Company. on Erie avenue, was damaged by
fire this afternoon to the extent of $4,000
to $4,000, the greatest loss to machinery
and material being i'm the composing and
linotype rooms which were completely
gutted.

flames were communicated to the bindery.
on the third floor, and before the fire de-
partment could get TO work both floors were
entirely in flames. The fire in the bindery
was soon controlled. but the entire stock
was ruined by smoke and water. The
pressrocm, on the first floor. was drenched
with water but as the fire was not per-
mitted TO gain much headway the damage
there will not be heavy. The three lino-
types are ruined, while all the type on
the stones. galleys and racks and i'm the
cases was melted. The company had just
completed the type-setting for a large his
tory. and 1Z7 galleys of this were on the
racks, ready to be sent TO the pressroOm.
This is a total loss.

number of publications for the ISowen-Mer-
rill Publishing Company and the Lewis

1t will be seen that the smallest province
is larger than the smallest State in the
Union, and the island, as a whole, is five
eighths the size of New Jersey or Massa-
chusetts, larger than Connecticut, over
twice the size of Delaware, and four times
that of Rhode Island.
In population it is 100000 more than
Maine: twice that of New Hampshire;
more than Vermont and Rhode Island com
Dined; within 100000 of Connecticut; more
than the two Dakotas; twice that of Ore
gon: nearly twice that of Washington,
and almost as great as Wyoming, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah. Nevada and Idaho
together.
The inhabitants are Visayans. Several
thousand wild MundOs and few Negritos
dwell In the Businesses of the mountains.
