this morning. In the building were eleven

burned also, but the institution brigade,
assisted by volunteer iremen of vineland,
battled hard to save 1T.
The frightened inmate were taken to
Wilbur cottage, an they did not suffer
rison, superintendent of the institution,
left Vinefand yesterday for a two weeks
vacation at Ashev.lle, N. C.
The structure destroyed was known as
the Maxham Building, 1t having been
the gift of r. d. Markham, a wealthy
citizen of sVineland. The building cost
about 10000, and was insured for SI2, 00O.
An irreparable loss is the Official papers
and records of the institution, all of
which were burned.
There are close on to 200 children in
the different buildings of the home, and
the good discipline that prevails was
clearly demonstrated by the order kept by
the children during the progress of the
fire after the FIRST fright was over. The
noise made by the fire engines and the
firemen awakened the inmates in the
other buildings, and for a time they
were uncomfortable. The officials and
teachers quickly assured the children that
there was no danger. and then they be-
came quiet.
When the residents of the village
learned that the main building of the
home was or fire. they all hurried to the
place to render assistance and did some
valuable work The grounds of the i'm
~stitutton consist of 100 acres, and the
buildings On the place are worth at least
$4,000.

ssThe Bells OF Shandohss at the Lyric
Theatre.

The management Of the Lyric has pro-
vided its patrons with a very pretty play
in The Bells of Shandon," which was
produced for the first time last evening.
The cast is headed by the popular sing
ing comedian, James ". Reagan. The
play is an Irish one, but is void of the
usual characters found in the average
Irish production. Mr.. Reagan's work last
evening was first-class, both in his act
ing and singing. He has a sweet tenor
voice and knows how to use it.
Mr.. Reagan was ex~cellenfly supported by
Marcus Moriarty as Eugene Desmond,
George d. Baker as Maurice Kavanagh,
Carol DAILY as Webster Brooke, Albert
