LITERARY NOTES.

Major-General Wesley Merritt con-
tributes the leading article, entitled
"Our Flag in the Philippines to the
current April number of Frank Les
les Popular Monthly. No magazine
contribution could possess greater
authority. timely interest and value
than this full and graphic narrative Of
the Philippine campaign, by the dis
tingnished army commander who, in
con junction with Admiral Dewey, took
the city Of Manila on August 18th Of
last year. General Merritt's COM
mrnts on the present operations in the
Philippines, and upon the outlook for
the establishment Of our military con-
troll there, are decidedly optimistic
and make iirst-cluss reading, which is
enhanced by elaborate pictorial Illus
tration. f. Marion Crawforu'S "RD-
nance Of Rome also profuscly and
beautifully illustrated, is another not
able feature of the April Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly. 1t is eloquent in its
descriptive chaiactrriZation of the
Eternal City, Of st. Peters and the
Vatican. and of the venerable Pope
Leo KIT. The number also includes
illustrated articles upon "Aguinaldo,

~CENTERVILLE FIRE.

Sons of st. George hall, one of the prin-
clpal buildings in Centerville, was threat
ened with destruction by fire yesterday
afternoon. The fire was discovered about
4 O'Clock IN the ceiling between the hall
ana the lower floor. A lodge of knights
of Pythlas was being instituted in the
upper hall, and the excitement caused by
the discovery was at q fever heat for a
tlme. Centerville has no fire protection,
and volunteers quickly organized a
bucket brigade and by dint of hard work
the names were subdued. The hall was
damaged to the extent of about $500.
The Mountain Con. department was
sent TO the scene of the confiagration, but
by the time the mine organization arrived
the volunteers had the fire subdued.
the ground floor is occupied by the
bennett grocery store, and the loss to this
concern will amount to about 5000. The
loss to the building and grocery stock is
amply covered by insurance.
