In its December number Success" has
this to say of Miss Grace Mckinley:
1T is seldom that young girl, who
may have wealth and the highest social
position, chooses the drudgery and irk-
some duties of school teacher. Such 4
unique specimen OF fair American maid
enhood is found in the orphan niece OF
President Mckinley. Miss Grace Mckin-
ley. year ago last June. the President
and Mrs. Mckinley. with party OF
friends-Cabinet officers and other promi-
nent officials-went to that staid and dis
tinguished seat of learning, Mount Holy
oke College, South Hadiey. Mass, to see
Miss Grace take her degree of b. A. Few
events in the official life of our present
Executive have given him such genuine
pleasure as this graduation. Miss Grace
stood at the head of her class, while her
record during the entire course had been
one of praiseworthy endeavor. The Presi-
dent, to show his appreciation of her sue
cess, bestowed on his niece a beautiful
diamond pin. The graduation dress,
dainty creation of white chiffon and lace.
was Mrs. McKinley's gift. 1t was made
at the White House. under the personal
supervision of its gentle mistress. ..
1T was after this great event that the
President offered to adopt Miss Grace,
formally, and thus make her the reign
ing belle of the nation-the social leader
of the Capitalize only young girl in the
great Presidential Mansion at Washing
ton.
This was surely tempting offer, but
it did not swerve this beautiful and brill
liant girl from a long-cherished aspira-
ton. She wished to use her gifts in
fitting way-in one to which she had en-
deayored to train herself during her long
and severe probation at Mount Holyoke.
She chose the arduous profession OF
school teacher, and this fall, on her own
application. sustained by her record at
college, she secured position in the high

the apple eaters no longer feel lone

asked Mr.. Bowersock, the Kansas mil

lunch, he said he was, and started for
the cloak room, where he extracted a
big apple from his overcoat pocket,
with the remark, Mrs. Bowersock has
provided me with lunch" A few days

brought Uncle Joe" Cannon in haste
from the Republican cloak room, and

time after returning to his home in
Newark Mr.. Mandel was taken sick
and his sickness continued until few
weeks ago, when he began TO eXper-

day the pain was very severe and he
began TO cry out in agony,but was sud-

putting his hand to his head he saw

sixteen years of gloom. he looked up

Republican Victories.

The Ohio municipal elections never
resulted so overwhelmingly for the
Republicans as they did on Monday
Cincinnati, which last fall voted fol
Mclean, elected the whole Republican
ticket by from $500 to $500 majority
Cleveland, that gave Jones $4,000 over
Nash in November. elected the entire
Republican ticket by from 5000 to 20
900 majority. Toledo gave an average
Republican majority of some 1000 and
Columbus over 100. Dayton is the
only one of Ohio's big cities that the
Democrats carried. OF the smaller
cities and big towns the Republicans
were successful in nearly three-fourths
and in the country townships did bet
ter than for many years. Harmony in
the Republican party in Cincinnati
and Cleveland has been restored, anc
the April election results indicate that
the Republicans will sweep Ohio neXt
November by from $4,000 to 100000
votes. McKinley's clean administra-
ton. which has restored prosperity
and put all people TO work, has been
indorsed. and this year the voters will
take no backward Bryan step.-Ohic

May. Advance Schley Over
Sampson.

Washington, April 3.-Acting Secre-
tary Allen has asked the Attorney
General to furnish the Navy Depart
ment with copy of his opinion in the
case of Captain Fl. B. McCalla, in
which the Attorney General decided
that Captain McCalls had been ad-
vanced and promoted by the action of
the Senate in confirming the nomlna-
zion Of Lieutenant Commander J. E
Pillsbury," vice McCaila, advanced and
promoted"
There have been reports that the
precedent thus established would re-
suit in the advancement of Rear Ad-
miral Schley above Rear Admiral
Sampson. 1t is the opinion of officers
who have studied the decision that if
any promotions occur as result of
the McCalla opinion both Sampson
and Schley will be advanced. Captain
F. J. Higginson was twice nominated
for promotion, the nomination which
was confirmed being. "vice Schley, ad-
vanced and promoted" Commodore
Schleys nomination was thus worded:
Commodore Winfield Scott Schley
to be advanced six numbers in rank
and to be Rear Admiral in the navy
from the 10th day of August, 1898, to
take rank after Rear Admiral W. T.
Sampson, advanced.
Officers say that if Schley is held to
be advanced by the action of the Sen
ate in Higginson's case then Rear Ad-
miral SIMPSONS nomination was also
confirmed. as Schley's nomination was
to rank after Sampson, advanced

Working Country Roads.

