Big Fire in Minnesota.

SAUK CENTRE, MINI, July ga great
fire swept this city lost evening doing dam
age to the extent of $4,000. The FIRE orig,
mated from a hot journal in the third
story Of Davidson Min, and spread with
such surprising rapidity that the town
was soon beside itself with excitement
Connections were made with the water
works, but they were soon ablaze, and the
firemen driven off. Messages were sent
to St. Cloud and Little Fails, and those
cities responded by starting tre depart
ments 10 the scene. The great mill in a
snort time was beyond saving. 1t is a TO-
raj loss as is also the electric light works
across the street. The water works build
ing was crushed in Just as the fire was
fiercest, and the whole city seemed
doomed.

Going Too Far.
Sh.ntsrdstolrn R1aister.

The action of the Carnegie Company
in having the Homestead strikers ar
rested for murder is, we think, going a
step too far. They have the capital to
starve the workmen out and the soldiers
to protect their property and non-union
employees. The arrest Of the strikers Is
a vindictive piece tyranny and brutality
that is as unnecessary as 1t is unjust.
Nothing that may now happen to the
Carnegie Company or to It's property

thy deserved by it.

Clara Morris.

Sardou's "Odette," in which Clara Nor
ris begins three nights engagement at
the new Seattle theater Thursday evening,
has never been seen in this city, but from
the opinions of the San Francisco press it
is most powerful and absorbing play.
Sardou is the most famous playwright in
France and in "Odette" he seeks to por-
tray the depth of maternal love. When
the ability OF Clara Morris is rene m bered
in portraying this sort of passion, her alb
soIute entering into the part, an idea is
formed of the strength she imparts to the
authors lines. There is also more of
comedy element in "Odette" than in any,
thing she does, which relieves the heavier
portions of the play and makes it more en-
ioyable. Friday evening she will give for
the first time here her own adaptation from
the German, "ClaiE." Saturday evening
also for the first time here her matchless
portrayal of Cora in IL Article A." This
engagement is the farewell of Clara Nor
ris in Seattle, as she will not visit the
Sound cities again in professional ca
pacity. The opportunity Of seeing the
greatest emotional actress of America for
the last time insures crowded houses dur
ing this engagement.

Mrs. Annie Betant Tonieht.

Every one should at least know what
theosophy means, and there can be no
better means of getting an explanation
than by hearing Mrs. Annie Besant, one of
its most distinguished opponents, at the
Seattle theater tonight. The SUSSEX, Eng
land, Daily Ne,rs says of her:
Whether as tribute to Mrs. Besant (who has
many admirers in Brighton) or from a genuine
desire to learn what theosophy does or does not
mean, or from whatever cause or causes, q very
large audience was last night attracted TO the
Brighton Dome on the occasion of all address on
theosophy given By Mrs. Besant. This lady is
so well known i'm different spheres of eocio-
political activity and intellectual inquiry that
1t was not surprising that the people
Oh Brighton should assemble in their
hundreds to hear her almost on any subject; but
II could hardly have been expected that an ad-
dress By her on theosophy--to hear which prices
OF admission ranging from 4 shillings to six
pence were charged-would have had the effect
OF crowding the floor and the balcony of the
Dome. fetsuch was the case: and the greatest
Interest was taken in what MIRA Besant had to
cay on the subject, which 10 certainly "caviare
to the general" Her lecture was at once clash
ionabiy" and "populsrly" attended, and its ter
mination-or, as one put 1t, "Mrs. Besants mag
n1hcent peroration"-was the signal for burst
OF cheering such as one hears at great political
or religious meetings in the Dome. Mr.. Herbert
Burrows. prominent mem Der of the Theosoph-
ical Society, occupied the chair and briefly in
troduced the lecturer, who, however, hardly
needed an Introduction to a Brighton audience.
Mrs. Besant has altered considerably in per-
sonal appearance during the past few years.
Her brown hair has grown quite gray, but this
fact coupled with tho increased gravity of her
face, adds 10 the singular charm and dignity OF
her presence She was attired in plain black
dress. touched up slightly here and there with
bits OF black lace and wore the late Nine Blsv-
atsky's famous ring. She has not changed her
style of speaking-a style impressive because of
its severe simplicity and its complete absence
OF theatrical effect She stood most OF the time
with her white sensitive hands clasped before
her. constantly turning her face this way and
that. the better to meet the gaze of her audi
ence, but hardly ever moving from the spot on
which she stood.

James whitcomb Riley.

There are but few really great writers
who have been gifted with the art of speak
ing. James Whitcomb Riley is, however,
an exception to this rule. There is a ten
derness. an exquisite blending of voice and
soul, in hearing him read one of his beauti-
full poems that cannot well be described.
The first glimpse of the poet as he bows
modestly to his audience enlists their full
est sympathy. and when his words, quaint
and picturesque as the homely characters
he introduces. fall upon his hear
ers, he makes an immediate con-
quest. He is not emotional; in
the midst of every sob there is
laugh, but passions are plaything in
his hands, and hardened faces to which
tears are unknown are surprised by their
flowing. Tears come to the eyes because
James Whitcomb Riley is an honest man,
and as he reads his poems, if you could
look into his heart you would find tears
there also. His visit to this city on Fri
day and Saturday evenings will be most
unusual occasion. Such men as Riley are
seldom seen here. He was secured after
great effort and the public should show
their appreciation of the work of the man.

Delicott Couldn't Buy q Turkey.

Friends OF Alfonzo Delicott. the fruit
dealer. who was arrested fast Friday on a
warrant sworn out by his wife claim
ing him TO be insane. say the charge is
absurd. 1t appears that Delicott married
about three months ago, and his wife is
rather good looking. De!icott evidently
thinks that other men think so, too. for lie
is said 10 be jealous of her, and prefers TO
have her stay away from the fruit stand.
When il came near Christmas she wanted
him 10 buy turkey and have a nice dim
ner. but DelIcott objected 10 the proposition
as beyond his resources. 4 short time
after he found himself arrested for in
sanity, and now his wife stays at the fruit

pretors OF the California Commission
Company. who set pclicoit up in business,
claim 10 own the stock. and say they will

call for it. Interest was sustained
throughout the entire performance
and the unraveiling of the story was
eagerly observed. Mr. George Osbourne's

ieliow, who was as ardent in love Is he

iaughable peculiarities of Pete. Trolsky
and scored round after round of applause.

con and Mr.. Thomas Quinn was a digni-
hed governor general. The Sara of Miss
Aiice Sheppard was artisticaily delineated
