A WESTERN CABINET

The Cabinet of President Mckinley is
drawn more largely from what are known
as the Western States than any Cabinet
constructed since the beginning of the
Government. Before the war of the ret el-
lion the West as we know t now did not
exist. The States of the Mississippi Valley
had been admitted to the Union, but then
population was scant and they exercised
only fraction OF the political power they
now hold. Consequently few Cabinet of
ficers were chosen from that section. Mich

But taking SCI as tile beginning of

lowing table which shows the distribution
of the members of the Cabinet among the

Cat Hunting tn Central Park.

The guards at Central Park are now en-
joying their annual season of cat hunt
ing. About twice week, armed with rifles,
they sally forth with the privilege Of
shooting every cat seen In the park. This
is to protect the birds, which will soon be
coming from the South and making Sc
iections for nesting. Once q cat takes to
the woods and tackles game, all hope OF
demonstrating it is gone. 1t becomes as
wild as fox and twice as destructive
to bird life. Old hunters frequently meet
domestic cats in the woods and shoot them
without mercy, as their existence means

their cases was adopted. Nevertheless they

e. L. Kingsbury of Perrysburg, would
be candidates for sheriff and then goes
