PENCILS BY THE MILE
ONLY ONE ITEM OF G. P. O..
SUPPLIES.

Three miles of lead pencils and one-half
million rubber bands.
The foregoing articles were cited today
as two items in the list of prospective
supplies for the government printing Of
flee for the fiscal year that will begin
next Wednesday.
The statement was made at the public
printery today that the board Of awards
appointed to pass on samples submitted
by bidders for the annual contracts for
supplies and material for the use of the
government printing office for the fiscal
year 1909 have completed their work. and
final action by the public printer will fol-
low as soon as possible. A large number
of samples were submitted by prospective
contractors. it is said. and from this fact
it is expected that prices will be "a trifie
closer than for several years. Awards of
contracts for paper are made by the joint
committee on printing of Congress- but all
other supplies and material are passed on
by the public printer.
Bond in the amount of 500 is required
on all contracts of 81 600 or over. and
successful bidders may be required to
furnish such material as may be ordered
by the War Department for the use of
the government of the Philippines. All
material and supplies must be subject to
the inspection. count, weight or meas
urement of the public printer An addi-
tional proposition has been the amount of
discount allowed by the bidder for pay
ment within ten days after acceptance by
the Office.
A brief illustration of the amount of
material and supplies necessary to main
tain the big printery for year may be
given as one-half million rubber bands.
one and half tons of nails, 5000 gallons
of oil. over 100 tons of metal for COM
posing machines. nearly $4,000 worth OF
book cloth and gold leaf to the amount of
$4,000. The lead pencils used in the Of
flee, if laid end to end. would reach
about three miles. An item for washing

THE THEhTER.
New National Theater.

The AbOrn Opera Company presented
"Erminie" at the National Theater last
night before a splendid house. with Pau
line Hall in the title role. There are few.
IL any, operas which have taken deeper
hold on the popular heart than this bright.
beautiful opera of "Erminie." and. no
matter by whom it might be offered. It's
innate charm and beauty would always
assure a good turnout of those who
heard it in the days gone by. It's tuneful
melodies have long since passed into the
realm of household songs. and many there
are of the rising generation who have
been sung to sleep with the music of Its
beautiful lullaby
None of the famous artists Of old who
first appeared In ''Erminie'' is more close
ly associated with it in the popular mind
and memory than Pauline Hall. and when
she first appeared last night the hearty
applause that welcomed her was not only
a tribute to her merits as a star. but a
heartfelt greeting of an old friend as
we'll.
Her voice rang with it's old-time charm
In the songs which she made famous in
days of yore. and her beauty seems per-
ennial, for time has not dimmed it.
AS each Of the old familiar Songs was
sung in turn the heart Of her audience
warmed more and more to her and mani
tested itself ip applause that was not
content to be suppressed.
Harold Blake's beautiful tenor voice was
quite an acquisition and received hearty
recognition earning in his one solo a
triple encore.
AS Ravennes and Cadeaux the latter
the role made famous by Francis Wilson.
Forrest Huff and Charles Meyer were
quite satisfactory. Mr.. Meyers presenta-
ton of Cadeaux was especially good. Elk
cept in the makeup there was no at
tempt at imitation of Wilson, and the
result was worthy of commentator.
Sol Solomon as Simon, waiter. was
exceedingly funny at all times. and never
too ambitious.
Huntington Mays splendid voice nver
sounded better than in the role of Mar
uuis de Ponvert, while Phil Branson's
character sketch of the Chevaiier de
Brabazon merits favorable mention.
Carrie Reynolds. who essayed the role
of JavOtte. was conscientious. painstaking
and clever She sang sweetly and played
her part with vim and spirit.
"Erminte" Is an opera which is not only
dear to the public heart, but must in
variably tax the company that presents 1t
because of the comparisons which it sug-
gests of those who made it when 1t was
first performed.
While no one expected last nights pro-
duction to even approximate the ''Ermi-
admission that. when all things are con-
sidered. the Aborn Company merits high
praise for it's splendid offering, and those
who wish again to hear the opera that
charmed them in the past need have no
fear that any of it's traditions will be
marred by the company which is now
so well presenting it at the National.

Building This Morning.

Firemen and policemen responded to an
alarm turned in from box SIG this morn
ing about 1:45 o'clock, and found a blaze
in the tailoring establishment Of Edward
Marcus, 3O6 Pennsylvania avenue south
east. Members Of the families occupying
the upper floors were aroused by the odor
of smoke. and when they started from
their apartment the smoke was so dense
that they were unable to find their way
to the front door. Firemen found the
occupants on the landing on the second
floor and assisted them to the street
While members of the truck company
were engaged In the rescue, other fire
men were fighting the flames.

the ffremen to fear there would be an
explosion. About $500 damage was caused
the building. while the damage to the
stock is estimated at about 500 The
firemen were unable to determine the
origin of the blaze.

They have changed for the better. while

Tug Juno Burns at Charleston.

The old tug Juno, many years employed
in towing work on the Potomac river and
Chesapeake bay, and sold to parties at
Charleston, S. c.. about year ago. was
destroyed by fire at Charleston several
weeks ago
The Juno was in service as tender to a
dredging outfit at work deepening the
channels to Charleston harbor when she
was burned and so badly damaged that
her owners will not rebuild her.
The Juno was brought to the Potomac
from lew York about twenty years ago,
and did good service towing heavily laden
vessels from this city to the capes and
bringing vessels here. About five years
ago, when the towing work on the river
became slack she was withdrawn from
service and lay at the Alexandria shipyar
until last summer, when she was sold and
taken south.
