BURTON READS VALMOND
USES GILBERT PARKER'S GREAT
BOOK TO ILLUSTRATE
Thinks Romance a Higher Form Of
Literature Than Realism, and
Says "The Crisis" Is Not
q Great Book.

DR.. Richard Burton gave the first of
his lecture recitals at the Park Congre-
gational church last evening before a
crowded house, which showed the most
enthusiastic appreciation. His subject
was modern romance, as illustrated by
Gilbert Parker's when Valmond Came
to Pontiac" DR.. Burton, in beginning,
spoke of the elements of romantic f1c-
ton, illusion and truth, illustrating the
use of both, the first of which was by
far the more important, the latter very
seldom essential. Mr.. Hamlin Garland
would not have taken kindly to DR.. Bur-
tons remarks concerning romance and
realism. DR.. Burton said that the litera-
ture of romance was in every way vastly
superior and more vital than the litera-
ture of realism. It took higher kind Of
genius to make the former than the lat
ter. Indeed, he thought that he himself
could write a fairly good realistic novel.
In passing, DR.. Burton made a few
thrusts at popular literary taste. He
could not understand why THE Crisis
was so popular. He said he thought 1t
was a great mistake to call it great
book; it was not On the other hand
he was surprised that so few people were
familiar with Frank Norris 1.-THE Octo-
rus,'' which was great book.
Introducing his reading of ''Valmond"
Dr. Burton said that this was by far
the strongest and best work Gilbert PARK
er had done, although popular Judgment
did not attest it. DR.. Buttons reading
of the book was a revelation. He dis
played exceptional abilities as reader,
and not a few of the gifts of the real ac-
tor The sympathetic quality of his voice
made his Interpretation of the story and
his delineation of the characters quite
natural. and the audience paid the
tribute of eager attention as he recited
the story of the Lost Napoleon" mys-
tic, comedian, fantastic, spectacular, fol-
lowing unconsciously with blind instinct
his audacious dream of empire. He read
entire the wonderful chapter in which
Valmond conquers the skeptical sergeant
of the "Old Guard" and declared that
in nothing else that he had written had
Parker approached the absolute genius
of this chapter. He said that the intro
duction, in The end of the book, after
Valmond's death, of the letters proving
Valmond to have really been a son of
Napoleon, was a masterful invention, be-
ing the justification of Valmond in all
that had gone before, and making it a
really great book

With credit of only sS,271.11 shown on

board of park commissioners last night
debated long and laboriously on how

board, after paying its bills, should have
about $4,000 to its credit, but by his Won

Commissioners Hafnm and Aberle, by
some intricate figuring, soon located

provisions, Mr.. McCafdy had taxed the

PLETELY Quilted
CAUSED BY LAMP EXPLOSION
Mrs. FoGg's Dress Was Ignited, but
She SmOthered the Flames
Damage VIII Reach
$4,000.

The beautiful home of Prof F. A. Fogg,
2S5 Summit avenue, was almost complete
ly Quilted by fire shortly after o'clock
last night in less than 40 minutes. The
blaze was caused by a lamp explosion
and Mrs. Fogg had a. narrow escape from
being burned. Her heavy wooden skirt
became ignited but she had the presence
OF mind to kneel down on a large rug
and smother it out The exact damage
could not be ascertained last night, as
Prof. Fogg is out of the city, on his
farm at Luverne, Mimi. 1t is estimated,
however, that the loss will reach almost
81, coo. The house, beautiful twenty
ive-room structure, was built a year ago
last spring, at cost of about $4,000, and
was handsomely furnished. The lower
floor was completely Quilted, and the sec
ond floor was badly scorched. The third
moor was also damaged by smoke and
water. Prof. Fogg's library, which con-
tanned a. number of rare and interesting
volumes, was completely destroyed, as
well as a number of old relics which
the professor and Mrs. Fogg have been
gathering for years. Prof. Fogg carried
only $4,000 insurance on the house and
800 on the contents
Mrs. Fogg was alone in the sitting room
and had just finished writing a, letter to
her husband. The lamp was on the ia
bic, and she picked it up, intending to
pi1SO IL OIA d Seat III the WINDOW. She
IS troubled with rheumatism in one of
her fingers, and as she was putting the
lamp down a sudden twinge of pain caus-
ed her to lay the lamp down quickly,
and it fell to the floor. She picked it
up as quickly as possible and started
for the door to throw it out, but Just as
she had her hands on it, the lamp ex-
ploded. The flames ignited her dress and
at the same time one of the lace curtains
caught fire. Mrs. Fogg at once knelt
on the fur rug and smothered the blaze
IN her dress. Then, without waiting, she
picked up the lamp and running to the
door threw it out. She next aroused her
son, lad about sixteen years old, as
he had retired, and he quickly ran out
into the street, partially dressed, and
gave the alarm. The cook was sleeping
IN her room in the rear part of the house
upstairs, and Mrs. Fogg next went up
and awoke her and led her out into the
open air. By this time the inside of the
mouse was a mass of flames, and the
plaze had good start before the fire
department arrived.
Mrs. Fogg, her son and the cook were
cared for at a. friends house. where they
remained last night.
The exact damage will not be known
until Prof Fogg arrives today.

DELAY MAY BE FATAL
ST. ANTHONY FURNITURE EXPOSE
TION HAS RIVALS IN
THE FIELD
BONDS ARE SELLING FAST
Chicago and st. Louis Planning Sim
liar Enterprises-St. Paul Must
Control Territory Trib-
utary to 1t.

The consolidated committee at its noon
meeting yesterday reported that the sale
of bonds for the st. Anthony furniture
exposition was progressing very favor
ably, and emphasized the Importance OF
quick action.
Since the st. Anthony scheme was agi-
tated two new cities have entered the
field with similar propositions. st. Louis
and Chicago have both announced the in
tention of booming the same project on
a gigantic scale, and this fact makes i'm
mediate action here very essential if the
western territory naturally tributary to
st. Paul is to be controlled from this
point, and not secured by the other cities
1t is of Importance that the furniture
manufacturers of the country be enlisted
In the local enterprise before the larger
cities contract with them for space in
their expositions. The ST. Louis building
is to be the same size as the one at st,
Anthony, but the floor rent is to be over
twice as high. st. Louis can hardly hone
to control more than the southwest part
of the country, while Chicago will have
hard proposition in competing with
Grand Rapids, where the furniture bust
ness is a speciality, while in Chicago this
industry can never monopoliZe the bust
ness reputation of the city, 1t has al
ways been the history Of such expositions
that the firms making exhibits invariably
build warehouses of their own close by.
These are gradually added to, and repair
shops and factories follow in natural or
der until in time they bring to the city
increased business and new contributions
to population.
Everything points to the immediate sue
cess of the st. Anthony exposition Great
enthusiasm is being shown by local mer-
chants who realize that it will be con-
tinually progressive enterprise and of
great benefit to the city as national adj
vertisement and as business PROPOSE
ton.
