OHIO'S new JUDCESHIP.

Washington, Dec. 20.-According to
what President Mckinley is reported
to have said to j. S. Mcneil, OF Marion,
who Is an aspirant for the additional
judgeship in the northern Ohio district
recently created by act of congress, the
president has already made tender of
the place to a prominent lawyer, Of
Cleveland. The president told this to
Mr.. Mcneil, and added that If the offer
was rejected he had already made up his
mind to whom he would next tender
1t. The president intimated In further
conversation that in case the second
man refused the position the field would
be an open one for all aspirants.
1t Is not known and cannot be ascer
tained to whom the president has made
the offer, but it is limited that Harvey
ID. Goulder is the man. Judge Carlos
NJ. Stone is regarded as the most likely
man to whom the president would make
the second offer. However, this Is all
guesswork on the part of those who
are interested in the appointment.
Representative Grosvenor today
pointed out that il would be impossible
for President Mckinley to appoint any
member of congress to the position be-
cause article L. section 6, OF the consti-
tuition provides that no senator or rep
resentative shall, during the time for
which he was elected, be appointed to
any civil Office under the authority OF
the United States which shall have been
created or the emoluments whereof
shall have been increased during such
time"
This effectually disposes of the booms
which We're started in the interests OF
Representatives Burton, Kerr, Tayler
and Southard and puts them out of the
| running.

Michigan saw the president today in the

nurse Gets Twins MIXED
Sees Mole On Shoulder of No. ]
OverIOOks It On NO.2.
Elder Of Two Children Heir to An Estate,
and the Lawyers Are Puzzled.
SIS, 900 Involved.

Geneva, N. Y, Dec. 20.-If some one
will come here and discover which Of
the infant twin sons of the late Jared
Marks is the elder he will relieve
distracted mother, some puzzled execu-
tors and lawyers and a much alarmed
nurse. The latter thought, when the
twins got their first peep at the big
world three days ago, that she had
located a distinguished mark on the
elder of the twain. But when the law Of
inheritance got her in a corner she was
nearly paralyzed to discover that the
other youngster was marked in identi-
cally the same manner.
Marks was a farmer near Malvern
Hill, few miles from here. He died
a week ago, leaving an estate of about
$50, 900. In his will, after making speci-
fic bequests to relatives. he named his
eldest son." then unborn, residuary
legatee. His purpose was to entail his
estate under the law so that it should
descend by primogeniture in the male
line.
Four days after Marks death Mrs.
Marks gave birth to the twin sons. On
the arrival of No. l. the nurse carefully
! noted the presence af q small but we'll
that she could thus Identify the elder
when called upon to do so, she paid lit
tie attention to No. 2. When the will
was read and the entailment clause dis-
covered the nurse was asked to identify
the elder of the twins, and it was then
she found to her CONSERVATION that
each youngster was the owner of a
mole located on the same spot on each
small shoulder.
The puzzle might find solution in the
courts were it not for a clause in the
will, which provides that in case of any
contest of the document, the confession
shall be disinherited, and his portion of
the estate given to certain charitable in
stitutions in Rochester. Lawyers here
| are of the opinion that, falling to iden-
tify the elder of the twins the only
recourse for the heirs Is to seek to
have the will declared invalid. It 10
said that this course will be taken ih
the case.

FORTUNE IN Cash
And Good CoIumbiana Farms For Miss
Blanche Cameron.
GIRL PARENTS CANNOT Be FOUND.
Heiress Was an Inmate of Fair
mont Home When a ChiId..-
Bore Name of HOIlander.

Massillon, Dec. 20.-Postmaster L. A.
Koons is trying to find relatives of a
young lady who, in 1886, when she en-
tered the Fairmount Children's home,
at Alliance, bore the name of Flora AL
ice Hollander. He wants to tell them
that this young lady has recently come
into the possession of four fine Columbi-
ana farms and $4,000 in money. Her
name is now Miss Blanche Cameron,
given her by her adopted parents and
benefactors, and her home is in Inver-
ness, Columbiana county. Ohio.
At the time the present Miss Cam
eron was taken to the Fairmount home,
she was a mere child, a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Hollander, who
then lived in Schnagoloch. Her father
worked at the furnaces, and was better
known as "Petie Lose 'em Fight" than
by his real name. Mr.. Hollander died
shortly after his children were taken
to the home. A few years later Mrs.
Hollander married Joseph Smith and
removed to Cleveland. Since then moth
ing has been heard from any Of the
members of the family. Postmaster
Koons was township clerk at the time
the children were entered in the home,
and 1t was he who accompanied them
to the institution.
The assistant postmaster of Inver-
ness, at the request of Miss Cameron,
has written to this city for informa-
ton. Miss Cameron says she had
brothers and sisters, and she is conf
dent that some of them reside in or
about Massillon. The postmaster, how
ever, has been unable to find any trace
of the relatives. He requests that per-
sons having knowledge of their where
abouts communicate with him.

Train Near Alliance.

Alliance, Dec. 20.-When train No. 81
pulled into Sebring last evening a
young man hastily left his seat and
grabbing up an overcoat on forward
seat left the train. A travelling man by
the name of Selvage noticing the crowd
getting on at Sebring, and remembering
his overcoat he had left on the seat in
front of him, stepped forward to find

MARRIAGE PERMITS.
Thought Il liumiIiating.

Mr.. Waller, an uncle-in-law of Mr..
Mckinley, tells the following story of
the presidents boyhood. On one oc-
casion, during a visit of Mrs. Waller
to the home of her brother, William
Mckinley, ST., the president was a lad
of 16 or II years of age. He was q stu
dent at the time, and was porting over
his Latin when his brother, David, who
was superintendent of a coal mine, came
rushing into the room and ordered
young William to hitch up his horse
and have it ready for him by certain
time, as he was In a hurry, and wanted
to drive out to a dance several miles in
the country. After his brother had left
the room, young William turned to his
aunt, Mrs. Waller, and said:
Aunt Martha, don't you think it hu-
initiating for a Methodist and q Latin
scholar to be compelled to hitch UP q
horse for brother to go to a dancer"

IT is apparent that the Addicks man

them as representing prevailing senti-
