Washington, D. c.. Sept. 22.-The an
nouncement of the death yesterday at
his home in Wilmington. \. c., of Wal
ter u. Faison formerly solicitor of the
Department of State, was received with
genuine sorrow by one and all of his late
associates in the State Department. Mr.
Faison's - record as an official was a
bright one, and up to the date of his
retirement last spring was pointed out
as q triumph of the fullest application
of the civil service reform principle. He
was appointed in 1856 from North Caro-
lima, after a competitive examination, to
a 81, 200 clerkship in the consular bureau.
His promotion was rapid and Secretary
Gresham made him chief of that bureau,
which me administered with signal abil-
ity. Upon the resignation of Solicitor
Dabney, Mr.. Faison was promptly in-
stalled in the solicitors office by Secre-
tary Olney, who had keen appreciation
of his legal abilities.

A Peculiar Case.

For some time past DR.. F. c. Werner
has been in attendance npon a Young
girl in the Fifth ward who has mani
tested strange propensity for sleeping
souudly and almost without cessation.
The person in question is Miss Rose
JOda, aged IA years, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Joda, who reside at 754
North Church street. It is over five
weeks since she first fell into this
seeming trance, and it is only by re-
sorting to the most vigorous measures
that she is awakened sufficiently lono
to partake of nourishment. During
these brief periods the girls mind
seems to be blank and she shows no
inclination to act as the average mortal
should. This incessant sleeping is
supposed to be the result Of an attack
Of pneumonia which the patient suf-
fered previously. Cases like the one
alluded to are not without precedent
and have ended in no particular harm.
Death, however, is possible to occur
from exhaustion.

WHO WILL BE MAYOR?


Republican Convention Called-Interest
in Spring Election Awakening.
The call for the Republican city con-
ventlon to be held Saturday evening
Will be found elsewhere. The Demo
Gratis will no doubt issue their call in
this weeks Gazette and it is said the
convention will be held the same day.
Both parties have been backward in
issuing calls this year, the Democrats
evidently fearing to take the initiative
as heretofore One good result of this
lateness will be short campaign,
which it is hoped may also be clean.
AS to who will be the next mayor,
considerable gossip is beginning to
manifest itself. In this connection a
peculiar condition of affairs exists this
spring. The silver wing of the Demo
cracy controls the organization here
and will no doubt dictate the nomina-
tions for city officials. Whether they
Will be governed by the same feeling
existing last fall remains to be seen.
We have heard not a few siIverltes say
they would never again support gold
Democrat, and vice versa. The gold
wing of the party has not shown any
life regarding nominations and it is not
likely they will interest themselves
separately in the matter. Several of
their prominent members have been
mentioned as available timber for the
mayOralty nomination, among them
being ex Mayor W. F. Voss, Senator A.
Solliday, exMayor Fred Kusel, John
Habheqger and Ulrich Habhegger-
excellent material, to be sure Per-
haps none of them, however, are can
didates IN the true sense-in fact, the
first two haYe informed us to that eff
feet. The Weltbuerger last week ad
vocated the denomination Of Edward
Rack for mayor and f. A. Kruger for
treasurer, and it would not be surprIs-
ing if that were the outcome. Mr..
Rack, on the other hand, is in pecu-
liar position on account of taking no
side in the campaign last fall, although
it is generally understood he was gold
standard advocate. If the silverites
stick TO their oft-repeated resolution to
exclude such from their party councils,
their choice will fall sewhere. 1t is
rumored that the leaders are now con-
centrating their persuasive powers on
John g. Conway. If Mr.. Conway
should accept be would no doubt proye
a very formidable candidate.
On the Republican side gossip over
the mayoralty has associated the nom
ination with several citizens suitably
fitted to serve. Prominent among these
are Franz e Woodard and Alderman
S. NJ. Eaton, either one of whom, it is
thought, would have an excellent
chance of election. Elk mayor Moak's
name has also been heard, as we'll as
that of Alderman A. E. Needham. The
latter, we understand, has said he de-
slres to retire from official life, and as
to the formers position we are unable
to state, his absence at Madison pre-.
venting bis active participation Ill
home politics.

THE NEW WAVE.
Physical Culture, Pure Food and Drink
Mark a New Era,

Physical Culture, Pure Food and Drink
Mark New Era.
A great popular pure drink and pure
food wave IS just now passing over the
country, and it seems to have come to-
stay.
More attention is being given to arti-
cles of food and drink than heretofore,
and people are slowly learning that
, good health cannot be preserved under
the present civilization unless the hab-
| It's are Of more natural character.
! The apparently harmless coffee habit
now numbers its victims by the thous-
ands producing obstinate bowel
! troubles that will not abate except by
leaving of the habit.
! 1t is not alwayt an easy task to drop
lifetime habit.
One of the late discoveries is a pure
food coffee, made entirely Of grains
and possessing great fattening proper
ties. while it brews the exact deep seal
brown color of Mocha, and when cream
is added it takes the rich golden brown,
of old Java. The taste is pungent and
piquant, quite similar to coffee: in fact
| SO close to it in aroma and flavor that
the coffee drinker, who has had trouble
with coffee, will freely take on the new
grain drink when he discovers that it
agrees with him perfectly, and its
heathful properties quickly dismiss
his former ails.
The great feature of this new and ra-
tional method of disInissing sickness
is 10 avoid drugging oneself and quit
hurtGul habits, taking in only what is
known to be pure natural food such as
the Creator intended for mans subsist-
ence.
DR.. Wesley A. Dunn, editor of Med
ical Current" Marshall Field building,
/ Chicago says: II am highly pleased
with it.'
Nothing is more to the point than
this new foodd rink made from grains.
1t bears the name Postum Cereal."
and is made by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Linn, Battle Creek, Mich.
It claims to be direct and quick pro-
ducer of new blood corpuscles by the
natural method ofgood nourishing food
taken in liquid form. 1t is quite
bit less expensive than coffee and alto
gether its use appeals to ones common
sense.

Rise of a Watertown Boy.

D. G. Cheney, of Milwaukee, super
intendent of the La Crosse division of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
rail way, was in town Saturday looking
after business matters. While here he
paid THE REPUBLICAN office friendly
call and could not desist from "stick-
ing'' few lines of type. just to show
that be has pot forgotten the lease. "
Mr.. Cheney was disciple of the ''art
preservative of arts" in this Office
twenty-fiv years ago. He succeeded
in resurrecting from our archives an
old city directory of Watertown pub
lished in 1872, and took great pride in
stating that the entire publication
from composition to presswork, was
the product of his hands. The style Of
printing then was considerably differ
ent from nowadays. but then, other
matters and persons have changed
too, and Mr.. Cheney must be classed
among them. From printers "deyil'
to railway magnate is quite transition,
to be sure.
