Washington, Feb. AT 1890
o'clock in the presence of the chief Of
fioials of the treasury department,
Senator Dolliver and nearly all of
Icwa's delegation in the lower house
of congress and other friends, former
governor Leslie NJ. Shaw of Iowa, took
the prescribed oath of Office as secre-
tary of the treasury, succeeding Lyman
]. Gage. The oath was administered
by Mr. Justice Shiras of the United
States supreme court, in the largest Of
fee rooms in the treasury building.
Secretary Shaw was warmly congratu-
lated by each person present upon his
accession to his high office.
The retiring secretary was among
the first to grasp his hand and as he
did so said:
''Mr. Secretary, 1 congratulate you
and wish for your administration the
highest possible degree of success"
Secretary Shaw responded:
81 thank you, sir, most sincerely, and
if my success shall be anything like
that of my predecessor, shall be fully
satisfied"
The new and the retiring secretaries
then received all of the officials and
clerks in the treasury building, to the
number of 1000 Secretary Gage has
the love and respect of the officials and
clerks of the department to a remark
able degree, as was shown in their
leave taking. Many eyes were wet and
voices trembled as the chief they had
known and loved was grasped by the
hand, probably for the last time.
Secretary Gage remained in confer
ence with his successor for an hour or
more and then left the department. He
will go to New York tomorrow or Mon
day to remain few days, and in the
course of two or three weeks he will
go to Florida for a rest of two or
three months. From that time his
movements have not been decided
upon, but it is altogether probable he
will return to Chicago and accept the
presidency of large trust company in
that city.

In the first circle around the edge of
the head of the pin are the letters from
A to NJ, inclusive. Within this is a

The work occupied about an hour and a

1t was done with an ordinary engrav-
er's tool.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

by local applications, they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
inflamed condition OF the mucous lining Of
the eustachian tube When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumblng sound imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness IS the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be raken out and this tube
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of 10 are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Diplomacy OF the President.

The velvety-voiced politicians who go
to the White House get some jolts from
President Roosevelt. When the eXecu-
tive meets the callers in the morning
he has them rounded up in the recep-
tiOn-roOm, and sometimes there are a
score in the room at once. Mr.. RoOse-
welt bustles in and ropes at the first
shorthorn he sees. finishes with him in
short order and goes down the line in
the same brisk manner. No condolences
are exchanged. The sly politician
grasps the President by the lapel puts
his lips close to the executive ear and
whispers his little tale. The President
replies in voice audible throughout
the room, gives the whole snap away,
not only revealing the object of the Wis
itor's call but disclosing his action. In
the case of "turn-down" this is very
painful.-WashingtO Star.

AWFUL BOER MORTALITY.
British Reconcentrodo Camps in South
Africa to Be Abolished.

Africa to Be Abolished.
The horrors of the British reconcen-
trado camps in South Africa are to be
abated. The appalling mortality that
has marked these camps from the be-
ginning has at length aroused the Gov
eminent to action and the system un-
der which thousand of BOer women
and children have persisted unnecessa-
rily Is to be changed.
The reconcentrado policy of England
in South Africa will be one of the dark
est chapters connected with the Boer
war. Even Secretary Broderick, under
whom they were instituted and main
tanned, does not defend them. The
death rate in them has been awful. In
six months 1894 persons persisted in
them. During one month 1856 deaths
of whites are recorded and of the vic
tins 1888 were children. The death
rate for six months approximates 253

long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

At the conclusion Of the civil war It
was quite dangerous to travel through
many localities in Kentucky. as they
were infested with robbers. Spencer

saved by his high silk hat.
Passing along the road. with a dense
wood On either side. he overheard hui
man voices. He refined up his horse
and heard a man say. we ought to
kill him: just look at that hat! Don't
you know he has money!" This
caused Mr.. Dabney great perturbation,
but another robber. evidently in COM
mand, said, 'Oh. HI, let him alone;
he hasn't a dollar. He invested every
cen he had in hat hat"
The words of the last speaker seemed
to be final. The traveller was not mo-
Tested and he always felt that he owed
his life on that occasion to the fact
that he wore a silk hat.

INFLUENCE OF THE LOBBY AT
WASHINGTON.

Senator Francis Z. Warren of Wyo-
ming contributes to Golfers Weekly
a brief and pointed article on the al
legged lobby evil at the national CAPT
tai.
Senator Warren say hat OF neces-
to congress has it's friends, and. in
many instances, its enemies. These
opposing forces work with more or less
persistence for or against the meas
uIes under consideration. The halls
Of the capitol are filled with men and
women eager to see certain members
al or philanthropic interest is felt. This
constitutes the visible lobby" about
which so much has been written, but
Senator Warren sees nothing harmful
in it, while the lobby of sensational lit
erature, reeking with stories Of vast
sums spent for votes, Is nothing but a
myth.
The harmlessness OF the lobby, ac-
cording to Senator Warren, is owing
to the construction Of our legislative
machinery. When 1t is considered that
a measure must overcome the protect
i've and restrictive means at the com.
mand Of the members of congress. of
committee members. Of the presiding
officer OF either branch, and OF the veto
power Of the president. it is apparent
that vicious bills have little chance Of
success.
There is much good sense in Sena-
tor Warren's summing Of Washington's
third house." but the public has never
taken any stock in the wild stories of
carnivals Of corruption, which have
been spread by sensational newspapers
and which will continue to be spread
as long as congress exists. Every
SAM citizen realizes that the so-called
visible lobby has no influence, and
that it should be abolished merely
from the standpoint Of dignity. But
the real reform that is demanded at
Washington is more<a question Of per-
sonal ethics than Of visible lobbies."
The people wish to be represented in
congress by men who will not accept
favors and gifts which are little in
themselves, but which smack Of insid-
ious influence. 1t Is the u~ndercurrent
Of free passes and other "courtesies'
which the people want to see shut of.
rather than the things that are in EVIL.
dence on the surface Of the lobby.
When such a result is accomplished
the people will believe that q long step
has been taken toward political purity
at Washington.-Denyer Republican.

Recently a Chinese boy was brought
into the Pekin Hospital terribly in
jured by a heavy log falling upon him.
The doctors, to save his life, decided
to cut off his leg. The mother came.
apparently. to help to nurse the lad.
The patient, however, almost imme-
diately afterward died. and expert ex-
animation showed that his mother had
given him arsenic. Her reason, 1t is
supposed. was to prevent ner son from
the disgrace Of reaching the next world
in a MANNED condition. This Is a very
strong point with the Chinese. who
always pickle an amputated member to
have 1t buried with them when they
eventually die. In this instance. the
family being poor and a whole leg
being difficult to pickle. the simpler
course was taken Of poisoning the boy.
