of the season at Keith's Opera House.

Digby Bell, the extremely popular come

himself the highest praise from both the
press ana the public, throughout the
country. In this pronounced success,

"The Birth of the Firefly" is IN reality
a ballet danced by seven very pretty
young women. Their skirts, bodices and
bats, while very stylish and becoming,
are mechanically made and are the work
of Miss Louise Harndin, the niece of the
inventor. Miss Harndin by the way, is one

stage is darkened, the scene drop goes up

BUILDINGS BURNED DOWN.

Two Workmen Killed and Ten In jured at
Lindsay ark, Mich.
CHARLEvoIx, Mich, Oct. 1.-Two
men are dead and 10 injured as the re.
suit of the blowing down of q big new
hotel at Lindsay park during the after
noon. The structure had been all en-
closed and partly plastered. About 40
men were in and around the building
when the crash came. It appeared as
though all were buried in the ruins, but
after all the rescued were counted it
was found that but two had lost their
ives-Pierce Kendall of Charlevoix and
Guy Hamilton of Grand Rapids
The building is 44O feet long. When
the storm was at it's height the south
end began to sway, the roof seemed to
lift and the whole structure careened
and crashed, the ruin following like a
tidal wave to the north end. The build
ing is ctal wreck and the loss will be
many thousands Of dollars.
The hotel was four stories high and
40 feet long. 1t was, owned by the
Chicago and West Michigan Railway
company and it is doubtful whether it
will be rebuilt at present. In order to
finish it before winter the contractors
were allowed to plaster the upper two
stories before the lower floors, were
properly placed, and this, it is supposed,
was the cause of the collapse, the
weight at the top weakening the whole
building.
