The deth of District Attorney Fel-
lows in New York means a loss of
patronage to Tammany hall and a gain

ment of Fellows' successor.
The extent of the famine prevailing
in British India it paid to bo appaling-.
It is said that 40000000 people are
starving. The horror of the situation
is apparent from the fact that the
British government has appropriated
$125000000 to relieve the necessities
of the people.
Last week a petition was circulated
at Taylor Tex. in the interest of Dr.
John Grant of Sherman for a cabinet
position. So far it has met with great
success every class of people without
regard to politics signing it. A num-
ber of strong letters have been for-
warded to Major VIcKinley urging
him to give Texas representation in
his cabinet. The Grant movement is
strong throughout the state and his
appointment would mean much for
Texas.
Here is a cabinet guess which the
New York Herald gets from Canton:
Secretary of state William B. Allison
of Iowa; secretary of the treasury
Mark A. Hanna of Ohio; secretary of
the navy Cornelius N. Bliss of New
York; secretary of war Bedfield Proc-
tor of Vermont; secretary of the inter-
ior Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin:
postmaster general James A. Gary of
Maryland; attorney general C. A.
Waymire of California; secretary of
agriculture not selected.
It is to be hoped that the develop-
ments in San Francisco regarding the
Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight and fake
will turn decent men away from those
entertainments. The same kind of
work has ruined horse racing in many
places and if it would make prize fight-
ing off color everywhere it would be a
great thing because while to be an ac-
complished boxer is a useful and manly
accomplishment still the associations
attached to the prize ring are altogeth-
er demoralizing and vicious. Salt Lake
Tribune.
FREE SILVER CORPSE.
General Jacob Coxey thus brands
free silver. He says: "Mr. Bryan is
too brainy a man to stay long with a
corpse. Long before 1900 he will be
holding his nose too for he has shown
progression in the past and quick to
note the people's demands. He will
discover what the people were afraid
of the last.election. If they voted for
free silver it would be only building up
another brood of millionaries silver
mine owners and brave Bryan will
never run the risk of being even sus-
picioned as being on their pay-roil.
We believe and hope that Mr. Bryan
will be with the people for full legal
tender money next election and not
for silver mine owners where we all
were mistakenly the past election."
ARMOR PLATE SCAN DALS.
With the exposure of the fact that
very many of the plates for the battle-
ships Kearsarge Kentucky and Illi-
nois are worthless following the Car-
negie scandal of a year or more ago
the suspicion that a ring is at work to
foist fraudulent shipbuilding material
upon the government is becoming
common. The net results of the offi-
cial tests of the steel plate now stored
for the three armor-clads building at
Newport News seem likely to be the
condemnation of the entire stock. Six
out of twelve pieces which should have
been folded back on themselves with-
out breaking either broke short off or
tore apart. Over eighty other pieces
are to be examined but the dispatches
reveal the fact that the navy depart-
ment will be agreeable surprised if a
fair proportion of them come up to ex-
pectations. There Is little moral differense be-
tween the act of a man who betrays
his country in a war and that of a firm
whicb for the sake of a dishonest pro-
fit makes a battle-ship structurally
weak. Aside from the lives lost and
the property destroyed when such a
great craft goes down io action
is the fact that defeat
may do irreparable harm
to some great national cause. The
honor of the country may rest upon the
integrity of a single armor-clad yet
hero wo have manufacturers who try
to imoose a kind of steel plate upon an
entire squadron which would probably
go to piec-ns like iro much rottea wood
under the iinpa:;t of the first great
missile that should strike it.
Th3 cas-j appu-vs to be one not only
for the interference of the navy depart-
ment but of the federal grand jury. It
would b a uio-t inspiring circumstance
if such a jury would probe the scandal
to the bottom and let no guilty man
escape whether it be the millionaire
plate maker the naval officer who was
detailed to watch the process of manu-
facture or the superintendent who had
the work in charge. The thing most
needed now is an example and the
grand jury seems to be the proper body
to apply it. It goes without saying that
the higher the position of the culprit
the greater the good that would come
of his exposure and punishment.
Chronicle.
Mining- Prospects.
The shrewdest English mining syndi-
cates and experts are growing very
sick of their South Africa and West
Australia mining ventures and the
belief is fast crystallizing iu London
that after all the western states of the
United States and a little section of
British Columbia present the best pos-
sible present held for mining operations
The mining market is wonderfully
demoralized in London and it is nearly
in chaos iu Paris and still men who
have reputations established will be
listened to when they describe property
in the United States. Of course a great
