stefan, was hastily summoned and at once
pronounced it a case of wholesale poison
ing. Measures were promptly taken to
counteract the poison. TO day most of
the victims are still suffering severely
from nausea, and II are in critical con
dition. Investigation revealed the fact
that all who drank of the coffee prepared

the doctor soon found the coffee pot lined
with a thick sediment of paris green. The

some person had thrown almost four

opinion that the poison was too strong

MADISON, Conn, March IA political
boycott is being waged here. Charles f..
Scranton, Democrat, was recently appoint
ed postmaster, and his salary depends
largely upon the sale and cancellation of
stamps. The Republicans are so incensed
at the appointment that they send to New

gers. The receipts are thereby materially
affected, and the Republicans hope to

Tho New British Cabinet,

ANU NOW 0EbtADn VWU1u0es
The new cabinet is officially announced
as follows:
Mr.. Gladstone, prime minister and first
lord Of the treasury; Sir Farrer Herschell,
lord high chancellor; Earl Spencer, lord
president Of the council; H. G. e. Childers,
for foreign affairs; Earl Granville, secre.
tary for the colonies; Earl Kimberly,
secretary for India; H. Campbell. Banner.
man, secretary for war; Sir William Yer.
non Harcourt, chancellor OF the excheouer:
the marquis OF Ripon, frat lord OF the ad.
miralty; Joseph Chamberlain, president
OF the local government board; George OF
to Treyelyan, secretary for Scotland; A. j.
Mundella, president Of the board Of trade;
John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland.
The following appointments have been
Earl Sydney, lord steward OF the queen q
household; Arnold Morley, patronage sec.
retary; Charles Russell, attorney general.
The composition OF the new cabinet has
caused q great surprise. II is thought to
show marks Of a compromise.
The News considers the new ministry a
strong one, and especially approves Of the
appointment OF the earl OF Rosebery and
John Morley. 1t says:
The selection Of the earl OF Kimberly for
the Indian secretaryship is the only choice
that is likely to meet with negative ap-
prevail. The absence OF Lord Harrington
from the cabinet is matter OF regret,
which may, however, at no distant date be
removed.
The Standard says:
Mr.. Gladstone, in forming his cabinet, has
made the best Of a bad situation. The
members are men Of undoubted ability.
The selection Of Earl Roseberry for the
post Of secretary for foreign affairs was the
well for the good will OF Germany. The
appointments most likely to elicit criti.
cism are those OF Sir William Vernon Har.
court and John Morley.

Thatglow bright IN the future with promise!
Alas, that the dreams which we cherish
In the nres Of fruition should perish;
That IL darkens the sun
When the real Il won
Aud we Danish the ideal from usi
The story is ever repeated
OF Youth's aspirations defeated.
We battle aud dream

But, ali! the deceitf1l tomorrow

And the tear-drops forever are drying
On hopes fallen leaves
Where humanity grieyes,
Clad about with the mantle OF sorrow
The goal where we thought that the burden
Would fall, and the coveted guerdon
OF rest would be found,
Is the desolate bound
Where demon Of restless endeavor
Rises up 10 the bosom to taunt US
With tasks that still lure and daunt us
Till We turn once again
To the battle with men
In the glare Of the pitlless Never.
Aye; but labor is manfully human.
Toll. toll is the test Of the true man;
Though success yield him light,
Though he reel In the 6ght,
Still he feels for his burien-bsnt brothers,

George Bancroft, the historian, has fur

ty-three pages, in which he takes issue with
the United States supreme court in its legal
that the decision Of the court was wrong BY
quoting from the trainers OF the constitu.
ton and the journal OF the convention
which framed it. Mr.. Bancroft thought
that the words land limit bills" were
struck from the clause OF the constitution,
giving power to congress to borrow money
on the credit Of the United States, and then
establishes that congress has no power ex-
cept that which is positively conveyed in
the constitution.
