The applications for ball tickets are increasing in nuui lieit, and Secretary Find Brackett is rdeeiring many letters every day from persons througheuf the country. The number of supper tickets will be limited to 6,000. A prominent railroad representative said to-day that it was unfair to at tribute to the limit put on railroad tickets any falling off in attendance. At the last inauguration, he said, the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company figures show 97i percent of the inaug ural visitors left Washington before March 1 The tickets are good for use by any one leaving Washington on or before the 8th. The limit, he said, was the result of an agreement by the trunk lines, and was not due to the. action of the Pennsylvania road. It was fixed, he said, because otherwise the railway companies would suffer considerable loss of rev enue through scalpers. 'He SENATE. A Slight Dlvcrsl. .KtFK!:.-.(..

President McKinley "s Cabinet will touch a somewhat higher mark in the average age of its members than is reached by presidential councils in general. Sherman, the Xestor of that body both in years of life and in years of public servhv, is nearly 74; Gage, the Secretary of the Treasury, is CI: Alger, Secretary of War, is the same age, while Wilson, Secretary of Agri culture, is a year older, and Long, whose name has been coupled with the post of Secretary of the Navy, is f!. Mr. McKinley himself, who is only .r3, is a youth compared with most of his constitutional advisers, as thus far selected. All of the nice of aaythinglike Sl.ei niar.'s prominence and standing who ever were ia the Cabinet were much younger on entering that body than Sherman is now, but. of course, Sher man was twenty years younger than lie is at jwesent when be was selected for Haws' council. Jefferson was -ifi when be- entered Washington's Cabi net, aiid. Hamilton was only 32 when hewoct intoth.it body. Calhwun was '.5 oo becoming Secretary of War under Monroe, and John Quincy Adams, wattn he began his service asSeci-etary of -State under the same Presinent, was 50. Clay was 4H when John tjwiiicy Adams selected hint for Scci-e tao-y oi otate, ana am irtona Webster vestti when he entered Vi". H. Ilarri soo's council. Qu jssjig into Cabi net oflice Buchanaa was 54. Seward .tis 60 and Blaine vcas.01.

Thus Sherman is six years old- er than was the oldest of his prede- lessors here uienuoned when assum ing office for the last time. But, so lar as the public believes, age has not seriously diminished Sherman's men ial or physical powers. Everybody assumes that he will render acceptable service throughout his term.

I Jut just then a wry ugly-!ool:ing backwoodsman came up and confront- d him. The man wore a buckskin jacket and a coonskin cap, and he carried a long-barreled rifle of the old backwoods type.

"How could I harm an unarmed man? Prentico asked the crowd: and he was applauded as he suffered his assailant, whom he had himself dis armed, to arise.

If there is any public property that Mr. Daiiey has not in his possession it is not within the boundaries of Port Richmond. He seized the offices of the Board of Alderman and the villege trustees. He gathered in the safe, the desks, chairs papers, lead pencils, office records, and every movable thing that could be leveled upon. If the trustees had been around they might have been seized. Then the Sheriff went about the villiage looking for more public property to levy upon, and wherever he found an article it was gathered in.

" Suuar Planters Bounty Claim. Washington, D. C, February 8. The petition of the sugar planters of the South and West for an appropria tion of $1,048,000 to pay the sugar bounty in full on the crop which was planted under the McKinley law and harvested under the Wilson law, will be granted by the House committee on appropriations. The subcommittee on the sundry civil bill had a special meeting Sunday to consider the re quest which had been presented by the Congressmen from Louisiana, Ne braska and California, and concluded that the claim was a valid one. The Wilson act cut off the bounty entirely, but Congress made an ap propriation of something more than $5,000,000 to pay tfce bounty on the crop which was in the ground when the act went into effect, and which, it is said, the planters had planted largely on the strength of their ex pectations of bounty. That appro priation was not for the full amount of the bounties due, and was divided pro rata among the claimants. The additional appropriation now pro posed is to make up the full amount of the bounty due for that year, and the committee will quote the opinion of the Supreme Court in overruling the action of Comptroller Bowler in withholding payments that the pro posed bounty was in effect a contract made by the government with the planters. The committee is undecided whether to put the appropriation in the sundry civil bill or wake it a separate bill. Ballard's Snow Liniment will Care Neuralgia.
