DeWolf Hopper

De Wolf Hopper, the inimtable come- dian of comic opera, is back from London with the entire company and will appear at the Jefferson theater next Wednesday in Sousa and Klein's latest comic opera success, "The Charatan" Hoppers Lon don triumph was exactly as his friends expected 1t would be. He went over last July to play six weeks, and his success was so pronounced that he remained nine months. The honors that were heaped up- on Americas premier funny man were manifold, even multitudious. His artistic triumph in the theater was completes; he was in constant demand at banquets and club dinners, where his impromptu speeches made him a great social favor ite. They don't like speeches from the stage in London, and he was strongly ad- vised against making a talk on his opening night; but the demand came and was so insistant that he could not refuse. Everybody knows the result now; it made Hopper from the very start. The English public had never heard anything like one of Hopper's talks before; they liked it, and they would have it every night thereafter while he was in London.
 If Hopper has brought back many charming memories of a great London triumph, he has also brought with him a new comic opera commedienne who shared his success. Miss Jessie Mackaye Miss Mackaye was new in comic opera when she joined Hopper just before his London season. She had been on the stage, in a minor part, with Maud Adams, but one season. She is described as being a "wee actress" Hopper has taught her all the ''business of comic opera, and she has, according to all accounts, proven a most apt pupil. The other principals Nella Bergen, Harold Blake, Henry Norman Charles w. Swain, Ida Lester. Harry P. Stone and Annie Cameron.

 J. V. Andrews of the Irish Granite com pany, of which MT Croker Is director, said to the Associated Press reporter that he had heard the report. He added:
 If it is true, MT. Croker must have died suddenly late on Saturday; otherwise would know
 Dr. Reynolds, one of MT. Croker's physi- clans, informs the Associated Press that he has had no intimation of MT Croker's death.
 q saw him within a few days" said Dr. Reynolds. MT. Croker was then well. recently examined him, and found him physically sound If he has died it must have been the result of an accident. Some time ago I operated on MT. Croker for a carbuncle.

FIERCE FOREST
 FIRES RAGING It is Estimated That 800 Persons Are Entrapped Near 
 Winnipeg, Man.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 22.-This city is in a fever of excitement, caused by the awful bush fires now raging along the line of the Southeastern railway. All the country from La Brouquerie, about fifty miles down the line to Warren, Minn., a distance of seventy-f1ve miles, Is known to be in the grasp of the fire, which is sweeping the forest in all directions, famed by strong easterly wind, and the number of human beings entrapped Is estimated at fully 500 composed chiefly of scattered set tiers and men employed in the lumber camps of J. A. Buchanan, Neil Keith, J. Hylan, who had an aggregate of 300 men and 150 teams at work in this district near Vassar, station about eighty miles out and in the very center of the region.
 The wires are burned down. and no mes- sages have been received since o'clock yesterday,when the operator at Woodridge, about ten miles this side of Vassar report ed that the special train bearing Buchanan and Keith's men and railway officials had been within four miles of Vassar and was driven back by the flames. From strag- glers who have escaped they learned that 100 teams, with all the camping outfits, nave been abandoned, and that the men have scattered for their lives in all direc- Hons. One hundred thousand ties and O0O cords of wood were burned, and the camps were completely encircled by the raging flames. The special train had just left on another trial to break through the flames = and attempt additional rescues.
 n'' Since that no word has been received and the officials conclude that Woodbridge is burned and the train entrapped. rescue train with strong force of men, and sup plies was dispatched at noon and reached La Broquere safely. Beyond there the whole forest is a mass of flames and ad- vance impossible. as the track is hurned and the special train is cut off. Tonight the wires are down and no information can be obtained. settler from Vassar, who reached the city yesterday afternoon, reports the whole country for miles in flames, and it is almost certain that many lives are being sacrificed. The railway of- ffcials do not deny that the special train Is probably doomed.