many ventures of foreign syndicates
in this country have been unfortunate
but the people in the old country
begin to realize that the reason is
because the property has been over
loaded in their own country and the
management has not been up to date.
There is many a property that would
pay well on all that is asked for it if
it were shrewdly and economically
handled. But when a property worth
$100000 is put on the London market
at $500000. and then a superintendent
who knows nothing about mining with
a whole string of clerks is sent to take
charge of it except when a little
development shows that the mine is
ten times as valuable as it was ever
supposed to be the thiug is a failure
because the interest on S5'.)0000 and
the cost of maintaining an expensive
management is very different from the
interest ou $100000 with only shrewd
work going ou at the time. Any
property that is developed so it will
measuro up as much as is asked for it
with the fact demonstrated that by
some reasonable process the ore can be
reduced up to a high percentage wouid
find purchasers more easily now than
for any time during the last three or
four years: be :ause during that time
the rage has been for South Africa.
It got to be at last a perfect furore
and it needed the crash of last sum-
mer to teach those people a little
common seo-e. This ought to be a
good rear in mining in the west. Salt
Lake Tribune.
Postal Telegraph Co.
Col. George W. Foster southwestern
superintendent of the Postal telegraph
company was seen by a Post reporter
in reference to the company's entrance
to Texas and completion of the line to
Houston. He said the wires were now
workiosr into Helena Ark. where a
cable had recently been laid across the
Mississippi river. An extention to
Texas from there will be via Little
Hook and Texarkana.
From New Orleans Col. Foster could
not say how soon they would get into
Texas owing to the ex-appropriation
cases pending in the supreme court at
New Orleans a hearing of which has
been set for Dee. 1.. I he distance
covered is to Lafayette along the
Southern Pacific. 144 miles but the
telegraph company thought the award
made by the lower court too high
henco an appeal was taken.
From Lafayette to the state line is
112 miles and in this case will have its
first hearing at Lafayette Dec. 2S.
The right of way from the state line to
Houston will be heard at Orange on an
appeal by the Southern Pacific Jan. 11.
Accompanying Col. Foster is George
D. Goidman an attorney from Dallas
who is right of way agent for the tele-
graph company and will make Hous-
ton his headquarters for the present.
Col. Foster expects to go to Helena
Ark shortly for the next two months
to attend to" the business at that end of
the line. He has a grip full of applica-
tions for positions with the new com-
pany in Texas numbering over 200 in
all but no engagements have been or
will be made until the lines are work-
ing within the state's border. Post.
Rob Hayes Identified.
Information has beeu received by
Sheriff Baylor Shannon that the cor-
rect name of ''Bob Hayes" who was
killed by the sheriff's and marshal's
posse in the recent light with the band-
its at Deer Creek was undoubtedly Sam
Hassels.
The description corresponds exactly.
Hassels was a resid- nt of Gonzales
county Texas and was sent to the
Texas penitentiary for a term of five
years for horse stealing. He had serv-
ed his time with the exception of about
four months when he made his escape.
Since his escape which was about
three years ayo nothing has been
heard of him by the officers there until
the description was sent by Sheriff
Shannon. It. is thought that he was
under the imure-sion that there was
still another charge hanging over him
in Texas. Exchange.
The city council of Hillsboro Texas
last week reduced the salary of the
city treasurer to $12 per annum. His
salary has heretofore amounted to from
$1000 to $1500. The change was mde.
on account of the willmgness of the.
bunks to handle the city funds. Some
of tbe aldermen opposed the reduct'on
as they did not approve of the office
being given to bankers and nobody but .
a banker could afford to take the -office
if the reduction was made. It was
stated in the debate on the suhject that
the cities of Waco and Waxahachie
paid their treasurer $10 per year anil
that the banks were glad to get the
office at that
Officials of the Illinois Central rail-
way have before them the application
of 1.500 emplovesof the road who desire
to purchase of the company's stock.
These applications are coming in at
the rate of between 250 and .'100 a month
and indicate a strong de.-iro on tho
part of the working force of the road to
be in full harmony with the executive ;
departments. The Illinois Central '
emplwys 22 000 men More than one-
fourth of the employs of the c irupany
are now stockholders and it !s thought
one hall will soya be enrolled.
How They IUI a Mile.
It is said that a hurricane holds the
liest time record for one mile covering
the distance in half a minute. Tbop a
balloon has done the miie in 40 seconds.
The third place is. held by a railroad
entrine in 53.57 seconds. Then we has c
in their order the following perferm-
anees: A 2-year-ol.l h.rse i:i 1 minute
.'Hi: 40 seconds; a torpedo boat in 1 lr.'n-
nte :17:C0 seconds: a cyclist on the

