A Report That Mr.. Cleveland Wants Him
to Take Charge of the Secret Service.

New YORK, December can even
ing paper Of to-day publishes story to
the effect that Superintendent Byrnes
of the New York police force is likely
to be appointed chief Of the United
States Secret Service under PresIueu5
Cleveland. The story goes on to relate
position by President Cleveland, who
had become impressed by the uno6-
trusive manner in which the Chief OF
the New York Detective Bureau
had conducted the difficult work
of guarding Mr.. Cleveland from
New York to Washington and through
the inaugural ceremonies on the occa-
sion OF Mr.. Cleveland's first assumption
OF the Office OF chief magistrate. Mr..
Byrnes at that time had still ambitions
to crafty in the New York police force,
particularly that of obtaining for the
detective bureau the reputation
of being the best in the
world, and he declined the offer.
The offer, it is said, was recently re-
newed, and it is asserted that Mr..
Byrnes is considering the advisability
of accepting it. The story can neither
be confirmed nor denied at police head
quarters.

For Early Closing of Stores.

Mr.. Editor:-Whl you permit
me through your columns to ask
our merchants to close their stores
earlier and thereby send our hus.
bands home to their families. The
excuse they offer for keeping open
after eight o'clock, "to acoommo-
date housewives TO do their shop
ping" is not well founded. After
that hour very few ladies', especially
mothers, are found in the stores,
and hence, they become more as
places for loating, for men who
ought to be at home, than anything
else. Why can't our grocers close
early as our dry goods merchants
dog They confess that they do not
make enough after eight o'2lock to
pay for fuel and light, and yet
persist in keeping open, and thus
tempt our husbands to stay away
from home until ten O'clock and
later. We know some of our mer.
chants who ought to be at home
with their families more than they
are. 1t is rumored that our z ROGERS
are too jealous of each other to
close early Suce poor, grasping
souls ought to be pitied
| am not revolutionist, but !
am ready to join an organization
of wives and mothers to boycott
every merchant who will persist in
keeping his store open after eight
O'clock There is no need of their
doing it. We can easily do all our
shopping before that hour, and if it
were SO understood it would be
done. II would be blessing to
the families of many home in our
city If the stores would close early.
The argument that our husbands
would then go 10 the saloon is
groundless, for the man who prefers
the saloon to his family goes there
now, and not to the store. 1t is
the store loungers we want sent
home. Merchants, please close up
early, that will accomplish what we
want A WIFE AND MOTHER.

IN the course of bit of advice
to young men as to the choice of a
wife the London news says: "Ex-
anime her hnger-nails. If they are
wider than they are long a hot
temper and an obstinate disposition
are indicated. If the nails are
square.tipped, rounded next the
hand, you may expect quick and
peppery temper, but not sulks, which
is the worst Of tempers in matri-
mony. Almond-shaped nails, es
pecially if not too pink, indicate a
cheerful, sweet temper, and are also
of high aesthetic value. If you
want careful, economical wife
look at her thumb. An extravagant
thumb bends back very far when
the band is opened, as all hands
should be. "Do not choose a girl
who has a soft, fat hand" with fin
gers held close together. These
things indicate seIfshness.
