the effects Of the fire ficnd. On We'd
nesday night n residence belonging to
the Lourd estate was burned TO the
ground. We did not learn the origin
OF the fire. and as it was ont of the

Mr.. l.. A. Browns family belonging

Mr. Lincoln J. Carter in his lat
est and best Her Only Sim which
comes to the Vendome Opera House,
on Thursday, Nov. 26th, with matt
nee and night performances, has again
demonstrated that the appeal to the
mind and heart arc more potent than
that to the mere physical senses.
Devoid of any sensational mechani
cal efforts, or vaudeville specialties,
1t depends alone for is appeal to the
sympathies on an all absorbing and
skillfully worked out plot, and strong
virile dialogue and quaint wit. In
the cast are John r. Nicholson and J.
Hooker Wright two very popular young
actors and the support is more than
competent. The scenic equipment ID
most complete in every respect, special
sets being used for each scene.
