suited in victory for the former team by

 The Dallas News says fit. MT Charles D. Herman is very fine actor. In his Representations there is much to admire and commend, that a supporting man should so rise to requirements of a difficult role as to divide honors with Mr. Warde is rare compliment; yet such opinion is warranted of Mr Herman. His impersonation last night was complete and far reaching and was greeted at many points with frequent and earnest plaudits. Nature has been kind to MT. Her man.-Physically he is happily

WHO Is THE PEND?
stanley's Residence Set on Fire
 Two Days In Succession.

The insurance men carrying insurance on the residence Of Mr. Frank A. Stanley, who lives on South Cherry street, are today much worked up over a second at tempt in the last two days to burn his residence, and as our reporter learns, will today make MT. Stanley tender of the premium paid in by him, and refuse to carry the risk further.
 Yesterday morning about 6 o'clock the house was found to be on fire and it is now very evident that the fire was the work of an incendary. It was due to the excellent work of the Fire department and the quick response to the alarm by the department that the house was saved from total destruction on that occasion.
 This morning about 630 a gentle man passing the home of MT. Stanley again discovered the house to be on fire. He gave the alarm and again the fire department made Q run of nearly mile and extinguished the flames before any material damage was done.
 The house was undoubtedly set on fire, as the flames burned a hole throuah the floor from beneath just between the kitchen and a room adjoining, and there was no possible way for it to have caught unless applied with evil intention, by some fiend. The residence and contents is insured for $2, 800, and if the policy is cancelled Mr. Stanley will indeed be in most unenvaible predicament.

endowed-a feruid imagination, q cultivated mind and good voice only words of praise are due him.
 MT. Charles Stutton gave q smooth and artistic rendition of his role. He demonstrated himself q fine, finished actor, capable Of support ing Mr. Warde. He reads well and realizes that repose is the soul of acting, and knows how to hold the mirror up to nature. Mr. Stevens made the most of, and gave good interpretation of his character, and Earnest c. Warde, a young son of the star, was most acceptable. The ladies of the company are exception ally good, especially Miss Gillette, Mrs. Waldron and Miss Moore. The entire organization is notable for it's evenly balanced dramatic strength.
