 ater last night 10 a larger audience than has visited the place in several weeks The slump seemed to have passed the house by on the other side. The audience appreciated seem ingly the work of the Boston Ideal Company in this pretty little musical
 mixup, and the work was really good. The costumes and every detail Of a high class performance is carried out hy Manager Burgess and his troupe with exactness that is surprising. The i comedy roles are taken by A. C. Bur gess and W r. Quisenberry and one who is familiar with the piece knows well enough what opportunity is given to Hadad and Nockey to ring 1 in the sort of +'business" that will cause an audience to bend double with laughing.
 The company is making friends ra- 1 pidiy. People are becoming more than pleased with the work of the company. One ian wrote to The Re

BEAUTIFUL
CHILDREN'S MARKET
A CIVIC ENTERPRISE.
Young Folks of NorwaIk, Conn.,, Con-
duct Vegetable Displays.

A children's market is the latest in
novation in the civic enterprise of Nor
walk, Conn. This market Is conducted
Saturday mornings from to 10 o'clock
on the main street in front of the Nor
walk hotel by the garden committee Of
the Norwalk Civic league. On display
are all sorts of garden truck grown by
the youngsters of Norwalk in their
own gardens. For several years the
committee has awarded prizes for the
best six children's gardens in town. A
few weeks ago the chairman, Miss ID.
S. Pinneo, hit upon this additional In
ducement to juvenile industry.
Prices are fixed by a representative
of the Civic league after inspecting
the wares offered and consulting with
nearby tradesmen. Account is kept
Of each child's sales, and at the end
of the season a prize will be given to
the youngster with the best record.
"The market is part of our plan to
beautify Norwalk," said Miss Pinneo,
chairman of the garden committee.
1--WE encourage the children to plant
gardens, supplying the seeds free as an
inducement. Our inspectors make sure
that the children are doing the work
themselves. So far, SO good. But then
our small farmers had the fruits of
their labors and no outlet. So we
planned this market, and we are de-
lighted with the results. There has
been a decided increase in trade since
the opening day few weeks ago."

JAPANESE CITIES BACKWARD.
Do Not Compare With American Mu-
inequalities In Civic Improvements.

Do Not Compare With American Mu-
inequalities In Civic improvements.
Following is an extract from con-
sular report from Consul George N.
Wish, stationed at Kobe, Japan:
japanese cities are very backward
with respect to municipal improve
ments as compared with American
cities. There will be large field in
this direction some of these days, how
ever, for American enterprise. There
is no city in Japan with a sewage sys-
TEN and none that know of in which
the streets are lighted or paved. Just
now the city of Kobe is engaged In two
large works, the harbor works and
waterworks, which have been tagging
considerably for lack of funds. No city
can undertake anything Of this kind
without the permission of the central
government at Tokyo.
The incidence Of taxation in japan Is
very high, while the wealth per capita
is very low, and the government at
Tokyo has been making strenuous eff
forts at retrenchment in order to re-
lieye the strain and adjust the finances.
There are in this consular district one
city of 100000 inhabitants, three of
about 10000 and numerous smaller
ones, so that when the time is judged
favorable there will be very large
amount of this kind of work under
taken. / should advise Americans who
are interested in these various lines to
keep in touch with the general finan-
cial situation in Japan.
With regard to city roads. there are
no curbS outside of the foreign conces-
sion, and they are only repaired with
single from the seashore. This an
Swers the purpose, after a fashion, as
there is no heavy wheeled traffic, and
consequently the need for pavement is
not very pressing. One firm in Kobe
laid down at its own expense a short
strip of asphalt paving as an. expert
ment, which induced the city to pave
in this way the principal shopping
street for a short way, and the tram
way company has put down granite
blocks in one particularly busy street.
