A new cabinet rumor, which may or may not prove true, is to the effecs that Governor Crane is to succeed Secretary Long whenever that gentle man steps out. It is said by his friends that Governor Cranes chief ob- jection to accepting the treasury port folio was due to the fact that before doing so he would have been obliged to dispose of his large interest in the Pittsfield paper mill at which is man. ufactured the paper on which the gov ernment engraves it's paper money. This mill is q very profitable property and the sacrifice was more than Gov ernor Crane felt he could afford to make. Of course if he were to accept the naval portfolio no such condition would be necessary and at the same time the president would have the ben- eft of his counsel.

some time to come. Its chief basis is the demand from the railroads, which, as explained in previous advices, are not only overtaxed with the handling of freight but are passing through q process of reconstruction involving heavy orders for rails, bridges, cars and locomotives that would be likely to continue even should the rush of freight abate somewhat For some time to come the railroads will be obliged to spend large part of their surplus earnings in this direction, rather than in increased dividends, and it is rare good fortune for railroad managers that these imperative changes can be paid for out of earn ings rather than by issue of new se- curities, which would otherwise have been the case. Experts say that the end of the present activity in freight traffic is not yet in sight, that we are in for several months additional good business. We trust this will prove true, but we are now at the time when reduced corn movement will be felt and the severe winter promises to cause more or less Interruption. Out side of the iron trade there is no ab normal activity, and values often show q sagging tendency"

STRENUOUS TIMES.

Looking east from the windows ol the navy department no one would nov hardly recognize in the old Whit House the stately executive mansion o1 the American people. The Roosevelt children have transformed it. On the last day of the old year there was 6 typical scene, Not only were the pres ident's children at home and very thor oughly at home, but they had numer- ous friends with them. On the slopine tin roof, hitherto sacred to the slow footsteps of old Jerry who since the Lincoln administration has flung to the breeze the flag that waves from the sufmounting pole, was party of romp- ing youngsters, chasing one another IF and down the inclines until the specta- tor prayed that the massive balustrade around the edge was as sound as II seemed. Down below on the lawn south of the house, was another group running about on stilts and having such a good time that one could ina zine it to be egg rolling day. Mean while, like a hen, whose ducklings have outgrown her, a nurse watched the play from the porch. A recent visitor to the White House says that while waiting ill the lower corridor, he was startled by terrific pounding and humping. The doors in the painted glass screen barring off the reception hall from the rest of the building came open with a crash, and through the opening stalked triumphantly on a pair of long stilts, girl The atten- dants smiled an uneasy smile, but on of them yentured to whisper: If Mrs Mckinley were fhere to see that, She'd faint on the spot.
 From the White House conservatory unWonted sounds assaM the ear of tn, passer. The squeels of the possum the harsh cries of a strange bird whicl the newspaper men have dubbed tn Jabberwock, the grunting and growl- ing and squeaking of half dozen othe pets float outward to give him an i'm pression of passing a menagerie. Con trasted with the air of dignity whicl the place bore in the McKinely regime the tumult of the strenous life seem: almost ineongruouS.

Rear Admiral Schley is only human. That is why lie did not participate in the White House New Years reception. MraRoosevelts treatment of him has not been calculated to cause him to desire to play the hypocrite by calling to pay his respects. Therefore he made it convenient to remember that he owed his sister, in Baltimore, visit. He is now back in Washington, but next week he will go to Savannah, Ga, where he and Mrs Schley will be the guests of General William ". Gordon for ten days.

The New York corporation, known as the International Banking corpora tion, won out in the somewhat spirited competition ill which the other com petitors were English banks, for the position of United States fiscal agent in the Orient, and will at it's Shanghai branch handle all the indemnity money that China will pay this government, receiving thereon a commission that will go far toward making the new concern profitable from the start. Be- sides, it has received promises of large government business at its Manila branch. Banking in the east is doubt less very profitable, but it will be no7 ticed that these gentlemen did not jump into the game until they made connection with the United States gov. ernment. Those interested admit that they are figuring on making big money out of the government, but say they might as well get it as the foreign bankers who do business in China.

Some time ago my daughter can,

Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was we'll and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in nay family for the past sev- en years and have never known it to fail,' says James Prendergast, mer- chant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West In dia Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneu- monia. Sold by all druggists.

KEEPS THE BRIDGE NO MORE


 ''Aunt Sarah" Titus, who had been the Westchester bridge tender, says the New York Sun, died of pneumonia on Wednesday after Q few days ill- ness. She had swung the draw of the Westchester avenue bridge for the last forty-fve years, and during that time had withstood several at tempts to remove her from duty There are few people in Westchester, even down to the children, who did not know her. She was 76 years old
 She succeeded her husband, William Titus, as bridge tender, when Will liam died in 1857. The couple had been deeply attached to each other and at his death she told her friends that she was going to do his work, because their happiest hours had been spent on the bridge.
 She was a big strong woman and had no difficulty in turning the draw. She had one son. George, who lived with her in a small cottage on the west side of the Bronx river.
 When ex-Mayor YanWyclz went into office number of Tammany poli- ticians in the Bronx had their eyes on Aunt Sarah's job. Deputy Bridge Commissioner Rocky" Moore asked her to resign. Thinking she would give up her job, he appointed two men to do the work she had done for forty-fve years alone. But he didn't know Aunt Sarah. She sent back word that she wouldn't resign and that they couldn't put her out. She kept the key to the draw under her bed every night for fear the men ap- pointed would get possession of it, so she was summoned to the Morrisania police court to state her reasons for not surfendering the key The mag lstrate heard her story and refused to do anything to help put her out. She stayed, though all sorts of schemes were tried to get possession of the bridge key.
 Last spring. Aunt Sarah was strick- en with pneumonia. and thinking she was going to die became a Roman Catholic. She recovered and went to church for the first time in 46 years. she said. She knew every captain who runs a boat on the Bronx river and she also knew every boat and tuo at night by its whistle. She had had number of offers to marry since her husbands death, but she refused them all She feared nobody, and many . tramp has had occasion to regref at tempts to have fun at her expense.

'sAs for the outlook in 1902,' says Banker Clews, s'it is certainly satisfac- tory and hopeful, but less so than a year ago. Prices of both stocks and commodities are very high, so high as to materially check buying power, and remove all basis for legitimate specu- lation or anticipation of future wants. The business situation is good, yet it is spotty compared with the beginning of 1901- The iron trade is still enjoy

It is reported on excellent authority. says one writer, that Lord Pauncefote desires to secure a settlement of tie numerous controversies between the United States and his government growing out of the Alaskan boundary, the Atlantic fisheries, warships on tho Great Lakes, the regulation of rela- tions along the Canadian boundary. etc. The British ambassador is great ly elated oyer the ratification of the treaty which bears his name and he feels that if he could procure at this time a friendly settlement of the re maining questions on which the nations are at variance it would be a fitting rounding out his diplomatic career If he should do so, it is certain that his government would permit the re firement which he crayes It is saif that as far back as last May Lord Lansdowne in a note to Secretary Hay, indicated his willingness to take up these questions and that the president is most anxious that Mir Hay should enter into immediate negotiations with the British ambassador. It may be safely predicted that an attempt to negotiate one or more treaties coyer- ing these points will be made at once and with the hope that it may be coin- pieted in time for ratification by the fifty-seventh congress. The president considers that such an accomplishments would add materially to the credit of his administration and that whenever MT Hay chose to retire from the cab+ tent he could do so with the knowlege that he had performed signal services to his country while in once.
