CLAIMS ENEMIES
BURNED HIS STORE
BUILDING is DESTROYED BY
FIRE
Renter Who Is Said to Have Run
Blind Pig In Rear Is Blamed.
Contents Heavily
Insured

Fire of incendiary origin destroyed
the one-story frame grocery store of
N. P, Kovasvich at 631 College street,
with its contents, at IL o'clock last
night.
The building was owned by A. e.
Weiss, real estate dealer living at 627
College street, and 1t is the opinion of
the police and of Weiss that the build
ing was fired for revenge because of his
activity in aiding the police in break
ing up blind pig which was run in
the rear of the place.
Kovasvich, the proprietor of the
store, and the man alleged to have been
running the blind pig, has disappeared
and could not be found by the police
last night.
Three weeks ago Weiss complained
to the police Of the blind pig run on his
premises by renters, and Patrolman
Leon in making an arrest there was
almost mobbed and both he and Weiss
were roughly handled by a number of
Greeks who live in the neighborhood.
The fire Of last night was started in
the center of the store and appears to
have been started by the spreading of
coal oil and then firing it.
When the fire apparatus arrived the
blaze had gained such headway that it
it's progress.
The surrounding property was saved
with much difficulty.
When search was made for Kovas-
vich it was found that he had diSap-
peared. It is alleged the stock of goods
In the store had been heavily insured
within the past few days, and the loss
is estimated at 5000. The value of the
building is placed at $500.

The last grand opera prima donna
booked for this city this season is Lii
lian Blauvelt, who comes with associ-
ate artists as the last number on the
great philharmonic course at Simpson
auditorium, next Thursday evening,
March 10. The reasons are apparent
why Nine Blauvelt is the most be-
loved prima donna of the day, though
the youngest. Her versatility is most
remarkable When Joe Weber, the
king of elegant burlesque, was about
to produce his famous travesty of 'Lo-
hengrin," he realized that his success
would depend on securing a prima dom
ma whose name was familiar among
the patrons of grand opera. The artist
would also be required to meet the ex-
acting demands of comic opera, with
out doing violence TO the dignity per-
tanning to her exalted position. It
would seem too much to expect, but
Weber found one artist that would ex-
actly meet his requirements. 1t was
Blauvelt. Small wonder that amuse-
ment seekers by thousands fiocked to
his theater on Broadway 20 see and
bear the great artist whose name was

Only one Negro holding po-

Negro papers that helped bring
victory to the g. O. p, and yet
these fellows expect the support
of the press so that they can hold
their jobs; when they lose their
position they come running to
the editor to say something good
about them. What do you job
holders think the editor keeps
his family on? And how do you
think we pay the printers for
setting up those flowery articles
about you? You are no better

There are many of them in the

are also guilty. What they are
thinking about by
so negligent or mean acts. we
are at a loss to even imagine.
While have not looked over the
situation to see if the above is
correct in the entirety, we are
sure its too nearly correct to be
objected to. AS we have said
often, it is hard to get colored
people to even patronize the ad-
vertisers.
