Fire Department Kept Busy.

The city volunteer fire company have
had considerable work to do this last
week, having to contend with two nom
false alarm fires.
On Friday afternoon the barn in the
rear of the house formerly occupied by
l.. G. Humans family caught fire in
some mysterious manner, perhaps spon-
taneous combustion, and was practically
destroyed, Notwithstanding the prompt
action of the department.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock the
home of Fred A. Cleveland on north
Sixth street was partially burned down
and none of the household effects were
saved. The insurance, however, will
cover the loss. The fire was caused by a
lamp which slipped from Mr.. Cleveland's
hands and exploded upon the parlor
carpet. In less than a minute every
thing in the parlor and adjoining room
was in blaze. The frame of the house
was saved by the hard work of the fire
department.

SIR HENRY IRVING.

SIR HENRY IRVING.
in company with Virgil remind one
somewhat of ULYSSES" the Stephen
Phillips play which Charles Frohman
brought over from England this sea-
son.
Next to Sir Henry as Dante, the most
praiseworthy characterizations in the
play are William Mollison as Cardinal
Colonna, Laura Burt as Helen of Swa-
Dante's daughter. Miss Burt, in the
prologue, and Mr.. MoIlison. in the last
act, are given splendid opportunities
to rise to heights. and in no sense do
I they fall short
The authors of the play, Sardou and,
Moreau, have not held closely to the
actual life Of Dante, choosing rather
to symbolic him as great influence
for good, spirit protesting against
the cruelty of. the times, the fourteenth
century. and tragically prophetic.
The play opens some ten years after
the death Of Beatrice, the object of
I
/ in his works, and it is on the following
events, partly invented by the drama
lists, partly historical, that the au-
thors have founded the story Of their
play: " e..
Among the girl friends Of Beatrice was
one Pia del Tolomei, who has been forced
into a loveless marriage with Nello della
Pietra, depraved and ferocious Floren-
tine magnate. The unhappy young wife
has, through her intimacy with Beatrice,
become acquainted with Dante, and at the
death Of Beatrice the mutual bereavement
Of the two has gradually developed into
an ardent mutual love. During Nello's
absence on affairs Of state child Gem.

save his sisters reputation Pia's brother,
Ettore, has adopted Comma, allowing her
to pass as his own daughter. Years
elapse, Dante's life Of exile preventing
him from seeing either the mother or the
child Ettore, the brother of Pia, dies,
leaving his ostensible daughter to the
charge of Francesca da Rimini, the wife
Of the misshapen Malatesta and a close
friend of Pia. At this point Sardou and

Rescuina a Man Overheard,

Provided one can keep afloat a few

that somebody gives an alarm, to fall
overheard in midocean does not neces-
sarily mean that one must drown.
While a German liner was going at
express speed the other day q crazed
coal passer jumped from the midship
rail. Someone saw him, an alarm was
raised, instantly, the great vessel
swung on her keel, and q boats crew
got away, and in eight minutes from
the time the poor fellow jumped he
was in the lifeboat. There need be no
experimenting to test the efficiency OF
the arrangements for rescue, but since
accidents do happen It is comforting
to know that such system and disci-
pline are the rule Of the Atlantic

Surely "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" was never more artistically
and at the same time deliberately
shown than in its present form at the
new New Amsterdam theater, with
Nat G. Goodwin in the leading role Of
Bottom. "a spectacular musical com
edy"-this up to date legend describes
to q nicely the familiar and enjoyable
Shakespearean production as put be-
fore the public by Klaw s. Erlanger.
The costumes and scenery and cleo
trical effects are alluring, to say the
least. The music, adapted from Men
delssohn by Victor Herbert, is deli
cious and certainly is not minor ele-
ment when considering the production
az a whole.
The richness Of the plays investiture
is entirely in accordance with the fea-
lures Of the new theater, which Ger
tainly takes first rank among New
York's playhouses in point Of beauty,
convenience and completeness Of de-
tail. The New Amsterdam theater cost
a total Of $1,700,000, has a seating ca
pacity of 1900, and view Of the in
terror decorations alone is worth an
admission fee.
A long frieze in the lobby illustrates
the Shakespearean and Wagnerian
drama. There are twelve panels by
Perry - five Shakespearean - Macbeth
and the witches, the battle of .Bos-
worth field, Hamlet and his fathers
ghost, Rosalind in the forest of Ar
den spying on the lovelorn Orlando and
Ttania and Bottom in "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" There are also five
Wagnerian panels expressive of the
cycle Of Wagner's tetralogy running
thus from the left: First, Aldricht's
advent in the lair Of the Rhine maid
ems, wrestling from them the mystic
gold; second, Siegfried's battle with
the dragon while Brunehild sleeps in
the distant fiery mountain; third, the
awakening Of Brunehild by Siegfried's
kiss; fourth, the death Of Siegfried;
fifth, the fulfllment of the curse.
Mr.. GOodwin's illustration of Bottom
distills every possible drop of humor
lurking in the character He is scream
ingly funny and brings in business
that displays the histrionic shortcom-
1ngs Of the bombastic weaver with
striking effect. Edmund D. Lyon is a
splendid Ounce, the carpenter; Flor

Some of the survivors were
q ven n sane and fought
furiously against the rescuers.
Dazed, listless survivors were
found sitting on cars or living on
the floor, careless of whether thew
lived or died. Near the 18th level
20 bodies were found strewn
over pile of debris which the
men had >triven to surmount be-
fore they were overcome bv the
deadly fumes. Some were seated
and blackened by flames, but all
had died crawling towards fresh
air. Ire ii rescures who penetrat-
ed thus far were too weak to bring
out n body.
For hours the scene at the
mouth of the level was heart
moving, With clothes and hair
awry, mothers, wives, sweethearts

weeping and wringing their hands.
Many sat on shattered timbers
blown from the miue's mouth, in

An Alabama Official Resis

Shot Down.

Scottsboro, Ala, , June 30. -

taken from Jail last night and
hanged by Il mob. The negro
was arrested Sunday for an ut.
tempt to criminally assault Miss
Alma, the 19-year old daughter
of DR.. b. b. Smith.
Sheriff Austin, in charge of the
jail, did all that was possible to
defend the prisoner from the mob
who fired on him. Two of the
shots took effect in the sheriff $
arm and leg. The mob secured
the keys to Digg's cell from the
sheritf's daughter and quickly
secured the negro, whom they
hanged to a nearby telegraph
pole.
The sheriff made game fight
for the negro's life. Mounting
the steps he seized two pistols
and said he would kill any one
that attempted to come up. The
threat was met with a volley and
the sheriff emptied his revolver
in reply. Before he could reload
he was shot down. The daughter
of the sheriff ran to her father
and was at once covered by pis>
tol in the hands of member OF
the mob and made to deliver the
keys to the cell IN which the ne
gro was confined.
