SURPRISED WASHINGTON.

Naming Of Smiths Successor Was Not Ex-
pected So Soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The an
nouncement that the president had ap-
pointed Ex-Governor Francis Of Mis-
souri, to succeed Mr.. Smith as secretary
Of the interior rather surprised Wash
ington, more because of the suddenness
with which it followed on the heels of
the announcement of Mr.. Smiths re-
tirement than because Of the selection.
The reasons for Secretary Smiths vol
untary withdrawal from the cabinet
were understood as soon as the an
nouncement was made on Saturday,
and it was naturally expected that as
he had retired because he felt obliged
70 support the nominee Of his party at
Chicago his successor would be in full
harmony with Mr.. Cleveland ON the
money question. There was feeling
also that the president would probably
select Mr.. Smiths successor from the
middle West as the South was
Already Well Represented
In his official family. Speculation
therefore went to Missouri, Indiana
and Illinois, and the names Of ex-Gov-
ernor Francis, Congressman Bynum
and others naturally suggested them
selves. Governor Francis took strong
stand In favor Of the gold standard in
the preliminary battle for delegates to
the Chicago convention, but he and his
associates were disastrously beaten in
his state. During the convention he
was also very active. Since the con-
vention he has, it is said by his friends
here, given no public utterance as to
his position with regard to the Chicago
ticket, and, so far as known, has not,
at least actively, allied himself with the
movement for the Indianapolis conven-
tion., Governor Francis throughout his
political career has been a
strong Cleveland Supporter
and Q warm friend of Mr.. Cleveland
and the administration.
Governor Francis is well known in
Washington. He has been here fire.
quently and Is exceedingly popular. He
was here only few days ago and it
was thought when he left that he had
gone to Gray Gables. Despite the high
honors he has already achieved he is
still . comparatively young man. in the
neighborhood Of 81, strong and vigor-
ous, Of sunny temperament and genial
disposition. Although tall in stature,
he somewhat resembles Secretary Nor
ton. In. personal appearance. He has
horid complexion, sandy hair and
moustache.
Ex-Governor Francis is said to be q
man. .of considerable means. He was
said to be millionaire few years ago.

CHINESE EAT NOTHING GOLD.
Their Greatest Deiicacy L. Said to he
Live Shrimps.

Their Greatest 1elicacy Il Said to be
Live shrimps.
The Chinese esteem shrimps above all
other things, says Parsons Weekly.
At well-served table they are brought
on swimming about in a glass bowl of
water favored with oil and vinegar,
which renders the creatures hysteri-
cally alive. With an unerring thumb
and foreGnger the Chinese diner-out
plucks forth the struggling fish, nips
Off the tail at one bite, and casts the
useless head behind him.
Shocking as it may seem to an Eng
lish housekeeper, the older the egg in
China, the more perfect from an cpl
curean standpoint does it become, for
no Chinaman who has right regard for
his palate eats a fresh boiled egg.
Taken fresh, eggs are sent to soak, after
having been washed in q tub of aromat-
ic water. After a time they are re-
moved, and the water used in mixing
paste of lime and salt, In which the
eggs are packed in jars. These are
Theoretically sealed and set aside to
stand for month, when they are sup
posed to be fit for eating. Those left
packed in salt and lime Cor 10 months
or more, when opened, are found to
have changed color, solidified partly
and are odorless.
The chief care of the Chinese is to
eat nothing cold. Warm or hot food
they absorb in abundance, but rightly
they maintain that cold food lowers the
temperature of the stomach beyond the
point where digestion can continue, and
so the whole health of the body is en-
dangered.

SOCIETY IN GUATEMALA.
Unspeakably Duh for the Average Youth
Brought Up in America.

Life in Guatemala City to foreigner,
and especially a young man, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, possesses
standpoint of amusement as would a
residence in a graveyard. There is abb
solutely nothing to do except work,
sleep and eat. The only place man
has to go when he has finished work is
to a saloon, and there he has nothing to
do for recreation but drink. The door
to the best society is shut in the face of
observation-disclosures as they are
called by the naughty dons-no matter
what their standing. Of course, when
one has official dignity he is invited to
the presidents ball and other official
functions, and has entree into society,
but there is no such thing as social III
tercourse in its American sense. No
body is allowed to see young lady I'M
less it is in the presence of her entire
family under the watchful eye of her
duenna, and there isn't much pleasure
in this kind of visit to most young
men of America. Guatemala City has
a population of $4,000, but has no
theaters. There was an opera company
of fair character there two years ago,
but there have been no attractions at
all of this kind during the past season.
Living is very high in Guatemala City,
and salaries are by no means cor
respondingly high. would not advise
any young man to go there with the
idea of making his fortune. There has
been too much immigration to the coun-
try as it is.
