The Fight Growing More Interesting
Daily.

The fight over the Henrico county judge
ship. to be vacated by Judge Minor upon

more interesting daily.
A lively lobby is being conducted around
the Capitol and hotels. and every indi-

Legislature has been besieged by the
friends OF the various candidates and i'm
nortuned TO commit himself to their ia
yorite. A number OF pledges have been
already made, but the majority or the
legislators prefer TO remain untrammelled
by promises TO support any aspirant for
this office.
Those now In the field are Messrs. A.
w. Patterson, T. Ashby Wickham, VIII
liam III. Sands, and Harvey Wilson.
The friends OF each one of these gen.
tIernen claim the election. Numerous Pc
titfons were afoat among the legal frater-
nifty yesterday. and all OF the gentlemen
who aspire to don the legal ermine will
present to the Legislature unanimously
signed fapers setting forth their respec-

"THE PRIVATE SECRETARY"

THE Private Secretary'-stale and
trivial perhaps, but By no means pnen-
durable-was presented at the Academy
last right before small audience. AS
a piece OF play-writIng 1t was never more
than an agreeable absurdity trihe ~ the
most playful sort, but II certainly fnakes
people laugh. Burlesque OF this kind has
never been divorced from a certain
geuiality OF tone; harmless foloies have
been exaggerated to awaken good natural
laughter. and the adventures OF the Pri-
vate Secretary are grotesque ana impossi-
bic enough. ard there are lines ana sltua-
lions OF sufficient humor to keep audiences

clever. But the worst OF 1t Is that 1t only
makes you acknowledge its cleverness; IL
doesn't make you laugh your appreciation
