TREADWELL u GUIANA MINE.
This is miles east of Suffer Creek.
There are two veins in the property,
on one of which, the Treadwell, there
are two tunnels, one 700 feet, the other
800 feet in length; besides which there
are numerous superficial cuts. The
Guiana vein was discovered in the bed
of Suffer creek, where it is feet in
width, showing free gold. There is a
30-feot shaft and short tunnel on this
vein. The mine is idle. The mill
which was formerly on the property is
dismantled The mill contained 6
stamps and was operated by water
under 0-foot head with 1O-inch pipe
line. This did not apparently afford
sufficient power to run the mill, and it
was consequently shut down. Several
years later, it is said, it was discovered
that in some manner piece Of scantling
had gotten into the pipeline, descend

PRESIDENTS ANB CABINETS

In the early days of the government
changes among the cabinet officers dur
ing the service OF the President who APP
pointed them were rarer than they have
been since. Washington made no al
teration in his council at the beginning of
his second term. but there were some re-
tirements i'm IL before that term ended

who were in washington's Cav.net at it's
close were retained by Adams at his ac-
cession TO power Adams belonging to the
same party as Washington. Jefferson
and Madison each made only one change
I'm their cabinets at the beginning of their
second terms. and Monroe made none.
Jackson, the next president VINO was re-
elected. made many changes at the be-
ginning of his second term, and at other
times In his service. All the men who
were i'm Lincolns cabinet at the close of
his first term were continued I'm his sec

second term. although many changes oc-
currcd before aud after. Cleveland the
only other president except Mckinney
who was elected twice. had an interval
of retirement between his first and sec

new cabinet when he entered office the
second time.

HISTORICAL CARTOONS IN POLITICS.

Cartoons have played an Important
part in American political campaigns
since the time of Andrew Jackson. The
cartoon published. showing the hero OF
New Orleans. clad IN kingly robes. with
a royal sceptre. indicates that ''imperial-
ism" is by no means a new paramount
issue nor exclusively chargeable 10 the
account OF any one political party, says
the National Magazine
Cartoons were In Jackson's time po-
tent actor In his election. and especially
his reelection, and left deep impression
upon American voters.
The deadly parallel has always been
an effective inspiration for cartoons. The
public man who varies his opinions from
year TO year. and who is proven incon-
sistent with himself. was rich game for
the early cartoonsts. who were jubilant
in heraiding in pretentious paragraphs
inclosed in border the words supposed
TO nave been said by the unhappy
victim.
The famous "nigger in The woodpiie'
cartoon, which represents Lincoln sitting
on a rail cage, inside of which is a ne
gro. and Greeley trying 20 explain in the
Tribune that there Is no Niger there"
is one of Tie best remembered cartoOnS
of the first Lincoln campaign. The Rail-
Splitter" gave the cartoonists a distinct
i've idea 10 work upon and they exploited
IL thoroughly. Lincoln's storytelling pro-
clivities also aroused the malicious ridi-
cule of his political opponents The placid
serenity with which he endured the ava
lanche of satire and abuse was exasper-
ating to them. 1t is said that there was
only one cartoon that cut Lincoln to tho
quick. and that was the one In which he
was represented as Janus-faced and In

: The Providence team Journeyed to Fall
River last evening and in the contest with
the Night Hawks lost the odd game in
one of the most interesting contests of
the season.
The Night Hawks were out for three
straight games, which were needed TO tie
them for first place with the Music Halls,
but after winning the first two with the
remarkably high scores of 475 and 52l.
they fell down in the final struggle and
the Providence team was enabled TO elope
with one game.

Entered on a Strange Voyage
Without Chart or Compass.

and all the places were taken.
Among the speakers were Grover Cleve-

Ex-President Cleveland said
1T has been my lot TO be much on the
sober side of life and feel the pressure
of great responsibilities.
II am quite willing TO take an humble
place among the sermoniZers in this time
of headlong national heedlessness, and
TO invoke the cultivation and saving
grace of Dutch conservatism. This is
the kind of conservatism that counts the
most but for the sake OF principle and
freedom will disregard the cost; that loves
the liberty and national happiness which
rest upon tried and sure founda tions;
that teaches reverence for national tradi-
tions and encourages the peoples salts
faction with their country's mission.
1T is the kind OF conservatism In Wnicn
our Constitution had its birth and which
has thus far been the source OF our ma
tions safety and strength-the conserva-
.tism of justice OF honor, of honesty, of
industry. of frugality and OF contented
homes.
JAUNTILY SET ASIDE.
"But- conservatism has ina great de-
gree been jauntily cast aside or con-
demned as opposed TO our country's well
fare and glory. A strange voyage has
been entered upon without count of cost
and without chart or compass. The
restraints and limitations of our Consti-
tuition have become CALLING and irk-
some under the temptations of national
greed and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
''Our old love OF peace. honor and JUS
tice has been weakened. and frugality
and contentment are not now traits In
