WHITE HOUSE coAcHMAN.
Fred Douglas Has Resigned and His
Successor Has Been Initiated.

President and Mrs. Mckinley have a
new coachman, Fred Douglas having
resigned to take a place in the census
bureau. His successor, Spencer Cole
man Calso colored), has already been
initiated into the honors of his new
place. 1t has been customary to fill
this honorable position by promotion
from the lower ranks of the presiden-
tial stables. but in this case all prece-
dents have been set aside. and the new
man comes from the establishment of
Dr. Rixey, attendant physician at the
White house.
The contents of the presidents sta
bles are his own property. He has
seven horses-two blacks, two sorrels
and three bays. The carriages consist
of Il small phaeton. which the presi-
dent uses whenever he takes the reins;
a victoria, used by both the president
and his wife: the brougham. Mrs. Nc
Kinley's favorite equipage for pleasant
weather: and a landau. used on all
state occasions. When the president
drives he usually prefers the two sor-
rels. Salem and Defiance, two WiscOn-
sin horses, though on occasions of state
the blacks are generally used.-Chicago

TWO ANCIENT WELLS.
Remarkable Excavations Made for
Water in the Orisnt.

What an infnity OF patience it must
have required to provide such a source
of pure water as the we'll which tray
elers in northwest Arabia find, and
which the Arabs claim to be the work
of pre-Islamatic times. 1t is five feet
in diameter at the top. and gradually
enlarges until it reaches the water, at
depth of nearly 200 feet. 1t is lined
with hewn stone throughout.
However, the most remarkable Well
in the world is Joseph's well, at Cairo
Egypt It's shaft was eXcavated
through solid rock to q depth of 100
feet, at which depth it was enlarged
on one side. to form a chamber, in the
bottom OF which a reservoir was made
Immediately under the shaft. At one
side of this reservoir another shaft was
excavated through rock 10 a bed Of
gravel. where water was found. The
lower shaft was 135 feet deep, making
the total depth 295 feet. The upper
shaft was rectangular, twenty-fOur by
eighteen feet. The lower shaft was fif-
teen by nine feet. Winding around the
well a spiral passageway six feet two
inches wide by seven feet two inches
high was cut with great care from the
surface of the ground down to the
chamber.
Between the well and the passage
way a wall of rock was left. Horses
and oxen descended the passageway to
the chamber, where they propelled ma
chinery to raise the water in pots at
tached to a chain from the lower shaft
to the reservoir in the chamber, where
| it was again raised by machinery oper-
ated by power on the surface. In the
lower shaft n path was cut in its side
so that a descent could be made to the
water. There was no wall between the
path and the well. This work IS said
to have been constructed by Saladin,
who lived in the years 1877 to 1885
Some writer's do not mention this, and
say that the date of construction is
/ lost in MISUNDERSTANDING Record
