San Francisco Publishers and Paper
Dealers Suffer Heavy Damage
by Fire and Water

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-About II
o'clock tonight a fire broke out in the upper
portion of the old three-story brick build
ing at 81 Clay street. between Sansome
and Montgomery, which until recently
was occupied by the editorial and COM
posing rooms Of the Morning Call. The
sterotyping plant Of that paper is still on
the first floor of the building and its valu-
able perfecting presses are located in the
basement The flames spread through the
building with great rapidity, cutting the
printing establishment Of Francis, Valen-
tine and Company, one of the largest print
ing houses on the coast, devoting most of
its attention to theatrical and bill work.
The loss of Francis, Valentine and Com
pany is almost total, and is impossible to
estimate but is not placed at less than $780,
000 Frank Eastman and Company, print
ers, on the second floor, were nearly
burned out and their reserve stock dam
aged by fire and water to the extent of
$4,000. Boswell and Company, bookbinders,
also suffered severely, as did also Paul
Brunnatt, gunsmith who occupied
store on the ground floor.
The stereotype and press rooms of the
Call were flooded and rendered useless for
none of the machinery has been seriously
damaged. The works of the Commercial
Light and Power company were damaged
to a considerable extent. The loss on the
building, which belonged to P. J. Thomas
estate, is fixed at about $4,000. A conserva-
tive estimate of the total loss caused by the
fire, which was not extinguished until long
after midnight, is 100000. partly covered by
insurance.
AS soon as the other daily papers learned
Of the misfortune which had befallen the
Call each and all placed their presses and
stereotyping departments at the disposal
of that journal. The offer of the Chronicle
was accepted, and the Call will be issued
from the Chronicles press rooms tomor-
row morning.
The old structure in which the fire &C.
Cured has been thrice visited by fire with
in the last few years, and each time the
loss has been heavy. 1t has now been
practically Quilted and will probably he
condemned by the fire underwriters. The
firm of Blake, Moffatt & Towne, the
wholesale paper dealers, sustained some
loss, chiefly by water.

One Good Patriot Makes Promise Of
Raising a Regiment Of Yellow
Fever Immunes

WASHINGTON, May 3.-President Nc
Kinley had scarcely left the breakfast ta-
BILE and taken up the morning papers about
half past nine, when Senator Burrows OF
Michigan arrived. He was closely fol-
lowed by Senator Bate and party Of Ten
nessee constituents.
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina,
who lately has been an almost daily caller.
and Representative Corliss or Michigan
came by appointment.
Up to II o'clock there were no new de-
velopments in the war situation brought
to the attention Of the president. Sena-
tor Pritchard Of North Carolina congrat-
ulated the administration on the great
victory 1t had scored in the Philippines.
Senator Burrows informed the president
of the status of the war revenue bill in
the senate and also discussed the general
situation. He declined to express an opin-
ion publicly as to the probable length OF
the war, beyond saying that IL an engage
ment could be had Immediately by our
fleet with the Spanish fleet that was at
Cape Verde and the Spanish were defeated
in that engagement the war would be
ended Immediately.
Senators Clay and Bacon and Represent
alive Griggs of Georgia called on the pres
ident as committee representing the en-
tire Georgia delegation in congress except
Representative Adamson, to urge the ap-
pointment Of Col. Ed Wight of Albany,
Ga, as a brigadier general In the Cuban
campaign.
Governor Taylor of Tennessee was ur-
gently pressed on the president today for
one of the brigadier generalships by a
large Tennessee delegation, including
Senator Bate and Representatives Rich
ardson, Gaines, Gibson and Moon.
The president told them Governor Tay-
Tor was one of the most highly endorsed of
| all the names put forward. The president
also took occasion to inquire of the dele
cation as to Tennessees ability to fur
nish an organization Of immunes for the
| Cuban expeditionary force. Their services
he explained, were urgently needed and
would prove of great value on the island
Colonel Garrett Of Nashville, one of the
party from Tennessee that accompanied
| the congressional delegation, said he
probably could raise company of i'm
munes from Chattanooga and Nashville
and would take steps to this end at once.

INDIGNANT CATHOLICS
Resent Insinuations of a Lack of Their
Patriotism

BALTIMORE. Nd, May 4.-Catholics
here are indignant at what they call an eff
fort on the part of the London Daily Mail
to place the Catholics in this country in a
false light. Cardinal Gibbons said to-
night: "These statements of the Daily
Mail are entirely misleading. I receive
the leading Catholic paper Of England,
the Tablet, in which expressions from
bishops and prominent clergy constantly
appear. Such expressions show general
sympathy with the United States. The
Irish Catholics are almost entirely in ac-
cord with this sentiment, notwithstar,d d.
ing the statements contained in the Daily
Mail as cabled to this country last night.
Catholics in the United States have but
one sentiment" concluded his eminence.

as to the expediency of the war, now that it
is on, they are united in unfolding the gov

Somerset Towns In 1898.

ter inquiring "what, according to pres

From Somerset towns, January LIST, that
paper received as follows:
Pitsfield: "From present appearances
1t looks as though '9S might bring US a
large addition to the Pioneer Wooden
Mill, the w. & Q. K. X. and big dam
at the rapids between this town and
Burpham. The last named in my
opinion will help Pittsfield more than
either of the others, as it will furnish US
with electric lights and electric power
for number of small manufacturing

Skowhegan: "rhe people Of Skowhe-
gan would be pleased to see their large
shoe factory which has been practically
idle for the past year, running at its full
capacity. Our other industries are in a
flourshing condition"
This correspondent is at fault in stat
ing that the Bloomfield shoe factory has
been practically idle. 1t has not done
as much as we would like to have seen
it do, and not half as much as there is
good prospect of its doing the coming
year, but it was by no means idle.

Miss Shows Address.

Milburn hall was fairly we'll filed,
Friday evening last, with an audience
made up largely of club women, some
of the teachers of our schools, and
very few men. The occasion was the
address Of Miss Mary s. Snow, superin-
tendent of the public schools of Bangor,
which was given under the auspices of
Sorosis, who had invited the Woman's
Club, Town Improvement Society, Mil
burn Club, and all interested in educa-
tional matters to be their guests and
share the pleasure and profit of listen
ing to Miss Snow.
Mrs. Laura Frost, president of Sorosis,
introduced the speaker. Miss Shows
subject was "Children's Rights" AS is
we'll known, she is one of Names fore
most women, and is doing great work
both for Bangor and the State in the
line of lettering the public schools, and
making the standard of education high
or. Her address was much in the
nature of an informal talk. The rights
of children in the home and in the
school were treated in way that could
not fail to set people to thinking. The
consideration due growing child, the
food which can best develop his physi-
cal being, as we'll as his mind; the me-
cessity that the hygienic conditions of
the school rooms should be of the best,
and that school buildings should be
made attractive that the child's love of
the beautiful and artistic may be con-
stantly educated and increased; the
importance of trained teachers--the
importance of training to the teacher as
well-the great need of parents taking a
more personal interest in the schools,
and above all the necessity that sur
roundings, influence and education
should be such as to best develop the
moral nature of the child and give an
upward trend to his thought, were all
touched upon. Miss Shows words
carry conviction because she is so
thoroughly convinced herself of the
truth of her statements. Not only has
she scientific facts to bear her up, but
her own experience. Her great love of
children has helped her to see what
they need for their best development.
She puts her whole heart into her work,
and every one who hears her speak is
quickened by her energy and enthusiasm.
Her address, Friday evening, should
have been heard, not only by every
father and mother, but by every citizen
in town. Those who heard it gained
much, those who staid away lost great
deal
