The annual house cleaning is now in progress

mathematician to figure out just how many
coats of paint, how many yards of plastering and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavshed upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior is gone over and every year the
outside Is either painted washed that the
glistening Wilderness may be retained.
The decorations of the executive mansion
need careful attention always, and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude of pill

STANFORD WHITE AND THE WHITE HOUSE.

The recent tragic death of Architect White,
who was shot by Harry X. Thaw, attracted
usual attention in Washington because he was
of the firm of architects that made the plans for
the renovation of the old White House and the
construction of the executive office buildings.
There has always been diversity of opinion as
to whether the expenditures, amounting to about
a quarter of a million dollars, in restoring the
White House to its original design, justified.
In the opinion of those of artistic taste, it was
money well spent although the general public does
not appreciate what was done. The original design
of the White House contemplated q terrace
each side of the main building. This had never
been fully carried out, huge conservatory on
the west ugly structure of glass; wood and
iron, taking the place of the terrace. This

It is entirely too early to state def

it is the plan to send the Ninth
cavalry to Mindanao as its relief.

FORTUNE IN FOXES.
Maine Breeder Hopes to Be Able to
Produce Pups True to Color.

Dover, Maine. = Breeding foxes
in confinement for their pelts,
said Elijah Norton, is like shak
ing dice-you never know what is
going to turn up.
Il have been in the business
for seven years. starting with a
pair of reds and increasing my
stock until now I have fourteen
pairs of reds and two pairs of silver
grays. l am unable to make any
estimate as 20 the profits of the
business. If 1 counted ny time
at half the price of a days wages
I would have lost money.
I believe there is a fair profit
in rearing young foxes and killing
them for what their skins will
bring from the dealers, though l
do not kill mine. 1 can get more
money by selling the living foxes
% men who wish to start in the
business of breeding foxes on their
own account. I am getting SIS
pair for all the red foxes l can
supply, whereas if I sold the pelts
I would not receive more than 50
a pair.
Before you can rear foxes in
confinement you must learn how
10 handle them. More than one
half the fox pups caught running
wild in the woods will not breed
at all if confined inside of wire
Enclosures, no matter how we'll
you use them.
No fox running wild in state
of nature is a polygamist, though
have two healthy males bred in
my yards which have consented to
accept two or more wives. l be-
lieve l shall develop race of
polygamous foxes, though I ain
not sure as yet. II I win I can
make much more money.
1t is mistake to believe that
foxes in confinement require the
same kind of food that wild foxes
eat. 1 tried it and nearly lost all
the animals had. They became
sullen and quarrelsome, flying in
to fits of uncomfortable passion,
sulking and incoming about the
yards, and finally dying from
fever.
For the last FIVE years l have
fed my foxes the same kind of food
one would give dogs-johny cake,
bread and milk, dog biscuit and
lean scraps. By using them kindly
and keeping strangers away from
the yards 1 am finding no difhulty
in domesticating the animals or in
getting them to breed
My greatest hope lies in my
beautiful silver grays. Though
there is no certainty that offspring
from silver gray parents will be
silver gray, as all variations from
the original red are sports which
may jump back at any time. l
have bred silver grays so long

Someone told the old story about
the winter day when it was so win
dy that the crows all had to walk

Lieutenant Bevan laughed at
this story: saying he could see the
black crows trudging along the
road against the wind. Then he
went on:

In a hundred years with the nom

This is a statement made by
Charles A. Magoon, governor of
the zone, who arrived in Wash
Ington today aud conferred with
the president.
The work of sanitation is pro-
crossing finely" said Governor
Magoon. For seventy-six days
we have had not a single case Of
yellow fever in Panama o. on the
American zone, and only one Sus-
picious case i'll Colon. That case
was diagnose / as pneumonia. but
was kept under observation by the
medical authorities, because of an
apprehension that it might develop
into yellow fever. The Panam-
aniaus have kept excellent health
records. These show that for n
hundred years no period for more
than twenty three days has elapsed
without yellow fever, while there
were non -immunes on the Isthmus.
At times when non-immuHes were
residing there, prior to the adop-
tion of modern sanitary measures
by the Americans, the fever has
killed them of like sheep
The extirpation Of the fever

The city is governed by the

FIVE or six hundred saloons which

Straw Hats And Their Wearers.

In looking over the list of new
industries that had been establish
ed in the South during the last
year we found that there was no
straw hat factory among them,
which inquiry elected the informa-
ton that no such factory existed
at any place further South than
Baltimore. says the Chattanooga
Tradesman. The Tradesman adds:
The inquiry was further called
forth by the account which we
found of the success that had at
tended the establishment of such
a factory in Brisbane, Australia,
where the raw material, the ma
chinery and the labor had all
to be imported, yet the plant had
proven remarkably successful and
a large dividend payer.
The South is the largest con-
sumner of straw hats on this con-
tinent, and it is here where they
should be manufactured to the lest
advantage. The Brisbane factory
embraced full line of ladies hats
and shapes as we'll as hats for men
and boys, while the material all
came from China and Japan. It
is time, however, for the South to
be looking at the practical side of
all that she possesses, and there
are thousands of tons of swamp
grasses around the Gulf cities
which could be utilized in hats or
paper pulp or in mating" not to
speak of the tons of straw wasted
annually in thousands of vast
wheat and oat fields.
We have the raw material at
hand in abundance. We have the
hands eager to earn the wages.
We have the capital to build the
factories. We have millions of
wearers of straw hats in Texas and
other millions in the territory
around us. While it would be
easy, safe and profitable to put
this and that together. utilize our
forces and our skill, and thus keep
our money at home, we send away
millions of dollars yearly to buy
for our heads straw hats manufac-
tured in other States and even in
foreign countries. A great deal
of the material found in the i'm
ported goods which we pay two or
three prices for is grown i'll Texas.
