I'll Gahineie de Mckinley.

Segun los dltimos despachos reci-
bidos en- Washington, parece que el
presidente Mckinley ha progresado
mucho EN- sus esluerzos para escoger
ell personal de su gabinete, y que la
mayoria de los puestos han sido lena-
dos, y los vacantes han dado pabulo a
negociacIones entire el presldente y los
lnteresados. Sc supone como cosa
clerta { indubitable que el senador
Sherman, dc Ohio, seri nombrado Sc
cretario de Estado, cediendo por fin a
las solicitaciones del presldente y d
los empehos dc sus amigos Hasta
ahora Sherman Sc habia manifestado
muy sumlso d aceptar un puesto en-
el nueyo gabinete, pero dltimamente
Sc ha mostrado mas docil y Sc cree
que concluiri por aceptar el nombra-
miento. FL puesto dc ministro de TO
mento, 8 secretario del interior, ha
sido oirecido al Juez John McKenna,
de California, quien probablemenle

Societies, for it means the federation OF
the womanhood of the world.
The results of the practical work of the
councils in Canada twas dwelt upon and
some of the benefits cited, which the con-
certed power of these women had effected.
The idea of the next Triennial is to
have two houses in the council; the up
per one for the state councils; the lower
one for the local councils, and think,
said the speaker, what would be this pow
er for the womanhood of America, and OF
the world.
.sWould not the moral effect of such a
combination of cooperative women the
practical effect of carrying out the golden
rule, produce great results?'
In closing, Mrs. Davis told of an ex-
perience of her own at the council meet
ing in Chicago, where she found herself
beside the sixth wife of a Mormon on one
side, and an Eeager German free thinker
on the other, and although there was such
differences of opinion between them
the Mormon and the free thinker and the
Presby because they were all
workingssfor the sbetterment of the race,
they were sisters, and there was kinship
between them.
Mrs. Davis salso said that OF the
councils in the United States, the local
council here YVES regarded as one of the
best arranged of any in America, which,
Of course, was very gratifying to the
women of our city to hear.

In the work of education there are four

various reasons had not had the adyan-

CHEERFULNESS.
Right Within Ourselves, Its Birthplace.

Any day, wet or cold, hot or dry, is
pleasant to the thoroughly healthy man
or woman. We have within ourselves,
the power to make our days cheerful or
disagreeabie. We do not depend upon the
condition of the sky or atmosphere. for
when one is perfectly poised, physically
and mentally. the days go by as a dream
of comfort whether they be dark or
sunny.
Our goal should be health. Mental
health is a strong element to bring about
physical health, but i'll health can be, and
is, set up by the use of elements contained
In food and drink that do not conform to
the wants of Nature.
We are inclined to the use of narcotics
and stimulants for their temporary dead
sning or quickening Of the nervous sys-
tenn and the heart, but these unnatural
things bring about serious conditions; for
instance, tine pulse of the coffee drinker
Dr. tobacco user, shows arrangement either
little or great of the heart. This trouble
is ordinarily coupled with stomach and
some other difficulties.
The ones who see clearly the advantage
in business, home and society, of per-
feet condition of mental and physical
health, will not require urging to have
them abandon articles of food or drink
that prevent the accomplishment OF the
desired end.
The leaving off of coffee for ten days
and the use of Postum Food Coffee in its
stead, will demonstrate the value of the
above suggestion and the fact that Pos
tum furnishes brain and body with well
selected food elements which go to re-
build the daily disintegration, while at
the same time, Postum furnishes a delic-
ious beverage If one be particular to
know that after boiling commences, it is
allowed TO continue boiling fifteen min
utes. This is necessary to obtain the food
elements and the proper taste.
Postum is the only Cereal Coffee yet
discovered, with coffee taste, that is
pure and free from low grade coffee or
other drugs.

THE GEORGIA ROAD LEASE.
A Fight That May BE Long Drawn
Out and Interesting,

There Is promise of a long and deter
mined fight over the possession of the half
interest in the Georgia railroad lease for
merly owned by the Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia.
The question before Judge Don A. Par
dee at present is on the bill of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, by which 1t
seeks to establish it's title to the entire
leasehold interest and upon the subject
matter of this petition the defendants
Messrs. Thomas and Ryan, the Central
of Georgia Railway Company and others
deny the jurisdiction of the court. An ar
gument against the jurisdiction of the
court was made by Mr.. Henry Crawford,
representing Messrs. Thomas and Ryan
What course will ultimately be taken
upon the petition of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad remains to be seen. but
there Is another bill which presents some
still more interesting questions. This is
the petition of Messrs. Thomas and RYAN
asking to be put In possession of the half
interest in the lease formerly owned by
the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany. This half interest was one of the
assets of the old company, was in the
hands Of the receiver as such, and was
recognized as such by the United States
court, and by the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company. Messrs. Thomas and
Ryan purchased the assets of the Central
Railroad and Banking Company, and as
THIS was one of them, they hold they have
a clear title to 1t. The court must neces
sarily take cognizanee of such a petition
as this. for as an asset of the old com
pany the half interest m the lease was
formerly in its possession, being held as
such by the receiver appointed by the
court.
1t has been believed for some time that
the Louisville and Nashville put its claim
10 the entire lease on the ground that the
receiver of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company delayed to pay the rental
until some time after 1t was due. IT ia
stated on positive authority, however, that
the receiver rendered the rental to the
proper parties before the close of banking
hours on the day that 1t was due and
found at that time that the louisville ana
Nashville had already paid it. The cash
was then rendered to the Louisville and
Nashville, which company refused It.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad is
now in possession Of the entire leasehold
interest Of the Georgia railroad. but the
ownership of the half interest In question
is to be determined by the court. AS a
part of the property which they purchased
Messrs. Thomas and Ryan are making an
plication fer it. Should this half interest
come into the possession of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company It is UNDER
stood an effort may be made to hold the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany responsible for the course IL has
taken in the matter and for its action
since 1t has been In possession of the lease
Altogether the question promises To no
one of the most interesting that has aeis
tated railroad circles in Georgia In some
years. and so far as can be seen now
the fight Is going to be a warmly con
tested and long one.
