Sad Effects of Too nuch CandOr in an
Aristocratic rlansion.

Two fair young girls sat in dainty
boudoir gazing into each others eyes.
I'VE are such good friends, Marcia, !"
said one, land we can afford to say to
each other just what we think. Now, l
have such a splendid scheme. Suppose
we start out day by telling each other
the exact truth, without regard to any
question of politeness.
How perfectly lovely, Lobelia," cooed
the younger girl of the two. Lets
begin right away. What do you think
of me?"
II think" said Marcia, 'that you are
always as pretty as you think you are,
and when you don't try to be you are
the most charming girl in the world"
How awfully good of you," rejoined
the other, land do you know that when
you came in 1 was thinking that you

A RAVING MANIAC.
The Airsh;p Story Wrecks the Mind
OF an OregOnian.

PORTLAND, Dec. 2.-Henry w.
Herne, who has been living a short dis
tance west of the city, has become a
raving maniac and has been sent to the
insane asylum. The sensational air
ship news from California wrecked his
mind.
Herne is an elderly man and has long
been regarded as eccentric. He has
been greatly interested in the reports
from California that an airship was in
successful operation in the neighbor-
hood of San Francisco. A few days
ago he became violently excited over
the stories.
He declared that he was an airship
inventor himself, and that he had
brought his invention to an almost per-
feet condition. Then he asserted that
some California man had stolen one of
his most valuable ideas and was using
it in the San Francisco airship. He
brooded SO much over this idea that his
mind gave way and he became violently
insane

LOUISVILLE (Ky.), Dec. 2.-The fif-

GOSSIP ABOUT THE CABINET.
A BOOM FOR A CALIFORNIAN HAS
REACHED CANTON.
Ex.Congressman Pacheco Discusses
the Name of Waymire With
the PreSident-EIect.

CANTON (O.), Dec. "A Cabinet
boom from the Pacific Slope reached
Canton this afternoon, though rumors
heralding its advent had been heard
for some days. The new possibility
who is being energetically discussed is
Judge James A. Waymire of San
Francisco. Ex-Governor Pacheco of
California, who was in Congress with
Major Mckinley, discussed Judge
Waymire in friendly and informal
way. After his interview with Major
Mckinley he said:
Il have known Judge Waymire for a
long time. He is a sound lawyer, a
man of affairs. His standing and his
character are of the highest His ap-
pointment to Cabinet position would
give great satisfaction and encourage
ment to Republicans on the Pacific
Slope. Judge Waymire was one of Ma
jor McKinley's most efficient friends in
California
j. w. Babcock. Chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee,
talked for long time with Major Nc
kinley and Mr.. Hanna late this after
noon. He discussed the wisdom of es-
tablishing permanent headquarters and
said that if campaign of education
were carried on in the two Dakotas,
Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska for
two or three years those States could be
brought into the Republican column.
Among the other callers to-day were
Commander-in-C Thaddeus S.
Clarkson of the Grand Army of the
Republic and his staff, General Henry
White of Pennsylvania, who served in
Congress with Major Mckinley.
Senator's Mitchell and Mcbride of
Oregon and Senator Thurston of Ne
raska are among the visitors expected
Tomorrow
The belief that Mr.. Hanna has agreed
to accept the position of Secretary of

Maine for Secretary of the Treasury.

Cleveland this afternoon.

phrases recognizing particular religious
doctrines. 1t is insisted that such Off
cial documents and acts be limited to
the accomplishment of Governmental
duties, and that the expression of the
religious idea emanating from executive
sources is subversive of the fundamental
idea of our Government, that church
and State should forever remain separ-
ate and distinct.
The report concludes as follows:
while we recognize that often illusions
in official proclamations to particular re-
ligious dogma are used as figures of
speech, We protest against any such per-
sons as giving color to the oft repeated
assertions that our Government recog-
niZeS a religion

When Hustlety came down to his place
of business the other morning he was
laboring under high pressure of sup
