A crowded house at the Academy last night enjoyed a novel and delightful musical treat In John V. lsham's "Ori ental America," a pot-pourri of solos, duets, quartettes, chomlses and ope ratic selections rendered by a company composed entirely of colored people. Eight of them, Belle Davis, Mattle Wilkes, Mme. Ploto, Maine Calloway, Margaret Scott and Messrs. Woodward, Jackson, Elklns and Johnson are solo ists of no mean order.

Dimensions nt It Will Be When the Fnrr Bill It in Full ForceThere Are Four Hundred and Seventy three Fupitt in High School" Girls More Numerout Than Boyi. According to the reports now being tabulated by Secretary E. D. Fellows, of the board of control, there are 2,345 more pupils attending the public schools this vear than there were at the close of last term, and over 1,000 more than were enrolled during the first school month of 1S5. Judging from these figures and personal observations at the schools Superintendent George Howell estimates that the average attendance this year will be about l.OoO more than the average attendance last year. The enrollment during September was 12.595. Of this number 6,973 were boys and 6.722 girls. In June, the last month of the previous school year, the schools closed with an attendance of 4,813 boys and 5,437 girls, a total of 10,250.

It may be, how ever, that when steps are taken to en force the law there will- be a large addition to the number of pupils In the schools. CF.NSUS OF THE CHILDREN. Secretary Fellows has a census of all children between the ages of 8 and 13, who by the act are required to attend school and it Is expected that the board will direct him, at the next meeting, to proceed to compile a list of non-attend-Ing children letween those ages. This will be done by sending to the prin cipal of each school the names et all children In the district served by that school and have that officer make a return of such as are not on the roles. Then the larolits of the absent chil dren will have to be visited by an "attendance officer" for which the law provides, and if the children are found to be In attendance at neither a pri vate, parochiul or other school where in the English branches are taught, it will be the duty of the "attendance otllcer to report the parents as vio lators of tho law and the board will have to proceed against thfj.i. SOME MODERN PROBLEMS A Canadian Journal Stales TbemVery Clearly, But Does Not Throw Much Light on Their Solution. From the Toronto Globe. A judgment was rendered not long since by an American court Involving the power of a city corporation to own and control a system of street railways. Though the judgment favored the city, one or two of the judges talked as if state or municipal ownership of rail ways were a dangerous form of social ism. With many persons the boundary between public and private action is purely arbitrary, and is fixed by use and wont rather than by reason. The aver age man, for Instance, regards the proposition that education is a state af fair as self-evident, and where there has been any conflict of authority it has been between the state and the church, the notion of allowing educa tion to be conducted by private busi ness enterprise being practically not discussed at all. Tet It is tolerably certain that If the business of education had dropped opportunities for the rapid accumulation of wealth the state would not have been allowed to control It without a struggle, In which it would have been contended that state educa tion was a perilous experiment In So cialism. Before the day of the railway no one ever thought of denying that tha high ways were public property. The Intro duction of the railway meant either that the state should hand over the highways or run trains. Tho one prop osition Involved as radical a change as the other, but the choice was never presented to the people In that plain form; the railway service passed un der private control because the pro moters were Bharper and more vigilant than the law-makers. It will be found that many of the social problems of the present day arise from the fact that scientific Invention and business enter prise move so much faster than law and government. The railway cannot be regulated by the laws which were made for stage coaches, nor can mod ern trusts and combines be kept within bounds by restraints which were fram ed for another set of conditions. 'It is one thing to prevent the grocers of a town from formlnz a corner In can dles, and another to deal with such n huge monopoly as the Standard Oil company, or to keep the price of Illu minating gas or electricity within mod el atlon. For some time It was supposed that the public interest would be fully protected by free competition; but it lias been 'demonstrated that free com petition In railways, or In the supply of water, gas and electricity, Is out of the question; that there Is usually an attempt at competition, which the riv als nnd to be ruinous and abandon, substituting for it a combination in which the cost of the experiment is taken out of the public. Economically their position ia sound. One line it railway, double-tracked, la safer, faster and less expensive than two so-called competing lines, single-tracked and poorly equipped and maintained. So It Is not In the interest of a city to have three or tour rival companies supply ing water, gas or electricity. It is be coming an axiom In economics that in all these cases the interest of the publio can be best protected, not by an attempt to enforce competition, but by public ownership or strict public con trol; that one good service ia better and cheaper than two or three poor ones, but that the state ought to see that the benefit of the saving; goes to the, public. But this Is, after all, only one phase of a situation which, to minda least Inclined to despondency, must appear grave. The last half century has been one of extraordinary industrial devel opment, and in all that has been done In this way the United States have fully kept pace with the rest of the world. In that country human energy, aided by science, has been applied to natural resources of extraordinary richness. A man would hardly have Incurred the reproach of a visionary if he had ex pected from this happy conjuncture of circumstances a condition of society In which poverty would have been as ex ceptional as cholera or leprosy on this continent. It Is true that there are vices and weaknesses of character which tend to produce poverty and which no scientific progress can abol ish. The national drink bill. In spite of the vogorous efforts of the temperance reformers, is enormous. There is vol untary idleness, there is wasAe of food, there is lack of thrift in many ways. But there Is a great mass of poverty which can by no means be attributed to any of these causes. DIRECT FROM THE ORIENT. Choice Importations of Huge.
