Same Old Complications Exist as 10 whom n

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 4.-MajOr Nc
Kinley expects to get to work on his
inaugural address, Monday morning.
if the Office seekers give him an op-
portunity.
Major Mckinley wants to get the
principal portfolios of the cabinet as
signed within a fortnight or three
weeks. but the cabinet will not be
completed till March /.
During Major McKinley's present
visit to Cleveland it is probable that
Mr.. Hanna will come to some decision
about his relation to the next admin
istration. though his movements will,
to considerable degree, be regulated
by Senator Shermans final determine
ton in respect to the cabinet.
The impression grows that Senator
Sherman's friends in many parts Of the
country are urging him to accept the
portfolio of state if it is offered him,
and it is true that some are suggest
ing to Major Mckinley that Senator
Sherman would make an excellent
secretary of state.
Mr.. Hanna apparently wants to go
to the Senate, but if Senator Sherman
does not go into the cabinet, the way
is firmly closed against him.
Senator Cullom of Illinois. Sunday,
spent two hours with Major Mckinley.
He said that the opinion prevailed among
the senators that Mr.. Sherman, while
perhaps not quite willing to go into the
cabinet. seemed to regard the proposition
with less disfavor than formerly. Sena-
tor Cullom said he himself was not to be
considered a cabinet possibility.
He discussed the Illinois senatorial con-
test and expressed the opinion that in the
event of prolonged and bitter contest
Inc prize might fall to Gov. Tanner him
self.
Senator Cullom said the impression ex-
States that Mr.. Allison would not be in
clined to accept a cabinet portfolio, but
he remarked that he hoped that the Iowa
senator could be prevailed upok to be-
come secretary of the treasury.
If neither Mr.. Allison nor Mr.. Dingley
should be in Major McKinley's cabinet,
a new quantity for secretary of the treas
ury would have to be found. and the
chances were that the President-elect
would treat the country to something Of
a surprise. 7,a
a good deal of speculation about the
New England members of the cabinet has
been heard in the last day or two, both
here and at Canton.
If Mr.. Dingley remains at the head OF
the committee on ways and means. an
other man from his section of the coun-
try will be invited to accept cabinet po-
Sition. The names of Senators Proctor
of Vermont. and Lodge of Massachusetts,.
are discussed. and the selection of either
by Major Mckinley would no surprise.
If the secretary of state is not chosen
from New York. it may be set down as
certain that Cornelius N Bliss may be
set down for a place in the cabinet.

Gardiner, Jan. 4.-(SpeciaD. 1.-The polo
season opened here, this evening. with
a victory for Gardiner over Augusta
by a score of to 3, that made the
large audience shout for joy. 1t was
an exciting game from the start. and
the Gardiner team played strong, re-
lentless game that led their worthy
opponents from the Capital city hot
pace that was too much for them.
Everybody was there, and the ladies
in large numbers occupied the spacious
balconies, and, as ladies usually are,
were deeply interested in the proceed
ings.
The game was a rough as well as an
exciting one. There were seven fouls
Augusta, 4; Gardiner, 8; each losing
one goal to it's credit, as an evidence OF
too much zeal exhibited in forbidden
direction. .-.

game, got into difficulty that resulted

cage. Previous to it, the game had
been growing rougher and rougher I'M
til it was evident that something or

fore long.
The playing of the home team was
decidedly gratifying and they put up a
game beyond the most sanguine hopes
of their admirers. They passed well,
and their offensive work was decidedly
brisk MCGOWAN made some great
rushes, once or twice taking the ball
the length of the long hall, up to the
where Hackett did great work with %
stops to his credit.
AS the score signifies, the game was
close. and it was "anybody's' until the
finish. With Augusta ahead well along
into the second period, Gardiner rushed
things, and with four straight goals,
made a sharp move for a lead that was
not touched until Molumpy's beautiful
drive from the centre of the floor, left
the score to 3 in favor of Gardiner.
The cheering was deafening, and the
crowd are greatly pleased over the out
look.

Bank Failure Waves.
The failures of national banks have
come in waves. Between 1868 and 1872
there were only A failures, and their liza
bilities were small. But in the next six
years-1s73 to 1878, inclusive-there were
256 failures, with liabilities aggregating
about $4,000, 600. That was the panic
period of 1878.
Between 1873 and 1898 there were good
many failures aggregating 1926 in number.
But, as rule, their liabilities were small
The second great era of national bank
failures began in 1898. In that year 276
banks failed. In 1894 the number was 79
In 1896 1t was III, and in 1896, up to Oct.
l, 1t was 81.
twill thus be seen that the panic of 1873
resulted in the downfall of 256 banks,
while the panic OF 1898 led to the failure
Of 523. The two panics, therefore, led to
the failure Of much more than one. half of
all the failures in the third of a century
which has elapsed since the law went into
forcs, and to perhaps two-thirds of all the
liabilities and losses

A Little Child's Trust.

The beautiful trust Of fchildhood often
affords the greatest encouragement to
older Christians. A lady who lived
with her husband on West Indian
plantation had daughter little child,
who became afflicted with severe dis
ease of the eyes. All The doctors said
she puSt he taken to England, so that
if necessary an operation might be
performed so the mother started for
England. The doctors there found
too much time had been lost, and moth
ing could be done except to try TO re-
lieve the poor child's intense agony.
They had all given her up, and told the
mother she could only live Il few days,
and yet week after week passed anu
the Child fingered. The doctor said it
was wonderful case; Il regular fight
against death no hope, terrible agony,
aud yet though utterly exhausted, the
child seemed utterly unable to die.
One night the mother, watching beside
her bed, heard waiting sob. Tender
ly leaning over her she said, "What is
it, my precious one" Is the pain too
terriIe?" "0h MOTHER" said the
child, II heard the doctor tell you |
was going TO die {; what is it to die? L
am afraid to die" With heart burst
ing with grief, the mother took the
child in her arms, and said, "My dar-
ling, dying is only going from mothers
arms into Jesus arms" "Oh," said
the child, 'lf that is all, am not afraid
10 die" The mother laid her back in
bed. All through the night she lay in
quiet sleep, and when daylight came,
and the mother bent over her, she saw
the little face lying calm and still, with
look of reponse, on the pillow, and
knew that her darling was indeed in
Jesus arms"
