Mrs. Burnett has produced strong story,
from a melodramatic point Of view. and
group of striking characters. Structurally,
however, her story is open to the crtti-
cism that she has not sufficiently welded
together the two phases of which 1t con-
sists. The real interest centers in the
tragedy of the two ministers. John Blair
and Lucien Latimer. and herein Mrs. Bur-
nett has wrought a lasting impression. 1t
is somewhat unfortunate, therefore, that
she neglects to associate the dramatic
value of this striking situation with the
readers concern over the claim, which
is relocated to subordinate rank in the
pages of the keenest interest. Mrs. Bur
nett must have forgotten some of her

Mrs Drew was one of the foremost fig

years. Even to the time of her death, not
long ago, she was active in her man parts
of striking talent, and her audiences were
even larger and more zealously enthusiasts
tic than before. She leaves this fragment
of a record, filed with the atmosphere Of
the early stage and the favor of many de-
parted personages who, with her, have
given American dramatics some of their

GREATEST ESTATE.

Who would not like TO own more OF
the earth than any one else? This dis
tinction belongs to Robert Gillespie
Reid to whom most of Newfoundland,
the tenth island i'm the world, belongs,
according to the Chicago News. Reid
is a Scotchman, who secured grants OF
land on promise TO improve them. He
has built railroads and towns and spent
his life in developing his property.
Newfoundland is one-sixth larger than
ireland, and Mr.. Reid owns 100000
acres.
Since Newfoundland. tired of official
inertia, and lack of capital, decided
to turn over it's assets TO a private cap
italist by means OF what is known as
the Reid contract, IL has been discov-
cred that Newfoundland Is not only
rich mineral country. but actually the
richest on earth. Gear" Reid as the
unassuming owner is called, has al
ready refused uncounted millions Tor
his property. and in spite of the agta-
tion begun by the colony to rescind the
contract. there seems every reason TO
believe that Mr.. Reid will live TO en-
JOY one OF the largest private fortunes
of the period, as well as to be famous
for his sagacity in exploiting huge
island. which was barren when he APP
peared on the scene.
Forty years ago Mr.. Reid left Scot
land to make his way in the world. and
since then he has lived a life OF un-
remitting toll. He has built railways
over many of the rough places of the
world and hard work and exposure in
the northern climate have at last
rather undermined his health. He is
i'm Algeria now, but even at that dis
tance goes on developing his New
foundland property. At present there
are working under him in Newfound-
land small army of prospectors and
surveyors; mills are being built. rail-
way 400 miles long is being operated. a
fleet of steamers is in process OF con-
struction. All this is the result OF the
energy and shrewdness Of one man. He
has two sons, grown men, who are as
ISOLATED with him.

WHAT TO DO IN A HOTEL FIRE.

The first thing To do upon being
shown to a room i'm a hotel is 10 make
a survey of the Railways and the stair
ways. and discover just where every
hall leads just where every staircase
IS. and what the chances are for es-
cape by particular Railways and stair
ways i'm case OF fire. If the fire es-
capes are placed at the ends OF the
halls. learn their location. so that you
can find them i'm the dark.
I'm this state il is required by law
that there be portable fire escape in
every room.
In case a guest is suddenly alarmed
by a fire I'm a hotel il behooves him to
keep his head. See that the door Is
tightly closed; close and fasten the fan
light. and then go without delay for the
outside means of escape. Invariably
take the outside route If there is one.
Ift there is n rope in the room, and
n man has wife or children with him.
he should first let them to the ground
by tying the rope around them and
lowering them carefully, allowing the
rope 90 slide out over the window sll.
