Three Hotels
There are several hotels. The Mon
onotto is located ON the western end
OF the island and overlooks the gov
eminent and both Fishers Island and
Block Island sounds and the Race 1t
accommodates about 200 guests. The
Mansion house is the old mansion of
the owners in former days of the is
land. with an ADDITION that happily

to the fine old trees. 1t accommo-

OF the old shore hotel. 1t is located
directly on the shore, a minutes walk
from the steamboat dock There are
beautiful walks and drives on the
island. In the bracing air one can
walk over the blue grass turf for miles
without fatigue. Probably the most
ancient house on the island is now
known as East End farmhouse. This
Is built of brick said to have been
brought from Holland.
Shooting and Fishing.
The shooting on the island is con-
trolied by club. There are quail by
the tHoushH- some EnSilsh pneaSantS,
though these being bred mostly in con-

barnyard fowls, hares and rabbits
There are all sorts of salt water fish

fish and cod for the venturesome. with
blackfish and sea bass between.
Will the Government Take the Island?
There were, it is said, more people
on the island last season than ever be-
fore. Many more cottages might have
been rented but it is said the parties
that control most of the land do not
favor the building of anything but ell
egant residences. If the island is to
remain at present this may be a good
policy Military officers differ in opin-
ion. Some say the government has all
the land it wants or will want while
the last one to express an opinion
thought the government would even

Bungalows and Rustic Buildings.
The result is a large increase in the
number of cottages all the way from
palatia1 residences down to the little
bungalow that a Connecticut farmer
has lately built, bringing cedar posts
and railing for his veranda from his
farm and using them in rustic form.
1t is covered. roof and sides, with
some kind of roofing with fine
broken stone surface and is supposed
to be proof against wind or water He
has cobblestone fireplace, equipped
with wrought andirons gridiron, tongs
and peel, in use hundred years ago
Most of his furniture is ancient also.
Differing from many shore bungalows,
he has a deep cellar that, being pro-
tected from outside influence by piaz-
zas, is cool, and he says is a nice place
to keep onions and things sent him
from his Connecticut farm. Another
unique bungalow is that of the island
photographer and the owner is some
what unique himself. He lives alone
on the island the year round. He has
his worries. He can't convince him
self that this world was made inside
of a full week and he can't understand
how it came about that day and night
were established at one stage of the
proceedings and the sun created to
shine by day and the moon by night

The aIl-the-year population OF the
island is about 450. There are three

offices of the L. NJ. & w. Ferguson

ing a library of some 1000 volumes.
Fine Beaches.
There are two stores, one selling fish
and groceries, and the other a gem
eral store. There are three bathing
beaches, one of which, although one
of the most beautiful beaches on this
coast, is, owing to its being mile or
more from the hotels, and not prop
arly equipped for surf bathing, rarely
used.

Ton the very threshold at the state prison,

Councilman John F. Klein is reported

The confession is also said tonight to

NO COMMENT BY TAFT.
President Will Not Discuss House
Row Until Return.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 19.-President
Taft again declined tonight to comment
in any way upon the fight of the republic
can insurgents and democrats against
Speaker Cannon and the change adopted
as to the rules committee. The President
let 1t be known that any statement pur-
porting to come from him at this time is
unauthorized and erroneous. Whatever
the President may have to say will not be
said until after his return to Washington
next Wednesday, He does not feel suf-
ficiently in touch with the situation at
this distance to attempt to speak on the
subject.
Mr.. Taft has been deeply interested in
the fight at Washington ever since it
started, and each stop on his journeyings
during the past two days has sought in
formation of the latest maneuvers on the
legislative battlefield. AS he read tonight
of the victory of the insurgents and
democratic coalition there was nothing to
Indicate what his feelings may have been.
The President has let 1t be known all
along that his interest in the fight has
naturally centered in the effect that it
may have upon his legislative program.
This attitude was reflected in his speech
at Rochester last night when he made an
appeal to congressman to subordinate in
diyidual opinions and get together to
enact legislation to which the party
pledged itself in Its platform of 1908.

black hair, was an awfully young man
to occupy a position OF such responsible
ity. She didn't know that the appropria
tons chairman has one OF the largest
families ever raised in Minnesota. The
anti-race suicide theory is said to be the
only proposition on which Mr.. Tawney
and former President Roosevelt were ever
able to agree.
Finally the crowd got FESTIVE and be-

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 19.-Sensa-

Wolverines plainly had their opponents
