bushels more than in February l, 1893,

last year European and atlOat wheat stocks
decreased 5,44S, 900, and two years ago s.,

ever, show favorable tendency. Sugar

The damage by the Florida freeze was
exaggerated. A large portion OF the
crops had already been marketed. Only
the late crop, and that held fer higher
prices, was caught and destroyed. Some
young trees were hurt, but old groves
were practically uninjured. The heavy
losses fall on large growers. a good,
but small crop, is expected this year.

Guests of a Hotel Narrowly Escape
Cremation.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Eleven persons were
driven from their beds by fire in the
Royal Hotel in Adams street at ) O'Clock
this morning. All of them narrowly
escaped death, and all suffered intensely
from the cold.
The Royal Hotel is a four-story brick
building. The fire was discovered by
Mrs. Brown. the housekeeper. She was
awakened by the sound of breaking glass
and found her room full OF smoke, and
opening her door saw the room beyond
in flames. She Immediately aroused the
other occupants of the hotel and all
rushed to escape, not stopping for clothes
or any other possessions.
Only one narrow stairway led from the
hotel TO the street. Escape by that route
was cut off by the fire. The flames
roared up the dry wooden stairway to
the second floor and were rapidly eating
their way through every floor of the
building. The only point of egress left to
the occupants of the hotel was the fire
escape down the front Of the building.
In getting out of the building all were
more or less injured.
Mrs. J. II. Wilson was the first one
out, and she fell part way down the fire.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS s

Complaint is made to some city official al
mcst every day about the way the motor cars
are run inside of the city limits There is a
city ordinance which provides that trains
shall not run faster than four miles an hour
through the city. The motormen never pay
any attention to 1t unless an officer stops
them. From street to N street, the end
of the line, is fraction over a mile, and the
run is often made in six minutes, which
would be at the rate of nine miles an hour
The fast time is not however, the only kick
South Omaha people have. After the trains
pass ID street 1t is alleged that II is impos-
sible for a person to get on. as the motorman
invariably looks the other way at street
crossings. A dozen or more business men
live up near the north end of town and ride
back and forth two or three times day.
They say that 1t is seldom that car will
stop for them. Not long ago Mrs. A. w.
Babcock was thrown from a car and badly
injured, because 1t is said. the motorman did
not stop after the bell had been rung for
stop. The same trouble is experienced at the
south end. Many of the commission men
live at the north end of town and ride home
to dinner. 1t is almost impossible they say,
to get a car to stop long enough for person
to get Off The fact thas two trains have
been taken off and the running time length
ened may account for the train crews being
in hurry, but the people do not like the new
order of things and will ask the council to
remedy the matter.

Mr. Louis James will be seen here Tuesday
night in a superb scenic production Of
"Othello." Mr.. James return to the policy
favor throughout the country. He stands a
unique figure before the American public,
and is undoubtedly the greatest exponent of
the herioc roles of the classics of this gen
Grafton. He combines in their highest ex-
preston the qualities Of a magnificent fig
ure a massive, leonne head, a rare grace,
scholarly intellectual attanments, and an
art matured In the most eXacting school we
have ever known. His art Is less subject to
limitations than that Of any great actor Of the
PAST score Of years, and while he excels in
the portrayal Of those roles that require
heroic trs satms mt, his temperament is so sus-
ceptible to his surroundings and the Gtmos-
phere in which he places himself that his
nature responds a9 readily 10 the demand Of
roles either poetical or romantic, or even
to the lighter veins of comedy. 1t is an
undsputed fact that he is today the repre-
sentative impersonator of such widely differ
ent parts as "Virginius," "Othello" and "Fal-
staff" To Virginius he gives a command
ing dignity, a tenderness stateliness. that
none has achieved since the days of Nc
Cullough the most Romanesque Roman the
American stage has ever known; to Othelo
gentleness, fervid temperament and the
rugged strength of the half civilized bar
barian who loses the acquired polish Of the
court Of Venice in The moment OF his fearful
calamity, and to Falstaff a broadneso Of in
fectious humor a richness of drolery, a
swashbuckling bravado air, and an unctu-
ousaess truly marvellous. To realize tae full
ness of his gsnius he should be seen In more
than one play. All his impersonations are
well worth studying
