Two Flres rhuraday.

There were two fires last Thursday In
this city which were both quite destruc.
tive, The first fire was at the residence
occupied by F, A, Frame on Sherman
East and occurred at about 700, The
fire started from a defective nue and a
large part Of the roof was burned and
other parts OF the house badly damaged,
Two or three rooms were not much
damaged however, and the family Is liy-
ing in them while the house is being
repaired Most Of the household goods
were saved.
The second fire was some ten or
eleven blocks run, was at the home Of
II W, Snyder at 73a Sherman East,
The fire was under considerable headway
before the alarm was turned In. The
house was practically destroyed, Part Of
The furniture was gotten out and saved
however,
At the first fire there was another
bunglng Of the location, 1t was given
to the fire department as being on Sew
enth Street East instead OF Sherman,
The fire wagon made long and useless
run up there and lost most valuable
time. Such mistakes have been very
frequent this spring, there being two OF
them in one day some time ago, Such
an error might cause the city very
costly conAagraton on some windy day,
1t is difficult to say where the fault lies
but It Is sufficient to say that these mis-
takes have have not occurred ill this
spring, 1t Is not believed to be any
fault Of the fire department,

Progress for n Y, M. c A.

The prospects are very good Tor the
organization Of Young Mems Christian
Association in this city in the near future,
According to the figures given by the
assistant State secretary, Mr., Bailey, It
will require from $50 to 400 members,
paying dues regularly and giving it their
support, in order to maintain the organi-
zation with It's accompaniment Of the
reading rooms, bath rooms, gymnasium,
ect, A committee Of the young men Of
the city who are active in such work has
been canvassing for the names Of those
who are willing to join and help support
the institution, At the last meeting Of
this committee which was the latter part
Of the week, they had secured about
$50 names. Since they have been at
work, but 1t is not known at this writing
how many additional names have been
secured.
The Y, NJ. c. A, is one of the most

Mrs, H. Fierce Dead.

Mrs. Fierce, wife of attorney Henry
Fierce, died at her home in the extreme
north part Of this city at about four
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. She has
been i'll for many months with malady
that is usually incurablc. In fact she
was very i'll about year ago but sp-
parently recovered the latter part of the
season. But the germs of the disease
still fingered with her and quite carly
in the winter she was taken down. The
physicians gave little or no encourage
ment for her permanent recovery from
the first For many weeks she has lr.
gered between life and death and it was
remarkable how long she clung to life
She leaves a family of husband and
six children, the Youngest being little
boy of only seven or eight years old
Many friends are grieved at her death
and extend to the husband and family
their deepest sympathy,

Theatre Controversy Settled.

The matter of the mechanics liens
which were filed against the Shaw
Theatre along in the winter came up
for determination in the district court
last week, After the cause had gone
to trial the attorneys for the various in.
terests got together and adjusted their
difficulties by asking for the appoint
ment of Mr., Casner as receiver. The
threatre has been under the manage
ment of Mr.. Casner during the latter
part of the season and since he assumed
control has been doing we'll, both for the
management and the patrons Of the
drama in Hutchinson.
Under Mr.. Casner's management as
receiver it is announced that the front
Office rooms in connection with the
building will be completed and before
cold weather the heating apparatus
will be improved so as to make it COM
plete and first class play house, slightly

The Wells Fargo Express Co. has
placed ban on cigarette smokers.
Very many of the larger corporations
that employ large numbers of men have
extended the orders against employing
men addicted to liquor, but not many
have extended issued order so far as to in
clude cigarettes, First the Wells Fargo
issued its order against the smoking OF
cigarettes while on duty, but it has now
made It so broad as to forbid the use OF
them either on or off duty Large firms
EMPLOY ing so many men want the most
and best service possible and the Wells
Fargo thinks that a man who smokes
cigarettes is not capable Of doing his
best. They want men Of clear and com.
petent brains and there is a natural and
automatic animosity between cigarettes
and brains.

aYoRK sTATE FoLKs..

If the critics of bad shows and the cynics who are never pleased It any theatrical performance had been pres- ent at Polls theater last night, they would have witnessed q performance the like of which has not been seen in this city in many seasons. Arthur Sidman died just when he was about to enter upon what would undoubtedly have been a successful season as q
 star in his own drama of village life, entitled sYoFk State Folks" ThIs pastoral play was presented for the first time in this city last evening.
 York State Folks" is realistic in it's transfer of village life to the stage. Its characters are real people, and the in cidents are such as might easily occur in rural community. It has several strong dramatic moments in which the note is never forced; it contains more than one touch of nature in it's truth full and homely pathos, and a quaint spirit of comedy peryades the play.
 It is not marred by the objectionable
 element which has entered into so
 many many of these rural dramas
 where the plot turns upon woman's wrong. Here there is no suggestion of that kind. The two central figures round which the play revolves are a well contrasted pair, one. a coarse fibred man, stubborn and narrow
 minded, who wishes to rule every one
 he comes in contact with: who thinks that he has the right to dictate 10 all
 whom he has helped or who happens to belong to his family; the other q gentle. loyeable old organist The op- position of the former to his sons tfe- sire to marry the organist's daughter furnishes the theme for the drama. and interwoven with it is a secondary love story between another pair of lnvnrs Resides the principal person. ages in the play, a pair of clever chil- dren give some pretty touches to the domestic side of the drama. and a series of village "characters'' provide fun enough to keep the audience laughing most of the time. This chief character was assumed by the author of the play. Arthur Sidman. who died unexpectedly last summer just as he had put the finishing touches to the play and had rehearsed it up to the point of his approval. The role was assumed last night by Ray L. Royce, and his performance of it was clever and acceptable, the blending of the hr- nor and sentiment of the part being at once refined and forcible. Mir Royce was laboring under difficulties last night and difficulties of the sever est kind. Some ten days ago he was told in New York that he must 1uit work for time or he would be down with pneumonia. There was no un- derstudy to take his part and he has persisted in going on with the play until such time as an understudy can be secured. He deserves all tl.e more credit and the whole perform ance certainly deserved a better at- tendance. and if it returns here again this season it will surely get it.
