is TIE PRESIDENTIAL?
Report That His Lie Was Recently
Saved With Great Dinirulty.

(NaShlngton Cor PMladClphla IreSS.)
There has been some comment here up
on the fact that when Presidnct CloVe-
land left this city he was accompanied as
far Jersey city by Dr. O'Rcilly and
that DR.. Bryant met tho party at the lat
ter city and accompanied him to Gray
Gables.
DR.. O'Reilly is an army surgeon who
seems to have been detailed as a sort of
body guard to the president, who is ac-
companied on all his trips by either a ply
stefan or an army surgeon. His appear
ance indicates good health, but IT has
been whispered in certair circles that he
is subject to severe and sudden attacks
of rheumatism in the chest, and that Dr.
O'Reilly recently saved his life with great
difficulty during one of tie spasms.
1t Is known that Mr.. Cleveland is very
apprehensive of his condlt on and he pre-
fers to have "A physician near him On his
long fishing trips DR.. O'Relly usually ac-
companies him. II has been announced
that Mr.. Cleveland does not expect to re-
turn to Washington until October, and
that he will devote the summer to fishing
and improving his estate at Gray Gables.
Dr. Bryant is expected to remain at Gray
Gables for several weeks

The New Woman" as a Juror.

Man has been tried as a juror and found
sadly deficient. The new woman seeks
the rights and duties of citizenship and it
is only fair that she should he given a
fair trial juror-one of the most i'm
portant public duties which has fallen to
the lot of a man. Not all women, let
alone men, Will subscribe to this conclu-
sion, but the line of reasoning outlined
as well as the conclusion itself
are evidently those of Judge Of
Kentucky who has just decided
to test the availability Of women for Jury
service. However the Blue Grass region
is famed for its chivalry as we'll as its
mountain dew and it will be admitted
to be fitting that the courts of Kentucky
should be the first to open the portals of
the jury box to women.
AS a matter of fact the new constitu-
ton of Kentucky makes women eligible
for jury service and one of the Circuit
court judges, having on his docket a
breach of promise suit in which a woman
is the party defendant, has ordered the
sheriff to select jury composed exclu-
siVely of women to try the case This is
not only an unusual proceeding but a rash
experiment. and the outcome will be await
ed with no small degree of interest by
legal circles as well as by women and
men in general.
This female jury will have severe trials.
to be sure, but we are confident they will
be able to eXtricate themselves from every
dilemma with credit, for that is one of the
traditions of the sex. 1t will be no easy
matter, however. For example, in the
present case, 1t is announced that an
effort will be made to have all of the let
ters read which the male plaintiff received
from the female defendant. 1t is entirely
read, when once the jury hears of their
existence, for the woman's curiosity will
not rest until the jurors know the con
tents of every one of those more or less
tender epistles. In the case the court at
tempts to suppress any portion of the
letters, there will be great danger of a
lively and emphatic exhibition of con-
tempt Of court.
on the other hand If the letters are all
read ii will remain to be seen what sue
cess the fair Jurors will have in maintain
ing a spirit of impartiality. There are
cases in which wonans sympathy fol-
her sex is very strong, and these include
breach of promise cases. Every woman
of experience knows Of the patient ang
ling usually required to land a gooc
promise of marriage safely. and it nigh
be expected that these memories woulC
operate for the benefit of this unusua
man who has had the temerity to try
to make a woman keep her prom
Use, but the chances are agains
this, as will be found by CAREFUL,

In the first place the jury may contain

a thing or two as we'll as to enjoy he

der to avoid expense they are calling for
certificate as to absence of tuberculosis
to be secured in the locality or state from
which cattle are taken, to be drawn by
the graduate of any we'll recognized vet
Urinary school. and if the drover is not
prepared to furnish this clean bill of
health for his drove, his cattle must re-
main in quarantine for a period of from
30 to 90 days. This quarantine is, of
course, prohibitive and so the wise drover
provides his own veterinary at consider

