All the News for One m i l .
FURNISHED BY THE WASHBURN NEWS, WHICH
IS PUBLISHED BY LYON & HEALY.
One of the most interesting publications
which has reached our desk this week is
" T h e Washburn News," issued by Lyon &
Healy, of Chicago. It is claimed for this
little paper, which measures 6x9 inches,
that ''all the news is tersely told " and that
it " covers the music trade."
This cannot be disputed. No one, not
even the most rabid silverite will complain of
the price, which is one mill.
The different departments of the " Wash-
burn News " are evidently in the hands of
able editors. The quality of the local and
foreign news can be estimated from the
following excerpts:

New York's Postal Restriction.
Thanks to the prompt and vigorous action
of the business men of New York, and the
few other cities whose postal facilities were
to be curtailed by the Postmaster-General
owing to the lack of a needed appropriation
by Congress, it seems now as if Congress
would vote the necessary money to leave
things as they are.
As Postmaster-General James said at the
great meeting of business men in this city
last Monday night, "New York is the Clear-
ing House of the Post Office Department.
It is the vitals of the whole system, and if
you interfere with the service of the Post
Office in New York it is felt in the remotest
hamlet of the United States."
The postal business of New York is grow-
ing all the time, and instead of restriction,
expansion should be the order of the day.
There should be no economy in the Postal
Department, at least as far as this city is con-
cerned, because it is run at a tremendous

Fire at Lonaconing, fid.
[Special to The Review.]
Cumberland, Md., Jan. 25, 1898.
The building occupied by T. A. Smith &
Co., piano and organ dealers at Lonaconing,
Md., was destroyed by fire yesterday. The
fire department was fortunate in extinguish-
ing the flames before the building was entire-
ly consumed. The loss by fire and water is
estimated at between $6,000 or $7,000. The
stock and building were insured.

Camilie Urso Uses the "flehlin.
The Mehlin record in the West, as else-
where, is rapidly becoming phenomenal. At
Cleveland, O., Camille Urso has said recently
that the Mehlin Grand is her choice for her
future concerts.
Another famous profes-
sional, Louis W. Sprague, pianist, has be-
come a Mehlin enthusiast.
He has declared to the firm that he is more
than pleased with the instrument now in his
possession, and will use it at his concerts to
be given in several cities during the balance
of the season.
Sohmer & Co.
It was learned at the Sohmer warerooms
yesterday that all necessary details prior to
the impending move of quarters to Fifth
avenue will not be completed until about the
middle of February.

In the matter of the application of a

John H. Spellman, receiver, through his at-

York, has issued a notice asking all persons
indebted to said corporation or having in
their possession any property or effects of
said corporation to render an account or de-
liver to him on or before Feb. 28th. The
creditors of said corporation are also required
to present their respective accounts and de-
mands on or before the same date.
Gibson Piano Co.
Steady demand for Gibson & Co. products
and the new Boothe Bros, pianos is reported
at the Gibson warerooms. The Gibson Co.
have secured control of the Hornung touch
regulator, which has been found extremely
useful by students and professionals.
The firm declared their willingness to sup-
ply promptly any information required con-
cerning this regulator, which they think
ought to be in the hands of all pianists and
their pupils.
Frank E. I-egg has been doing some good
work for the Ann Arbor organ in his recent
trip through his home State.
