Would Accept No Place In Mckinley
Cabinet Except Attorney General.
New YORK. Feb. 27.-The Advertiser
says this morning:
Colonel J. J. McCook, it is now
known positively, was requested by Pres
ident Elect Mckinley to become a member
Of the cabinet. This was some time ago,
and Colonel McCook gave qualified con.
sent. He expected to be asked to become
attorney general which would have fitted
in with his tastes and attainlnents, and he
would have accepted the Office.
On Tuesday OF this week he received 8
letter from MIR. Mckinley asking him tc
become secretary Of the interior. Colonel
McCook did not care to take that position
and promptly declined.
While General Stewart i. Moodford Is
still a candidate for the cabinet and has
tho backing of the regular Republican or
ganization of the state it is not believed
that be stands any chance of getting it. II

Tho ingenuity IF some insurance com
papies in devising ways and means for
eyading responsibility is cqualed by
nothing on earth. A claim was recently
made against an accident insurance com
pany for indemnity by a physician who
had met with an injury in a very pecul-

previous. but was partly recovered.
Whilc driving he was seized with Il
spasm, and great exhaustion ovorcame
him. he stopped his horse and proceed

of some powerful stimulant to which he
resorted in such emergencies. just as
he was about TO insert the needle his
horse started. The needle was driven
deep into the flesh, inficting a severe
and painful injury. He sued for indem-

Possibly many Of you suppose that
the umbrella is a modern invention, bat
it is not. Both as an emblem OF rank
and as a protection from sun and rain SC
is Of very ancient origin Though tho
materials used in the manufacture have
been constantly changing, the general
construction of the frame has been
changed but LITTLE in thousands of years.
Egyptian and Ninevite sculptures Of
tho earliest dates have many representa-
tions Of the umbrella, but it is invari-
ably in connection with royalty. 1t WINS
always held over the hcadc monarch
when be rode in his chariot and at his
great open air feasts. In some OF the
Hindoo sculptures Vishnu is represented
carrying an umbrella when going on q
visit to the internal regions.
We find frequent references to the
umbrella in the Greek poets, for it's use
was quite fashionable among women Of
high rank in Greece. IN the middle ages
it was an emblem Of rank in the church.
Umbrellas We're carried over cardinals
and bishops in solemn professions, and
al of the large cathedrals owned ono o.
more umbrellas that were kept for use
on such occasions.
The Chinese adopted the umbrella nj
a very early period in their history, and
for many centuries were the only people
that did not coniine its use to the king
and princes Of the blood. However, they
permitted only men of wealth and higl
position to carry them. The common
people protected themselves from tn,
elements by making their hats broad
/ and umbrella shaped.
From the time that they establishe,
their empire the Japanese have made
much use of the umbrella. 1t is als'
used throughout India, but it is a mari
Of rank in Burma and Siam. One o
the titles Of the king of Burma is Lor,
Of the Twenty-four Umbrellas. He use
white silk umbrellas, and no other per
son is permitted TO use q white one
The princes of the blood each have, q
a mark Of distinction, two gilt nm
brellas, with handles 10 or 10 feet il
length. The other officers of the stat
have but one.
