The Vice ProsiAont's Change OF Name.
The fact that the late Vice President changed
his name In early life from Jeremiah Goliath to
Henry Wilson has been more or lees known and
often referred TO. 1t WAS done BY act Of the

cealmsnt Of this circumstance, either on his own
part or tho part Of his friends. for the reason
that there was nothing reprehensiLle In the act.

Avoiding Colds from We. Feet.


Many Of the colds which people are said to
catch commence at the feet. To keep these ex-
remites warm, therefore. is to effect an insur-
ance against the almost interminable list Of dis
orders which spring out Of "slight cold"
First, never be tightly shod. Boots or shoes
when they TT too closely press against the foot
and prevent the free circulation Of the blood
When, on the contrary, they fit with compare
tive looseness, the blood gets fair play, and the
spaces left between the leather and tho stock
ings are Allied with = comfortable supply of
warm air. The second rule is, never sit In damp
shoes. 1t s often imagined that, unless they
are positively wet. it ID not necessary to change
them This Ia fallscy, for when the least
dampness ia absorbed into the sole, it is attract
cd nearer the foot itself by the heat, and thus
perspirstion is dangerously checked. Any per-
son may prove this by trying the experiment Of
negecting this rule. The feet will become cold
and damp after = few moments, although, Oh
taking of the shoes and warming them, they
will appear quite dry.

Mr.. Brlsh, ON ano Policy Of England.

The Birmingham papers report that in letter
which = gentleman in Giasg,w has received
from Mr. John Bright, lie refers to the spirited
foreign policy which the Conservatives in the
days Of their opposition assured the country
they were ready whenever they got into office,
to inaugurate. Mr.. Bright does not believe in =
spirited foreign policy, and he th.nks Lord
Derby has the same want Of faith. What IL re-
quired is "just foreign policy" He quite
agrees with the award given BY the French
President in the Algoa Bay arbitration. We
were wrong and the case went against US. Those
who exclam against arbitration should remem-
ber that it has hitherto been unfavorable to
Great Britain, because Great Britain entered
upon arbitration with hands that were not clean.
A Just foreign policy can only harm those who
do injustice and now Mr.. Bright points out
that we are reaping the reward OF tho spirited
foreign policy Of the nation twenty years ago,
when blood and treasure were lavishly spent by
us in supporting the Turk on his throne. The
Turk is worse of than ever, and the great
Northern Powers are taking the question of
what is to be done with him into their own
hands without caring to consult either England
or France. The bondhoders urging . spirited
foreign policy on Lord Derby in these circum-
stances seems to Mr.. Bright rather amusing.

Very much interest has been excited here by

sued, and special train of palace cars was en-
gagged for the guests from this city. A few days
since, however, 1t WAS discovered that the con-
slant display and lavish expenditures for which
the young gentleman had become noted were
based upon money obtained by the forgery of
the name Of his expected father in-law. The
amounts obtained are variously estimated from
$6, 900 to $50, 600. The marriage has been an
nounced as ''on." Tho father Of the young man
has made conveyance OF real estate to secure
the payment of the forged paper, and no crimi-
nal prosecution will grow out Of the transaction.

THE NAVAL PREPARATIONS
sls,ial Dispafch to the Ne,c Yors Times.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-It is not likely that the
real condition Of the correspondence between
this Government and Spain will be made known
before the publication Of the Presidents Mes
sage, and perhaps may not be fully disclosed
even then. Enough is known, however, to war
rant q confident belief that no recommendation
Of granting belligsrent rights to, or recog-
nixing the Independence Of the Cuban
Government will be made in the
Presidents annual message. 1t does not seem
probable At the present time that the correspon-
dence will have reached that stage whore the
Government Of the United States would be JUS
titled in taking any such extreme action, and
there can certainly be discovered no desire on
the part ;of the Administration to embroil the
country in needless war with Spain or any other
Government. Almost all that has been printed
on the subject has been the merest speculation,
most of which has been the farthest possible re-
moved from the truth. Whatever the hopes Of
especially interested !parties may be in respect
to the unusual naval preparations, it ID safe ito
reiterate the statement that they are wholly pre-.
cautionary, and are not made with any intention
of precipita.ing hsstities, either directly in
