SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes OF tenn
perature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing too
soon 1t is better to suffer little Inconvenience
than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to con-
tract bad cold or chill at this season of the
year.
A cough or cold contracted between the sea
sons is the most annoying kind, and may last
through the summer.
II you feel a cough or cold coming on, take
drink Of pure whiskey at once. 1t will keep the
blood in circulation and is the best preventive
against the disease OF the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey should be
taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from the leading
scientists and medical men. IL is the only
standard medicinal whiskey. Take no other
from your druggist or grocer.

ELECTRICITY IS AN ENTERTAINER.
Fantastic High Jinks at the Annual
Dinner of tAe Franklin Club.
EJou, P,,act;cdIo Eyecf,.jc;tu

from Prdcttcdt EtectT1cttH.
There occurred on Saturday evening
Jan. 81 in Newark, n ia the first annual
dinner of the Franklin Experimental Club
OF that place. The affair was entirely under
the direction of w. J. Hammer, who, not
long since, resigned the charge of the Edi-
son lighting station in Boston, a gentleman
whose ability as an electrician ~ matched
by his truly electrical humor. The novel
entertainment which ne furnished the club
and its guests on this occasion is destined ,
in its main features to be widely repeated
in the entertainments OF the future.
The dining room was the ordinary lsbora-
tory of the club, so transformed from its
every day appearance as to form an appro-
pirate banqueting hall. The viands, more
over, were cooked by electricity, even TO
the coffee-the latter being also brought 20
each guest on an electric cer running on q
railway about the table between the plates
and the central dishes; and cigars and
cigarettes were distributed by the same
means. High over the board, too, were
suspended great bouquets Of lovely flowers.
Appropriately. at the head of the table.
sat tie father of electrical science, Ben
Franklin himself, in a suit Of brown broad
cloth, with lace at the neck and wrists, and
his long white hair falling to his shoulders.
Promptly, as the guests were seated, the
patriarch, in a characteristic speech, vel
coined them to his table. They had all
heard Of the phonograph, and were not un-
duly surprised.
Scarcely had they tasted the delicious
stewed oysters, when out went the incaur
lghts-au aggravating, but highly
amusing situation. Then out Of the dark
ness two hideous grinning skulls Appeared
their eyes balls of fire. and their mouths
shooting out flames, while their jaws
snapped like crocodile's. Then the Dor
guests heard coming from in
visible threats twosepulchral voices, saying:
As We are nov. so once were we;
AS we are now, 50 ye shall be-
We suspect that just at this moment the

administrative Expedisncy."

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The Post is mistaken il it supposes that very
few people knew Of the existence Of "adminis-
trative expediency" as a ground Of removal Of
District officials. It originated with the former
Commissioners, Messrs. Webb and Wheatley, in
their letter Diminishing Mr.. Tichenor, April 70.
1888. as may lie seen by consulting The STAR Of
February "a, 1889, in which the letter was pub
lshed in full.
In The STAR Of February 81, 1889, Mr.. Cook
says they gave the same reason for his dis
missal. and as most people here read The STAR,
most people must have known Of the existence
of this reason at that time. II it was a good
reason for them then, why not for then sue
cess0rs now?
1t was then urged by those who desired the
changes that Mr.. Cook had held the collector
ship for years, and il was but fair to give some
one else q chance. The health officer has had
the place foi thirteen years and drawn s39, 900
in salary, and for one can't see any injustice
in letting some other equslly competent citizen
have the place for awL iie even ii he isn't "a
jolly good fellow with the 'bhoys."
As shown by the reply Of the former Com
missioners to q resolution Of the Senate OF
February 8, 1889, calling for list OF the changes
made by them, 1t appears that they had made
l32 changes, including most Of those drawing
the higher salaries, and not including, AZ they
state, the changes in the patrol branch Of the
police force and the subordinate members oil
the FIRE department. (See Sen. Mis-. Doc. No.
