COURIER-JOURNAL BURNED OUT
Damage Estimated at More Than q
Half Million, But the Plant Was
Well Insured.

Louisville. Ky. Aug. 30.-The Cou-
rier-Journal building at Fourth and
Green street. in which are located the
plants of the Courier-Journal and
Evening Times. was destroyed by fire
early today. The structure was five
stories high and occupied half a
block.
The fire started at the top OF an
elevator shaft. supposedly from defec-
tive insulation o. electric wires, and
spread with great rapidity.
The editorial and reportorial forces
Of the Courier-JournaI stuck to the
building in the hope that the blaze
would be subdued and that they could
issue paper. They were caught
mapping with fire at all exits and had
to be taken out on ladders
The linotype machines and press
es were located in a reinforced section
Of the building and the damage to
them was comparatively light. The
remaining contents Of the building are
almost a total loss. The damage on
building and contents is estimated at
about s65O.0O0, we'll insured.

BY the glamour aud danger Of clan

50 attractive to her from the other
side Of the gap, and with the glamour
rubbed off, little difficulty is exper-
fenced in teaching her own mind and
showing 10 her that she really loves
her husband more than her lover.
! The situation of a supposedly di-
vorced woman meeting her own hus-
band clandestineiy, while the real
lover in the case is given the chance
and made to play the outraged hus-
band, is rich in possibilities for much
droll wit and 5umor, Of which both
Miss Davis and Mr.. Dexter take full
advantage. The support accorded the
cO-stars in last nights production Is
not as good as they should have been,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
show is distinctly woven about these
two characters. When the rough parts
have been rubbed of by a little
more practice, a Question Of Hus-
bands will furnish an evening Of
real enjoyment for those who may
be fortunate enough TO witness its
production when such a change Of
condition takes place.
