When tlie White Howe Seemed Lavge.
The "White House seen through the
vista of years, and described in a Jet
ter written by Abigail Adams, IOC
years ago, is most interesting. She
says:
"The house is upon a grand and su
perb scale, requiring about thirty ser
vants to keep the apartments in propei
order. The lighting of the apartments
is a lax, indeed, and the fires we are
obliged to keep to secure us from daily

set for coal. We have, indeed, come
into a new couDtry. You must keep
all this to yourself, and when asked
how I like it, say that I write thai
the situation is beautiful, which is
true. The house is made habitable,
but there is not a single apartment
finished. We have not the least fence,

and the great unfinished audience room

the clothes in.
"The principal stairs are not up. and

Gather Sunshine.
Some persons are like the human
heart, inasmuch as they sprinkle rest
ami kindness and heart's ease all
through their daily tasks. They weave
a bright thread of thankful happiness
through the web and woof of life's
pattern. They are never too busy to
say a kind word or to do a gentle
deed. They may be compelled to sigh
betimes, but amid their sighs are
smiles that drive away the cares. They
find sunbeams scattered in the trail
of every cloud. They gather flowers
where others see nothing but weeds.
They pluck little sprigs of rest where
others find only thorns of distress.
Like the human heart, they make
much of the little opportupnities pre
sented to them. They rest that tney
may have strength for others. They
gather sunshine with which to dissipate
the shadows about them.
The grandest conception of life is to
esteem it as an opportunity for making
others happy. He who is most true
to his higher self is truest to the
race. The lamp that shines brightest
gives the most light to all about itGood
Cheer.

The piano in a very primitive form is

difficulty. A tugboat which had tried
to save her was driven against the
Iron pier, weakening it so that all but
fifty feet of it was swept away. An
unknown man who was on the pier
when it went down was lost.
Driven by the gale the tide rose to
an unprecedented height along the

Railway and trolley traffic was interrupted

were blown down, rendering communication
difficult.
Ocean liners entering the harbor
were delayed by the gale. The regular

" QUARANTINE INEFFECTIVE
.Secretary Wilson's Proposal to Excludo
Foreign Livo Stock.
Annual Report of the Secretary of Ajfrlculturo
Recommends Agricultural Investigations
in the Philippines. ?
Washington, D. C.?In his fifth annual
report Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson points out that, in view of the
fact that the inspection and quarantining
of cattle imported to this country
affords only a relative guarantee
against disease, it might perhaps be
well to follow the example of Great
Britain and exclude live stock from
other countries entirely. Among other
suggestions made in the report is one
to the effect that agricultural investigations
be undertaken in the Philippine
Islands.
Regarding the animal industry the
Secretary goes on to say that the grand
total of animals and animal products
exported during the past year exceeded
$250,000,000 in value. This vast
foreign market is only preserved to
our producers by the indefatigable efforts
of the Department and the rigid
inspection exercised through the Bureau
of Animal Industry.' This Bureau
inspected for export 385.000 cattle, 228,-'
000 sheep, 48.000 horses and mulej,
and nearly 1000 vessels carrying live
stock. Imported animals were inspected
to the number of 342,000, and,
where necessary, were quarantined.
O& more than 5,000,000 inspected,
the condemned carcasses were about
one-fourth of one per cent.; of the
0,500,000 sheep one-tenth of one per
cent.; of 24,000,000 hogs, oue-third of
one per cent. In the control of indigenous
diseases 1,500,000 inspections
were made, and over 45,000 cars were
disinfected in the Texas fever service
alone. In combating the disease
known as "black leg" the bureau distributed
more than 1,500,000 doses of
vaccine, the result being to reduce
losses in affected herds to less than
one per cent., whereas formerly it was
in most cases about ten per cent. To
aid in detecting tuberculosis in cattle
and glanders in horses over 44,000
doses of tuberculin and 7000 doses of
mallein have been supplied.
The Secretary points out the serious
evil resulting from a system of State
inspection which, if it became general,
would effectually prevent the marketing
of live stoclf in some sections and
urnni/i rfpcjirnv much of the usefulness
of the Federal Inspection.
The Secretary announces an important
extension of the forecast field of
the Weather Bureau, which now includes
reports from certain points in
the British Isles and on the Continent
of Europe, from the Azores, Nassau,
Bermuda and Turk's Island. An extension
of th? forecast to farmers
through the rural free delivery is contemplated.

