THE THEATER.
National Theater.

1.-THE Vanderbilt Cup is a typical auto
mobile comedy. 1t starts with rush and
clatter and never allows the auditor to
pause long enough to inspect the works
or view the scenery. On the rise Of the
curtain the characters begin talking as
fast as the organs of human speech will
permit. and the constant flow of qup and
song is not interrupted until the curtain
finally drops with an unexpected bump and
the orchestra strikes up the exit march
as signal that destination has been
reached and the evenings tour through
Nonsense land is at an end.
One of the chief pleasures afforded by
THE Vanderbilt Cup is the privilege of
seeing Little Elsie growing up into the
more artistic maturity of Miss Janis.
The theater-going public must always have
some feminine divinity to worship; and
this season Miss Janis is it. The admira-
ton bestowed upon a pretty. petite, viva
cious girl defies analysis. 1t is a matter
of common impulse and not of reason. 1t
is enough to know that the little lady has
her public at her feet in blind devotion.
1t is, of course. in her mimicry that Miss
Janis .excels: in this she is unsurpassed.
There is no doubt to the stability of
her pre-eminence in this piece. She is
escorted by regiment of comedians whose
loyal and courageous endeavors would
easily suffice to defend a position far less
secure. Otis Harlan bubbles, splutters and
pIduceS ABOUT tne stage. the very lncarna-
ton of breezy hilarity; Charles Dow Clark
portrays rural type that is comic with
out being hackneyed. Henry V. Donnelly,
portly, yet not ponderous. contributes a
touch of legitimate comedy as well
sprinkle of song and dance; Jacques Kruger
introduces an audacious caricature of John
d. Rockefeller. and F. Newton Lindo is
INDUCED in rather irreverent impersona-
ton of his religiously inclined son, and
Hal De Forrest represents the explosive
Frenchman. without whom no musical COM
edy is complete. There are clever women
, in the company, too. Miss Blanche Chap
man being melodously at home in the more
responsible musical numbers. and Ella Hat
ton proving robustly comic as the girl por-
ter in womans hotel. And besides these
there is moving picture display "a quartet
that utters dulcet strains in the MOON
light and the usual list of Gracies, Daisys,
Leonas, Eloises, etc, to make up a stage
full of femininity. One of the minor roles,
that of a grotesque spinster, stands forth
with such humorous d'stinctness that 1t
should be more clearly identified than it
is on the program. THE Vanderbilt Cup
has no lofty aims definite purposes.
1t will suggest no higher philosophers nor
incite any race riots. But the chances are
that any one who sees it VIII find some
thing and perhaps many things in it's
multttudinous array of stage devices old
and new to compel many a passing smile.

Loss in the Isle of Pines.

HAVANA. October 23.-Contrary to the
statements contained in the report received
by the government, it now apears that the
Isle of Pines suffered considerable damage
from the cyclone. Many houses at Nueva
Corona and Santa Fe and i'm the interview
ing country were blown down, much dam
age was done to the fruit crops, and the
wireless station was wrecked. The steamer
Cristobal Colon, a small coasting steamer
plying between the Isle of Pines and the
mainland, which made the passage during
the storm, reached her destination without
any loss of life. The garrison of American
marines rendered valuable service at the
height Of the cyclone in saving lives and
property at Nueva Corona.

NEW ZEALAND LETTERS.
They Will Be Delivered in This Coun
try for a Two-cent Rate.


Postmaster General Cortelyou has issued
an order to the effect that on and after
November /, proximo, letters originating
in New Zealand and prepaid by postage
stamps at the rate of 1 penny, or cents,
for each half ounce, will be delivered to
addresses in the United States without
surcharge or the collection of additional
postage The postmaster general of New
leland, who is now prime minister, was a
delegate to the universal postal convention
at Rome, and on his return from the con-
vention called upon the Postmaster Cen
eral and at that interview, well as in
recent correspondence, strongly urged this
concession in the interest of the people
Of New Zealand who desire to trade with
the United States. and who find them
selves, at present, in the position of hav-
ing to pay cents letter postage on cor
respondence delivered in the United States,
while correspondence carried in the same
vessel and transported across the territory
of the United States for delivery In Can
ada and Great Britain is carried at the
rate of l penny, or cents, per each half
ounce. Since penny postage was estab-
lished between Great Britain and her col
onies, some years ago, the question of 2
cent postage between the United States and
Great Britain has been advocated by people
on both sides of the Atlantic, but as yet
no official action has been taken by either
country. A substantial reduction authorized
by the recent congress of Rome, effective
October 1, 1907 provides that postage on
letters originating in countries which nave
not the metric system shall be cents Tor
the first ounce and 8 cents for each addi-
tional ounce. This will be at the rate OF
2 cents per half. ounce on letter packets
weighing as much as two ounces.
The effect Of the recent order will no
doubt be to bring the peopleSof New yea
land into closer business relations with the
merchants and manufacturers Of the United
States.

