Whisky in His Lungs.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Dec. 26.-William
Henry, living in the mountains ten miles
east of here, had a singular Christmas ex-
perience. He came here last Friday, and
among the things he purchased for Christ
mas was jug Of whisky. He was pretty
well intoxicated when he started home,
and an oecasionl sip at the jug as he walk
ed along added to his condition. At last
he was so drunk that he fell among some
bushes along a mountain path and was
unable 10 rise.
The night was cold, and he turned the
jug to his mouth for good drink. This
was the last that Henry knew. He fell
asleep with the jug at his mouth and the
whisky running down his throat strsn-
Cling him almost to death. He was found
by a searching party yesterday and taken
home. The doctor found that some
whisky had gone into Henry's windpipe.
Henry coughs by the hour and his sp 9

Letter Turning a Trick On Oats.

CHICAGO, December 26-Fridsy, which
will witness the close Of the great Letter
deal in wheat on the Board Of Trade. bids
fair to prove a memorable day in the
trade. No great excitement is expected
in the wheat pit, but in oats a squeeze Of
shorts may occur.
'.Fhe wheat deal Of my son has brought
10 the farmers of the United States ten or
fifteen cents more for their whea. than if
he had not gone into it, L. 4. Letter said
today in talking Of the great battle be-
tween Joe Letter on the one side and the
elevator companies on the other.
= son has been the benefactor of the
agricultural industries OF the country TO
that extent. The seller is now debating
the price of his product, not the purchaser.
Chicago makes the market price Of wheat,
not Liverpool And the local influences
which have been so long for constantly
lower prices, have ceased to control Chi
cago markets"
The first purchases of wheat by Joseph
Letter were made in July last, at sixty
four cents. The price for real wheat,
ninety-nine cents and one dollar for sew
eral days. This makes te.al advance
since July Of twenty-five cents. Letter,
Sr., gives 10 the ordinary course of the
markets credit for between twenty and
twenty We cents ofthe rise. The remain
der he attributes to the substantial sup
port given TO prices by Letter, Jr., during
the last six months. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Letter has been turning trick on the
trade in oats, while every body was
watching wheat. For weeks the oats pit
has been practically deserted.
Last week there was a disagreeable sur
prise to the men who had sold 5000, 600
bushels of oats for December delivery
when they learned that no oats were being
delivered. Then they awoke to the fact
that in all the Chicago elevators oats
measured but 95O,OO0 bushels of the con-
tract grades.
| Itwas Wednesday when the discovery
was made. The price of December oats
was then 30s. on Friday the market
closed at De. A cent advance in oats is as
| good as four or five cents in wheat. It is
too late to rush in a supply to meet the
calls which will be made for the grain at
the close of business on Friday. Those
who have not delivered the grain accord
ing to contract will be called upon 10 set
tie at the closing prices. The situation
has all the elements of a squeeze.

JOSIAH QUINeY is again Mayor of

carries out the rule that whenever we
elect Republican President, in the
year following Boston elects Demo-
cratic Mayor. The rule has never been

More About Changes in the Civil Service
Rules.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 23.-President Nc
Kinley will, according to trustworthy
though unofficial information, shortly
meet the objections that exist, in and out
of Congress, against present conditions in
the civil service, by issuing an executive
order making material notifications in
the blanket extensions of the civil service
rules made by Mr.. Cleveland during his
last year in Office. While the opposition
on the part of republicans in Congress
doubtless was a factor in this matter, it is
well known that the president has had it
in mind ever since his election. 1t will
be remembered that he said in his annual
message. There are places now in the
classified service which ought to be ex
empt and Others not classified, may prop
erly be included. ! shall not hesitate to
exempt cases which think have been
improperly included in the classified ser
vice" Just when this order will be
issued or the full extent of the mOdifica-
ton has not been fully determined, but
it will not be surprising should the order
be issued before the reassembling of
Congress, on Jan. ).

THE Republican State Convention
has been called to meet at Harrisburg
on Thursday, June ,, '9S. While the
date fixed is a little earlier than usual,
there is no reason why il should not

June is usually the most pleasant
month Of the year. While it is freely
predicted that this will be a red-hot
