NEW HAVEN.
.Texas" Well Received by a Large
 Audience Last Night.

Texas" pleases a crowded house. In spite of the rainy weather a very large audience saw the first performance of Texas" last night at the New Haven theater. From the rise to the drop of the curtain there was something doing. The play is by no means one of the ordinary melodramas, on the contrary 1t is a very cleverly drawn picture of western life as it really is.
 The scene is laid in Texas, at the ranch of Col. West. Everything is in harmony. the typical ranch house, hos pitable ranchers wife and the cowboys in their rough and ready attire. The action throughout is quick and intense- ly interesting. There Is not one mo- ment which does not add a new attrac- ton to the already captivating play.
 The plays very prettlly develops two love affairs, that of Col. Vests daugh- ter and Freshwater Jack a cowboy be- ing of greatest interest to the audience. Jack is brave and fearless young man and his attempt to win and cap ture Col. West's daughter furnishes a romantic element of great cleverness. In contrast with thls there is the woo- 1 ing of Widow Peppercorn by Tank another cowboy. Right here is where d good deal of the comedy comes in' Tank is sort of bashful and has more or less difficulty in landing the widow He wins out however, after great many amusing incidents.
 It would be unfair to give special mention 10 any of the cast because ev- cry person was fine. II Is seldom that i such strong. all around company k seen. However we can not fail to fee that William Bonnelli as Jack" ant Miss Gamitier as Texas along wltl i Monica Lee, as the widow and Harry i Collins as Tank are alone worth going
 to see.
 If you wish to get a true picture O western ranch life and the cowboy fashion of wooing sweetheart don fail to see Texas" which will be pre- sented again tonight and Wednes
 day evenings with matinee Wednes day afternoon. you will enjoy severa
 good laughs and see some exceedlngl! good acting.

 1 Place--New York. Time-1S91-9S. The initial productions of Hadden Chambers play "A Modern Magdalen' at the Bijou yesterday, made those who witnessed them congratulate themselves anew that there is in their midst a stock company with the abil- fly throughout to produce such plays so successfully. The play is very strong one, and the story appeals to the heart as strongly perhaps as any thing that has been seen at the Bijou thiv season. Miss Shipman in very difficult role, which called for an un- usual amount of contrast in itself was done with an extreme nicety. Her mental suffering was, at all times evi- dent, and to the minds of many she did the best work of her present sea- son. MT.

Miss Cro- Illus, and Miss Rathburn as the step- mother and sister MT. Kennedy as a reformer. and Mir.

MT An derson, the money-lender, also had a role which had to be handled in a most artistic manner. and it was well attended to. As to the costuming and stage settings Mir. McGill has again displayed his masterhand, and they are all that could be desired. The entire force of the stock company Is called for in the cast, and there are several extra people beside.

The Question a InaLTuetion.

"By far the majority Of republican
sentiment of Vermont ps expressed in
| the town caucuses of Saturday night
WIS for sending uniustructed delegates
10 the national convention ut Chicago
although few towns commissioned their
local delegations To work for either
1 il Hughes OF a Taft delegation from Yer
mont. Many towns took no action "a
to instructions, indicating that their de-
sire was for ain uninstructed State vote
in the big fight TO come in Chicago
Barre Times.
II seems hardly right to consider that
because the issue was not drawn in the
caucnses this lack of action should be
taken to indicate an expression against
obstruction, which ii Was not. In fact
the very neglect to bring UP the issue
OF presidential preference IN most of the
caucuses makes it all the more probable
thar the convention will be- a Represented
tive body and all the better qualified to
declare d preference.
Though most of the newspapers and
many OF the politicians are on record
as opposed even to resolution Of pre-
ference, any delegates in the convention
has perfect and unquestioned right 70
offer resolution on the floor. This Is
exactly what happened in the New
Hampshire convention Tuesday, where
the leaders OF both factions we're agreed
against a resolution but were unable tn
control one delegate who insisted on Off
fering resolution which both sides
united in voting down.
Whether the leaders can control the
rank and tJe in this state as they did
in New Hampshire ii to be doubted az
New Hampshire il hoss-riddens While
Vermont is not. Here the voters are
in the habit Of thinking for themselves
and delegates usually vote as they

to see what will happen if some dele

one enthusiastic Hughes man not a
thousand miles from Bennington insists
that he Will, regardless Of the desires
