The presidential succession bill passed ill the house Friday. The bill provides that when there is a vacancy i'll the offices of both president and vlce- president the cab net officers shall succeed to the presidency in the following order Secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, attorney general, postmaster general, sec retary of the navy and secretary of the in- terior. The cabinet officer thus acting as president is to hold office until the disa- bilitv>of the president or vice-president is removed, or until new president is elect ed to succeed him at the end of the term of the president or vice-president whom he succeeds. The bill also authorizes the acting president to call an extra session of congress within twenty days from the time he assumes the duties of his office, should the regular meeting of congress not occur within that time.
 No man now living has served more con- tinuously in important public positions than John Sherman of Ohio. He is now in the 63d year of his age, has always been typical Ohioan and recognized as such. He entered public life at p years of age, and presided over the first republican state convention called in Ohio. That was i'll 1855. Twenty-six years ago he was the leader of the republican party in the house of representatives, and he entered the sen ate the same day that Abraham LineolL became president. The first congress iu which he served was the hirty-fourth, ana from that day to this he has not been ! private citizen a single hoar. His goins from the house to the senate, from the senate to the treasury department, auC thence back to the senate involved no los of time, no play spell, and the country il to have six years more of his valuable ser vice if his life is spared.

Mir. John B. Cough has recovered from his recent illness, and is again upon the plat form. He seems, notwithstanding his S9 years and his white hair, to he endowed with perpetual youth. This is his forty-fourth lecture season. In talking with reporter in New York on Friday, he was asked what was the chief drawback to temperance, and re- piled: "Well, the various political parties which advocate it do more harm than good. The prohibitionists had rather attack prom. inent republican any time than whisky dealer. That shows how deeply interested they are. We will have to adopt the English style and go strictly upon the moral suaaion doctrine, and leave it out of politics. The Americans are getting like the English in one respect-they will not go to hear lecture strictly on temperance. The subject has to be disguised under another title"
 This will naturally displease the prohibit tionists but Mir. Cough seems to be inde- pendent of them and of all parties; he illus trates the idea of Samson Brass-''and this is world having revolutions on it's own axis, and coming various games of that sort. "- Hartford Times.

~ IN: I. TTSbnna: The proverb that EsIts 4aae, Ill wind that blows nobody good" is 5fsdStrated in this case. Florida's disaster IS CRliforria's opportunity. In the first place, there will be . dearth of oranges for peaent consumption. and the last CaliGorna
 rop was abundant. Thus faF no CalifoR- nia oranges have been marketed here which compare ct all favofably with the lndian River fruit, and the poorer grades nf California oranges are not equal in juice 0r sweetness to the common Florida ones. Bat the California groves are young and improving every year, and since the mark ct for oranges is practically unlimited in the existing circumstances, the Pacific crop may be expected to flow in rapidly to meet the demand. It Is, of course, much to be regretted that the Flerida groves have suffered so greatly, but it is some least partially supplied from another state of the union.

The recent heavy frost in Florida is believed te- have seriously injured, if it has not killed outright, large proportion of the orange trees in that state. As yet there are no statistics of the damage, but as the cold was, according to all observers, greater than has been experienced in that region since 1895, and as temperature below 20 degrees must have. inflicted very serious injury upon the orange trees, perhaps excepting the oldest and hardest, it is a safe assumption that the orange crop of Florida will be greatly reduced for at least year to come. Add to this the statement that all the oranges left on the trees are ruined, and that the loss of picked oranges ,*Will reach half 3 million boxes, and it wilt be seen shat this killing frost has had far reaching and most mischievous effect. If the injury proves as general as now indicated, moreover, that confidence ill the equability of the climate which has been the chief support of heavy investments there during the last ten years will be much shaken if not destroyed

The decision on this point was not unanimous. Second, that the information called for i'll cases of sus- pension must be furnished, and that, if
 necessary to secure this, the cabinet off, cers should bs summoned and served with duces t6cnm. Upon this point the de- cision was unanimous. This position seems to be the only tenable one.

Under the Ban OF OPIUM.

