Speculation as to Who WILL Succeed Mr.,
Gresham

Speculation as to Who Will Succeed Mr.,
Gresham.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2s.-There
is considerable speculation by politicians
and others outside of the administration
as to the successor of Secretary Gresham.
Prominent among the names mentioned
are those of Acknowledgement Olney. Mr..
Uhl, the Assistant Secretary of State. Sena-
tor Gray of Delaware, ambassadors Bayard
and Eustis, ex-Secretary Whitney and ex.
Postmaster-General Dickinson. All the
predictions are. however, Speculative, as the
subject has not been mentioned. much less
discussed, by the President or any one in
his confidence.
In the act approved February 16, 1891,
Congress has also changed the law affect
ing the succession to such an office as is
now vacated by the death of Secretary
Gresham, so as to read: "a vacancy oc-
casioned by death or resignation must be
temporarily filled for no longer period than
thirty days"
The old law had limited the duration of
a temporary appointment in such cases to
ten days, but the President NAV now
designate Mr.. Uhl to act as Secretary of
State for thirty days at most. In fact. that
is just what President Harrison did after
Secretar Blaine's resignation. Mr.. Whar-
ton acted under his designation as Score
tary of State for the full legal period and
Secretary Foster was not appointed until
the last of the thirty days.

guarantees to every son and daughter two

If the morning streets were crowded, now
the afternoon makes them seem like some
interminable Midway Plaisance. There are
two million and half of people in Paris
They will not stay in the house of Sun

in the terraces of the cafes, out on the
sidewalks. The hundr eds of thousands who
sit stare at the promenaders. The hun
dreds of thousands who promenade look
for place to sit. And yet with all the

and the awful immortality on all sides,

their mothers. proud to do it.

placidly. Tomorrow nearly all must work.
Tonight there Is still dinner, still the cup
of coffee still the theaters, dance hall va

majestic, soothing tidal flow, it's calming

no" rak1r Made Money Out OF the
Gullible.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Speaking of street fakirs," said the tall
man of the party, Il used to know a fellow
in Lawrence, Kan, who was the king of the
crowd. He could make money out of any
thing. block of common soap was worth
many dollars to him as grease eradica-
tor or something of the kind, and for an
outlay of few cents he could turn pockets
full of cash. One day this young fellow
came to me and asked me in mysterious
manner to go into a loft with him. went,
and there found one of the most ingenious
outfits l ever saw heard of for doing
a gullible community.
This is what the outfit was: There were
100 small cloth bags, each filled with wet
bran. In each bag was planted cucumber
seed. Under the warmth and dampness
these seeds would soon sprout, and then
my young friend would take each bag and
dip 1t into a tub filled with highly perfumed
water Then the small fat leaves which
first sprout would be carefully taken off,
leaving the next leaves, which are rough
and wrinkled and do not bear such strong
evidence of identity. Then the hundred
bags with their sprouts would be put in
boxes and carefully carried to some Jay
town. where my young friend would actual
ly get 90 cents apiece for them perfume
plants. The plan was worked by him sue
cessfuly number of times, and he always
jured. He was fluent talker and always
disposed of his perfume plants in an easy
manner. Then, as persons who have been
caught at any such sucker game do not
care to SQueal, his chances Of detection
were reduced to a minimum"

From the Chicago TimesHerald.
A pneumatic hub bicycle has been invent
ed which the inventor claims will revolt
tionize cycle construction. The invention
consists in the insertion Of a small pneu-
matte tube in the hub of the front and rear
wheels, so protected as to give the lateral
rigidity of the ordinary hub, and at the same
time afford the residence found in the reg
ular pneumatic tire. The object Of the in
vention is to do away with the question OF
punctured tires, and the inventor claims to
have solved the problem. The rim tire OF
the machine is designed with rubber center
and two hollow gauges. so as to be practi-
cally non-puncturable, and yet give a cush-
ion effect, which, together with that Gforded
in greater degree by the pneumatic tubing
at the hub, it is asserted by the inventor,
will equal, If not excel, the residence of the
best cushion tire.
The hub construction is of small and light
proportion. The machine, as constructed 10y
the inventor, weighs 2212 pounds. The hub
tubing is in the form of a life preservar.
1t is four inches in diameter and constructed
of 5-12-inch rubber. 1t revolves with the
wheel, and is protected by steel thimoe
from friction with the axle. 1t is inflated
by means of an ordinary ball joint valve
Even when the tube is Debated, however, the
machine can be ridden without injury, say s
the inventor, either to the tube Itself or to
the metallic parts surrounding.
