DORMAN p. TALKS OF CLEVELAND.
lie Thinks the President will be Renominnted
and Ge-elected.
(From tie New York Wo.ld.)

Dorman B. Eaton, being in town for
few davs, consented yesterday to tell a
World reporter something about his
views on the possibility and probability
of Cleveland's denomination in 1888.
'There exists no doubt, he said, ''that
Cleveland's worst appointments have
been brought about by the willful deceit
of the politicians of his party. This has,
of course, hurt him, but in his position
towards Civil Service Reform the best
elements Of both parties are certainly in
his favor. By the time his present term
of Office has expired two-thirds OF the
fifteen thousand people who hold Office
under the Civil Service rules viii be
Democrats, whose interest it will OF
course be to support him. N addition
to this, if the Democrats nominated any
other man except Cleveland, he would
probably be defeated by the Republican
vote; whereas if Cleveland is nominated
by the Democrats he would not only
carry with him the Democratic vote as q
matter of policy, but also that of the
Independents and many Republicans"
s.The motto Of the Democrats" said
Mr.. Eaton, "is Better Cleveland for
President with such spoils as We can get
than a Republican administration and no
spoils. The consular service should
come under the Civil Service law. That
was splendid chance, too, but it was
lost. Succeed? Ofcourse it would sue
ceeG. WHY, Blaine was in favor of this
civil service in the consular service,
though l haven't much confidence in
Blaine. Yes, sir, whichever way look
at it Cleyeland's denomination seems to
be a thing of some certainty, but not be-
cause his party wants him, for if con-
sidered through private ballot they
would doubtless throw him over, but
because it is policy to appear favorable
to him.

Born With Three Eyes.
(Frcm the NeF York Star. }

A wonderful freak of nature was seen
in child born in this city a few days
since of respectable parents which doubt
less has no parallel. When the child
was born it was discovered that it had
three eyes, one of which was set directly
in the top OF its head. The eye was per-
fectly formed, with lids, and was similar
to the two eyes in it's forehead, with the
exception that the eye was very large
and perfectly blue, while the others were
black. The child was hideously de-
formed otherwise, both of its feet being
grown together, but We're well formed.
There was also about two inches OF tie
spine missing in the small OF IT'S back.
The monstrosity weighed fourteen
pounds, but only lived about two hours
after birth Chattanooga Times.

WOMES'S NAMES.
A Simple Device by Which Personal Identity
MAY be Retained.


Charles Dudley Warner in "Their Pilgrimase.)
Now, however good woman's name
may be, she is in danger-except, they
say, in Massachusetts-of losing it, and
commonly in the change she blots out
all traces of her former existence and
even identity. In royal and noble fanni-
lies the attempt has been made to pile
so many names upon the female infant
that some stick through life, and We have
to some extent inflated this in our re-
public by giving girls two and three
names, sometimes string of very pretty
appellations taken out Of novels, and
especially if the child is poor Will she be
rich in names. This is all very well so
long as the girl remains Clarissa Elvira
Euphemia Hoskins; but when it would
become Clarissa Elvira Euphenia Hos
kins Pond it is too much, and either the
surname or some of the baptismal names
have to be thrown overheard. AL these
and many other inconvenience can be
avoided and the personal identity Of
woman be secured through all changes
by very simple device.
In the first place give the girl IN
baptism only one name. She Will be
perfectly content with it. Her lover
never requires, never uses, but one Of
her names, if she has half dozen. In
the height of his tenderness he never
says: s.Amelia Jane, ccme to my arms!"
BE simply extends his arms and cries:
"Jane" In the second place, when the
girl marries let her always keep her SUI
name. Thea, whenever we see q wo-
mans name we shall know whether she
is married OF single; and if she is married,
we shall know what her family name is.
If she has earned reputation as
writer or doctor or an LID. as Mary
Brown, she will carry that with her as
Mary Brown johnson; and in all cases
there will be spared an indefinite amount
of talk and inquiry as to who she was be-
fore she was married.
This system is essential to the sscause"
of woman. It may be said that it lacks
perfection in two respects. We could
not tell from the three names whether
the bearer of them might not be
widow, and it makes no provision for
second marriage. These are delicate
questions. In regard to the first, it Is
nobody's business to know whether the
woman is or is not widow, unless she
chooses to make that fact prominent,
and then she has ways enough to en-
>phasize it. And in the second place it
does not at all matter what becomes Of
the name of the first husband. It is the
woman's identity that is to be preserved.
And she cannot be required to set up
mile-stones all along her life.

WATCHING BIG HEAPS OF MONEY.
tn Syst m Was Loose Before, but Now 1t Is
Closer and Safer.
From the Philadelphia Record.)

Erom the Phlacelphla Hecoro.)
Assistant United States Treasurer s.
Davis Page has been in actual charge OF
the Sub-Treasury il this city about three
weeks, but during that time he has made
many changes in the method of conduct
ing the business of the Office. There is
stored in the vaults of the Office over
S22, 900, 900, and great care must neces-
sarly be exercised to insure the perfect
safety of this large sum of money. After
the experts sent from Washington had
completed their count of the money ID
the Office Mr.. Page stepped in and as
sumed control The first day he was
surprised to find the clerks and tellers go
in and out of the big burglar and fire
proof vault and deposit therein trays
containing hundreds of thousands of
dollars. 1t occurred to Mr.. Page that
this was lather loose way of doing bust
ness, as dishonest clerk could steal a
roll of bills or e package Of gold from
another tray and get an innocent man In
trouble. He issued an order that no
clerk or teller should enter the vault
alone under pain OF dismissal. If
clerk has any business in the vault he
must call another clerk, and the two
must enter together, where the first must
transact his business in full sight of the
second. Mr.. Page also caused the COM
binations of the big safe to be changed.
One combination was given to one teller
and the other to another teller, SO that
both must be present to open the safe.
Proper precautions have been taken to
cover any exigency that might arise in
case of the sudden death or sickness OF
either Of the gentlemen possessing the
secret of the combination. But the most
important reform is perfect system of
checks upon each Of the clerks and tel
lers. At the close of business each day
the redemption clerk and paying, assist
ing and interest tellers make out state
ment Of the amount of money received
from each and the amount paid out.
These are furnished to the book-keeper,
who makes out a general statement which
proves the correctness of the individual
statements. These are at once furnished
to Mr.. Page, who can tell at glance if
everything is running smoothly and
properly in bis Office, and, at the same
time, it gives every assurance to that
gentleman OF the safety of the many
millions intrusted to his care,
