The Ex-PreMdsnt.sO Obesity,

Statements that may be said to come
almost at first hands from close friends OF
the Clevelands are to the effect that after
much persuasion the ex-president recently
consented to consult . specialist in relation
to the abnormal and constantly increasing
development Of fat with which he has been
afflicted for many years, but especially
since he left Washington, and that he has
learned that bis fairness is nothing less
than . disease, and one that must result
seriously in . comparatively short time un-
less il is cured, or at least checked. He
has lately been gaining weight st the
rate Of twenty-five pounds a month, and
this fresh fat addedtoh his already enormous
proportions has been smothering every
vital organ in his body. In pursuance Of
the advice obtained, which confirmed the
fears that Mr.. Clevsland's friends have
entertained for some time-althoueh Mr..
Cleveland himself had not mp to that time
shared In them-Mr. Cleveland has placed
himself under the care of a practitioner Of
the Schweniger system Of fat reduction,
from whom he is to receive daily treatment
until he 10 cured. It IL said that one feat
ure Of the treatment in the ex-president's
case will be daily exercise in . sort Of
treadmill, or mountain climber, /" invented
by Dr. Schwenieer.

Cor. Belle Ch..k. and Son.

Papoose Chaska has not improved much
IN health aud disturbs the boarders at the
place where the Chaska family are stopping
With his ~unearthly yells. The lovely Cora
Belle Is feeding him paregoric without
stint. 1t is an amusing sight to see the
famous Mrs. Chaska feeding her papoose.
The "cherub," as he is called by his
mamma, is as bright as a half breed could
be expected to be, and although there il no
danger from his present illness, his mother
has fears that the climate in this section
Will q turn for the worse. Mrs.
Chaska has declared that she will never
enter . dime museum again, not because
she dislikes to exhibit, but for no other
reason than that 1t does not pay. She has
not made up with her family either, and
they still refuse to recognize her.

SECRETARY WINDOW.

HIS Reply to Questions About Finances
Of hi Country.
Secretary Window has made the follow.
BY Senator Plumb: sThe operations Of the
treasury Departments have not been con.
Quoted with . view to controlling the Anap-
ces Of the country, but in pursuance to
fixed policy to produce the least
possible disturbance in the natural
current OF events. The purpose
OF the secretary has been and IL
to pay ont for bonds all the available sur.
plus ~ rapidly a. possible. In pursuance
OF this policy aud with . view to keep
money In circulation to the fullest extent
practicable, purchases Of bonds were 90
freely made that Jan. 40 the available ball
ancs Of public funds was reduced to less
than $40, 00O, 900, and this entire amount,
% we'll 90 further sums amounting to
about el6,00O,000, wers on deposit in the
national banks. From this II will b
seen that the entire surplus and $10,00O,.
600 in addition were in circulation. In view
Of this fact and the large Disbursements
made it was not deemed prudent to draw
further OF the funds In the treasury and
therefore purchases Of per cents wers
temporarily suspended and government
purchases Tor the time confined to Al pes
cent bonds. On March 6, when the pur.
chases OF 4 per cents was resumed, the
available surplus had reached $4,000, 900,
the whole OF which va on deposit in ma.
tional banks. The amount now ON de.
post in national banks is about e3,000,0N
moro than the entire available surplus.

JOHN L. ALSO eErr1Ne FAT.

The Boston Bruiser In NO Condition to
Meet the Muscular Mr.. jackson.
John L. Sullivan is now under the treat
msnt Of Dr.. J. w. Gibbs for fatnsss, and
1t u said that the real reason for the delay
. the arrangement Of a match with
Jackson 10 the necessity for this treatment.
Sullivan has lately been growing enor-
mously fat, especially in the region Of the
stomach. Jackson is said to be especially
addicted to stomach blows and II is
necessary that Sullivan's tendency to run
to fat be overcome before he thinks Of
meeting Jackson. Sullivan was under DR..
Gibbs care ct various times for several
years up to while before the Sullivan
Kilrain fight. When that faht was being
talked Of Sullivan was brought to this city
for Dr.. Gibbs to look at and was ex-
amined st the Hoffman house one night.
The doctor declared that he would not
be strong enough to fight ct the slip.
ulated time. This leaked out audrendered
1t difficult for Sullivan TO secure backing
for the fight. Sullivan and his friends in
sisted that DR.. Gibbs should change or
modify his opinion, and whom he refused
to do so they denounced him for having
gone back on Sullivan. The affair got
into the papers and aroused some public
interest. DR.. Gibbs continued up to the
day Of the fight to declare that sui
Ivan Was not at for tho contest.
Afterward he insisted that s~ullivsn's sue
cess was due to Kilrain's physical condi-
ton. which had been concealed from every
m but Charley Mitchell until after the
fight. The fast that Sullivan has CON.
sented again to put himself into Dr.. Gibbs
hands is regarded as . sign that the fight
er's fatness is too persistent to yield to the
means ordinarily employed to reduce
weight.

