SOME CAPITAL THINGS
AT KEITH'S THEATRE

Nellie Florede the dainty little London
music hall favorite, who heads the six
English Rockers at Keith's this week, Is
as bewitching a maiden as has graced the
stage in many a day. Not only Is she
very attractive personally, but she has an
excellent singing voice, and she has the
grace and finish that characterizes Eng
lish entertainers. Especially is this finish
shown in the I'm Regular College
chap" song which she does. She wears
her boys costume with smartness and
style and sings the catchy song very
fetchingly. This song, by the bye Is bound
to be hummed and whistled about town n
good deal before the week is over, for 1t
has snap and tunefulness that appeals
TO everyone, and many Brown boys are
TO he noticed I'm the performance at
Keith's every afternoon and evening.
Speaking of songs, there never was a
song that got as many encores in this city
as does Il Lost Another Chance TO Be a
Hero" the overwhelmingly funny song
that Frank Byron, Of Byron & Langdon,
sings al Keith's this week IL Is a ridicu-
lousy funny song, and the way Mr. Byron
sings It, as the effeminate sleuth. is
enough TO make ,She cigar-store Indian
laugh until his Sides ache. Ever since
Mr.. Byron first sang this song he has
kept adding verses, but the demand for
more verses grows 50 great that he is
still writing new ones. Monday he sang
a. dozen verses for this song, and would
be there yet, IL the audience had had
its way. A funny thing happened Mon
day afternoon that almost made Mr. By
ron lose his composure Every time he
comes to the chorus, when he reaches
the words But found a way" he claps
his hands together In an indescribably
funny way. The audience WIS so tckled
that one man, about the fourth verse,
clapped his hands together. The next
verse a couple OF people clapped. at the
right point and soon there was couple
of dozen people clapping. il was all Mr..
Byron could do to refrain from laughing,
but he fooled them, for one verse, when
there were a number OF people ready 10
clap, ne made a movement as II 10 bring
his hands together but missed them, at
which just the clappers In the audience
were heard. and the rest OF the audience
shouted with glee

HAL CHASE STILL
WITH OUTLAWS

San Joss. Cal. Nov. 2o-Hai Chase
played Saturday and Sunday with the
San Jose team of the so-called "Outlaw
League" despite the published statement
quoting him as saying that he would
abide by the ruling OF the national COM
mission.
Chase pitched for San Jose and won his
game, thereby getting much praise from
the local San Jose papers. Again, Sun
day, Chase covered the position of short
stop and was the star OF the game. He
played under the name of Shultz I'm both
games, although the newspaper accounts
were free TO give the credit TO Chase.
There has been considerable comment
among the fans on Chases action I'm hid
ing behind an assumed name while giving
out interviews that he had decided 20
obey the commands OF the national COM
mission. He has already signed con-
tract to play next season with Clark
Griffith.
Other players returning from the East
nave played with the State, or so-called
Outlaw league without any pretense OF
covering up the fact, even sir\e the pub
lication OF the national commissions de-
cree Now Chase is being compared In
the Josh" columns OF local papers with
the ostrich that dipped his bill In the
sands OF Sahara.

his time playing on the rush line.
Tibbitts at goal gave a fine exhibition

game devoid OF features Bridgeport cas-
ily defeated New Haven here last night

The only foul called during the game

ONE OF THE CAHSES.

One of the causes for thanksgiving yesterday was that this country was able to get gold from Europe when 1t was badly needed Up to date $94,250.O00 has been engaged, and $59,SS60OO has arrived here fY
 Ninety-four millions of real money Is a lot, and as 1t goes from one hand to another it will square up many debts and greatly relieve the situation. What money will do was well illustrat- ed by the minstrel semi-circle, an end man of which announced to the next man that he was prepared to pay him what he owed him. He handed him fifty cents, which was handed by it's recipient to the next man and SO on around until it came back into the hand of the first man who started it. Thus was everybody paid and the orig inal payer had his money back This is the way our new gold will, or should go around When it has done its work here some of it may take a trip back to Europe to help debtors and creditors there. Gold is as useful as it is handsome in times like these.

