Forest Fires Near AuuapoIis

The fourth of a series of forest
fires in the immediate vicinity of An
napolis. was started on Sunday in the
woods of Mr.. Edward Weiss, near
Salem Church. The fire burned for
two days and spread over all of Mr..
Weiss wood land, and over about
twenty acres of woods belonging to
Messrs. Shellman B. Brown and c..
Nelson Dugan.
Considerable damage was done to
small timber. There were three fires
in that immediate neighborhood last
spring when Judge Brashears, Mr..
Keyes and Messrs. Brown and Du-
gan were heavy losers. The fire of
Sunday was started in the middle of
the woods, probably by trespassers.

Charles Frohman will present Marie
Doro in William Gillette's new comedy,
Electricity, and the occasion will be
the first time there of both star and

seasons in "Clarice, The Morals of
Marcus" and The Richest Girl. "
Her role in Electricity, written es.
pecially for her, shows her to most eX-
cellent advantage. William Gillette.

known to need introduction. 1t may
be mentioned. however. that he has to
his credit a remarkable list of sue
cesses, including Secret Service, =
The Private Secretary" Sherlock
Homes, " Held by the Enemy" and
TOO Much Johnson.

Mr.. Gillette's best vein, is for the most
part comedy, with occasional dashes of
genuine sentiment, and with much of
the authors homely and wholesome
American philosophy The story con-
Germs a wealthy girl who. through a
sudden interest in Socialism, resolves
to marry only workingman. An i'm
mensely rich young fellow, determined
to win her brides a working man to let
him assume his name and job. The
girl promptly falls in love with the
masquerader. The real workingman,
however, is engaged to be married. and,
owing to the fact of the other man

funny complications cnsue. which end
only in the last act with the exposure
of the lover.
There will be the usual matinees on

FRESNO RAISIN
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Worlds Crop 100000 Tons
Short as Compared With
Last Year

FRESNO, Sept. 17.-That the raisin
crop Of the world is 100000 tons short
as compared with last year is the sub
stance of a report made today to the
board of supervisors by George Rob
ertson, county statistician. The figures
for foreign countries were obtained
from American consuls. The world
shortage is attributed to unreasonable
weather.
Fresno experienced today its first day
of warm sunshine since the recent rain.
Investigations made by agents of the
local packers revealed the fact that
the damage done to the exposed raisin
crop by the rain will be reduced to a
minimum should the good weather con-
tinue for two or three days.
The sun came just in time to prevent
a great loss. 1t is said by packers and
growers generally that had rainy or
cloudy weather continued for two days
more the raisins still on the trays
would have been good only for hog
feed.
The growers today are actively en-
gagged in turning the moistened raisins
in ordef that they may thoroughly alb
sorb the warm sunshine.
