. WASHINGTON. April 20 ( Correspond
ence of The Iteo I Senator George F. Hoar
Is n rare character Ho haw strength , ripe
citltuio , wit , Inclslvenesa ; he Is wise and
subtle , yet nt times Ingenuous as a child , he
1ms had marked succcts us a polllldun , but
ho caroa little for polltlclnnn or their wajt. ,
ho 1 * a lawyer and a man of affairs , a
scholar and n classicist , ho has been almost
continuously before the public for half a
century ; ho has played a consplcuouK part
In ninny great events , jet he Is today as
Innocent of certain phases of politics as
though ho has spent these Illty years In
lib * closet among his beloved books.
A man of courage. U has never troubled
him to be In n minority even In n minority
of ono. Ho entered politics as a member
( if the free soil party when It was little
more than n party name , and now In the
livening of his career , with his party In
power , he has spoken out In opposition
to his party's mrwt popular policy. When
the A. 1' . A. was u dreaded force In politics
and others hold their tongues , ho went out
of his way to publish a letter denouncing
the order. When his state was defeating
republican candidates for congress In Ar
thur's administration , because they hail voted
for an obnoxious river and harbor bill ,
ho again wont out of his way to publish
a letter defending river and harbor appro
priations on pilnciple , and this bill In par
ticular.

Senator Hoar has a finer literary scnsa
than almost any other man In public life.

are among his familiars. He loves to ram-
bio through the byways of literature. Kor
him to visit England Is a delight. He Is
not much of u collector of hooka , Ho has
at homo In Worceitei four or live thousand
volumes , fondlj chosen , it Is true , but con
taining few iue editions or choice bindings
Ho takes pleasure In gathering autograph *
und manuscripts of certain sorts. Ho has
a flno collection of Webster manuscripts ,
and never lets anjthlng relating to the ex
pounder of the constitution escape him. Ho
cherishes every reminder of his grandfather ,
Itoger Sherman Among his treasures Is an
old copy of the Altkcn Dlhlo , which his
grandfather owned The copy lacked a few
pages , nnd ho supplied the lack from an
other Imperfect copy which he picked up
somewhere. Ho loves to fondle this vol-
uniu and tell how much money somobJdy
would like to pay foi It , If U could only
bo bought. In Washington he has only a
few books just enough to cnabln 'aim to do
hln work nt homo.
Senator Hoar lives In a boat ding house
in Wntlilngton. It Is a substantial old place
on K street , nnd the family with whom ho
lives are Cubant > . There are no others In
the house besldi's him and Mis Hoar. Thin
Is In a fnhhlomihle and convenient part of
the town , but there Is un old boarding
house nn an unfashionable street whcro the
senator lived for years boon after ho came
to Washington , vvliich is moro of n home to
him. It is kept by an Ohio woman , whose
single weaknetas In the senator's oyt'b was
that she could not bake a New Hngland
bland of baked beans , nut she puts to
gether n fumoiiH codfish ball , the only ai It-
do of diet of whlid ho Is Inordinately fona.
Ab rtgularlj as Sunday morning comes the
senator appeals nt his old boarding place
for his breakfast of codfish balls. Ho never
misses It. He sang praises of this codfish
ball In ii letter ho wrote when somebody
charged him with being n monopolist and
a f i lend of the trusts.
A flrrat TalUor ,
Senator Hoar's mind is aUuos nt work.
When ho has nothing eUt > for it to do ho
settles himself In a big library clialr and
reads. He U fond , too , of talking anil noth
ing pleases htm more than to weave n chap ,
tor of reminiscences with a congenial friend.
His casual talk Is full of literary and his
torical allusion and of discriminating hu
mor. Ho very rarely writes with hit. own
hand , oven the briefest of notes. Ills pen
manship is su Illegible that there U tcally
| llttla of it In ixlstence aside from bin

