company Of young players, under
the direction Of, and supporting
Lawrence McCarty the player and
dramatic coach. 1t was the grand
est and most beautiful production
ever witnessed in this city. 1t
was a success from every stand
point.
The largest and most fashiona-
ble audience ever assembled in
Tucumcari witnessed the play last
night.
The play is not only familiar to
the student of ancient history, but
to all lovers of the classic and ar
tistic of literature and drama; for
years and years, the sweet song of
ancient Greece, the lovers Of liter
ary and artistic excellence the
sweet song Of modern Europe and
Republican America. From the
story Of Damon and Pythias, the
Knights OF Pythias was founded.
The leading role OF the play was
in the hands of Lawrence McCar-
ty, known better in the profession
as the Nonpareil Dramatic Coach,
and in the Pvthian world, the apos-
tie of Pythians. The part of Da-
mon, by McCarty, is the result Of
lifetime on the stage and an in
nate love Of the work to which he
is devoting his life and study. He
is the finished professional, and
professionals in this day and age
get little enough praise and appre-
citation of their work but last

combat with Pythias in the first
act, and also showed a natural vein
of humor, which pervaded his en-
tire make up in the drunken scene.
The part of Lucullus fell in the
very able hands OF Jack Pillow,
who was a hit, it appeared, with
the audience. Pillow is held in
high regard by the young people
of Tucumcari, and more especially
by his contemporaries in the cast.
His scene in the fourth act deserves
special mention.
Miss Bessie Moore, one of Tu-
cumcaris favorite girls, in the part
of Calanthe, was dream of origi-
nality. Her simplicity and natural
ness was marked in every move
ment. She was the ideal Greek
society girl of that period. Her
versitality would commend her to
the drama, >" said McCarty in speak
ing of her work in the prepara-
ton of the play. The change
from the simple Syracuse firt
to the queenly, dignihe Fl e d,
wronged lover was piece of acting
which showed a natural talent, and
careful study of the part. The emo
tional scene in the fifth act, must be
considered remarkable for debu-
tante, as emotional acting is the
highest in art.
Mrs. Elsie McCarty as Hermione
deserves great praise, and won the
ap probation of the audience. Her

night the appreciation OF the aud
ience gave the actor the sweetest
and most valued praise which may
be his. From McCarty's revision
of the play of Damon and Pythias
by John Bannon, we find it chang
ed from the play to military drama.
1t was interspersed with exciting
Incidents, broad sword combats
and thrilling climaxes.
The part of Pythias was played
by Gus Warren, of Alamogordo,
McCartv's former Pythias, who
was considered by McCarty, and
also by the people who saw him in
the part last night, to be polished
gentleman and finished actor. He
made his first appearance on the
stage with Lawrence McCarty when
the play was put on at Alamogordo,
his home, and on last night was
one Of the leading lights of the cast.
His scene with Calanthe was very
realistic.
Judge Patterson, as Dionysius,
the tyrant, in his first appearance,
was the personihcation of the wilev

of the Southern Cotton Association
among other things said: ''Why is it
that the South shows IA per cent
more ignorance and 38 per cent more
poverty than other sections Of the

way the price of cotton has been
slaughtered. The ignorant negro and
poor white farmer has had to go up

st. Louis, Mo.-Texas cattle sold
at the National Stock Yards in East
st. Louis at the highest figure reached
in any market since 1902. Live stock
dealers say last October and Novem-
Der cattle feeders found themselves
unable to borrow funds to purchase
feeders. The result has been that
fewer cattle have been fed during the
past winter than for years.
The top price paid in the cattle
market at East st Louis the past week
was for twenty head of native steers
from Mexico, Mo-, which sold for
Sis. They were fair in flesh and
quality.
Commission men say the ST. Louis
cattle receipts are $4,000 short since
Jan. l, as compared with last year.
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Joseph and
other Western markets also show a
big shortage. Chicago has just about
the same receipts as last year, but is
beginning to feel the shortage, which
cattlemen claim is the cause of the
recent big increase in the price Of
meat, both retail and wholesale. The
farmer or ranchman who has cattle
ready to market will reap a rich re-
ward for the next few months, ac-
cording to those who claim to know.
These men say there will be but little
if any decrease in prices until the Ok
lahoma CRASHED cattle began to come
along in the early summer.

number of other passengers including
several ladies. Mr.. Helm says he re-
monstrated with Lumby and asked
him to stop drinking, saying:
"Don't take that drink, there are
ladies here and it is not right. 1t is
against the law for you to do this
thing in street car and / hope you

and when the negro applied several
vile epethets and made move as if
to draw a gun, the Congressman drew