DISCRIMINATION IS CHARGED.
Western Railways, It is Alleged, Favor
the Oil Trust.

Complaints of discrimination in favor of
the Standard Oil Company have been filed
with the interstate commerce commission
by the Merchants and Shippers Associa-
ton of Denver. The complaint alleges that
the Denver and Rio Grande Colorado Mid
land, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and
Northwestern, Colorado and Southern, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Union Pacific railways
have been subjecting the merchants, deal
ers and shippers of Leadville, Glenwood
Springs and Grand Junction, In Colorado,
and intermediate points, to the payment of
unjust and unreasonable rates. In many
cases the rates constitute greater compen-
sation in the aggregate for the transporta-
ton of different commodities under sub
stantially similar circumstances and condi-
tons for the shorter distance to the Col
orado points mentioned than for the longer
haul over the same lines and in the same
direction to points in Utah, such as Ogden
and Salt Lake City, as far as Spanish
Fork.
The Standard Oil Company alleges no
such higher rates for the short haul are
made in it's case, the rate from Chicago to
Leadville for its products being the same as
from Chicago to Ogden.
"These commodities" says the petition, In
referring to oil and oil products, las your
petitioner is informed are absolutely con-
trolled and monopoliZed. both at wholesale
and retail, by a corporation known as the
Standard Oil Company and its subsidiary
corporations. That the said company by
reason of its great power and influence has
been able to exact concessions from the de-
PENDANT railroads, and in no case is a charge
made for the transportation of oil. petro-
leum and Oil products greater for the short
than for the long haul. In many instances
lower charge is made for the transporta-
ton of their products for the short than
for the long haul"
Relief against the discrimination and un-
just rates Is asked. but none from the
charge of higher rate for the short than
for the long haul, as the new rate law does
not add anything to the old law in that
respect.

at the Academy this week. and at the per-
Torrance last night much enthusiasm was
displayed by large audience. The play
Is slightly above the usual run OF melo-
dramas, and Mr.. Davis has put together an
interesting plot which deals with girl of
the slums who Is rescued from her sur
roundings and given home with min
lister. 1t Is the latter's desire to place the
girl on an equality with himself. With the
minister's aid and good surroundings the
girl easily comes up to the minister's ex-
pectations. Before the play has been on
its way long the two find themselves in
love.
The villain of the play appears in the
guise Of the guardian Of blind girl who
is heiress to a large fortune. race for
life between an automobile and a trolley
car provides the most exciting scene.

SPEAKERS WERE EARNEST.
Property Owners Object to Establish
ment of Garage.

Declaring that they objected to the toot-
ing of horns and the putting of engines at
all hours Of the day and night, and to the
Odor of gasoline, more than a score of res
idents and property owners, at a hearing
before the District Commissioners today
protested against the issuance of a permit
for the erection of public garage in an
alley between 18th and 10th streets and Bel
mont avenue and Columbia road. AS is re-
quired by the law the protestants are res
idents and owners of property within 200
feet of the site of the proposed garage and
they claim that the necessary signatures of
IS per cent of residents and prop
erty owners within 200 feet have not been
procured, and that the Commissioners,
therefore, should not issue the permit.
Mrs. NJ. S. Van Fussen is the applicant
for the permit 1t was testified that She
owns garage adjoining the site of the
proposed establishment 1t was brought
out at the hearing that the reason the pres
ent garage was granted a permit was that
it was issued with the understanding that
the garage was to be a private one, the
consent Of property owners under such in
stances not being necessary. 1t was as
serted that the establishment has been used
as public garage.
Several of the protestants, aside from
complaining about the alleged nuisance of
a garage, declared that the erection of such
a building and It's operation In a residential
neghborhood would result in depreciation
of the value of the property and would
mean a financial loss to the property own
ers interested.
Gov. William P. Kellogg, the owner of the
property upon which 1t is proposed to erect
the garage and of considerable other prop
erty in the vicinity, and who favored the is
suance of the permit, scoffed the idea that
property would be deprecated by the es-
tablishing of the garage
He expressed the opinion that the cree
ton of a garage in that neighborhood
would be an accommodation to the many
owners of automobiles living within radius
of a mile. He stated that it was almost a
public necessity and that the Commissioners
should not stand in the way of the onward
march of public progress" even though the
regulations do require the consent of a GER
tain majority of the property owners within
200 feet.
Some of the speakers were so earnest that
deemed it proper to interrupt and inform
them that the various arguments about the
garage being nuisance and whether or
not property in the neighborhood would be
deprecated were unnecessary, as the whole
matter rested upon the question of law and
would be settled accordingly by the Com
missioners.
The hearing was concluded by Commits
sioner West saying that the Commissioners
would consider the papers in the case and
would dispose of the matter according to the
provisions of the regulations governing the
erection of automobile garages
Among those who spoke for the pro-
| testants were Messrs. Stuart Mcnamara,
E. c. Brandenburg, Charles A. Merrilatt
and Capt Tyler.
