THE CABINET

The predictions freely made the last
few days that President Cleveland would
appoint Attorney General Olney to the
vacant state secretaryship, were ycster-
day realized. In making this appoint
ment the president has apparently
selected a most worthy successor TO the
late secretary. Since Mr.. Olney en-
trance to the cabinet he has demonstrated
the possession of eptionally high
ability, and the conduct of the affairs OF
his difficult Office has been such as to
justify the greater confidence the presi-
dent has reposed in him. With the many
complex diploma attic issues it was Secre-
taIy Gresbam's fortune to encounter, the
at ttorney-general became thoroughly con-
versant as the result OF constant consul
tation with the department of state. He
is thus en- rapport with the foreign policy
OF the administration-th policy Of
honesty-and is prepared doubtless, to
take up the lines of action in the state
department where Judge Gresham left
them. In the seIectivn of the heads OF
the executive departments President
Cleveland has shown rare sagacity ana
it may be warranted that in this
instance he has made a fitting APP
pointm ent. D 1t would seem that
Mr.. Cleveland has appreciated the
tact m ore than any other President, that
the two chief essentials in a cabinet Off
Ger are adaptability for the tasks of the
Office and sympathy with the objects of
the administration. He very rghtfully
considers the cabinet mis- otti cial family,
and his appointments have been made
with that principle ever in view. He as
the chief magistrate of the United State s
is personally answerable for the deeds of
his administration and all the acts of
those constituting parts of the admins
tralton. Such being the unquestioned
case, he has invited men to the council
table who are personally acceptable. He
has been brave enough to throw over
board that political superstition that a
presidents cabinet is party advisory
board and should be representative of
the different factions of political organl-
zaiton. The effect of adhering consist
emily to this ideal has been to give Mr..
Cleveland the most harmonious and effect
i've cabinets in the history OF the coun-
try. The adoption OF the trary theory
in making up this important body has
Invariably resulted in inharmony faction
al bitterness and failure in administrative
designs. Washington's and Jackson S
cabinets furnish notable instances of the
utility of attempting to harmonize fac
tions iu the cabinet room.

Shakesneare Cluh

The Shakespeare club was delightfully."-
entertained by Mrs. Ira O. Smith, one of
its mem mbers, at lis last meeting AS the
guests entered her home they were served
with iced lemonade. A little time was
spent socially before the programme was
announced. in finishing the study of the
play of Henry V, the character study of
the king was given by Mrs. Mcclure,
showing the relation between the histor
zeal character and Shakespear : concep-
ton of the man. Following this was an
informal talk upon the Princess Katharine
by Mrs. White. 70 complete the study.
Mrs. Willard gave the courtship scene
between Henry and Katharine in such
a manner as to elicit much applause.
quotation contest was thea announced.
The members stood about the room. each
III turn giving quotation from Shakes
peare, and the contest was so lively that
the quotations were not exhausted for
over an hour. Mrs. Wineberg was pro-
beautiful rose pillow by her hostess. Mrs.
Ward, almost as fortunate, received n
boiling cloth banner painted with violets,
and to the lot of Mrs. Narel fell da inty
bon bon box All the prizes were the eX-
quiste work of Mrs. Smloh, which made
them doubly priced, and we're planned
by her as a pleasant surprise for the club.

RIVERSIDE RIGHT IN FRONT

Riverside is not as youthful as some
otner places in Southern California. but
she is bound to be just as dashing as
any. In the past few days her citizens
have voted almost unanimously in favor
OF bond issues aggregating $3.50, 900. This
sum is to be expended in the construc-
tion OF an electric lighting system and
in paving and otherwise improving the
streets. III the amount be properly eX-
pended. as doubtless it will be-for River
side is blessed with plenty of business
talent-the home of the Navel in Caiiior-
MA. will be as finely illum mated and as
well paved as any city of the size in the
country. In the remarkable eras of de-
velopment that was initiated III South
rn California about ten years since.
Riverside has seen the rise of many Wig
orous competitors. put it is safe to saw
that her prestige as a citrus capital and
charming residence community has
not only not been impaired but vsbly
heightened by the contrasts afforded.
About decade since there were practi-
cally but three places in this section with
regulations that extended to the outer
world, and they were Los Angeles, River
side and Sierra Madre, the latter having
been widely advertised as a winter resort.
Others. as VIC have said, since then have
risen to contest for places in the list of
fame, but Riverside is still in the front
line and will stay there if the enterprise
her people have just shown can be ac.
cepted as any criterion.

ANOTHER FAIR WILL CLAIMANT.
Ehe Document Presented By "Helen Me-
parmottd In rather Trahsparent.

Dsrmottd Is Rather Transparent.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-A few days
ago middle aged woman called on well
known local attorney and introduced her
self as Helen McDermott. According to
her story Senator Fair was the father of o
son born to her about year before the
senator's death. She says that shortly af-
ter the child was born the late senator
called on her, and In the presence of her
father and some intimate friends had
made q statement acknowledging the
parentage, and a few weeks later q doeu-
ment was signed by which she was to be
allowed 100000 for the education and
maintenance of the child.
She produced a document which resem-
bled tho writing of Senator Fair to sup
port her argument. The attorney thought
her story somewhat fishy but took the
document as evidence. He called on the
Fair estate attorneys to let them know
that they might prepare for contest from
her.
Carroll Cook heard of the affair, and
recognized in the woman former client
named Helen Palacids, who made serious
charges against San Matoo capitalist,
but on investigation her attorneys discov-
cred her true character and dropped the
case She almost went to prison for her
ohense, but the attorneys appealed for her
and she went free. She had been mixed
up in several queer schemes since her OK
posure queer thing about the Fair will
document is the fact that 1t is dated Aug.
T. 1896, eight months after Fairs death.
Fair died only four months ago, and Aug.
4, 1898, Is still four months in the future.
None OF the attorneys to whom she ap-
piled noticed the discrepancy.
