Senate Adjournment Delayed.


WAsHINGToN,, March 27.-The senate will
not adjourn until next Thursday. The COM
mittee of senators appointed to wait upon the
president and advise him that the senate is
ready to adjourn unless he has some further
business reported that they had seen Mr..
Cleveland and he requested that the senate
remain in session until next Thursday The
president said to the committee that his
desire was to have all his diplomatic nomina-
tions confirmed, as he did not wish to send
any ministers or consuls to distant countries
without their tenure of position being made
clear and final by confirmation. He had
met with some unavoidable delay in the
matter of making the selections, but felt
sure he would be able to make all the ap
poiDtmeuts of that character for the present
by next Thursday. 1t is said that some
delay has arisen out of the uncertainty as to
the designations of some of the present in
cum bents of diplomatic and consular posi-
tions. Before making the nominations the
president wants to be sure in regard TO
designations, and it is said that cable mes
sages have been sent to different parties
now holiing foreign positions to ascer-
tain whether vacancies there will be by
resignation.

Gossip About the First Round Won by the
Vice President.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Vice President
Hendricks victory over Representative
Bynum in the Indianapolis postoffice
contest is. talked of great deal by Indianians.
In many cases Hendricks action is subjected
to adverse criticism. There is not the ut
most good feeling between the
vice president and the Indiana delegation
in congress. and his victory was
that this was the only appointment he has
been interesting himself in is said to be in
correct, and the delegation is not satisfied
with his attitude with relation to the patron
age. He is said to have recommended some
one for nearly every postoffice in the state
without regard to the wishes of members,
and is visiting the departments in the inter
est of the same, who are his
personal friends. He is said to have
signed a great many petitions for
office seekers both in and out of his state and
takes much more interest in the scramble
than members think is consistent with the
dignity of his Office.
Representative Bynum says that he ex-
pected the nomin nation of his candidate up to
the very hour the nomination of Jones was
sent in. 81 was never more confident of
anything than that Creelman was to be the
man. Twas assured of it by the postmaster
general and was given to understand that the
pkBsident Was with me. / don't think Mr..
Hendrickstou have secured the appointment
without begging the president most abjectly
for it, and making the matter one of polit-
ical life or death with him. Mr.. Bynum is
quoted as saying that Mr.. Hendricks assured
him at Indianapolis before coming here, and
also after coming to Washington that he
would not interfere in the appointment of a
postmaster.
Allen Morgan, nephew of Mrs. Hen :
bricks, has been appointed messenger to the
vice president, another case of nepotism at
the capital.

In the fall of 1884 I was taken with case of
malarial fever which prostrated me both in body
and mind. was drugged after the old fashion
with no good results. My health was shatter,,

swell and I had what everybody thought was
dropsy. These symptoms alarmed me and
friend advised me to try swift's Specific: pro-
cured three bottles and commenced it's use
The swelling soon subsidized, have taken the
three bottles, which made perfect cure, and
more meritorious medicine offered to suffering
humanity. 1t has wrought wonders for me.

OLD, BUT GOOD.-The following story
originated in Ohio many years. ago, but
will bear repeating:
A minister in one of our orthodox church,
es, whila on the way to preach q funeral
sermon in the country, called to see one OF
his members, an old lady who had just
been making sausages, and she felt very
proud of them, insisting on the minister
taking some of the links home to his fam
iIy. After wrapping the sausages in cloth,
the minister carefully placed the bundle IN
the pocket of his great coat. Thus equip
ped he started for the funeral. While at
tending the solemn ceremonies of the grave,
some hungry dogs scented the sausages,
and were not long in tracking them TO
the pocket Of the good mans overcoat.
OF course this was a great annoyance,
and he was several times placed under
the necessity of kicking the Whelps away.
The obsequies at the grave completed, the
minister and the congregation repaired to
the church where the funeral discourse was
to be preached. After the sermon was fin
ished, the minister halted to make some re-
who wished to have an appointment given
out, assembled the stairs of the pulpit, and
gave the minister's coat hitch to get his
attention. :, The divine thinking it a dog
having designs upon his pocket, raised his
foot and gave a sudden kick, and sent the
good brother sprawling down the steps.
"You will excuse me, brethren and sisters" "
said the minister, confusedly and without
looking at the work he had just done, 'for
I could not avoid it. have sausages in
my pocket, and that dog has been trying
to grab them ever since he came upon the
premises ~ % & So. .@ '<s q - .''--'

TUNHE undersigned has taken the agency for the
sale of the THOMPSON PIANO, one of the
best instruments in the market, and also for the
sale of the ORGANS manufactured by the Great
Western Organ Company.
The Pianos I represent are in different styles,
both square and upright, full u octaves, and be-
sides having all the modern improvements OF the the
best makers, with highly ornamented case and
superior finish throughout, have also three
strings in the treble and are thus nearly equal
tone and power to the Concert Grand.
Irepresent ten styles of Organs, and can suit
any purchaser as to quality and price. If you
contemplate the purchase of an instrument
either Piano or Organ-do not buy until you con-
fer with me- can suit you with either instru-
ment and will make prices satisfactory. Every
instrument fully warranted by the manufac'
turers. There is no longer any excuse for paying
a fancy price for piano bearing the name OF
some old, aristocratic maker-which name is
usually the only thing to recommend it-when
you can buy one equally as good in every respect
for half the money. Correspondence invited,
and all information cheerfully furnished.

ADAM AND EVE AND THAT APPLE
How many apples did Adam and Eve eat ?
Some say Eve and Adam "a total Of 10
only. Now we figure the thing out far diff
ferently. Eve s and Adam also-total 16.
And yet above figures are entirely wrong.
If Eve s and Adam 80, certainly the total
will be 80. Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the antediluvians
were race of giants, reason something like
this: Eve 81 and Adam S2-total l63.
Wrong again; what could be clearer than,
if Eve 81 and Adam sl2, the total was
1892 '''' ..'''''' 80
IfEve S1lst and Adam S12, would not the
total be 1923? ...
I believe the following to be fair solu-
ton: Eve s14 Adam, Adam 1924 Eve-total
S,93S. .....- ..........
Still another calculation is as follows: If
Even Sl4 Adam, Adam Sl242 oblige Eve
total S2,056. We think this however, is not
sufficient quantity. For though we admit
that Eye Sl4~ Adam, Adam if he S0S1242
kept Eve company 9,0S2,056.
All wrong. Eve when she SlSl2 many
and probably felt sorry for it, but her COM

Therefore, Adam s1S1424Ofy Ewes depress-
ed spirits. Hence both ate S1,SS6,S64 ap-
