A Washington reporter with q nose
for the unusual In the news line has dis
covered President Clevelnnd's Sartorial
artist. and out OF the discovery he has
woven an interesting story as to the
measurements OF his obese exccllency
While calmly awaiting has Jovian nod
OF pleasure or dIspleasuFe on the Cuban
question his fellow countrymen, pulsinG
with curiosity. will be relieved to know
that the President wears six suits of
clothes year, with rough hunting
and fishing suit on the side, OF the Bour-
bon diagonal and pilsnGr check pattern
His favorIte suit Is u three buttoned
soft rolled cutaway, but his majestic
amplitude Is always adorned with a
Prince Albert or dress coat on import
ant occasions.
The greatness OF Caesar was once at
trlbuted 10 the diet OF certain meat,
and so in this day It has been marvcled
where enough cloth OF one pattern could
be found to clothc the ruler OF
this country. The ingenious reporter
who obtained small sample OF the
Presidents new spring suit went to his
tailor and asked to have u suit made of
the same goods. but was told he could
not have it for the reason there was no
more cloth like 1t in the store.
The reporter was not disappointed,
however. for a. suit OF clothes was not
his real mission. What he did learn
was that the piece which was used In
the Presidents suit contained nine
yards. As the cloth was thirty inches
wide the arithmetIcal result is that 1t
requires just sIxty-seven and n half
square feet. or $50 square inches ma
terlai to cover the President OF the
United Statesmen counting the but
tons.
For his FalStafilan proportions Mr.,
Cleveland has to pay SIS extra. Ac-
cordlng to the figures on the -ta4lors
books the President. since last year. has
Increased nearly two inches around the
waist one and one-half around the hips.
1t requires the undistracted attention OF
two men to measure hIm-one man
holds the tape and another does the rest.
All Of which is very charming and inter
estlng to the Intelligent newspaper
reader.
II is now in order for some other en-
terprising reporter to discover the Pres
dents wiener wurst butcher and ascer-
tain how many links he serves day
and their average weight and their

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About tho Ne" DiseoFery for
Curing Dyspepsia.


From Mich. Christian Advocate: The
Rev. +. l. Bell, n highly esteemed min
lister residing In WeedSport. Cayuga
county, n. y. In a recent letter writes
as follows: There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has re-
lieved the dyspepsia, from which have
suffered for ten years. except the new
remedy called Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tab
lets. Since taking them have had no
distress ut all after eating, and again
after long years can sleep well. REV.
F. |. Bell. Wecdsport, N. Y, formerly
Idalia. Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is re-
marknble remedy, not only because II is
certain euro for all forms OF indiges-
ton. but because 1t seems to act ms
thoroughly In old chronic cases OF Iys-
pepsln as well as In mild attacks OF In
digestion or bilIoUsaess. a person has
dyspepsia simply because the stomach
is overworked, all II wants IL harm
less vegetable remedy to digest the food
and thus give It the much needed rest.
This 10 the secret OF the aucccsa OF
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much dIsorderCd tho dlFeS-
ton may be. Stuart'S DyspcpGln Tab
lets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not Now lie ana
energy Is given not only to the stom-
ach, but to every organ and nerve In
the body A trial OF this splendid mcdi:
cine will convince the most skeptlcal
that dyspepsia and all stomach troubles
can be cured. The tablets are prepared
by the Stuart Chemical Co. Of Marshall.
Mich, but so popular has the remedy
become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets can now be obtained Mt any drug
store at so cents per package.

The insane asylum at Jacksonville,
Illinois. needs thorough overhaulinS
II the Chicago Tribune is well advised.
The story Is that negligence of attend
ants is responsible for five recent deaths
In the institution. two Of them by scald-
Ing in the bath. One OF these untortunRtes
went to his death while the attendants
we're playing cards In m adjoining
room.
When a state takes into Its care the
most unfortunate OF It's citizens 1t owes
to them and to itself that they have at
least humane treatment. The state
means well or 1t would not care for the
insane at all. The trouble Is with those
who are placed in charge. 1t may be
that they become hardened. It may be
that their patience is often severely tax
ed. II may be the british instinct that
takes advantage Of the helpless,
whatever mny he the reason. the fact
is that no public institution is so likely
as an insane asylum to &c a public
abuse. Prisons OF all grades seem to be
more humanely ruled than insane nsy-
lums. There Is yet to be devised a sys-
ten, OF supervision that will remedy the
insane asylum evil.
1t might be done to n degree by the ap.
pointment Of tiGh.ciass visitors who
would take enough interest in the work
TO visit frequently and unexpectedly
and report at once any bad or negligent
treatment OF patients.

THAT SEED RESOLUTION
Ana Its EnectS-ComptrOIIer Bowler TO
Run the Matter.


WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE ques-
ton OF the construction OF the seed reso-
luton which has now become law ana
its effect on the law which II Is Intended
10 enforce and under which the former
seed distributions have taken place. has
been referred by Secretary Morton TO
both the attorney general and the comp
troIler OF the treasury for opinions
Preliminary arrangements for carrying
the law into effect have been MADE by
the agricultural department and Secre-
tary Morton says he will execute TO the
letter OF the as construed by the attor-
ncy general.
The reference OF the matter 10 Comp
troller Bowler is TO prevent any holding
ZIP of the expenditure accounts. Secre-
tnrw Morton reiterateS his previous
statements that he intends to buy the
seeds already packed. This he says,
zig a matter optional with the secretary.
There Will be no more employment OF
unskiiied and absolutely new employees
every season 10 attend to this part OF
the distribution scheme, BY doing
away with this employment the gov
eminent will be able to buy for the same
money on hand twenty-five per cent
more seed. II any additional force Is
needed. employees Will be procured
through regular civil service Cxamlra-
lions. The amount OF money which has
been already appropriated for the work
Is about $I29. 900. The law provides that
the distribution shall take place as In
preceding years and therefore there
will be about 10000, 600 packages of seeds
to buy and two-thirds OF these Will be
subject to orders Of senator's and mem.
hers OF Congress The seeds can be OF
little use at this time In the year and In
the south the gardens already are made
up and by the time the seeds can ne
niaccd in readiness to be sent ont there
nrc scarcely more than eight or ten
states were they would arrive In time:
These include some OF the New England
states. Minnesota and others In that
latitude"
The secretary Is making up list OF
the seed eFta bllEhmcRts in good stAnd-
lng with the department and in case the
decision requires It circulars will be sent
asking them II they can furnish the
seeds and their prices.

II Secretary Carlisle will accept the
Democratic nomination his party Will
do well to give 1t to him. He represents
as well as anybody could his party's
tariff purpose. He agrees with his par
~ that a protective tariff is a violation
OF the constitution. He favors a tariff
IN which there shall be no protection.
He would open tho markets of this coun-
try wide to the products Of other lands.
As a sound money Democrat Mr.. Car
Isle would be cut to the quick by the
free silver Democrats. but that would
ma Ike no difference In the general re-
suit. 1t would merely take few more
states from him. No Democrat can be
elected President this year. so that II IS
not a question OF picking n winner.
The task before the Chicago conven-
ton will be to get n worthy representa-
tive OF the Democracy of to-day who
win consent to run, AZ Mr., Carlisle is
understood to be willing, he Nils the bill.
