THE TnEAsunY PoRrFoI1o.

l Speculation as to Who Will be tho l Late MT. Windom's Successor-Con. sul General New Called to Washing. i ton-Other Candidates.
 | NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A gentleman oi
 more than local prominence, who has long
 been identified with public affairs and i,
 thoroughly informed regarding the inside
 workings of the present administration,
 and who has just returned from visit to Washington, said to-day;
 "At five o'clock on Thursday afternoon | last, President Harrison cabled General
 John c. New, consul general at London, to
 come to Washington at once. It will be
 remembered that when President Harrison
 was making up his cabinet General New
 was very anxious to be appointed secre-
 tary of the treasury. He had been treas-
 urer and assistant secretary of the treas
 nry and his ambition impelled him to seek
 upon him that he could not then
 afford to sacrifice the consul-general-
 ship for the position of secretary of
 the treasury. The consul generalship
 would certainly yield him s25, 900 annual ly and, besides, would give many legiti- mate opportunities of adding to it. Indi- ana has fallen into very bad form political
 1y, and the president and his friends are much disgusted. The prominent candi- dates for the treasury portfolio are, in the following order, ex-Governor Foster of Ohio, William H. Mckinley of Ohio and Cornelius N. Bliss of New York. But un- some income from the consul generalship with it's freedom from care is better than the secretaryship with it's perplexities Qeaving out the impulses of ambition), he will probably be the next secretary of the treasury This is the settled opinion of those who are best informed as to the presidents purposes. When General New was here on recent leave ot absence he frequently rode out with the president so that they could talk without in- terruption. Outside of the personal re- lations existing between the presi- dent and MT. New the latter's ownership of the Indianapolis Journal and the influence he can wield in political af- fairs in Indiana in the coming presidential campaign, in which MT. Harrison is an ac- knowledged candidate, is . feature enter ing into the presidents choice of an impor- tant cabinet officer. In case the policy of the administration on the Behring sea and fisheries question become heroic, the ad- vice and judgment of General New will be of the greatest value. It is known that he has studied the whole question thoroughly from an international standpoint. As he is man of great discretion and caution, besides thoroughly American, his views will be of the greatest importance to MT. Harrison, who fully realizes this. This fact alone makes General New the strongest possible candidate for the secretary of the treasury. The objection that his appoint ment would make two cabinet officers from the state of Indiana will weigh as nothing with the president for the same thing has occurred before"

The Dynamite Victims Improving

The victims of Fridays dynamite explo- sion at Rich Cut are improving and the best of results are now hoped for. Bar bour, who was the most seriously injured of the party, is doing as well as could be expected, and, while not entirely out of danger, his recovery is now considered probable. One of the men, John L. Sul. ivan, was so much improved yesterday as to be able to see out of both eyes. It is now thought that probably sight may be saved to all of the victims

 PEORIA, H., Feb. S.-The town of Ellis vile, Fulton county, was swept from the face of the earth by fire yesterday. Only three houses are left standing.

A Guatemalan dispatch says General Cayetano Sanchez died to-day at Faltenango from shot wounds inflicted by soldiers. General Sanchez was arrested several days ago for insubordination and was put under confinement. Yesterday he attempted to escape, firing at the guards who followed him.

 The large History of New Haven was published three years ago. The editor of the book, Rev. E. E. Atwater, died soon after it was completed. The book contains the portraits of ninety of the citizens of New Haven who were then living. Of this number twenty have since died, being more than twenty-two per cent of tho original ninety. This appears to be re markable fatality.

