Fire Does Damage to the Amount OF
$135,OOO.
Minneapolis, Feb. 20. - The large
building on Fifth venue south and
Third street, Minneapolis, occupied by
the Pittsburg Plate Glass company,
was badly damaged by fire Saturday
night. A total loss Of probably $780,
coo was caused. OF this amount all
but $4,000 is on the extensive stock
carried by the company. The fire was
discovered a few minutes before 8
o'clock. The blaze spread with amaz-
ing rapidity and before the firermen
had fairly got down to business the
fire was through the roof and the en-
tire second story was burned out. For
q time it looked as if there would be
nothing left of the large structure
and it's valuable contents, but when
the fire was extinguished the walls
stood, to the surprise of many, and the
damage to the ground floor was found
to be much less than anticipated.

on 1bsen's new drama, When We
Dead Awake" which the Russian nov
elist calls a Fantastic rigmarole," and
otherwise ridicules as follows:
"Only heaven knows the meaning Of
these fantasies. The hero, an artist,
seeks the truth; the IL dearest to him,
who also is seeking the truth, turns the
minds of Il couple of men, and after
her adventures returns to her husband,
who, in her company, climbs a noun
tain to get nearer the truth.
"Now. is this life? Are these char
acters? Where is the dramatic in this
example of .~decadence?
'sThirty years ago such a fantastic
rigmarole would have been parodied
to death, and with that the matter
would have closed. But in these days
the work is given greater Importance
and produced on a hundred stages"
