Washington, Sept. 1S.-Captain
Wimberly, a member of the Republi-
can national committee and Mr.. Z. f.
Herwig, chairman of the committee,
were at the White House together to-
neutrality-suspicious.. .iereW An
day and had an interview with the
president, who received both his yisi-
tors cordially. Postmaster General
Gary, was also present. The Republic
can leaders talked over Louisiana ar
fairs with Mr.. Mckinley, but nothing
in the nature of the state of LouiSi-
ana appointees are arranged. In fact
it is stated that the president, who had
not seen Captain Wimberly, since Mr..
Mckinley left for his northern trip
treated him with marked considera-
ton and left no doubt in the minds
of those who ascertained the particu-
lars of the interview that he would
appoint Wimberly collector of the
port. 1t was not learned when the APP
pointment would be made, but that
Captain Wimberly will be the man is
no longer denied by those of his op-
ponents who are here and familiar
with the views of the president. The
charges against Wimberly have had
the effect of creating sympathy in ad-
ministratiOn circles but have not
shaken the determination to make him
collector. That he is to be appointed
is we'll known now to Mr.. HeCIig,
who is apparently working ia lar
mony with the national committee

Indeed, no, Silas. Every action of

professor drew a number of fine, even

Old Towns, But Young Cities.

The fact that New Bedford, Mass, is
to celebrate the fftieth anniversary of
it's incorporation as city next Octo-
Der brings out the interesting informa-
ton that only four cities in the COM
monwealth have passed the half CEN
fury mark. The town and settlements
of Massachusetts are among the oldest
in the country, but the cities are COM
paratively young. Cambridge cele-
braetd its ffti2th birthday as a city
last year. Salem and Lowell are just
ten years older than the university
town, while Boston attains her seven
ty-fifth anniversary this year. Worces-
ter as a city will be 80 years old on Feb
ruary 30, 1898, and two years later Lynn
may make the same boast. Newbury-
port, Springfield, Lawrence and Fall
River follow in order, at intervals of
a year apart. Chelsea joined the sis
terhood in 1857, Taunton in 1864, Haver-
hill in 1869 and SOmerville in 1871.
Fftchburg became city just 25 years
ago, and the next year, 1873, three new
names were added 10 the list-lolyoke,
Gloucester and New:ca. No more
towns were made cities till eight years
later, when Maiden and Brockton were
thus changed in 1851. OF the remain
ing Ii cities, Northampton is the old
est dating from 1883. 1t thus appears
that Boston is the only Massachusetts,
city older than Buffalo. Our semi-cen-
tennial of cityhood was celebrated i'll

In farming district in Louisiana a
candidate once made a very sensible
talk TO some of his disconnected constit-
uents. He told them that it was hard to
draw the line between the rich and the
poor tYou call the Blanks rich peo-
pie, " he said. but they are simply
well to do farmers. Over yonder, in the
river bottom, they would be regarded
as men of very moderate means. But
the. big planters OF the bottom lands,
even when they are out Of debt, are poor
men by the side of the great merchants,
manufacturers and general operators IN
the cities. You think yourselves poor,
but there are men who look upon you
as people in easy circumstances. You
are foolish to array the man with two
horses against the man who has only
one.
He then told the following story:
Zone day farmer rode into a little
country town in Il state adjoining Lou
isiana and got into talk with some
friends at a store where he had gone to
make seme purchases. Well, John,
said one, show are you getting along"
What, me? Oh, tolerably well-just
the same, just like I always do And
all the neighbors out your way, how
are they getting along?' Well, they're
just the same, too--just like am. We
never allow any difference out our
way, you know. No? Well, how do
you manage that?' Well, whenever we
notice any fellow getting ahead, you
know, we just go to see him, and we
stay with him until we eat him back. -
There are many such communities.

ahead, they swarm around them ard

That portion of Chicago's population
which is particular about the way it
dresses-and there is such a portion,
whatever the jealous residents of other
towns may pretend to thinks just
now in state of intense but pleasurable
excitement. This emotion results from
the fact that in one of that city's most
fashionable stores there has been placed
on sale full line Of shirts so construct
ed as to be exactly what the elegant
youth of Chicago have long demanded
in vain. 1t is shirt planned on wholly
new principles, and the inventor claims
for it the merit of preserving an appear
ance of immaculateness for an almost
indefinite period. Other shirts must be
sent to the laundry every few months,
but this one is subject to no such neces-
sity, and the consequent economy in
money and trouble will be almost be-
yond the power of figures to express.
The greater part of the new garment
is much like similar sections Of its pred
ecessors. It is upon the exposed front
that Chicago's benefactOr has expended
all the power of his genius. Indeed, it
is simply front that he has produced,
and yet it is by no means ''dicky" for
which he demands admiration and pat
ronage. The ''dicky' has been tried in
Chicago and found wanting. The new
device is disk of stiff linen, revolving
on gold stud and divided into four V
shaped segments of equal size and diff
ferent colors. Each segment is large
enough to more than fill the space left
open by a reasonably high waistcoat,
and is therefore shirt for all practical
purposes-as practical purposes in the
shirt line are understood in Chicago.
When enc quarter Of the disk has served
the purpose OF beauty and protection to
the Wealcr's satisfaction, all he has 20
do is to turn the next quarter into view,
and, behold, he is started anew on So
cial rounds and can face the world with
confidence of his power to undergo Sc
verest scrutiny Again and once again
may he repeat this operation, and after
that-weIl after that he Will be an old
man with little regard for appearances

The use of n9sthetics in surgical
operations has made this a new
world. The recent commemoration
of the employment of ether to deaden
pain inevitable to su rgery emphasized
this fact anew. But what heroism,
now seen to be unnecess airy, was
displayed when patients had to face
the terrors of operations! Almost
two centuries ago an Englishman, Wis
iting Paris, saw an operation involv-
ing risk to life performed on a child
only or years old. She 'under-
went the operation with most extra
ordinary patience" and expressed
''great Joy" when she saw it was over.
We can we'll understand the JOY, but
the patience seems almost incredible
to a generation which escapes so
much pain through the unreasonable
mercy of discoveries that Danish suf-
