Mr.. Cleveland WIN Have no Serotisn.


President Cleveland has defined his
views of ncpotism in a manner 50
forcibIc that he has left no doubt that
he is irrcvocably opposed to the prac-
! tice. The gentleman to whom Cleve-
land outlined his views on this ques-
zion is western congressman who
came to secure the appointment of a
constituent to office. He told Clevc-
land that the applicant was good
democrat. good fellow, and further
more a relative of the president him
self.
THAT settles it, Cleveland is re-
ported as saying His name can
not be considered, f." and then it is said
to have read the congressman lee
turc on the danger OF appointing rel
atives to Office, in which he placed
himself on record as against nepotism
in all its shades, meaning an appllca-
ton
Congressman Springer learned
something more about the new rules
for the appointments this morning.
He spoke to Cleveland about the APP
LEGATION of a former otlicc-holdcr for
reappointment to the postmasterShlp
at Petersburg ILL.,, and after explain
ing the facts in the case received an
answer favorable to the application.
The explanation was this: The can
didatc is = woman and a democrat,
who was appointed postmaster at
Petersburg by President Arthur, just
prior TO Cleveland's first term. She
was reappointed by Cleveland after
General Harrison election, but the
republican senate refused to confirm
the nomination and a republican OF
Harrisons selection secured the place.
Cleveland, after hearing this state
mcnt of the case, with the additional
information that the applicant is al
most unanimously indorsed, gave
Springer to understand that he would
lcappoint the lady His reason fol
making an exception to the "no reap
pointmcnt' rule in this case, barring
the strength which general common
dation gives the lady's case, is that
she failed to serve the term for which
she had been appointed by Cleveland
after his defeat in 1883, and is there
fore quite as much entitled to serve
now as then.
Cleveland has made several like
statements i'll connection with similar
cases to other congressman, and his
language ON these occasions and this
morning indicates that former APP
pointces who were prevented from
serving through lack of confirmation
by the senate will be given prefer
cncc in their applications for the Of
fees for which they were selected
under Clcveland's first incnmbency

THEA WALK ON AIR.
The Fa.ynhs Need no Solid Earth When
They Take Exercise.

The Fahyshs Need no Solid Emrth When
They Take Exercise.
The Fahvahs are the greatest leg
ertlemainists, nccromanccrs and hyp-
notists. in the known world
One of their principal feats is walk
ing in the air. The Fahyah who per-
forms it lays fiat down with his lace
toward the earth for minute or
minute and half, then arises, and
forcing his arms against his tsides.
standing very erect, deliberately walks
into the air as tar as his power of en-
durance will permit him, at times
reaching an altitude of from $50 to
400 feet when he simply walks down
again.
At first, says a writer III The Cincin-
matt Enquire, could hardly believe
my eyes, and thought | had indeed
seen miracle performed. 1t took
me over Il year to understand this
feat, at the end of which time | dis.
covered that it was accomplished by
thorough knowledge of the electro
cal powers.
They understand thoroughly the
laws of changing their electrified
form from the positive to the negative
by inhalation, and by that means,
lust The same as their universe is held
in place by congenlallty Of those
two forces, so they utilized them in
the performance Of this feat.
TO try to make it even clearer
will go into the philosophy OF the
trick; starting from the first princi-
pie Of electrical law, congeniality or
persons are introduced to each other;
instinctively each party to the intro
duction knows whether there is q
feeling Of perfect congcniality. that
proves that one is the positive and
the other the negative; if that feeling
of congenality is wanting; then they
both Dosspss similarly electrified
forms, and naturally are repellant.
Of course after associations may
oftimcs make tow much similarly
electrified forms friends, but It's very
rarely the case; the same law precise
" that governs the feeling of these
two men who have been introduced
to each other is that which controls
and keeps the universe in place.
The world is supposed to be $4,000
miles in circumference, 5000 miles,
more or less, in diameter; it reyolves
once around the sun in year.
That is q pretty rapid rate of speed
it must be admitted, and naturally
some force of electricity must DO
evolved; call it positive. Then if the
world is positive space must be mega.
tive: otherwise one would be repellant
to the other aud we would not hold
our place in the terrestrial armament.
Now, if the world does hold it is
place by that law electrical congen-
|iality, why is it not possible for the
man who possesses the knowledge
of changing his electrical form from
the negative (Which we who inhabit
the earth a1e) to the positive by the
process OF inhalation which he does
when he lies upon the ground, and
then walks into the same space, by
| the same laws, that hold that tro-1
nishious globe and all the other plan-.
! cts aud stars in their place.
That is the way, and the only way.
.Iby which the Falyahs perform this
Inost wonderful feat.

