The Injured members of the family
were taken to the home of Isaac M.

The frame residence was one of the
costliest in the neighborhood. The
origin of the fire was thought to be
till overheated furnace. The tlarnes
had gained much headway before Mr.
Higgins was awakened. Hastily awak

ascended the stairs to warn those on
the second and third floors. By that

DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.
Small wonder that those who hope
for the elevation of the stage and a
proper appreciation of Shapeaperean
and otbe.' classical, elevating drama,
rote with regret a glowing interest
ii> a lighter class and more impossible
and suggestive problem plays! Shakes
pert- has left to the world a pi iceless
matchless heritage in his plays, but
without capable, intelligent interpre
tation the> are as tedious and uninter
esting us the finest plauo responding
to the indiscriminate pounding of u
family pet during practice hour.
Robert Mantel! and company were u
distinct dlsappolultneui in tne pres
entation or Shukespeare's "Hamlet," in
the Detroit opera house Tuesday uigbt,
but, to bo. entirely accurate, the bur-
I den of the blame was on the "com
pany," for with the possible excep
tions of Guy Lindsley, a very adequate
and satisfactory Horatio; Miss Mario
Booth Russell as Ophelia, and Mias
Lillian Kingsbury as Gertrude, the sup
porting cast held "mirrors up to nat
ure" that must have been left-overs
from a dismantled hall of mirth. The
mercury wus entirely worn off the re
flector in the hands of George Turner
as Polonius, and through the entire
absence of the first indication of old
age In stenciled traces of time, one
was forced to conclude that he had
been practicing the crab act suggested
by Hamlet when he points out that
Polonius would be as old as himself
if "like a crab, he could crawl back
wards."
While his efforts in the character of
the Melancholy Dane show much seri
ous. careful study and an intelligent
grasp of the main requirements of the
characterisation, still there are defects
It. Mr. Mantell's rendition, the more
noticeable when in this character we
compare him with Booth. Irving >r
Sotbern. lu some scenes, notably
where the play is on to "test the con
science of the king." and the midnight
| interview with guilty, distracted Ger
trude. Mr. Mantell moves bis audience
Ito the hlghts of most absorbing inter
lost, and for a time at least one Is not
| < ousclous that "Hamlet" is being
"played." Such an experienced, studi
ous and capable artist us Mr. Mantell
cvnild scarcely full to make the char
acter of Hamlet interesting and quite
satisfactory, but his present very in
adequate support only tends to height
en and make more noticeable some
[ glaring defects in his voice and
1 ing. In some speeches where he
deems rapidity uecessary for proper
effect bis lines are absolutely inaudi
ble to the most attentive. In the more
Impassioned speeches there is an ap
parent snuggle for breath at the en»i
of each sentence that mars the beauty
! of the lines and makes too pronounced
! a seeming struggle for force and in>-
1 pressiveneas. In the character of
i "Lear” these defeats become valuable
assets to the actors equipment and
Mr Mantell i« unquestionably the bes,
Lear since tne days of Edwin Forres.
With'each recurring season there 's
a very marked impro\emeflt In the
quality of Mr. Mantell's Shakesperean
characterizations. and It Is a matter
of sincere regret to hls army of Detroit
admirers that he cannot have a sup
port that would be In keeping with
the magnificent scenery and stagluc
and hls own capabilities.

There are 30 song numbers and many
surprising novelties in the production.
The original company to a man and
the New York production of The
Great Divide'* are with Henry Miller
on his last tour as “Stephen Ghent,

week In Detroit. Miss Thais Lawton
is the only newcomer in the c ast of j
William Vaughan Moody’s play, which ,
after two seasons of practically iin
dlmlnlshed audiences appears to have ,
made good as "the great American
plav." Since Mr. Miller lasi played
"Stephen Ghent" here his Impersona
tion has ripened until at last a man

rugged outlines of Stephens character

the simple human nature of the man

"Busy lzx> s Boodle." In which com
ical little George Sidney will appeai
in the Lyceum next week Is said to
be a musical farce in the best expres
sion of that term. Mr. Sidney Is an
unctuous and painstaking comedian,
whose every move, gesture or facial
expression Is the signal of merriment,
and his past six years as a musical
(comedy star have been usually sue-
Icessful. Sidney Is surrounded by fifty,
and the action of the piece frolics'
along his past offerings. This year he

HAIRWASH IS BAGGAGE,
RULES BRITISH JUDGE
LONDON. Jan. 13. Aa an instance
of how thoroughly British law pro
tecta the Interests of the public
against powerful corporations, the de
cision of a I»ndon Judge on an appar
ently tflvul point in a railroad case >s
significant.
Frederick Davis, a lawyer, sued the
Great Western Railway Cos. for dam
age to his baggage. The railroad had
conveyed his valise, containing u dress
suit, a bottle of hair wash and two
bottles of medicine. In transit the
hottlen were smashed and the suit
damaged t*v their conteuts.
The railroad company's lawyer
argued that such goods as hair wash
sncl medicines could not be classed
as a passenger's personal baggagy. But
the Judge neld tbat the articles came
v.lthin the definition of passengers'
baggage. remarking that railway
travelers would be very astonished if
told that such things did not come
within that category. He awarded Mr.
Davis $25 damage's against the railroad
company.
INTERESTING MARINE
QUESTION INVOLVED
A interesting marine question is
raised in the trial which was begun
in the federal court In which the
Thompson Tug Cos., of Port Huron,
claims $l5O for towing the steamer F.
H Squires from Port Huron shipyards
to Detroit. The Mack Steamship Co*
the owners, claim that the vessel had
not vet reached the stage of comple
tion when towed to be turned over to
them and they contest the suit.
Arc doctors good for anything?
Foolish question! Yet some people act as if a medicine could
take the place of a doctor! The best medicine in the world cannot
do this. Have a family doctor, consult him frequently. If we did
not believe doctors endorsed Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
and colds, we would not offer it to you.- _
