EAGAN's STATUS.
He Will Remain COmmissary General
and Draw Full Pay.

WASHINGTON, Feb. San interesting
fact in connection with General Eagan's
suspension from the army was developed
to-day on inquiry at the War Department.
Although General Eagan has been suspend
ed without rank or duty, he still remains
commissary general of the army drawing
the pay of that office. and there is no way
in which he can be displaced till he is re-
tired. In this the army differs from the
navy. In that branch of the service such
staff appointments are made for term of
four years at the end of which time the
incumbent may be changed or reappointed.
In the army the appointment is for the re-
naming term of service.
This was decided in the case of Judge
Advocate General Swain, number of years
ago. Though suspended from the army
for twelve years, he continued to be the
judge advocate general, although his duties
were performed by acting Judge Advocate
Lieber, the present incumbent of the office,
and this state of things continued for nine
years during all of which time General
Swain continued to draw full pay, whi e
his deputy drew only the pay corresponding
to the lower rank General Eagan is still
in Washington, and the acting commissary
general, Col. John Weston, is sick in New
York. never yet having been able to assume
his place in the department at Washington.

The Massage Business.

The marriage of Adelina Patti will make
the massage business more popular than
ever for she first became acquainted with

ington and all the cities in the East, as
suppose in the West also, and is now re-
garded by rich and self-indulgent people as
one of the necessaries of life. The fashion,
able physicians in this city prescribe it as
a cure for the grip, which leaves the patient
weak and enerVated. Nothing seems to take
the spirit out of man so much, and there
Is no inclination for the exercise that is alb
sOlutely necessary for the recovery of
strength. The masseurs of Washington have
been very busy during the past few weeks
They called in vain for assistants from New
York and then cabled to Sweden for them.
The masseurs in New York report that they
also have more than they can do.
A new feature Of the massage treatment
as practiced in this city, is to restore youth
and beauty in " omen who are showing signs
of age. A goOd-looking woman breads moth
ing so much as wrinkles and a masseur here
guarantees to remove them by an applca-
ton of hot water and the pressure of her
quires a good deal of patience and sacrifice.
however, because while under treatment the
patients face is swathed in bandages of hot
water for several days and she can eat moth
ing but liquid food take through a tube.
There have been at least three. successful
operations Of this kind. One lady in Wash
ington, who year ago showed unmistakable
signs of age, blOSSOmed out last fall in the
fullness and bloom Of youth or. as she said,
sixteen years younger than when she left the
city in the spring.

Brookes advisory cabinet of Cubans is

ton is to appoint a committee of bankers
