Tile STREET COMMITTEE.
Mrs. James Brown Potter.

There is no city in the United States
which can truthfully boast OF a more
critical audience than Richmond and
when Mrs. James Brown Potter appeared
before the large, select, and fashionable
assemblage at the Academy OF Music
last night, she had an unusually severe
ordeal through which to pass. 1t may
conscientiOusly be said that she acquitted
herself well. The play in which she ap
peared, Loyal Love, is pretty produc-
iion, not, by any ems, striking or brill
liant, but exactly in accord with Mrs.
Potter herself 1t Is poetical romance,
the plot pleasingly woven, and refresh
Ing from the contrast ii presents 10 the
ordinary run OF hackneyed dramas
which, as a rule, hold the American
boards.
Of Mrs. Potter particularly, 1t must be
said, tba, she is certainly more Of the
lady than the artist She is very hand
some, with face that can best be de.
scribed by the term sympathetic" She
Is the embodiment of refinement and
grace, every motion bespeaking the gen
tie woman rather than the actress. This,
however, while it may prevent her from
altogether standing the test of inexora-
BILE criticism, is decidedly to her benefit,
since what she lacks as the professional
she more than supplies in the magnetism
which lovely woman always possesses.
Taken altogether the entertainment
was a thoroughly enjoyable one, and
Mira. Potter was well supported by Mr.
Kyrie Bellew, Mr.. Henry Lee, and the
entire company. She appears tonight
In double bill, Loyal Love, e,and Yolande
and to morrow at the matinee and at
night, Romeo and Juliet. In this latter
play she will, no doubt, appear to decided
advantage.

RAILROAD REBATES.
A Very Important Decision I'm Chi

A Very Important Decision I'm Chicago.
CHICAGO, January Pa very import
ant decision was rendered yesterday by
Judge Gresham in the Central Iowa
Railroad foreclosure case. A year or two
ago a firm of extensive grain shippers
made contract In Iowa with the Cen
trail Iowa Railroad for certain rebates on
their shipments. When the foreclosure
proceedings were begun they had claim
Of some $4,000 for such rebates, and filed
an intervening petition to have the re-
celver of the road directed to pay 1t
out of the proceeds OF sale and against
the mortgages. The judge refused to al
low 1t on the ground that the statutes
Of Illinois prohibit discrimination by
railroads In this or any other way.
Though the contract was made in Iowa
1t was TO be enforced In Illinois, and was
illegal under the law, no matter where
made.
