SEASON OF GRAND OPERA.
1t Will Close in Chicago with Next
Saturdays Matinee.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The opera season
will come to a close with next Satur-
days matinee. Patronage has steadi-
ly~ gained, and the receipts of the re-
III air4a gs.nerfo rmances may make the
engagement ait the Auditorium profit
able The artists have been notable tor
their evenness in the leading roles.
When next Mr.. Grau brings his forces
here he will have to be at greater
pains to conciliate the Wagnerian ele-
ment The great stars of the organi-
cation are Nine. Nordica, Nine.
Eames, David Bispham, and Mr.. Van
Dyck, and every one of these is sing
ing now almost exclusively in Wag-
merriam opera. Apparently the public
prefers these stars, to whose number
the name of Nine. Schumann-Heink
should now be added, to amy others,
and if that is the case there is only
one thing to do, and that is turn on
more Wagner.

San Francisco, Nov 24-The Bald

the principal landmarks of San Fran

shortly after 8 O'Clock Wednesday
morning, supposedly in the property
room Of the Baldwin theater, de-
strOyed the immense structure, entail
ing a financial loss of nearly $780,,
600, besides destroying property that
money cannot replace. The loss OF
life has been miraculously light, but
two deaths have occurred so far as
known. These are: Capt. L. L.
White, a San Francisco capitalist, and
Lewis Myers of Skagway, Alaska, a
merchant. The injured are: F. p.
Noon of st. Louis, both ankles brok
en-; George Huber of San Francisco,
cut about the body; Miss Bridget
Mitchell of San Francisco, badly
bruised, and Fire Marshal ToWe of
San Francisco, cut about the head.

F. R. Andrews, cashier of the cafe;
Fred. Webster two chambermaids;

Thomas Berkey, assessor of Sacra-
mento county, Cal, and wife. The
ground moor was divided into a num-
Der OF large stores and few OF the oc-
cupan'ts saved anything to speak of.
Two of the handsomest cafes in the
city were quilted. The Baldwin the
alter, the fashionable amusement place
Secret Service company, headed by
William Gillette, lost all it's parapher-
MALTA and many members of the COM
pany lost personal property as well.
The flames were confined to the Bald
win structure but much adjoining
property was seriously damaged by
water and smoke. DR.. Freeman, a
guest at the hotel, lost his trunk con-
tanning $4,000 in cash. There were up
wards of 800 guests when the fire was
discovered and the scenes which fol-
lowed beggar description. The en-
ployes worked nobly, arousing the
sleeping residents. 1t is believed that
every person in the building was ap-
praised Of danger within 10 minutes
after the fire broke out, but rumors
are rife that many of those in the east
wing where the flames were discov-
cred were cut off from escape and lost.
How true are these rumors cannot be
definitely told for several days as
many parts of the building collapsed,
burying any who may lave been left
in the building under the debris. e.
J. Baldwin, the proprietor and owner
Of the hotel, said he could mot figure
UP the losses for several days, but he
said the insurance was light in COM
parison to the loss. The insurance on
the building may reach 100000 and
on the contents $4,000. Late in the
afternoon the fire engines had with
dawn from the scene.

GoMPERs SPEAKS.

Addresses the Laboring Men On Great
Questions Now Being Agitated.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, was in the city
Thursday night and addressed large
and enthusiastic audience of laboring
men and their friends at Rhode opera
house.
President Gompers is a pleasing
speaker and his words of common
sense made deep impression for good
on the laboring men of the city. There
was no attempt at oratory, but Presi-
dent Gompers spoke in converse
rional manner, only abiding to local
labor troubles in a brief way.
He spoke mostly on the short hour
movement and showed by apt illustra-
tions that all the nations wherein long
hours of labor were employed low wages
were paid, and the speaker further
more declared that such nations had
never gained any Importance morally,
intellectually or industrially. AS an
example he cited the terrible fate Of
| China, which for countless thousands OF
| years had crushed the laboring men
under weight of low wages and long
hours, until today its industries are
stagnant and the name of the nation is
a synonym for ignorance and indus
trial failure. In contrast he spoke of
the condition of the laboring men Of
England and America, the two most
progressive and enlightened nations of
the world. The rank Of the laboring
man must determine the moral and
intellectual standing of the nation.
American laboring men are the most
highly favored that can be found in
the world and their condition is largely
responsible for the condition of the ma
TONS standing among the nations of
the world.
In regard to the tannery strike,
President Gompers said that both sides
had made concessions and had arrived
at an agreement which in his opinion
was Just and beneficial to both sides.
The strike which was now over had
shown that both employer and en-
ability and the determined stand taken
by the men would only increase the
bonds of friendship in the future. Sew
eral times during his speech the great
advocate of labor was interrupted with
enthusiastic cheers.

