Those Rumored Cabinet changes.

A despatch from Washington says
sThe old story of impending Cabinet
changes has been furnished up and set
on its travels again, this time by the
only administration organ ia New
York. There is no more truth in the
report now than there was six months
ago. Ever since his sickness Secretary
Manning's tenure of office has been
very uncertain. He may feel any day
that he must lay down his Official bnr
den, but his physical condition is nc
worse than it was when he resumed
his duties this fall. Garland's volun-
tary retirement is exceedingly inprob-
able. He will not get out until the
President asks him to go,and the Pan
Electric offence having been condoned
there is no probability that Mr.. Cleve-
land will now call for his resignation
/ Senator Harris OF Tennessee under
stood the Attorney Generals nature
when he wrote to his Pan Electric CO
partners: You will have to put q Goa
on that old turtles back to get him t.
move Mr.. Cleveland might get
hint from this letter. Garland neVel
| takes one."

Uure for Group.

Every household in which there are
young children is liable to a very
alarming emergency; for Group is a
disease that steals unawares upon our
little ones, coming often las a thief in
the night to attack our darlings, and,
if not promptly opposed, to snatch
them away from us. If there is great
difficulty in breathing, no time should
be lost in administering the sufferer an
emetic. Powdered alum, in dose o.
teaspoonful. mixed in honey or mo
lasses, is best Repeat. the dose in ter
or fifteen minutes, should the first no
operate, but in the majority of case
one dose is sufficient. 1t should be re
membered that there are two varietle
of Group, one of which is ordinaril,
fatal, and that skilled physician, as
rule, should be called to confirm, or,
necessary, 10 supplement the work
members of the emergency corps.

was yesterday granted divorce from
his wife Ida. Ths story brought oui
was that about q year ago Jones was
one of Miss Ida Toomba' admirers. One
night while Jones was tsltep ut his pa
rents house he was aroused to ind q
half dozen armed men at his b dside,
who ac,ueed him OF the betrayal oil
Miss Toombs, and ordered him to 60 To
her house and marry her. The process
sion started on four.mila walk, Jones
head being covered all the while with
revolvers. Arriving at the place both
Jones and the young lady denied the
charge, but nevertheless, by the per
suss ion Of q loaded revolver, tIcy were
compelled to marry. The party ther
marched the couple back to the hom'
Of the bridegroom, placing them In thu
room from whiob tho bridegroom hat

Morbid Curiosity

1t 10 humiliatlng to confess II, but
women have large share OF morbid curl
osity.
A pistol shot is heard in quiet street
in broad daylight. =.
Every woman who hears It knows that
whatever mischief the bullet could do Il
done, and that she will be utterly useless
to undo 1t, but each one scampers to the
quarter whence the sound proceeds with
| as much eagerness as II che were whole
college OF surgeons or a Red Cross nurse.
A car. horse leaves the track and Ols
| driver expostulates with him; every
| woman In the vehicle is on her feet In a
| minute, determined 70 see that the driver
does his duty. ,a
A neighbor has new gown, and every
body in the house is called to look at II
as its owner wears it for the first time
and man who sees the performance
wonders how q modest won an dares tt
walk down a quiet street under the Dire o
her neighbours eyes.
a man goes out to sprinkle ashes OF
the snow In front Of his house, and ever.
pane of glass in sight is il stantly pro
vided With a pair of eyes.
These things are annoying to any RAJ
tional being upon whose attention the
they trust themselves, but nothing shor
OF a general crusade against them Wi
stop them.
Women cannot even begin this WORK
for their sisters do not care for what the
say.
Men can put an end to great deal {
1t by ridicule and by steadily refusing
listen to stories of what their wlve
, sisters, and daughters have seen whe
they snouid haSe been lending to the

Muck Deposits

Writing on the value Of muck in the
Massachusetts Ploughman Edmund
Hersey says; "If farmers would pay
more attention to their muck deposits
they would be able to keep their land
up in good condition without the USE
oflarge quantities of commercial fer
tilizers. A cord of well-prepared muck
mixed with ten hundred of ground
bone will make fertilizer worth a
least seven dollars more, il applied tt
high light land, and ii five hundred
pounds of unlcached ashes be applied
and the compost left undisturbed TIVE
weeks, the muck and ashes will b
worth nearly as much as the ten hun
bred pounds of bone, at least the frs

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

CHICAGO, April 7.-The city had its
first test OF the new state election law
to-day. I've polls were open at 6
o'clock a. N. and closed at o'clock
p. m. The city has been red1stricted
into small precincts, and as conse-
quence balloting proceeded with very
little friction. There was little dis
order at one or two of the down town
precincts, but taking the city through
out, the day was one OF great quiet
ness. The republicans had candidates
in sixteen wards and supported indie
pendent candidates in two wards,
while the democrats and prohibition
lists had candidates in every ward.
The prohibition vote was almost NOM
inal. The balloting was for Is alder
men and for town officers In three
towns into which the city is divided.
From a party standpoint the results
of the election are decidedly in favor
of the republicans. They gain SIX
aldermen. The city council has been
a tie, but will now stand, "a republi
cans to IL democrats. OF IS hold
over aldermen, 13 are republicans and
5 democrats
The Daily News estimates that as
q result of the new election law there
are now, out of SO aldermen, 16 who
may be counted for honesty and econ
omy, where up to TO day there have
been only 6.
