THE OPERA LASTEvrSING.
The Kellogg Company Plays II UrrOva-
tore to an Immense B0use.

II is nOt matter oi surprise that the re-
turn Of Miss Kellogg 10 Richmond, and her
rf4D, earance here in English opera should
have been The occasion FOR tue altering OF
an immense audience Oi beauty and
fashion 81 the Theatre last evening. Her
past triumphS here were doubtless
recalled 10y many o. her musi'-lOying
friends. who had so often listened with
unaloyed pleasure to this queen OF song,
and who again enjOted her sweet notes.
Miss Kellogg herself was no doubt grstihed
at being welcomed bv 50 large and fashion,
able an audience. even II the opera Tor The
opening night failed TO iufusc the usual en-
thuslasm upon such occasions. NerdIs
Troyaiore, while not abounding In pathetic
music possesses a charm which increases
with the knowledge OF the opera. rs music
and Is interesting situations grow upon the
hearers until at last it, hetvinesS, II any, is
forgotten, and il Is classed among the most
cbqrmine stories In song upon the stage.
MISS kcllogg's LeonOra is not bef best
rendition. She appears - better advantage
in other operas. but her voice is still rich and
strong, even though a few sf her notes may
have los, some ~ their wOnted sweetness.
The climax Of TroyalOre ls reached IN the
fourth act-the asi-in which abouDds
thrilling scenes and touching music. She
has grown stouter since last she sang upon
the Richmond stage. but she Is slill the grace
iul womau and OF tue stage appearance that
she was before.
Manric0 was persOnated by Mr.. Leonard
Labatt, tenor, who sang in Richmond for
,hc brst time. He has fine voice OF great
power, but is not the actor which Manrico.
in TIE story Of the IrouJadOur, would seem
10 call for.
Mr.. ". H. lee sang with good effect the
part Of Count hi Luna, and was The first TO
receive an encore. His voice was as agreeable
A. was bi, acting.
Dir. Maina toeS the part Of Fernando,
which he sustained c.editably.
Azucena was 10 have bee played by Miss
Louise Melsslnger. but it was announced
from the stage that she had taken cold, and
Miss MYERS was immediately caste In her
place. The latter possesses asweet contratO
voice and. although lsbOring under the en-
barra.sment Of having just been summoned
to the stage. sang The part creditably.
The lest did fairy well. The orchestra
and chorus are up 10 the standard OF their
associates, aud altogether the performance
was enjoyable.
Tonight Bales ever-popuar opera, the
Bohemian Girl. will be presented.

RAILWAY MILEAGE.
Large Increase for the Year.

(By telegraph 10 the DssDatch.l
CHICAGO. December 27.-The Railway Age
tomorrow will say Notwithstanding the
widespread impression that additions 10 the
railway system OF the United States during
1858 would be comparatively Insignificant,
the evidence is now before us that the rail-
way mileage OF the country was increased
during the year by no less than !, l20 miles OF
main track. While this is much less than
the phenomenal increase in the years
1887, 1856, 1882, sud 1891. when the
new mileage was, respectively, 1900,
5000. 1860. sDd 9,19G miles, the
record for the past year exceeds that
OF cvery other year iu its history, with the
exceptions named. and OF fthe year ISL,
when 1879 miles were added. New track
was lajd in all but two the forty-seycn
States and Terrtories ceptions being
Rhode Island and Kansas still
leads the list in the ~ % Jf new mileage,
As she has done fors' Al years. California
comes next Themost striking characteristic
Of the years work is the large number Of
separate lines OF which it Is composed and
the couespondngly small average-iess
than 20 miles for each line. Only about
twelve built more than 100 miles each, those
dong the largest amount OF work being the
Chicago. Kansas aud Nebraska, 4l2 miles;
>t. Pau, Minneapolis and Manitooa. 574
miles, and the Southern Pacific. through va
ri0us subsidiary companies, little over 300
miles. These facts are important, showing
how the nature OF toe work OF railway con-
slructiOn changed in single year. The
building OF great competitive lines practi.
cally ceased for the immediate present and
the years work was chiefly devoted to the
construction OF short Independent lines and
