 If tho state board of health of Indiana carries out it's idea, there is going to be less splitting done in the state than there is at present The board is tho inveter ate enemy of the man who spits, and proposes to pursue him with all the weapons that law will permit it to use. It has issued circular letter to all rail- road officials in Indiana asking them to have ejected from their trains every man who spits--that is, if he spits per sistently after being warned not to,
 In it's circular the board explains that "spntumn is an excrement, full of the germs of Ia grippe. nasal catarrh and whole train of minor ills, 1t also adds che information that t'spitting is nasty and unnecessary abit" and that 'swom- en do not. v It explains that he state board of health will pass rule against splitting, which will have all the force of law if the railroads will only post it up and do their best to enforce it. With 9 stroke Of persistence the board adds:
 When tho rule is first published iD each county, and when posted ill public places this board will, of course, be loudly abused as foolish, impracticable and idiotic Attention then being gaili, cd, we will publish in every county seasous for the action. ''

 It's easy to be we'll dressed man nowadays. If one saves mp his old clothes until he aeeumulates few suits and then follows the example of his rich friends here, he will soon find out how they pose as bowling swells at comparatively little outlay.

WHAT THEY WILL DO.
Eutnrs Plans of the Retiring President
 and His Cabinet.

and His Cabinet.
 The out of office programme of the president and his cabinet is almost set tied. Cleveland after the 4th of March will take up the handling of the fortune he has accumulated in and out of office, and his secretary of war will be with him, as heretofore, in all his deals, hay. ing his eyes politically cast toward gu- bernatorial honors
 Both Secretary Olney and Attorney General Harmon will return to the law practices they have kept tethered safely during their time of service with Cleve. land. Secretary Herbert is said to be slated for good thing in connection with the Cramps projected ordnance plant.
 Carlisle is certain of the future, as dozen threads are i'll his hands, and any one will lead to a comfortable berth for life, It is thought he will become gen eral counsel for the Equitable Life As. surance company at $25, 900 a year.
 Morton need have no cares for the fu. tuFe. He was very wealthy before he entered Cleveland s cabinet, and, while he has added nothing to his fortune dur. ing his four years in the agricultural department he still has money enough to keep him comfortable for many times his natural term of years He will ga back to his farming in Nebraska
 Francis of the interior departments will return to the St. Louis wheat pit.
 Postmaster General Wilson, practical. ly without a fortune, will be deprived utterly of the support he has derived from his place ill the house, and, having been so long divorced from tho active practice of law. will be ill the worst po- sition of any of the cabinet people. Cleveland would like to do something for Wilson in judicial way, but op- portunity lacks He may accept an offer he now has under consideration to be. come president of tine Washington and laee university, the oldest institution of learning in the south.
