F. Rooker and A. F ng of the Occidental Horse Ex- by the A mnoticeable feature of the fire was the fact that the old flagstaff, which has stood for many years, was first ignited on top, and the fire gradually crept down where it took a firm hold at the base, and finally it fell with a crash in the raging furnace. Portions of the .cornice dropped from time to time, and all who fought the blaze realized that the danger was considerable. Electric wires burned out in many places, and a stream of fire ran along one wire from the burning building to the house across the alleyway leading to the stables in the rear. All the horses and bugegies were saved after hard work, but the old horse cars were completely de- stroyed. The damage is estimated at $15,000, with no insurance. The proprietors of the skating rink are insured for the loss on skates and other property. The crowds which had been enjoying themselves in the rink during the évening had been gone but a comparatively short time whea the flames broke out, and it is supposed the fire had been smoldering for some time before the alarm was turned in. The firemen Lad not been working on Tehama street in the rear of the building more than fifteen minutes when the up- per portion of the wall, consisting of tons of brick, mortar and ' the woodwork of the cornice, fell to the ground. The wall was unsafé for some minutes before it fell, so the firemen had been careful about venturing immediately in the rea the streams being thrown from_the sid jut just before the accident J. H. Ho- gan, "~ foreman of eng 6, started through the alley to the west side of the building, and this nearly cost him his life, He had reached about the middle of the building when the men who were watch- ing his movements saw the wall tremble and warned him of his danger. He re- treated toward Third street and barely got out of the way of the wall, being thrown to the ground by the rush of the wind caused by the falling debris’ Fully half an hour hefore the alarm was turned in the people of the Occidental Horse Exchange, directly behind the burning building, saw the flames and be- gan to rescue ‘the seventy odd--horses, which they took out through Clementina street. Gus Palace and R. O. West were in the rear of the building soon after the fire was seen and broke open a door and went through the lower floor. They say that there was no fire there at all, and the oniy flames they saw were in the back part of the second story. The New St. David's House, 715 Howard street, had a very narrow 'escape. and Assistant Chief Engineer Wills deserves credit for the work done by him and his men in preventing the flames spreading to the lodging house. A stream with three lines of hose from engines 10, 9 and 6 was kept turned on the west wall of the building until all danger of its takin fire was passed. There were nearly lodgers in the house when roomers on the west side of the bullding gave the alarm that the place was on fire. Christopher Zimmer, the manager of the lodgiag house, immediately went through the halls notifying the people that there was a fire, and little time was lost by ‘the lodgers in making their exit. The New St. David's House is owned by the Falr estate and leased by Jucob Herges. The loss is principally from water which was poured into the windo though the walls are badly scorche: Fire Marshal Towe will make a - ggsh investigation into the cause oflh{’l:e PLEASING PLAY AT THE COLUMBIA Miss Knott Scores a Hit With Mantell in “The Secret Warrant.” “Texas Steer” at the California—The Tivoli’s “Wang” Revived—The Other Theaters. After months and months of nothingbut farce and vaudeville it is a pleasant task to chronicle the performance of a legiti- mate play, cleanly written and sym- pathetically acted by a well-balanced little company. The play is ‘“The Secret Warrant,” written by W. A. Tremayne, a Montreal journalist, and presented at the Columbia last night by Robert Man- tell. It is a romance, a modest little ro- mance of no striking originality of situa- tion and climax, but bright and graceful in its dialogue and of a te atmos- pheric charm. The scenes are in France in the time when Philippe, Duc D'Orleans, was regent and blank lettres de cachet were given to the royal mistress that she might supply the victim’'s name at her pleasure and send him to the Bastille. The story of the play has beer told in an earlier issu The fury of the woman scorned, the simple, unaffected love of a simple girl of the middle classes and the daredevil grit, easy conscience and (finally) triumphant virtue of the soldier of fortune hero,are made very picturesque and very entertaining by both author and CNTe“Mantell, an’actor of elaborate ad- dress and somewhat old-fashioned stage manners, is well fitted in the part of the hero; Miss Marie Booth Russell is largels handsome and very effeccve as the rayal mistress; Miss Marion P. Clifton does an admirable bit of stout comlc character as the heroine's aunt, and Miss Roseile Knott is wholly unaffécted, magnetic and delightful as the heroine. The company is quite good all the way through, the only notable unevenness being in favor of Miss Knott, who seems to possess many of the elements that go to make a remarkable actress. A Good Texas Steer. Tt is a good “Texas Steer” that Maurice Freeman gives at the California, and in his hgnds, and in those of the capable company which supports him, the charac- teristically American political caricature farce-comedy becomes invested with all the charm of a new production, The role of the politician who brands all the fat mavericks in the shape of emoluments coming within the radius of his grasp offers_much temptation to overact, but Mr, Freeman steered clear of this rock By and gave a consistent characterization of the role.

