eyes, the principal topic Of conversation
here at present is the probable action OF tho
incoming administration"
The speaker was Mr.. William NJ. Ashley,
of sos Maine avenue. a man whose large and
intimate acquaintance with prominent public
men here in Washington, renders his opinion
Of unusual weight.
"The all important question among. the
clerks Of the various departments is, who L.
TO 70. 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 departments"
1.-THE sense of mistrust which must neces-
sarily pervade the departments, is, l suppose,
detrimental to the proper transaction OF bust-
nessF'
"Well, rather, I 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 itP
More likely, i'll of a fear of change. Idont
think Washington is so very malarious. Az
the same time / admit that since residing here
l tave not always lett first-rate. At times l
have been greatly troubled with sharp-shoot
ing 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 effected. Then
again it would locate in some particular part
Of my body and produce a tenderness which
would well nigh drive Tile frantic. There
would be weeks at q time that l 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 the twenty-four hours
"Of course you consulted the doctors re-
garding your difHcultyN
Consulted them9 Well, Ishould say did.
Some told me l had neuralgia; others that
had infammatory rheumatism, for which
there was no cure"
"But didn't they try to relieve your
Eyes, they vomited and physiced me,
blistered and bled me-, plastered and oiled me,
sweat. steamed and everything but floze me,
but without avail"
"But how did you finally recoverr
"Ihada friend living in Michigan who had
cured. He wrotem me regarding his recovery
and advised me 10 try the remedy which
cured him. Iprocured a bottle and COM
menced its use, taking a tablespoonful after
each meal and at bed time. l had used 1t
about a week when l noticed a decrease Of
the soreness Of the joints and general feeling
of relief. Ipersevered in its use and finally
got 80 I could move around without limping,
when I told my friends that it was Warmers
safe rheumatic cure that had put me on my
feet"
"And do you regard your cure a par
manent7'
"This was more than a year ago. the
trouble has not returned and / haven't been
80 well in years as I am now"
"Speaking Of President-elect Cleveland,
who, in your opinion will comprise his
cabinetr
"That Is as difficult to determine as 1t Is te
ray what Office holders will go. Many good
men have been named for positions-Bayard,
Thurman, Bragg, Mcclellan, not to mention
q lot of lesser lights. Every prominent poll
tician has a slate made up which he is back
ing to win, but then, as is always the case,
some one will get left"
