Much regret is felt by the many Wash
ingtonians who have spent the last sum
mer and many previous ones on the North
Shore of the Massachusetts coast over
the news of the burning Of the new Mag
nolia Hotel This hOstclry. a favorite
with many along the Shore. was burned
TO the ground at an early hour Saturday
morning. The Oceanside, the largest ho-
tel on the North Shore, was badly dam
aged by smoke and water. and the at
tractive little shops on the other side
of the hotel were destroyed The loss
on the shops is only $500, and it is hoped
the owner, Miss Stearns. will rebuild
them before another season rolls around
By rare good luck the Grill was not de
stroyed
Painters We're at work on the building
at the time the fire started, and it is
thought that the process of burning off
the OLD paint may have started the blaze
which gained headway under the strong
ocean breeze blowing The loss was
$loo.000 the insurance being $4,000 Much
sympathy is felt for the owner, DR.. New