ABSENT FOR THREE WEEKS.

pr. McChesney- Leaves To-day for
 Florfda-An Extract of His Morn-
 Ing Sermon Yesterday.
 Dr. McChesney preached to large con- gregations yesterday. He announced that he would be absent three Sabbaths from the pulpit as he leaves for Florida to-day, and that his place would be filled by his brother, Dr. E. McChesney of New York.
 He took his text at the morning service from the first book of Peter, chapter I, verse 2. From this he preached a sermon of much power. The underlying subject was, 'The Trials of Faith and How to Re gard Them"
 If any form of religion, he said, ever triumphs in this world it must offer joy which dispels sorrow, light which dis perses gloom. Trials expose the false in religion and reveal and confirm what is genuine. A life of irreligion is none the less without trials, but how pitiful to be weighed down by them without any con- solation, without God in the world

The sick room was very still the night
lamp burned low, and the watchers made
fantastic shadows on the wall, but no
one moved or spoke. The doctor said
this was the turning point Of the disease,
and there was nothing to do but to wait
wait
The boy slept and his father kept his
eyes fixed upon the thin, wasted features,
and watched for what ho hoped would
prove new LEASE of life. The mother
had gone to lie down and rest The
nurse sat near and dozed. At last the
sick child suddenly opened his large
bright eyes and said in a clear voice:
Papa.
What, dear boyln answered the father
softly.
Is il near morning?"
Yes, dear boy !"
And will be well in the morning? ?n
IL hope so, " sobbed the poor father,
family.
There was a long silence, then the sick
child moved restlessly on his pillows
l want to say my prayers, he muir
INJURED.
The father beckoned to the nurse and
she brought the mother, who stole softly
in and knelt on the other side of the bed.
Lift me up, said the dying child in
full clear voice; "hold me, papa, while
say my prayers.
he clasped his little hands together and
repeated like ono who was dreaming:
"Our-Father-which art in heaven
hallowed -be-Thy - name-Thy king
dom-come-Thy kingdom-come-"
Papa. I can't remember! Ican't re.
member!"
No matter, dear boy, you can finish it
in the morning.
Again he lay among the pillows like a
pale lily, and his eyes were open wide.
l can't see you, papa, he murmured.
"Will it soon be morning?"
Yes, dear boy"
And will be well then2"
The poor father could not answer. No
one spoke, and a faint light soon stole
into the room that drowned the flicker
ing rays of the night lamp and shone
rosy on the wall. Then suddenly little
voice filled the room. It was SO sweet
and clear that it sounded like strain of
music from celestial spheres. It was the
dying boy finishing his prayer! When he
came to the last clause he seemed CROP
ing in doubt.
"Foreveran eVer-forever and ever"
and with the words on his lips he drifted
off to sleep again.
The rising sun shone into the room and
lighted up its dim obscurity. 1t lay in
golden bars on the white pillows, and
touched the little face with mocking
glow of health and strength. Perhaps
it wakened him, but in the valley of the
shadow Of death he could not discern,
and with wide open eyes that saw not. he
murmured plaintively;
is it nearly morning, papa?"
ut is morning now, dear boy"
A smile trembled on the closed lips
there was dutter of breath that came
and went as the child elasped his thin
hands together:
Forever and ever-Amenl"--Detro

Their First.


They came into the street car together
Sunday afternoon, a little bit of a young
mother-still pale with the delicate pal
lor the cheeks Of young mothers often
wear. Behind her there came great,
tall, awkward young fellow with the
baby in his arms He had all the awk-
wardness and the clumsiness of the aver
age young father who goes abroad for the
first time with baby Of his own on his
arms. He held it up to his broad, full
chest so gently and so tenderly in the
hollow of one of his big red hands, a
frail, helpless little bundle of humanity,
for which that great giant would lay
down his life.
"Shan't I take him now ?n asked the
baby's mother when she sat down.
"No, no; I'll hold him, he said, as he
gathered up the baby's long ruffied and
tucked white skirts 10 keep them from
touching the car floor after he had sat
down.
"When you get tired holding him I'll
take him, she said.
"Oh, he won't tire me any. He isn't
any heavier than bird, was the reply.
Aud there they sat oblivious to every.
thing and everybody but the baby, their
baby! It's coming had been TO them tho
beginning Of the real home epic, and its
tiny presence had made their little world
so much larger and brighter and sweeter
than it was before. Detroit Free Press

