she should have been announced and ad- vertised on the strength of these-it would have been only fair and kind. For Miss Ross does nothing in the vocal way that would seem to court comparison with these singers. She possesses a young, Timber soprano, easily poised and fluent In the upper register, quite birdie in it's tone and capable now and then of really brilliant coloratura work; but there Is not much stamina in any Of her sus~ ta1ned notes, and in the legato passages of the "Traviata' excerpt she sang un- mistakably out of the key. The Night ingale" song by Alabieffe and the "Lak- me" legend sounded the brilliancies of her voice to better advantage. They were charmingly given. Had Miss Ross been more modestly introduced her success would have been greater. But even as 1t her proper value-a clever girl of 23, with study, musical sympathy, strength and a future ahead of her.
 A notable feature of the concert was Hugo MansfeldtS performance of Liszt's E fiat concerto. MT. Mansfeldt is in no sense sensational pianist; often he is too miniature; but he has delicacy, form, conscience and almost unchallengeable technique. and these qualities were splen- didly brought to bear on the LisZt piece. Among the shorter pieces played by MT. Mansfeldt was one unfamiliar to me and written. l am told, by the player It is very poetic and delightfully."- constructed, and in the rendition the player did the composer full justice.

ROBBED 4
 WOMAN OF
 HER RENT Thief Bold Work in the Mission. SECURED LITTLE BOOTY TOOK MONEY FROM UNDER THE MATTRESS ON THE BED. Mrs. Sanchez Aroused by the Burg lars Movements but Too Much Alarmed to Make an
 outcry.
TOOK MONEY FROM UNDER THE
 MATTRESS ON THE BED.

A most daring robbery was committed In the Mission at an early hour yesterday morning. A robber broke into the house at Z723 Twentieth street, in which a Mrs. Sanchez lives, and took her little hoard of money from under the mattress on which she was lying. As he was leaving the house the woman gave a strangled scream, which so scared the robber that he slammed the door and aroused the other people living there The woman s son jumped out of bed and gave chase, but the robber had gone.
 Mrs. Sanchez was very much excited when seen about the robbery last night. T had my little grandchild in the bed with me-" she said. We were both sound asleep, and l was aroused by a slight noise in the room. l looked around, and saw a man searching in some fancy boxes l keep on the bureau He had lamp in his hand. It was only small thing, be- cause when he was running away he closed it up and put it in his pocket.
 After he got through searching the bureau he looked at the bed and saw was awake. I was so scared I could hard ly breathe He had a gun in his hand, and said, If you scream 1 will kill you. couldn't utter a word. Then he searched under the pillow and put his hand down under the mattress, At the foot of the bed he found s in silver.
 'tHe moved away from the bed for a mo- ment, and I gave a gasp which was half made a run for the hallway. As he passed out into the street he closed the door with a bang that shook the house and awoke the other tenants. l don't remember any thing after that.
 ''The man was about medium height and stout He had on a broken derby hat and looking and had a mustache. Ills eyes and complexion I could not see, as he held the lantern low and threw the light on the bed.'
 Mrs. Sanchez's son notified the Seven teenth-street police station, and Officers I. A. Fitzgerald and R. F. Graham have been detailed on .-e case. Officer FitZ- gerald says that Mrs. Sanchez told him ft was part of her rent the robber stole and that the man knew the premises well and evidently expected to make haul.

