"THe Good Natured Man.

New Haven, Conn, April 25--On MONDAY anu
Tuesday evenings the Yale Dramatic Association
will take an important step in university play
acting. putting on the public stage here for tie
first time one of the famous old five-act com
edes Of English drama. The attempt is an am
bilious one for any college dramatic assocla-
ton calling for high class Of acting by the
Yale actors for the first time since dramatic
productions were attempted at Yale. Hitherto
the Yale actors have depended to a considerable
extent upon action and setting to win success in
their presentation of old English comedies. This
year the college players will step for the first
time into a class Of art that has until now been
monopolized by the '1egitimates." 1t is this
fact that attracted more than the usual atten-
ton of college dramatic associations throughout
the country to the Yale play this year.
In THE Good Natured Man." Goldsmith's
New-York tribune., 1903-04-26

Tumblfng on stage. shouting, horse play, is not
comedy. The natural play of expression on the
face to represent amusing woe or wotul
amusement the sharp outlining of lyric, the
keenness of repartee, and again the natural
expression Of a face moved by a comic situation
all these are comedy. At least, that is my
opinion"

MUST STOP REBATES.
Kansas Salt Trust Receives orde 5
After Admitting Charges Made
Aaainst u.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. Sat a hearing
conducted here today by Judge Prouty of
the interstate commerce commission on
the charge on Independent salt companies
that the Kansas salt trust is receiving re-
bates from the railroads, the freight traf-
fic managers OF the Santa Fe, Rock Island
and Missouri Pacific practically admitted
the charge. 1t was charged that the
Hutchinson and Arkansas River railway
existed on paper merely for the purpose
of obtaining rate concessions from the
other roads, and thus obtaining an adj
vantage over the independent salt oper-
ators. Judge Prouty decided that such
rebates had been given and ordered them
discontinued.
JOY Morton, president of the salt COM
pany said that about $4,000 had been paid
In rebate this year. w. X. Biddle, freight
traffic manager Of the Santa Fee, testified
that deal was made whereby in the di-
vision Of the tariff % per cent. was to be
paid to the alleged paper railroad, which
the commission afterward decided was
owned by the salt company. Mr.. Biddle
would not admit that the rebate had gone
to the salt company.
The inquiry was not finished today.
Judge Prouty said he would inspect the
books of the treasurer of the salt COM
pany's road and would take further tes-
timony in Chicago on December %. Judge
Prouty announced that the roads partici-
pating in the issuance of the joint tariff
would be subject to fine as well as J..
p. Tracy, who solicited the rebates.

FOB SEPARATE PARTY.
Negroes of the South Hold Meeting and
Make Declaration.


Chattanooga. Tenn. Dec. .g.--As re-
suit Of the meeting OF negro leaders OF
this and other states held here the
COMMITTEES on platform gave out the
declaration of its principles and as
serted its independence OF other par
ties.
After reciting that conditions in the
south are such as to demand q separate
negro party, the declaration says in
part:
When it becomes necessary for any
race to sever its connection with po-
litical parties in order to preserve its
existence it is wisdom to call upon all
peoples Immediately concerned for aid;
we. therefore, call upon all races and
classes for aid and moral support, not
only in organizing separate party in
opposition to whisky and cocaine, but
in remonstrances and petitions to the
powers for the enactment of such laws
as will suppress the evils complained
of. We call upon our brethren in the
states which have disfranchised them
to enanasse, organize and petition their
respective legislatures for the passage
of laws to protect them against co.
caine, whisky and peonage.
Forty years of freedom and civiliza-
ton have not taught many negroes
that IL is a crime not to care and sup
port their wives and children, and
stringent laws should be passed fore
ng the men to do so.

pose of invading the isthmus
NO details are known, and the rumor
san not be confirmed. 1t probably had
ITS source in Port Limon, Costa Rica
where it was brought by steamer from
Cartagena.
The only possible means Of approach
Ing Panama is by narrow and difficult
mountain passes through the Indian
country.
The United States cruiser Atlanta is
now off the Indian coast.
Following instructions received De-
cember from the navy department at
washington, United States gunboats
on both sides of tne isthmus have
started or are starting on reconnoit-
ering expeditions along the coasts
principally in the direction of Colom-
bia for the purpose of ascertaining the
condition of the trails and roads be-
tween the Panama and Colombian
frontiers, the facilities of the country
for sustaining expeditions marching on
Panama, and to generally determine
the United States best course of action
In case of a Colombian invasion of the
isthmus, and also to learn the attitude
of the various Indian tribes inhabiting
both coasts
The Indians occupy the coast be-
tween Nombre de Dios and Cape III
huron, and have maintained their iso-
lation for generations. They have all
ways resisted the incursion of white
people into their country, not per-
hitting them to spend a night on the
mainland, and forcing the few VEN
turesone traders trafficking along the
coast to sleep on a small island. 1t
is reported that the Indians still keep
up the old Carib customs. They are
said to favor Panama, and are ready
to fight the Colombians.
Colombia never succeeded in taxing
or in any way controlling the San
Bias Indians, but the Panamans will
endeavor to establish schools in the
San Bias country,
