EX-SENATOR ]. G. FAIR.
GOSSIP ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST
PECULIAR MlLLloNAIRES.
His Travels and Adventures-Kalskau
Swim-How Fair Took in Justice Field.
A Story of Bayard-Senator Fairs Life
at San Francisco.

Special Correspondence.l
WASHINGTON, March 12.-"James G. Fair
and servant -r-
This is the way the millionaire ex-senator
from Nevada signed his name on the hotel
register when he arrived in Washington the
other day. A tall, straight, broad should
cred, full chested, rather heavy man, his hair
is now gray, and his beard is of that sable
silver which covered the chin of Hamlet's
father.
He is now out of public life, but he de-
lights in telling the stories of his congress
sional experiences, and Of how he carried his
state in his pocket and gave offices so freely
to his handful of constituents He is a man
of ability, and he has had the money making
sense to such degree that he is worth, per-
haps, 81, ,000, 900, and he is one Of the few
western millionaires whose gains have been
greater than their losses.
He is a man of wide travel, and Ichatted
with a California judge last night about the
stories which Fair told when he returned
from his trip around the world.
s'Senator Fair" said he, likes to take in
his friends. He lives only for pleasure, but
his tales of adventure rival those Of Baron
Munchausen. He sailed from San Francisco
to the Sandwich Islands and he was there
received, so he says, by the king and queen.
This is probably correct, as the Hawaiians
toady to all men of money, but Fair tells the
story of a water excursion which he took
with the king and queen. Upon their return
to the islands storm came up. and the
breakers were so boisterous that no small
boat could land. King Kslakaua was not at
all dismayed, however. He jumped over
board and the queen followed him, both
leaving their clothes on the boat! Fair de-
scribes them as good swimmers, and he says
they kicked the waves with grace and cool
ness until they got to shore.
Fair visited the sugar plantations OF the
Sandwich Islands, and he sized up Spreckels'

the tiue shown. The inside wall ana the
warm flue is exactly the place for the plumb

it, as is usual, would ruin a very nice ar
rangement and present no compensating ad-
vantages In practice it would be well to
push the Kitchen window far enough toward
the dining room wall SO that it would be away
from the stove The ventilating connection

placed a drip drain going to the outside, and
