THE KAMELESS PLAY
is A TIP TOP PIECE

Il Is 60 be hoped that Lawrence
Russelrs unnamed play produced
nj the Third Avenue theatcr last
nigAl Will be given as happy a title
as lis rich rurallty deserves. II Is
an excellent sketch Of that type OF
bucoli, life which is 10 be found In
the sage brush districts Of the Mid
die states. and there is a good,
wholesome plot developed naturally
through It's four acts that keeps the
story In swing. which, while leaving
entirely Incidental the splendid bits
OF character work done by the MEM
bcrs OF the company, surrounds
them with most effective atmos-
phere.
The play opens With a barn
warming. and some excellent dia-
logue over a hack-fcuce. TO intro
duce the purpose OF the play. Jim
Daniels. candidate for Congress,
is shown 90 be Of the square aud
honest type. ambitious for the good
of his country, and the maohina-
tons OF his crooked political enem-
les bring about the troubles which
are cleared up In the last two acts.
Chief among his enemies is Howard
Williams. a railway promoter. who
seeks 20 have Daniels opponent
elected In the interests OF railway.
Hank Stewart. a willy bAekwoods
politician, assists Williams. and the
two set fire to the new barn. throw
suspicion upon Daniels and gather
a band OF swhlteeappers" together

aud assists the lugkless schooner
back 60 sobrioty and honesty. The
curtain falls upon a climax Of sim
plieity and naturalness that could
not be improved upon. The play
itself ranks high among the pas
toral class, aud It's production by
MIR. Rusae.l's company last night
leaves little to be desired.
Lawrence Russell In the leading
role gives a most natural interpre-
tatlun OF haekwooda Congressman

do the part. az most actors of pas
toral roles are inclined 60 do. and
introduces none Of the needless vul-
garitiea and exaggeratious that
usually detract from the pleasing
character OF the rural drama.
The drawing Of the character OF
Howard Williams is one of tho
best portions OF the play. Ills role
as villain is tempered by natural
remnant Of deccncy. when Hhamed

Emma Marie Davis as Alice Thatch-
er deserves a vote OF thanks for
not OVERRIDING a part that Is almost
Invariably overdoue. Her interpre-
tation OF the emotional moments
was entirely natural and the few
touches OF the dramatic were
handled eapahly. Perhaps the larg-
est boquet OF all should go To Dave

teorically upon the stage. but made

Texas Leads in Railroads

From the Worlds Work.
1t is southwestward that the star of
empire takes its way; for Texas has
this year passed Missouri in population
and there are now only four states that
contain more peoble-New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio. In
area, Texas is nearly a third larger
than all four Of them. AT the presens
rates of increase Of population. Texas
will pass Ohio before 1929, Illinois be-
fore 1880, Pennsylvania by 194g, and
New York by 1850, and become the
most popnlous state ia the Union. Ii
1t we're as d%ensely settled as New York
now is, 1t would contain j, 900. 900
souls; and, whom 1t bebomes as densely
populated as England or Germany is
it will contain 90, 900, 900. BY the act
OF Congress admitting it into the Union,
the state may be divided into as many
as five states whenever the peoble de.
sire the division; but division has new
er been seriously proposed.
Since 1860, Illinois has had more
miles of railroad than any other state
til this fall, but, on September 1st,
Texas exceeded 1t, having now 1877
miles OF main track. The exports
from Galveston are now greater than
the exports from philadelphia, Balti-
more or Boston. Only New York and
New Orleans make larger outbound
shipments, and Galveston will exceed
New Orleans in a very short time, aud
become the second exporting city In
America. Texas produces about one
third of our whole cotton crop. More
wheat is shipped thence than from
both New York and New Orleans.
Galveston IS nearer the trans-Mlss-
isslppi wheat fields than any Atlantic
port; and the Panama canal will bring
it very much nearer than 1t now is 10
the Pacific ports both OF North aud
South America.
