A Witty Reply.

On one occasion an important dress

prolonged until the small hours of the
morning. The company grew very
weary. particularly gentleman who
had been with Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree in a good many productions, but
who had never attained to more than
a very tiny part. When the time came
to rehearse his few lines he was so
tired that his voice was anything but
distinct.
whats the matter. Mr.. ~" asked
Sir Herbert in his most sarcastic tones.
Are you saving your voice for the re-
hearsal?'
mo. Sir Herbert" was the retort,
i've never been able to save anything
under your management"
Sir Herbert. an exceedingly witty
man himself. was so pleased with the
retort that the salary of the small part

Laughter.

Laughter, while it lasts. slackens
and embraces the mind. weakens the
faculties and causes a kind Of remiss-
ness and dissolution in all the powers
of the soul. and thus far it may be
looked upon as weakness in the COM
position of human nature. But if we
consider the frequent reliefs we re-
ceive from it and how often it breaks
the gloom which is apt to depress the
| mind and damp our spirits with tran
sient unexpected CLEANS of joy, one
would take care not to grow too wise
for so great a pleasure OF life.-Addi-

FLAMES CAUSE
LOSS OF $4,000
FIRE LAST NIGHT DESTROYS THE
kEHL SALOON AND Nc.
RANDLE ART AND
BOOK STORE.

a disastrous fire occurred Ia Re
Jacket last night, when the Ryan IS
tate building. corner OF Firth and Scot
streets, was practically destroyed
The ground floor OF the building wa
occupied by William Kehl as a saloor
and the second floor by Arthur Ian.
dry as n cigar factory. A store room
adjoining the saloon was used by IN,
McRandle sisters as an art and book
store.
The estimated loss is $4,000 Tn,
building was valued at $4,000, fully
covered by insurance. Mr.. Kehl car
ried $500 insurance on his stock, which
is estimated, with the fixtures. Ia
have been worth $4,000. while the
Misses MoRandle had about $1,000
worth of stock, fully covered by insur-
ance.
The cause Of the fire is unknown. II
apparently broke out i'm the rear of the
Kehl saloon. An alarm was turned in
at 1880 p. m, and in u short space
Of time the Red Jacket fire depart
ment responded. by the time the de-
partment arrived the building was
burning fiercely, and il was soon evil
dent the structure was doomed. -Four
streams Of water were thrown on the
building but despite this great volume
OF water the fire steadily gained head
way. 4 second alarm was quickly
turned i'm and the Hecla department
responded, adding another stream of
water
The flames worked their way up
through the walls and ceiling of the
structure, ana were soon bursting
through the roof. Efforts were made to
coniine the fire to the Kehl portion of
the building, but it got through and
ignited the McRandle store. II was
feared at one time that the Sheridan
estate building, adjoining, occupied by
Miss Rhoda M. Bakers hair dressing
parlors and John j. Ellis jewery |
store was doomed but good work on
the part Of the fire departments saved !
that structure.
The fire was under control at 1:10 a. |
m, but the Red Jacket department did |
not leave until O'Clock.
During the progress of the fire John
Sullivan, a member of the Red Jacket /
department, and Matt Gamble, who |
were on the roof of the burning build |
ms, directing a hose, were precipitated |
to the saloon floor, falling amongst the |
burning debris when the roof gave |
way. Both men were promptly rescued |
and suffered little as the result OF their |
fall
Another fireman, Ed. McNulty. was |
badly cut about the face by falling |
glass. Despite the cold weather and !
the lateneSs OF the hour. the progress
Of the FIRE was watched by hundreds of |
people.
John u. Cuddihy. manager of the
Ryan estate. informed The News this |
that as soon as the fire in !
adjusters had adjusted the loss |
that steps would be taken to rebuild. |
