WORST Suspicious CoNFIR MED
Mr.. Springer Has a Talk with the
President About..O Offices.

Mr.. Springer Has a Talk with the
President About..O offices.
WASHINGTON. March 13.-Congress-
man Springer of Illinois, was ne@of the
earliest callers at the White House, and
he went away not at all pleased with
the knowledge that Mr.. Cleveland had
intended to adhere to not appointing
former Office holders to their old offices.
As he himself jokingly expressed it.
''my worst suspicious were confirmed"
This is the second talk Mr.. Springer has
had with the president upon the sub
Jet, and in both of these interviews
Mr.. Cleveland made no secre. of his de-
termination to adhere to the reappoint-
ment policy.
Some Exceptions.
There is an understanding that Cleve-
land will make exceptions to this rule
in certain cases and one of these instan-
ces is said to concern Office holders ap-
pointed late in the previous administ-a-
ton who were removed by Mr.. Harrison
before the expiration of the term for
which they were commissioned. A few
such officers may obtain re-appointment,
according to report, and applications
from a number of those thus classified
have already been received
Will Stick to Home Rule.
1t will be remembered thatduring his
previous administration Mr.. Cleveland
appointed to territorial positions a large
number of men who were not residents
of the territories in which they were
commissioned to serve, and this policy
created great dissatisfaction. The plat
form of the Chicago convention of 1892
dealt with the question through a plank
which pledged the presidential nominee
to a home rule policy. Tothe congress
man who discussed the matter with him
the president said he intended to carry
out as nearly as possible the home rule
pledge of the platform. He had not
given the matter much thought, but
would take it up at an early hour.
The Rush Continues.
The rush of place hunters was as
great if not greater than it has been at
any time during the week. From 9:30
until noon several hundred people
called on Mr.. Cleveland, and the cabi-
net chamber. used as a waiting room.
was crowded most of the time.
Ex-C Congressman Owen Scott of ILL.,
nois. has given up the contest for pub
lie printer and when he saw the presi-
dent it was to ask that he be appointed
collector of internal revenue for the
Springfield district.
Undeterred by the no reappointment
rule, Colonel Chllds, ex-minister to
Siam, asked the president to send him
back to the land of the white elephant.
He was with Representative Dockery of
Missouri, who put in a good word for
him.

For a good many years past ballroom
reformers have been pretty constantly
agitating for the revival Of that stately
and classic dance. the minuet. The dis
inclination of young men to dance at all,
and their preference for the waltz when
they do condescend to ask for dance
has been an inert obstacle in the way;
but at last Herr Johann Strauss, the
famous Viennese musician, has sue
ceeded in obtaining trial of his pet
idea At the White Cross society's char
table ball in Vienna % couples danced a
minuet. The men wore dress coats and
black knee breeches, while the young
ladies were all arrayed in white empire
dresses and sandals.
The experiment. we are told, was "a
great success" Perhaps we may pres
emily see the minuet in American ball
rooms. The cheapness and simplicity Of
the dresses in which it is danced will
lend it favor in the eyes of fathers of
daughters, but whether the daughters
will see the matter in the same light is
not quite so certain.-San Francisco Ar

The Women OF BROOKLYN.

The wives cut great figure in Brook

that reveals wholesome and normal con-
ditions Everything tends to widen their
freedom-the quiet city. the saving in
rents. the absence of the men and the
fatigue or the desire for entertainment,

Therefore the women have had the OPP
portunity to build up pretty rivalry

flock to dancing school that they may
triumph at their own parties. They pre-

that the others may read papers at theirs
There is no within of feminine fashion that
is set spinning in New York but whirls
when it gets over to Brooklyn-always
provided that. it does not cost too much
or require going to the theater.
The women are the very backbone Of
the churches in which they sing and
hold fairs, and by means of which they
figure in circles that are proud Of them.
Is it any wonder that they cannot toll
crate New York, where the shopkeepers
won't send purchase around the corner
without pay in advance, where the pews
are private property in the best churches,
and where a lady feels herself of no ao-
count in the hurly burly? In Brooklyn
the police understand who owns the
town, and the car drivers pull up in the
middle Of block. Besides, if my lady
has no carriage, she observes that her
neighbors also use the horse cars.-Julian

A Popular Costume.

What pleasure it is to see women
turn out in well fitting tailor made
frock With their short, neat, business
like skirts, patent leather boots, hair
done up tight and smooth, cravats spot
less and fastened with tiny pearl headed
safety pins, hats fitting well and perfect
ly secured, beautifully cut bodices and
well fitting chevrette gloves, they sally
forth, and though the day may be rainy
and boisterous they look little the worse
when they come home.
Even the men DO not rival them in
turning up tidy after a long walk, with
the rain beating in their faces and the
wind trying its best TO dishevel them.
For wear with the tailor made costume,
or rather with the tailor made skirt and
jacket, the ever comfortable blouse
bodice is with us always and shows no
signs of taking its departure-in fact, it
will be more seen than ever this spring.

Two Women and One Muff.

A lady living within score or SO of
miles from Springfield attended an after
noon lecture in the city hall, and on her
way up town, when near Bridge street,
she discovered she had left her muff in

fully scrutinizing the muffs in the hands
of the women she met. At the corner of
Pynchon street she met woman with
her property, and demanded excitedly,

accents replied, ILL just found it down

CINE %. He was with a few members
of that company attempting to save a
screaming young lady who was hanging
from the third story of the Ames build

finally placed a ladder on the burning
building, and one man took the young
lady from her perilous position and placed
her safely on the ground. Instead Of
running as fast as she could for her life,
she carefully took hold of her skirts and
lifted them so as not to wet them and
slowly picked her way among the debris

she disappeared. Boston Record.
