It la Said Mckinley VIII AbroGatc fresi-
dent Cleveland's Civil Service Order.
CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The News Wash
ington special says: sit will be good
news to the ofiice-seekers that President
Mckinley is likely to suspend or revoke
the sweeping civil service order of
President Cleveland, whereby nearly all
the offices in the executive branch
of the government are taken into
the civil service list. Gen. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, who is one of McKinley's clos
est friends, and who has been one of
his stanchist and most capable politi-
cal supporters, said: Il believe that
President Mckinley will revoke or
suspend the sweeping order which
took all offices into the civil service
classification. i have been investi-
eating the matter thoroughly and
one of the ablest lawyers in this coun-
try has given me an opinion covering
the case. He says that an executive
can revok,. his own deeds, just as a
Legislative body can reconsider an act.
l is not probable that Cleveland will
change his mind on the civil service
order, but it is within the power to
revoke his own act. His successor
will not be bound by Cleveland's ac-
ton. Mckinley will be president and
will administer the executive branch
of the government in his own way. He
can revoke that odious order, and be-
lieve he will do so.'"

kain at once made the necessary con-
cession, but for some reason the father
of Miss Homes is not satisfied with the

General WlleS was colonel oil his regiment,
and while with Sherman, was gazetted
brigndier general.
The General lives the greater part of his
time in Hastead, kamsas, though he is
much in Windsor, New York, in both Of
which places he has business interests that
require his presence.
Some few years ago General Wiles was
attacked by illness, which came very near
proving fatal. Typhoid fever, followed by
inflammatory rheumatism and then pnr-
alysis, made Temporary wreck of the her-
culean frame, and in view of his advanced
age, his anxious friends believed that ho
was not long for this world. The following
is his own account of his illness:
"In the latter part of 1880, was take9
down with n severe attack of typhoid fever,
which confined me to my bed for two
months. Two months is long time to be
in bed, but was not to get up yet, for In
iammatory rheumatism seized me, and il
was worse than the typhoid, for it was
more painful. To add TO my trouble md
make It more interesting, the iuflnmmatory
rheumatism was followed by n stroke Of
paralysis, and almost totally lost the use
of my legs and arms, for could not walk
step and could not feed myself. Ono would
almost think that had reached the summit,
or perhaps l had better say the Lcpths OF
misery, but snch was not the case, for my
kidneys gave ont, and this seemed to he tho
last straw on the load that was to crush me.
"My friends al tiongbt would never re-
cover, and though the doctors came to see
me and prescribe, it was easy to see that
they were but trying to make nv pathway
to the grave little more casv. without ths
renotest hope of recovery, and looked for
ward to death with happiness.
"While in this frame of mind, was nd.
vised by friend to try DR.. Wtlirms' Pinh
pills, mud began the use of thcm. taking one
pill after each meal, and this continued
for ne week, e I'd began to fancy lperceived
improvement IN my condition. ] then In.
eased the dose to two after each meal
and ut the end OF the second week there
was no donLt but what Pink Pills were
making he Letter, so / kept on using them
according to di, ctions, and in three months
was well man"

elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the bl cd and restore shattered
