Destructive Fire Yesterday Morning
Did $500 Worth of Damage,
Other News Notes.

Fire broke out yesterday morning
about 9 o'clock in a large two-story
tenement house on the Sport Hill dis
trict of East Drinker street, owned by
Thomas Brennan. In response to the
alarm from box % the fire companies
responded in a remarkably short time,
but were badly handicapped by the
poor water supply. The flames gained
rapid headway and all efforts were
directed towards saving adjoining
property
The property owned by William Me-
Carthy caught fire, being in close proX-
unity to the burning building, but was
promptly eXtinguished before much
damage was done. After the flames
were under control all that remained
Of the Brennan property was a heap

The most elaborate patriotic and
spectacular performance ever attempt
ed by amateurs in this city was pre-
sented in Mears' hall last evening be-
core an audience that completely filed
the spacious room, and created such
an excellent impression that its repetl-
ton this evening will undoubtedly at
tract another such assemblage. For
three solid hours several hundred
young people occupied the stage, which
was entirely to small to allow of "a
proper production of the beautiful ac-
tions of "Kalos Plegan.'
The performance was given under
the auspices of the young people of
the Washburn street Presbyterian
church Bible school, for the benefit of
the parsonage fund. and most of the
credit is due Miss Sara \. Jones, who
directed the entire production To at
tempt to fully describe the many num-
bers would require unlimited space, as
the performance should be seen to be
appreciated.
The little girls drilling and singing
with their dolls, young women march
ing and young men performing the
manual of arms, together with the
posing, tableaus, music, recitatons,
etc, We're delightful surprises to the
spectators and worthy of any profess
sional performers. Possibly the only
criticism that might be made is that
several of the numbers are too long
drawn out and could be shortened
without marring the beauty and pic
turesqueness of the performance.
The Feast of Roses" May Day
Fete" "Vestal Virgins" charge OF
the Light Brigade" "Viviandiers" and
