HalIhnt in Alaskan Nafers.

Washington special Minneapolis Journal. One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch cargoes in few hours time. and it is no strange thing to see a hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days. Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had 133.000 pounds of halibu5 caught off the Alaskan coast in three and a half days by eighteen men. At three cents per pound this cargo was worth s, 800.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.

1t Took Time to Introduce It and Bring
 It to It's Present Perfection
 From the Paper Trade: While va- rious kinds of printed fabrics were known to the people of most remote antiquity it was not till the eighteenth century that wallpaper anywhere near it's present form came into common use in Europe, though it appears to have been used much earlier in China few rare examples which may be as early as the sixteenth century exist in England, but these are limitations. gen orally in flock, of the old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets, and hence the style of the design in no way shows the date of the wallpaper, the same traditional patterns being reproduced with little or no change for many years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent ed. Up to that time wallpapers were printed on small square pieces of hand made paper and were very expensive. On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural decora- tions, such as tapestry, stamped leather and paper cloth A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers of that time: The method of printing wall papers Of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been

Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by machinery, the design being eHt on the surface of wooden rollers, under which the paper passes. The chief drawback 10 this process is that all the eoIofs are applied rapidly. one after the other, without allowing each to dry separately. as is done in hand printing. somewhat blurred appearance is usually the result

BLOODY INCIDENT
 IN FAMILY AFFAIR
Morris FoIey's Wife Held the
 Irate Man.

New York, June S.-Morris Foley, suffer ing from two bullet wounds and cuts in the head accuses his wife and her daugh-s ter, Hannah Pool, of attempting his mur-e der and the two women are in custody at Sheepshead Bay. Foley says his wife held him while his step-daughter shot him. Foley is 56 years old and a mechanic. He has lived at Sheepshead Bay all his life, and has acquired considerable property. His family consists of his wife, Ellen fl years old; daughter, Hannah, Pool and two little girls. The younger children ac- cording to the wife and elder daughter, were the cause of his injuries
 A disturbance in the Foley household at tracted the attention of neighbors and the police last night. When officers inquired for Foley his wife and step-daughter said they did not known where he was. The house was entered by the policemen, who found everything in a state of confusion. In nearly every room the furniture had heen bent and smashed. All the windows were broken.
 On the floor the police found blood stains which led down the stairs to the base ment. There Foley was found seemingly dead, lying in a dark corner under the stairway ulueF u wash luD HIS luce aIlu clothing were covered with blood. close examination showed that there was a large bullet wound in his head from which blood was still flowing.
 Another bullet wound was found in the mans neck just under the right jaw. There were also three vicious looking cuts on Foley's head, which appeared to have been inflicted with dull axe. The wounds had evidently been made several hours be- fore. An ambulance was called and when it arrived the surgeon applied restoratives. Ten minutes elapsed before Foley showed signs of returning consciousness.
 "Who shot and beat you?' asked the policeman.
 My wife Helen and our daughter Han nah," Foley replied.
 My wife held me fast while my daughter fired at me with a revolver"
 "Where did this happen?'
 Here in the house." Foley said. "They got mad because l beat the children"
 Before he could say more the injured man lapsed into unconsciousness. He was taken to the hospital with no hope for his recovery.
 The women both denied Foeys story. They said they had been shopping in Brooklyn and arrived home at 6 o'clock Foley was drunk, and had broken nearly all the furniture in the house and half a dozen panes of glass in the windows and was beating the two little girls. As the wife and daughter appeared, they say, Foley threw a lighted lamp at them.
 Mother and daughter fought with the father and finally put him out. They knew nothing more about him until his body was found in the basement

done and the mansion was badly in need of such work So little is known about the carly plans of the White House that It was with great difficulty that the pipes and sewers could be traced. For long time Colonel Bingham has been collecting data about the White House with the hope of getting up a pictorial history of it. He was surprised to find so little known about 1t. He has discovered some pieces of plans and a fragment of a drawing of the original, but the latter is badly torn, and mucn oi It has been destroyed by worms. The other day his attention was called to complete set Of public building records, and in these he found some very nteres Nng data. They show that at one time the White House, where the conserVatories are now built, was used as stables and tAat there was a granery and a barn attached to the eNecu- tive mansion also and built adjoining the stables
 On the west side of the White House was an ice house, which was filled every winter with ice from the Potomac for the use of the presidents family, and state ment accompanying this which showed that economy was the reason for building 1t. The foundations of the ice house are still to be seen.
 One day last week while the workmen were digging place for a sewer they were obliged to go through what is known as the strong room the place where the silver and the most valuable possessions Of the White House are kept that are not in constant use. The workmen unearthed two large chests, one of them marked James Mon- roe" and the other Baron de Twael.' The question arose why this chest, if it was bought for the White House, should be marked with Monroe The only explanation given by the steward was that it was bought during MT. Monroe's administra- ton.
 The other chest gave more trouble still. But Colonel Bingham found a paper which showed at one time lot of silver had been bought for the executive mansion in Paris with other belongings of Baron de Twael. This accounted for the fact that much of the silver used in the White House today is marked with a CT" The letter '@T'' on the silver at the White House has long been a mystery there and has been the basis of much discussion by the various occupants In the old chest which was unearhed there were found some pieces of plate with the full name of Twael upon it.
