At the RiioII.

The Bijou Musical Comedy company is again at the Bijou, and mirth, music and melody, with Little Chip as a side partner, reign supreme there. And then the girls They are daintily costumed, with pretty lingerie. and scored tri- umph.
 The audience at the Bijou last night was enthusiastic, for nothing went by without applause and laughter The comedy is great, much new and catchy music adds to it's greatness. and the fn- ishing touches are added by the girls and Chip. The old block has improved. for Chip is better funnier and more fan tastic than ever.
 In the first hit, led by David Andrada and the girls, the applause was warm, but when the entire cast sang We Greet You, Dear Professors" with Chip and Otis Harlan as the professors the ova- tion Was remarkable.
 The first act is the office of the Finsihyile Habit Cure sanitarum. The office abounds in comedy scenes, and all the time there was laughter or applause. In this David Andrada. assisted by Jessie Pearee and Marie Hodgon, sang An English Lord."
 The second act is the reception room of the sanitarium. It served to bring into review the various abilities of the mem- bers of the company in the granduation exeI Icises. Chip, Tony Hart Marie Fanchonetti and Gertrude Hoffman sang .The Story of the Pansy'' and the two girls did some very clever dancing. Their costumes were stunning, but a little ex- travagant.
 This was followed with Modern Eccen- tricities," by Otis Harlan, Chip, Dan Mar ble, David Andrada, Frank Johnson and Andrew Bode. The sextette was called back seven times. Mary Marble in '"rhe Slumber Song" was as winsome and popular as ever. John Early drew rounds of applause for his song. '1n the Valley of the Sunny Shenandoah" Suzanne Roc. amora surprised every one with her voice in My Baby With the Dreamy Eyes, ir which she was assisted by the company
 The third act was q combination of novelties. Otis Harlan, in illustrated liv- ing songs, made q hit and the turn would have stood for many returns but the actors refused. Mary Marble and Frank Johnson sang My oarning Little Japan essee' in a most pleasing manner, and in fact it was one of dhe strongest feat ures of the performance
 It Is considered the best bill the ccm- pany has played here. The house was packed, and standing room was all that could be bought. The audience was the most enthusiastic the house has ever held.

"Haverly's Mastodon MinstreIs."

Negro minstrelsy Is becoming somewhat frayed and outworn, and at some points last night the frayed edges were seen, but the entertainment was at any rate as good as the patronage warranted. And there were some excellent fun-makers in the company. George Wilson was fully as funny as ever. but in all his long career in cork he has never studied the negro's character methods. Bert Swor is, however, a negro on the stage, as much so as Wilson's oldtime partner, Milt Barlow, ever was and that is saying a good deal.
 The acrobatic features of the entertain- ment were very fine, especially those of the Carl Damman troupe. Aney were graceful and agile, and their acts were warmly applauded

 T have just received your letter of recent date and wish to express my sim cere appreciation of the compliment paid me in the same.

 With best wishes I remain,
 Yours truly,
 M A. HANNA. The above is in reply to an inquiry whether he would accept the nomination of the Republican party for president. MT. Hanna has been endorsed by many of the republicans of the lily white fac tfon In this state and this, 1t Is said, will sound death knell to that plan.
 With the knowledge that MT. Hanna will not be candidate a movement has been started to have him to recall his determination and become a candidate. In case he accepts this the delegation from Alabama. if the lily white move ment continues to prevail will send a strong delegation to the national conven- tion for him, it Is thought.
