Quite number of the school boys are review
ing their winters work and are pleased with the
results. Every step they have taken has been
thorough. and they are prepared to wade
through an examination at any time. AS one
remarked. IF was as sure of liberty tomorrow
as am that can mast er any rule in this arith-
metic that have passed through. would be
safe in saying good by 1t would be impossible
to drill men more thoroughly than are the men,
beers of our school: the teachers taking an espe-
cial interest in each member of their class, max
ing him thoroughly familiar with the study in
hand before he can be advanced to higher
class; and it is ,preciated through hard study.
and the fact that none take backward move.
THE MIRROR will shortly give an entire history
of the school and chautauQua circle with per-
sOnal comments from many of those who have
been benefited by the studies and readings pur-
sued. Not only as to the benefits to be derived
from this knowledge acquired when they are
again at liberty but the wonderful influence it
has had in making imprisonment pleasant and
more profitable than could be imagined possible
upon entering the prison. The greatest punish
ment to the prisoner is to be left to his own re-
Elections Interest the mind upon some good
healthy reading, such as the chautauqua circle
has done, and is doing. and the rough edge is
taken Off the ever present misery of cOntine
ment and time flies as with wings. and to the
great number who could not read upon entering
the prison. who can now pick up a book OF
! paper and learn something of the great busy
world, the school has been a blessing that can
not be overestimated The present average at
tendance is 175.

the men at stake they are generally
kept covered up with unusual success.
Each day, however, brings to light some
additional bit of evidence which would
point 70 a cabinet reorganization, and
seems not well to let this constant Cos
sip and rumor pass without notice. The
first definite sign OF a break in the cabi-
net came with announced resignation
Of the postmaster-general. And al
though this was at the time denied,
with the denial absolutely necessary in
the circumstances, II was a denial which
was not believed anywhere. Mr. Bissell
is going to resign. The next occurrence
which attracts attention to the coming
cabinet disposition was the announce
ment that Justice jackson Of the SUI
preme court was to be retired, IL he did
not die before the retiring bill could pass
through congress. Justice Jackson.
whose serious illness has finally
PASSED into consumption, is said to
have returned from the south to
his Tennessee home to die there. I'm
mediately following the action of the
jackson retirement bill in the senate
came the statement that the President
would carry out a long-standing deter
nination and appoint Secretary Carlisle
10 the bench to succeed Justice Jack
son, II will be remembered that in his
former administration Mr. Cleveland
was so near to appointing Speaker Car
Isle to the bench as chief justice that
he discussed It with a number OF prom
inent democrats and only concluded
against the appointn ent with reluct-
ance. Now, after Mr. Carlisle has I'M
derEone two years of unprecedented
hardship in the service OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet and has undoubtedly to
a great extent overcome the chief inn
pediment to his appointment. Il would
seem particularly a happy time for
the President to make good his old in
tention, even though he has not so high
gift as the chief iusticeshlp at his
disposal. Mr.. Carlisle comes from the
sixth judicial district, to which Justice
jackson is assigned, and would from
that standpoint be a fitting appoint
ment, II has not been an easy thing to
settle upon the successors to Messrs
Bisseli and Carlisle. The latest rumors
give the treasury portfolio to Repre-
sentative Wilson OF West Virginia and
the acknowledgements to Repre-
sentative Tracey OF New York.
Following the lead of Mrs. Carlisle
Mrs. Charles Gibson, wife of the sena-
tor from Maryland, has just published
new cookery book, which is placed on
the market. The handsome breakfast
given by Mrs Westinghouse recently

matte dinner. The guests were Obliged

chairs, quaint tables and rich orna-
ments make the room very cosy, partic-
ularly when the lace-draped windows
look out upon the snowdrifts through
which the horses can hardly struggle.
Mrs Schofield is very busy just now.
for not only is her husband sick, but
his grown children and their families
are his guests and most of them are
sick with the grip, so the house is a
yeritable hospital and Mrs Schofield Is
acting as chief nurse. But she found
time to chat a few moments with a
correspondent about the generals new
dignity.
The post to which the general has
just been raised will not make any
difference that know of in his duties
she remarked in reply to a query. 1T
is dignity not often conferred and
think there are very few in this country
who have been so honored. There is.
however, one rank higher-that of full
general. In regard TO the family Of the
general. know that he does not desire
for his children and grandchildren to
appear in the papers, though all about
himself is public matter and on record
at the war department. The general has
three children. two Of them married and
a single son in the army. Just now the
general is too i'll to see anyone" and
Mrs. Schofield appeared to be very de-
sirous of getting back to her invalid's
side.
The present Mrs. Schofeld is the sec
ond wife Of the general and is much
younger than he, for he has grandchtl-
dren and his wife cannot be over 80 or
80. She was an Iowa girl and was mar
ried about four years ago. She has no
children. While one who does her So
cial duties. she is not particularly fond
Of gay life and in this her taste agrees
with that of her husband In appear
.ance Mrs. Schofeld is slight and girlish,
with blue eyes and brown hair which
she wears in a severe style. She is not
pretty but has a sweet face.
News from Justice Jackson of the
supreme court, who is in the south for
his failing health. is very discouraging
and it is not likely that he will ever be
able to resume his official duties, even
were he to get strong enough to return
to town. In consequence, there is
great deal of gossip going around as to
who is likely to be his successor ON the
bench. While william l. Wilson, Of
tariff fame. stands an excellent chance
and deserves something after his re-
cent defeat, 1t is rumored that Hoke
Smith and Secretary Carlisle may Ell
Their be chosen for this post. AS Mr..
Carlisle is man of fine legal acumen
and vast experience in public life. this
position would be just to his taste. for
there is no doubt that he would be more
at home in the supreme court than in
the treasury.
