PERKINS MAY BE
THE NEXT SPEAKER

TRENTON, Oct. 15.--The probable
official makeup of the next legisla-
ture is a matter that is now attract
ing considerable attention from the
republican leaders. The latest plan
and one which is likely to be adopted
by the party caucuses is to make
Senator Thomas j. Hillery, of Morris,
president of the senate, and Assem-
blyman Randolph Perkins, of Union,
speaker of the house. This is the
original plan SO far is the senate is
concerned, but is a change in the
house, the first idea being to give the
s~peakership to Assemblyman Alfred
N. Barber, of this city, who will be
asked to serve as majority leader on
the floor. Mr.. Perkins is recognized
as the logical candidate for speaker,
inasmuch as he was floor leader last
winter.
No one has yet been selected for
leader of the senate majority, and all
of the minor places r yet to be
agreed upon. s

TERRIBLE SckLY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken
 out-Cured by Cuticura.

T had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards. so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. l at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Gutieura Remedies. in which 1 had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption ap- peared again. only a little lower; but before it had time 10 spread I pro- cured another supply of the cutieura Remedies. and continued their use un- til the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack. and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Reme- dies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma F Wilson, Lis comb.
