NEW YORK, Jan. 30 The restora- ton of harmonious relations between the treasury department and the New York banking community is favorably commented upon in local financial cir cles.

Justice of the Supreme Court Temp Jra-
 riIy Laid Over.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 3o.-The nomina- ton of Wheeler II. Peckham for asso- ciate justice of the supreme court of the United States, was the subject of discussion during the most of the time the senate judiciary committee was to- gether yesterday, but it is understood that Mir. Hill had nothing to say.
 Many letters were laid before the committee, both for and against the nominee. many of them being, it was said, from prominent members of the New York bar So far as can be learned the discussion did not take political cast, nor was there anything said about the circulars and interviews which the nominee was said to have issued against Mir. Hill when he was candidate for governor at the time Mir. Cleveland was the candidate of his party for president in 1888.
 It is said that the friends of Mir. Hill, the same members who stood with him in the Hornblower case and ordered the adverse report, were ready to take action yesterday. but the friends of Mir. Peckham asked for more time. and on the motion of one of them the case was laid over until the next meeting, which will be one week from yesterday.

y MIXED RoMANCE.-A German
widower, in the village of Sanborn.
Mimi, sent, some time ago, to the old
country for a young lady whom he OK
pectcd to make his wife. Soon after
the lady came over she made up her
mind that her widowed adorer was not
the man she wanted. She did not, how
ever, return to Germany, but engaged
herself u servant girl to j. G.. Wager.
Looking through Yagcr's album she
became fascinated with hcphotOgraph
OF a man and thought that with him
she would like to cast her lot. On in
quiry she found that the young man
might be inclined to consider a pro-
.posal OF marriage, if it came in a quiet
way. A correspondence was begun,
followed by an exchange Of photo
graphs. The yaung man, who lives in
Indiana, went to Sanborn. When he
stood face to face with his co%rrespon-
dent he came to the conclusion that he
did not want to marry her. TIE mat
ter was settled amicably. The young
man did not depart Immediately for
his home, and by accident became ac-
quaintcd with very estimablc young
widow OF the place. He proposed to
her and was accepted.

PROPER TIME TO EAT FRuIr.-The
proper time for eating fruit is in con-
nection with meals, especially al
breakfast and dinner. 1t should be
supplied in generous measure with
those two repasts, either in it's natural
state or simply cooked. In either of
those ways it will be found easy Of
digestion, agreeable to the system, a
corrective Of many d~emoralized con-
d%itions. and most highly relished by
all appetites of normal condition.
There has come into vogue in late
years what may be termed almost a
fad for tho production of strangely
compounded things, in tho form OF
sauces and relishes of one name and
another, of which fruit forms the
foundation. but which are so disguised
by the addition Of spicings and other
foreign ingredients that the original
fruit is practically lost in sight and
taste. Let it be understood, once for
all, that these things are no longer
fruits, and are not to be considered
such, and can in no or degree
yield the beneficial results to be
derived from the use of fruits.-Good

asked his name, both parents, if they
are present, will reply, while the little
one will stand dumb. If but ono Eski-

put to him, he will look about in q dis