 The charitable bazaar in aid of the Sa- cred Heart Church was formally opened last evening at Armory Hall, corner of Page and Cough streets, by Mayor Phe- Ian.
 In opening the fair the Mayor intro- duced an effort on the part of the clergy of the church which has for it's object the raising of funds for the completion of the new Sacred Heart Church, lately dedicat- ed to the service of God on the corner of Page and Fillmore streets.
 The address by the Mayor was both elo- quent and interesting, as 1t reviewed the noble work of the pastor of the church and complimented his success in securing for the people of his parish a house of worship to which they can look with
 Immediately after the address the wheels, as 1t were, of the fair were put in motion and the work for which 1t has been designed formally begun by a host or pretty girls, who showed their tact, skllI and gentle persuasion in the disposal or the various wares with which their different booths abounded.
 In honor of the occasion an elaborate programme was presented, which 1nclud- ed the rendI oton of music, both vocal and instrumental, and many other like at fractions which go to make perfect pro- gramme of interest and enjoyment.
 The fair will be open every evening un- til further notice, and the general public Is cordially invited to attend, If for noth- ing more than to obtain view of the glo- rious interior decoration of the hall, a real work of art, executed entirely by the ladies in charge of the different booths.

st. Paul, Sept. aO.-A Chippewa Falls.
Wis, special to The Pioneer Press says:
The wind blew at the rate of forty miles
an hour yesterday afternoon and last
evening, tanning the fire in the forests
until nearly every section of woods in
northern Wisconsin is ablaze. No rain
fell. although a storm threatened yes
terday afternoon. The loss to lumber
men is ensrmeus, as millions of feet of
pine is going up in smoke every hour.
The city of Barron, on the SEQ line, is
entirely surrounded by fire, and farm-
ers with their families are coming into
the towns with whatever household
goods could be saved. The bridge on the
500 line eight miles from Barron burned
yesterday afternoon, and all trains are
suspended in consequence.
Glenwood, a town of 200 Inhabitants.
on the Wisconsin Central between
Chippewa Falls and st. Paul, has been
saved after twelve heurSs heroic work
by the citizens. Thousands OF. feet of
hardwood timber around the town were
destroyed. Forty-eight farm homes be-
tween Glenwood and Chippewa Falls
were destroyed, including thousands of
dollars worth of stock. grain and farm
machlnery. IN Chippewa county the
greatest loss has been to standing pine
and to the farmers. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires are down, in nearly every
direction. and it is impossible to get
full details
The fire departments of Chippewa
Falls, Eau Claire and Menomonie have
received appeals for assistance from
nearly every small town in the fire dis
trict, and are prepared to go at mo-
ment's notice where most wanted. The
railroad companies are sending crews
in all directions to guard bridges and
tracks. Unless rain falls withiH the
next twelve hours the losses will be
enormous. August Peterson, living
near Estella, suffered the loss of his
house, barp, stock and farm machinery,
with no Insurance Crazed by his loss
he rushed into the burning forest, but

Worst Forest Fire Ever known.
st. Paul. Sept. Se.-A Rice Lake,
Wis. special to The Pioneer Press says:
The worst forest fire ever known in
this part of the state has been travel
ing through Nhe country at a rapid rate.
Reports so far from the country are
that sixteen farm houses. together with
barns and other buildings, burned yes
terday afternoon. The wind was blow
ing at the rate Of forty miles an hour
and the fire would leap and set fires for
a distance of eighty rods. 1t is thought
that as many as thirty farmers have
lost their buildings, hay, stock and
grain. The Knarp Stout & Co, barns
and other buiIhinsStat Cedar Lake Dam,
fourteen miles northeast OF this city,
were burned yesterday. Their large
dam at that point was also burned.
Their loss will be quite heavy. There
are a number of tourists in summer
cottages a little farther up Cedar Lake,
and the fire was travelling in that di-
rection at a lively rate.
Four Other Towns Wiped Out.
Clayton, a town of 800 people, is re-
ported burned, and a large portion of
Clear Lake, 600 inhabitants. Alemena,
a town of 300. and Poskin. a town of
20G, both on the 500 line, this county
have been wiped out. No loss of life
has yet been repoEked. Chris Alderson's
Blacksmith and wagon shop burned
here last evening, and only from the
fact that the FIRE was only two blocks
from engine house No. 1, and the
promptness of the FIRE department, a
large part of the residence portion of
the city would have been wiped out Tt
is thought that the forest fires will
soon be under eonerol, as a slight rain
fell last evening.
