.45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY"

"45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY"
 The above was advertised as a musical play and that is about what it was. There was music, some good and some bad and there was the dra- ma, balanced similarly. Fay Temple ton was billed as the star in the char acter of Mary Jane Jenkins, the housemaid. Miss Templeton was al- ways somewhat buxon, but last night she appeared to be more than that, for she looked very much obese. She did not have a character in which She could shine very brilliantly, but she made the most of what was written for the character and sang her songs very catchingly. The success of the production seemed to center around one Kid Burns" portrayed by Victor Moore, and the character was very well done, in fact exceptionally acted. It was not overdone either, as might have been expected if George NJ. Co., han, the author of the play, was cast for the part. It was one of the bright bits in the production of last night. The chorus was not up to the handle, but some of the songs were musical and entertaining, particularly. Mary Is a Grand Old Name," "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway" and "So Long Mary" The audience was large and enthused well over the most of the stage work.

In Darke5t Asia,

Mir. E. L. Harris. United States con, sul at Smyrna. makes an interesting report on conditions in Asia Minor, and in regard to electricity, says: "The city of Smyrna. with nearly 400.. 900 population. has no electric railway, electric light or telephone. There are cities all over Asia Minor varying in size from 10000 to 5o.00O inhabitants where there are opportunities of get. ting concessions for electric light and traction. It is strange for American electrical concerns to turn their backs on this field. with the excuse that nothing under a s1.000.0o0 concession would attract them.

One night woke up out of a sound sleep and instantly her voice came to me. ran over the lines of the scene which had selected for study and found that had caught the peculiar infection at last. On the other hand, went to see Maud Adams over and over again, but could never quite grasp her elusive personality.

Cecilia Loftus says. although my ambition Is to be an actress instead of a copyist of others. l am proud of what success I have won In that line. | am ready to assert that 1t is really acting even If 1t Is not creating. And I honestly think it more difficult than playing character role. In the latter one presents to the audience a copy of a type. and general accuracy only is required. But when you give an imitation Of q popular actor or ac- tress. you offer the audience a copy of . particular person with whose ev- err trick of voice and gesture the majority of the people gre familiar.

DEVELOPMENT IN MEXICO
MAKING GIANT STRIDES.

Mexico City: Further details of
the organization of the Mexican Mill
ing & Transportation company, of
Guanajuato, have been received,
showing that the new organization is
planning to monopolize the entire dis
trict so far as the carrying of ores
and their milling is concerned.
The company, which is formed with
a capitalization of s2,O00,0OO pre-
ferred and s5.O0O,O0O common stock.
outlined some six important steps, as
follows:
The acquisition of the properties of
the San Prospero Mines company; the
acquisition of the property of the
Nayal Mining company; the increase
of the San Prospero Mines company's
milling plant from 100 to 800 tons
per day; the increase of the capacity
of the Nayal Milling company's plant
from so to 100 tons per day; the
building of a mill in the Santa Rosa
district In the Guanajuato mining
camp, having a capacity of 100 tons
per day, and the building of about
thirty miles of railway, connecting all
Of the mines and mills In the Guiana
juato district
The construction OF the railroad IS,
perhaps, the most interesting part OF
the new company's plans. 1t is estl-
mated that the cost of constructing
this railway, including equipment
Will be $l3,S00 per mile. making the
thirty miles, as planned, cost over
100000, Such a road has been the
dream OF many people previous To the
| present time. but IFS possibilities, as
completed whole, are now assured

ECCENTRIC HUMOREST
ADOPTS WHITE DRESS SUIT
MARK TWAIN CARRIES HIS COL
OR SCHEME INTO CLOTHES
FOR EVENING WEAR.

New York, Feb. 20.-Mark Twain
has had made for him an evening
suit of white broadcloth as immacu-
late as newly fallen snow. The but
tons are covered with the same ma
terial. When he arrays himself he
will undoubtedly wear with the suit
white enameled leather shoes. The
genial humorist has long been in re-
bellion against the somber clawham-
mer effects borrowed from the court
of France.
Mr.. Clemens has decided that his
new evening wear shall be supple
mented by a long Spanish cloak
which can be thrown over the shoul-
der. Such garments were worn by
grandees and cavaliers.
The broadcloth is of soft finish.
The suit was cut in strict accordance
with the prevailing mode. The coat
is lined throughout with white silk
and has the lapels faced with the
same material. The collar is of cloth,
for it was thought that white velvet,
which was permissible, would easily
become soiled. The coat is adorned
with three white buttons in front and
two at the back.
The waistcoat which has three
buttons, is of the same material as
the coat. Its only ornamentation is
a white zig-Zag embroidery around
the edges. The trousers have a white
silk braid down the outside seams
Mr. Clemens is not fond of a black
silk hat, and with his new white suit,
he probably will wear a gray fedora.
He also has a new light gray over
coat

bill is going to have much trouble In
the house. Members Of the house
consider the bill entirely too drastic,
and that 1t is apt to seriously injure
the railroads. For instance, the bill
prohibits free transportation to tele-
graph linemen who are often called
out to repair telegraph lines that have
been damaged by storms and cyclones
and they rarely earn money enough
TO pay railroad fares. This is espe-
cially true IL they should happen to
be at some remote station along the
line when called out TO do emergency
repair work. 1t is the opinion, toe
of prominent house members that
employees of express companies should
be permitted to have free transporta-
ton. A large number of house mem
bers, too, believe the newspapers of
the state should have the right to sell
advertising space for transportation,
and for these and other reasons the
senate bill is going to have rough sail
ing in the house.

We want an Indian republic and the

Then we will make our own laws.
THE British are oppressors of the
Indians and the taxes are terribly
high The smallest tax levied on the
native is As per cent of all the income
from their lands, and the highest is
IS per cent Think of 1t. What
would Americans think of such a tax
rate? England makes us spend $125,-

her army in our territory, and yet

maintenance of our schools, and the