BRACE UP, o1D BOYS,

Andrew Carnegie, whose opinion is entitled to the respect always due the opinion of solid man of solid wealth, says that a man at seventy can ac- complish more than he can at forty. And Edward Payson Weston, who in his seventieth year has just accom- plished what he did when he was thir- ty in walking from Portland (Maine) to Chicago, says and proves that age hasn't put him out of commission.
 The opinion of MT. Carnegie and the opinion and action of MT. Weston are both encouraging to some of the older men who feel that their gray hair and their wrinkles are not true indications of the spirit that still moves and works In them There are men of seventy who are more useful than they ever were, and there arc men of seventy who are of no use. The rule should be that a man should not be discriminated against on account of his years or dis crininate against himself on account of them unlees they have so dealt with him as to impair his vigor and use fulness. The rule which Dr. Osler didn't make that a man should be chloroforned at forty is not sensible or desirable.

YALE'S LATEST ENTERPRTSE.

There can be no question of the spirit which moved the authorities of Yale University to open the doors of its im- mense dining hall yesterday to the public, which it served with an excel lent dinner at a moderate price. It desired to again show it's interest in the life of the city and to contribute in every conceivable way to it's con- veniences.
 It has been suggested that in fact the opening of the dining hall was an un- generously conceived attempt to come into competition with the many excel lent restaurants of the city. This view cannot be held to for a moment, nor could the view be justified that by adding to the facilities of dining ir New Haven Yale has injured some one in that business. It is at best an oc- casional venture and is not undertaken in a desire to make money. If it has accomplished anything it has increased the public appetite for a festive mea away from home, which upon such oc- casions means much to the tired house. keeper.
 Aside from these more or less self. ish phases of the venture, it is vel that Yale shows in every possible way its interest in New Haven. If i means anything 1t means that Yale hat but just begun to enter even more full. 1 ly into the life of the city as a re sponsibIe citizen in part obligated t aid in the burden of it's maintenance Yale. has no intention of being bur den upon New Haven and can be de pended upon to read clearly it's unwrit ten duty in every particular.

the world the advantages of 1t grows with the greater emphasis being plac- ed upon wealth as trust and its own CT as g trustee. The forces of educa- tion are keener than ever in their de- termination to do more than dispense book knowledge; to make their great endeavor felt in the application of disciplined mind to pressing problems. Even the recent financial stringency, which has yet to run its course, pre- sents means of returning thanks be- yond the reason that 1t might have been worse; it has brought us as a people face to face with the inevitable consequences of absolute folly in wrongly estimating human happiness and human conduct.
 It is because these are so, in spite of the depressing philosophy of the pessimist, that we have greater reasons than ever before to return thanks and to cultivate the thanksgiving spirit. We have greater reasons than we had a year ago when we were sailing along with fair winds regardless of the low ering weather which the barometers foretold. For we know more than
 we did then, even if we have less to
 show for 1t, and knowledge is the in- strument which opens the worlds oys- ter. If the spirit of thanksgiving could be, as it should be, kept alive from day to day, the little troubles which seem to loom ahead would be met and overcome easily and the cowardly dollar would leave its place of hiding.

4 PART OF THE BURDEY.

The white mans burden is a large and complicated one. A part of it in the Lake Victoria region in Uganda consists of fighting the sleeping sick ness which is devastating the land. The population of the affected area is now 100000. It used to be 3Q0000, but 2OO,- 900 have actually died of the disease. There are about 2O,00 people suffering from it to-day and it is proposed that these shall ke taken into segregation camps to undergo the Atoxyl treat ment, which consists of the admlnis- tration of a compound of arsenic and one of the benzine dyes. It has the power of driving the parasites from the circulation; 1t is hoped also to kill them by this means, but this, in pro- portion of instances, it has failed to do. The cure of the 10000 afflicted natives Is, therefore, an open question. The  problem of dealing with the remaining So,0OO healthy natives, who are to be moved inland from the shores of the lake, is not so formidable. It is only necessary, 1t appears, to move the people about two miles inland. The tsetse fly breeds within fifteen or twen- ty yards of the edge of the water, and will only follow victims for some hum dreds of yards, up to a mile or so, be- yond which limit the fiy-free area is to be found. There Is to be a complete clearance of vegetation from all the landing stages along the Victoria Ny anza, and fords, ferries, and water holes are to be similarly treated, be- cause the flies can only live where there is thick bush.
 The white men of the United States succeeded in conquering the yellow fever mosquito in Cuba, and it is prob. able that the English white men vii succeed in conquering the tsetse fly ir Nyanza.
