James Jay Smith Tells What Was Done at Groton Long Point. In a recent letter to Dr. Charles Mallory Williams of Stonington, James Jay Smith says: “With reference to mosquitoes at Groton Long Point, our operations there in ridding the Point of mosqui- toes have been a great success. Five years ago, when we started to develop this property, the place was known as a terrible mosquito hole, and they used to descend on us in droves as we walked about the property. This was the greatest handicap the place had in its development, for people _simply would not_go out to look at the lots. Many people never went over a block from the trolley because of being chewed up by the mosquitoes, and they lost heart and went home. “As the development of the property went on, the mosquitoes continued to hamper ‘us, so we finally decided on digging ditches through the marshes, connecting up the various pools and allowing the surface water to run into these ditches at low tide. “This past summer, which, as you know, was one of the worst mosquito vears ever known along the coast, we were practically free from them at Groton Long Point. In fact, one of our cottagers told us only last week that he thought he did not see more than three mosquitoes all summer. The three that he did see must have blown in on us from Poquonnoe marshes, for we are practically with- out mosquitoes unless we get a strons wind from the north, which will blow some in on us; then the fresh south breezes blow them back again, so we are not troubled. his ditching operation was very mexpensive, when you take into con- sideration the tremendous amountof 2ood it has done us and the way it has increased all property values at Groton Long Point. ~ We emploved a crew of Italians, who dug these ditches the average depth of their spades, simply . throwing the sod to one side and one man could diz a great distance in a day. “It is too bad that the state of Connecticgt cannot see the great ad- vantage that wculd accrue by the state's adraining all the marshy land along the coast. This could be done at small expense, considering the benefit that would be derived. $15 FOR JUST ONE EGG If You Have Paper Money—Letter from Rev. John Howland. IN MEXICO The December issue of a Boston magazine publishes a letter from Mex- ico dated Oct. 21 from Rev. John How- land. Both Mr. and Mrs. Howland (Miss Chollar of Danielson) make lit- tle of all they are passing through at this time “counting it all joy” if only they may serve Christ. He writes: “It is a novel experience to be staying in a place which we have been re- peatedly warned, almost ordered by our government to leave, and from which nearly all the Americans have fled; and the consul has been removed. Yet we never passed the time more quietly in Chihuahua or were better treated by all whom we meet. Many of the local conditions are rather far from being ideal, but we suffer no real privation. Prices in paper money sound horrifying, ten to fifteen dollars for an egg or an apple, $150 for a chicken, and most things in proportion. On the other hand our telephone costs less than a cent gold a month, and electric light for a dozen lights and a grill only about four cents. These conditions are very hard on the poor, and those in government employ and getting only paper money for pay. A large part of the business of the city is being carried on with silver, which has been hidden during these’ vears of revolution.” JURY CASES IN COMMON PLEAS COURT. on Three Days Next Week.

Woman’s Auxiliary—Programme Full of Variety and Charm—Persian Garden With Cabaret Was Big Feature. Nearly 400 attended the amateur vaudeville entertainment which opened in the new amusement hall at the Nor- wish State Hospital on Monday night, under the auspices of the Woman’s auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. The en- tertainment was in the nature of a formal opening of the hall which was recently completed and it was in every way a decided success. In connec- tion with the entertainment there was a Palm room on the second floor where all sorts of fancy articles, can- dy, baskets, flowers, etc, attractively displayed on prettily decorated tables, found ready purchasers. On the first floor is a Persian Gard- en where ice cream and cake found a ready sale. . The entertainment which _opened shortly after 8 o'clock was held in the handsome_theatre on the thira_floor. As_general chairman Mrs. Edwin W. Higgins has worked untireingly and with great resourcefulness in planning all the intricate details and in overcoming all the difficulties, big and little, that arise in the course of such an undertaking. She has had much able assistance from all her corps of assistants and the two nights +hat the vaudeville will be given prom- ise good financial results for the aux- iiary. Preceding the opening number and while the theatre was filling the or- chestra comprising Fred Geer, piano; William Malone, violin; David Liv- ingstone, clarinet; John M. Swahn, cornet, rendered the following concert propramme: Part First. Opening Number. Second Regt.” March C... Reeves Closing Number. Baclk in Dixie Land . Part Second. Opening Number. Col. Wellington . Closing Number. Conn. March .. Mozambique Moks The first of the nine numbers was an original minstrel show entitled A Senegambian Soiree, which was pre- sented by seven “cuilud genlmen” who styled themselves the Mozambique Mokes. Their six musical numbers, and_especially the solo, Woodmzst Spare That Tres (the slippery eim tree), were very creditably rendered and ‘their jokes, including local hits, were of the first string line. The six musical numbers follow: Opening chorus, ensemble; Rose City Four, popular medley; song, Wood- man ' Spare That Tree, Bones: dance specialty, Varsity