A NEW EXECUTIVE MANSION.
President Mckinley Opposed to En-
IarEinE the White House.

President Mckinley Opposed to En-
lnrEinS the White House.
President Mckinley is opposed to the
proposed enlargement of the white
house. He feels that more room is
needed, but he does not see the neees-
sity of really extensive improvements,
costing large sum OF money. What
: the president wants to see is a new
building between the white house and
the treasury building, this to be used an
an executive mansion, the white house
to he left exclusively for the official
headquarters of the chief executives.
Among the many congressman who
visit the white house there is almost a
unanimity OF sentiment that something
ought to be done about new building.
There is q wide divergence Of views as
to exactly what ought to be done, but
no difference that something should be
done. or course, it is not believed that
the present session of congress will take
up the matter, but several congressman
intimate that when +he regular session
begins in December they will bring the
subject before that body in the shape Of
bill.
The president may have something to
say in some message to congress. Col.
Bingham. superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds, stands ready
to act on any request of congress.

ATTACKED BY A DEVIL FISH.

Two Fishermen in Tampa Fay, Fla,
Have an Exciting Adventure.
Will Strong and Harry Davis had an
exciting adventure with a devil fish in
the bay at Tampa, Fla, the other day
that will be recalled many times. While
fishing at the Gadsden point buoy a
huge devil fish came up near them. 1t
swan around the boat several times,
causing the men great anxiety, as they
had nothing to fight the hideous thing
with. Finally in moving aboutit struck
one of the hooks. Off it shot like a
streak, taking hook, line and pole, the
fishermen having no desire o'stop it.
Later it came back, SKINNED around
the boat, hitting it several times; then
backed off and came for it with,a rush.
The men by skillful shove turned the
boat and the monster missed it. The
fish grew angrier and finally hit the
boat with resounding crash. The men
hastily tripped anchor, and, rowing to
beacon tripod near by, climbed out
and ran up as high as possible. The
devil fish soon demolished the boat and
then bunted the beacon several times.
binding that immovable, he circled
around it, never going far away. The
men remained there several hours.
Finally q sloop was hailed, and it sailed
up, and on its approach the devil fish
swan slowly off. The fish was fully
six feet wide, while its flippers extend
ed over ten feet.

CHIEF MOORE USES. KITES
Important Development Made in
Work of Weather Bureau.
study of Upper Currents of Air Will
Make 1t Possible to Forecast
Sixteen Hours Longer Than
at Present.

The most significant development in
weather forecasting for years, making
it possible to forecast for q period at
least 16 hours longer than at present,
and more accurately, has been attained
by the weather bureau and soon will
FURNISH practical results.
This is the result of experiments with
kites flown at distances one to two miles
above the surface of the earth, which
have been quietly conducted in Wash
ington city for some weeks. Daily read
ings have been taken at this altitude,
and the fact has been established that
shifting of the wind takes place at a
mile level above the earth's surface from
12 to 16 hours before the same change Of
direction takes place on the surface.
This is due to the same forces which
operate to cause wind shifts to produce
a storm, one condition being dependent
on the other. Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson has taken great interest in the
experiments which were made by Chief
Moore of the weather bureau and his
consultations with Prof Moore have re-
suited in the formulation of policy
which will make weather predictions
more valuable in the future.
The most imperfect part of weather
forecasts now is the prediction as to
rain or snow. Meteorologists for the
last ten years have been impressed with
the fact that future data as to storms
must come from knowledge of upper
air conditions.
The aeroplane Investigations, as an
neunced, have reached that point where
it can be safely stated that within six
months the government weather bu-
reau, for the first time in the history of
any meteorological service, can con-
etruct a telegraphic synchronic chart
based on air conditions one mile above
the earth. The chart will cover the con-
ditions between the Alleghenies and the
Rockies at the outset.
Chief Moore says this step probably
will make new epoch in the weather
forecasting problem. With these high
level readings the bureau will have the
moisture content of the upper strata as
well as the lower. 1t will be seen how
important this double information is
when it is considered that the two
strata Of air made by shifting of the
wind become mixed within "a hours
and that the precipitation will depend
upon the average moisture 0f the mass

Hawaiian Poi.

Poi, which always takes promi-
nent place in the fascinating stories
which have been written of Hawaiian
life, is being imported into this country.
1t has always, or for some time. been
served in the hotels and private houses
of Honolulu, where it is used as corn
starch OF eornmeal. 1t is said to be
very delicious and nourishing. The taro
root, from which it is made. is raised in
the United States. The flour is some
what granulated and of gray-blue
color. 1t will not be eaten raw in this
country, as it is by the native island
ers, or sour, the condition when they
consider it great dainty. Poi is said
to be excellent for invalids and for
young children.

WISHES WAGES FOR LIFE.


