FIRE THIS MORNING.

Several Thousand Dolinrs' Worth Of Property
Consumed In the West Division.
Between u and / o'clock, this morning, when
the storm was almost at its height, fire broke
out in the triangular-shaped four-story brick
building at the corner OF Milwaukee avenue and
Desplaines street. Tho Fire Department was
promptly notified by an alarm from Boz
267, and responded with commendab1e
haste. Those fierce west winds, which
occasionally sweep over the city, make
the "hoys" jump around pretty lively. As soon
as Assistant Marshal Mershom observed the pro-
PORTIONS Of tho fire, ho wisely decided to give
second alarm; the night was too windy to de-
pend upon q few engines. Before the flames
were subdued, the first and second floors ware
wes considerably damaged: Fortunately for
those living in the vicinity, the burning building
IVES almost in the centre Of brick row, and
the FIRE did not bare chance to spread

age to the building at $4,000; no insurance
The hrBt floor was occupied as a clothing store
by German Jew named Iebracht. His stock
was entirely destroyed. It's value could not be
ascertainod, but it is said that he had between
$1,000 and e. 900 worth Of goods on hand before
New Years. Ho is fully insured, but the amount
and company is not known. The second floor
WAS occupied by l1r. Peterson, merchant tailor
His loss VAS between 50. 900 aud IS, 900; insur-
ance unknown. The third floor waa used aa q
hall by the Nova Society. Loss on furniture,
de-, probably 5000; insurance unknown. The
fourth floor was occupied by tailor named
Stevenson, who lost little or nothing. The
cause Of the fire was not discovered, but it is
strongly suspected that it had it's origin in in
cendiarisua.

Al F1CAEAS 5 TAESIHE-
In the fnco Of drizzling rain and most disa-
grecable condition Of things under foot, large
and fine looking audience found it's way to Nc
VicEer's last evening, to witness Charlotte Cush-
mars first appearance in the memorable charac-
ter Of Queen Katherine in >ehakepearo's great
Rlay OF King Henry YII1.' The long line Of
carriages which thronged the entrance 10 tho
theatre amply attcsted the quality Of tho atten-
dance, and proved how thoroughly have been
awakened tho more critical and discriminating
among Chicago theatre-goers by tho engagement
Of Miss Cushman. Presentations Of sHenry
VIII" have been extremely few and far between
in Chicago, or in America or England for tho
naatter Of that, and for the reason, chiefly it is
maintained, that it is not easy to find Actresses
who can be induced to undertake the role OF
Queen Katherine, much less those who profess
to be able to do justice to it. It is
conceived By many, both actors and critics, to
be the most difficult and exacting Of shakspeare'a
female roles. even as it is regarded one Of the
greatest, it not tie greatest, Of his creations.
Doctor johnson in his review Of the play says
that !" tho meek sorrows and yirtuous distress Of
Katherine have furnished BONO sceues which
may be justly numbered among tho greatest
efforts OF tragedy" He says Of the second
6ceuo OF Tue 1Ou1IQ act-LaAt IN which The
broken-h hearted Queen takes leave OF her wait
ing-women-that sit is above any other Of
shakspeare's tragedies, and, perhaps, above any
scene Of any other poet; tender and pathetic,
without gods, or furies, poisous, orprecipices;
without the help OF romantic circumstances,
without any improbable eal1iea Of poeticai
lamentation, and without any throcs G.
tumu1euous misery" In Miss Cushman's
hands this scene is tinged with
pathoa and sadness almost Oppressive,
and the bcholdcr experiences feeling Of relief
when the "moat unhappy lady" breathes her
last Next to this scene, in point Of intensity is
Kdn.crine's interview with the two Cardinals, in
which Miss Cushman reaches grand climax Of
dramatic effect BY her matchlcss action and
e!ocutlon- Tho trial econe was given with great
dignity and imp1essiveness, her exit from tho
Chamber being q marvel in stage "business.'
4 striking pncnlinrity OF the inperson.tion Vas
the impression which it gave Of force rcp1eased
and power subdued~ Though often urged to tho
extreme point Of breaking forth into violent
anger and dcnunciation, she always stops short
of ttat-alwa3s splendid example Of patience.
Tho rendition has few or none Of the .t1ong,
pronounced elements which us1ally arpertain
to tragedy; it is eubdued, sorrowful, sad
throughout, teaching most pathetic. Lesson
OF womanly virtue and Christian Resignation It
IS no wonder that the role Is 70 seldom essayed.
Lacking the genius, almost inspiration, OF Miss
Cusllnan's 8 conception Of the character, it must
prove the nezest failure, but under her touch
