long while. "Flora Culture by Mrs. Phebe
Wescott Humphreys, is ~seasonable, useful,
and interesting. "The Gold or the ChiId9"

special mention, though perhaps Theron
Derwent's Campaign" is equally good in a
different line. Melville Philips capital seri-
al, "Was She Fairly Won ~ winds up in an
unexpected but highly satisfactory fashion,
and is interesting to the close. As for the
"Woman's World" that is really beyond
praise, as every lady reader viii admit. ar

Mr.. McMlllin Has Conference With

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Ten

effort to move the President from his
stand as to the tenure OF office. They
want Republicans to go as soon as

pointment, is over. Congressman
McMillin had by special invitation
long conference with Mr.. Cleveland to

sion. Mr.. McMilin insists that office
holders are not entitled to hold longer
than four years from appointment,
and that confirmation by the Senate
is, as the world implies, simply
confirmation Of the Presidents action
in making the appointment. Mr.
McMillin called the Presidents at
tention to the fact that the Attorney
General had given ail opinion on ltthis
question eight years ago. This
opinion will be brought to the Presi.
dents attention, and Mr. McMillin
hopes that Mr.. Cleveland will be
governed by it. This opinion Of the
Attorney General was that four years
was all the office holders were entitled
to under the law, The question is
now to be shorn of all sentiment and
decided upon the cold facts. Mr..
McMillin thinks ne will win.
The Tennessee delegation called up
on the President to-day to urge the
appointment of John p. Murphy, OF
Knoxville, to be Public Printer. No
Tennesseans were appointed to-day
but several Consulates to which Ten
nesseans aspired were filled.
William Epps, of Knoxville, is g
new candidate for the postofice at