All reforms come through and by
reason of agitation, and 1t is hope
full sign to see such widespread
awakening on this subject. Now, am
nothing il not radical. and | advo-
cate a complete revolution in our sys-
tenn of road work. My idea is to have
all the road tax paid in money instead
of work. and then hire the road work
done by the season. In this way
think 81 would do the work of So un-
der the present system. If this esti-
mate should prove correct, then we
might reduce cur poll tax to SO and
still be a dollar ahead. Then, If we
had a man to do our road work who
devoted his entire time to it, our roads
would be worked when they should be.
This way they never are and never
will be. 1t is universally conceded
that all heavy grading should be done
in the spring. but where is the farmer
who will leave his spring work to
work on the road? 1t will not be diff
ferent next spring nor the spring fol-
lowing; so you see, under the present
management, there is no hope for a
betterment of conditions. Now, is 1t
wise to retain that which we can nev-
er improve on? Better lay it aside as
having outlived its usefulness and put
in its place something better. There is
another advantage in favor of the
road overseer, and that is. he would in
time learn his business and would not
waste more than half of the funds APP
piled through lack of knowledge as to
how to properly apply it. 1t is not an
uncommon sight to see the road act
ually damaged by the overseer's mis-
guided efforts. With a gang of three
or four men under the guidance of an
experienced roadmaster it is safe tc
| say more could be accomplished in one
| day than we now do in two with the
same force. Under the present system
the road tax derived from real estate
is nearly all lost. The several amount;
are nearly all too small to make il
worth while to make a team to worl
it out, and the result is it goes glim
merng." That is the way it works il
our road district Now, you see if w
would adopt the cash system we woul(
save all that. In fact / think we hav,
everything to gain and nothing to los,

Cancer Cured By Figs.

Mrs. G. P. Wooster, leading resi-
dent here and energetic church worker
is very happy and wants everybody to
know the cause of her happiness.
Many months ago council of all
the physicians in town decided she had
a cancer and only prompt surgical
operation would cure her. To this she
objected, determined to die natural
death from it than be thus tortured.
Some one, however, suggested that
she try the FIG cure" and treat herself
1t would certainly do no harm if it did
not effect a cure. Accordingly short
time ago she laid in a supply of the
figs the market afforded. She ate figs
took fig syrup and used fig salve and
poultices until, greatly to her surprise
the cancer loosened its hold and by
her own hands was transferred to a
bottle of alcohol.
This she today exhibits as the result
Of the fig cure" in answer to heI
prayers.-Chicago Times Herald.

The Stream of Immigrants.

Prosperity is not only attracting a
larger number of immigrants to the
United States than have come this way
for many years. but the newcomers
are apparently distributing themselves
all over the country with a greater ap-
proach to equality than has been no.
tlced before at any time. They are
going into all states east Of the Missis-
sippi as we'll as west of it, and south Of
the Potomac and Ohio as well as north
of those streams. This wide diffusion
among the immigrants is a notable
circumstance.
Before the civil war; of course, com
paratively few immigrants from Eu-
rope went into Southern states. Slay-
cry was almost as effective in shutting
out settlers from the Old World from
any of the states below Mason and
Dixons line as a Gordon of soldiers
along the boundary would have been.
Slavery erected social quarantine
against the South until the extinction
of that institution in 1865. The pow
erty which the war brought to that
section and the domestic troubles
which attended the return of those
states to their old relations to the
Union hampered immigrants for a
dozen years after the war ended.
At the present time, however. the
South and the East are getting con-
siderable share of the migrants from
the Old World, whiie, of course, the
West is not slighted. The erection oi
factories throughout the South in the
past twenty years has attracted many
immigrants to that quarter, and man
ufacturing at present is very prosper
Gus, with the wages of its operatives
high. The vacant lands are not sc
great in extent as they once were
which is one Of the causes why q
larger proportion of the immigrants
remain east of the Mississippi thar
did so formerly and the growth ir
manufactures and the advance ir
wages, most of the factories being in
the eastern part Of the country, is an
other reason. No part of the country
is neglected any longer by the new
conner. The West, however, is getting
its share of them, and is glad to see the
East and the South securing many Of
the new Americans.-Globe Demacrot

Duty on Lightning

The curious question has come up as
to whether electricity is dutiable. The
Dingley tariff act is silent on the sub
ject, The dynamo that generates the
mighty but Invisible fluid can be tax
ed; the wire it travels on is dutiable,
as we'll as the various instruments
that depend upon electricity for their
usefulness, but electricity itself is not
regarded as a commodity that must
pay duty. The question comes from
Niagara Falls and so far the whole
matter is hypothetical. The Ameri-
cans interested want to furnish cleo
triciiy to parties on the Canadian side,
and there are parties on the Canada
side who propose to sell power on the
American side of the river. Probably
the powers that be" will decide that
lightning should be on the free list

thirty-siX gallons, while the Danes alb

away twenty-five gallons per head in
