thorizing county courts to grant fran
chises to corporate bodies for the con
struction of turnpike roads over their

1t is an open secret that Mr.. McKin-
ley would be glad to receive Ayers
resignation. The story circulated last
week that Alger was about to resign,
originated in administration circles,
and was doubtless intended as a hint
to Alger. 1t brought out the defiant
statement from Alger hat he did not
intend to resign, of his own accord.
He is said to believe chat Nh. McKin-
ley is afraid to ask for his resignation,
although he knows that he is constant
ly being advised by prominent repub-
licans to do SO.

Mr., Mckinley has been catching it
again from members Of his own party
in congress. Senator Sewell, who voted
for ratification of the treaty and for
everything else that has been asked fer
by the administration, was so stirred
up by the progress of the wal with the
F1lipinos, that he let out the fact that
he had been supporting the Mckinley
policy against his own judgment. He
said emphatically: 81 never was in ia

According to n statement made by O
member of the court of inquiry, which
this week begins the taking of testi-
mony on the embalmed beef charges,
the court regards itself as sitting as a
court-martial to try General Miles on
the charge of lying, although without
authority to pass sentence should it
find him guilty. No other construc-
ton can be placed upon this language,
used by the member Of the court re-
ferred to: "We look to Gen. Miles to
prove his allegations. We have no
concern as to the witnesses as to that
side of the inquiry, and it is incumbent
upon Gen. Miles to secure and produce
before us those whom he expects to es-
tablish his case" In other words, the
court believes Gen. Miles guilty, but
will give him a chance to prove other
wise. Gen. Miles will produce sixty
odd officers who reported from the field
against the beef issue, including Gov.
Teddy of New York, and the proof
will be made SO hat that it is likely TO
scorch Secretary Alger and other Off
Gals as we'll as the beef contractors.

are readily experienced by all expectant
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed
the experimental stage. While it always
shortens labor and lessons the pains OF

Morning sickness and nervousness are
readily overcome, and the linimentrelaxes

expand without causing distress. Mothers

Lamps need more attention than
any other means of light, and yet
many women know bat little about
the best method of treating them.
If lamp chimnevs are cleaned with
cloth that has been dipped into
alcohol, instead of soap and water,
the result is better; and if the wicks
are soaked in strong vinegar and
thoroughly dried before being used
there will be no smoke. The burn
ers will inevitably become clogged
in the course of time, and ought to
be treated to ten-minute boiling
in quart of water in which an
ounce OF washing soda has been
dissolved, and thereafter rubbed
with cotton cloth, when they will
become as good as new. This oper-
alton ought to be repeated every