All night long she lay there, having
absolutely no communication with the

the fact that the fiercest gale of forty

Speaking of his experience Captain
Cable said he thought that the last
barrier to the acceptance of the Holland
type of boat as available for use
in time of -warfare was removed. He
said he felt sure that the problem of
air was one easily disposed of. but he
did not expect such a wonderful demonstration
as that which followed the
submersion of the Fulton.
FAMILY ENCAGED IN ROBBERIES.
Son Concealed Himself In Stores and
Opened Doora For His Father.
Pittsburg, Ivan.?George Lane and
family, consisting of his wife, a fourteen-year-old
daughter and an adopted
son, eighteen years old, have been arrested
here, charged with being leaders
of a gang that has been systematically
robbing merchants of this city
for the last year. Lane and his wife
have been prominent in society and
church work. They have a beautiful
home in West Fourth street, where
nearly $1000 worth of the stolen good?
was found.
It is charged that the boy would conceal
himself in a store and be locked
in when the store was closed, and then
In the night he would open the rear
door, after which the robbery was
easy. The arrest was caused by the
boy being captured in a store and con
fessing. Lane is a coutracting builder
by trade, and has always been considered
a respectable citizeu.

surprise and rout them. The train ''
bearing these troops was held up just s
before it reached Culebra Station, owing
to the Liberals opening fire on Al- i

continued until Empire Station, a mile
and a half distant, was reached. The
Liberal continued to retreat slowly,
Alban's men following them until they
eventually reached Matachin Station.
Here he met ayd conferred with Captain
Perry of the Iowa, who was returning
from Colon on an armored
train. It Is understood that Captain
Perry will not allow the railroad to
transport troops, consequently General
Alban and his men were forced to
push ahead on foot. The Liberals
were under the command of General

Detroit, Mich.?Twenty-six men aii^
are dead and twenty-four other inec ~:f>
were taken to the various hospital* :
of the city suffering from terrible cuts, ^
burns and others injuries, all results ot
the explosion of one of the boilers Ixr
the Penberthy Injector Company*!
large plant, at the corner of Abbott. ;
street and Brooklyn avenue. In addl- %
tion to those seriously injured a dozen '' i
or more employes were slightly hurt ?
They were taken directly to thelt ri
homes. The Penberthy Injector Com*
pany's plant occupied half a square.
It was composed of two brick build- M
lngs, separated by a sixteen-foot alley, i
The rear building, which was com- 2
pletely destroyed, was three stories in
height, fifty-four feet in depth, and
100 feet wide. The boiler room war
situated at the northwest corner of- \
this building, on the first floor, it was
in this building that most of the man*ufacturlng
was done.
There were four boilers in the plant,
two horizontal and two vertical ones.;,
It was the horizontal boilers that esx-V$|
ploded. The floors and roof of the rear Sv*
building bulged upward and then *
crashed down with their heavy loads ,1
of machinery and foundry apparatus. V
Walls, roof and all. dropped into a \
shapeless mass of debris. Windows ^
in houses for a block around were bro- , ^
ken by the concussion, and flying (
bricks filled the neighboring yards.
A dense cloud of dust arose, and as it - ^
settled and was succeeded by denser . V;'
clouds of smoke and steam, agonized; o
cries began to come from the heap ...
of tangled wood, metal and bricks..;#
Those who were only partly burled,
frantlcplly dug themselves out. Flames'^?
broke ont almost immediately, and the
horror of fire was added to the snfler-v |
Ing of the Imprisoned.
A fire alarm was turned in and qnlckf^
ly responded to. Calls were sent out,
for all the ambulances In the city.'
Pending their arrival neighboring
houses were turned into, temnorarri
hospitals.' The-first ambulance* "on the 4
scene were totally Inadequate to cangptv"*
those who had been already extricated,
and express wagons and similar vehi- .
cles were pressed into service. /
While part of the firemen directed
their efforts at the fire, which was f:
burning fiercely at the centre of the '
wreck, the greater number of then* . /
seized axes and crowbars anfl began
prying out the victims who could be .
seen or whose faint cries were audible. /
The fioors and roof had fallen at an.
angle and formed a huge sort of cover, '
under which the fire burned fiercely.
Not until the firemen had chopped
through this did their streams begin
to have an appreciable effect on the %
flames. -A
Gradually the rescuers worked their
way downward through the pile. A'
vacant house adjoining the factory}. *';
was converted Into a temporary,

corpses were so hot when they were}
