UNLESS THERE IS A HITCH
REWARD FOR MANY YEARS or
ACTIVE POLITICAL WORK.
Gary Owns Valuable Cotton Duck
Mills, is Interested in Several
Big Corporations, and is Now
President of Gas Company and
Vice President of the Citizens
National Bank-A Corporation
Man Through and Through.

Canton, O., Feb 1.-TWO important
pieces of political news were developed
here today. One is that James A.
Gary of Baltimore has been offered and
has accepted a position in Major Nc
Kinley's cabinet. The other is that J..
J. McCook of New York, who is being
favorably considered by Major McKin-
ley in connection with a cabinet posi-
ton, has not been offered a portfolio,
nor has Mr.. McCook been definitely de-
termined upon for a cabinet position,
and if he does become a member of the
cabinet it is absolutely uncertain that
he will be the attorney general or that
Mr. Gary will be made postmaster gen
eral. This is upon high authority.
When the final cast of the cabinet is
made, it may seem we'll to the presi-
dent-elect to transfer Ex-Governor
Long, whom he had fixed upon for the
navy department. to the department of
justice, leaving the navy portfolio for
a New York man or for Mr.. Gary in
case it is decided to give New York
the postofiice department.
Mr. Gary has been an active Re-
publican worker in Maryland for more
than 10 years, and for a long period
was the member of the Republican ma
tional committee from this state. Ma
jor Mckinley has known him for 10
years. and has long deemed him one of
the foremost business men of the
south.
Major Mckinley is improving rapidly
in health, but adheres strictly to his
resolution to see no visitors save those
who come by appointment. The only
caller he has received this week was

in Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 19.-For the first
time in the history of the denomina-
ton, the Seventh-Day Adventists are
holding their biennial conference in the
middle west. it being convened at Col
lege View. where is located one COL
lege, near this city. These conven-
tions are international in character, and
are made up of representatives, not
only from every state in the Union, but
from nearly every foreign country of
the globe. Sitting upon the platform
one can look down into the faces of
men who have come directly from Aus
tralia- South Africa, South America,
Mexico and the islands of the sea.
For several days past those who were
present have been attending an insti-
tute in which instruction is given on
Bible themes. best methods of labor,
and plans of work. but the conference
gathering proper held its first session

ports from the various representatives.

MT Daniel then proceeded to show
that the lessons of the revolution ought
not to be forgotten, and that the peo-
pie of the United States should be wary
OF any overtures made to them by her
traditional enemy. Great Britain,
speaking though they do, the same
tongue. Of all the powers. England
was the one whom the United States
should refuse to blindly follow 1t
would be sorry day for this nation
when its hands were tied by an agree
ment that gave Great Britain all she
asked, and compelled us to keep quiet
in the face of the policy that that ma
ton will continue to follow, regardless
OF any solemn pledge she may give.
During the course of an analytical
criticism of the provisions of the treaty
MIR. Daniel said the members of the SUI
preme court ought not to be desig-
mated as members of the arbitration
tribunal. He favored the insertion by
an amendment that left the member
ship of that court TO the president by
and with the advice and consent of the
senate.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the mem
bers of the supreme court had already
been confirmed by the senate and each
member of that body was known to the
senate.
That may be true" replied Mr..
bers of that court. and we know them
all to be honorable men; but this treaty
is for the future. We do not know
who may be the members of this tri-
bunal in the future. All our presidents
have been good men and have ap-
pointed good men, but we do not know
that all our coming presidents will be
good men, or that they will be actu-
ated by the same motives that have
actuated those who have gone before"
The third and last set speech of
the day was made by Senator Lind
say of Kentucky, who urged the ratifi-
cation of the convention and action to-
day. He spoke for almost an hour,
devOting the most of his time to a
refutation of the legal arguments ad-
vanced by Senator Daniel and others
who have during this debate taken
the ground that the senate was asked
to yield up its prerogatives as a part
of the treaty making power.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lindsay's
remarks, a motion to postpone was
voted down.
Another effort was then made to Sc
cure a final vote, but this was met by
motions TO adjourn which were inva-
riably voted down or developed the
absence of a quorum.
Mr.. Sherman pleaded in vain for an
agreement for a day and hour upon
which the vote might be taken. Every
suggestion of his was objected to and
one roll call succeeded another until
finally it was impossible to secure a
quorum. A motion was then made ana
carried, instructing the sergeant-at-
arms to arrest absent senators and
bring them before the bar of the sem
ate. While the sergeant-at-arms was
his warrant, the friends of
the treaty held a consultation which
in a motion to adjourn by Mr..
Gallinger. This prevailed and without |
any notice on the part of Mr.. Sherman |
that he would again call up the treaty, |
the senate at s o'clock adjourned.
1t is not improbable however, that |
Mr.. Sherman may make one more eff |
fort to secure a vote.

