Of the Columbia fire engine gong was heard
by the boy in the gallery and he shouted,
"Fire!" The curtain had been lowered on the
third act. The cry had an electrical effect.
Almost the entire audience arose from their
seats, the musical director jumped and looked
about with a scared "wherep expression on
his face aud several of the actors aud act
resses presented their terror. stricken faces in
front OF the curtain.
The fire engine had gone in the distance
meantime aud the fire alarm bell had stopped
ringing A number of men who had retained
their presence of minds and their seats
shouted to the frightened auditors, sit
down. and others added iocular cries OF
"sit down, Smith" which had a soothing
effecting and those who had jumped up
timidly resumed their seats, when the
Mugs Landing exponents retired behind
the scenes, where any well regulated theatri
cal company would have remained in the first
place, and not lend color to the alarm by
rushing to the curtain.
When the boy first shouted several mer
and women made rush for the main exit
but the door tenders remained cool and self
possessed and would allow no ono to depart
giving assurance that the fire was not nea

The cause of the alarm that frightened tn
gallery boy was found in the Hungarian
| honeycomb at the lower end of Main street
known as the "bug-hole," but which in day
gone by was skating rink. An immens
volume of smoke pouring from one of tn
chimneys of the nest frightened the resident
of the vicinity. Fire Marshal Edward Early
assisted by Jimmy Williams, Enocl
Decker, Tim Lynch, Patrick Feeley an,
number of others, made thorough investi
CATION aud concluded that the outpour o
smoke was caused by freshly kindIed fire.

lecture at Robbins opera house last night.
He was very successful here and it is said
that he made nearly 5000 during his ten day
stay Last evening Mr.. Hopkins, of 2S6
West Coal street, called upon Yeno and gave
testimony of the virtue of the Yeno liniment
and medicines. Mr.. Hopkins said that his
son was crippled by rheumatism. One morn

One Of the greatest successes on the road
will play an engagement here shortly. 1t is
one of the most colossal theatrical enterprises
ever sent from New York. During the past
machinistS, upholsterers, carpenters, etc, have
been constantly at work building the most
stupendous scenery and effects. 1t can be
best appreciated from the fact that not one
piece of the local scenery is used in the
production. The stage is stripped bare on
the company's arrival in town, as every
piece Of scenery for the entire play is special
and from the accounts which precede the
company, some Of the scenic effects are
simply wonderful.

"Do you believe in sympathy" This
question was put to me the other day by
young lady with such musical voice and
sweet face that l was tempted to make
misstep and (for the first time in my lifel
tell lie. But moral courage stood the strain
and boldly answered that l did not believe
in it. For many years l took stock in that
article, but time has worked a change and now
when people talk to me about sympathy am
compelled to blurt out, "Bosh w Sympathy is

coin goes. Don't count too much upon ii.
Always spell it with a small IS" and prepare
yourself for disappointment when inclined ~

The present police force is good one and
can hardly be improved upon, and l hope
that the members will continue to exercise
their usual good Judgment and not become
too aggressive in the impending battle To
elect Councilmen. In giving this advice i
am backed by many who are not wholly
blind to the situation Of affairs. The people
are rapidly approaching realization OF tho
fact that merit and not political pun should
prevail when the time comes TO organize the
police force and the officer who keeps his
hands on and paddles his own canoe is less

1t is not my intention to preach an idle
sermon upon sympathy, but to bring in view
a local case that destroyed my faith in it..
For years past a woman Of this town, who ap-
peared to be in good circumstance, was
courted by many in distress, who asked and
freely received of her bounty. This woman
was foremost in everything pertaining to the
welfare Of the people. She worked harder
than the rest Of her kind, had smile for all
and her sympathy" was of the practical
kind-cash and bread. Many took every
occasion to express their gratitude and
vowed they would do anything for her
should she ever need help. Nothing would
be too good for her, and nothing would be
too difficult to undertake in her behalf Time
passed on and The woman 1 spoke of met
with reyerses. Money, and even the neces-
saries Of life became very scarce. The
Samaritan Of former days was on the verge Of
abject want, Those who had shared in her
bounty were upon their feet" but blind
"PoOr thing. 1t is really too bad" and that
was the extent Of their sympathy" and the
benevolent creature was left to sink or swim.
Look about you, reader, and see if there is a
case in town such as l speak Of and then ask
"Obe." if he believes in sympathy"
