not
appear. If these are transferred to
England. they will be subject to the
income tax, to avoid which many
wealthy Englishmen have transferred
their investments to this country.
Should the American expatriates take
their money to England there will
thus be presented the interesting
paradox of the citizens of one coun-
try sending their resources to another
country in order to dodge what they
consider oppressive excise measure in
their own land, and the citizens of
the country, SO benefited choosing
the Objectionable income tax as the
most desirable of two evils, thus
counter balancing things.

CITIZENS OBJECT TO
CONCERNING OYSTERS

New Haven, March 15-Manyj citi-

to protest against the Board of Health
ruling that CLAIMS and oysters taken
from the harbor flats cannot be sold
here for food. Condemna ton of the
bivalves was on the ground that they
are contaminated by sewage. Elk
Senator Honan says the oyster indus
try will suffer a yearly loss of $4,000.
DR.. George Converse said that unless
the imaginary boundary line between
good and contaminated clans was
changed the city might be sued for
S1Oo, 600 damages. He said that one
oyster firm in which he had a family
interest would suffer loss of $20, GOO.
He also said that typhoid fever does
not come from oysters and that shell

OF their intention to move to England
IS Interpreted as a protest against
the nation wide agitation for the

popular aversion to High Finance
displayed throughout the country dur
ing the last year. commissions in
many quarters have been barely suf-
ficient to pay office help and tele-
graph tolls, leaving little or nothing
for the heads of the concerns.
In the opinion of some of the astute
of the financial group here, there is
little hope of any improvement in
their position, whether the next Pres
ident is Taft, Roosevelt, Clark, Han
mon or Wilson Practically all OF
these are more or less pledged to car

tion of the trusts. SO that Wall ST.,
which sees in such a policy curtail-
ment of its big underwriting profits
of other years, looks for little relief
through either a change in the per-
sonal of the next administration or
the return of the present incumbent.
Most recent of those to declare his
intention to pick up stakes and eX-
patriate himself is Urban H. Brough-

to force attention upon them for a

vites trouble.
Some time since, the hotel prOprle-
tors were asked to voluntarily dis
continue the practice but declined to
do so, alleging that Americans were
willing to give tips to hotel employees
for services rendered. New York has
always been known as the most liberal
city in the world in this respect and
from all the big cities of Europe has
for years attracted the avaric1ous and
predatory Of the waiter class. Oppo-
sition to the bill is looked for from the
hotels and the walters association
which desire to perpetuate the pres
ent system. New York, which pays
it's tips under protest, has little hope
that it will become a law. Outside
of the legislators who are sponsoring
the bill, few persons will actively work
for its passage, because Of the gener-

This prescription is said to be based on
experience and to be a sure proven
tive of domestic troubles if followed
according to rules. 1t represents the
concrete judgment of three different
women, all more or less qualified for
the task each of whom has given her
views separately. First and most
prominent Of them is the Princess
Troubtekoy, (Amelie Rives) who dis
cussing the subject this week said:

key with him, the woman, in short,
whose tastes most nearly agree with
his own. The saying Many men,
many minds, may be truthfully writ
ten. Many men, many wives It is
just exactly as foolish to pick out one
feminine type and say, let all men
seek her. as it is to select one system
of religion or philosophy and say let
all men follow it!' One mans ideal
wife would be another mans torment.
Suppose, for instance, that a man
in whom sporting tastes predominant
should marry a woman whose greatest
pleasure consisted in travelling about
through Italy and Greece and Spain,
and lingering in all the beautiful quiet
corners Of the world. That man would
not be happy with his wife, but it
wouldn't be her fault or his either.
Simply, they would not be so consti-
tuted that they could share one life
in common. The ideal wife for the
sportsman is woman who is herself
devoted to athletics and who has a
keen personal understanding of the
lure of the game. The ideal wife for
the plain, unima ginable business man
is a woman who is not visited by i'm

SERVANT IN THE HOUSE"
A HIT AT THE oRPHEUM

"The Servant in the House" the
artistic merits of which have brought
fame to its author. Charles Ram
Kennedy, was creditably presented
last night by the Corse Payton Stock
Company at the Orpheum Theatre.
Though a religious play, there is moth
ing throughout the five acts at which
one can take offense. no matter what
his religious belief may be. It teaches
a beautiful lesson which n cannot
help but learn.
The f~urtherance of the brotherhood
Of man Is the theme of the play, and
it is conveyed by the eternal triangle,
this time by three brothers, an Eng
fish vicar; the bishop of Benares. his
older brother, and the third, a drunk
ard and cleaner Of sewers. Joseph
w. Girard, in the latter role. has one
of the most difficult parts he has por-
trayed since becoming connected with
the Payton forces, but he rises to the
emergency.
The story has to do with the three
brothers. The vicar is awaiting the
arrival of his older brother, whom he
has not seen for many years, and
who has become the bishop of Be-
mares. The other brother has fallen
into disreputable habits through
drink. At the lowest point Of his
degradation, the vicar manages to
steal his only child away from him
and adopts her. On the day on which
the bishop is expected to arrive a
new butler begins his services. He is
ON Oriental, attired in the garb Of
India.
In reality, the butler is the bishop
of Benares, who has chosen this way
of becoming acquainted with the spir-
ltual affairs Of England and the
household in which he has a b%rotherly
interest. Then enters the disrepu-
table brother. He meets his daughter.
neither knowing the other.
How the servant in the house, be-
fore making known his identity, rights
all the cross purposes at which the
others seem to be living, ~reestabllsh-
ing the brotherhood of man. at least
in his own brothers house, is Won
derfully wrought.
Clifford Stork, the leading man Of
the Payton forces, portrays the exact
ing role of the servant in the house
in a clever manner. The other parts
are in capable hands.

to the end. &
The first act displays a scene at

parts played by VIII Fox and Harry
Stewart, two would-be plungers, and
Eddie Dwyer was exceptionally
clever. Their parts were capably
handled, as well as were all the other
male parts.
Miss Lanier DeWolf and Miss Pearl

women, carried off the female honors
in a walk. Each of their solos were
encored time and time again.

hotel telephone girl in his attempt to
firt he rights the wrong by allowing
himself to be arrested in mistake for
the girls brother. in order to enable
the real brother to escape.
