A three-room cottage, in the ex treme southeastern portion of the city, occupied by negroes, caught fire about 2 o'clock tills morulug, and before the fire department could reach the scene, burned to the ground. The cottage was the property of Mrs. Jessie Hall. The loss amount? to about $700.- There was no insur ance on the place. Tlte house, although within the cor porate limits of the city, was some thing like 3,000 feet from the nearest Are plug, and It would have required practically every foot of hose owned by the city to stretch a line to the burning cottage. As it was, the de partment was notified too^late, but had the laddies reached there sooner, they would have been almost useless, with the nearest fre plug ho far away. The firemen devoted their efforts to save the neighboring houses. Albany Decorating CO.. Wall Paper, Burlaps. Room Moulding and Picture Rail. Rumney Building. Phone 393.

Savannah, Ga., March 13.—“The Di vine” Sarah Bernhardt appeared in Sa vannah last night In Dumas’ play, “Camille.’’ She did not appear in the regular theatre, but played in a skat ing rink instead. About 1,200 Savqn- nahians saw her at $3 a .seat, and despite the fact that the production was in French, they seemed to enjoy it The'divine one’s receipts were some what <5ut into by the fact that the min isters of the city have been firing at “Camille” pretty steadily for the past week or more, because of its immor ality. ' One of the local papers put up a job on the great Sarah yesterday af ternoon. They happened to have a re porter on the paper of the same name as the actress, and sent him to inter view her. When she saw the name on the card she hastened to have him enter her presence and when he got in sight she threw a bunch of French at him that would have stopped a French clock. As it was all Choctaw to the American reporter with the Gaspard name he came near retreat ing. He stood his ground, though, and it is a question as to which was the more disappointed.