Tornado Poisoning.

A week ago the family Of Lewis Prewitt,
living near Lagrange, KY, was attacked by
q virulent disease, the nature Of which the
local doctors were unable to determine.
It's symptoms wero similar to those Of
spotted fever, but no cause Of such q dis
ease could be found in the surrounding
neighborhood. DIR. d. II. Porter, a physi-
clan of Eminence. was called in, aud at
length decided that it was tornado poison
ing" The germs, he said, were borne on
the late tornado from some infected dis
trict, probably hundreds of miles away,
and lodged in the vicinity of the Prewitt
homestead. He claims that smallpox and
other virulent diseases have thus been
communicated to patients in many cases
in medical history. The community is
much alarmed, as it is impossible to tell
what dire disease may be lurking in its
midst. One IF Prewltt's daughters has
died and two others and q son are at pres.
ent at the point Of death.

To 1es. tho T..a. statutes.

A suit startling in ITS conte mplated re-
suits has been fled III the United States
district court in Sar Antonio. It's object
is to completely nullify the entire penal
code and criminal procedure of Texas. It
is IN application for q habeas corpus for
Dick Duncan, who was a few months ago
convicted in the state court at Eagle Pass
of the murder of the Williamson family,
aud was sentenced to be hanged. His at
torneys appealed to the Texas higher
courts, where tho case is now pending.
Meantime his counsel think they see q still
easier way Of securing their clients release
from custody. Application for a
writ of habeas corpus was
made to United States Circuit
Judge Pardee at New Orleans April 10,
and Judge Pardee set the case for hearing
in the district court at San Antonio May 5.
The applicants prayer recites that he was
illegally convicted of murder and is now
deprived of his liberty unjustly. The pc
titlon sets forth that the Texas criminal
code as established In 1876 is illegal and
without warrant of existence, for the rea.
son Of gross Irregularities i'll its passage
by the legislature which created it, and
also for the inexcusable errors committed
by the clerk to whom was Entrusted its
coditication. Ii then points out in detail
the Irregularities aud errors referred to,
all Of which. it is alleged, are susceptible
of undoubted standardization by the official
records on file ut Austin. The matter could
be consideredtrivial but for the legal talent
engaged in the case. Gen. Roger A. Pryor,
of New York, is one OF the leading coun-
sci for the applicant, he having materially
assisted in the preparation of the petition,
as did also some of the highest legal lights
in Texas, ex-Gov. John Ireland, it is un.
derstood, being one OF them. Attorney.
General Hogg was made acquainted with
the case several days ago, and he expressed
himself as startled at the information, ex-
claiming that il the allegations OF the peti.
ton were sustained-and he could see no
legal reason why they should not be-the
state of Texas would be Invested of all
power to correct wrong or punish criminals,
aud that she would be practically plunged
into q condition of anarchy. nN..

Congrsss to Adjourn Juue NJ.
The latest plan Of Thomas y. Reed, th,
aggressive speaker Of the houss OF repre-.
sensatives, has or, ated . live discussion il
Washington among democrats as veil ..
republicans. He has passed along tn,
line OF republican leaders the statement
that the house will wind up lie business 70,
1880 on June Is. Since this fat has poue
forth there has been both praise and con.
sure for Mr.. Reed. The leaders Of thu
majority on the floor express Themselves
as Lightly satisfied. The new men in The
house are not satisfied. They are claim.
ing that It IL a plan to whip the strag.
lers into line on every important
measure before the house. In other words
1t means that no measure is to be discuss.
ed at great length, aud that those who are
not satisfied with the Mckinley tariff bill,
for instance. are to 10 given NO opportnn-
itv to tight it at length on the floor Of the
house. 1t is a scheme worthy Of Reed. but
the question is, will it work." A leading
member Of the opposition, when ques.
toned regarding the matter, said:
IF Reed succeeds In securing adjourn
ment by June 10 I will agree to vote for
HIM for president, if his party ever hon.
ors him with a nomination.: aud I've never

WE'LL"
There are those, too. who think that the
only set back Mr.. Reed and his followers
will receive is in the attempt to shut off
discussion and all attempts to tack amend
ments to the tariff and free C image bills
and measures of like importance. This
attempt to whip in the objectcrs may re-
suit in n general row, and then the chances
are that no tariff measure will be decided
upon. It is by no means easy to FORE
shadow the outcome, but il is natural to
suppose that the country at large would be
nightly pleased TO see the capitol doors
close with o bang upon the date named by
MIR. Reed. II his ambition in this direc-
tion is accomplished, it may make him
president earlier than even his most ardent
admirers bave desired. Mr.. Reeds action
in this direction will certainly be watched
with great interest.
