Mr.. MAXWELL, Fourth Assistant

ing the appointment of ex-oilice holders
would be strictly observed, and as yet
has not signifed to Mr.. Meredith that
any change has come over the spirit OF
his dreams on that particular subject.
Mr.. Maxwell has nothing to do with
the appointment of the chiefs of divi-
sion in the Postoflice Department, but,
nevertheless, the fact that Mr.. Nathan
Smith, one of those chiefs, pronounced
republican, and who is not only an ex'
but present office holder, has been re-
appointed and promoted, naturally
strikes the average reader with sur
prise, when what Mr.. Maxwell told Mr.

answer to the summons when called to
be questioned concerning their qualf.

being secured and at the frequent
necessity of ordering extra panels.
When the hour for adjournment ar.
rived last night and only eleven jurors
had been secured after five days effort
no less than 2l9 talesmen had been ey.
amined. Besides these men who had
answered to their names. almost an
equal number had ignored the sum.

stated that he imposed a fine of 500

failed to answer to their names after
they had twice been called.

on It's breast trees, timber, lumber, bar

horses and other animals were swept
by, having been caught in the raging
flood on the bottom lands from above.
No casualties are known, but great
damage to property is claimed, which
falls principally on settlers and ranch
ers. This part of Arizona is an expan.
sive desert, through which the ella
river flows. Some are of the opinion
that where the flood passed in the

appointed a time for them to do so.
During that interview Mr. Cleveland

expressed desire to do something
handsome" for him.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1898

TT Is printed in the newspapers that
Secretary Carlisle says he is keeping
one place in the Treasury Department
until he can find an ex-Union soldier
to fill it, and also that his chief clerk
saws all the minor positions in that de-
partment, such as watchmen, &C., must
be filled by men of the class referred to.
It is well known that when Mr.. Villas
was at the head of department he said
no man holding minor place under him,
who was not an ex- Union soldier, should
he promoted. There must be some law
for all this, as it hardly probably that
democratic Cabinet officers would be
sectional and undemocratic enough TO
issue any such order unless compelled
to do so by the laws they have sworn TO
obey. But the Constitution declares that
the citizens ofeach State shall be entitled
to all the privileges of those of any 9TH
er State. Many people do not consider
the holding of minor place in a
government department privllge, but
many others do, and those of the latter
who live in those States in which there
are few or no ex-Union soldiers, but
who want to enjoy that privilege, don
understand why, as good and loyal
citizens of common country, 1t should
be denied them. in direct opposition TO
the Constitution, which, they have been
taught to believe, is the supreme law OF
the land. Ifthere be law making dis
tinctions among the citizens of the
country, favoring one class and dis
eliminating against another, it should
be repealed at once, for thatit is uncon-
stitutional is plain to be seen; and
if the democrats. who now have the
Presidency and both branches OF Con-
gress. fail to repeal it, they and they
only will be to blame.

stir in the society, and there is talk of
several members rendering their resig.
nation. Some members say that it is
carrying the blending of the blue aud
the gray little too far for southern
people to unite in honoring the widow
of Gen. Custer; that there are many
Generals of the Union army whom they
would be as ready to honor as they
would to honor the memories of Lee
and Jackson, but they must enter
protest against any honor being shown
to the memory of Gen. Custer by the
Southern Society, as the members are
aware of the bad favor in which he is
held by every southern woman who
has heard of his barbarous cruelties to
southern women and children during
the war.

Sudden Death OF Col. f. T.. Shepard

Sudden Death OF Col. f.. +. Shepard.
Col. Elliot Fitch Shepard, editor of
the New York Mail and Express, died
suddenly yesterday afternoon at his
home in that city. His death followed
the administration ofether by DIR. Chas.
McBurney and the family physician,
DR.. ]. w. Mclean, who were about to
make au examination TO ascertain
whether the colonel's suspicion that he
was suffering from stone in the bladder
was correct. He was 60 years old and
son-in-law of w. H. Vanderbilt. The
funeral services will take place Tues
day at his late home, No. West 52nd
street. Rev. John Hail. of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church, will con-
duct the services.
The physicians who administered the
ether were interviewed this morning.
DR.. McLane, said: 81 am not reticent
because there is anything to conceal.
The statement have made already
covers everything that is necessary to
say" This is it: "Col. Shepard had
arranged for an examination At the
hands Of DR.. Charles M. Burney and
DR.. Jas. w. McLane to ascertain if he
had stone in the bladder, of which he
gave symptoms. DR.. McLane is the
family physician. They gave him
ether at | o'clock. The first inhala-
ton produced dangerous symptoms,
and the administration was immedi-
ately stopped. He rallied under oxy-
gen but at 4:01 o'clock he began to sink
and died at twenty minutes after four
Of a,dema of the lungs" The certif
cate of Col. Sbepard's death was sent
to the health board te-day. The cause
of death was given rs inhaiatica of
ether. DR.. Maggie, register, would not
accept the certificate so worded and
would not grant burial permit. He
sent the certificate to the coroner with
orders that he make an investigation.

THIRD SET OF TRGPLETs-The many
admirers of Mrs. Ellsworth Miller, OF
Cold Springs, n. Y, who holds the
worlds record in the matter of multi
Pile collaborating, will be gratiiied to
learn that she has just presented her
husband with triplcts-two boys and a
girl. This brings her record for trip
lets up to three sets, and her total up
to l6. She was married on October III,
1888, nine years and five months ago,
and she is now 81 years old. She has
seven living children, including the
three whom she has just borne. Mrs.
Miller inherited her tendency to fecun-
dity. Her grandmother's sister gave
birth to two sets of quintets, dying with
the second set. The bereaved husband
married . sister of his late wife, who
gave birth to three sets of twins. Mrs.
Miller's mother did nothing more re-
markable than to bear one set OF twins.
But the impulse which lay dormant for
generation broke out in Mrs. Miller
with redoublea energy.
Her record stands at three sets OF
triplctts, three sets Of twins. and two
single births. Mrs. Miller is young yet,
and there is no reason why she should
despair of equalling the splendid per
furmapces OF her grandaunt. She is
strong, healthy woman, reserved, and
very domestic. She is quite proud OF
her achievements. as she may well be
in these days of small families and
women rebelling against the duties of
motherhood. Her remarkable career
was foretold by gypsy fortune teller
when she was still the blithsome Miss
Avery, The prediction of the gipsy,
was 'You &ili have three sets of
twins, three sets of triplets, besides
other children. Your progeny will be
numerous as the sands of the sea-"
Mrs. Miller told this prediction q year
ego last January. She had then borne
only $40 sets Of triplets, although the
prophecy of three set cftEins had been
fulfilled. The joyful additions to her
family few days ago complete the
prophecy of triplets. There only re-
mains the fulflment of the indefinite
"besides other children" and therein
lies her hope Of qqiHtetsl seHtets, and
the like.
