Trying Experience of an Actress and
Waiting Audience.

A fire started in the dressing room
occupied by FRITZ Scheff at the Nixon
theater, Pttsburg, just before a matinee
and the prima donna's entire wardrobe
was ruined or destroyed. The singer.
with her two maids, was in the room at
the time. and she was about to dress
before going on the stage One of the
maids had been working with an electric
iron on some of the singers dresses
The wires became crossed and in an in
slant the fluffy hnery was in a blaze
Miss Scheff and her maids ran out Of
the room screaming fire, and the stage
hands and actors rushed in a throng to-
ward the room. The stage hose was
soon pumping water into the dressing
room and the stage was entirely flooded
In the meantime the audience was being
seated and no one knew that a fire
blazed back of the scenes. The actors
hurried out with their wardrobes into
the street. Miss Scheff remained re-
markably cool during the excitement.
The play was an hour and a half late.
Miss Schef went through the perform
ance in her street costume.

An AdumbratiOn Of Civil Service Reform.

An AdumbratiOn Of Civil Service Reforr.
How frequently it happens that effort

II Is often said of men that they have

thlng, unfortunately is sometimes true
OF reforms. and from observations which
me editor Of the Boston Transcript has
made regarding conditions at Washing
ton civil service reform is ne excep-
ZION to the rule. The editor of the
Transcript says:
People talk about civil service reform as
II " were a panacea, and as II when we
nave enough of thar everything would be
huSineSSltkc. In some respects IL Compli-
Gates the problem Every national cam
paign Involves the assumption Of political
Obligations. Thousands of men from Ore
gon to Florida perform ValorouS services
for the candidate. either for his nomina-
ton or his election. After he gets into CT
ice something must be done for them.
with civil service reform closing all the
regular doors, new things must be invented
each four years for the new crop Of men to
Dc recognized; new bureaus, new ways OF
representing the government abroad and
new schemes OF sociological activity.
President Taft, in despite of all the
interests aud influences working against
such conSummation, has been making
a genuine endeav0r to stop wastes in
the administrative departments of the
federal government, and to somn extent
he has succeeded Ii can be realized by

UNCLE JOE CANNON.

No matter what may be the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter
if he may be looked upon by some as

who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore on
any subject, viii have weight Obsery-
ant, he speaks his mind freely He
was interviewed the other day by the
correspondent of a Canadian newspa-
per, he spoke of his admiration for
Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly we'll the personnel

he launched out into personal biog-
raphy, proverbial philosophy, politi-
ca! ccyament, cynical scorn, broad pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as

tariff, and then said: People say

Coming from a man of the fame of
Mr.. Cannon, these were words that
should have some weight with the
Americans who may still have doubts
OF the advantages that are offered to
them in Western Canada. A home

of thousands of Americans are adopt

They have splendid social conditions,

what is more, they get much greater
returns from their crops, which give
abundant yield. The climate Is per-
feet, and 1t is no wonder that most
fiattering reports are sent back to their
friends in the States, and it is no
wonder that Joe Cannon was tempted
