A fire broke out 10 Coombe's machine
shop, 10 this city, about three O'Clock
this "Wednesday morning. TIE roof
and second floor, together with large
quantity of valuable patterns were burn
ed. The first floor, on which the heavy
lathes and other machinery stood, was not
burned, but the machinery is somewhat
damaged by water. The foundry building
escaped all damage The most serious
loss is the patterns. To replace these will
cost several thousand dollars. The build

The fire is believed to have been Of in
cendiary origin. No fire had been IN use
on the second floor, where the fire origi-
mated, during the day. A Waterman in
q nearby mill states that about one o.
clock he saw light in the shop and it
appeared as though some one was moving
about. The loss will fall principally on

Amusement,


Almost every person is fond OF amuse-
meut. The exceptions are few and far
between. The style Of amusement is ms
varied as those who enjoy it. Some love
music, vocal or instrumental some ind
recreation 10 cards, either in gambling or
social games others 90 to billiards and
pool Some love the dance and make
merry until the "wee small hours" Then
there are those who seek enjoyment in the
drama and opera, the Ministries or vaud-
vile, Pile fighting and such sports en-
gage others attention, and foot ball, base
ball and cricket entertain thousands Of
others. and SO 1t goes from one end Of the
year 10 The other. II is beginning to dawn
90 the minds OF christian men and wo-
men that, in order to bring the young into
the church some form OF amusement must
be adopted and allowed that caters to the
wants Of lhese young people
1t is hard TO fluid old heads on young
shoulders. Older people are apt to for
get that they were once young and too
often try to curb the spirit Of amusement
10 their children or those Of others because
they no longer are amused at the old
games or pasiimes. Those devoted to
religious service imagine that the young
should feel the same interest in church
work that they do themselves after years
OF faithful service.
Amusement halls or opera houses are
therefore necessary 10 a community and
the neater and more attractive the better.
Proper management in selecting a class
of entertainments that will enlighten and
educate, instead OF demoralize, is what is
wanted. There are numerous classes OF
entertainers travelling throughout the
country who might be induced TO visit
this city provided there was a fit place in
which TO exhibit, and they would find
willing patrons If assured that comfort
able seat, well.lghted, heated and ven
tilated audience.room, where order pre-
vailed, could be secured
With all the other new enterprises OF
sewers, school houses and such, let us
add to the list new Opera House.