Elastic but strong, This Lama.

when foreigners impugn the elias
tlcity and strength Of our institutions,
said Robert D, Layton to me yesterday,
" / am fond of quoting to them a biz of
my own experience. In the spring of
1855 was present when General John
ston surrendered to Sherman. The regi-
ment / served in, the Thirteenth Penn
sylvania Cavalry, formed a part of Cen
cral Sherman's escort. One of the sur
prises Of that day to us troopers was the
appearance Of General Wheeler, the fa-
nous Confederate cavalry leader. He
had been raising Cain with us for
months, and this and his raids in former
campaigns had made us think of him
as being of fearful proportions. We ex-
pected to find giant, and when a little
man Of spare frame was pointed out to
lis rs the terrible General Wheeler wo
were rather disgusted
well, almost 90 years later, in the
winter of 1891, guess it was, happened
TO be in the visitors gallery of the House
of Representatives at Washington. Ralph
Beaumont, tho labor leader, was with
me. and asked him who the little man
was who was then addressing the House
ON the tariff from the Democratic side.
You ought to know him, said Beaumont.
IIo used TO make it warm for you once
he's General Wheeler And for the sec
ond time l was surprised 10 see the little
man from Alabama. The first time l
met him he had just given up an attempt
to smack the United States Government,
and here is years later he was making
laws for the United States The country
that can furnish such proofs Of its elastic
liberty, strength, and fratenal generosity
rs this has nothing to fear from within. -

Meaning OF the Word "DoII.''
Numbered with other problems refer
ring to small matters is the one why the
little mannikin so enjoyed by girls is
called doll instead of, as the French
do, a ~puppet" or, with the Italians, a
"bambino, or baby. With a view to
setting at rest the minds of the little
women on this subject, Golden DAYS
has investigated the meaning Of the
word doll 1t says ITO explain, il is
necessary to go back to the Middle Ages,
/ when it was the fashion all over the
Christian world for mothers to give
their little children the name of a patron
saint. Some saints were more popular
than others, and St. Dorothea was at one
period more popular than all. Dorothea,
or Dorothy, as the English have it,
means a gift from God But Dorothea
or Dorothy is much too long a name for
a little, toddling baby, and so it was
shortened to Dolly and Doll, and from
giving the babies a nickname it was an
easy step to give the name to the little
images Of which the babies were so fond.

Literally means bad air. Poisonous
germs arising from low, marshy land,
or from decaying vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by
the bloed, and unless the vital fluid is
purified by the use of good medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, the unfortu-
nate victim is soon overpowered Even
in the more advanced cases, where the
terrible fever prevails, this successful
medicine has effected remarkable
cures Those who are exposed to
malarial or other poisons should keep
the blood pure by taking Hoods Sar-
saparilla.

For nearly four years company of
capitalists and engineers has contiI6ed
experiments with More and more inn
proved combination of pneumatic tubes
and electric appliances Intended to for
ward mail matter at a rate Of speed far
exceeding that Of the fastest express
trains. For short distances cylindrical
boxes, holding about 200 letters apiece,
can undoubtedly Be shot along at the
rate of 100 miles an hour, and by means
of system of quick transfer STATIONS the
transit tine from New Orleans to PhiIa-
delphia could thus be shortened to ten Or
twelve hours. The establishment of an
experimental line between Philadelphia
and New York seems an assured fact,
and the State of California would find it
profitable investment to spend dozen
millions in encouraging the invention.
The expenses Of a trip to the West coast
of our continent and the irksomeness of
q few days confinement in a railway car
are, after all, only minor considerations,
and the circumstance deterring most
East Americans from transferring their
homes to the Pacific Slope is the delay in
the mail communications with the At
lantic States. A line of pneumatic tubes
from Baltimore to San Francisco would
at once remove that objection.
