The Chorus Lady" when this
actress appears at the Grand Opera
house on September 7th. she will have
played the part of Patricia O'Brien
some 2060 times. All that remains of
the original costume which has been
so much copied by imitators of Patri-
cia is the coat. Even this garment has
been refined eight times and repaired
so often that now it is little more than
a mass of patches. Miss Stahl would
not exchange it, however, for the best
coat that was ever made, for she looks
on it as a sort of mascot During her
appearance in this role she has out
worn eight hats, twenty belts, ten
pairs of slippers, eight petticoats, p
pairs of stockings and seven black
skirts The APPAREL is old, but the play
is new. for Miss Stahl is booked by
Henry B. Harris for three years in
the future in territory which has not
yet been touched.

SMALL FIRE IN
CLOTHING STORE
BLAZE IN MAIN STREET STORE
CAUSES LOSS
OF $50.

Fire, which probably smouldered all
night, was discovered in the Clarke
Kirkman store this morning by Ed
ward Reese, of the Model Boot shop,
when he went to work at about
o'clock this morning. The two stores
mentioned are connected by openings
between the partitions and both rooms
We're filled with smoke.
Reese went to the rear of the store,
from where the smoke seemed to pc
ing. He went to the phone and called
al, the fire department, but two times
which he gave up and went after the
fire.
Crawling on his hands and knees he
managed to get to the back doors, which
he opened and let enough smoke out
so that he could locate the fire, which
was merely smouldering in the wooden
clothing, and was not blazing at ALL
few bucketsful of water sufficed
to extinguish it. A pile or smoking
Jackets and trousers were destroyed.
The damage is not known. but PROB
ably amounts to about $3.50. which is
fully covered by insurance in five or
six companies. The stock of the shoe
store was damaged to some extent by
smoke.
Asked about the failure of central
to give the right number, Manager
Bacon of the telephone company said
this morning:
"The number was merely one of a
thousand which the girls have to an
swer and the mistake is as natural as
any other. We have been unusually
successful in reporting fires over the
phone and this is the first trouble we
have ever had Mistakes will occur,
if there is any way to stop them the
company would be indeed glad to learn
of it. But this time it seemed that
there was a mistake. We trust, how
ever, the public will remember that
there have been a hundred fires prop
erly reported against his one, which
happened to get mixed up"

How Islands Get Forests.

Darwin explains how islands get
their forest growth III this manner: He
took from the foot of wOOdcOck a
cake of dry earth in which was a. seed
of the load rust. He planted the seed,
and it terminated and lowered. Pro-
fessor Newton sent him the leg of a
partridge which had been wounded and
unable to fly. Attached to it was a
clOd of earth weighing six and One-half
ounces. He broke up the clod and
placed it under a bell glass. No few
er than so plants sprang from it, 1t is
the more interesting TO know that the
clod of earth containing this treasury
was kept three years before planting.
1t is believed in this manner seeds of
various trees have been carried and de-
posted on far-away islands where the
product has grown and increased.
