and their new play and company, 1t is
said, will amply fulfill the anticipa-

carried her audience with her through
the stormy experiences of Hester Trent,

her final attainment of happiness. as but
few actresses of the present day are
capable of doing, and displayed powers
of emotional acting only hinted at in her
former appearances. which demonstrated
the justice of her claim to be ranked
among the great women of the stage.
Her pitlful pleading for sympathy. for
kindness. for generosity, turning into
fierce rebellion and defiance and then
dropping into the extreme of self abase-
ment, contrition and remorse as she
confesses her deception to Lady Claver-

of sustained force and power of act

BIG BLAZE IN NORFOLK.
Pier, Lumber and Oil Go Up in
Flames


NORFOLK, Va, January PA destruc-
tive fire yesterday afternoon visited the
plant of the Atlantic Creosoting and Wood
Preserving Works. on the east branch Of the
Elizabeth river, just beyond the city limits.
Lumber, both creosoted and uncreosoted,
to the extent Of many thousands of feet,
2 500 barrels of oil and a pier were de-
stroyed, entailing loss estimated by Gen.
eral Manager w. H. Wales, jr., at between
$25 600 and $4,000, but II is thought the
damage will prove much heavier after an
account has been taken of the burned prop
erty The loss is partly covered by insur-
ance.
The large quantities of oil burned made
it one of the most spectacular day fires ever
seen here. Thousands of people were In the
streets as a result of the fine weather, and
perhaps 10000 of them witnessed the fire.
Marines and bluejackets from the naval
training station did heroic work at the fire.
1t was plainly visible from the station and
they volunteered for service Through their
thousands of dollars worth Of property was
saved. They worked like Trojans, and when
the flames had been suppressed. early in the
evening. they were as grimy as any fremen
that ever fought flames
One Of the bluejackets was overcome, but
recovered.
An insufficiency of water greatly ham,
pered the work, there being but two hy-
drants to draw from, and an insufficient
quantity of hose.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from sparks from the Norfolk and Western
locomotive drawing the "CannonbalP' train
which arrived here shortly before noon. A
marsh separates the plant from the Nor
folk and Western tracks. Shortly after the
train passed the dry rushes in the marsh
were observed to be burning. Workmen
oaAa IN IN rn1Yf ha Ar nd
thought they had done so, but by 2:3O
O. clock in the afternoon the fire had crept up
to the plant and the combustible material
there was soon a mass of flames.
The plant proper. with its costly machin-
cry, did not burn, being some distance
away. The works Is now engaged in tuf ming
out a quantity of creosoted piles and other
lumber for the Panama canal, and also for
the jamestown exposition.
The Atlantic Creosoting Works is located
on the Berkeley side Of the eastern branch
of the Elizabeth river. east Of the Norfolk
and Western railroad iron bridge. It is
across the river from Brambleton, which is
on the Norfolk side, nearly a quarter Of a
mile distant.
About 1t are the Cotton Oil and Fiber
Company's works. quite an extensive plant;
Colonna's shipyard and railway and a stock
yard. In the vicinity are q large number
of homes occupied by the working popula-
ton.

NEW DOG AT WHITE HOUSE.
Fighter Is Sent to Take the Place of
the Vanquished Pete.

Washington. June IA big, ugly
looking bulldob, with the head of
pugilist and legs crooked into an
sorts of shapes, came to the white
house today by express. The beast
arrived in a crate and with II letter
from S. W. Smith, of Celina. Ohio,
who had said he had heard that Pete
was getting licked and thought he'd
send a substitute.
The dog was addressed to the pres
ident. Secretary Loeb was at a loss
to know what to do with him. and
tried yainly to give him away. Fall
In this he was chained up in Mr..
Loeb's Office.
The white house employees are fear
full that Pete will return unexpected
ly from the hospital and that when
this happens there will be a tragedy
unless the Ohio dog is disposed of in
the meantime.
