HOUSE WAS FILLED.
King Dodo" Packed the Crawford
Theater Last Niqht.

There is no king but Dodo," was prov
en- to one of the largest audiences Of the
season when King Dodo,' a comic opera
In three acts, was presented last night at
the Crawford. Richard Golden as the
great King Dodo, a ruler by divine right
only, was simply fine. Every one thought
Mr. Golden at his best as Foxy CUTLER,
but as King Dodo he has won greater
honors His good work last night re-
ceived the highest praise from the audi
ence. He is not a comedian who gets
that Jumping Jack appearance to get a.
laugh, but possesses that dry, character
istic humor for which he is noted. and if
Richard Golden can't make you laugh
no one can.
The scene of the first act, the exterior
of King Dodos palace in the land of Do
DO, was exceptionally pretty, as all his
faithful subjects waiting to receive King
Dodo, who has declared a holiday on
which he is to receive his people as a
citizen. That is a very funny way. When
his crown was on he was king: when il
was off he lost all his royal power; but
when his people would get a little >famil-
lar he never failed to put on the crown
and tell them to stand away back in such
a manner that kept the audience in roars
of laughter. His one great failing was
his want to be young. He tries every
thing which the wonderful Doctor Fizz
can produce bur with no avail At last
he leaves In search of the great fountain
of youth by the persuasion of Piola,
soldier of fortune who is betrothed to
Angela, the kings ward, whom the king
wishes to marry if he can only find
youth. In the little scheme of Piola he
finds himself in the land ruled by Queen
Lii, the ruler of the Spoojus. who al
once falls in love with the king. but at
the time when they are the happiest
Dodo takes a drink at the spring and is
at once transformed into a young boy;
but 10 his sorrow, for he loses his king
dom, his queen, in fact everything. As
II happened the spring had double pow
er. In the last act he is thrown into the
spring and is again made the same as
ever, jolly old King Dodo.
The music in this opera is surprisingly
sweet and catchy. Every song was new
and up To date. "In Shut Nv Eyes"
sung by Harry Davies as the court cham
berlain, and Gertrude Barnes as the
daughter Of Sancho. received tremendous
applause. In singing For Love l Live
Alone" Cande Albright as Queen Lii re-
ceived much praise on her splendid voice
in fact every song made hit. The Tale
of the Bundle Bee" THE Cats Quar-
tette." and The Lad Who Leads all re-
ceived many encores for the creditahle
manner in which they were sung. The
chorus was a feature of the performance
They were axcpedinglx- Drafty op5 u-a-e
trained to perfection in the march to the
song The Lad Who Leads The band
won much praise for their good work
In all this attraction was far above
the average in every detail. Handsomer
costumes, pretuer scenery and more
capable company could not be found. The
orchestra carried by the company de-

DECISION OF JUDGE
DALE IS SUSTAINED
Mandate Is Received from the
Supreme Court
IN CASE HEARD IN 1902
Car Load of Flour Cause of
Trial.
IN CASE HEARD IN 1902

The case of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway company versus
The Dale & Nessly Milling company and
the Fourth National Bank ended yesser-
| the supreme court sustaining the decision
Of Judge Dale in favor of the defendants,
in 1902
In September, 1895. the defendant milling
company shipped car load of -four TO the
Southern Flour and Grain company. at
Atlanta, Georgia. The shipment was con-
signed to them at Atlanta and a draft
was drawn on the Southern Flour and
Grain company through the Fourth Ma
tional Bank of Wichita. for $500 3. The
bank forwarded the draft, with the bill
of lading attached, TO its correspondent at
Atlanta, with instructions TO deliver to
the company on payment of the draft
The Southern Flour and Grain company
paid the draft and took the bill TO the
railroad company and notified them to
unload.
The flour remained in the warehouse for
several weeks. which fact was made
known to the milling company, who.
thereupon, instructed the railroad COM
pany to deliver the flour to the Atlanta
Brokerage company, well knowing that
it belonged to the other company. The
railroad had no record of the verbal notice
from the Southern Grain company and be-
lieving that Dale & Nessly were the only
parties interested in the -four. they relied
upon these orders and delivered the flour
to the Atlanta Brokerage company.
On December 6. 1896. following the de-
livery of the flour the Southern Grain
company presented the bill Endorsed in
blank to the railroad company, and de-
manded the -four. or course, the COM
pany could not comply and a demand was
then made for the value of the car of
-four, which the railroad company refused
to pay. In March, 1899, suit was brought
against the railroad company for the
amount. Afterward, on July 9. 1900, the
railroad company. acting on the advice
of their attorney. paid the claim of
$30.32, then came back on the milling
company for the amount. In February,
1902, they began suit in the district court
for the recovery of the s36O.32 from the
milling company. The main point of law
to be decided was whether OF not their
action was barred by the statute of limita-
tons.
The court decided that the railroad COM
pany should have commenced their suit
when the demand was first made on
them by the Southern Grain company, in
stead of waiting until 1902 The counsel
for the plaintiff contended that the
statute of limitations did not apply until
in 1900, being the date that the railroad
company made settlement with the grain
company.
