FAIR HAVEN.
Mrs. Frederick Mansfield Cele
 brates 81st Birthday s District Notes.

There was a fire in Anton Basser- mans thre story building at POT Grand avenue, corner of Ferry street, yester- day afternoon at about 1 o'clock and still alarm was sent to Steamer 5s house. The chemical apparatus was sent, but it was soon found that it was difficult fire to reach. The fire was In the east end of the building where 8 chimney runs up from the side. Pro- bably the fire had been smouldering for some time and was discovered by some person passing through the alleyway, who saw the smoke. The blaze had not broken out but 1t would soon have done so and the trouble was discovered just in time. The firemen cut through the side of the wooden wall and Into MT. Bassermans store, which occupies the whole lower floor. A hole about six feet square was cut away and chemi
 calls were applied. Then 1t was found that the fire had eaten through the wall high up in the second story and it was necessary to cut through the wall there. The remainder of the fire was soon extingulshed. Probably the loss
 
 lected and there was quite little ex- citement for time. The entire build
 ing is occupied by MT, Bassermah, who owns the property. Above the store {. are the family apartments. Had the
 fire started Tn the night the building
 must have been badly damaged There
 have been more than the usual number
 of still alarms in the Fair Haven dis trct this week, but fortunately all have
 been attended with but small losses. Yesterday was the eighty-frst anni- { versary of Mrs. Frederick Mansfield's < birthday and in the afternoon a number X of the ladies of the, Aid society of the

VAUDEVILLE TO HOLD
SWAY At THE GRAND
Sullivan and Consodinc Circuit to
Break Into the Amusement
Game In Salt Lake.

d . -.
From Denver comes word that tue
Grand theater here is to open during
Christmas week with vaudeville, tax
Ing the same attractions which nightly
pack the Majestic and other vaudeville
theaters on the Sullivan g. Consodine
circuit. II the same programs are
carried this will mean that there Will
be seven acts including the pictures
which will be presented every afternoon
with two performances nightly, the
prices being TO- 20 and 80 cents.
Manager Cox of the Grand when seen
regarding the proposed change declared
that his theater was booked for the
next month and as yet he had received
no orders to cancel dates. He admit
ted that the proposition of putting on
vaudeville had been discussed but de-
5clared that nothing definite. as far as
he knew. had been concluded.
The Sullivan and Consodine attrac-
tons are of the popular price order and
include a number of lesser acts which
in the past have appeared on the Or
pheum circuit.
The fact that Martirt Beck of the Or
pheum has invaded the Consodine ter
ritory In Portland, Seattle, Butte and
other towns of the west has probably
moved the Consodine people to break
their agreement and enter the local
field again.

be a most serious fire was extinguish-
ed in its lncipiency in the Deseret
National Bank building last evening.

neys Moyle & VanCott, and was dis
covered quite by accident.
Persons standing on the Godbe-
Pitts corner saw through south win

the inner rooms, and promptly sent
in fire alarm The department made
a run to the place and soon had the
fire under control. but not before con-
siderable damage had been done to
the woodwork in the room, to office
furniture, fixtures and carpets.
The blaze started Immediately
above the casing Of a door, eating
it's way downward and finally max
ing good inroads otto the room. For
merly a solid partition was on that
side of the room, but when the part of
tho building that once belonged to the

were cut through. Where the door was
made chimney had stood and the
workmen were careless in filling up

ficiently to catch the casing.

Letters to Santa Claus
Pour Into Postoffffice.

Pole" and Postmaster Thomas said
that he was only sorry the. rural free
delivery system had not been extended
that tar.
An interesting question IS raised by
these letters. A prominent member
of the E,lks club asked this morning
whether his club couldn't be designated
as Santa Claus address instead of the
dead letter office, so that an opportuni-
ty might be offered to investigate the
letters and see that some Of the chill
dren received what their fancy painted
as an ideal Christmas present.
Postmaster Thomas says that he Is
confident that the department at.
Washington would quickly authorize
the delivery of the letters to any per-
son willing to assume the RESPONSE
biities of being Santa Claus for tile
final few weeks before Christmas. In
Chicago a number Of philanthropically
inclined persons applied to have Santa
Claus mall addressed to them, and tho
department readily consented. For this
reason Chicago's mail of that kind
never reaches the dead letter office.
