Eyes, the principal topic of CONVEX
sation here at present is the probable
action Of the incoming administra-
tion."
The speaker was Mr.. William M.
Ashley, of SOC Maine avenue, a man
whose large and intimate acquaintance
with prominent public men here in
Washington, renders his opinion of I'M
usual weight.
"The all important question among
the clerks of the various departments
il, 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
administrations The removals will
occur among the heads of depart
ments."
1.-THE sense of mistrust which must
necessarily pervade the departments is.
I 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.
| don't think Washington is so very
malarious. At the same time admit
that since residing there, I have not al
ways felt first rate. At times I have
been greatly troubled with sharp-shoot-
ing pains One day my right arm and
leg would tortur2 Enc with pain, there
would be great redness, heat and swell
ing of tn: parts, aud perhaps the next
day the left arm and leg would be
similarly affected. Then again it would
locate in some particular part of nv
body and produce a tenderness which
would well nigh drive me frantic.
There would be weeks at time that T
would be aft icted with an intermitting

free from suffering during the balance

others that [ had infammatory rheuma-

But didn't they try to relieve your
miseries?'
Eyes, they vomited and physiced me,
blstered and bled me, plastered and
oiled me, sweat, steaned and everything
but froze me, but without avail
: But how did you finally recover?''
Il had a friend livirg in Michigan
who had been afflicted in similar way
and had been cures. He wrote me re-
gardlng his recovery and advised me to
try the remedy which cured him. I
procured a bottle and commenced it's

meal and at bed time ] had used it
about week when [ noticed decrease
of the soreness of the joints and a gem
eral feeling of relief. preserved in it's
use and finally got so [ could move
around without limping, when I told nv
friends that it was Warmers safe rheu-
matte cure that had put me on nv
feet"
And do you regard your cure as per-
manent?"
This was more than a year ago, the
trOuble has not returned and haven't
been so well in years as I am now"
speaking of President elect CIeve-
land, who, in your opinion will comprise
his cabinet?"

it is to say what office holders will 90.