nierican pacing horse in 'J I'linu'es
'.5 seconds: an American trotting
orso in 2 minutes ::. 75 seconds: a Fen
oimtry skater with a flying start in

he same man took nearly 2 minutes

Spnera'a Medul.
In the possession of the Ked Jacket
club of Canandaigua is a medal which
the members of the club believe was
given the famous Seneca chief by
(ieorge Washington. Other folks have
frequently questioned the authenticity
of tihis relic much to the indigiuit :on of
1he Caiiniidaiguans. who assert that i tes
claims to respect are beyond doubt.
Medals almost exact duplicates of lied
Jacket's they admit were presented
to other Indians of note about the time
when Ked Jacket received his but this
one. is distinguished from nil the rest
because on its review therei are I t
stars instead of 15. and remained in the
hands of a single family from the time
of the chief's death until it became
the property of its present owners.
A Smart Brother.
A m-gro was discovered carrying a
very large armful of books which
brought forth the inquiry:
"'loing to school?"
"Yes. sah. boss."
"Do yon study all those books?"
"No sah; dey's my brudder's. I'se

Armenian Orphans-
The full extent of the Armenian
massacres is indicated in a report to
the state department by United States
Consul Berg-holt at Erzroum wherein
he says: "The number of Armenian
children under 12 years of age made
orphans by the massacres of lSUti is
50.000 according to the estimates of
the missionaries The question of what
shall be done with these orphans is
occupying the attention of the Chris-
tian world. The American board of
missionaries has the question under
consideration. German institutions or
religious societies are preparing to
establish orphan asylums and the
British ambassador at Constantinople
has initiated a movement looking' to-
ward settling a number of widows and
their children from the provinces of
Erzroum on the Island of Cyprus. In
Erzroum there are ISO widows with 700
children without means; in Erzinsan
100 widows with bo0 children and at
Bitbourt 149 widows with 500 chil
dren. The widows of Baitbourt are in
particularly distressing circumstances
not a male remaining.
Tax Suits.
A telegram from Sherman Tex.
says: The principal work in the district
clerk s office has been the issuance of
citations in state county and citv tax
suits. The utmost leniency however
is being exercised by the officers in
charge of the matter. Special Tax
Commissioner Sidney Wilson is grant
ing unexpected delay in calling for
writs of possessions authorizing eject-
ment and County Att-irney Hare
Sheriff Hughes and District Clerk
Head all agree to remit costs in cases
where parties sued will Eettle their
1805 taxes before Jan. 1 1S!7. The
efficiency of diligence in collection of
taxes is evidenced by the showing of
the city tax books upon which 93 por
cent of the taxes are receipted.
The owners of the Pennsylvania rail
road having determined to wage a
deadly war upon the tramps that infest
their lines have hit upon a detail
which is masterly. Hereafter all
tramps captured by the trainmen will
be delivered up to justice at Rahwav
N. J a city which has solved the tramp
problem for itself by condemning all
tramps convicted within its limits to
work with ball and chain on the public
highways. The tramps give Hahway
a wide berth and it is likely that if the
officials carry out their plans the state
will be practically clear of this sociol-
ogical pest.

Nerves just as surely come from the use of
Hood's Sarsa par ilia as does the cure of
scrofula salt rheum or other so-called
blood diseases. This is simply because
the blood affects the condition of all the
bones muscles and tissues. If it is im-
pure it cannot properly sustain these
parts. If made pure rich red and vital-
ized by Hood's Sarsaparilla it carries
health instead of disease and repairs the
worn nervous system as nothing else can
do. Thus nervous prostration hysteria

MILLA1S' VERSATILITY.
It Is Said Ho Was tlio Greatest l'ainter
of the Aj;e.
For a period of nearly .10 years Millais
has been before the public as an artist
and for the greater part of that time
lie has SU.-1. lined his reputation as the
greatest painter of his day. says Scrib-
rer's. lie has painted history romance
poetry landscape portraits and has
made his mark in all.
-Xo one. else i:u attempted so wide a
range of subjects few have shown a
greater variety ox invention or ap-
proached him in his command over
tools and materials. It is only within
the last few years that he has. shown
any decline of power nr.d it was only
the oilier day th.at3.Ir. Watts Lis great
colleague observed to mc of one cf
his pictures in the pre.rcnfc exhibition
of the liojal academy (100) that as
painting it was "good as ever."
His art. is in no tense ideal; his
imagination cannot hotly forth thing:;
unknown or rise to any great lici-oie
height ; he has never attempted to repre-
sent rapid or violent action but in.--.ido
these lines his powers are splendid and
exuberant.

painter of extraordinary imitative pow-
er with a handling not always pic:i-:.nt
