1t Has Greatly Improved Since He Has
Been mt Gray Gables.
Word comes from Gray Gables that the
President has improved so much in health
during his sojourn there that he has decided
to dispense with the further services of DR..
Bryant. the New York physician who ac-
companied him nom Washington to his
summer home and who has been in constant
attendance upon him lever since He was
pretty badly run down when he left this
city. and a heavy strain of work and an
almost total lack Of exercise had overtaxed
his naturally robust constitution.
Although his malady was publicly dag
rosed as malaria, 1t was generally under
stood among his Intimate friends that he
was dangerously near point of nervous
prostrat alton. Absolute rest and the inyigor-
ating breezes of Buzzard's Bay have been
most beneficial to him. SO much so that the
necessity OF keeping physician close at

to find accommodations at a hotel or be the

STEALING LIBERAL THUNDER.
REFORM OF the House of Lords in the
UnfOnist PROGRAM.

Underneath seeming stagnation Of poll
tics In England two highly important move
ments are going on. The movement of first
Importance Is the initiative step of Cham
berlain't unionists. who are about to merge
with the conservatives. partly with a view
OF consolidating the anti-home rule forces
In the coming general elections. The mere
reform of the mechanism of elections is not
by any means the greatest change intended
to be brought about through this move
ment.
The Duke of Devonshire, the arch-union-
list, and his scarcely less astute coadjutor
Mr.. Chamberlain, propose a common pro-
gram, marking the entire absorption of the
unionists by the conservatives, the chief
feature of the movement being the revision
OF Mr.. CnamDerIalns Irish local govern
ment scheme to the extent of creating
county councils with the central legislature
in Dublin.
The Duke of Devonshire is also credited
with having urged Lord Salisbury to accede
to reform of the house of lords nv de-
creasing the hereditary and increasing the
representative element. Obviously 1t IS the
desire of the liberal element of the unionists
10 go TO the country In the next elections
with platform containing the most at
tractive planks of the election manifesto of
their opponents.
The other movement, which originated
with the wirepullers of the national liberal
federation. aims to recast the Newcastle
program. putting in tie foreground the pro-
posals for the abolition Of the veto power
of the house of lords and the English labor
questions, and keeping in the background
the questions of home rule and church dis
establishment. The executive committee of
the national federation is convinced that
home rule is no longer potent party cry
and believes 1t necessary that the electorate
should be agitated upon other grounds

Our Legs to Vanish.

From the Westminster Gazette.
DIR. Emil Young professor Of physiology
at the University of Geneva, is in great dis
tress concerning the future of our legs He
suggests. in an essay in the Semaine Lit
teraire, that in course of a thousand years
the human race may have lost the necessity
of the use of legs, and retain those men,
hers Of the body solely as ornamental sur
vivals. Men refuse more and more to walk
though walking is the wholesomest of ply
steal exercises Steam. electricity, the rope
railways, tricycles and bicycles have
changed the whole aspect of Swiss touring
as he says. in his own generation. Every
body seems anxious to get everywhere any
way except by the use of his legs" In an
other generation, he supposes, our travelling
balloons will hang outside our windows, or
our electrical coaches stand outside our
door. They will be produced so cheaply
that every man will have his own chariot.
Hence our legs will become superfluous
then they will be crippled, and shrink to
hideously small dimensions until at last
they will finally disappear. Our arms on the
contrary. will correspondingly strengthen
and lengthen. "While our legs remain"
says DR.. Young, "let us march all We cam"

In order to relieve the crowded condition
Of NJ street in the SiciHity Of the market, it
is being generally suggested that the Com
missioners alter the plan Of the proposed
new market house! SOFAS to do away with
the necessity of the country people occupy
ing the roadway to the serious annoyance of
outside dealers. The present back building
into which the stall owners have removed
pending the improvements Is said to be
amply large for their accommodation. 1t is
therefore said that IL the new structure
were made an open one, under which the
country people could back their wagons,
with regular aisles between, much conven-
ience would be afforded purchasers, the
country people would be better quartered in
bad weather, and the street on which the
cable road is to be extended will he relieved
of many Instructions. On either side of the
market there is q wide space, sufficient for
the free backing of wagons, feeding of
horses etc.
