A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman. a young man Of
burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to be Con-
sumption and incurable. He was per-
suaded to try Dr. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, and
at that time was not able to walk across
the street without resting. He found,
before he had used half of dollar bot
tie, that he was much better he con-
tinued to use it and is to-day enjoying

on high ground In Riverside park about
125 feet above the hudson, which it will
overlook. Fitting approaches and sur
roundings may be taken for granted.
Its architecture will be mainly Doric in
the lower portions, Ionic above; but the
great size of the memorial hall in the
basement, designed for military society
meetings, makes the Roman vault and
arch preferable to the Intel construc-
ton. This hall will terminate in On
aspe with an open crypt, In which will
be placed the double sarcophagus con-
tanning the remains of Grant and his
wife and sur1nounted by guardian
fgure;" also banners, relics and
souvenirs Of Grant
The supports of the dome are four
arches, under three of which are gal
leries, which are reached from the two
circular stairways IN front From
these, access is also gained to the inner
and outer galleries above by stair
ways &J
The outer gallery will be 1sO feet
above the ground line, affording COM
plete view Of the surrounding country
for miles
Although the extreme top of the
mnusoleum may be reached by steps
above this gallery, it will not be kept
open for the general public.
The dome Is supported on the interior
by pendentives, which fill in the transi-
ton between the square formed by the
vaults and the under side of the circular
dome.
Above these pendentives are thirteen
openings into the inner gallery. In the
panels above them the seals of the or
iginal thirteen states are to be placed,
directly over discs with the names, en-
blems, ETC., of all the states which were
reunited in consequence of Gen. Grants
victories, while above them all rises the
coffered dome.
For material of the crypt white gran-
lite, the stone least affected by climate,
has been selected The crypt itself is
large and roomy, reached by rear stair
ways and protected from intrusion.
On the columns in front are to be an
equestrian statue of Grants generals
of the four principal armies;" on the
sides, full relief panels for portraits of
the several major generals acting un-
der him."

A TEACHER ON TRIAL.
Principal 1nman, of West BELLEVUE, Accused
of Calling Pupils Unpleasant Names
Some of Them Denominated Brass

Principal Inman, of West Bellevue, Accused
of Calling Pupils Unpleasant Names
Some of Them Denominated Brass
Monkeys and Catamounts.
Some West Bellevue school pupils strongly
object to pet names, especially to those OF
catamount and "brass monkey" and Princi-
pal Inman's examination before the School
Board. on the charge of incompetency preferred
against him by Attorney Noah w. Shafer, is
growing in interest on account of the unique
features developed.
Prof. Inman was defended by Judge Fetter-
man, and the hearing verged on the spicy. The
charge of incompetency does not relate to
Prof. Inman's capacity in the line of scholar
ship, but in the allegation that he is unable to
interest and govern the school. Mr.. Shafer
charged that he had depleted the A class SO
that of an original muster of Il but two
pupils remained in it, though some of
lower class had been promoted to it.
Mr.. Shafer also charged that the principal had
no power to dismiss pupils or order their
parents to take them out of school. but in cases
requiring action, the board should be con-
suited, and its action govern.
The prosecutor says he only wants to clarity
the atmosphere In the schoolhouse, and says
if a teacher has right to call pupils idiots,
blockheads catamounts, brass monkeys etc. he
an authorized manner.
The board has not rendered a decision, so far.
The prosecutor says that if affairs are allowed
to run much longer in the present groove the
school will become very small.
A legal cross-Questioner is apt to spoil a
juvenile witness story. One little girl testified
strongly in favor of the principal. but when
asked by Mr.. Shafer il the principal had not
been much better TO the pupils for two or three
weeks past than previously, replied with ami
nation "Oh, yes, very much better"

HUSTON WILL SERVE

Offers His Resignation.
NO PRESENT CHANGE is EXPECTED.

rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

FRoA STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE eccentric
Mr.. Huston, who is the champion resigner
Of this administration, has furnished an
other amusing turn in his official career 1t
seems that his last resignation, like his sew
eral others, has been withdrawn, and that
;he genial champion resigner will continue
IN office.
Though his resignation was accepted be-
fore the adjournment of Congress, and State
Treasurer Lemcke, of Indiana, called back
from New York to be offered the appoint
ment, Mr. Huston seems now to be no nearer
being relieved from the custody of the Gov
ernment's millions than he was many
months ago, when the curious little comedy
of retirement was began.
When Mr.. Harrison talked with Mr..
Lemcke about taking the Office to relieve
his brother Indianian, Mr.. Lemcke had
been about to start on trip to Europe for his
health. There was some doubt about his being
strong enough TO undertake the responsible
tiles of the Office without first having some op-
portunity to recuperate. 1t was thought, how
ever, that the matter could be arranged. MIR.
Lemcke went to New York again, taking the
matter under advisement, and it is now under
stood that he will sail for Europe, and
that Mr. Huston will retain, for awhile at
least, the office of United States Treasurer.
The outlook to-day is that there will not be
change made in the Office, but of course the
President can't tell at what moment Mr.. Hus-
ton may send in another resignation with a re-
quest for prompt action. LIGHTNER.

PATRICK'S DAY PARADERS.

