SMALL FIRE ON UNION STREET.

Curtains Take Fire and but for "A Small
Boy the House would Probably lave
Burned.
There was a small fire in the residence Of
j. w. Jones on South Union street Thurs
day afternoon.
A gas jet with an arm which could be
turned for convenience was burning and the
servant being requested to throw back the
lace curtains in the room did so. After do
ing this she stepped into another room for
a moment and when she came out the cur
tains wers ablsze. The girl was badly
frightened and with a scream darted for
the other room where Mrs. Jones was. The
latter went right in with her child in
her arms, but returned and left the baby
BY this time Ned, the 12-ysar- son,
had taken the curtains down and thrown
them cut in the yard back Of the house
His hands were burned some, but he chung to
tbem till they were carried out.
II it had not been for the young man the
house would have probably burned, for Mr..
Jones happened to be cut OF town, and the
fire would haze gained quite Roadway be-
fore the fro department could have reached
the scene. 1t seems almost Incredible for n
young boy to perform such an act, but n
minute afterward Master Jones was rs cool
and calm rs ii nothing had happened.
The damage viii be slight only tho fix
lures and little woodwork basiIa tho cur
taius being burnei. the girl tainted i'm
medately after reaching the other room
and was in Mysteries most of tho night
Yesterday she was much better, though
completely exhausted.

The MinstreIs Tonight.

Goodyear, Glitch & Schilling's minstrels who
appear at the Seattle opera house tonight, are
very highly spoken of by the press throughout
the country. The following is from the sacra-
mento Bee:
Notwithstanding the drenching rain of last
night. every seat in the Metropolitan theater
was filled on the occasion of the appearance OF
Goodyear, Glitch & schiiiings minstrels. AL
though the minstrel band is not so large as some
OF its predecessors and the managers do not
make so much OF a blow" il is the best that
has played here in years. No company has given
such thorough satisfaction nor received such
hearty applause. The stage setting OF the first
part is decidedly gorgeous with beautiful seem
cry and rich crimson damask curtains, and the
performers are dressed in handsome pink aud
white silk costumes But it is not the dress that
makes the show. All the performers are tai
ented. And, besides, they really have many new
gags, and everybody knows they are scarce in
minstrel entertainment. 1t was the nearest APP
proach TO one of the popular, old-time minstrel
shows we have had in years.

ga Turkish Rath,o

Unless all signs fail, "a Turkish Bath" will
attract large audience to the opera house to-
morrow night. Ii comes to us fresh from a
highly successful run at the Bush street theater
and with most tiattering press notices. Besides
little Marie Heath the company contains num-
Der of Seattle favorites, notably, the Eckerts
Emma Berg, Frank Murphy, Al Feeley, Matt
Sheedy and a score of others. There will be q
matinee for ladies and children Saturday after
noon. The Ogden Herald of September II refers
to its appearance there as follows:
The new musical comedy "a Turkish Bath"
which has met with favorable success in other
Western cities this season, was greeted at the
Grand opera house last night by a large aud
fence. Miss Marie Heath, the clever little song
stress who made her first appearance in Ogden
last winter with Ole Olson, reproduced "W on
You Come Out and Play and Listen to My
Tale of Woe in a more charming manner than
ever. Miss Heath has shown herself to be a
fayorite with Ogden theater goers by the en-
thusiastic manner IN which she was received
last evening. Her support Is very good, which
is peer TO the success OF the production.

s.Ihe Ranch King

The Cordray theater has so successfully filed
a long felt void since its opening that its many
patrons are always jealous for its welfare and
prosperity. so many happy hours have been
whiled away in its handsome and cosy interior
that its admirers never miss at least a nights
attendance every week. 1t is impossible, where
a change of bill is made every week, to produce
a drama that will meet the approval OF every
one. but exceptions not made the basis of
critsism in this case no more than in any other.
There are several features about the production
OF 'The Ranch King that will entertain and
amuse many. The bill in the auditorium is
brilliant and attractive and drew well filed
hall last night.
