gram from Lisbon:
This morning at O'Clock the Presidente Ezra.

OF the insurgents have not been able to prevent

the crew awaits the cruisers arrival.
Another despatch received by the Chllian

rules Of the National Association, to which
the park belongs, Nelson being barred out
Of all their tracks. The managers Of the
park ran the risk OF being punished; and
there has been demand for such action on
the part Of a leading turf paper Of New
York. But the Breeders Gazette has this to
say:
Before leaving Maine for the West, the stallion
Nelson was driven over a National Association
track near his home, and on account OF that fact
New York paper tnat poses as the organ OF the
National Trotting Association Is shrieklng for
the expulsion Of the member that permitted an
expelled horse and man TO perform on It's tracks
According to the rules OF the National TrOtfing
Association this action should naturally follow
the performance OF Nelson, hut it Is doubtful
II the National Association people Will nerve
themselves up to the point Of putting the rule into
force. There Is feeling, not only outside the
circle OF the National Association, but also
among good many Of the members OF that or
ganization, that when the parent society under
TOOK 70 investigate the Boston stallion race and
fair lt undoubtedly extended its authority 70 take
cOgnizance over matters OF which it had not the
slightest jurisdiction, as the track on which the
Boston race was tr0tted was not a member Of the
National Association. The re never has been any
sympathy with the National Association so far as
the Nelson and Alcryon matter Is concerned, and
new that the American Association has renstated
Nelson and his owner on the ground that the Ma
ti0nal Association had no Jurisdiction it will be

Maine member that allowed Nelson 10 trot will be

HAS NOBLE RESIGNED.
Some Reasons for Believing the
Current Report That He Has.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The report to the
effect that Secretary Noble has rendered his
resignation to the President, is confirmed by
number of circumstances. Still there is
no one here who can speak with authority
either for Mr.. Noble or for the President.
Secretary Mobiles house here is closed.
Books selected from his library, such as a
man about to change his regular surround
ings would be likely to take with him, have
been carefully packed in cases, and there are
other external signs indicating a speedy
change OF residence. Ii this report shall
prove true, the resignation will be wholly
due to reasons personal to Mr.. Noble. He
Is at Rtchield Springs for his health. and il
is known to his friends that If he shall re-
tire, 1t will be mainly on account of i'll
health. There is the best authority for say
ing that Secretary Noble will retire from the
Cabinet. leaving the best possible relations
between the President and himself. Their
personal feeling, always cordial and conf
dental, was never more friendly than now.
The Secretary regrets leaving the Cabinet,
but he does so for reasons which seem to
him wise from his private point of view.
The President equally regrets to part with
but. cannot gainsay Gen. Mobiles individual
decision.
Nothing certain can be stated as to Secre-
tary Mobiles plans. 1t Is known, however,
tIldb uo WOulu W6lcOu0 du appointment 10
the bench OF the new circuit court. The
eighth judicial district. in which his resi-
dence lies, stretches from Arkansas to the
Canadian line. The extent of its territory
and the variety Of its interests would give
him ample occupation, and would testto
their fullest his judicial qualities The posi-.
tion would be one for life. On the other
hand, it Is also known that Mrs. Noble and
her two sisters strongly desire residence
abroad. 1t is therefore within the range Of
possibility that the President may, after ac-
cepting Secretary Mobiles resignation, desire
TO confer ugon him appointment to an impor-
tant foreign mission.
Acting Secretary Chandler, of the in
ternal revenue department., declared to
an Associated Press reporter today
that the report of Secretary Mobiles
resignation is untrue. Mr.. Chand.
Ter thinks the rumor Is simply a revival OF
previous reports which had been denied by
the Secretary himself.
More Changes Rumored.
NEW YORK, July 31.-A special from
Washington TO the Mail and Express says

fellow-townsmen, but he had ono grave
fault, which was only too common
among men of his generation. He was
given to the use of West India rum. At
intervals he disappeared from view,
retiring to his little bedroom, and gave
himself up to his jug for hours and
even days At these times the captain
simply gave out that he was not ''in
port.
His wife, most excellent woman,
expostulated, entreated, SEQ ded, but in
vain. The captain seemed beyond her
influence.
On one occasion when the captain
had retired to his room for this dis
creditable reason and had spent more
than twenty-four hours there, there
happened to be a great demand for his
services on the part of the navigators,
who were just starting out for Cape
Horn. They came and went, and poor
Mrs. M, the captains wife, was
worn out in answering calls for her in
capable husband.
Finally there came to the door two
young New Bedford men, masters of
whalers, who wished to obtain from
the captain some information likely to
be of great value to them. When Mrs.
M opened the door one of them
said, in a rather loud voice:
Il am told that Capt. Nj is not in
port. Can you tell me when he will
be in?"
''IIum!" she exclaimed, turning half
around and speaking loudly enough to
be heard in the captains room, he
may be expected in port when the wind
stops blowing from the West Indies
The captain heard. There was ST.
lence for a few moments, and then
came crash of crockery on the stone
tagging at the back Of the house. The
jug had gone out of the window. Then
there came a sepulchral voice from
within:
shes stopped a-blowin, Priscilla"
BY and by the captain came out,
dressed in his best clothes, with clean
'dickey" and a neatly adjusted stock.
His wife's simple joke had sobered him,
and he was not only ''in port that day,
but continuously thereafter.-You

Soap From Corn.

Soap of a very good quality is now
reported being manufactured from corn.
Experiments have shown that a bushel
of corn will make two hundred pounds
of soap. There is probably no cereal
which can be put to more general use
than this one. 1t is a favorite table
dish, corn starch being one of its valua-
bic productions, and it is often used in
making whisky. Heretofore it may be
said to have been used indirectly in the
manufacture of soap, being principal
agent in forming the fat on ham and
bacon, but never until lately was it
known that corn in its natural state
possessed some of the most important
requisites for soap making. Now that
this new use has been discovered, the
corn fields need not necessarily be more
numerous, in order to satisfy the in
creased demand for the cereal, but the
cultivation of this grain will certainly
be none the less profitable in conse-
quence. National Grocer

A DISGUSTING DISEASE.
1t Renders a Man Obnoxious to Those
About Him.

About Him.
When one is sick with typhus fever
or rheumatism it is not customary for
ones friends to declare that he ought
to be ashamed of himself and that he
must stop being sick without loss Of
time. Such sickness is regarded as
misfortune and it is realized that cure
must be supplied before the patient can
be restored to health But the habitual
drunkard seldom receives such consid-
GRAFTON from those about him. His per-
sistcnce in drowning his faculties in
rum fills his friends with disgust They
bear with him awhile and then turn
from him as incorrigible. SO he ruins
his health and his fortune and dies
miserably before his time. Yet this
man suffered from disease. He needed
cure which was not supplied him and
he died.
The man who has never tasted intox-
icating liquor has no desire to do so.
1t is not difficult for him to remain sober.
On the contrary. to drink enough liquor
to intoXic2te him would be to such a
man an exceedingly disagrceable task.
Then why does the drunlSard crave
liquor so eagerly? Why does his whole
nervous system demand it? He has ac-
quired an appetite for liquor is the
common explanation. But what sort
of an appetite is this which takes pos
session of every fiber of the body,
which sets the limbs to quivering and
turns the brain to fire? 1t is disease.
The man is poisoned and he must be
cured or the poison will destroy his life.
