Interesting and Useful Career.

THEATER FIRE.
Another One in Chicago
 Guests in Hotel Panic Striken.

Chicago, Feb 24.--Another thea&er building in Chicago has been at tackled by fire. The latest structure is the skyscraper known as the Schil- Ter, 16 stories in height, and located half a square west of the Iroquois theater. The Garrick theater, recent ly re-opened, is situated in the Schil- Ter building. Fire started in the 18th floor before daylight and for q time seemed likely to get beyond con- trol, owing to the difficulties of effec- lively reaching the flames at such a lofty location. Guests of the Union hotel adjoining on the west were reused from sleep and some of them were in q panic. The fire damage, however. was small and was con- fined to the four upper stories of the Schiller building.

STONE HOUSE TO co.
An Old Land Mark Condemned by
 Inspector Chatfle d.

Building Inspector Chatfield is plan ming for the overthrow of the stone house in the rear of the Martin block, at the junction of Cole and East Main streets. This Is the old Jessie Porter place and was once quite neat resi- dence. but for some time past it has been in bad shape and the inspector thinks it high time 1t took tumble. There is one tenant in the building, and inasmuch as he does not care to move out just now 1t Is not likely that anything will be done towards con- demning 1t for the present, but iss days are numbered. There are dozens or other places about town which ought to be condemned as tenements, not perhaps because there is danger of them failing, but for sanitary reasons Some of the old basements where hu- man beings live are frightful novels and the owners should be compelled to repair them and put them in proper condition to live in, or stop taking money from people for them. If such holes didn't exist those who occupy them would find more suitable places, and probably at reduced rates, too. With the advent of spring 1t might be well to have q general cleaning up and a peep into some of the rickety ola houses.
