The Beef Inquiry.

The testimony that has been given
OF late must be satisfactory to General
Miles, for it confirms his statements in
a most convincing manner. The let
ter from the beef firm, claiming that
they should be awarded the contract
for supplying our troops with patent
ed process preserved beef, sample of
which had been tested at Tampa, is but
another link in the long chain of evil
dence which has been woven round the
commissary department of the army.
We do not think that any one who is
fair-minded in the matter can read the
statements made before the beef in
quiry court and not to be convinced
that at the outset OF the war our men
were supplied with food that was not
tit to eat. We also feel sure that the
great mass of the people appreciate
that General Miles has been fully vim
dicated, and that they now have right
to look to the President. The facts
are established. What will he do about
it?-Boston Herald.

Irritation of any nature, such as &C.

one who uses Doan's Ointment. Every
body who tries it becomes an enthu-

make life comfortable for himself and

A Case of "BOiling Down."

A journeyman halter, companion
OF DR.. Franklin, was about to set up in
business and wished to have an appro-
pirate sign to put over Ills door. He
designed one that bore the following
inscription: "John Thompson, Halter,
makes and sells Hats for ready Money"
Following this was picture of hat.
But he was not quite certain of the
suitability of his sign, and he decided
to submit it to his friends for their crit
icism. The first that he showed it to
objected to the word CHATTER" because
it was followed by the words, "makes
hats" which sufficiently explained that
he was halter. The word was struck
out. the next said that the word
"makes" was useless, because the GUS
toners would not care who made the
hats, so long as they were satisfactory
and the price was not too high. He
struck that out also. The third man
said that the words, "for ready money!"
might as we'll go, as it was not the GUS
tom to sell hats on credit; every one
who bought expected to pay. These
words were taken out, and the inscrip-
ton read, "John Thompson sells hats"
His next friend said "sells" might as
we'll come out, because nobody expect
ed him to give them away; what, then,
was the use of the word? "Sells" was
accordingly struck out, and chats" was
all that remained, following John
Thompson" Even this, short as it
was, was further diminished, and the
sign finally stood, "John Thompson"
with the figure of hat following it.

Mrs. cleveland After IA Years.

Fourteen years ago Francis Folsom
was the lovliest of all the graduates
that stepped across the threshold of
Wells college into the big world be-
You'd. And recently when the Wells
College alumnae, go strong gathered
for their annual luncheon at Sherry's
Mrs. Grover Cleveland still carried off
the palm.
A trife more matronly than the slim
brown.haired girl of the past, she is in
the fulness OF her matured beauty.
Her black silk gown, with glimpse Of
pink at the throat, and the big gray hat
with sweeping plumes made an admir-
able setting.
Mrs. Cleveland has reason to con-
graduate herself. The $4,000 fund she
started six years ago to add to the
building resources OF the college was
yesterday completed. Miss Dorothy
Lyon, the first vice-president, occupied
the chair in lieu of the president, Mrs.
Colin Cooper, who sent letter of
greeting from Holland.
The principal address was made by
Hamilton Mabie, who held that the at.
mosphere Of the college is as bene fetal
to the young woman as the studies she
pursues.-New York World.
