Entcr the Cabinet.
Washington, Jan. lathe Associated
Press is able TO positively announce that
Mr.. Mckinley has rendered the state
portfolio to Senator Sherman. of Ohio,
and that the distinguished statesman
has accepted and will be the premier
of the incoming administration.
Senator Sherman declines 10 make
any statement relative to the important
announcement. but this in no wise mill
itates against it's authenticity. The
definite announcement that Mr.. Nc
Klnley has selected the keystone OF the
arch upon which his administration will
rest recalls the fact that il was Mr..
Cieyeland's selection of Judge Walter
q. Gresham for secretary OF state OF the
present administration which was first
given TO the public.
As secretary OF state Senator Sher-
man will round out brilliant public
career which began AZ years ago in the
house OF representatives, and will bring
to that exalted post ripe experience
which covered four terms In the lower
branch of congress and six terms in the
y
head of the treasury department under
Nh. Hayes administration.
II has been known for some time,
however, that Mr.. Hanna's ambition
was seat in the United States senate.
The retirement Of 0hio's veteran SEN
ptor to accept the position of premier
in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet will probably
open the way to qualification of this
ambition. Senator Sherman's term as
senator would expire two years hence,
March 4. 1899. The vacancy created by
Senator Sherman's retirement will be
filed by appointment by Gov. Bushnell.
pending the assembling of the Ohio
legislature in January. 1898. 1t is nm
lerstood he will appoint Mr.. Hanna to
the vacancy in the senate when Senator
Sherman steps out TO assume the grave
responsibilities connected with the
head of the department OF state.

THE MEDICINE CLOSET.

keep ice or milk or other foods during

A poison guard may be had in the
drug stores. 1t consists of q little
wooden ball with chain attached. 1t

the fact that the contents are danger
Gus, or only to be used externally.
Do not keep all the hnlf-used medi-
cines remaining from what the doctor
has ordered at various times. A few
OF them might be of service in the flu
ture, but the majority were good only
for the occasion when ordered, and the
closet will soon be filed TO OVERLOOKING
with them.
Some Arrangement for the heating OF
food at night is serviccable during ill
ness. There are various appliances
made to fit over gas jet or on the CHM
ney of an oil lamp, and upon which a
cup or other vessel may be heated. In
place of these small alcohol pocket
stove can be procured.
No dangerous medicine should be
placed in the medicine closet, except
under special precautions. Bottles con-
tanning laudanum or paragoric, bella
donna and other poison, or any fluids
to be used externally should never be
placed here unless the bottles contain
ing them are of such nature that they
may be recognized readily even in the
