The Cabinet.

For the past three months President
Harrison has been busily engaged at
cabinet work, and seems to have been
voluntarily assisted by 1857 ,541 Re-
publicans, as well as most of the news
papers. A number of these necessary
political outfits were constructed, only
to be pulled to pieces. At one time
it seemed as if Michigan would form
part of the cabinet, but want Of I'M
ity among the big guns prevented it.
The millionaire leaders Of the Repub-
licans appear to have been jealous of
each other, and lively fight took
place for the cabinet spoils. The
members of the cabinet are as follows:
Secretary of state-James G. Blaine, of Maine.
Sec'ry of Treasuy-Wm. Window, of Mime sofa.
secry Of war-Redfeld Proctor, Of Vermont.
Sec'ry Of Navy-Benjamin +. Tracy, New York.
Seo'y of Interior-John w Noble of Missouri.
Postmaster Genr-John Wannamaker. Penn.
Attorney Gen1-W II. II. Miller, Of Indiana.
seo'y Of Agriculture -Jerimiah Rusk, Wisconsin.
Blaine and Window are well known
and there is no need at present Of any
mention of them. A short history Of
the rest can be found below:
Redfeld Proctor is native of Yer
mont AMI an ex-governor of that State.
He was a strong supporter of the
President at the Chicago convention,
and is said to be one of the political
leaders of his State. He is the head
of one of the largest marble quarries in
Vermont.
Benjamin F. Tracy was born in
Tioga county, New York, and is 80
years of age. His early life was pass
ed OH a farm. In 1851 he was admit
ted TO the bar, and was a member of
the New York Assembly in 1861. He
commanded the Tooth New York reg
iment during part of the rebellion.
After the close of the war he resumed
the practice of law at Brooklyn. He
has held several appointed Offices in
New York. Since 1882 he has been
engaged entirely with his large law
business.
John Wilcox Noble was born at
Lancaster, Ohio, in 1881. BY profess
sion he is a lawyer, and first settled
at st. Louis, Missouri. At the COM
mencement of the rebellion he enlist
ed in the Union army as a private
and served until 1865, by which time
he had risen to be a brigadier general.
Since 1870 he has been engaged in
the practice of law at st. Louis.
John Wannamaker was born in
Philadelphia 81 years ago. He work.
ed short time in his fathers brick
yard, then got clerks position, and
finally opened clothing house in
Philadelphia, and is now a millionaire.
He is indebted for bis cabinet position
principally on account of the large
he secured for the Re
publican campaign fund. As bust
ness man he holds n high rank.

The man ufacturers of an ammoniated ba- king powder are considerably exercised be- cause consumers are having presented to
 them ocular proof of the presence of am- monia in an article that has so long been masqueraded under the pleasing phraseolo- gy 'absolutely pure." The public should not be deceived by smoothly written para graphs intended to divert attention from the ammonia expose and to create prejudice against the health missionaries who are en- gagged in the perfectly legitimate and really commendable work of exposing adulterations | in food preparations.
 Seeing is believing, and as concealed am monia in some baking powders is being brought to the surface, it may not be out of place to give the views of eminent authori- ties on the objectionable use of ammonia in food:
 The chemist of the New York State Agri- cultural society, William M. Habirshaw. F. c. S., says: Ammonia is used in baking
 powder to make the powder cost less.
 have always been opposed to it's employ

 such an article nor recommend it"

 writes: Ammonia, an ingredient of many
 baking powders, I regard as highly objec-

DEATH OF MRS. SHEFFIELD.

The Widow of the Late Joseph E.
 Sheffield Passes Away Last Evening
 at the Advanced Age of Etghty-EiGht
 A Most Estimable Lady.
 After an illness of nearly two weeks Mrs. Maria St. John Sheffield passed away shortly after o'clock last evening at her residence on Hillhouse avenue. The cause of her death was paralysis of the brain. Her last moments were peacefully and quietly num- bered.
 She had been in unusually good health during the past winter. During her long life of eighty-seven years and eleven months she has enjoyed quite uniformly good health. Last summer she had severe touch of ill- ness, but rallied during the winter and it was thought that she would recover her usual health through her wonderful recuperative powers. Shortly before her last illness she suffered from slight attack of pneumonia, and had scarcely recovered when she was stricken with gradual paralysis, which closed her long and eventful career of usefulness and benevolence.
 Mrs. Sheffield was born in Walton, Alle- ghany county, New York, on May g, 1901. Most of her early life was spent in New York city. where she resided till her marriage with the late Joseph E. Sheffield in 1922 Mr. Sheffield has worldwide fame as the foun- der of the Sheffield Scientific school depart ment of Yale college. MT. and Mrs. Sheffield came to this city about the year 1885. Before this Mrs. Sheffield had spent few years of her life in Mobile, Ala.
 During her residence in New Haven she has been well known for her wide charities and the beautiful unostentstious manner of her life. She leaves six children, four daugh- ters and two sons, all of whom are in this city and were at her bedside at the last sad moment, She will be long remembered and cherished by thousands whom her cheery smile and ready hand has comforted and aided in the hour of trial or misfortune. She was devoted wife and mother and a sincere Christian. She possessed almost to the last vigor of mind and body in a remarkable de- gree, united to most genial and affectionate disposition. A trait of her character was her especial fondness for children. Her surviv- ing children are Mir. George St. John Shef- field, now of Attleboro, Mass; Mrs. Phelps, wife of Congressman William Walter Phelps; Mrs. Boardman, Mrs. Porter. widow of the late Prof. John A. Porter of Yale, and Mir Charles Sheffield of Cleveland, Ohio.

 MT. W. G. Cunning and Mir. H. A. Saw age, who recently organized the U. s. col. lection agency and opened an attractive office at room II, Insurance building, have ob- tained such dattering list of customers that it is evident that the collectors of bad debts have organized just what is appreciated by many business firms of the city.
 The subscribers who secure all the privi- leges Of the agency by the payment of five dollars, receive book of blank forms which are intended for mailing to delinquents by the subscribers. These notices generally cause the debtor to pay, but if they do not his case is put through routine by the agen- cy that is reasonably sure to secure a settle ment of the account.
