PRESIDENTS FAMILY MEETS.
Nicaraguan Situation Is Not Discussed
by the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 23.-At
the end of a session of two hours and a
half by the cabinet today, 1t was an
nounced by members of the Presidents
official family that neither the Nicaragu-
an situation, the Standard Oil decision,
nor the sugar trust fraud situation in
New York had been considered. 1t is
presumed that some part of the session
was devoted to a discussion of the feat
ures of the Presidents forthcoming mes
sage to Congress. Although he has the
material for the message well in hand,
the President has not as yet begun the
dictatIon of any part of it, and it is ex-
uemely doubtful if the message will be
concluded earlier than two or three days
before it is to be read to the Senate and
the House.

BOSTON, Aug. Sit became known
today that former President Eliot of
Harvard could not make good on his
promise to give to the world a library
of classics that would snugly fit five
foot shelf. The outcome is that he has
added a foot to his library.
The IL inch extension does not mean
that the bible or Shakespeare's works
will be added to the list. but that Eliot
has included other volumes.
Another reason for the addition of
another foot to the fireside library of
erudition is that Eliot has written and
has in preparation several lengthy in
Productions to the volumes, one or two
reaching $4,000 words.
There have been several conferences
between Eliot and his publishers over
the matter, and the set. it was figured
could by no possibility be squeezed into
five foot shelf. Without the bindings,
the printers said. the pages could bare
ly be contained in five feet, and at least
foot must be allowed for the bind
ings.
Eliot was disappointed. as he desired
to fulfill to the letter his promise to
give the world a library of five feet
that would provide a liberal education.
