SECRETARY HAY VERY ILL.
Suffering From Nervous Exhaustion
at His Summer Home.

Lake Sunapee, n. H., Aug. 6.-Colonel
John Hay, secretary of state in Presi-
dent McKinley's cabinet, is very sick
man. He is at his country house, The
Fells. With him are Mrs. Hay, the
Misses Helen and Alice Hay and Master
Clarence Hay.
The secretary arrived Saturday, hav-
ing left Washington Friday afternoon.
He reached The Fels in time for lunch
con and passed the afternoon with the
members of his family, whom he had
not seen since they came here, June IL.
Feeling somewhat indisposed, Colonel
Hay retired early. In the night he arous-
ed Mrs. Hay, saying he was i'll. She
did what she could, and as he became
more distressed she decided to summon
a physician.
AT o'clocla yesterday morning serv-
ant left for West Springfield, Is miles
away, where the family physician, DIR.
S. S. Adams of Washington, is spending
the summer.
The physician arrived at 10 o'clock and
remained with his distinguished patient
three hours. 1t appears that the secre-
tary has been working on his surplus
nerve energy for several weeks past, and
on arriving here the change to absolute
relaxation was so great that he gave
way. He also contracted a bad cold on
the way from Washington, but pneumo-
MIA is not anticipated unless unforeseen
complications arise His malady is un-
doubtcdly nervous exhaustion, brought on
by his arduous labors in the Chinese
crisis. A months rest is expected to
effect n complete cure.

When She Goes Ayyay.

~ times the thoughtless person Ia

that getting ready to leave town for
the summer means any work on the
woman's part. The man who intends
going away may leave the prepara-
tions till the last minute and simply
bundle his clothing into a gripsack or
a suit case, and what is the sense of
any ones doing more? 1t Is totally
different proposition, however, when
there Is the arranging of the household
supplies so that the mllkman, the ice
man and the baker will deliver their
wares up to the last day and no longer
and when the lardcr is to be left clean
and empty and yet so nicely managed
that it will yield enough for the final
meal Leaving the house or the fiat in
proper shape means something too
The silverware, for instance, must be
properly cared for. Few housekeepers
Know the value of camphor gum in this
connection. The silver should be put
into bags as nearly alright as possible,
and into each bag should go a good
sized lump of gum camphOr. The bag
may be made of chamos skin or of cot
ton flannel. If the latter is used, get
the unbleached variety, since the sui
phur used in the bleaching process has
tendency toward darkening the sill

ering for silver. But never put the sill
yer away in any material that attracts