Rag; Rose City Four, Goodbye My Love, Goodbye; closing chorus, Ragtime Land, company. The cast was as follows: Interlocutor—James Dana_Coit. Bones—Traver Briscoe, Joseph C. Worth, Jr., John E. Vaushn. Tambos—Philip A. Johnson, Ray- mond B. Sherman, W. Humphrey Almy. .. Remick .. Reeves . Nassann John McKinley's Poem. John McKinley followed with an original poem in which he took oc- casion to compliment the Ladies’ aux- iliary to the Y. M. C. A. for their splendid work, afterwards distributing a number of local hits which were well received on the part of those con- cerned, nearly all of whom were in the audience. Especially Pretty Featur The third number was A Century of Rhyme and Rhythm, in which Ray- mond B. Sherman and six popular young ladies representing the girls of the various periods dating back as far as 1790, took part. Miss Florine Scofield represented the alrl of 1790, Miss Lucy Loring the girl of 1815, Miss Olive Huntington the girl of 1840, Mi: Gladys Preston the girl of 1865, Miss Ruth Sullivan the girl of 1890 and Miss Sara Loring the girl of 1915 With Mr. Sherman as partner each of the young ladies zave an exhibition of the dance prominent in the year she represented. All were charmingly and appropriately costumed and danced with grace and ease, especally Miss Sara Loring, who was forced to respond to a persistent encore. The verse written by Miss Mazie Caru- thers was read from the wings, the effect being very novel. An intermission of 45 minutes gave all an opportunity to visit the palm- room, where the sale was held and the Persian Garden, where delicious cake and ice cream were sold. Magic by La Montague. La Montague, the popular magician, opened the second half of the pro- gramme with a_number of masical feats that kept the audience guessing. His first trick, the tissue paper trick, ‘was certainly a puzzler and the audi- ence is still wondering how the torn pieces became whole again. The rising card trick and the ten card trick com- pletely mystified all and to cap the climax La Montague proceeded to take an almost endless stream of articles from a borrowed derby. No one was more surprised than the owner, who ‘was entirely unaware that he had car- ried a_drygoods store around in his hat. The magician closed his per- formance with a flag trick in which he turned a number of small flags of all nations into one large handsome American flag while the orchestra played the national anthem. Tumblers and Charlie Chaplin. Charles Gevers and Charles Hunt- ley, the tumblers who made such a hit at the Y. M. C. A. circus in the armory last spring, appeared as the fifth num- ber. Charlie Chaplin (Ed. Jewett) got in the way as much as possible and created a continuous laugh with his funny wobble, tiny hat and ‘baggy pants set off with the characteristic cane which generally found its way into his vest pocket as a resting place. Gevers and Huntley completed their act amid well deserved applause. Campbell Sisters and Scotch Lassies. The sixth number was a song from the Campbell Sisters, who rendered Comin’ Thru the Rye, and a dance by eight pretty Scotch lassies, who were roundly applauded, and who were forced to respond to an encore. The lassies were Florence Smith, Georgette Comeau, Barbara Allen, Leotta Oat, Henrietta Gallup, Mary Lester, Kitty Sloan, Dorothy Gregson, and they were drilled by Miss Marguerite Wulf. They were costumed in the dress character- istic of the Scottish Highlanders. Y. M. C. A. Athletes. For the seventh number, a dozen Y. M. C. A. athletes presented a pyra- mid act under the direction of Physical Director O. H. Nickerson. The boys worked together like clockwork, re- flecting the careful training given them by Mr. Nickerson, and they came in for more than a generous sized share of the applause. Small flags ot foreign nations were used effectively in the formations and as a fitting climax a large American flag which haq been hidden from view in the flies at the rear of the stage slowly un- rolled while the orchestra played, and the audience t0od up. Those who' took part in the act were Alfred Grebe, Charles Roessler, Hans Bauck, Alex. Charnetski, Charles Poole, Samuei uwe, Arthur Johresn, Willlam Young, James Blair, Ellis Sage, George Dyer and Theo. Bauck. Drill by Military Men. The next was a drill (Butt's Manual) by members of the Fifth company, C, A. C, C. N. G., under the direction of Captain Willlam G. Tarbox. Private Grebe first gave an exhibition of indi- vidual drill work and then the soldiers, headed by a Boy Scout carrying a large American flag, marched on to the stage and executed a number of com- wands given by Captain Tarbox. Cabaret. The final number, which was enti- tled A Dining Room Cabaret, consist- ed of a solo by Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard, accompanied by Frederic W. Lester, and a dance by Miss Mary Flynn 'and Alexander Kilroy. Mrs. Bard rendered Yesterday and Today (Spross), and for an encore she sang The Banjo_Song, Homer.

The inci- dent is regarded as showing that the authorities are constantly _exercising a strict surveillance over the German civilian resident in Japan. The Japan Gazette, published at Yo- kohama, prints a copy of an affidavit which was sworn to by Martin Pors last July at the American consulate at Yokohama. The affidavit declares thar the copper business transacted by the firm of Otto, Refmers & Co., in Japan direct or through others in _ Japan since the outbreak of the war has not been done and is not done with Ger- many nor with Germany as the ulti- mate destination. It continues by saying that all the copper shipped by the firm to New York is sold in New York through its asent, E. P. Earle, un American citizen, to various American refining establishments.