The performance will be continued dur- ing the remainder of the week. Lettie le Vy‘ne at Morosco’s. Miss Lettie le Vyne, the singing sou- brette, captured her audience last night at Morosco’s in “Hearts of New York.” Lettie has a plump little figure, and the role, by obliging her to wear a short skirt during the first part of the play, | enables her to charm the eye with the spectacle of a pair of plump and well- shaped legs that are all her own beyond any doubt.

W ith All the Elements of Great- ness There Is No Need of Imitation. Successiul Opening of the Annual Women’s Congress—Interest- ing Papers. There are twice as lr.any men as there are women on the programme .ol the Woman’s Congress, but for every man in the audience there are twenty- five women. It's an audience of thinkers instead of dreamers. The enthusiasts of the first Woman’s Congress five years ago, by their strong individuality and the frank expression of their hopes and fears, made those off the stage more interesting as a study of women-na- ture than those upon it. These have given place to women of a different type. ‘‘he congress opened yesterday aft- ernoon, Mrs. John F. Swift, the presi- dent, calling it to order at 2:30. After a prayer by Rev. Mr. Moreland Rev. Dr. Cook of Trinity Church delivered the opening address for the president. He was followed by Rabbi Nieto, who closed a short talk with a very pretty compliment to the congress, declaring that the causes which have been most worthy, the accomplishments which have been most successful, have been those for which women have made themselves responsibie. The audience applauded vigorously when it was announced that David Starr Jordan had agreed to take Dr. Ross’ place on the programme. But they applauded quite as vigorously when this announcement was followed by another to the effect that Dr. Ross, having recovered from his indisposition, would address the congress on “Social Values in Democracy.” “Social Life,” said Dr. Ross, “ranks third or fourth in importance to men; it ranks second or third to women. To be fit for society you must bring to it some qualification or rather a compound of qualifications of birth, breeding, brains, wealth and accomplishments. Other- wise you are a parasite, and people ex- pect to derive pleasure—both to give enjoyment and to enjoy. We do not choose our friends because of their fine qualities; we discover these qualities after they have become our friend: This is not the basis of social life. Just what the test, the challenge, the pass- word is that open the gates of society depends upon its grade.

In an aristocracy, particular- 1y in a country which has suffered con- quest, the test of birth is always first. This—even though opposed to that in- dividualism which must be recognized —is better than mammon worship, which leads to extravagance, vulgar os- tentation, embezzlement.

The playing of the “Star- spangled Banner” was a fitting_opening for the patriotic utterances of President Jordan of Stanford. Before that able and well-known speaker was introduced, of Oakland Mrs. Beck-Meyer gave a thirty minutes’ talk on “The Teacher in Society,” She gave an entertaining his- tory of the life of the Danish teacher and farmer and closed her remarks with a poem. Although she took the place of Miss Mollie E. Connors, who was pro- grammed to speak on “Money, Measures and_ Men.” the speaker snowéd a thor- ough knowledge of her subject. President Jordan, after lightly touching on the subject of ‘“Anglomania, Its Cause, Jts Justification and Iis Cure,” then gave o brilliant dissertation on the present conflict between this country and Spain, using as a text the well-known and oft- auoted poem of Rudyard Kipling, ‘Lest We Forget.” Speaking to the former subject, he ridiculed the anglomaniacs who belleved it proper to turn up their trousers when it rained in London, dock their horses’ talls, wear eye-giasses to give them the stony glare of the inhabitants across the water and who talked as if they had fog in_their throats. These are anglomaniacs lish. The justification is the greatness of England, the cure of it is a thimbleful of trains, for one possessed of that import- ant commodity would not use the words and actions of others and pass them off as _his own. Professor Jordan then devoted the rest of his time to the necessity of the Amer- can people making their house their castle, being quick to avenge and strong to bluff, ready to cast aside the checks and balances of our constitution, con- stant to act as England as one for the will of the people. “We have the -men, the purpose, the opportunity, and we must be what England is.” —e— Dick Williams Appeals.
