Key concenIed IN a nina.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.


A Cineinatian but lately returned from
England tells of rather novel innova.
ticn in the way of locks and keys, or, to
speak more correctly, key.
Al a country place he visited he was
surprised to see his host unlock the gate
way Of the place with small key that
In some mysterious way was produced
from a large seal ring he wore. Yet the
ring was not large enough TO be con-
spicuos by reason OF its size or style. As
he expressed some surprise in the matter
his host said:
This is a master key. You see IL
slides under the set in the ring and occu-
pies no space whatever. 1t will unlock
every lock about the place, even my dress
ing-bag, my trunk, my bandbox and wine
cellar"
He was asked as to the arrangement in
general, whether one key, say of the but
Ter would unlock the front door.
Not at all, he replied. THE locks are
all arranged in suites. The butler can
unlock all the doors hat are in his de-
partment, and the housekeeper can unlock
the linen closets and other doors under
her supervision, but she cannot get into
the buffers domain. And in every other
department about the place, from end 10
end, every one has his or her key; but |
have only the master key. All of the doors
open to me. My valet can open my dress
ing-case and closets, but he cannot get
a bottle of wine. OF course, the arrange
ment in a seal ring is novel, but ii Is
very handy for me. In the first place. |
cannot lose il. and in the second place.
everything opens 10 me without asking a
question:"

Houston, Tex, March 6.--The Post will
in the morning print letter from United
States Senator Mills in which he forma.-
~ withdraws from the race for re-elec-
ton, which leaves the field to Gov. c. A.
Culberson In his letter, Mr.. Mills gives
as the principal reason for his with
drawal the recent action of the state exec

test for all persons desiring to partici-
pate in Democratic primaries In giving
his reasons for declining to be a candi-
date for reelection he denies that he has
deserted bimetalism and goes into his
record at length, concluding by saying:
Now that the great body of the CONNER
cial world has taken It's stand against sill

United States alone, by its independent
action, to restore the value of silver to
par with gold at 16 to l. I believe that
the United States can restore the demand
which they withdrew but do not believe
that they can restore the demand which
was Withdrawn by other countries when
they closed their minis against silver"

The Hartford Courant permits itself to
speak of the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis,
one of the most brilliant statesmen Of his
age and class in the state of washington,
as a ''popinjay" The Hon. James Hamil-

was born at an early age, and II he keeps
on growing he bids fair to be as wise at

these facts, the Hartford Courant has no
right, and should have no desire, TO apply
the word "popinjay' to a man honored by
some of the delegates from four states in
the Chicago convention, where he received
seventeen votes for the nomination for
Vice President. The Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis Is a many-colored mind, with equal
