-Burr Oaks. Last Night.

Burr Oaks" has been presented in this
city on several different occasions, and
by several companies OF more or less
merit, but none have put the popular
play on the Red Jacket stage with such
effect as Newell's Columbian comedy com
paDy did last evening. This is the can
did opinion OF large number who were
present, and they are not at all back
ward in so saying. The play was excel
lently staged and the characters were all
very well taken, Knox Gavin in the title
role again proving himself iavorite
with Calumet audiences.
The specialties introduced last evening
were considerably above the average and
the quartette selection rendered before
the last act was very good, they having
to respond to a rousing encore. Mr..
McWatters rendered "Doris" in a man
ner that brought down the house and be
had to respond. Miss Tyson's singing
was good and the step dancing proved
an interesting part OF the performance.
The play to be presented this evening
is said to be one OF the best in the CON-
pany's repertoire. The fire scene intro
duced was said to have been so realistic
at Marquette that several members OF
the fire company rushed to the stage to
assist in extinguishing it, THE Stow
away" is the title OF tonight's play, and
it will be presented in the tent.

The Rev. W.T.. Frazee's Lecture.

The Rev. Mr.. Frazee has made quite a
reputation for himself as lecturer; his
lecture, Things | Dare Not Say In the
Pulpit" contained much of truth, al
though, at the same time, it was said in
a manner which the very people he was
striking could not take offense at; now
he comes forward with another fayorite
lecture OF his. The Shibboleths OF Mod
ern Christendom," which he will deliver
next Tuesday evening at the Tamarack
N. L. church, for the benefit of the build
ing fund. The News understands that the
lecture is not, as from its name it might
be supposed, on theological lines alone,
but that it leans more to the ethical, and
consequently persons OF all shades of
opinion may find much pleasure 10 listen
ing to it, particularly as the lecturer is
known for the wit and humor be throws
into his lecture.

Hope When You Are Hard Up

The hopeful phase is when we seek
work for the first time Possibly we are
entire strangers TO the great city and its
ways. We have entered its gates with
out introduction, with little experience
of life, less money. and yet with the
grand idea Of stepping into some lucra-
tive appointment that may be had al
most for the asking If of an adventure
loving and enterprising spirit, we are
prepared to enjoy this new experience.
The untried city has fascination for
us. Its streets, its buildings, the faces
of its inhabitants-all touch our fancy
We set off full of hope. We are so sure
that fate has something bright in store.
We go from agent to agent, from edi-
tor to editor, from publisher to publish
or, from one place of business to anoth-
er. Agents are naturally pleased to
pocket their fees as they smilingly as
sure us they will do their best to find
us work. Editors receive us with a tired
air and point to pile of unread manu-
scripts Poor editors! Publishers do us
the honor of assuming that we have a
book for inspection. Business employ

Last Night-Other News.

Fire broke out in the roof OF the ole
school building, on the corner OF Calumet
avenue and School street, about 8 O'CLOCK
last evening, but was put out before
damage OF any great extent was done
The fire broke out In the roof near the
southeast corner
Mr.. Dryden was the first to notice
smoke coming from the roof OF the build
ing and he FASTENED from the Calumet
Hotel. where he was standing at the
time, TO the library where he informed
the librarian. Mr.. l.. W. killmar, who
was in the library, and Mr.. Dryden and
Librarian James made their way to the
lodge room on the third floor where the
fire had Just broken through the ceiling
They got some pals OF water, but the
fire had made too much Roadway to be
stopped then. An alarm was then turned
in from box 33, and several engines were
on hand in less than no time and several
streams were soon playing on the fire.
One line OF hose was taken upstairs in
side and a stream put on the fire, but the
smoke was so thick that the firemen
could not stay in the room. The roof
was built in peculiar way, having
space OF about ten inches between the
ceiling and roof.
The most damage was done in the
lodge room in the third floor, which is
used by Bannockburn Camp. Sons OF
Scotland, and was formerly occupied by
the Masons. The carpet 10 the room was
completely ruined as was also the lodge
room organ which was pretty well
water-soaked. The water dropped
through into the school rooms below,
but was kept from going through into
the library by being swept down the
front stairs. The damage to the library
was nominal, only about dozen books
being damaged. Some OF the school sup.
plies were ruined by the water.
The plaster has been damaged through
out the building, but can be replaced
with little expense.
The building is owned by the Calumet
and Hecla mining company and they will
probably commence repairs to the roof
There was no insurance on the building
