GO TO HIGHER COURT.
Fillmore Street Paving Row VIII Be
Appealed.

The Fillmore street pavement row is
going to be appealed to the supreme
court. This is one of the warmest lit
tie neighborhood quarrels that ever
happened in this town, involving as it
does a lot of the prominent people of
the city.
The quarrel is in regard to the exact
location of the pavement on Fillmore
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth. NJ. Low and Albert Reid want
ed the pavement a few feet further
west than the other people in the
neighborhood. The council decided to
put it where Mr.. Low wanted it. Then
everybody else was mad, and decided
to bring a suit to prevent the move.
This suit was tried in the district
court. and the petitioners were defeat
ed. The case made has now been made
up, and the attorneys, Carver & Lari-
mer. will take the case to the supreme
court.

Judge Pollock, Of the United States

The petition protects the proceeds OF
the sale of the water plant scheduled

out the action at law brought to get

roles, Fielding, Continental officer, Harrington, a dare devil British cap tain, and General Washington Fielding and Harrington are twin brothers, not aware of each others existence at the time of the play Their physical resemblance leads to all kinds of exciting complications in their love affairs and in the plot to capture Washington by treachery, a theme on which the plot of the play pivots. The stirring and picturesque period in which the action of the play transpires gives exceptional opportun- ity for intensely exciting scenes and clinaxes. For instance, in the fa- nous third act there is a tremendously effective complication of dramatic en- counters within f1relit colonial room, bayonets flashing i'll the moonlight, a duel of sword and pistol, and a fusiI- ade of shots fired into the dark The same superb production as seen in New York during it's long successful run will be used during this engage ment.

VAUDEVILLE.

It's another mighty good show that IS handed out at the Jacques this week and two large audiences yester- lay laughed till their sides ached at the funny acts that followed each oth- CT in plentiful p1ofusion. First in iIn- poItance and filing well its place as such, is the comedy playlet which Will H. Murphy Blanche Nichols and company present under the title From Zaza to Uncle Tom'' Nothing more strenuously funny has been pre- sented on this stage at any time, and there is hardly a line of the playlet that isn't provocatiyeN of hilarious laughter. The story i, of the attempt of a transforming troupe that started out to play 'Zaza" to replace it with Uncle Tom" and the action is built around the managers efforts to show the company how to play it. Some of the most absurdly amusing situations result and there is one constant and continuing roar of laughter from the time Mir Murphy and his associate players appear until Eva is seen 1nalS- ing her flight to heaven. As head liner this act is likely to prove as pop ular one as any that has been offer ed at the house. George w. Day has originality and brightness, and tue way in which he delivers it odds to the favor with which it is received
