The record-union., 1897-03-03
Confirmed Too Late.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The con-
hrmation by the Senate yesterday of
thirty-one nominations of Postmasters
is conceded to be unavailing, so far as
about five-siXths of them are con-
cerned.
The obstacle is the fact that the filing
of bond is a requirement of the issu-
ing of the commissions. Most offices
are, of course, too far off to allow this
technicality to be overcome, and the
result is the leaving of about twenty
five of these Postoffices to Mr.. McKin-
ley'S diSDOSal

President elect Mckinley, once inside
the hotel, entered an elevator and went
to his apartments
Behind the carriage there followed
a score Of other conveyances with the
remainder of the Canton party and
Governor Bushnell's staff. They were
all safely landed in the hotel, and the
section of the house reserved for them
was guarded against the intrusion of
the crowd.
Major Mckinley received a few
friends informally and then sat down
to light lunch.
A large number of visitors called at
the hotel during the afternoon, but
Secretary Porter took decided stand,
and at once sent word that no cards
were to be received. This turned the
tide for time upon the Secretary him

Everything was found to the salts
faction of the President elect Some
members of the Executive Committee
who called about this time described
some of the details of the arrange
ment, but aside from these persons
everyone was refused access to Major
Mckinley during the afternoon.

A Chinaman died, leaving his prop

third thereof, and to Ding-bat, his
youngest, one-Rinth: thereof ~
When the property was ipventoried it
was found to consist Of nothing more or

those three heirs how to divid. the
property according to the terms of the
will without chopping up II elephants

value. Finally they applied to wise
neighbor, Suenpunk, for advice. Suen-
Junk had an elephant of his own. He

said to his guests: "I have mansion in
Waleswhich have never seen but which
am told is very fine. Every day dinner
Tor IL is set there and the carriage
drawn up at the door in case should

Scotch writer in Lippincott's, the rcIa-

man, for although almost all of the
Welsh towns are merely ten-hours'
ride from London, there is, perhaps, no
other country in the world lying SO close
to the center of civilization of which so
little is known to the outside world.

CHRISTMAS HAD NO TERROR3.
How She Positively Knew That He Loved
.. Her.
And it came to pass, says the Ba1ti-
moro News, that the meek-eyed youth
looked upon the glorious girl while her
checks were red and he spuke unto hcr,
saying: "Fairest creature u on c;.lth,
wilt lAou Ee my bcauteous LriGc?"
And the glorious girl made swift an
swer, saying: Not, o Reginald! not
until you have given me positive proof
that ou love me-" ...
And the face of the glorious girl was
even as the wild lily of the untrodden
forest for coyness, but her voice WAS
like unto the tax collectors for firmncss.
Ard the lnce!S-cyed youth looked him
far away into the hrrceforth, for Il great
fear was with him, and in his wailing
woe ne was fain to end all. .. e.,
And it came to PASS that in that dark
st moment great light dawned upon

And straightway the glorious girl
nestled close to his more OF less manly