Irelands Patron Saint Honored by Public
Demonstration of Her Sons in the New
Land-Not Many Men in Line, and the
Day UneventfuL
ST. Patrick's Day yesterday was observed
by the customary parade of Irish-American
societies. The number taking part In the
procession was not so numerous as the
strength OF the Irish element in this section
would lead one to expect, but if the paraders
were few their wives, sisters. cousins and sweet
hearts were many, and occupied the Sidewalks
for the whole afternoon. The day passed away
without disturbance of any kind.
There were two parades, the larger being the
demonstration of the Board of Erin lrishmen,
and the other that of the American wing of the
same body. The most ardent of patriots could
not have complained at any feature of the
parade. 1t was orderly; sincere in emphasizing
by public display the devotion which 1rlsn-
men in every land have always had for their
patron saint, and though Irish flags and lrlsh
emblems were plenty, precedence was given 10
the Stars and Stripes as the national flag and
the flag which, through many years of bondage
at home, always sheltered the son of Erin who
sought refuge under its SHADOW.
The paraders assembled at the Cathedral at
80 O'Clock and marched down Fifth avenue to
Smithfeld street, to West Carson, Point bridge,
Penn avenue to Seventeenth, and back by Lib
spection by companies of the Rifles took place.
The order was follows: Squad of police;

Main Issue Before the People.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, March 17.-Ex-Repre-
sentative Thompson. who is here seeing after
some business, looks through rose colored
glasses at the political prospects of his party
in Ohio.
Politically" he said to-day, things in
Chic are in good shape from a Republican
point of view. We are going to make one
OF the most thorough canYasses OF the State
this year that was ever made at anv time
The Republican convention will probably
be held early IN June, and the campaign will
omen with the convention. Mckinley will be
OUr nominee Tor Governor. There is no other
man in the fed. The Democrats will nominate
Campbell and the fight will be made in earnest
from the start We shall make il hot cam
paign, and that means that we shall carry the
state, as we always do when we make the right
sort Of fight. We feel that We rather neg
lected things before, taking too much for
granted.
This time we shall make an active campaign
in every township of the State. Mckinley can
do great deal for himself He Will speak in
every county, and the effect of that sort of a
campaign Will be felt There will be number
OF local issues growing out of the city govern
ments. the action of the Democratic Legisla-
ture, and the like, but national issues will enter
into the contest also. The Democratic lies
about he tariff bill will be answered The Demo-
Gratis have been talking a great deal about that
measure, and their talk has been in a measure
quite effective. because there has been no
earnest effort of defense. the idea being that
defense was necessary. The tariff and the
work OF this Congress generally will be made
the issues Of the campaign, and Mckinley will
certainly be elected"
That VIII make him a strong candidate be-
fore the National Convention will it not?" was
an inquiry put to Mr.. Thompson. i should
think SO, was the reply. There is an idea
thai national issues should not be dragged into
local fights, but it is these issues that we are
either Democrats or Republicans, and for
man who has any higher ambition a campaign
largely on national issues is the thing"

The Complement Is Full and Enlistments
Have Been stopped.
WAsHIHGToN, March l7.-Orders have been
sent to the various receiving ships of the navy
TO discontinue all eniistments for the present
This is because the legal limit of $3.50 men and
boys has been nearly reached. 1t was discov-
cred last week that the number in the service
was within A of the limit and IN order to pro-
vide for the continuous service men, whom it is
always desirable TO re-enlist it was deemed
advisable to call a halt before there was no
loom left for these men.
In order to make more room it was decided
to discharge d number of men whose terms of
enlistment had nearly expired. The crew of
the Galena, about 50 men, were to have been
discharged upon the arrival of the ship at
Portsn Outh, but 1t is probable that they will be
retained now until the end of their Journey as
they have lost their clothing. 1t is expected

ordered 10 participate in grand naval review of

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE act making
appropriations for the Indian service passed at
the last session of Congress contained a clause
appropriacing 81, 99l, 900 for payment to the
Cnoctaw and Chickasaw Indians for the reln-
qulshment of an interest alleged TO have been
held by them in the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe
lnulan observation. There was some opposi-
tlon TO II IL the House, and during the progress
OF the dehSte Mr. Cannon read a telegram from
Secretary -fo"ie. In which he SAID he thought
the clam was Not well founded.
In speaking Of the matter Yesterday Secretary
Noble SAID that he had no powcr to control the
appropriation, but that when the matter came
before the President for settlement it would in
the ordinary course be referred to him. In
that case he would, he said, certainly make
thorough investigation of the matter and it
might lake considerably lo3ger to reach a con-
ciusion than the men who were after the money
thought absolutely necessary.

PRINTING REVENUE STAMPS.
The Plate Printers Win Their Fight Against
the Steam Presses.
IRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. ;

FROM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WAsHINGTON, March l7.-It has been de-
Cided by the authorities of the Treasury De-
partment to try working a night force of plate
printers TO bring up the backward work of
printing internal revenue stamps instead of re-
introducing the Objectionable steam presses. 1t
seems thar Chief Meredith and Comm ander
of Internal Revenue Mason were the prime
movers ii the scheme to get in the steam
presses Representations were made toAssistant
Secretary NettletOn, who knew nothing of the
light against the steam presses, which led HIM
- coincide with Meredith and Mason. When
Secretary Foster was appointed, he also was
brought round and the order was issued.
Finding out the new tide of affairs, the print
ers sent one Of their representatives to Phila-
delphIa 10 the headquarters of the Knights of
Labor and laid their cause before the chiefs of
that order, who wrote statement OF the mat
ter to Secretary Foster. When Mr.. Eos, er re-
Ceived this information of the true condition of
affairs he rescinded the order in regard to the
steam presses. and acted favorably on the sug-
Eestion Of the knights, and the printers TO put
