During the three years that the Bijoouhas been catering to the Richmond pub¬lic there have appeared almost all ofthe big headline aets of tlie vaudevllleprofession, and the patrons have beentreated to many fine vaudevllle bills, butit is fair to say.that the bill offered lastnight was one of the best entertainmentsever seen in Richmond. No vaudevlllehouse in.America ever offered more rec¬

ognized, headline acts in one week thanwere in last night's Bijou programme.George Fuller Golden, made famous

throughout this country as tne founderof the ."White Rats of America." was. ofcourse, the headlined act of the bni, anddeservedly so. for he is the cleverestmcnologue .who has ever entertained atthe Bijou. Golden has a mannerism whichi3 peculiarly his own, and he was unde-niably a big hit.The three .Tnscarvs have bepn billed

correct, for their act is most novel. Itmade a distinct hit. Montgomery andStone went strong in the eccentric come¬dy dancing act. Stone is a wonderfuldancer. Kitty Allen Fox pleased andFlo Irwin and Walter Hawley. in their"Caught With the Goods".why tha namedoes not appear.was another of thestrong acts.Mr. and Mrs. Murphy. in a skit called

"The Seventh Son," went well, and Fred-eiick W. Bowers. who holds a spot ln thehearts of the sentimental young folksas the author of "Because" and "Al¬ways." is distinctly a- matinee singer.Bennett and Young, old favorites in thiscity, gave a new bunch of illustratedsongs, which vwere well received.All in all, it is a good show, sfod there

is little doubt that the salary list is onethat will recjuire big houses all the weekto balance. There will be the usual per-formances, with matinee to-day.Music will give way to drama at the

Academy'ince more at the matinee Wed¬nesday afternoon, when the Giffen Com¬pany will once more hold the boards ofthe theatre in a splendid revival of "ASoeial Kighwaymnn.;"! The pilay willbe superbly mounted. Rehearsals arebeing held during the occupancy of theAcademy by the Wednesday Club at San-ger Hall.

Fercy Haswell will appear at the head.of her stock company at the Bijou noktMonday in "The Little Minister." Theplay would attract on its own account.but the fact that the Percy HaswellStock 'Company comes here with wellearned laurels and a great reputationfor. good acting and ,fine,- productionsmakes the engagement all the more in¬teresting.

THICITY CANNOTREMOVE TRACKS

Tiny Railroad Secure in its Rightof Way.

THE BELVIDERE-STREET LINE

City Attorneys Agree That its RouteWas Given to it for an- Jndefinite

Perioti, and Cannot BeWithdrawn..

The city has no right to requlre the re¬moval of the railroad track3 on Belvi-dereT Street. This is the su'ostance andconcluision of an opinion rendered lastnight by City Attorney Henry R. FolIardtwho calls attcntipn to the fact that CityAttorney C. V. Meredlth rendered a simi-lar opinion in this matter fourteen yearsago.

'"

These opimons make the position of.theuniQue little company, whieh owns thispiece of road. impregnable. Aithough-:wning probably the shortest line of trackof any ccmpany tn the country. only thatpiece about a mile ih lengtb from ElbaStation to Byrd-Street Station, and theGamb.le"sHiH tunnel, lt has probably a

longer name than any other company.the, "Richmond. Fredericksburg and Fo-tomao and the Richmond and PetersburgConnection Railroad Company."Major E. T. D. Myers has been the

president of this company for thirty-tiveyears. As the chief engineer of the com¬

pany, he appear before the Counpit thirty-six years ago and secured the permissionof the city to construct and operate overthis route. It was an interesting and no-table fact. in the light of the manychanges of personnel which are constant-ly taking place in the railroad world. Ma¬jor Myers. after thirty-six years of un-interrupted connection with the road hebuilt, appeared before the Council com¬mittee last night as the representative .ofthe company in connection with the move¬ment to bring about the removal of itstracks.

STREET COMMTTTEB ACTS.The Street Committee several weeks

ago created a subcommittee to look into*he matter of the removal of tfc»Belvidere-Street tracks. In the StreetCommittee it was stated with consider-able positiveness that the connection rail¬road, as it is called by way of abbre-viation, was using the streets altogetherwithout authority, and only by sufferancc.The subcommittee, by way of enteringupon its work. invited an opinion of theCity Attorney. This opinion was re¬ceived by the subcommittee last night.The subcommittee was considerably sur-prised at its contents. It effectually end-ed the whole movement. The subcom¬mittee referred the opinion and also alengthy petition from residents in thewestern part of the city praying for theremoval of the road, to the full StreetCommittee. There the matter will rest.

AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT.A Council Committee Passes on the

SI5 Ash Barrel Cow Claim.-The now famous Sl> claim against the

city fcr*i cow killed by a barrel of frozenashes durhped on one of the city dumps.has been advanced another step. TheCouncil Committee on Claims and Sala-rfes last night recommencietf its paymentto. the Council.The measure originated" in the Health

Committee. which has charge of thestreet cleaning force. from one of whosecarts, it was chaxged. the fatal barrelhad been dumped. When the measurereached the Board of Aldermeh it strucka snag. Ssveral aldermen feared that itspassage might establ-sh a precedent thatmight at some later date be extremelycostly to tha city.Cononer W. H. Taylor was instructed

to pay out of the S2.5C0 appropriated forcoroner's expenses the monthly chargefor a-janitor at the City Morgue.
