weeks beginning November II, with usual
mat1nees. There seems to be an unex-
plainable quality about this unique play
that authors would give much to be able
to dupl1cate,-the power to attract large
audiences quite regardless of the number
OF years 1t returns to the same city "The
Sign OF the Cross" is one of the half dozen
modern dramas that are quite likely to see
the beginning and the end of generation
OF plays. Of course the fact that the piece
appeals very strongly to, and has been
endorsed by, prominent priests and clergy
men both IN this country and in England
has much to do with its continued success,
still entirely aside from this element it
appeals to large class of regular theatre
goers. The gallery applauds the noble
sentiments and heroic deeds of the early
Christians quite as enthusiastically as it does
the equally heroic if not so spiritual con-
duct of the heroes of melodrama, while
lovers of an elaborate spectacle, rich in
gorgeous and harmonious colorinp. and
numerous and varied stage settings, find
in the piece an attraction that is seldom
surpassed. The thorough excellence of
the company that William Greet, manager
OF the Lyric theatres, has sent to this
country each season has been kept up aud
this year, we are told, it is one of the
strongest that has been seen in the play
and contains several English players who
have never before been seen on this side
the Atlantic. Scenically the production is
entirely new.

raging forest fire was noticed in the vic

boys are located and in a very short
time those interested were off to the scene
with shovels and buckets and as many
men as they could take with them. Hen

the woods near Andrew Conley's and when
they went to dinner the floats of the pit
were off and the wind, which was very
high, blew some live coal into the brush
and leaves and there was soon a brisk
fire going. Prompt work by the volunteers
saved the boys, but William Thackara

Power House Burned.

The power mouse OF the burlington
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad is
mass of ruins. At two o'clock this
morning flames were discovered and with
in half hour the entire building was
ablaze beyond the control of any fire ap-
paratus.
The fire was discovered by John Hulse,
the night Waterman in the power
house. He was in one corner of the
engine room smoking his pipe when
he thought he smelled smoke. The
house by a door, the latter being air tight
Hulse opened the door and found the boiler
room to be filled with fire He ran out to
give the alarm, probably neglecting to
close the door. Edward Baugh, engineer
at the power house, soon arrived, and
broke open a window to get into the
building, and in an instant the flames,
fan ned by the draught, were in the en-
CINE room.
The fire department was soon at the
scene, but they were unable to quench the
fire. The building was corrugated iron,
the roof, window and door frames and the
floor being of wood, chiefly heart pine.
This made a hot and fierce fire, which
burned for over an hour, despite the fact
that water was thrown on it from all di-
rections.
The building was equipped with boil
er, Westinghouse engine and Westing
house generator, all 300 horse power.
These are in bad shape this morning, al
though Mr. Baugh thinks the engine and
boiler will be all right. The generator
and the switchboard are wrecks The
loss has not been estimated, but it will
probably reach $4,000. The railroad
company acts as it's own insurance agent
Edward Baugh lost $3.50 worth of tools
and books valued at $25.
The origin of the fire is mystery. 1t
started in the southeast corner of the
boiler room. When the Waterman opened
the door the room was in blaze. There
were several large oil tanks in the corner,
but they were intact until a long time
after the fire had been burning, explod
ing at least half hour later. There are
many possible causes. The gas from the
banked fires might have exploded and
thrown the Goals on the floor, the roof
above the boiler might have caught, in
fact there are many reasons, but pecu-
liar fact is that right where the fire was
first seen there are two holes burned COM
pletely through the floor, whether from
the inside or outside is not certain.
The power house was put in operation
in 1895, for the purpose of operating the
Burlington branch with electricity. The
was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent which has been quite expensive
and it would not be surprising if the en-
tire plant were now abandoned.
