ORPHEUM THEATRE

That aggregation of all this is
representative in vaudeville will
make its long expected annual ap-
pearance in New Orleans next week.
Road show week is always a banner
event for OPPORTUNITIES. 1t matters
not that preceding bills have reached
the high water mark of excellence
the date of the road show is always
eagerly awaited. A season would
not be complete without road show,
and here it is-a picked assemblage
of acts, containing the very latest
achievements in the world of art
mirth, music and novelty.
The distinction of heading the
show this year falls to Claude Gill

There has been in all nations q
time when the minds of the people
seem to have been carried away be-
yond their natural character. Such
times have been less frequent in Swift
zerland than elsewhere. Simplicity,
frugality and moderation, the preserv-
ers Of liberty. have always been the
portion of these people. They have
never maintained armies to defend
their own frontiers, or to make en-
croachments on their neighbors. They
have no citadels, which may be turned
either against the citizens or the enc
my; nor do they groan beneath the
burden of taxes. They have neither
the calls of luxury nor the troops Of a
master to provide for. Their noun
tains are their only ramparts; and
every member Of the community Is q
soldier ready armed for the defense Of

TULANE THEATRE.

1t is in the air that The Poor Little
Rich Girl which Klaw and Erlanger
present at Tulane theatre Mardi Gras
week, is one of those rare treats all
too uncommon in the theatre. Its
record in the East for the past two
seasons shows that no matter how ii
opens it grows as quickly and hugely
in popular fancy as a rolling snowfall
which from the size of a bon bon
gathers such huge proportions that al
the boys in neighborhood can no
longer bulge it.
Certain it is that in San Francisco
and other cities where theatrical bust.
ness has been at pretty low ebb this
season the Eleanor Gates mosaic OF
fact and fancy tested the capacity OF
the theaters. Which goes TO prove
that the swapping cracking wireless
of public opinion carries its message
far and swiftly. Some extraordinary
things were written by the San Fran
cisco critics. Walter Anthony of the
Chronicle said: The Poor Little Rich
Girl is the most human thing on the
stage" Neill Wilson of the examiner
declared it was "a privilege to have
it in San Francisco" While Ed
ward F. O'Day the poet-philosopher
discusses the drama in delightful En-.

AN America Masterpiece.

old girl who is continually upon the
stage in the title role all the superla.
tives of praise have been exhausted
She simply takes everyone by storm
with her adorable personality and
the wistful appeal of her acting. This
is the third triumphant season of "The
Poor Little Rich Girl" but it has never
touched in our direction until now
1t has humor, poetry, pathos, satire
and spectacular beauty and is called
quiet different from anything seen on
the stage. From all accounts it is
a story that goes straight to the heart
of every man and woman-every par.

and classes.

THE DEBTS OF CITIES.

The Eagle has frequently stated
that no marked improvement or ad-
vance could be made in any city with
out money. Money not only talks. but
money moves things. Money in
amounts to hake Improvements cannot
be secured excep; by mourning debts
Cities not willing to 20 in debt need
not expect to advance and had Just as
well take a back seat and watch the
procession OF progressive, up.todate
towns go by. The following comment
on this subject by the Houston Chroni
Gle is applicable TO Bryan as well as
TO Houston and all other cities:
when the election was pending in
Houston few months ago 10 de.
termine whether or not the city would
issue something like 100000 in
bonds. an outsider. who assumes to

TO point out how Houston was going
TO bankrupt herself because her peo.
pie, with unQuestioning faith in her
future, were willing 10 tax themselves
TO make effective a facility for trans.
portation which had been the dream
OF half a century.
Figures showing the Indebtedness
of a number of the leading cities of
the United States may prove instruc.
tive and be of value both for purposes
of comparison and of encouragement.
Fifteen cities, with populations rang.
ing from $4,000 to 5,l73,O64, have an
Indebtedness ranging from Sl475 to
1888 per capita, the average of the fl.
teen cities being S64.3l. The highest
per capita is that of New York; the
lowest that Of Washington, d. c. Bos.
ton, New Orleans and New York are
the only cities the per capita debt Of
which rises above 500.
New York, of course, is by far the
largest city, and it has the largest
debt, the amount now reaching nearly
the stupendous sum of sSOO,OOo,O 600.
Detroit, with nearly 100000 population,
has a per capita debt of only SIS, or
less than one,tenth that of New York.
The increase of Indebtedness of
young and growing city like Houston
is we'll night inevitable. She must
draw on the future in order to meet

A TEST ROAD.

The correspondent from Coleyiew,
in discussing the road proposition,
says. We wish there could be one
road made good so IL might serve as
an object lesson. li he farmers could
see one succe. fully built with no
waste, and with a 'udisious use OF the
money voted Tor the purpose, J believe
the question OF eooi roads would be-
solved" This is precisely The propo.
sition The Eagle has advocated for
the past FIVE years II We had enc
section Of permanently improved road
so the people could see IT, drive over
II. ties; II, mentally compare It 10 the
present mud stretches, We believe 10
would create such a desire for good
roads throughout the county, the pee
pie would have them. no matter what
the cost The Eagle further suggested
that this test road extend from Bryan
TO the A. 4 NJ. College. This is be
logical place for IT, We owe It 20 the
STATE Of Texas and 10 this great nsu.
tuition TO build such @ road, and g.
should have been done long ago. It
could be built cheaper than road q,
any other place, because {. Is parallel.
ed by the interurban on one side and
two railroads on the other making II
possible for the material for construc-
ton to be distributed where wanted
and at a much lower rate than II could
be transported TO more removed
poins.t The funds could be provided
by bond issue, and II in future the
whole county or larger district
should vote road bonds. these special
bonds could be refunded and made a
part Of the general issue. The Eagle
believes It would be a wise move and
that II is feasible Expressions from
others on the subiec; are invited.

the press dispatches the representa-
tives Of five foreign Nations we're here
this week-in fact, are here now
scraping the country for wheat, and
in consequence the price has shot up
close TO the $3.50 per bushel mark, the
highest known in forty years. Not
only that, but II Is estimated by those
who know that fully IS per cent of the
present crop is already sold, and It
is freely predicted that there will not
be a grain of wheat In the United
States for sale at any price for at
least three months before the present
crop Is ready to harvest The outlook
Is that we are to have the highest
