Prayers for BirIek

Chicago June s.-The Cook County jail was transformed Into a house ot worship for several minutes yesterday when $50 prisoners joined in prayer, asking that the death sentence of Her man Billek be commuted to life im- prisonment.
 The prayer meeting. without equal in the history of the jail, was entirely un- premeditated. Billeks wife and four children were visiting him. Just be- fore they left his daughter. kneeltng near her father. started prayer.
 "oh. God. please save my papa. she said. Word was quickly passed from tier to tier from the women's ward to the ''pen." The building, which q few moments before had been filled with coarse laughter and coarser talk, quiet- ed down and even the most hardened criminals there offered up prayer that Billek's life might be spared.
 BiiIak himself, although he knows that unless Governor Deneen and the Board of Pardons act in his case to- day he will die on the gallows Friday. was apparently cheerful.
 T am confident the Lord will take care of me-" he said. T am innocent of the murder of the Vzral family, and I know Father O'Callaghan and others have worked in my behalf have ob- talned evidence enough to cause the Governor and the Pardon Board to save me from hanging. But if 1t Is decreed that must die, will walk to the scaffold without fear and will repeat there that am innocent"

 While the congregation was kneeI- ing in client prayer, some one informed Father Bonaventuri that the church was afires Without alarming the con- gregation, he cooly stepped over to the priest who was celebrating the mass and requested him to close the service.
 The priest left the altar and spoke to his six assistants, who walked down the aisles and whispered to the pew holders that an insignificant blaze had broken out and they had better leave the building as soon as possible
 At this time the entire roof of the church was a mass of flames. and the Are brigade was hurrying to the burn ing building. Those in the church, not knowing the extent of the fire. fortunately did not realize their peril, and on the ciergy's request made their exit rapidly and in an orderly manner.
 When they reached the streets they found the hreFnen drawn up with lad ders against the walls. The fire fight CTS discovered that nearly doxen fire brands. soaked with petroleum, had been distributed about various parts of the roof.

 The change in the plans of the Em- peror's party in giving up the trip by sea to this port and instead coming by raii. was executed so quietly that the local popuIace are in complete igno- rance of the Emperor's movements.
 A British cruiser is reported this evening off Dago Island, near the en- trance of the Gulf of Finland. inaicat- ing that the royal yacht is nearing port.
 The Victoria and Albert. with the King and Queen on board, probably will proceed at half speed during the night, as the time of arrival Is fixed at about 10 o'clock in the morning. About 2 o'clock tonight a sliSht rain com menced.

"A E4&al Wedding" Presented by Myers
 Stock Coinpany.
 The audiences greeting the Irene Myers Stock Company are becoming more numerous with each performance and the initial presentation of "A Fatal Wedding" Monday night was enjoyed by large assembly.
 Miss Myers. already a favorite in the city played her part with her usual grace and effectiveness and the mem bers of her company played with strength.
 The bill will be continued st the Electric Park Casino.
 At the MaJestte.
 At the Majestic. the Majestic Stock Company have put on that deligh tful old farce Charities Aunt" for the week. It was a happy thought for 1t Is doubt. ful if any bill of the summer will please like the fine old farce which had made hundreds of thousands laugh.
 The excellence with which the play Is staged is surprising, This thorough ness in staging and in presentation has come to be considered us characteristic of the excellent company of performers at the Majestic. The costumes and scenery of the play are all that can be desired. The fact that such fine dis play of scenery characterizes a stock CO4uP1uy VSN4UIul8uCS &E RpVuAaF pEtCC8 has been the subject of favorable con- ment.
 The play has been known to gen. eration of play-goers. but time can not dull its brightness and it's variety new CT grows stale. There are just as many laughs hidden away In this famous farce as there ever was and 1t was for years considered a standard in farces
 Herbert Brenon Is given a subsidiary part in the performance but he makes his character a splendid presentation. He plays the part of Lord Fancourt Babberfy and his work is like 1t has always been. clean-cut and polished.
 Ernest Evers, who plays Brassey and Incidentally the bogus aunt Is excel aent! The humor of the part Is done t0 turn. It could hardly be done any better. The character as 1t Is pre- sented Is something of which the young man will feel proud. He brought out every laugh there was in the part.
 Clarence Oliver William Couklin ren. dered excellent assistance to the sslc- cess of the performance in the two young men parts.
 Miss Elizabeth De Witt was most im- pressive in the part of the real aunt. The excellence of her acting was quite in keeping with her good looks.
 The performance 10 well worthy of, ptronage. It will be enjoyed by all who see 1t.
