Wbtlbk finds It much easier to shoot prisoners in Havana than to go oat and take them in the field. Mj. McKikley should engage some of the football players, now that the season is ended, to stem the rash of office-seekers. A roKEiuit correspondent informs the American public that the recent royal visit to Blenheim cost the Duke of Marlborough $100,000. This is interesting to American heiresses. Since Uncle John Wanamaker has opened a bargain counter in New York and is distributing advertising plums, the Gotham papers do not see quite so much humor in his senator ial candidacy. Boston contributes this item of public interest: "The extensive plant of the Roxbnry Carpet com pany shut down for an indefinite pe riod. The agents have made no statement concerning the action. The plant is the largest of its kind in New England, employing 1.200 . .. . . . . . . . . . . people.- it mast oe mat ma au vance agent of prosperity" don't have any use for carpets. While "confidence is restored" it would look as though "it" intended to rough it awhile on bare floors. Senator O. F. Berhy, of Hancock county, will contest the election of Mr. Manifold, his late opponent for the state senate in the Twenty-eighth district. Mr. Berry claims that when the democrats nominated Man ifold the populists named as their candidate a man named Hull, bat did not certify the nomination to the secretary ol state. Letter when fa sion was arranged, Mr. Berry says. me popuiists punea null off and nominated Manifold, and the secre tary of state directed the county clerks to put the latter's name on the oaiiot as the populist candidate. Mr. Berry's claim is that, as Hull's nom ination bad not been properly certi- nea. no candidate eeiectea in his place conld go on the ballot. It is expected that the contest will come up early in the session, and as the republicans have a two-thirds vote in tne senate. Mr. Berry, of course, will be given the seat in a hurry if he makes oat any kind of a case. The rumor that Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle and OInev will organize great law firm in New York is denied Dy Secretary Carlisle. The presi dent's plans are unknown beyond the fact that he has purchased a home at Princeton, N. J., but will probably go abroad for a time. Only - two members of the cabinet seem to be in the way of securing lifetime situs tiona in the public service. These are Secretary Herbert and Postmas ter General Wilsor. both of whom are poor men. Mr. Herbert, it is expected, will be made chief justice oi tne court oi claims, ana Mr. Wil son is snggested as successor to Judge Cox, who will soon retire from the District of Colombia supreme Denon. secretary Carlisle win either accept the presidency of a New York financial institution or establish a law practice in the community where it promises to be the most lucrative. Attorney General Harmon will go back to his law practice in Cincin. nati, and Secretary Morton to his country home in Nebraska. Secre try Lamont has extensive business interests in New York, which will keep him abundantly employed Secretary Olney will go to Boston aid take up the routine of the legal profession. Secretary Francis will return to St. Louis and his grain and produce Dunnes. A Hygienic Beatanrant. A eoRKPstion worthy of all praise is put forth by a contemporary journal for ladies. It is to the effect that somebody should start a restaurant in which the waiters should be instructed to refuse to serve any frequence of dishes which ob viously make for indigestion. One can easily believe that the world would be the better, the healthier, the happier, if this proposal were widely carried out Men have been known, for instance, to Wash down oysters with brandy and water, but they have always been sorry for it afterward. Students at the British museum have been observed to drink tea with veal und haiu pie, and their studies have suffered from tho combina tion. The world, in short, is full of middle aged men who would enjoy their middle age ever so much better if in tlieir youth they had found their way to restaurants where snob delicacies, as veal and ham pie. dressed crab, lobster, mayonnaise and encumbers were only to be procured upon production of a medical certificate of fitness to receive them. London Graphic. Dead Maa's Clalaa. Among the rich mines of Leadville is one called Dead Man's Claim. It seems a certain popular miner had died, and bis friends, savin decided to tin aim good send ofi, hired a man for f 20 to act as sexton. It was in the midst of Winter, there was ten feet of snow on the ground, and the grave had to go six feet below that. The gravediggcr sal lied forth into the snow, depositing the corpse for safe keeping in a drift, and for three days nothing was Heard from him. A delegation sent to find the fel low discovered him digging away with all his might, but found also the in tended grave converted into the entrance of a shaft. Striking the earth, it seems be had found pay rock worth $60 a ton. The delegation at once staked oat claims adjoining his, and the deceased was for gotten. Later in the season, the snow having melted, his body was found and given an ordinary burial in another part ox the camp. Boston Journal. MI LAW MUSINGS.

Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Koch, of Rock Island, were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kuehl Sunday after noon. Mr. and Mrs. D. C.

The ice is over four inches thick and more level and smooth ice has never been in the canal before.

Thanksgiving day she again went up me canai ana rndav evening she went to the bottom a short distance above Mill creek gates. She lies in about six feet of water and is in to danger. The ice in the canal is nearly four inches thick, and it is likely that the Duke will have to stay where she is until the ice thaws out next prinp. Justice In the Hough. "Wo used to call him tho cactus edi t.( u of Blackstone. " said the major, who hud livtd in Texas long enough to make a fortune, "and the blind eyed goddess never hud a more peculiar rep resentative. The law never bothered him a bit, but he reverenced equity. He hud a dignity all his own, but never allowed it to interfere with his love of a joke. " 'How old are you?' asked ono of the lawyers of a venerable epiuster on the stand. I was born in 45, she snapped. " 'B. C. or A. D.?' quickly asked the judge. And the mature maiden disowned her brother because he would not chal lenge the court. " 'Is this your first .offense? he asked of a convicted horse thief. "On being assured that it was, the judge said, 'Then I will only give you 99 years instead of 100, as I would have done had yon been an old offender. ' "A miller had bought ten barrels of apples from a farmer and brought ac tion to recover ou a claim that the bar rels were undersized, causing him a loss of three bushels on the deal. " 'How did you get the barrels? asked the court of the f aimer. '"Bought them fall of floor from the miller.' ' Whereupon the court gave the farmer verdict and taxed the costs against the fciiller.

"I was thinking cf a friend of mine who claims to have found an absolutely perfect fountain pen. " "Always writes, never drips ink and never gets out of order?" "That's what he saya" The man with the meerschaum pipe shook his head. "What do yon think of it?" he asked.

Fortu nately they soon become fond of cod-liver oil when it is riven to them in the form of SCOTTS EMULSION. This is the most valuable remedy in existence for all the wasting diseases of early life. The poorly nourished, scrofulous child; the thin. weak, fretting child; the young child who does not grow; all take Scott's Emulsion without force or bribe. It seems as if they knew that this meant nourishment and growth for bones, muscles and nerves. Book telling mors about it, free. It wont pay to try a subatitvte lor Scoffs Emulsion with the childem.
