Over $500, 900 Loss by Fire, Sunday, in
Business Section.

Glens Falls, N. Y, April 27.-The most
disastrous fire since 1864 visited Glens
Falls early today, entailing a property
loss conservatively estimated as over
$500, 900.
The fire started in the clothing store OF
Webb Bros. and from thence spread to
the large plant of the Joseph Fowler
Shirt and Collar Co., occupying the upper
story of nearly the entire block Then,
famed by high wind, the flames commu-
nicated to neighboring buildings occupied
by the following firms: Eagle Clothing
Co; Quinn & Co., drugs: Grand Union
Tea Store; Wilson & Root, gents fur
nishings: plant of the Daily Times; Budd
Bros, bicycles; Coot's insurance office;
Postal Telegraph Co.; Potter. Kellog &
Ring, lawyers; .Muhlfelder's millinery
store; Whipple & Robinson, hardware;
b. b. Fowler, dry goods; 7. Kolbfeisch,
mill supplies; w. III. Arnold. liquors.
All of those in the list sustained prac-
tically total losses. Assistance came
from South GIens Falls, Sandy Hill and
Fort Edwards.
The destruction of the Fowler shirt
plant throws nearly SEQ operatives out
of employment and 200 more will be out
of work temporarily.
1t is thought the insurance will nearly
cover the losses. There were no cas-
ualtieS.

Mr. William Haywood, formerly
much in Augusta as secretary to the
late James G. Blaine, is receiving
many congratulations over a very sue
cessful dinner that he gave here a few
nights ago in honor of Gov. Sanford z.
Dole of Hawaii, Row in Boston. Speak
er Henderson, Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Senator Cullom, Senator Clark of
Wyoming, and a score of other promi-
nent Republicans We're his guests and
they talked the glories of Hawaii.
even from the time that the late John
l.. Stevens of Augusta, then minister
from this country, raised the stars and
stripes over the islands The best of
good feeling prevailed and anecdotes of
the Mid Pacific We're told with great
eclat. Stories of the Kanakas and the
visits of congressman to the islands
were recited, setting the company III q
roar. More serious matters were also
discussed and the fealty OF the dis
tinsuished diners pledged to the gov
ernor, whose forbears lived in the Ken
nebec valley. BY training Mr.. Hay
wood is a diplomat and the political
effect of the dinner will be felt for Il
ton of territorial affairs in Washing
ton.
1t will probably be well along
towards July before the members OF
the Maine delegation compIete their
work in Washington this year and ger
back to their homes in the Pine Tree
state. Most of them still have a great
deal to do, chiefly with the appropria-
ton bills. Governor Burleigh will
have to watch with no little care for
some time the public building items
Mr.. Allen is working diligently for
several large appropriations for Port
land, carried on the Sundry Civil bill.
Governor Powers has some important
legislation to help along with the
House committee OH territories. not
directly affecting Maine but important
to that committee Of which he is a
member. Mr.. Littlefield has a more OF
less direct interest in some half dozen
measures that will come mp in the
House in the next five or six weeks.
Senator Hale's burdens grow heavier
as the end Of the session approaches for
he has to do with the winding UP of
the appropriation bills. He will be a
leading conferee on at least two of the
important appropriation bills, that on
naval matters and the Sundry Civil bill.
These are two of the hardest bills 10
get ont of conference and almost in
variably lead to some wranglng be-
tween the top houses. Senator Frye
has accomplished n great deal in the
way of legislation thus far this SEES
sion but is fortunate in having gotten
most Of the bills, in which he was di-
rectly interested, well on the way to
the White House.

The only real way to enjoy n good
play, is to see 1t. There is no doubt
but what there are some bad plays,
and even the most gifted of play
wrEhts only strike pay-ore at times.
But when Greek Meets Greek" bears
the CLEAN of genius. James ONeill
delighted in it. Olga Nethersole
thought much OF It, when she played 1t
under the title of "A Daughter of
France" and the English success is
yet fresh in memory. Not sentence in
il has been changed o" transpose6. 1t
is as near perfection as narrative can
be woven upon the loom of language.
Edmund Breese. who shared the
honors with James O'NeilI, in his pro-
duction of the play. has secured sole
rights To the piece. and it is one of the
strong features of the Stock Company.
No less interesting will be the pro-
duction of "'rhe Mysterious Mr.. Bugle.'
which wasyon OF the New York Lyceum
theatres great successes. under Daniel
Frohman's management. The two
plays mentioned above. are excellent
examples of the romantic and farcial
school of play -wrighting, while The
Shamrock and the Rose will show
what the company can do in the way
of melodrama. 1t is a stirring mar
rative of Irish peasant life, and is said
to he better than THE Shaughran."
"A Scrap of Paper" is of the society
comedy order. 1t has much delicacy
and heart interest. and offers great
opportunities for the ladies to display
elaborate toilets. "The Ticket OF
Leave Man" was the first really great
detective play. ''Hawkshaw' has had
many an imitation. but the only one TO
approach. has been Sherlock Holmes.
Shakespeares THE Merchant of
Venice" represents the classic. and
thus does the Edmund Breese Stock
Company run the gauntlet of the whole
range of dramatic literature. That the
company is fully capable of the work
they have undertaken, is evineed by
the columns of Auditory notices that
reach our exchanges. The engage
ment of FIVE nights at the Opera House
begins tomorrow evening. Seats now
