odd romance of a pretty little circus
rider and a village pastor in the Mid
die West, Polly of the Circus" with
Elsie st. Leon, will be presented at
the Colonial next week. 1t is a drama
as original as it is refreshing, and is
one of those rare plays that appeal to
the gallery gods with the same force
as to the occupants of orchestra
chairs. Since this play was first pro-
duced hundreds of thousands of per-
sons have been moved from laughter
to tears and to sheer joy in following
the fortunes of the wistful little girl,
from whom comes the title, Polly
of the Circus" and her ministerial
admirer. The reproduction of circus
| in full swing in the third act is one OF
the greatest pieces of stage realism.
Dainty Elsie ST.. Leon will be seen in
the title role. The personnel OF the
supporting cast is an apparent assur-
ance of a finished and artistic por-
trayal of the other characters. The
scenic production is remarkable Tor
one of such admittedly unusual skill
in such matters as Frederic Thomp'
son. The third act setting. where an
actual sawdust-ring performance with
all the incidents and accessories is
shown, is especially notable. The IA
nous st. Leon family is still with the
company.

THE NEW PRINCESS.

The past week at the New Princess,
as far as crowds were concerned, was
beyond all expectations. The pro-
grams were excellent and the people
thoroughly enjoyed them. The house
of quality is enjoying better patron
age at this time than at any time
since it opened its doors. This is due
largely to the management, who are
making every effort to secure greater
and better attractions for its patrons.
The contest for the pony and cart Is
now waxing warm and the indications
are that 1t will be very close race,
as there are now fourteen contestants
and more are joining every day. TINS
is without doubt one Of the greatess
contests ever held in Bryan, the prize
being very costly and one any little
girl or boy will appreciate.
Mondays program promises TO De
one of the best ever shown at the
"house of quality" Four former Bio
graph stars, Mabel Normand, Mack
Sennett, Fred Mace and Ford Sterling
will appear in a great comedy pro-
duction, Cohen Collects Debt"

the Diving Venus" will appear In a
picture entitled 1.-THE Water Nymph."

FIRE At MILFORD BURNS
FOUR BUSINESS HOUSES
Jump PROPERTY" ON WALNUT
STREET BADLY WRECKED
Midnight Fire, With the Bitter Cold
Weather, Caused Much Anxious
Concern-Loss, About Sis, 900

One of the most disastrous fires
in the history Of Milford occur red
about midnight Tuesday night when
four business houses located in what
was known as the Jump Block were
destroyed together with their con-
tents entailing a loss estimated at
between 10, 900 and Sis, 900 which is
partially covered by insurance. The
buildings destroyed were as follows /:
No. % North Walnut street-Joh
F. Housemen's grocery and general
merchandise store. No. "a North
Walnut street - Harry Jackson's s
restaurant and confectionery store.
No. 20 North Walnut street-Miss
Minnie W. Sipple's millinery store.
No. % North Walnut street-Wil-
liam Warrer's jewelry store. The
origin of the fire is unknown,
though it is thought to have started
in the kitchen of the restaurant.
AS Walnut street is the chief busi-
ness thoroughfare of the town, ex-
tending through both North and
South Milford, and the buildings on
that street nearly all Join each
other in the heart of the town, the
situation was alarming, and had it
not been for the good work of the
firemen, under the direction of Chief
William Pierce, and the efficiency of
the new water supply which gave a
pressure of 125 pounds, the entire
business section would undoubtedly
have been obliterated. All of the
buildings burned were of frame,
which added to the rapidity with
which the fire spread and increased
the danger element. As the wealth
er was bitter cold, the fremen
worked under difficulties, which add
ed even more to their credit Water
froze in some of the hose and it
froze wherever it fell. The mercury
was down to about degrees below
zero. The fire equipment OH the
ground, which COMPRISES the entire
departments, included three hose
companies and a hook and ladder
company, and all of the equipment
was used to good effect. The blaze
was discovered shorty before Il
O'Clock, and the alarm, which was
tive ?sAsaistely turned in, brought, out
not only the -ffremen and their ap.
paratus, but also hundreds of resi-.
dens, who hastened to the fire scene,
and many gave valuable assistance
to the fremen. Some helped t.
fight the flames, while many threw
water on nearby buildings to pre-
vent them catching fire. With al
of this work, however, the flannel
spread to the stable of DR.. R. Z
Warren, in the rear of the JumI
Block but it was not seriously dam
aged. The burned stores were s,
badly damaged that they are no
worth rebuilding. They were t.
have been torn down in the spring
to make room for three moderl
stores which are to be built by Mrs
Jump, the owner of the block
Most oe the stock of the occupant
was saved after having been wet b.
water.
