TENDERS RESIGNATION.
Judge Dabney Doubtful of Right te
Continue Judge in Two Cities.

COnunu6 Judge III Two OIIcS.
Governor Stuart has received the
resignation of Judge A. ID. Dabney
as judge Of the Corporation Court of
Buena Vista. For some time he has
been holding the judgeship OF the
Corporation Courts of both that city
and Charlottesville. Under the Vir-
GINA Constitution. a judge for city
of the second class can hold the same
Office for a second city of the same
class. Charlottesville has recently en-
tered the list of cities of the first
class. and Judge Dabney is in doubt
as to whether or not he can longer
hold the judgeship Of second city.
On account of Governor Stuart
continuing his stay at his home in
Russell County, the question will not
be laid before him until his return
next week.

The Bijou offers as it's Triangle at
traction William s. Hart, assisted by
Enid Marley, In THE Captive God"
It's all about half-breed, who, in
stead of reverting to type, shows an
improvement and grows into some
thing out of the ordinary. He leads
a warning band of Aztecs into several
kinds of fights and being the hero,
he wins: wins the battles and the
hand of the white girl. There can be
no question but that william Hart is
one of the most convincing actors now
appearing in pictures, nor can there
be any question but that Triangle is
producing probably the best grade OF
pictures. Therefore, looking the bill
of fare over carefully, Hart. in THE
