Panic in a New York Theatre.

New YORK. Dec. 25,-What might
have been terrible panic, with perhaps
loss Of life, was averted almost by n mir
acle at the Fifth Avenue this afternoon
during tho performance OF CLEOPATRA ',
For about two hours the house was in
frenzy OF excitement, and all over cry Of
fire.
In decorating his theatre for the holiday
Mr. Miner placed in the Twenty seventh
street lobby OF tho house number of var
ious colored lights. In the center of the
lobby was big bunch OF lights hid
amongst an immense boquot of WAX and
paper flowers. When the electric curreu,
was turned Oh the effect of tho light.
against tho flowers was very pretty. The
fire ran up along side the stairway which
led to the balcony and gallery. Tho upper
part OF tho'houso was iammed and there
were more women than men.
The performance was In the middle OF
the fourth act when there was q strong
smell OF smoke in the upper part Of the
house Two or three men ran ut once 70
the balcony and gallery to assis, In case Of
u panic. Just AS one of tho men reached
the gallery u big brawny fellow shoutcd
"f'ircw A blow on the Jaw from nm
usher laid him low
People rushed to the exits, and the
ushcrs tried to stop them, telling them
everything would be all right In u moment.
On tho left side Of the gallery, which
had n beautiful staincd-giass window, one
woman, seeing that sho could not get GU,
By the regular exit threw herself against
the window, not knowing where she
would land. She fell on fire escape and
was picked up later unhurt. The noise OF
tho crashing glass made matters worse
and put stop TO the performance.
In the meantime the paper flowers which
had caught FIRE had been torn from tn.
pipe and stamped out.
Mr.. Mcdowell, who impersonates Mark
Anthony, made neat little speech and
begged the audience To remain quiet lie
assured the audience there was no danger,
and those prcsca, became quiet and re-
turned TO their seats. The performance
was then continued.

Tho fire was caused by Stableman John

scattered all about the stable. Scroggs
battled with the flames but without effect
and barely gained the top OF the shaft
whom the flames followed him up, setting
tire to everything of IN innammable ma

At tho first alarm the entire population
OF the village rushed to tho burning shaft
and babel Of shrieking voices filled tho
mir. Half M hour later hopeful cheer
came from tho door Of an air shaft short
distance away that changed the wailings
Of the almost frantic people into shouts Of

Of the little hole In tho ground to q place
Of safety.
All Of the 100 minors were saved. Mine

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE.

Gods of the desert! Ye are they
 We shun from childhood's earliest breath: Our passing joys are but your prey; Ye wait the hours from birth to death. Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep, Under warm trees where love was born :. I see your naughty shadows creep, And wait to meet ye there, forlorn. Afar on ancient sands ye rest,
 Carven in stone, where ancient thought Wrapt ye in terrors-shapes unblest, Dreadful, by might of ages wrought. But not alone on Egypt's shore
 Sleeps the great desert: everywhere Where gladness lived and lives no more, There is a desert of despair. Strange messengersi Your brows of gloom Haunt every creature born of earth; Ye follow to the darkened room;
 Ye watch the awful hour of birth, Ye show the lovely wayside rose, Whose antique grace Is born anew. To eyes of grief. Grief only knows How tender is the sunsets hue. Gods of the deserti By your hand Through the sad waters are we brought Into high and peaceful land
 To drink of fountains else unsought.

An Old Fashioned Luncheon.
 A unique luncheon was given recently in Brooklyn-nothing less, indeed, than an old fashioned one "You are to come at 12, bring your work, and stay until 5, y dictated the hostess. and at noon sharply the twenty women bidden duly appeared, all but two, with their sewing. Bonnets were dotfed and real visit was entered upon. The luncheon was delicious one, and was served without too arbi- trary following of the course style-an agreeable medium, indeed, between no courses and "all plates" as the country man explained his first French restaurant dinner.
 When the guests returned to the par Tor, instead of the brief standing round before leave taking, which characterizes the modern fashionable luncheon, chairs were cozily drawn into groups, needles and thimbles came out, and though, as one who was there confessed, no serious amount of work was accomplished, the pleasure and sociability of the afternoon were pronounced, as the company in cluded some of Brooklyn's representa- tive women, and the hostess is pro1ni- nent in more than one circle.-Her Point of View in New York Times.
