bare walls, and one of them partially destroyed.
NatGoodwins company was to open to night, and
all their he sage was in the house, but the fire
starti,er N the front part of the building gave
t-e company ample time, and they saved all
their property. John w. Norton, manager, was
not so fortunate however. His entire personal
wardrobe and valuable actors library was in
the front part of the building and was totally
destroyed His loss is about 81, 1000. The in

Gnixs Baby, has published a new story entitled
A Week of Passion. The London Saturday Re-
view says of it:
'Mr. Jenkins describes his new novel-which
is not his best-as a study of human emotions
chiefly in the sphere which is adorned aud dig
nifed' by peers. 1t is easy reading but if hu-
man emotions proceed as it would have us be-
lieve they do in any sphere whatever, then is
most good literature at fault. AS it seems to u.s.
indeed Mr. Jenkins is trife mistaken in the
quality of his work, which is that, not of a
study of anything in particular, but of florid
exciting sensational story, somewhat in the
manner Of the late Gaboriau- He opens with a
magnificent murder"
