FIRE IN LODGING HOUSE
A Brick Building Narrowly Es-
capes Destruction.
GAINED MUCH HEADWAY
Fireman Work Under observation-disclosures
age Is Slight 49, Another Fire in
the Afternoon, but Does
No Damage

A fire which might have resulted in
a heavy loss. but which fortunately
was extinguished before much dam
age was done. occurred yesterday
morning at about 2:30 o'clock. The fire
was in a two-story brick building at
the corner of Park avenue and Birch
street The lower floor of the building
is occupied by saloon and the upper
floor is used as a lodging house. The
cause of the fire was doubtless the
overturning of a lamp in one of the
rooms. The general supposition con-
corning the origin of the fire is that
one of the roomers, lady, who occu-
pied a room at the side of the building,
became chilled last night. Arising the
went to another room for more blank
cts, and in order to reach the room
where the blankets were. she had to
pass through an intermediate room,
where a lighted lamp stood on a table
In returning with the blankets, it is
thought that the lamp was swept from
the table.
The smoke began to pour out of the
windows shortly afterward and several
pistol shots We're fired. The proprietor
of the saloon hearing the shots. sprang
from his bed, hastily dressed and i'm
mediately went to the alarm box at the
corner of Chestnut street and Park
avenue, whence he turned in an alarm.
The department was on the scene in
short order and work was Immediately
begun. The fire had gained consider
able Roadway and the smoke poured
out of the building in dense clouds.
The heat was intense. Owing to the
narrowness of the halls and the diff
Guilty in gaining access to the rooms
where the fire was the firemen had to
fight their way step by step. A ladder
was placed against the outside wall
and stream of water turned on. The
fire was quickly eXtinguished.
The woodwork and furniture of two
or three of the rooms is badly dam
aged and the plastering ruined. The
loss will probably reach $500, but would
have been much greater had the fire
men not been so prompt in their move
mentS. A few moments of delay would
doubtless have resulted in the total de-
struction of the building. as the fire
was already beginning to find its way
to the roof. 1t is fortunate indeed that
the fire was gotten al in time.
Another alarm of fire was turned in
at about $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The flames We're in a frame
building on East Commercial avenue,
and the origin was the use of a blaze
to thaw out a water pipe in the cellar.
The firemen chopped a hole in the side
walk and by the use of small guam
tity of water the blaze was quickly eX-
tinguished. The damage is nominal.

Richard Brinsey Sheridans immortal
comedy, THE School for Scandal" is
the chief feature of the repertoire of
the Louis James, Kathryn Kiddcr and
Frederick Warde combination, and it is
in this famous play that these three
eminent artists will be seen here on
Thursday at the Margaret In point
of witty lines there probably never was
written a comedy so continuously scin-
tillating as THE School for Scandal"
The book of the play is apparently
short yet the comedy lasts till late
whenever performed, because two con-
sderations enter into the calculation of
the time of performance: one is the
time required to the actors to speak
their lines, and the other is the en-
forced delays on the part of the laugh
ing audience.
Lady Teazle's quarrels with Sir Peter,
her husband, and the famous screen
scene. which reveals the duplicity of
Joseph, are the dramatic moments of
the comedy. Fun ripples all the way
thrOugh--in the scenes of pitiless Cos
sip at Lady Sneerwells Charles orgies
with the fashionable rakes of London,
Charles auction of his ancestors and
every scene in which Lady Teazle is
participant.
Mr.. James will be seen as Charles
Surface. Mr.. Warde as Joseph Surface
and Miss Kidder as Lady Teazle, and
the various other characters will be in
brilliant hands. The combination num-
bers 80 people in all. Superb scenic en-
vironments and elaborate costumes are
also features Of the attraction. Seats
were put on sale yesterday and the de-
mand was large.

Mr.. W. r. Householder of 141O Columbia
Frank, who is a corporal in Company d,
23d Infantry, L. S. army. The young man
is on duty with his regiment in the Philip
pines, and his remarks are interesting. The
letter was written at Jolo, Island of Sulu,
the 9Th Of June and was mailed from Ma
Mia five days later. 1t is in part as fol-
lows:
Our regiment has been actively on the
move, and we have been engaged with the
Filipinos so frequently during the past two
months that L have had no time to do any
thing outside of duty We are now 700
miles from Manila and have been here for
two weeks.
"Joo is a very pretty town, with about
1908 inhabitants, mostly Chinese. There is
a wall around the town to protect it from
the natives from the interior, who are very
vicious and are worse than the Filipnos
They believe in Mahomet. These people
mold meetings similar to a revival meeting,
and get happy and promise to xii as many
white dogs, Christians, as possible. They
believe that they won't go to the happy
hunting grounds unless they are killed by
bullet or by white man, so you can
imagine what we have to deal with. They
have not bothered US yet, but 1t will only
be matter of time until we will be fight
ing them
This Island of Sulu is about $50 miles
from the equator, but yet is cooler than
Manila. The water is even better than
there and the mosquitoes are fewer which
is a God-send to the soldiers. I am we'll, as

AN UNUSUAL WAGER,
Bet Made June IL on Secretary Ayers
Resignation.

A singular bet was paid at an uptown re-
sort this morning. The money had been
posted June II last and amounted to $3.50
The winner had wagered on that date 5000
to $50 that Secretary Alger would oter his
resignation to President Mckinley before
August /, 1899.
Neither party to the bet was a politician
and neither had been formerly known to
take any particular interest in public af-
fairs. Both are well off and their personal
relations are intimate. The bet grew out
of discussion of the Drevfus case. the
winner declaring that the reopening of 1t
was due to the change of public sentiment
of the people of France, and following this
up by asserting that, whether right or
wrong. the clamor against Secretary Alger
would result in his leaving the cabinet.
How much will you bet on it?' inquired
the loser.
Two hundred to a hundred and fifty"
was the prompt reply. And he con-
unued, II am willing to name a time"
"When?" inquired the other.
by august H. responded the first
I'D just as soon find your money as any,
body else's," said the man who proved TO
be the loser, and Immediately the two men
drew their checks and posted them with
the proprietor. This morning they were
turned over to the lucky prophet.

MRS. CALL BRINGS SUIT.
Action to Recover Goods From Hotel
Company.

Suit in replevin was filed late yesterday
afternoon in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia by Caroline P. Call
against the Normandie Hotel Company.
The plaintiff is the wife of ex-senator Call
of Florida, and seeks to recover possession
of household goods, silverware, books and
other property, said to be valued at $500.
1t is explained that in payment for ac-
commodation for himself and wife at the
Normandie ex-senator Call entered into
an arrangement whereby the management
was TO accept an assignment of $500 due
the ex-senator as fee in a government
claim. Notwithstanding this arrange
ment, 1t is declared, the hotel manage
ment made demand upon him for some
thing more than $500, which he refused to
pay. When he departed from the hotel
and sent Tor the furniture and other ef-
fects the company declined to permit the
removal, claiming the right to hold the
goods for the amount alleged to be due
for rooms and board.
