WARREN'S RESIDENCE A PREY TO FLAMES J -- Burned at Noon To-Day--The Ori- gin of the Fire a Mystery-- --House and Contents Were Insured. Kingston has had several small fires this week, but it is to be ho the climax was reached to-day in the con- flagration that almost completely de stroyed the fine, new home of William H. Warren, the popular head clerk in MeKelvey & Birch's plumbing estab lishment. Some time ago Mr. Warren purchased a brick residence on Garrett street and at once procee to re- novate it. He spent hundreds of del lars in building a new kitchen, in- stalling modern improvements, etc. The work was just completed--in fact the paint on the new woodwork was hardly dry--when fire broké out and in an hour destruction reigned su- preme. The fire started in the kitchen at the rear. There was no fire in the kitchen at the time, and the origin of the blaze is a mystery. The flames spread with great rapidity, and soon enveloped the kitchen and extended to the main part of the house. The fire had been burning about twenty min- utes before the alarm was sent in. When the brigade arrived on scene a little after eleven o'clock, a line of hose was connected with the hydrant at the corper of Division and Princess streets. This hydrant was so far away that the hose proved too short. The connection' was therefore broken, and the hose carried up to the corner of University Avenue and Garrett street, where a stream was secured. During thie enforced delay, the fire was getting in ite destructive work. More hose was secured, and another line of hose laid from the corner of Division and Princess streets. Thus equipped the firemen worked Jike heroes. 'The fire was soon under subjection, but not before the interior of the residence had been ruin ed by fire and water. The kitchen was burned to the ground and the rear of the main building destroyed. the Mr. Warren carried 81,200 insurance on the building and 81,000 on the contents. The blow, coming at this time of the year, is a severe one for Mr. Wamen and his family. a -------- Out Of The Question. Stray Stories Her principal assets were youth and beauty, and in the guileless innocence of a trusting heart she had bestowed her young affections upon an old, old man, whose coffers were literally over- flowing with gold. And there was a grand party to celebrate the betrothal, to which all sorts and conditions of ple were invited; and things went,/if possible, even merrier than a yyutingy bell. During the evening/there was some sweet music, and sweeter singing, and then it was that the bride-elect mur- mured in her most dulcet tones : "] am going to ask you a favor, Col. Mooney. Do you remember 'My Sweetheart When a Boy?' 'Remember him !"' gasped the col onel. "You don't suppose I'm a cen tenarian do you?' And somehow they quite! forgot invite him to*the wedding. to The Only Way. Philadelphia Ledger A kind-hearted woman who was walking the other day through one of the streets in the vicinity of Fair mount Park, saw a' little boy sitting on the curbstone, erying bitterly. Her heart was at once touched and, going up to the little fellow, she ask- ed him the cause of his grief. Look- ing up through his tears, he explain- ed that his mother had sent hint with some pennice to a near-by grocery store and that he had lost the money. "Well," said the woman, as she put her hand on the. boy's head, "shed ding tears will not bring back your money. What makes you cry that way ?' "Cause," answered the boy, as he perplexedly, "1 ery any other looked at the woman, didn't know how to way." A Young Man Dead. The death took place this morning of John Kgward O'Donnell, Raglan Road, only son of John O'Donnell, Barrie street, on the staff of the im department. His death on the brain. land revenue was due to an abscess He underwent #n operation a few wys ago, but it failed to save the young man's life. The deceased was a wine clerk by occupation, and up to within a few weeks ago was em ployed at the Revere hotel, King street. He was an attendant at St Mary's cathedral. He is survived by his wife, father and mother and a number of sisters. Much sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. A Successful Kingstonian. William J.

May Be Court-Martialed For Talk- ing Too Much. Detroit, "Mich., 23.--The new revenue cutter Tuscarora passed here om her way from Miiwaukee to Lake Erie, where she will go into the game of watching the troubles of the United States fishermen with the Canadian cutter Petrel. The new cutter had ar- 4 rived at Milwaukee from the coast on- ly about two weeks, when she was or- dered to Lake Erie in consequence of the dispute as to whether our fisher men were encroaching on Canadian rights. It is said that these fishermen do not like the coming of the Tuscar- ora, as they will have to keep their optics on her as well as the Petrel. A special from Milwaukee says there is trouble in store for the officers of the revenue cutter Tuscarora, and it is predicted that some of their number may be courtmartialed, as a result of the announcement deemed to be pre- mature that the cutter was going to Cleveland and other Lake Erie ports to settle the trouble which has arisen between the United States and Canada over the fishing question. The officer who will be punis ed, it is said, may be the captain, as the department of- ficinls at Washington hold him re sponsible for a leak which resulted in the newspapers' knowledge of the pur- pose of the trip to the lower lakes.

