Yes, the principal topic OF CONVERSE
ton here at present is the probable ac-
ton of the incoming administration.
The speaker was Mr.. William NJ. Ash
ley, of sos Maine avenue, man whose
large and intimate acquaintance with
prominent public men here in Washing
ton, renders his opinion of unusual
weight.
The all important question among
the clerks of the various departments is
who is to go. In my opinion there will
be very few changes among the old-time
employees who have been here year in
and year out through several admins
trations. The removals will occur among
the heads of departments.
'The sense of mistrust which must
necessarily pervade the departments is,
suppose, detrimental to the proper
| transaction of business?'
"Well rather, | reckon. 1t units the
clerks for business. Some get very blue,
for they have purchased little homes
which they must sacrifice.
Last summer it was reported that
! many were i'll of malaria. How is it?''
More likely, i'll of fear OF change. l
4 don't think Washington is so very ma
| larious. At the same time l admit that
| since residing here, have not always
felt first-rate. At times | have been
greatly troubled with sharp-shooting
pains. One day my right arm and leg
would torture me with pain, there would
| be great redness, heat and swelling of
the parts, and perhaps the next day the
left arm and leg would be similarly af
| fected. Then again it would locate in
some particular part of my body and pro-
| duce tenderness which would we'll
nigh drive me frantic. There would be
weeks at time that / would be afflicted
with an intermitting kind of pain that
would come on every afternoon and leave
me comparatively free from suffering
| during the balance of tee twenty-four
| hours"
''Of course you consulted the doctors
regarding your difficulty?"
Consulted them? Well, l should
say did. Some told me | had neural
gia; others that 1 had iniammatory
rheumatism, for which there was no
cure"
''But didn't they try to- relieve your
miseries 90
eyes, they vonited and physiced me,
blistered and bled me, plastered and
oiled me, sweat, steamed and everything
but froze me, bat without avail
'But how did you finally recover?''
81 had a friend living in Michigan who
had been afflicted in similar way and
had been cured. He wrote me regard
ing his recovery and advised me to try
the remedy which cured him. l pro
cured a bottle and commenced its use,
| taking q tablespoonful after each meal
and at bed time. / had used it about a
week when / noticed decrease of the
soreness of the joints and a general feel
ing of relief. persevered in its use and
finally got SO ! could move around with
out limping, when l told my friends that
it was warmers safe rheumatic cure that
bad put me on my feet.
And do you regard your cure as per
manent?"
''This WAS more than year ago, the
! trouble has not returned and L haven t
been so we'll in years as | am now"
Speaking OF President-elect Cleve-
land, who, in your opinion will comprise
his cabinet?'
''That is as difficult to determine as it
is to say what office holders will 60.
| Many good men have been named for
the positions-Bayard, Thurman, Bragg,
Mcclellan, not to mention lot of lesser
lights. Every prominent politician has
slate made up which he is backing to
win, but then, as is always the case,
some one will get left"
