Lost in New York Presented to a Large Audi
ence at the Opera House.
The audience which assembled at the
opera house last night to witness the pre-
sentation of Lost in New York, was
enough TO make glad the heart of
any manager, and no doubt
the manager of the company believes
that Fort Worth people know good play
when it comes. The house was packed
from orchestra TO gallery and when the
curtain had fallen on the last act there
was not q man, woman or child
in the house who was not
walking advertisement for
Lost in New York. The praise bestowed
was all deserved. The company is an
excellent one;in fact there was not stick
in the entire east The scenic effects
were splendid, pronounced to be the
best on the Fort Worth stage
this season. The play is
comedy drama in five
acts which runs smoothly and in which
the characters come naturally and are
made the most of by the intelligent per-
formers. Capt. Luigi Sorcho, the Hero
of the Nile, performed some wonderful
feats while in the river of real water and
was heartily applauded
The people were so well pleased that

1t will be seen from the above figures
that the South and Southwestern states
lead all other sections for the periods
mentioned.
The fact is, railroad building in the
South has barely begun. That this is
true has been clearly illustrated in this
immediate section in the past few years.
The South Is rich in all the varied re-
sources that will make it as wealthy and
populous as any other section of the
Union; and the time is not far distant
when, for instance, the state of Alabama
will be as perfect a network of railroads
as covers the territory of Pennsylvania
or Illinois

To the Gazette,
There is now considerable talk about
the new railroad from the extensive coal
fields in Erath county 10 Stephenville,
and on to Morgan. Prominent men are
taking an interest in the mat
ter, and no doubt something
tangible win be the result. Sew
eral prominent men connected with
Texas railroads think that line from the
coal mines 10 Morgan, where it would
connect with the Santa Fe and Central
would be one of the best short lines in the
state. An immense amount of coal viii

Rapid Increase of Railroads.


The railroad satisticians give some very
encouraging reports of the activity in
railroad building in the past year-con-
sidering the fact that it was year of
financial depression throughout the
country.
During the year just past 1920 miles of
road were added TO the railroad system of
the United States, which has increased
in the past decade from 81 ,7G7 to l57 1852
miles-an increase of 70 ,265 miles, or
over 80 per cent in ten years.
AS to the distribution of mileage, with
reference to the geographical grouping of
states, take the period between 1879 and
1888, and 1883 to 1888, inclusive, and we
have result as follows for the ten years:

up around her waist, exposing her
white petticoat from waist almost to