RAISING FOXES FOR FURS
Growing Industry on Several Islands Off the

Inci easing demand for flno fur fiklns ,
taken with the decreasing supply , has led to
the establishing of now Industries in thu
nature of raising the animals from which
these skins are taken. The great value
of the furs , offering rare opportunities for
piollt , Is the motive which prompts men
to enter Into this nuw Held , which to un
extent is untried , with results problem
atical.
Ono iff these companies Is the Somldl
I'ropagatlng company , with olllcrs In Now
Vork City , while Its Held of operations
Is on the Iblands off the south coast of
Alaska. The president of this company
Isv , D Taylor of Omaha , who might
truthfully bo said to have been the organUer
of the concern. M. L. Wnshburn Is vice
president and manager , with headquarters
at Kodiak , Alaska , and Byron Andrews of
Washington , D. C. , Is secretary and treas
urer. The company's main object Is the
propagation of blue foxes , although It has
nlEo been experimenting with the silver
gray fox.
The company has secured a perpetual
lease from the United Slates government
of five IslandB North Semldl , South Semldl ,
Ukahmok und Long Island , devoted to the
blue fox , and Marmot to silver grays. The
three first named ore from sixty to eighty
miles wc t of Kudlak Island , off the south
coast of Alaska , and the other two are from
six to twelve miles from Kodluk.
dux ! Vriir' fulrli ,
The total catch of blue foxes In the world
for IStib was -1,173 sklna. The parent Islands
for the blue fox are St Paul's and St.
George. In Bering Boa , belonging to the
I'nited States and '
government C'opper and
lienug Islands in the west portion of Her-
Ing sea , in Russian terrltoij They aio
the only seal breeding inlands In the world.
Prom these four Iblands Is taken fine-half
the blue fox catch In the woild. The rosi
of It comes fiom the Hudson Ilav coun
try and the noithuin petitions of British
America , and fiom the propagating Islands
off the Houth coast of Alaska.
In 1881 , while Mr Tnjlir was acting as
special agent for the Treasury dop.irtment
on the neal Islands of Alaska , he had fre
quent conferences with a representative of
the Alaska Commercial company and with
.Mr. Iloardman , editor of the 1'Itlslmrg
I'enny I'riss , and they conceived the Idea
of transplanting the blue fox from St. George
Island to the Alaskan archipelago.
In the fall of IkM they transplanted thnlr
lint lot They took Uvcntj-one blue foxes
from St. Geoigc and tinned them lorao on
North Seniidl Island Nothing moro was
Uono with them until 1SS7 , when they began
to propagate for thu furs. They engaged thu
natives to c-.iro for thu anlmuiH. The next
year-they transplanted more to South Semldl
and two years later transplanted to Ukah-
mok and Long Island. Slnro that tlmo they
have been feeding the animals and giving
them considerable attention , erecting build
ings of all kinds to care for them properb.
The first killing was In 1S91 and then only
male foxes were taken of sutllclent s\ec \ to
Infiuro good pelts. Ono out of every Bovon
was liberated for breeding purposes None
of the females were killed. The animal
catch haa steadily Increased until last year
2'J3 blue fox skins \\cru taken , nnd a nmall
number of silver grajn. The value of the
latter Is shown by a sale made a few weeks
ago at the London auction house , where one
silver gray was sold for fl.700. ThU skin ,
however , was tint one of thc o shipped by
the Semldl company.
When thu company flint took possession
of the Island * , they were almost barren ana
were worthless for any other jntrpojo except
that for which they are now used The
government of the United States about ten
years ago , to encourage the Industry and to
give employment to the natives , who are
virtually wards of the govcininent. gave the
company the exclusive privilege of the uae
of tluao Islands. The Icatu Is of Indefinite
duration , and in consideration therefor , the
company pay * the government a curtain sum

The matter of fi ed for the fo.x was one of

company. It ie < | iilred a largo amount of ex
perimenting and tlio spending of miien
money. It u.-i.s determined after many trials

are shipped to Kodlnk. From there they
