Ers. Millions Ride.

When Mrs, Million goes to ri e she
travels fourth in state,
Her horses, full Of fire and pride, go
p%raneing from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she
views with languid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away,
her voice is but a sigh,
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced
stage OF catarrh, and all the luxuries
that wealth can buy fail to give her
comfort. She enyies her rosy waiting
maid, and would give all her riches
for that young Woman's pure breath
and blooming health. Now, if some
true dIsinterested friend would advise
Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, she would
learn that her case is not past help.

"a UNDER
The Manner in Which a StOnt Repub-
lican Sheet Looks Upon The
Appointment of Foster.

The selection of John w. Foster to
be Sec rotary of State will disappoint
and displease the country. While the
appointee has had some experience in
the diplomatic line, having represent
ed the country at the courts of MeXi-
co, Spain and Russia, he is not the
sort of man the average citizen would
be likely to mention in connection
with the highest position in the Cab
met. Ever since the resignation OF
Mr.. Blaine the newspapers have been
busy making suggestions as to his sue
cesssor, and dozens Of persons have at
one time or another been named us
proper persons for the place, but, SO
lar as we are aware, Mr.. Foster was
not among the nUmber. The public
has not thought OF him at all in this
connection. The people have heard
him recently as a sort Of %hanger-on
around the State Department, who
has, howevr, done some fairly good
work in helping on the reciprocity ne
gotiations. This work, though, has
been mostly OF a clerical order, which
two out OF every three Of The subordi'
mates in the Department could un-
doubtedly have done as well. Ger
tainly it was not the sort Of work that
should entitle its author to any such
recognition as has been received by
Mr.. Foster.
For several weighty reasons this APP
pointment is a blunder. So far rs
those familiar with Fosters record are
able to Judge, he lacks the ability and
mental poise and dignity requisite in
the head of the most important Of all
the Cabinet posts. Some of the great
est men the country has known-Jef-
ferson, John Quincy Adams, Clay,
Webster, Calhoun, Marcy, Seward,
Evarts and Blaine-have held this
office. In mental force and general
equipment AL these men stood i'm.
measurably above the new Secretary.
The appointment is a blunder
because in making it the President
overlooked at least a dozen men, any
n OF whom would satisfactorily fill
the position and uphold the dignity
and traditions of the post. 1t is a
blunder becauseit gives two Cabinet
offices to Indiana, a State which had
already received its full share Of Fed.
eral favors. 1t is a blunder because
It throws discredit on the administra
on and weakens the popular conf
dence in the Presidents judgment oil
the fitness of men for the duties Of
the offices under his control. Finally
it is q blunder because it will cast ar
air of truth over the story current 9
week or two ago, that Fosters ofi
ciousness caused Mr.. Blaine to resign
and thus will be a mortal affront tC
the ex-Secretary and his friends. =

sleepers and compartment cars, with
an extra sleeper for Indianapolis pass
engers, lighted electricity, and heated

The Beqinninq of Sprinq.

Perhaps you think you know when
spring begins; when you shed your fur
coat and see the grass coming up.
But unless you are familiar with the
old fashioned almanac, it would be
safe TO wager that you do not know
that spring begins to-day. On this
day the sun enters the Zodiacal sign
of Aries, or the Ram, and the vernal
season is with us once again. In the
latitude where the inventors and prin-
cipal users of the zodiac (they have
been dead a good while) resided, this
was about the date they began to pillow,
and they opened the spring campaign
by offering a sacrifice to the gods for
prosperous year. This sacrifice usu-
ally consisted Of ram, and he was
given place of honor in the zodiac as
the sign of spring. But though it is
hardly spring here yet, it is time to
look up a location for the summers

ing to the fertile wheat fields of North
Dakota, the corn-raisng prairies of
Nebraska and Kansas, or the mines
and ranches of Colorado, South Dako-
ia, or Wyoming, The Burlington is
