GEN. SCHOFIELD
May be Asked TO Act as Adviser to
the President and Secretary Of
War.

Washington, D. c., April 9.-There
was an interesting story afoat during
the day to the effect that the President
had decided to designate Lieut.. Gen
eral j. NJ SchofieId, retired, as an
advisor to tbs executive, the Secre-
tary Of War, and the commanding gem
eral of the army, in the event Of hos.
tilities Cen. SchofielG has been very
actively engaged OF late in organizing
a mai slal volunteer reserve to DC
ready for duty at the call of the Presi-
dent. In connection with this matter
he has had consultations with the
President and the Secretary of War,
the latter Of whom has given his
hearty endorsement TO the scheme. By
reason Of his active experience in the
late war, the General would be well
qualified to suggest what steps might
be necessary and profitable in the con-
duct of the campaign Of the land
forces. There is an act of Congress
which prohibits the designation by
the President Of any retired officer to
active duty, but General Schofields
advice, however, would be much de-
sired

The House May Consider the President
Message--Not Generally Favored.
Washington, April 9.-There was a
rumor about the capitol to-day that the
House would consider the Presidents
message in secret session. It could
not be traced to any responsible
authority and was generally discred-
tied. The House leaders agree that a
secret session would not prevent the
proceedings leaking out. Tn only pos

Special to the Register.
Cincinnati, Ohio, April 9-Hon.
James Boyle, former Seer etary to Pres
ident Mckinley, while he was Cover
nor of Ohio, and now Consul TO Liver
pool, has been offered the position Of
Private Secretary to the President, a
position now occupied by Hon. j. Adj
Olson Porter of New England.
The announcement of the retirement
Of Captain Porter has rot been Off
cially announced, but it can be stated
positively that President Mckinley has
rendered the position TO Jimmie
Boyle, and has urged. him, to accept the
position as a personal favor to him.
Boyle is one Of President McKin-
ley's closest personal friends, and was
his chief personal lieutenant during
his campaign for Governor twice and
in the presidential campaign Of 1896.
He has been asked to hasten to Wash
ington at once.
The cause of this radical change is
said to be the fact that the present
Secretary recently caused a statement
to be sent out over the country that
the President desires peace meetings
held throughout the country, and that
petitions for peace should be sent TO
Congress.
This resulted in stirring up the
country, and protests against such a
step by the President literally rained
upon the White House.
There was a demand for explana-
ton and this resulted in demonstrating
the fact that the President and Secre
tary We're not in accord on the war
policy, and Porter was asked to resign.
He has complied.
Mr. Boyle will be invaluable to the
President, as his years Of newspaper
experience and long association with
the President admirably fit him for
the position should there be war with
Spain.
Mr.. Boyle is now in the Canary Is
lands and will take the first steamer
home. n..........s

of the Weavers' Union, in response TO
a letter to the mill treasurers, that the
mills capnot pay higher wages than
their competitors, and if they are IN
willing to work at current wages the
mills must necessarily remain idle.
While there is q loss to the mills by
reason Of idleness, MIR. Grape says the
loss would probably, be greater by
running the mills with a leader cost 10
per cent. higher than the market rate
of wages in other localities producing
similar fabrics. Il the opportunity TO
work is refused. the mills must again
accept the situation and close their
gates.

AT A CHINESE FUNERAL.
Elaborate Feast on the Grave for the
Spirits Nourfshmcnt.

The musical instruments are OF such
whimsical form as nearly to defy de
scription. though they resemble in nut
line our flute and violin; and the sound
which they produce being an lmost I'M
heard-of sound to us, we have no Eng
lish term that will adequately express
it, says L~ippincott's. Chinese music has
a sort of softness and melancholy in its
tones that sometimes pleases, but 1t is
so intolerably m%onotonous that if pro-
longed it becomes exceedingly i%rritat-
ing to the nerves. They have no semi
tones; indeed, they seem only To blow
into the instrument or twang strings at
random from h inspiration of the mo-
ment. However, it appears they have
notes, though their compositions are
not of much scientific value. You some
times near something like simple mel
ody, not unlike that whichruns through
the chants of savages.
The closing genes may be aid to o II
sist of four acts; that of the mourners
taking separate leave of their friend,

other in loud lamentations; hat of

and packing away the musical instru-
ments; that of the undertaken and the

traces, until only a mound marks the

menu that would include the substan-
tials and delicacies calculated to nour.
ish the spirit while it fingers about the

A writer in the London Spectator has
many interesting things to tell about
popular superstitions that survive in
Ireland. \ friend of his who lived in
Connemara states that the belief in
fairies and the mischievous little
people" is still very strong in that
region, and the idea of fairy possess
sion" is also common. This latter super
stition sometimes works disastrously,
as when a sick person is entirely neg
lected by his or her friends. If any
remonstrance is made, the answer is:
"Shure, it's not him Tor her, as the
case may be) AT all. It's only an ould
fairy" Even medicine ordered by the
doctor has not been given to the I'M
fortunate sufferer, on the ground that
"it 'ud do no good; it's not thin is in
it."