The ..Rav, in a Damage Suit.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Roentgen's ray
figures prominently in the suit for
damages which was commenced today
in the circuit by John NJ. Mallett, a
young boxer of local reputation. He
seeks $4,000 damages from DR.. o. L..
Schmidt, a recognized expert, in the
operation of extracting a bullet located
by the rays aid. Mallett had been car
rying the bullet in his breast for two
years, and although it did not trouble
him, his employer. a physician, ad-
vised him to undergo the operation.
He alleges that Schmidt kept his body
exposed 35 minutes to the rays; that
he suffered much, while the bullet was
not extracted, and a sore on his breast
made a hole two inches in diameter
which will probably never heal en-

WASHINGTON'S BIR THDAY.
EXERCISES HELD IN THE PUB

They Were All of the Same General
Nature and All Were Interesting
"A Sample Programme.

Exercises in honor of Washington 5

schools yesterday. They were of the

were interesting.

corridor a very delightful programme
to the many friends who had on the
same afternoon brought books for the
school library.
No prosy essays nor long recitations
had a place on the programme, but
stirring music, patriotic decorations.
and colonial costumes were abundant.
The Anvil Chorus" 1.-The Minuet"
and the Hoop Drill may be men,
toned as the most striking numbers
of the afternoon, although Miss Lily
Pye and Lewis Sowles. who each sang
a solo, did very creditably. The latter
sang ''Tenting Tonight" and was as
sisted by the chorus of so voices. and
the song was made more effective by
the presentation of a scene not unlike
that of Valley Forge. Several boys
from the rooms of the Misses Garfield
and Miss Graham took part in this.
The picture represented soldiers, in
soiled uniforms, with Old-fashioned
guns and swords lying down for the
night.
The anvil Chorus was first on the
programme and was executed we'll for
school children. Besides the anvils and
the voices there was an orchestra of
several pieces. including the two pianos
which were played by Lola Cochler and
Lizzie Thomas. Added to this was a
band of boys and girls, drilled in the

who were conducted by Master High
Sharp to a small platform, looked on
as interested spectators of the beauti-
full scene.
To Miss Mckenzie belongs the credit
of the beautiful hoop drill in which her
girls did their work with surprising
facility.
George Soffe, as messenger boy made
quite a hit in the announcement of
the arrival of the Washington party.
He read what he claimed to be a 'ele-
gram from Washington who stated his
purpose in visiting the Oquirrh school
on this particular day.

Paine's celery compound, upon which
so much praise has been bestowed,

the highest positions unhesitatingly
endorse, is still within the reach of the
humblest family in the land.

