Bad Fire, Saturday Night,
At South Windham.

Portland, Me-. May 26.-About half
of the plant of the Androscoggin Pulp
& Paper Co. at South Windham was
destroyed by fire Saturday night
The whole property is worth over
s4o0,00o and the loss on the new mill
stock house and big paper machine

are 500 tons jute stock, $4,000: $500
tons of sulphite, SOL 1000; five box
freight cars with contents, $50
making total of $27S,500.
The fire broke out in the paper mill
late in the evening and before long
1t became evident to the volunteer
hre fighters employed in the mills
that it was beyond their power to
cope with it, so call was sent to
Portland for assistance and Engine 3
WAS sent to help put out the blaze.
Had ii not been for the timely arrival
of this apparatus the loss would have
been far greater than it was. SO it is
claimed by those who watched the
blaze.

ANDRoMEDA's GREAT NEBULA
Most Astonishing object In Hcsvens
and Long a Mystery 20 As
tronomera.

One of the most astonishing OBJ
jects in the heavens is the great neb-
ula IN the constellation Andromeda,
which is visible as a misty specl1 to
the naked eye. IL has long puzzled
astronomers because. while its struc-
ture-a series of vast rings sur
rounding a central mass-suggests
a gaseous constitution, its spectrum
is continuous, resembling that of the
sun. IL has been suggested that it
may be composed of stars constitute
ing a universe external to ours.
Studies of its parallax, however, in
dicate that il is nearer to US than
some of the well-known stars. such
as Capella; and Gore. the English
astronomer, points out that if the
Andromeda nebula were assumed to
be an external universe. having a
diameter comparable with that Of
the milky way, its mass would be
forty million million times the mass
Of the sun. This is regarded as in
credible and so may be taken as an
additional argument in favor of the
view that this nebula is a member
Of our system.-Harper's Weekly.

WILL ISSUE BULLETINS
Brennan to Tell of Transactions In
State Treasury Department.

In direct contrast to the methods of
Republican treasurer, who, when
asked about his transactions in the
treasury department, replied: 'It's
none of the peoples business" John
p. Brennan, Democrat, when elected
treasurer, will give the widest public
ity possible to everything he does.
To keep the people posted, he will
ask for a small appropriation to pay
the expense of issuing bulletins to
Ohio newspapers at frequent inter
walls, showing the balance in the state
treasury the amounts in active and
inactive repositories and giving other
facts about the department that
would interest the people. Republi-
can treasurers strove to hide their ac-
tions, while Brennan will strive to
give publicity to his.
Convinced that the competitive bid
ding plan for deposits of public mon
ey should be extended, he will do all
in his power to warrant securing
law which will compel all custodians
Of city funds to deposit this money
under the competitive bidding plan.
AS the law now is, councils may pro-
vide for the awards of money under
this plan, but there is nothing which
forces them to do so. In great
many cities the officials have not
taken advantage of the competitive
bidding plan which has proven to be
so profitable in the state.

HOW GRAVES GOT.
HIS LOWER PRICES
Purchased Stationery Supplies From
Same Companies Cheaper Than
His Predecessor.

In the state stationery room, which
is under his control, Secretary of
State Graves has demonstrated how
a business man who attends to busl-
ness can effect big saving in pur-
chasing supplies.
Prior to Graves advent in this de-
partment, apparently no effort was
made to throw the different dealers
into competition for contracts for fur
nishing supplies. But Graves went
into the open market and purchased
where the supplies could be secured
at the, best price. No favorites were
played but all business men had an
equal opportunity to get some of
these contracts. No one was given
an order because he was a third or
fourth cousin to some state official It
was a straight business proposition,
with nothing but price and quality
taken into consideration.
A net saving in the purchase of
supplies during the first year of Mr..
Graves administration over the last
year Of the Republican regime
amounted to $2,49743. There was
saving in every single transaction in
this department.
For lthographing work per thou
sand, Graves paid $1035, while his
predecessors paid $25; Graves paid
$1.90 for official certificates as against
$3.50; 1884 was paid by Graves for
official licenses per thousand, while
his predecessor paid $314; Graves
bought brooms for $500 per dozen, as
compared with $6.75, while he pur-
chased chamois skins for So per kip
of 30 skins and his Republican prede-
cessor paid $1495.
The zealousness with which Graves
looked after the states interest in
these transactions is displayed in the
official records, which show that, in
a great many instances, the lower
prices we're obtained from the same
companies which sold them under the
Republican administration at the
higher price. The quality and brand
"f the goods were the same, -

According to the bulletin of the fed

In the last ten years.
The price Of tlour has increased 80

During these ten years of rising

Does any sane man believe that If
these men In ten years did nothing to
retard the rise Of prices which are