Unique Plan of n Kansas City Man to
Secure a Permanent Job.
John w. Henry, judge of division No.
4 of the jackson county circuit court,
Mo-, has had generations experience
on the bench and at the bar, but some
thing new in lawsuit was sprung on
him the other day. William Sevedge
is suing Fairbanks, Morse G. Co., at
Kansas City for $2.25 per day for the
term Of his natural life. This is said
to be the first suit of the kind ever
brought. 1t all came about in this way:
Sevedge went to work for the COM
pany in February, 1893, one bright.
crisp Monday morning. On the follow
ing Saturday, about noon, he was hurt
by the fall of an elevator and claims
to have sustained a rupture. He waived
all damages as a result of the accident
in consideration of being employed at
$2.25 a day until he was fully recov-
cred.
Here is where the claim for wages
during his lifetime comes in. Mr. Sew
edge claims that his injury is perma-
nent, and consequently he will never
recover during the term of his natural
life. He therefore contends that he
should be paid wages until he is fully
recovered, as per his contract.
Sevedge worked for the company for
three years, and then their relations
ceased when his wages were cut to
$1.75 per day. He claims he was dis
charged, while the company claims he
quit of his own volition. Sevedge is also
suing for $1,999.99 damages for the in
juries he received in the elevator acci-
dent.

DIVORCED BUT NOT SEPARATED.
Guarreling Couple Discover Way to

Get Along Amicnbly.
A San Diego (Cal.) man who has just

when he went home to find the woman
still holding fort. For months they had

although under the same roof, and few
words had passed between them. The
man was still more surprised on enter
ing the dining-room to observe that the
table was set for two and that his ex-
wife was singing as merrily as in the
good old days Of their early wedlock.
Come" she said, dinner is ready" and
without word of explanation or ques-
tioning these two people-both away
over 50-sat down together and enjoyed

When the dishes were washed and put
away the wife that was came up to the
ex-husband and said:
"Well, how do you like the new ar
rangement?"
First rate" he replied; "but can't
understand it,"
"Oh, that's all right" said she, 1--WE
can live this way in contentment. The
other way we quarrel. Now. then, sup
pose you retain me as housekeeper?
Twenty dollars per month and board is
all 1 ask"
This struck the ex-husband favorabiy,
and the bargain was closed on the spot.
The couple have not had sign of
trouble since, although they were in hot
water for 32 years fretting under the
marital yoke. They dare not quarrel
much now for fear one will leave the
other in the lurch. He must have his
meals cooked and she must have place
to stay. Together they are happy now.

THE RUIZ INQUIRY CLOSES.

MIR. Calhoun Finishes His Investigation
and Reports on the Subject are Sent to
Washington.
Havana, May 31.-The commission
conducting the inquiry into the cir
cumstances surrounding the death OF
DR.. Ruiz closed its labors Saturday. A
mysterious messenger from Washing
ton came from Tampa on the steamer
Mascotte in the morning, but did not
land. Mr.. Fishbacl, secretary OF the
commission, accompanied by Consul
General Lees son, went on board the
steamer before she sailed and held a
consultation with the stranger, and 1t
is supposed that they delivered to him
the report OF the commission and other
highly important dispatches from Con-
sui General Lee and Mr.. Calhoun, who
was selected to investigate DR.. Ruiz's
death, to be conveyed to the state de-
partment at Washington.
The messenger was registered upon
the Mascottes inward passenger list as
II. w. Kimball and the same name APP
peared on the steamers outward list.
DR.. Jose Congosto, the Spanish consul
at Philadelphia, who represented the
Spanish government in the inquiry,
is also understood to have for
warded long report to the Spanish
minister at Washington. Messrs. Cal
houn, Fishback and Congosto will leave
next Thursday for New York
A long conference was held Friday
between Mr.. Calhoun and the Marquis
De Montoro, chairman of the autono-
mist party, at which the Gu ban problem
and the political reforms for the island
offered by Spain were thoroughly dis
cussed in the presence of Dr. Congosto,
which fact is much commented upon.
OF the two reports understood to
have been sent from Havana by the
commission investigating the death of
DIR. Ruiz, one by Mr. Calhoun, who
represents the United States, and the
other by Jose Congosto, the Spanish
consul at Philadelphia, who acts for
the Spanish government, the former
will, it is said, agree with the state
ment of Consul General Lee that DR..
Ruiz died from conclusion of the brain,
the result of violence, after solitary
confinement of more than 13 days, re-
gardless of his treaty rights
Consul General Lee declined at Fri
days session Of the commission to
question the witnesses, who were in
terrogated only by the Spanish repre-
sentative. Consul General Lee will
shortly make areport on the Ruiz case,
and Mr. Calhoun will make further
report on other matters, such as the
money question, the state of the insur-
rection, the condition of American in
terests and the general suffering due
TO Gen. Weyler's style of campaign.
Consul General Lees position is just
what it was in February last. He
holds that Spain is responsible, since
Rniz died, because he was deprived of
his treaty rights. The exact facts as
to how DR.. Ruiz received the blow
which killed hir Gen. Lee and DR..
Calhoun could not learn, because half
of the witnesses examined by the com
mission were prisoners, and it is be-
lieved, were afraid to testify fully.
The remaining witnesses were the
jailors, who would not testify so as to
incriminate themselves. The relief of
suffering Americans by Consul General
Lee goes on daily. Several hundred
have already been assisted
