Gov. Clough received good news from

the members of the Minnesota organi-

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Gen. Zurlinden,
military governor of Paris, has accept
ed the ministry of war in succession to
M. CaVajgnac, resigned. Gen. Zurlin-
den was a member of the Ribot cabi-
net, which went out Of office Oct. 2S
1895.
Gen. Zurlinden's decision to accept
the war portfolio was communicated to
President Faure. After long confer
ences with the minister of the interior
M. Brisson, and the minister of justice,
NJ. Sarrien, Gen. Zurlinden was inter-
Viewed by a newspaper representative
The minister of justice, the general
said, asked for the Dreyfus record
When this were given him, he added
he would study the documents careful
ly and inform himself thoroughly re-
garding the case before discussing it
with the cabinet.
The crisis In the cabinet is not vet
regarded as definitely settled. Both
NJ. Brisson and M. Cavaignac are be-
lieved to be playing for the presidency
Of the republic, and 1t Is thought that
Brisson Is growing Jealous of Cavaig-
macs increasing popularity.
There is rumor tonight that Gen.
Zurlinden, the new minister for war,
will advocate mere annulling of the
Dreyfus judgment and sentence, as g.
safer way out Of the imbroglio, rather
than a new trial involving all sorts Of
awkward revelations. Whether this be
true or not, there is much speculation
as to how President Faure induced
Gen. Zurlinden to accept the war port
folio after twice refusing it.

to fall shortly, before the combined at
tack of our army and navy. The main

Lad u DEMONSTRATING Hin.

Railroad officials here are blua oves
news received from Virginia. Two
months ago man fell on the platform
of a train about five miles out o;. this
city. His heel caught in G. crack and
his hip was dislocated by tbs fall.
Three surgeons examined him, includ-
ing the company's surgeon, and all de-
clared that the man would be cripple
for life. The man was paid $4,000 and
his lawyers fees. In addition to this
he was furnished with baggage car
and transportation for his lawyer and
nurse to go with him to Chicago.
The railroad officials felt that they had
made cheap settlement. The other
day man fell on platform on the
Norfolk and Western in Virginia and
worked the same old story of the dis
located hip. But he had been seen on
the previous day hunting for a place
to catch his heel. a travelling man
was present and recognized him as the
man who had been paid by the Indian
apolis road. An investigation revealed
that the man was professional con-
tortionist and could dislocate any part
of his body without pain. He has
swindled several roads. s.-Indianapolis

Tie Queens Precious Toys.

At Osborne, during the festive sea-
son, the little folks are always allowed
to play with those toys that once be-
longed to the queens children, but the
nurses are held responsible for their
safe keeping. There are the wheel
barrows, rakes, spades, hoes, dolls,
dolls houses and mechanical animals
which belonged to the Empress Fred
erick, the Prince of Wales and their
brothers and sisters, and, needless to
say, the most extreme care is taken
that none of these precious toys. are
broken. Apropos of dolls houses,
perhaps the finest specimen in these
isles OF ours is that possessed by the
little Lady Victoria BentinCk, the
Duchess of Portland's little daughter.
The doors open and shut. the stairs

A Man Fasts for Twenty Years.

There is a Jew, native of Litsk.
Russia, living in the East End Of
London, who has tasted for twenty
years, his sole daily diet during that
time consisting of six pints of milk,
three pints of beer, and half pound
of Demerara sugar. His name is
Morris Fox. He is an excellent Tai
mudical scholar, and in spite of his
frugal meals, he is the most healthy,
intelligent and wideawake person in
his quarter. He is now over forty.
At the age of seventeen, it appears,
he caught some lingering fever, which
shattered his constitution ard entirely
destroyed his digestive organs. He
took many kinds of treatment from
many physicians, until his stomach
became Injured to all medicine. At
the Kieff Hospital they vainly tried to
cure him by sponging and electrolysis;
at Vienna his physicians included the
well-known Drs. Albert and North
nagel. His treatment at Carlsbad was
failure; then he travelled to Konigs-
berg: when the physicians decided
that he must live on sugar, milk and
beer. He adopted their prescription,
and soon regained normal health. For
twenty years no solid food has passed
his mouth.