Washington, Feb. 19.-When the SEN
ate adjourned at s o'clock tonight,
after q secret session of seven and a
half hours, it was pparent to the most
sanguine friends of the general arhi-
tration treaty with Great Britain that
vote could not be secured at this ses-
sion. The fact that a motion TO post
pone until March had been defeated
by a vote of "a TO 20, afforded no sat
isfaction. On the contrary, it empha-
sized the fact that those lighting the
treaty intended there should be aftrma-
tive action of no kind
The debate proceeded in regular order
until O'Clock, when senators, tired
of the discussion and weary in BODY,
left the chamber and proceeded to their
homes. For two hours longer there
was a dreary succession of yea and
nay calls and calls of the senate for the
purpose of securing a quorum, which
was no sooner found TO be present
than it would disappear.
Filibustering was INDUCED in in the
old-time vigor, and when after two
hours of this sort of thing the call of
the senate failed to establish the pres
ence of a quorum, motion to adjourn
prevailed and the trteay was left hang
ing in the air.
AT the close OF yesterday SeSSiOh,
Mr.. Sherman gave notice that he should
today ask the senate to sit it out. The
contest began as soon as the doors
were closed, with considerable energy
on the part of the friends of the treaty.
but they soon wearied in their struggle
with the inevitable. Messrs. Lodge and
Frye spoke briefly, but with great
deal of spirit, urging that the vote-be
taken this afternoon. Mr.. Lodge said
there could be no doubt but that every
senator had made up his mind how he
would vote, and any further delay
would be but a waste of time, and an
exhibition of a desire to prevent action
of any sort.
The speech of Senator Lodge was an
effort to shell the bushes and it was
successful in driving into the open the
enemies of the treaty.
He. was at once confronted with
retort from Senator Teller and Senator
Stewart to the effect that no vote could
be had. Mr.. Teller then took the floor
and spoke for an hour against the
treaty and against present action.

The incalculable amount of good that
Paine's celery compound is doing in
making sick and even despairing peo-
pie well, should compel the attention
of every judicious person who is out
of health.
The underlying cause of nervous de-
bility, apparent in headaches, dyspep-
STA, sleeplessness and neuralgia. is

So long as the blood is pale, watery
and hampered by bad humors the
nerves cannot assimilate from it prop

OLD ABE, THE WAR EAGLE.
A Bird of Battle With Charmed
Life That Was Carried by the
Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers.
BY VIRGINIA FRENCH.

The emperors of old Rome used to
have the figure of an eagle in silver
borne aloft before their armies, but in
our late civil war one regiment carried
live eagle. a bald-head, again and
again into battle. That regiment was
the Eighth Wisconsin volunteers, and
the bird was the special property of
Company c. They bought him at the
beginning of the war, and. till the end
OF the war, his place was next in rank
TO that of the regimental flag. The men
named him Old Abe, and swore him
into the United States service a cere-
mony that consisted of putting around
his neck red, blue and white ribbons,
and decorating his breast with a ro-
settle of the same. Being now a ma
tional bird, he was furnished at state
expense with new perch, which was
used throughout the war, and worn
and battered with service, is still pre-
served by Wisconsin as an army relic
An eagle bearer was appointed. Com
pany c was the regimental color COM
pany, and when the regiment formed
in line the eagle was always on the
left of the color bearer. Old Abe was in
all the regiments battles. He had
some of his tail feathers shot away
once, but he never lost drop of blood
and. more than that neither color
bearer nor eagle bearer in this regi-
ment was ever shot, so that the SOL
diers said that Old Abe led a charmed
life, and that ne cast a spell of pro-
lection around those two men who
were his particular friends. He would
grow greatly excited in battle, and
scream and flap his wings continually;
he would also behave in this vain
glorious way any time that his regi-
ment gave vent to cheers, but TO the
cheering of other regiments he paid no
attention. After he had been in the
army year he always gave heed to
Attention." he would fasten his eye
on the parade commander and note
time accurately. When parade was dis
missed he would drop his military airs
and stretch and flap his wings.
The soldiers We're so inspired with
by their bird that at the
battle of Corinth the confederate Cen
eral Price said he would rather cap
ture that eagle than to take the whole
regiment without him. But he was
never taken, and it was the boast of
his regiment that they never lost a
battle. though they saw such hard
service that nearly half of their orig
inal number lay, when the war
closed, in soldiers graves. The old
colonel of the regiment said that he
sincerely believed that the regiments
proud record owned not a little to the
eagle; he shared General Prices view
Of the case.