There is a movement on foot for meet

New England states and those of New
York to arrange for more convenient

est of all concerned it is to be hoped that

papers as we'll as in railroad circles. That
there is n movement in the direction in
dicated, is not to be denied. There are
strong evidences that the consolidated
road is reaching out after the New York
and New England road, although the
managers claim that the issue of stock
about to be made is for the purpose of
making permanent improvements on the
Old Colony division and other improve
ments, as well as the payment of the
floating debt.
ON the other hand it seems to be a
forogone conclusion that the Boston and
Maine will secure a lease of the Concord
and Montreal road, as was forcshadowed
in our dispatches of yesterday. The direc-
tors of the Concord road having approved
the terms submitted by the Boston and
Maine, it is not at all likely that the stock
holders, to whom the proposition is to be
submitted next Saturday, will reject a
plan which the directorate has deemed to
be of financial advantage.
The consultations thus foreehadowed
would make a fairly clean sweep of the
important railroads of New England, out
side of the Central Vermont and the
Fitchburg, the Boston and Albany already
being practically allied with the New
York Central by Vanderbilt interests,
which are also dominant in the New York,
New Haven and Hartford. Rumors of an
attempt to consolidate the Fitchburg with
the Boston and Maine are officially de-
nied and as was shown by a Boston
telegram in these columns yesterday, the
ownership by the State of Massachusetts
of "a large portion of the common stock
of the Fitchburg is an obstacle to the
proposed consolidation that will be diff
ficult to overcome. 1t is safe to conclude,
therefore, that the Fitchburg will retain
its independence for some time to come,
at least.
So far as the Central Vermont railroad
is concerned we do not see how it could
be driven into a lease or sale although
fattering financial terms might of course
lead to either result. While lack Of ter
minal facilities has practically compelled
a number of lines in New England to yield
their individuality and become merged in
larger systems, as is the case with the
Concord road. the Central Vermont is
strong geographically as we'll as in it's
WORKING connexions.

That the electric chair may not really

that occurred at Rochester, y. Y, the
other day. An employee of an electric COM
pany came in contact with a part of the
apparatus in such a way that 5000 volts
passed through his body, burning his leg
to the bone and leaving him TO all APP

Scientists have questioned whether or
not the electric chair really put its vic
Tins beyond the possibility of res
toration to life, and the results of the
Rochester accident will awaken renewed
interest in the problem. It ought to be an
easy matter to try the same means as was

future to regain its old time standing ard
prestige, as a military institution. The

increasing number of students and grad

ter part of 1893 and down to june 1895, tho

Possibly our democratic friends can

it was in 1892 and the early part of 1898,

a check to democratic influence upon the

Josiah Quincy Elected Mayor-Iie-

thrown.

Boston, Mass. Dec. l0.-The Re-
publican administration which has
been in control of municipal affairs
for the past eleven months was over
thrown at the polls today, after one
of the most spirited and holly con-
tested campaigns IN The history of
local politics. The Republican may
or, Hon. Edwin Upton Curtis, was
defeated by 1876 plurality, and all
branches of the city government are
Democratic, the Republicans losing
control of the board of aldermen and
school conimittee.
Hon. Josiah Quincy, the success
full Democratic candidate for mayor,
showed great strength and made
heavy gains in nearly every seconti
of the city. Over $4,000 votes were
cast; the largest number ever record
ed in an election in Boston and rep
resenting over five-sixths of the to-
tai registration. The campaign was
fought on straight party lines, the
Democrats making every effort to re-
deem last years defeat, and their OPP
ponents seeking and endorsement of
the reforms enacted by them during
the year. The mayor elected today
will serve two years, it being the
first election since the election doub-
led the length OF the mayors term.
Hon. Josiah Quincy, the mayor
elect is well-known throughout the
Eastern States, having served as as
sistant Secretary of State during
President Cleveland's present term.

Ex-speaker Crisp replied to
Mr.. Barrett in rather an lronIcai
tone. The purpose of the reso
luton, he said, was evidently
to give the gentlemen OH the
other siee something on which
to air their views on protection,
He did not think, be said, that
a gentleman elected TO a seat
on the floor of the house believ
ed that this resolution contain
I'd grounds for impeachment,
"If You impeach Mr. Bayard
for those words" said the ex
speaker, ''yor must impeach a

Pile"
The republicans ieered at
this, but Mr.. Crisp proceeded
TO recall the overwhelming re
publican defeat that followed
the enactment of the Mckinley
protective measures. He added
that now if the republicans be-
lieved so heartily in high pro
lection, they should be brave
enough to form and pass a bill.
1t was the only way they could
Justify their position
