The Yankee Consul.


The Yankee Consul which comes to
the Metropolitan on Monday is in two
acts, both laid in Puerto Plata, San
Domingo, the story of The Yankee
Consul" is told. 1t hinges around the
adventures Of a typical New Yorker
who is sent away on Consular mis-
sion through the efforts of relatives
who have suffered long and silently
by reasons of his we'll developed
penchant for turning night into day.
They cause him to be sent away in
an effort to cure him of his prowling
about in the wee sma' hours of the
morning. In the San Domingo City
he falls in love with widow, we'll
supplied with the goods of this world,
and the story is woven around his love
affair, together. with the love affairs of
the Governor of the Province, an Am
erican naval officer and the daughter
and niece OF the widow with whom
the Consul" is enamoured. A minia-
ture revolution also figures in the
story and there is sufficient action
throughout the life of the opera to
more than supply laughter for the
two and one-half hours it endures.
The many song hits which are in
troduced during the action of the play
are:
"Ain't 1t Funny What a Difference
Just a Few Hours Make" In the
Olden Days." "In Old New York."
"Hola." MY San Domingo Maid,"
"The Mosquito and the Midge," when
the Hammers go Rap, Rap, Rap" I'VE
Were Taught to Walk Demurely," and

nant in 1902. fanny and Dineen in
1908. Dineen in 1904 and WaddeN in
1905. Philippe won for P'ttsburg in
1903. Mathewson for New York in
1904 and 1905, and Brown for the Cubs
the past season, and Walsh for the
White Sox. If Mathewson comes
back next year the Giants will give
the Cubs a fight, otherwise the Cubs
will win, although If Victor Willis
repeats his 1906 work Pittsburg will
be dangerous.
The old Gutenberg race track is
commonly looked upon as the train
ing ground of outclassed, second

who is located there, won last season
with five trotters and PAGERS the tidy
sum Of $13,795. Hallock M. 2:09 Ia,

races without making break, and
earning $1,000, all on half-mile tracks.

purse by the club. What a chance

committee of five from the foot
ball rules committee to pick an all
American team at end of each season,
is the suggestion of Tar" Young, Cor
nell's physical director, and one of the
football coaches. He thinks the pres
ent method of selection of large num-
bers of champion teams picked largely
because of the individual preference
OF the men making the selections,
makes position on the team an empty
honor. Mr.. King proposes to substi-
tute committee chosen from men
whose expert knowledge and oppor-
tunities for observation will compel
recognition and observation. In his
opinion they might be taken from the
present rules committee.

tall, handsome gentleman with white

street, is Chas. Commiskey, president
and owner of the worlds champion
baseball team, the White Sox. He is,

PRESIDENT ANp HARRIMAN.

THE President and his friends are convinced
a that the dispute between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Z. II Hartman, the railroad magnate is in
spired by the desire of certain financial interests
to dscrcdt the administration and to thwart its
efforts to continue the present policies. Mr..
Roosevelt has been unfortunate in becoming in
volved in wrangles with different persons, but II
must be remembered that in his struggle for the
fair and square deal he has opposed some of the
most powerful interests in the nation and the
men whose enmity he has incurred will stop at
no end to discredit him They hope to defeat the
the nomination for President of Secretary Taft
who is believed to be the choice OF the admins
tration, simply because Taft stands for the poll
cies of the President
All the stories assailing the President proceed
from the camp of those interests that have been
dissatisfied with the attitude of the President in
demanding that the laws against the corporations
as well SIS laws against individuals shall be en-
forced. The greAt interests that Mr. Roosevelt
has criticised for so many years have dominated
TO a smaller or larger extent both political parties,
and find it difficult to believe they cannot violate
the laws OF their country with impunity. Hence,
they endeavor by every means, fair or foul, to
place the President and his policies in an unfavor-
able attitude with view OF turning the people
against him.
Andsii may be interesting TO note that one Of
the New York newspapers that has been taking
a poll of the voters finds that the sentiment is
overwhelming in favor of a third term for the
President

Editorial Opinion

The Delaware State News says the
prospect for crop Of fruit on the
Peninsula in the present year cannot be
considered first rate on the FIRST day Of
April. Nature has been unusually
kind in March in warming life into the
long frozen earth. and blessing all
other vegetation but fruit buds it is
found have awakened too early. The
peach is nearly, and in some sections
quite in bloom. AMI so far as We
know the record cannot show so early
a bloom bringing up a harvest About
the middle of April Is the earliest date
for a safe bloom Of the pelch, and the
twentieth Of April IS better. However
It all depends upon the weather and
it is quite probable for fruit 20 pass
ON through April without harm. we
are only to thank the Lord for what
we have had, and stin enjoy, and do
our best TO deserve future worldly
blessings.
To the average mixed farmer who
carries a twenty-acre fruit orchard, the
failure Of fruit is not necessarily disas-
trous But TO a large and almost ex-
clusively fruit grower like Charles w
Lord. an entire fruit failure is a heavy
misfortune. Let us. however. hope
that Mr. Lord and all the rest Of us
will be on hand In August with the
stuff. ard that the buyers will clamol
for it as in the days now long ago.

increased that the Rock Island Company has
placed new train from Chicago to Denver, and
other roads are making similar extensions.
The Iowa Lawmakers also have been busy with
the railroad companies Measures have been
adopted, or will be, providing for two-cent fare,
more authority for the railroad commissioners,
and the companies will be compelled to show
cause why they are unable to furnish cars for
shippers when they are ordered.
The managers however, of the companies in
the West, are still determined to fight the new
laws. They will test their consttutionality, and
have decided to increase the tariff for shipping

REPuRLIcANs wIN cHIcAoo.

THE campaign in Chicago ended on Tuesday
i in the election which resulted in the defeat
OF Mayor Dunno and the triumph OF the Republi-
can nominee, f. A. Busse The outcome is a Sc
we're blow to the followers OF William r, Hearst,
who made strong effort TO rc-elect Mayor
Dunno The Socialistc vote was greatly de-
creased. Mayor Dunno, at his first election,
promised many things that from their very ma
ture, could not be accomplished. People who ex-
pect an instant change in municipal conditions
are sure to be disappointed. Step by step is the
better way.
Both parties in the campaign agreed that the
conditions regarding the public service corpora
tions of Chicago were intolerabe. There was a
difference in the proposed remedy. Mayor Dunno
favored immediate municipal ownership OF the
railway properties by condemnation proceedings
while the Republicans supported ordinances that
were passed by the Democratic Council of Chi
cago over the veto of Mayor Dunno. These ordi-
nances provided for twenty-year franchises for
the street car companies, the city retaining the
right to purchase the properties for fifty millions
plus the sums spent for immediate improvement
OF the system.

HOW THE rwo-cENT FARE WORKS.

IN SOME Western States where the two-cent
railroad fare has been enacted, there has al
ready been opportunity to notice how the meas
ure is working. Since the rate went into effect
in Nebraska, travel has greatly increased, and in
stead Of the service being curtaied it has resulted
in more trains being placed in operation. In Ne
braska the State contributed largely to the build
ing Of the railroad, and the cities and counties
were closely connected in financial way with
the companies. The Nebraska Legislature Gre
ated railroad commission and decided on the
two cents the mile passenger rate. Freight rates
were also lowered. Express companies charges
were reduced twenty-five per cent, and bill was
passed forcing the railroad companies to pay
taxes to the municipalities through which the
lines passed. This latter law compelled the COM
panies 10 pay taxes on fifteen millions Of property
in Omaha alone which had heretofore escaped
all taxation After the new law became operative
the trains were crowded. The Union Pacific am
lounced that it would Immediately resume its fast
