covered the fire breaking through the
weatherboards around the chimney,
being occasioned by a defective hue.
She fought the flames desperately, un-
til she found that it was impossible for
her to put it out. Then she began to
carry out the household goods, but
was unable to get out the best of them
The actual loss will not exceed $500.

An effort will be made to secure reliable tenant and place the property on paying basis.

This agency proposes to receive and take charge of all kinds of exhibits, wares, etc., and has 8 corps of competent assistants to assume charge and superintend the various depart ments and thereby aid and facilitate exhibit ors. Many possibly will not be willing to re- main during the whole time or undergo the heavy expense of special representative, but can through this agency be properly repre- sented at very small cost. Mir. Smith states that the buildings are nearly completed and everything is being done to make the enter prise a success and one of the largest exposi- tions ever held in this country.
