THEATRICAL COMBINE.
Travelling Managers Form Asso-
citation For Mutual Benefit.

New York, Dec. 31-An official state
ment of the objects of the new combina-
ton of travelling theatrical managers
has just been made. The name Of the
organization will be THE Association
of Travelling Managers in general the
object is mutual protection. Papers of
Incorporation will be filed at Albany to-
day. Nearly $50 travelling attractions
are already represented in the member
ship. Offices will be established at once
and general and assistant managers will
be appointed
One of the chief objects of the assoeia-
ton IS to secure better terms from the
railway companies The managers be-
lleve transportation rates are at present
excessive. Another important object is
the establishment Of a system of attor-
neys and bondsmen throughout the
country. Unreliable actors will be ta-
booed by the association. If violation
of contracts and gross misconduct on
the part of an actor are proven no mem
Der of the association will be permitted
to give him further employment In a
measure the general manager will sup
plant the theatrical agent for lists of
available performers will be kept. The
members of the association expect in
this manner to expedite the matter of
engaging talent. If this is carried out
it means loss of business to the agent
and saving of commissions to the actors,

prevented what might have been a very
serious ire The fire was IN the store
room at Gil Kansas avenue which is oc-
cupfed by c. E. Wardin and Mrs A G..
Elder Mr.. Wardin, who is a jeweler,
has the north side of the room, and Mrs
Elder occupies the south side with mllll-
merry.
When the hremen arrived the room APP
peaIed to be a mass of flames. They en-
tered at the front door and with the
chemical engine soon had the fire under
control. No water was turned into the
building, for the chemical answered the
purpose and saved much damage which
always results from a heavy stream of
water.
TWAS L O'clock when passers by heard
an explosion and saw the plate glass
windows at the sides of the door fall out.
A dense cloud of smoke followed and the
alarm was at once turned in. There
seems to be a difference of opinion
among the people who heard the explo-
sion as to whether there was one or two
explosions, but there was certainly one
explosion for the windows and glass on
the inside of the store show the effects.
Mr. Wardin says that he was IN the
store Is minutes prior to the time the
alarm was turned in. He had been in the
store writing a letter and says that he
noticed nothing unusual. The lire start
ed under the first counter on the north
side of the store and Mr.. Wardin says
that he had not been back of that coun-
ter. Back of the counter was a large
walnut case in which were kept cut glass
and silverware. The heat was so in
tense the glass and silver in the case
were melted. The case was completely
destroyed but besides the case and the
counter little damage was done by the
fire. The case next to the one burned
was scarcely injured although it was
damaged by smoke as is everything in
the store. There was nothing in the
show case on the counter as all the
goods had been put in the safe. On Mrs.
Elders side Of the store the damage is
difficult to estimate. The fire seemed to
envelope the case containing the silver
ware and then follow along the ceiling to
the front window where everything was
destroyed. The intense heat over the
case ignited the rafters through the met
al ceiling and the ceiling had to be torn
away
Mr. Wardin says that there was moth

cept a box containing celIuioid cases. 1t
may be that this started the fire. The

PROSPERITY SERMON.
The Rev. N. J. Savage Speaks a Good
Word For Laboring Man.

New York. Dec. 31.-The Rev Minot
J. Savage, preaching last night in the
Church of the Messiah on THE Century
Of Wonder said in part:
There are no classes in this country,
and the agitation that is going on as to
the condition of the laborer, instead of
being a discouraging sign is altogether
a hopeful one 1t is said that the rich
are growing richer and the poor poorer
This is simply not true. There are more
rich people in this country today than
ever before, but there are not more peO-
pie poor, according to the population.
There never was time, let me say in a
general way, when wages were so high
as they are today-Wllen the common
people could earn SO much and so cas-
ily.''
DR.. Savage referred to the advance
ment of Woman's position during the
closing century. and said that as soon
as all the women of this country de-
sired the right of suffrage they would
receive it. He also spoke of the present
reform movement in this city, hoping
for its success, but 7eprecating the ex-
plot of information about vice.

loud shores. His good dame was dis
mayed at his behavior and dug him
sharply in the ribs with her elbow The
only response was a grunt and a snore
louder than ever. Persons in the neigh
borhood began to turn their heads to
see the cause of this disturbance, and
the good wife became almost frantic.
Throwing aside attempts at conceal

shoulders. He stirred, but did not
