Also Has Big Fires.

St. Paul, Mimi, June 1S.-The six
story Ryan annex building was COM
pletely Quilted by fire which was dis
covered shortly after o'clock Sunday
morning and which burned fiercely all
day. The estimated loss to the build
ings and the stocks of the occupants
is between $45O, 900 and 100000.
The fire originated in the basement
of the store occupied by the Palace
Clothing company, supposedly from a
defective electric wire.
Several firemen were badly cut by
flying pieces of glass and 81 were
overcome by heat and smoke. Ten OF
these were taken to the hospital and
the rest to their homes. All Of them
will recover, with the possible excep'
ton of Lieutenant William Edwards
who tonight is said to be in critical
condition. The Ryan hotel is across
the alley from the burned structure
but it was not damaged in any way
and there was no alarm among the
guests.

In plot it somewhat resembles

work Of Kyrle Bellew, both plays hav-
ing for their main theme a society
criminal Of great brain, whose polish
ed manner hides great craft and cum.
ming. A comparison of Jim the Pen
man." with "Raffles is said to give the
advantage to the older play, for while
the production of the Bellew piece
fails to reach beneath the surface, a
moral is taught by Youngs four act

an ingenious manner, all revolving
around the adventures Of the penman,
the role of which will be taken by Mr..
Douglas.
For the first time since the opening
of the new Columbia patrons of
the company will this week see Mr..
Douglas in the role of villain, a part
which he seldom assumes. The part
of James Ralston, the forger, is re-
ported to be favorite one with Mr..
Douglas, however. Other members of
the company will also have congenial
roles. Miss Henriette Browne will
take the part of Nina Ralston, a role
which she portrayed with great sue
cess in the east. Charles Wyngate
will he cast as Captain Redwood,
while Donald Meek will be seen as
George Ralston.

international arrangement for the esti.

each year, as recommended by the
international agricultural conference
recently held in Rome, under the
auspices of the king of Italy. A
protocol has been drafter carrying the
idea into effect, but the approval OF
the senate is necessary to make eff.

Henrietta Crossman.

Henrietta Crosman, the actress,
who is booked to pay her first profess
sional visit to Spokane, escaped that
bitter struggle which SO frequently is
cited in connection with the upward
climb on the stage. Whether from
talent or good fortune, or both, she
became leading woman for Edmond
Collier after she had been on the
stage only one season. Next she
was taken into the late Augstin Days
famous company, going thence to
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater
company, from which she was trans
ferred to the management Of Charles
Frohman. The latter organized the
company known as Frohman's come
dians and placed Miss Crosman at its
head. Thus it will be seen that she
speedily won recognition in New
York.

sPokANE's LEADING THEATERs.
Hawaiian Band at Spokane.


From the far of Hawaiian islands
comes the Royal Hawaiian band Of 50
musicians and singers to the Spokane
theater Wednesday and Thursday
evening, with Thursday matinee.
This organization was established in
1871 by Captain H. Berger Of the Ger.
man army, who was sent to the Ha-
waiian islands by the first emperor of
Germany to form military band.
The great charm Of the Royal Ha:
waiian band is its versatility, every
member Of the band playing from five
to 10 instruments and also being a
trained singer. The programs given
by the band are varied. including mill
tary and operate music, both by the
military band and stringed orchestra,
singing by the choir, selections by the
glee club, numbers by the mandolin,
banjo and guitar clubs and solo vocal
numbers by singers of both sexes.
