WASHINGTON

The usual big house saw the
usual satisfactory opening of the
new vaudeville bill last night. 1t
is good all through with genuine
novelty in the revival of the panto-
mime play by Zazzell & Vernon Co.
Their sketch is comedy by eye
sight alone and entirely entertain
ing at that. The Manuel Roman
Co. in musical comedy is another
deserved hit. The hair-raiser is put
on by CadieuX on the slack wire
and it is the genuine article. Elise
Ridgeway has capable company
in neat military sketch and Elean-
or Blanchard is clever in imperson-
alton. The athletic features is fur
nished by Lindstrom & Anderson.

ONE LIFE AND
$4,000 LOST

Arthur d. Jones, agent for the
Spokane club building, which
caught fire at GAS o'clock Saturday
night and resulted in the death OF
Dwight c. oJhnson, today stated
that preparations for rebuilding the
destroyed upper story will be start
ed at once. The property loss, Mr..
Jones figures, was between $25 1000
and 100000 to the building alone.
1t is covered by insurance. The loss
to the club has been estimated at
close to $4,000, including a $4,000
stock of liquors and expensive fur
niture.
Despite the fact that J. F. Baugh-
man, the steward, has insisted that
the fire did not originate in the
kitchen, 1t is pretty generally &C
knowledged by others that the Gus
tom Of leaving grease around was
what caused the destructive confla.

EDUCATIONAL.
Presbyterian Efforts.

The interest of Presbyterians in schools
has made them the supporters of them
wherever practicable. But their special
interest in an educated ministry made
them value classical education. They
were the foremost advocates of this in
Pennsylvania during the eighteenth cen
fury. Four institutions of this kind bear
testimony to this
First of all was the Log College of the
Neshaminy. About twenty miles north
OF Philadelphia, near the village of Harris
vile, was established this earliest CLASH
Cal school in 1725. 1t illustrates Presi-
dent Gartields definition of a university:
"A log with a student on one end and
Mark Hopkins on the other" William Ten
nent was poor minister with four boys
One of them had been partially trained
before coming to this country Perhaps
Catharine Kennedy, his wife, was no
unimportant coadjutor, as it was her re-
latlonshlp to William Logan, PENIS
agent which prompted him to give fifty
acres to help the institution, though the
Scoth-Irish Quaker had lost his love for
Presbyterianism. 1t never had more than
ten known students, besides Tennent's |
four sons But it had very important
consequences to the Presbyterian Church |
1t saved classical education to the first
generation Of Pennsylvania. His four
sons became ministers, as did all the rest
About one-half of these became the most
devoted coadjutors of Whitefield. He
himself paid two visits to the Log College,
and makes the fullest acknowledgment
of their aid The other half became the
founders of other Log Colleges-Fagg's
Manor, New London and Nottingham.
These, with Pequae, furnished class of
ministers which sent forth the min
listers who gave character to the
Presbyterian ministry, and educated gov
errors, statesmen and professional men,
who were large part of the Continental
Congress and the leading professional
men Of the day They and their scholars

grown up in Western Pennsylvania, and

SIDEWALK ORDINANCE
 WILL BE ENFORCED
Many Complaints Lodged With City Authorities Against Obstructing the Streets and Sidewalks.

Many recent complaints have been received by the city authorities in re- gard to Instructions being placed on sidewalks and streets. These com plaints have been referred to Marshal Moore, who says he will proceed against the offending parties after they have been given due notice through the columns of the papers. If the obstruc tions are not removed from the streets and sidewalks by Monday, action may be expected from the police department shortly after.
 The ordinance regulating sidewalk displays and street obstructions is specific and for the benefit of all con cerned is herewith printed in full:
 Sec. 70. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to occupy any part of any street or sidewalk be- between the hours of am. and 5p.m, for the display of goods, wares, mer- chandise or personal property for sale, or for the keeping of any goods or merchandise, boxes crates, or recepti- cles of any kind, that are or have been used for the shipping of goods or packing of such, or any personal prop crty or machinery of any kind.
 Any violation Of this section will be deemed a misdemeanor and punished accordingly.
 Several of the firms against whom complaints have been lodged are blacksmith shops at First and Jeffer- son streets and at Washington and Fourth avenue. The cold storage es- tablishment on Second street between Washington and Adams and a number of street signs.
