other half were dancing and yelling as il on

it. l never drank such a pleasing liquid in

/ referred to EX-Seeretary William c.
Whitney recently as the most likely of
Democratic dark horses for the Presidential
nomination, writes Carson Lake in the
New York Press. One OF his strong points
is the manner In which he treats newspaper
men. The one newspaper writer in this
country who first announced the exact COM
position Of President Cleveland's Cabinet,
and who named it days before any other
newspaper had it right. procured his in
formation through Mr.. Whitney, although
that gentleman could not have been accused
of giving away secret He said to
this reporter one day: "How many
times have there been two members of a
Cabinet from the same State? l wish you
would look 1t up and let me know" The
precedents were numerous. There had been
three Cabinet officials from the same State
at Que time. He took the list to Mr.. Whit
ney, and with shrewd guess made it the
cue for predicting that New York would
have two members in the Cabinet and that
they would be Manning and Whitney. He
had Whitney slated for Secretary Of War,
and on the day Mr.. EEdicott came from
Massachusetts to Albany, knowing that Mr.
Whitney had only that day come down from
a visit to MIR. Cleveland, the reporter went
to Mr. Wbitney's h0usefagan.
. l can't talk about the Cabinet now, you
know" said Mr.. Whitney. The reporter said
so he understood. Then he put piece Of
paper into Mr.. Whitney's hand, on which
was supposititious Cabinet. 1t was cor
rect in names as finally announced, but En-
dcOtt was slated for Secretary of the Navy
and Whitney for Secretary of War. Said
the reporter: ''Mr. Whitney, do not want

A FREAK OF NATURE.
Strange fhiction of a Girl Who, Until
Recently, Was Healthy

Strange A ffiiction of Girl Who, Until
Recently, Was Healthy.
For several months the medical fraternity
OF this city have been puzzled over the case
of pretty Anna Bentley, daughter of Nicholas
Bentley, well-known citizen. Until re-
Gently she was very healthy child, but to-
day her condition is mystery that cannot
be solved. Merry laughter has changed to
childish prattie, and it is now necessary to
feed her as babe. She has seemingly lost
all her former mental activity and fails to
even recognize, except by an occasional nod
OF her head, the members of the family,
who are at loss to account for the sud
den change. In height the girl is fully
six feet. with limbs perfectly devel-
oped and face that is at once
captivating. A strange circumstance is that
the girl has lost all control Of her vocal or
gans, being unable to make known her
wants and being completely dependent upon
her parents Her strange condition did not
become noticeable until a short time ago.
when evidences became painfully apparent
that the child was lettering on the brink of
imbecility. The child was always consid-
cred bright, and was the pride aud Joy of a
happy family. Your CORES pondent visited
the home Of the girl to-day. She was asleep,
but on the entrance of member of the
family would suddenly awake from SEEM
ing trance and would make the most piiiful
attempts at speech. 1t is the opinion of
noted physicians that she will lose the
power Of hearing, but they cannot explain
this latest freak of nature. - ValDaraiso
