PRESS COMMENT ON
MCDONALD COMPANY.
“Dixie Land” as played by the
McDonald Company, was one of
the most touching dramas, and
the audience last night was a
large and enthusiastic one, says
the Fulton, Kentucky. Commer
cial. It was full of fun and
The old-time darkies of the South
were all there in their inimical
drollery and mirth—Southern
simplicity and ways of long ago.
The scenes and character sketch
es—the acting, songs and all,
was so much a part of the South,
that one was carried back once
more to the 'Southern cornfield
and cotton patches. The ‘ ‘masher
woman” had everything her own
way, and Josephus Squashtop
was “it” sure enough. But the
little soubrette was clear out of
sight in her charming ways of
caprice and sweet cunning. With
the news of the rebellion, the
aid gents hysterical pantomime
and the old lady was just awful
in her nervous parade of excite
ment and fear.
THE FAST TRAINS.

POLITICAL PO
•■•atlona of Groat MoOnoat DaMa
mined toj the Game la tko
State of Kamaaa.
Topeka Is much agitated over revels*
Uons of draw poker in high places, and
nothing could better show thas this up
roar what Inroads the civilization of the
east is making on the life of the bound
less prairies. Once upon a time, statee
the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was
i to Kansas what bridge whist is to the
parlors of the fashionable. It was prac
tised as an art, a pastime, a profession.
No ons thought then of concealing hil
play of the game, but, rather, it was a
I subject of pride end boasting. Indeed,
it was more than a game, for it served at
times in the adjudication of the mosl
serious problems of state or government
At present the law of Kansas recog
alses the game of chance known at
"drawing lots” as the proper means ol
deciding all ties in elections, but form*
•rly draw poker was resorted to aa s
more orderly means of compromising
For example, in one of the western coun
ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied
for the office of representative the)
played 9 game of “freeze-out” to de*
tsrmine which should enjoy the office
Again, not so many years ago, when ths
senate committee on congressional ap
portionment came to a deadlock over the
divers plane for dividing the atate Into
congress districts, the members ad
journed to a room In the Copeland, took
each a generous stack of chips and
played to a finish. Under the terms of
this historical game the committeeman
who lost his chips withdrew himself and
his apportionment plan from furthei
consideration; and when the game was
reduced to two gentlemen, me one wu»
froze the other out fixed the plan of ap
portionment, which stands with little
change as the plan of to-day.
Volume* could be written of poker in
cidents in Kansas. Once a well knows
congressman, who, by the way, has reap
peared in Kansas politics, had to meet
the charge made by some ovsrprudish
people that he was addicted to ths game
of poker. He appealed to his political
asoclates to help him out. The one whe
came most energetically to his recuza
was Capt. Bill Hackney, the Winfield
statesman. “I am In a position to state,"
certified the doughty captain, "that Mr.
Blank is less addicted to the game than
any man I ever played with.”
More elaborate but quite as effective
was the defense once made by Steve Os
born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house.
Some 12 years ago Steve was running for
reelection to the ofllce of district Judge
In western Kansas. The pops got out a
handbill accusing him of being a "pokei
player” and circulated It widely.
IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
f Comfortable Fitting;* of Railway
Car* for the Benefit ef Sab
irb«B Passenffera.
Some newspaper attention has lately
been attracted to the “club cars” by
which little groups of wealthy New Y^rk
a.nd Chicago business men Increase the
comfort of the dally trips between their
suburban homes and their city offices,
states Youth’s Companion.
Each car Is in effect a club house on
wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings ot
the ordinary cars are removed, and simp
ler and more tasteful decorations are
substituted for them. Movable wicker
chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric
fans cool the air In summer. There are
dressing rooms, libraries, appartments
for the women, In short, everything
which tan contribute to the eomfort of
the travelers.
The cars ar» open only to members ol
the group which hires them, but they
represent merely the climax of a con
stant Improvement In travel, both bv
water and by rail.
At the other end of the scale we see the
steerage accommodations of the ocean
steamships. Persons who are familiar
only with the horrible conditions fot
which "a steerage passage" used to stand
would be astonished if they were to visit
% modern liner. More room, more ngni,
more privacy, better food, better sleep
ing and sanitary accommodations and
an abundance of water, both for drinking j
and for bathing, are now possible even
to the poor Immigrant. The steerage ,
passage of to-day Is a more comfortable j
mode of travel than was the second
cabin passage ten years ago. First |
cabin accommodations have improved ■
correspondingly. One of the newest
vessels has between 40 and 60 suites ol
rooms, each provided with Its private
bath.
What is most needed now is a substitu
lion of wicker or leather seats for the
unsanitary plush so dear to American
car builders and album makers, and
greater seating capacity in street cars.
Joke on the Professor.
Once ipon a time Prof. Wilson, at
Edinburgh, wrote on the blackboard in
bis labora'ory:
“Prof. Wilson Informs his student*
that he has this day been appointed hon
orary physician to the queen.”
In the coi rse of the morning he had
occasion to l*ave the room, and foundoo
his return that a student had added to
the announcement the words:
"God save the queen."—Michigan
