difficulty is experienced la in bri bringing gigin them from such a depth with enough vitality remaining to make them nervi serviceable vi to I 1 THE commission the task will require time and careful experimentation encouragement however is found in the fact that a single venturesome individual of the species has recently been taken in the lower potomac the first instance of the kind known to the commission with its stomach full of fresh water fish ash upon which it was to all appearances thriving an attempt will probably be made to plant halibut in the chesapeake bay the fish ash commission

bis danger in an interview today to day sowers e r s said it may be deemed impertinent to talk to the president through a newspaper man but I 1 know of no way of REACHING HIM and those about him so surely you recall my attempts with friends of mannings and their fruit and I 1 do not feel that abs I 1 should take the aune chances chanced in n the matter iq atter I 1 am personally apprised of f the presidents condition and while it t to is in vo no sense dangerous it will not be long before there will be reason for alarm president cleveland is a large larg e leshy fleshy man and since he came to the white house has gained enormously in flesh now who when q he be lived in n buffalo it was his cibit to take long wilks walks since he be came here however he has abandoned every exercise save carriage riding that is of little or no use with the springs now in use dae and the smooth streets tor for which washington is famous THE PRESIDENT is a man who works with his beadle great t deal is in tact fact ap an intense brain iraln worker warker he was in other words a plodder and his brain is consequently filled with an excess of alood what what is the result he works with his ble head bead eats enormously and tails falls to exercise his muscles his blood vessels are weakened and it is only a question of time when in a moment of excitement he be bursts a blood vessel 1 I tell you at the rate ate president cleveland Is now living there is creat danger that he will not live throughout his term something should be done him to realize his bis danger and take the proper roper steps to prevent a result which will surely ensue if he falls fails to take the proper exercise what I 1 should recommend would be the fixing up of a room in trio the WHITE HOUSE and the setting apart of half an hour every day for gymnastic exercise that alone in my opinion will prevent a catastrophe the avoidance of which not only the president out but the country at large is interested in securing in hw
