Tllelnl0,

In commenting upon the perform
ance of Miss Carolyne Mclean, the
beautiful and talented American act
ress. as Thelma, in her elaborate
scenic production of Marie Corellis
powerful romance, the Louisville
Courier-Journal has the following to
offer: Her Interpretation showed ex-
IRENE care in the reading of her lines,
and she has not forgotten the in
fusion of that buoyant, roguish note
which her auditors like. The delicacy
of it all. the filling in of those silent
and subtle moments which are left
to the invention of the actress, when
words are gone and all is made,
or unmade-by the subtle delicacy of
the action, denoted Miss Mclean to
be real artist-one who has virtual
ly grown and is absorbed in the part"
"Thelma" will be presented at the
Metropolitan theatre on Thursday
evening.

THE SEVEN RAILWAY KINGS.

OF railway presidents In the Unit
ed States there are many score. Of
railway kings there are but seven.
The president is the executive chief
Of a single line. The king is the
financial ruler of system of afili-
ated lines. He may not be even an
officer Of any one line and yet be
the king of the system. J. Pierpont
Morgan, for instance, does not hold
any important railroad Office, yet
he is the monarch over one-ffth Of
the mileage of the United States.
Ex-Judge William II. Moore, the
king of the Rock Island system, is
only director of the road. Ability
to run railroad is one thing. Abil-
ity to finance a railroad or a system
of railroads is another thing.
The seven kings in the order OF
their Importance are; J. Pierpont
Morgan, Edward II. Hartman, VIII
liam K. Vanderbilt, Henry c. Friek,
James J. Hill, George ]. Gould and
William Il. Moore. Their domain
comprises more than $4,000 miles
of railroad track with earnings of
$1,776,OOO,OOO a year. Outside of
their seven dominions are to be
found but rs per cent Of the total
mileage of the country and but Is
per cent of the railroad earnings.
This nation of forty-fve sovereign
states seems to be entering into a
struggle with these seven kings and
their army of officers and en-
ployees.-Current Literature.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1907-12-07

This evening at eight O'Clock,
the meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing a military company viii
be held at the federal court room.
Considerable interest has been dis
played in the move. and it is be-
lieved that there will be no diff
Guilty in organizing a company.
One of the prime movers in the
matter is George J. Head of this
city. Mr.. Head has had consider
able experience as a member of the
National Guard, having been for
four years in the service, and has
attended a number of encampments,
and being now at the head of the
National Guard hospital corps SER
vice in Texas as senior steward.
He is very enthusiastic over the
project, and feels sure that it will
be a success.
Seven cars of homeseekers were
set out at various points along the
Brownsville road yesterday, but
only a small number of the excur-
sionists came TO Brownsville. the
two regular passenger coaches ar
irving last night beixg well filed.
The cars that were set out were as
follows: Luther and Raymondville
at Raymondville, with As passen-
gers; Isabel, Kalamo and Texas,
with 81 passengers, at RoBstown
for Corpus Christi; Tourist car
1904 and Land, with 81 passengers
at FL Nation. Probably FIVE or seven
of these cars will arrive in Browns
vile tonight.
Eggs have come down somewhat
in price, since housekeepers have
found that they can have them

other places at considerably less at

ing in the local market lately, even

them.

ImperishabIe Paper.

The book on extinct birds which
Messrs. Hutchinson are about to
issue has cost its author, the Hon.
Walter Rothschild, N. P, some
thing like 100000 to produce.
For Messrs. Hutchinson also the
production has been an expensive
business. Among the illustrations
will be forty-fEe colored plates, and
the blocks alone have cost more
than 1000. Mr.. Rothschild, it was
said, had stipulated that his book
should be turned out in imperisha-
bic form. Messrs. Hutchinson,
therefore, have for some years past
been experimenting with paper, ink
and machinery entirely on account
of the work and have now obtained
a paper so pure that it viii take
the color printing without any coat
ing whatever and give a perfect re-
suit. But the cost of this imper-
ishable paper is no less than IS
pence a pound. The price of the
work viii be 925.-St. James Ga

A military company will be a
very appropriate thing for Browns
vile, which, as a frontier town,
should have some sort of provision
for defense, just for the looks of
the thing, if for no other reason.
1t is hardly likely that there will
be any actual need of any such
protection, but a good military
company viii reflect credit upon
the town. and win also give our
young men something interesting
to occupy them. Hence the move
to organize a company here should
be encouraged.
