CRY OF FIRE
IN EMPIRE
THEATRE

Yesterday afternoon at the Empire
theatre. while the house was in dark
ness. an evil spirit OF mischief possessed
a certain small boy. causing him to cry
Tire" II Is never a safe word 20 fool
with and when II is shouted in a thea !
tire STEPPED in darkness and crowded with
women and children. the world has the
memory OF that dread night of December
80 of last year at the fated 'Troquios."
The boy whose premenditated cry start
ed the audience from their seats and for
q moment promised to cause considerable
disaster. may we'll thank his lucky stars
that Manager A A. spitz OF the theatre
has cool head at exciting moments and
that the well drilled corps OF attaches
at the Empire know just what TO do and
go promptly about their duties under such
circumstances.
The commotion started shortly before
4 o'clock while the time between the acts
was being devoted TO the singing of IL
lustrated songs.
Special officer Frank It. Miller. whose
duty II is TO keep the turbulent spirits
Of the gallery gods in check. had had
difficulty with several obnoxious young
men and the general tone In the gallery
was one OF intense tension.
Then the cry OF "ire" came. the
crowd surged into aisles madly striving
for the doors. The absence OF smoke
| or fame made the danger less imminent
A woman, Miss Mary Spielman OF IL Bath
street, tainted from the strain OF excite
ment Manager Splits hurried from his
| office and standing IN the centre aisle
shouted. Ladies' and gentlemen, please
remain In your seats; there is absolutely
nothing the matter"
Then the calmness and efficiency of the
| employees OF the theatre served them wolI
| The exits were all thrown open. the lights
turned on throughout the house. and ths
| fire curtain dropped into place Tortu-
nately the absence OF material proof Of
IRE restrained the mad rush from the
seats and in a br1cf time quiet was re-
| gained and ths play was continued.
The boys In the gallery simply revelled
| IN the trouble they had caused and
seemed little to realize tho dire possi-
bilities to which their prariks had ex-
| posed the audience down below them.
Their happiness was suuelched, however.

The credit OF the fortunate ending Of
an AFFAIR that might easily have wrought
dire disaster is due to the excellent dis.

men under Manager spitz. Every precau-

In these days when telephone
lines are being established in all
parts of the country and are con-
sidered a necessity well nigh in
dispensable, it may perhaps in
terest some one to learn that tits
but twenty-five years since the
first telephone message was
sent over a wire. That was in
1879 betweenBoston and Lowell,
a distanc of twenty-seven miles.
L Ike all other useful utilities the
telephone was than scoffed at and
declared to be impracticable for
business purposes. Not until
a business transaction involving
thousands of dollars had been
brought to a successful consum-
nation over the line between the
two Massachusetts towns was it
regarded by the public as apracti-
cal utility, Alexander Graham
Bell was the successful man to
bring forth this invention.-Port-
