PRESIDENTS EXPERIENCE.
Takes Refuge In state Department
building and Finds His Advisers
Are Not at Home TO Him.

President Mckinley had an inter-
esting experience recently when he
and Assistant Secretary Cortelyou
went out for walk. The route taken
by them was towards the public
grounds south of the white house.
They had not gone far when a severe
storm began. The president and his
companion sought refuge in the state
department President Mckinley said
he would call on Secretary Hay and
walked to the Office of the head of the
state department and tried the Office
door, but found it locked. The mes
senger on duty told the president that
the secretary had gone for the day.
"Well, we will go and see Secretary
Root" said the president, as he start
ed for the war department, which is
in the western portion of the build
ing. Upon reaching Secretary Roots
Office the president learned that the
New Yorker had also gone home.
From there the two went to the navy
department., entered the large recep-
tion-room, and asked the colored mes
senger If the secretary was in.
"Be seated, SIR" said the messenger,
who did not recognize the president,
land I will see." The messenger re-
turned almost Immediately and said:
II am sorry the secretary is not in. He
left for home just moment ago"
A few days later the president told
his experience to the cabinet, and, turn
ing to the secretary Of the navy, said
with a smile: IF were yon, Long,
should promote that messenger. He
is the most accomplished liar 1 ever
heard" The ebony guardians of the
cabinet officers are now on the alert,
and it Is safe to say that il the president
should happen to visit any Of the de-
partments he will experience no diff
Guilty in having an audience with his
counselors IL they are in.

TEST OF AUTOMOBILE,
Fire Chief Edward F. Croker, of New
York, Finds New Vehicle Aids
in Getting to Fires.

According to Chief Edward F. Croker,
of New York city, it is only a question
Of time until the fire departments ap-
paratus will run without horses. Chief
Croker said that the first step had been
taken in that direction in his expert
ments with automobiles for his own use
in getting to fires. He Is now consider
ing an automobile made by new Amer
lean company, and after ride Of about
40 miles through the Borough of the
Bronx, during which he tried the ma
chine nnder all road conditions Of hill
and level, smooth and rough, he was
enthusiastic about his experiences.
II need an automobile, and need II
badly" he said. my territory extends
from City Island to Coney Island, and
four horses a day are not enough TO
carry me to fires.
Il think eventually there will be au-
tomobile engines. trucks and hose carts.
1t has been demonstrated already that
eight and ten ton trucks can be run
without horses easily"
1t is claimed by the makers of the
automobile with which the chief exper
imented that it was capable of speed
of 40 miles an hour on good, level road
and that it can climb any hill that 8
horse can haul a wagon on at IS mile,
an hour.

HORSE VISITS THE CAPITOL.
Falls Into Coal Hole and Is Es-
corted Out Through the Cor
ridOrs of the Bsilding.

For the first time on record, a horse
was seen walking out of the United
States capitol building the other day.
This animal, black cart horse, fell in
to coal hole under the supreme court
chamber, alighting upon the pile of
coal underneath. Workmen attempted
to draw him out with ropes. but this
was found impracticable.
The coal was removed from beneath
him until he regained his feet. He was
led through the corridors until he came
out on the western steps of the capitol,
which he descended, after considerable
persuasion. A workman on either side
steadied him, while third, with a Arm
grasp on his tail, prevented his too sud-
den descent. When safely landed he re-
sumed his occupation Of hauling coal.

TO MANUFACTURE THEoR1rR
Seoretary Root Decides to Put Plant
at sandy Hook Instead of In
TIE Philippines.

Secretary Root has determined 10
manufacture the new explosive, theo-
rite, at Sandy Hook instead OF in the
Philippines, as contemplated some time
ago. The ordnance department is con-
vinced that this powerful explosive has
passed beyond the experimental stage,
and II u valuable because it combines
the elements of safety in handling and
destructiveness to an enemy. 1t has
been shown that theorite cannot be
ignited by fire, and it will not explode
when a lighted cigar or a redhot iron
is applied to it. The conclusion from
a discharge of heavy ordnance has no
effect upon 1t and ordnance experts are
convinced that there is absolutely no
dangerin loading the gun with theorite,
while gun cotton and other explosives
are handled with great risk. Some diff
ficulty was experienced in finding q
timepiece which would set off the theo-
rite at the proper time. but this has
been overcome. Preparations are be-
ing made to enlarge the plant at Sandy
Hook, and in short time the manufac-
ture of this explosive will begin.

PLAYS SURGEON ON HIMSELF.
Inmate of Wisconsin Asylum sh ows
skill with . knife-Cuts
Out . Hernia.

Daniel Nussbaum, a patient at the
Outagamie county asylum at Oconto,
Wis.,, performed a surgical operation
upon himself with jackknife recently
and is still alive, although ultimate re-
covery seems impossible.
Nussbaum had a hernia, which be-
came strangulated and troubled him to
such an extent that he determined to
get rid OF it. He sharpened up all old
jackknife, made an incision in his abdo-
men, drew out the hernia, cut it of,
forced the ends of the bowel back and
closed the incision with four stitches.
He then went into the house and ate 4
very hearty dinner.
Nuhsbaum said nothing to any body
about his attempt ut surgery, which
was only discovered by finding blood on
his chair when he arose from dinner.
A physician was at once summoned,
who found that the mans attempt at
self-surgery had been remarkably well
done, the stitches SO perfectly closing
the incision that very little hemorrhage
resulted, but the cutting of the bowel
can hardly fail to prove fatal.

NO DEAL WITH MARCONL
Government Abandoas Experiments
with Wireless Telesraphy-
Army VIII Not Tee 1t.

For the present at least there will
be no attempt to experiment with the
Marconi wireless telegraph in connec-
tion with the signal service system of
our army. Gen. Greedy, chief signal
officer, said as much the other day.
1t is given out that the apparatus
brought by Signor Marconi to this coun-
try is unsuited to greater distances
than ~ miles by land and 80 by water.
The signal corps can operate its own
system a distance Of 12 miles, and so
there would be no practical use in ex-
perimenting with the new system.
This is said to conclude the negotiations
which have been in progress for some
time.
