A Grent Many designations Expected
when the New Cabinet is Formed.
Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHIEeToN, Jan. 19-It is believed that
Notwithstanding the general greed for Office
and the love there is entertained for position
here, that when the new Cabinet is formed
in March most of the men holding prom.
nent places will tender their resignstisns and
avid the embarrassments that must ensue
in asking for res gns.ions. Naturally the
changes in the important places will be very
rapid until there are many new men ut in,
because the higher Dositions are all more or
less confidential and closely related to the
Cabinet officers, who will want men OF their
own ideas beside them.

why Asphyxiation is Common.

Every few days the newspapers contain re~
ports of persons found smothered in hotel bed.
rooms because they ''blew out the gas" If the
smothered man looks like drummer, or other
enlightened individual. the coroner's verdict ia
apt to hint darkly at suicide The municipal
authorities of Atlanta take another view of the
matter. They have been advised that one half
the deaths from asphyxia are caused by hotel
proprietors, and have made law that economic
landlords shall not turn off the gas from the
meter at night. Alarge number of travellers leave
the gas burning dimiy when they retire; then the
hotel man cuts off the gas. He turns it on again
for early rising travellers and the others. if they
sleep late, run risk of death from suffocation.
Travellers should turn the gas completely out
before going to bed.

APOLLINARIS WATER.

Customs Officials Refuse to Allow 1t To Be
Imported Free.
Phila delpha Record.
Appraiser Baker has made a decision concern
ing the importation and classification of what is
known as Apollinaris water which promises to
develop into lively fight between the govern
ment and the importers of this article. The
tariff on artificial and imitation mineral water Is
80 per cent, while natural mineral water is admit
ted free of duty. For years the firm of Du Barry
& Co., of New York the sole importers of
Apollinaris, have brought it into this country
free of duty on the ground that it was natural
mineral water. few days ago Appraiser Baker
decided to investigate the matter, and the re
suit Of his inquiries has been to reclassify
it an artificial water. At the Same time, and
unknown to Appraiser Baker, the appraiser at
New York made a similar investigation, and de-
heading. Du Barry & Co., having monopoly
of the sale of the fluid in this country will, in
all likelihood, do all they can to overturn these
decisions. If they do not succeed in their pur-
pose, it is probable that the price Of the water
will advance enough to cover the increased cost
of importation. The water is produced by a
natural spring il Germany, and was first discov-
cred owing to the presence of carbonic acid gas
in the neighborhood of the spring AS the
water is drawn from the ground considerable of
the gas escapes, but portion of this is caught
by drum over the mouth of the spring, aud the
water is recharged with it, and salt is added to
keep it fresh 1t is owing to this recharging that
the decisions have been made classifying it as an
artificial water.

rooms of the Abbey, with self-supporting basin
moving before her, in which she is perpetualy
trying to wash her hands; but the most remark
able part of the story is that the called appari

black part white, and the white part black. The
story. as now told by the domestics and ada
cent villagers, is that she beat her son William
to death because he could not write without
making blots, and singular part of the tale is
that short time ago. in altering the shutters of

GIRLS ROSY CHEEKS.
A Physician Finds Way to Produce Bloom
Without Cosmetics.
Philadelphia News.


Philadelphia News.
A neat little house on Pine street. not far west
OF Broad, has been, for some time past the OBJ
ject of considerable attention among the resi-.
dents of that neighborhood. The suspicion arose
from the fact that every day the house is visited
by quite number of ladies ranging in age from
sixteen to sixty. The parlor of the house is oc-
cupied as an Office by young physician. 1t has
lately been discovered that he is engaged in a
most remarkable business. To one of the visitors
News gatherer is indebted for an explanation of a
secret, which the majority of many osy-cbeeked
maidens who promenade Chestnut street would
prefer to remain undiscovered The visits of
the young ladies to the doctor are for no other
purpose than to get healthy color-not paint

erer was fortunate enough to have, through the
courtesy of the producer of the rosy blush, an
opportunity of witnessing the operation by
which the cheeks are beautiied, and to hear the
doctors account Of how he came to introduce
the new method of an artificial bloom
of health in female faces. 1t takes from
three to five visits to make the rose permanent
The treatment is painless, and the girls
seem rather to enjoy it, The young lady who
was being operated upon during the reporters
visit was a pale-cheeked lass from uptown
whose face needed but the rose to make her in
teresting. She was undergoing the first course
Under the impression that the visitor was q stu
dent she made objection to his presence
The doctor began his operations with soft, dry
patient until they glowed. Then he alternately
patted and rubbed the cheeks with his bare
hands until the blood was brought sufficiently
the surface to make the girl look as il she
had been standing over hot fire cooking a
Christmas dinner.
After a rest of ten minutes the process was re-
newed, and before that was over there was a
spot on each cheek that glowed like burning
coal. This had to be toned down and the toning
done by application of an ointment rubbed
into the skin with piece of soft sheepskin, so
that when this was done the young lady, who
came in pale checked and coloress, left the
office with pair of roses that will be the admi-
ration and envy OF her uninitiated companions
This process is continued for several successive
days, until the bloom becomes permanent.
