THE DIAMOND JUBILEE.
Distinguishing Name That VIII Be Given
the longest Reign Celebration.

Distinguishing Name That VIII BE Given
the Longest Reign Celebration.
1t seems to be settled that the long
est reign celebration will be known as
the diamond jubilee, for the prince of
Wales set the seal of royal approval
upon it by the use of this description in
a speech. The preparation will soon be-
gin, as the celebration is rapidly assum-
ing a magnitude unforeseen when it
was first preached. The prince of
Wales, the duke of Connaught and the
duke of York will have to bear the brunt
OF the labor of entertaining, in order to
save the queen as much fatigue as pos
sible. It is reported that the representa-
tives of her majesty are negotiating to
secure large new hotel for the accom-
mediation of the many members Of roy
al families expected.
The London Chronicle says that En-
peror William attaches the greatest i'm
portance to his visit to England upon
this occasion, and that he hopes to meet
the car under his gTandmother's roof
and improve the occasion to dissipate
misunderstanding between Russia and
Great Britain.
The court functions of the present
season include five drawing rooms and
five levees. The state apartments in
st. James palace are being redecorated
and the prince of Wales will hold two
levees there prior to his departure for
Cannes in the middle of February. The
day drawing room will be held by the
queen in person, and the rule limiting
the presentees to 200 will be strictly OBJ
served this year.

PRESIDENT KINDTo GYPSY BOYS
Orders His Coach Halted While They
Pick Up Their Marbles.

SOAcn " nile They
Pick Up Their Marbles.
President and Mrs. Cleveland were
driving the other day on the Glenwood
road on the outskirts of the capital,
where several families of gypsies have
pitched their tents. A crowd of ragged
children belonging to the band were
playing marbles in the roadway. AS
the presidents equipage drew near the
driver, motioning to the children to dis
perse, raised his whip to rush forward
at all hazards. The children, treasur-
ing their playthings more than their
own lives, shouted frantically: "Oh,
mister, please don't run over our
marbles"
This would have been passed unheed-
ed by the driver, but the president
quickly rose and ordered the coachman
to stop. Then the children were told
to gather up their marbles. All the
while they kept looking at the occu-
pants of the carriage with grateful
smiles on their dirty faces. Mrs. Cleve-
land returned the smiles, much to the
delight and qualification of the little
gypsies.
When the marbles had been hurriedly
restored TO their owners the president
drove on, followed by the earnestshout:
you're awful good, mister" coming
from the little fellows with unkempt
hair and torn clothing. Little did they
know that it was the president of the

The first few minutes of fire is the
critical time; quarter of minute is
worth saving. Millions may be lost in
that time. When anyone is sick every
instant is precious, particularly at the be,
ginning before disease gets any Roadway.
When you first begin to feel "below
the mark" when you are not getting all
the strength you need out of your food,
when You are languid and indisposed, it
is time to try the toring, strengthening
effect of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t extinguishes disease
by making rich, healthy blood, full of the
life-giving red corpuscles which drive out
disease and flood the vital organs with
fresh vitality.
Every disease which has its seat in the
blood is cured by this marvellous "Dis-
covery" after all other remedies have
failed Its effects seem little short of
miraculous in curing obstinate, chronic
throat and bronchial difficulties and even
consumption.
Rundown" people, delicate women,
pale and puny children gain flesh,
strength, color and nerve force by using
this marvellous Discovery" 1t does
not make flabby fat like so many "emul-
sions," but hard, healthy, muscular It's

Scarlet the Sunshine Color.

Scarlet seems the color most con-
spicuous in brightsunshine, and scarlet
flowers are commonest in dry and sun
ny climates, where their color gives
them an advantage in their struggle
with other flowers for the attention of
butterflies and other pollen-bearers.

DARLINGTON BOOTH DENIES.

Says the Volunteers and the Salvation
Army VIII Not Consolidate.
Commander in Chief Ballington
Booth, who has just returned to New
York from a trip to the west and who
has Just heard Of the rumor foretelling
q probable consolidation of the Volun-
teers and Salvation Army, says in let
ter:
IT wish to state unhesitatingly, in a
most emphatic manner, that such a
thought has never entered Mrs. Booths
or my own mind since the inception Of
our organization, and that suchanevent
Is quite impracticable. The very forma-
tion Of the constitution framed in our
recent grand field council would utterly
preclude the possibility of such a con-
summation. The essential and prime
differences between the two movements
Of themselves would also forbid such a
union.
"Why should we amalgamate? If
we were failure we might consider
such a step, but on all hands it is admit
ted that our position, progress andpros-
poets have been and are of the most
phenomenally cheering and successful
character"

Il All That Prevented Mckinley From
OnerlnE Him Cabinet Place.
CANTON, Ohio. Feb. 2s--1n the talk
about the New York appointments that
has appeared in the newspapers from
DAY to day since the election, It seems
to have escaped general notice that
Hon. WhItelaw Reid, OF the Tribune,
has always been great fayorite of
the President-elect for some suitable
and conspicuous recognition. Mr..
Reid's selection for a place In the cabI-
net, or a foreign embassy, at his choice,
has been until recently under Major
NcRinley's careful and most cordial
confederation, The relations between
tIe two gentlemen hove long been
hind and intimate and no one regrets
Mr Reld's lll.health more than the
President -elect or is so anxious for MS
complete recovery.
But both Mr. Reid and his friends
think Il would be imprudent for him
TO risk the confinement Of official work
until his health Is absolutely restored
and hence have advised against that
COURSE. Major Mckinley, within the
last fortnight, finally and reluctantly,
gave UP the idea Of appointing MI.
Reid and thereupon wrote him let
ter, expressive both Of his regard ana
appreciation and OF the deep reBret
that for the present at least, he could
not have the advantage OF his associa-
Hon and cooperation In tho atlairs OF
the administration.
