She altlsonPnt resonance of state pride
that somebody be united upon for
cabinet position. Senator John c.
Spoorer, the little giant, from Hudson, has
been making pugrimages to InGianapul
all winter. He has recently returned
from the latest and most magnificent OF

'ct to believe today that 5 ,natOr Spoon

all sldes, and everywhere il is
accompanied with expressions of re
greet that so sociable aud popular
ii man as Spooner should thus stcrltice
himself politically by giving up a com
mandIng position in the senate for a sub
ordinate place under the administration
of another man. The friends of Henry

of the rig TT of the state to indemnity for
school lauds to compensate deficiencies
in fractional toWnshi ps IN 4de so by reason
of swamp lands found therein, the sec
retary has reversed the decision of the
commissioner of the general land office
and sustained the validity of the said
sections.
The President has directed the removal
of Mr.. Alfred Z. Lewis, Deputy Fifth
Auditor of the Treasury, for neglect and
inattention 10 his Official duties. He is a
resident of Milford, Pa, and was ap-
pointed TO the Deputy Authorship by
President Cleveland about two years ago.
1t is understood that ne has never been
satistied with the office, feeling that his
ability and services to the party entitled
him to a more remunerative position.
The NV Y ears reception at the Viii e
House was as brilliant as any that has
been held for the last 100 years. Mrs
Cleveland looked charming as she took
her place beside the President ip the Blue
Room, and was surrounded by a score of
handsomely dressed ladies. Everyone
appeared to be in the happiest spirits,
and the gathering was generally com
mented ON as the III Ost notable of in any
the present Administration.

pawnbroker nar,ed Wi liam Mason
and an associate, A +. Con-, were arrest