Large Crowd Attend the First Party
Given by the A. o. U. w.
The members of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen gave their first
public social function at Central Music
Hall Wednesday evening, and if their
first party is any criterion the new
order will be quite an element in the
social life of Kenosha in future seasons.
The hall never looked prettier, having
been decorated with ferns and palms
by florist Turner until it looked more
like flower garden than darce hall.
The guests, of whom there we're more
than two hundred couples, were well
coined by the reception committee con-
sisting of William Boyle, John Burg
and Warren Hamlet. Dancing was
the feature of the evening and Stemm
Brothers full orchestra of seven pieces
furnished the music. At midnight a
fine supper was served in the dining
room by the members of the order, as
sisted by their wives and sweethearts.
In all the party was great success
and the A. O. o. w. deserve great
praise for the way in which their first
social function was managed.

WILL WED AN KEIRESS.
A Former Kenosha Boy Will Marry Miss
Clara Sutro.

The engagement of William j. Eng
lish, of the law firm of English & Hef
feran, SO Clark street, Chicago, to Miss
Clara Sutro, daughter Of Adolph Sutro,
the millionaire x-mayor Of San Fran
cisco, was announced yesterday. The
date for the wedding has not been set,
and whether it will take place in Chi
cago or in San Francisco, where Miss
Sutro now is with her father, has not
been decided.
Because Adolph Sutro, after life of
great activity, has become mentally
incompetent and lives in his magnifi-
cent residence Of Sutro Heights, over
hanging the Pacific, under the care of
his other daughter, DR.. Emma Sutro
Merritt, arrangements for the marriage
are left to later time.
W. j. English won his spurs in Chi
cago Born in Kenosha, he went
through the common and high schools
there and entered the University of
Michigan, graduating in 1867 with high
honors. The university retained him
as tutor in the department of Greek
and assistant in the museum. He be-
came an expert in philology and is to-
day an authority on the subject. While
teaching Greek and attending to his
other duties he took the law course in
the university, graduating in 1869.
Mr.. English said last night no ar
rangements for his marriage with Miss
Sutro had been made and that none
would be announced for some time. He
lives with his mother and sister at 6038
Monroe avenue.

PROF. INGLIS DEAD.
Well Known Illinois Educator Passes
Away at The Sanitarium.

Well Known Illinois Educator Passes
Away at The sanitarium.
Prof. S. M. Inglis, one of the best
known educators of the west, died at
the Sanitarium in this city, Wednesday
evening at 1880 o'clock from the effects
of stroke of apopleXy sustained nearly
a year ago.
Prof Inglis has been prominently
connected with educational interests in
Illinois for several years, and some
time ago he was chosen Superintendent
OF Public Instruction of Illinois, and his
untiring work in the discharge of his
duty was largely responsible for the
failure of his health.
He came to the Sanitarium about
four weeks ago and since that time,
although growing more feeble each
day he took a great interest in the
schools of Kenosha and gave the Off
Gals many valuable hints in regard to
new improvements.

A CRICKET CLUB.
Lovers of the English Game Seek to Form
Team in Kenosha

Lovers of the English Game Seek to Form
a Team in Kenosha
The lovers of the English game OF
cricket are again agitating the ques-
ton of forming a team in Kenosha,
and from present indications their
efforts will meet with success. The
directors of the Country club have
looked very favorably upon the project
and if team can be gotten together
a fine ground will be SET aside and laid
out on the Country club grounds.
Kenosha boasts of about dozen good
players and if club can be formed
as many more may be discovered.
Prof. N. Rowe, who is at the head of
the proposed club, has few superiors IN
the line of cricket in Wisconsin and he
has played with several champion
teams. Other we'll known players
who are heartily in favor of organizing
a team are G.. r. Mcdowell, j. B. Da
wilson, Chas. La Bugh and Harry Rob
inson. Racine has two teams, and If
Kenosha can follow suit some exciting
matches could be arranged. A meet
ing will be held in the near future to
perfect plans for the organization and
all persons interested in such team
are requested to leave their names at
the News office.