MINNEAPoLIs, Jan. l4.-A case oil
considerable interest came up before Judge
LELAND to-day, involving facts that sell
dom arise in proceedings for the appoint
ment of letters of administration. The
widow of Mark Norton, who was killed
Dec. . by August 0ys, applied for letters
of administration, as did Locksley II.
Wood, the grandfather of Norton's little
child. The statute prohibits the granting
Of letters to any person addicted to the
use of opium. and it was proven that Mrs.
Norton had been confined in the county
jail on a charge OF drunkenness, resulting
from the use of opium, and had been ar
rested three times while under its in
duence. Judge LELAND declined to grant
her letters on that ground, and the petit
ton ofMr. Wood was taken under advise
ment. Mrs. Norton thus appears before
tho public in a new light. Her history
has been a peculiar one. Her husband
and child were burned to death in the
Michigan prairie fires several years ago.
She came to Minneapolis a few weeks
since, married Mark Norton, and five
DAYS after he was murdered.

a select reading by j. Barns, followed
with n solo by Mrs. Daughters. A recita-
ton by Fred Houghton was next in order,
but as he was not present, nor the party
who was next on the programme, W. L.
Yisscher, who was present but not on the
programme, was called out and favored
the audience with a recitation. Applause
greeted each of the foregoing as theil

minutes then followed, after which their

NEW YORK, Jan. l4.-At the order of
the Cigarmakers' International Union 500
men went on a strike to-day in the factory
of Levy Bros. The trouble hat led to
this action was the adoption of what the
Cigar Manufacturers Association consider
to be a uniform rate of prices and with
which the employees in the factories con-
trolled by the association are dissatisfied.
The union ordered the Levy Bros. en-
ployes to strike, as a test case, because if
one manufacturer yields, others will do
likewise providing the association so or
ders. Tomorrow morning a conference
will be held between a committee from the
strikers and the manufacturers assoeia-
ton with a view to settling the matter.

Victims of the Blizzard.

KANSAS Cry, Jan. 1.-THE Jour
nails Topeka, Kas., special says The
full extent of the disastrous effects of the
late storm in western Kansas is just be-
coming known, as reports arrive from the
relief parties aad others. The death roll
of victims known and unknown number
eighteen, while half a dozen other per-
sons are known to be missing. The dead
as reported are: NJ. +. Israel and an I'M
known man at Syracuse, Hamilton coun-
ty; Mr.. Ford, in Finncy county; s. Higgs,
near Kendall; two Belcher girls and Geo.
Chapman, of Syracuse; Isaac Staff, OF
Window; mother and two children neal
Garden City; father is also missing; two
women in Seward county; brothers in
Ford county; two unknown men in Ellis
county, and a man in Lincoln county.
Three deaths occurred in sparsely settled
border counties in the southwestern and
western part of the state, where often
times communication is difficult. 1t is
feared that further reports will increase
still more the list of fatalities. The los.
on cattle is also considered very heavy.

DUBLIN, Jan. l4-The state of desper-
alton into which many of the Irish labor
ing people have been thrown by long con-
tinued privations was illustrated to-day by
an occurrence at Lismore, county Water
ford. The board of guardians of the
Lismore Poor Law Union was holding its
weekly meeting when a crowd of laborers
burst into the room and in menacing Ian
guage demanded assistance for themselves
and their families. They threatened that
unless help was soon forthcoming they
would plumber the neighboring farms in
order to obtain the means of subsisting.
Mr.. Michael Davitt approves the PROPOSE
ton to buy out the Irish landlords, and
suggests an Anglo-lrish arbitration com
mission to settle the terms.

vas present aid proceeded to explain
to the members of the company the
situation Of affairs as they now exist
since the company has become incorpor-
ated. Several matters of importance to
the company were considered and dis
cussed, but as the meeting was to some
extent an informal one, no definite action
was taken regarding any matter of i'm
portance. The members are highly
pleased over the situation in which the
company is now placed.
A vote of thanks was unanimously ex-
tended to John A. Riner, Esq, for
%tesies, and also to Hon. +. a. Miller, late

tary of the company, for their efficient
services while officers Of the organization.

DETROIT, MINI, Jan. l4.-Thursday
last little Minnie, the l4-year-old daughter
of John l.. Krauser, of this place, disap
peared from home. Shortly after it was
learned that a preacher named Frazer
was also missing, and it was thought best
to look the matter up. The couple were
traced by an ennged father and one or
two friends to Button. There the runa-
ways were found in a room, but escaped
by the girl putting on a long dress and a
thick veil. She brushed against her
father without his recognising her, and
the preacher, escaped by the back way.
The pair met outside and made their
way to Wadena, where they were finally
caught. The preacher narrowly escaped
with his life, while the little girl was
taken home.
