HOSE TURNED ON.
Crowd of Young Men Driven From
Stage Door.


New Haven. Conn, April 23.-Several
hundred young men, including many Yale
students, have been driven from the stage
door of a theater here by a stream from
the fire hose. They had gathered in an
swer to advertisements for supernumer-
aries in production of Carmen.
A large contingent of students became
suddenly possessed of a desire to lend
their services to the production. The mar
row alleyway leading to the stage door
was soon filed and performers, as well as
box holders could not enter
To relieve the congestion, the manage
ment sent out orders to the waiting crowd
that the supply of amateur material was
equal to al demands. but this did not
serve to decrease the throng. and the few
police on duty also found their efforts OF
little avail The students Whiled away
the time with college songs and responded
to the police attempts to push them out Of
the alley with good natured cheers, and
remained immOvable. Finally the hose
was brought into action and hundreds
We're drenched before they could get
away. They did not return, however.

STARTING A WEDDING CHEST.

Quite the newest idea for engaged
girls is the wedding chest, and even
girls who are not engaged are the Sc
cret possessors of this sentimental and
at the same time sensible article. The
wedding chest may be a fine new trunk
of the latest style or it may be a plain
wooden affair prettily covered and lined
with lowered chintz.
The idea is to fill the chest with pref
ty things to wear or for the furnishing
and decoration of a home. One girl is
filling hers with dainty clothing which
she is making herself, another is
buying ornaments and knicklknacks
from time to time and filing her chest

An ISLAND OF WOMEN.

On small island in the Greek archi-
pelago there is a colony which is com
posed entirely of women. It is a sort Of
religious order which considers it a
disgrace for one of It's members to even
look at a man. When a fisherman ap-
proaches the island the women pull the
gray cowls of their cassocks over their
heads and turn their backs. Provisions
are never imported, as the women raise
their own products, being strictly vege-
tarians. Only the matron, who is an
nually elected head of the colony. is
ever allowed to leave the island. The
others remain on the island all their
lives, taking their turn at tilling the
soil, washing. housekeeping and fishing.

"a ~ ORE than fifty years ago
Mrs. Ben De Bar distin-
guished herself by the abiI-
\ y n fty with which she manag-
ed the St. Charles theater in
New Orleans One of the most sue
cessfui managers of her time, one might
almost say the most successful, was
Laura Keene. Fifty years ago she was
known from New York to San Francis
co as a gifted and famous actress, yet
her talent in this direction was not
more conspicuous than her ability on
the commercial side of the theatrical
business.
Laura Keene seemed to know intui-
lively when a stage aspirant had any
Shing in him. In 1855 she became man
ager of the Varieties in New York and
q little later of Laura Keene's theater.
While a the head of the latter house
nhe produced in 1858 for the first time
the famous play "Our American Cous-
in" 1t was an instant success and con-
tinues a standard comedy to this day.
How we'll Laura Keene could judge
young actors may be known from the
fact that in her production of THE
American Cousin" E. H. Sothern was
Lord Dundreary-t original one-and
an actor named Joseph Jefferson was
Asa Trenchard. Laura Keene herself
took the leading woman part in her
plays, and thus in this first run of
1.-THE American Cousin" appeared
nightly three of the most famous theat-
ricaI stars ever seen in the United
States-Joe Jefferson, E. H. Sothern
and Laura Keene
In 1850 Miss Keene took the road
with travelling company and, at once
star and manager. for ten years she
conducted this enterprise successfully.
She died in 1873 still busy in the stage
world.
There too. was Mrs John Drew, one
of the ablest of old time American the
atrical managers. In 1851 Mrs. Drew
assumed sole management of the Arch
Street theater. Philadelphia, and con-
tinued at the head of it until a few
years before her death, in 1897. Under
her direction it became one of the best
known and most successful theaters in
America. An atmosphere of refinement
and morality for which the old play

PANAMi'S FEAR
IS CROUNDLESS
Merchants Are Apprehensive
That Establishment of New
Port VIII Be Detrimental
MOTIVE misunderstood
Assurances Are Given That
Uncle Sam Intends to Az
range Satisfactory System
MOTIVE misunderstood

WASHINGTON, July 14.-It is ex-
planned here that the excitement
among the business men of Panama
over the recent establishment Of ports
Of entry at Ancon and Cristobal, in the
canal zone, is based on misunder-
standing Of the intention OF the Canal
Commission. The French company, in
constructing the canal, dredged a
deep-water channel to the mouth OF
the Rio Grande River and erected
wharves at La Boca. This channel was
deep enough to enable a-going craft
to discharge their cargoes at the La
Boca wharVes. The waters of the har-
Dor adjacent to the city of Panama are
shallow, and it is necessary to lighter
goods which are landed at the wharf
in the city of Panama.
The merchants of Panama, it is be-
lieved here, think the establishment OF
the port OF Ancon, which is the new
name given by the commission to La
Boca, will prevent the continued use
of the channel and the wharves at La
Boca for the landing Of goods intended
for the city of Panama. These diff
culties can be avoided by an amicable
arrangement in respect to transporta-
ton of goods landed at La Boca for
Panama under bond.
The best anchorage for vessels in
tended TO discharge goods to Panama
is in the vicinity of the islands ceded
to the United States by the canal zone
treaty, and the merchants at Panama
possibly fear that they will be deprived
of the privilege of utilizing such
anchorage, or. If their vessels are per-
mitted to anchor in these waters. that
harbor fees, wharfage, etc, will be
charged. These, however, are matters
Of detail susceptible to adjustment
on terms expected to prove satisfactory
to all parties.
