About A. NJ. yesterday fire was diseov-
cred in one of the guliies on the south side
OF Goat Island. 1t soon spread, and by 10
O'clock the grass all over the island was In
full blaze. The freboat Governor Irwin
was promptly dispatched in case any dan
ger should be threatened to the lighthouse
buildings, but no difficulty was experienced
in combining the fire TO the waste space. The
island was completely burned over, how
ever. The last time this happened was just
two years ago. On that occasion the fire
was at night, and furnished a spectacle that
attracted great deal Of attention. Yester-
day the flames were scarcely visible in the
broad light of day, and many parsons re-
fused TO believe there had been fire till
they saw the bIackened crest and the vol

She has always scrubbed. Her stories are
never actual stories from life. Few of the
people in them have an actual existence,
although, unconsciously of course. she has
been taking impressions aud storing them
up all her life. Her comprehension OF the
people OF whom she writes is an instinct,
inherited perhaps. She says that once she
compTehends a character she knows alb
sOlutely what that person would do under
any circumstances there is never any
doubt in her mind about it. That explains
the realistic strength of her dialogue.

are the proposed grand Conservatives. The
design contemplates the use OF the west
wing entirely in connection with the receiv-
ing-Darlors. and the last wing as an adjunct
to the east room and Official quarters in the
building.
MY idea of the two WINGS" said Mr..
Renner, rs to have them both halls of
paintings and s:atuary, with vaulted cell
lngs. frescoed and decorated In bias relief,
with stained glass domes, and connected
with the present mansion on the first floor
by means OF a corridor. with short
yeranda on each side and reviewing gal
leries above. that on the west side for the
use OF tie Presidents family and the east
gallery for officials and distinguis bed
guests. The galleries are to open into the
large rooms OF each wing, the rooms to be
one story above the basement and equal in
height to the two stories Of the present
building.
"la the east wing. as at present, is a
promenade-hall for use during entertain
ments. The room is S0xi0 feet and % feet
gold and white. The new west wing
would be used alternately for similar
purpose. One end of the building would
be thus used Tor the people TO assemble in
and the east end for n conyersati0n-room
after visitors have been presented 10 the
President. 1t is proposed to have an
entrance direct into each wing from the
north for the entrance and exit of visitors"
Mr.. Renner spoke OF the surroundings of
the executive mansion as being In an un-
sanitary condition. One objection Is that
the old conservatory is built at the west end,
where it does not get the proper purifying
mir OF the morning. and midday sun aud is
badly ventilated. Other surroundings are
described as fever-generating sections. Arch
itect Renner suggests that private resi-
dence. with suitable grounds. should be To-
Gated elsewhere in the district and that the
White House, as enlarged, be used only as
the official place for business and social af-
fairs connected with the operation OF the
Government.
The plan, as proposed by Mr. Renner.
with the picture showing the new wings,
VIII be submitted to the Congressional COM
miltee having charge of the White House al
