AN EXCELLENT ATTRACTION. When
The Gay MI. Goldstein'' is presented at the
Belfast Opera House on Saturday evening,
Oct. 24th, local playgoers will have an un-
usual treat. This comedy novelty is in no
way similar to the plays with the Hebrew
as their theme for merrment, wherein he is
presented among surroundings of the lower
and unrefned order, but, on the contrary,
the atmosphere in which the author of Gay
Mr.. Godstein has laid his scenes and
happenings is of the most cultured kind, and
it presents series of amusing incidents and
complex situations which cause continued
mirth without resorting to the slightest bit
of vulgarity, ridicule or exaggeraton. This
is novelty in comedy plays that will un-
doubtedly be appreciated, The most COM
petent company possible has been selected
to interpret the different roles, and the
specialties introduced during the perform
ances are high class and quite up-to-date.
ANARROw ESCAPE. A serious fire was
narrowly averted last Friday evening. Eli
Cook. watchman in Leonard Il BarrOwS
snoe factory, in making his rounds about
Z O'Clock found the factory full of smoke
and sounded a signal to call the police.
Chief Engineer Clough, policemen Frisbee
and Nickerson and few others hurried to
the factory, and found that fire had started
in the dust inside a blOW-pipe. The fire
was put out by opening the pipe and using
chemical fire extinguisher and few pals
of water The pipe in which the fire orig
mated is of galvanized sheet iron and
carries away the dust from machines in
various parts of the factory. Had the fire
got well under way the factory would have
been doomed, as the pipes lead to all parts
and would serve as hues to carry the
flames. The fire is supposed to have orig
mated spontaneously from the dust in the
pipe.
