THERE Is MIR. SMITH.

The latest Cabinet rumor from Canton is
that Hon. Charles Emory Smith, editor OF
the Philadelphia Press, and Mr.. Harrison S
minister TO Russia, is pretty likely to be
made Secretary OF the Treasury by Mr.
Mckinley And why not? Mr.. Smith is
Journalist from he ground up, as the archi-
tect would say, and he is by no means
a hard formation, as the miner
would say He has lived in Albany
as well as in Philadelphia, and although
both OF these towns are pretty sleepy, as
compared with the outside world, Mr.
Smith has learned thing or two in both
places. Although he never fought with Mr..
Platt at Albany or with Mr.. Quay at Phila-
delphia or even at Harrisburg, ne has
an exalted notion of the ability OF
both OF these gentlemen. He is an
orator as well as writer, and it is said
that the arduous duties Of chief financial
officer OF the coming administration would
not Brighten him a bit, as he has frequently
read publications of the Bureau Of Sta
ustics in vacation time.
The new Secretary of the Treasury might
as well be Charles Emory Smith as any
body, as it seems to US. His name is a
good name, and it is familiar.

the interest. Three seances are given

College Athletics.

Prof. Vauglia ns Of the University of Michl-
gan, says that the true object of athletics
is defeated by theJnodern system OF foot
ban teams according to which two
dozen or so men get all the training and
the remaining hpndreds merely look on.
That is perfectly true. 1t is mental and
moral, not physical, exercise that the stu
dents get on the bleachers.

service Of his Christian queen, he would
do even that.

What Mexicans Eat.

Different lands have different diets The
usual complaint made by Americans when
they go to Mexico is that the food is all
alike and so highly seasoned that if it were
different no one could tell it. No one who
has ever eaten at the table ofPresident Diaz
can make this complaint, for while the
cuisine is distinctly Mexican, the dinner is
so well selected that the most discriminate
ing taste can find nothing to which to OBJ
Iect.
Soup comes on, not clear, but with
thickening of roasted-pea flour and accom-
panied by larded toasted bread in place OF
crackers This is followed by the ever
present eggs and their accompaniment OF

TOUCHING THE THEATER HAT.

TOUCHING THE FHEATER HAT.
They are fighting the theater hat in
Chicago and fighting it hard, and the cru
sade has been taken up in Pittsburg.
Certain councilman first became inter
ested in this warfare and then may Ors fell
into the Scrimmage Some OF the ladies,
who submit that they do not buy $50 hats
without the definite purpose OF exhibit
ing them. are making a more or less Wig
orous objection TO this reform or alleged
reform. The anti-theater hat crusade has
not yet struck Washington, but il is nearly
due here. IL the District Commissioners do
not feel like acting originally in so import
ant a matter, and probably they do not,
we would suggest that in case anyone feels
impeIled to begin this work, the right of
petition is open, and every Senator and
Representative issupposed TO do the bidding

THE ONE DEAR NAME.

Well, most persons know by forty not to
look for much smooth sailin',
An I've learned to grin an bear it,
whatsoever is my doom
Though the wind, a maddened tyrant, is
the cringin' ocean frailin'
Till it spreads out white an gleamin'
as a cotton field in bloom.
Laugh when trouble strikes your pocket;
keep it hid if them who're dearer
Drift away from home forever, or are
fallen by the way;
People have their own great crosses, an
good fortune comes no nearer
For your cutlery from the housetops to the
rabble all the day.
But Teller, though well hardened, tryin'
all his trials to smother,
Now an then, when none is near him
will yet feel yearnin' pain,
While he wishes for minute on the bosom
of his mother
He could hide from alllife's worry as she
croons her songs again.
Will T. Hale.

Another prominent guest a the National
is Chief Justice Thomas Smith of the SUI
preme court OF New Mexico. Mr.. Smith is
the son OF Gov. Smith, who was the ex-
ecutivc of Virginia during the civil war.
Judge Smith is indignant over the bill
introduced in the Senate, which provides
for the appeal OF cases from the New
Mexico supreme court TO the court Of
appeals, instead of to the Supreme Court
OF the United States, as formerly. He
would not oppose the measure, he said,
IL it were not the result solely of political
scheming. 1t was framed, he claims.
merely to fit tire case OF four murderers
who, convicted in his court and in the
United States Supreme Court, neverthe-
less have hopes through their political
Influence, to escape in this manner 'There
is. however, little. fear Of the passage OF
the bill by the Senate.
In his experience as a Judge. Mr.. Smith
went on to say he has found that the
Mexicans, the original Inhabitants OF New
Mexico. are the most lawabiding OF citi-
zens. except in those Instances where they
have been perverted.throught the influence
of American desperadoes who swarm across
the borders from the neighboring States.
Altogether the lawlessness of New Mexico
is not nearly so great as people in the
East generally suppose, and the courts
have not much more crime to deal with
than those in the more thickly settled por-
tons Of the country.

ANY one in the lobby OF the Arlington

who, from their close resemblance, could
easily have passed for twins, in earnest

They were Representative Belknap and
Edward F Ross, q lawyer, both OF Chicago.
Representative Belknap is regular guest

in the city last night
When he preseited himself at the desk

DR.. 7. B. Kendrick, OF Shelbyville, Ind,
who is a guest at the shoreham, tells of
a UNIQUE contract entered into by five of
his fellow citizens,
These five gentlemen, who are all COM
paratively well-to-do, and unmarried, dned
together this last Christmas, and during
the course of the dinner bound themselves
TO he married before next Christmas.
The five are all lifelong chums and
when one announced that he was tired
of bachelorhood and had decided to marry
one after the other of his friends said that
he had come to the same decision.
So. in a spirit of fun, contract in regu-
lar form was drawn up and all of them
subscribed to it under oath.
By this contract each OF the five is
bound to appear at Christmas dinner
in 1s97 accompanied by his wife Any
one of them who breaks the contract is to
be present at the dinner bound, gagged and
attended by the sheriff. Besides this he
is to forfeit 800 to each of the others.
