THE PRESIDENTS MANSION.
The White House will not Admit Change
New Executive Mansion Needed


WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. Especial.
For twelve years past the Superintendent
OF Public Grounds and Buildings Of the
District. has been trying to devise some
plan for enlarging the White House with
out marring its symmetry, but 1t is now
given us as a hopeless scheme. The
White House is beautiful i'm it's dignity
and simplicity and any addition would
ruin it's appearance, yet 1t Is en-
tirely inadequate for the needs
OF the Executive, combining as II
does the Presidents place OF abode
and the official headquarters Of the Pres
ident And now that President Mckinley
has asked for an increase in his clerical
force. the White House will be more
crowded than ever. Assistant Secretary
Pruden thinks the government should
erect a private mansion for the President.
so that the whole of the White House
could be utilized for offices A bill was
introduced in the F1fty-third Congress
for an appropriation Of one million dol
lars for a new Executive Mansion, but II
was never reported
Ihe State receptions al the White
House-four in number-which are given
every season in the months OF January
and February have drawn uncomfortably
large crowds. They have been brilliant.
but the crush In the past few years has
got beyond the point Of endurance. Sc
cretary Porter has made rule for Me-
Klnley's term which will greatly relieve
the lam. Heretofore cards were issued

That PurpOSe

A mass meeting of NOrwegians has
been called for next Sunday. Repre-
sentative Norwegians have issued the
following call: LAS the arrival of DR..
Nansen at San Francisco is drawing
near, and as we are sure that all Nor
wegians here viii join in honoring our
great cOmpatriot, we hereby call all
NOrwegians together to a general
mass meeting to be held at Pythian
Castle. 909 Market street, Sunday, De-
cember 26, 1897, at O'Clock p. Nj, for
the purpose of considering ways and
means by which to make as great and
as harmonious a demonstration as pos
sible. San Francisco, December %,
1897 Henry Lund, Swedish Norwegian
Consul; c. Hoel, pastor Scandinavian
Lutheran Church; John Fereen, assist
ant superintendent Sailors Home
John S. Lindtner, professor of music;
Elias Ruud.'
1t is the intention to organize at this
meeting, and a committee will be
elected with power to make all prep
arations The Norwegian Singing So
ciety has secured the assistance Of the
Swedish Glee Club and the Danish
Singing Society, and a grand chorus Of
nearly hundred voices is practicing
appropriate songs for the occasion. A
grand torchlight procession, with
bands and led by the singers, seems to
be one of the features which the Nor
Wegians will decide upon.

with the family of brother at Berke-
ley. Tonight his body is at the
Morgue.
This morning Smith was struck by
the Berkeley local train, and the par
GELS of Christmas toys that he was
carrying were strewn along the track.
He got off the Sacramento train near
B-street station and was walking
back to Berkeley. Smith was walking
along near the track and did not ap-
pear to hear the train coming up be
hind him. The engineer says he
whistled several times and slowed up,
but the man took no notice of the ap-
prOach of the train He was not kill
ed by the blow, but was severely in
jured internally. While being taken
to the Receiving Hospital he died.
a peculiar circumstance in cOnpec-
tion with Smiths death is that he
did not actually step on the track in
which the train was coming till it was
about thirty feet behind him, and toe
late to bring the train to a standstill
1t is the opinion of those who saw the
accident that Smith thought he was
stepping farther away from the Berke-
ley track and took the wrong direc-
ton.
The deceased had been working on a
ranch at Woodland and came to Berke-
ley for his Christmas holidays. He was
carrying a parcel of little toy animals
and Christmas cards and they were
picked up near his unconscious body.

WINE INDUSTRY BOOMING.
A Light Production in Europe Moy
Help Out California.

Things are Frightening up wonder
fully in the wine growing industry of
this State, and prospects are now bet
ter than they have been for a long
time. The California Wine Growers
Corporation has had an over supply
on it's hands, caused by heavy pro
duction in 1896, with very few large
sales, coupled by the production
of 1897.
At the recent annual convention of
the members it was decided to go out
and find a market throughout the
world. The result was more than had
been expected, and at a meeting of the
directors held yesterday the finances
were found to be in such a condition
that each of the stockholders will re-
ceive a handsome Christmas present.
The production in France this year
has not only been very light, but the
wines are of an inferior quality. and
prospects for California wines secur-
ing a permanent foothold in Europe
were never better.
