All That IL Needed Now for That Infant In
dustry, the Worlds Fair.
Ex-senator Palmer and Maj. Handy, with the
weight of the worlds fair on their shoulders,
called on the Presiden. this morning for the
purpose Of getting some papers which they left
with the President during their interview of
yesterday and which they did not intend for him
to keep. Their chat was a short one and had
no special reference to the exposition. Gen.
Davis, the director general, would have gone
with the other gentlemen had he been at all
presentable, but he is now rather unsightly
owing to an enlarged countenance caused by a
bad tooth that began to ache last night. hence
he kept his room at the Riggs House.
YOUNG LADY TAKES SENATOR PALMER AND
MAJOR HANDY.
This fact was regretted by Senator Palmer, as
he and the major descended the stairway and
ran almost into the arms of a very pretty young
lady who liz taking photographs of the Exc
cutive Mansion for one of the magazines. She
showed her enterprise by inducing the two
gentlemen to stand still a moment while she
exposed them before plate no, exposed a
plate before them. The Senator remarked
that Davis exaggerated physiognomy would
have made valuable addition to the group"
He said to STAR reporter: I'VE are not
going to have any more meetings Of the COM
mission until April. There is nothing for us to
do. The child has been born, and all that re-
mains is to get large spoon and feed it some

perienced genuine sensation today. Many Of
them had read in the morning papers an &C.
count of the sudden death yesterday while at
his desk Of Capt. Edward Winnie fellow clerk
Capt. Winnie was known to the great majority,
and his popularity, rs well as the alleged cir
cumstances surrounding his death. gave rise to
general feeling of sadness. They had seen
him in apparently good health yesterday and
now to learn that he was dead was a shock that
was extremely painful. Their surprise was
only equsled by their joy wnen upon arrival
at the Office this morning they found Capt.
Winnie at his desk as much alive as ever. There
was a scene of great rejoicing. Capt Winnie
had no explanation to make. except to say that
he was not dead. Capt. Winnie read with a
good deal of interest the biographical sketch
which followed the announcement of his death
in the published statement. He said that every
word Of the publication was true except the
trifiing fact that he had not died. Capt Winnie
is well known in this city. having been in the
employ Of W. H. Houghton Il Co. and Julius

was in very bad humor, and shortly after he

preached him for an interview. The pugilist
wns in the company Of lady At the time, and,
declaring himself insulted ut what he called
the presumption Of the newspaper man in
seeking an interview at such time he reached
forth and smote the reporter violently on the
nose. The reporter fell all in heap and it was
some time before he became conscious.
Sullivan came before the curtain last night and
explained his side OF the affair. He said that a
local paper had given him a ''roast" because q
reporter had come up to see him and he had
refused to be interviewed. He said he had
pushed the reporter out and shut the door.
Continuing, he said:
Il don't care il the newspapers attack me if
il does them good and me no harm. People
will come to see il my picture is as bad as It's
painted, and that helps me-" IApplause.l