To Remedy Any Evil Liquor Traf- fic Produces. Gravenhurst, Ont., Oct. 23 Rose, with Dr. J. W. Hart, the liberal candidate for Muskoka, addressed a meeting here last night. In the course of his remarks, the premier referred to the temperance question, saying that when the house met in January or February, the government would in troduce legislation to reduce any evil that the liquor traffic might produce. Premier All Contraltos Dark. adelphin Record id you ever see a blond contral to ?" asked a teacher of vocal music. "I'll be bound you never did, for the reason that all contraltos are dark. For a matter of twenty years I have observed the human voice, and I have come to the conclusion that the col oring of a person has some sort of in fluence upon the vocal organs. Blond persons with blue eyes, ruddy com plexions, and yellow hair incline to have high, sharp, metallic voices--so prano voices. I won't go so far as to say that 1 ean tell by a woman's ap pearance what type of voice she has, but I will sav that 1 can usually give a pretty good guess as to her voice To be sure, I have seen blonds with deep voices and brunettes with high ones, but 1 have only seen this rare ly. Never in my life have I seen a blond contralto--a naturally blond one, 1 mean." Paced Mile In 1:56%. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 23.--The third day of the harness racing at the Mem phis trotting association track was made memorable by magnificent per formance of Dan I'atch, who paced a mile in 1.56%, clipping three-fourths of a second from the world's record, of 1.57, held by Prince Alert, and lower ed his own record by two and three quarter seconds.

DIFFICULTY EXPERIENCED IN WINNIPEG In Getting Theatrical Attractions --Mrs. Fiske Plays in King- ston, hut not Montreal--Notes _ About Plays and Players. Madame Paul Blouwet, the widow of Max O'Rell, will, it i§ said, shortly return to the stage in comic opera. James O'Neil is to star this season in Conan Doyle's dramatization of the latter's own story, 'Brigadier Ger- ard." Writers of plays have found that a little bit of tender music will go a long way toward making a scene ef fective. "A Gentleman of France," with Wil- lis Granger as the star, has stranded in Syracuse, N.Y. It was in Kingston about the end of September. This week, Winnipeg theatregoers are witnessing "The Burgomaster,"" and "Sis Hopkins." "Quincy Adams Saw-,, yer" is shortly to appear out there. Lewis Morrison says: "1 am glad Adelina Patti is coming over to make a farewell tour, because I hate to be alone in this farewell tour business." There is a proposition to reconstruct which means practically to rebuild the London Lycewn theatre to make it comply with the requirements of the London county council, At the close of Mme. Melba's Ameri: can concert tour she goes to Monte Carlo, where she will appear probably i in "Helene ot Paris," the new opera by Saint-Saens. Henrietta Crossman will give two performances at the Montreal Acade- my of Music, Wednesday, Oct. 28th, appearing in her celebrated character of Rosalind in a magnificent produe- tion of Shakespeare's comedy, "As You Like It." From California, where Henry Mil ler and Miss Margaret Anglin are now acting, comes the announcement that these players contemplate the revival of a Ses play before they dissolve partnership. The success which Blanche Walsh ac- hieved in Chicago as Maslova in"Re- surrection'" was so remarkable as to occasion editorial comment i n the newspapers, such as is rarely accorded to theatrical afiairs. Montreal will not have an opportu. nity of seeing Mrs. Fiske. The arrange- ment of her route prevents her appear- ance in the Canadian metropolis * this season. Kingston is favored by her ap- pearance, and no doubt will give her a crowded house, especially in view of the fact that she has a Kingston girl in her company. The New York theatrical season is now in full swing, and promises to be more brilliant than usual, owing to fact that some new plays of sterling worth are being presented, or aw in process of preparation, and to the further fact that a couple of new and handsome theatres have heen added to the list of places of amusement, There used to be a Chinese wall around the stage. That wall exists no longer. Almost every manager is now glad to pass upon the merits of the ambitious amateur, and if a young man or woman wants to go upon the stage and does not it is simply be cause he or she has not tried. Schools for training players are on the ine crease. Winnipeg is experiencing trouble in getting good theatrical attractions, and because the theatrical business of Canada and the United States is in the hands of a combination of cir- cuits and managers. The distance to Winnipeg from United States cities of the west is also . teo great for com- panies to jump. A writer to the Mani- toba Free Press says it is easy to build theatres in Winnipeg, but it is another thing to get the attractions. The companies Winnipeg does get de mand a very high percentage to meet the cost of a long railroad journev New comes from Germany that Herr Hermann Sudermann has completed a new play, of which the title might be freely -translated into English as "So crates and His Companion in Arms." In the play Socrates is simply a term used to describe a society of idealists and dreamers, and his companion isa svnpathetic dentist, who has been han- ished from his own country on ne count of his extremely radical ideas. The play deals to a large extent with the difference that exists between soci alism of the 'highest class and the base and mereenary substitute which 20 often parades in its name, ---------- The Coming Minstrels.
