The Alligator Fad.

Quite popular fad nowadays is a
taste for live alligators. They are taken
in the rivers of Florida by negroes when
very young, placed in boxes and sent
through the postoffice to friends in the
north, and often emerge to find them
selves in some very fashionable houses
in New York. The alligator is not a
cheerful companion, as he spends most
of his time in sleep. 1t is only when he
is hungry that he displays any social
qualities or animation. The penchant
for alligatorsis not likely to be a lasting
one, for in the course of time they de-
velop greatly in size, and then it is not
safe to leave the baby in the immediate
vicinity.-New York News.

Last winter Mr.. J. n Huston, treasurer
of the United States, rendered his resigna-
ton. The president did not accept it until
recently, and when he did so appointed T.
II. Nebeker, of Fountain county, Ind, to
the vacancy While Mr.. Nebeker, who is
a banker, has never held any notable pub
lie Office, he has long been known in Hoos-
ierdom as an active political manager, and
his selection, according to Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hanna, sis the most popular that
Harrison has yet made, so far as the hust-
lers of the party are concerned"
The most notable incident in connection
with Huston's resignation was the refusal
of Hon. J. A. Lemcke to assume the duties
of the place. He was first choice with the
president. and it was only after he had de-
clined to serve that Nebeker came to the
front. Mr.. Lemcke is one of the best

same time one of the most popular with all
parties. He is German, having been