Root is said to have written the
above and then caused Dixon to copy
and sign it.
When Root left Chicago Dixon did
not accompany him. He left soon
afterwards. and went to the home OF
his brother. From there he disap-
pcarcd, and his present whereabouts
arc unknown. The bill sets cut
that he is being detained by Root
and asks that he be compelled to make

Until three years ago Henry y
Root practiccd law in New York. In
1890 he had an Office at No. 10 Wall
street and when he left there it was
understood that he had fallen into q
fortune somewhere in the West and
had gone to Montana. Since then
his friends in this city have not
heard from him. He is one OF the
principal claimants in the famous
Davis will case.
Henry \. Root was seen in the lob

He had not been served with any no

tor, an interesting experiment has
been tried with different musical i'll
strumcnts on the animals OF the Io-
illogical Gardens. The young red
orang-outang listened to the violin
playing at first with grave attention.
As the sound increased in volume liz
dropped. to the ground, his hair bris-
Ting with fear, and finally in AFFECT
terror he seized bit of carpet,
shook it ont and drew it completely
over his head and body. The music
continuing, he uncovered his head,
and gradually pleased smile came
over his face as he watched the per-
former. The piccolo threw the AMI
nal into renewed terror, the flute did
not interest him, but the bagpipcS
threw him into an ccstacy Of delight.
This enthusiasm would naturally in
cline us to the idea that the orang-
outang may be Of Scottish extraction.
\ further experiment showed that
the elephant enjoyed the flute, but
became wrathfnl at the piccolo. This
instrument, indeed, found no admir-
ers in the Zoo. The zebra, wild ass,
deer and ostrich went into paroxysms
of rage at the sound Of the piccolo
although they had manifested various
signs of pleasure over the violin and
flute. The tiger was asleep and re-
fused to be awakened by the fiddler
and the hutist. But when the man
with the piccolo began to play tht
animal sprany furiously to his feet
and rushed angrily up and down th'
cage, flashing its tail. SO extreme
was the beasts anguish that the pic.
colo man speedily gave place to th'
hutist. The difference in effect wa
at once apparent. The tiger stop

like kitten in its enjoyment of tn
grateful sounds, and presently fci

they would inaugurate a sympathy strike

Walters of the western district presided.
He is managing the Kansas strike, aud
naturally favors strike by the Missouri
miners TO help out the cause of the Kansas

THE KANSAS LAND OFFICES

WASHINGTON, July There WAS some
thing of a m!scalculation in the matter of
getting the secretary OF the interior to
approve the recommendation of the COM
missioner of the land office to remove the
Garden City and Larned land offices to
Dodge City and the kirwiu Office to Ober-
lin.
The secretary was asked by some mes
sages from Kansas to hold up tue matter
until some written statements could az
rive. Ii is not known that this in any
way changed his action, bus at any rate
he did not add his name to the recon-
incubation today.
Owing TO the absence of ;he president
and general lay up in business, it Is
thought possible that the matter may not
be finally settled for some TINS. This fact
may emharrass those who are trying 10
get the change, as II VIII give time tor the
opposition 10 be heard from, and it is
likely that ii very lively opposition may
put IN an appe arance now that there has
been mlscaIc0iatioR and the matter has
been held up. The original plan evidently
WAS to rush 1t through and get it done be
fore any OF the other fellows were aware
OF the scheme.

THE SECRET OF HEALTH.
Told in a Few Words-A Book Given
Away.

There are three things that every one
should look out for during the heated
season:
First-to keep up a good appetite and
digestion.
Second-To have regular and refreshing
sleep.
Third-To keep the system cleansed of
all impurities.
There is but one medicine that is able to
meet all these requirements. This medl-
cine Is known as Pe-ru-na, an old and tried
prescription of au eminent practitioner of
medicine. Pe-ru-na never fails to produce
IA good appetite and regular sleep, n or does
it fail to eXpel all Impurities from the sys-
TEN. A dose should be taken before each
meal and at bed time. 1t is of great and
lasting benefit to ali people suffering from
low spirits, nervous prostration, sleepless-
ness, over-work, exposure to the hot sun,
or those recuperating from acute disease
or any other condition of the system in
which the blood is poor and the nerves
weak. No case of consumption or Bright'S
disease can afford TO neglect to take Pc
ru-Da. 1t has wrought wonders in these
diseases.

THE MONEY MARKETS,

WALL STREET, July 1.-President Cleve-
lands proclamation calling congress to
meet on Aug had a magical effect on
values at the Stock exchange this morn
ing. Everything on the list scored ad-
vances, the Improvements ranging from
4 to 2 per cent. The bears were heavy
buyers, and in their eagerness TO cover bid
prices up on themselves. There was good
buying for investment, and, taken alto
gether, more confident feeling prevails
In financial circles.
After the opening the advance in prices
continued, and stocks gained p aud A. ;
per cent The advance was assisted by
rise of ) cents i'll silver certificates, to -
cents. subsequently, under sales TO real
re, the market reacted 4 and ] y per cent,
but at II O'Clock prices were steady.
Stocks were somewhat lower after II
O'clock, the traders having sold in antici-
patton of a heavy falling off in the bank
reserves. Tie reaction from the highest
points ranged from y to 235 per cent, the
latter being in Sugar. The decline was
accompanied with dullness. The market
closed steady.
LONDON, July 1.-Stocks opened steady,
soon became easy, and closed fractionally
under yesterday. Spanish securities We're
especially affected. The operators regard
Spain as bordering on bankruptcy, and
