TREASURY POST A MYSTERY

New York. Feb. cleo, William H. Taft today completed his | cabinet by the offer of the treasury portfolio, and Its acceptance. That the | offer was made to and accepted by Franklin MacVeagh. of Chicago. Is as l near positive statement of what Is believed to be the fact, as may be fusal by MT. Taft to throw any light on the situation.
 It Is vaguely hinted that there are things to be accomplished in Washing ton before an announcement may be properly made. Mir. Taft gave a bold hint tonight that it might be possible for him to divulge the identity of his latest cabinet acquisition in the imme- date future, but he at once qualified the hint with an expression of doubt.
 1t May He Hepburn.
 In spite of the strong belief that Mir. MacVeagh had been offered the treas- ury portfolio. and had already. or would accept, there were reports that the name of A. B. Hepburn of New York, former Comptroller of the Cur rency, had figured largely in the con- ferences on the subject. It was de- clared that should anything arise to eliminate Mir. MacVeagh from the list, as 1t Is now understood to stand, Mr. Hepburn would be selected to take his place.
 Mir. Taft's request brought Frank H Hitchcock from Washington early to- day and the two were in lengthy con- ference twice. c. P. Taft who got here from Cincinnati this morning, al 90 participated in the first conference
 Mr. Taft began the day by attending the funeral of President Roosevelt's nephew, young Douglas Robinson.
 James R. Sheffield, President of the Yale Alumni of this city. obtained MT Taft's promise to come here and ad- dress the association on March IS, next. Other callers were William Nell son Cromwell E. c. Ogden and Book CT T. Washington. Mrs. Taft Joined her husband from Philadelphia. The two were guests at dinner tonight of Mir and Mrs. George Wickersham, Mir. Taft's Attorney General, and later with them witnessed the play "The Gentle. man from Mississippi" at the Bijou Theatre

feet long and 10 feet wide, will be To-
Gated at Pearl harbor. Hawaii, where
the great naval base for the ships OF

The aMovlna Picture Exe.D

The oculist as well as others have
discovered a new disease which they
have named the moving picture eye.
1t IS an affection Of the eyes which
comes from too great familiarity with
the five-cent theaters. where the en-
tertainment is largely by means Of
moving pictures. Individually ! have
experienced the trouble, but so sell
dom as to mean nothing But others
have told me that half hours stay in
moving picture theater always gave
them a headache and that headache
must have come through the instru-
mentality OF the eye. 1t Is well known
that specialists often associate head
aches and kindred troubles to defective
vision It looks to me as II the mat
ter rested upon pretty fair foundations

Not So Very Precious.

A New York hotel is going to have
enough gold dishes to serve dinner
of seven courses to rs persons. or
course, this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also TO Bel
shazzar. But there was a time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
introduction of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers Of the
day as prodigality, and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, it is in such gen
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons, forks and drinking vessels
that the use of silver must represent.
as compared with the previous Gus
toms, about as great an increase OF
expenditure as the use of a gold din
ing service does now. The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.--Philadelphia Record

For Meter inspection.
And this we will do.

ITO the Editor of the Republican Sir:
 Pending a solution of the lighting question in Phoenix that will be satis- factory to consumers, permit me to suggest that the city council can take long step toward reform by provid- ing for regular and reliable inspec- tion of all electric and gas meters by a competent officer of the city.
 AS matters stand, consumers never know whether their bills are correct or excessive, except as they draw in ferences by comparison. While we are supposed now to have the advantage of a reduced rate, it seems that in many cases, at least, this reduction is theoretical only. In other words, the bills seem to be as big as ever. It may be that the meters are at fault, and it may be that the reading of them is not correct. It may be that zealous employees are anxious to show undi- unfinished revenues At any rate. in spection of meters by public official would enable us to know whether we are getting what we pay for.
 CONSUMER"
 The suggestions contained in the foregoing letter. while not new, are timely and good. Adequate public in- spection of meters is something the the people should have. By examin- ing the ordinances and regulations on the subject that are in force in pro- gressivssli!ies, tE council would en-

Democratic Worries
of cancer

Senator Overman. of North Caro- lima, thinks the nomination of Roose- welt by the republicans in 1912 is in- evitable, and he proposes as the democratic slogan:
 Washington wouldn't;
 Grant couldn't;
 Roosevelt shant.
 The North Carolina senator. like many other people, is disturbed just now by midnight visions "Roose- welt and a third term" and it is nota- ble that practically all this disturb ance is in democratic breasts. Neither the republican party nor the country is worrying any at present over the question of the nominee three years hence. And Senator Overman and his party associates will have to ac- complish something more than the invention of slogan" if they hope to make it interesting for the repub- licans in the next campaign-they will have to find a candidate of presi- dential size.

A MODERN FEuDAL LORD.
Decease of Gen. lglesias Means De
 parture of Medieval System.

An interesting South American char acter. type of civilization that has largely disappeared died at Lima. Pe- ru, on Monday in the person of Gen. Higuel Iglesias He lived on an estate of 2.400 square miles which had been in his family since 1547. or within for ty years of the date of the conquest of Peru by Pizarro. There were 20.00O head of cattle on this estate and a pop ulation of about 1000 persons over whom Inglesias ruled as absolute lord. He made and enforced their laws, pro- vided for their education and moral welfare, and never had a rebellion. Drunkenness on any day but Easter Sunday was punishable by a fine of 8. A wife-beater was punished by S2 fine. The fines collected largely supported the schools. It was the life of the feudal lords of the Middle Ages brought down into the twentieth cen Jury.
 Gen. Inglesias took prominent part in the government of the country, par ticularly at the time of the war with Chilli He was secretary of the treas ury and of war when hostilities began. He conducted the defense of Lima in so determined a manner as to win high commendation. After the surrender he made his escape and immediately began efforts to secure peace at any price. It was through him mainly that a treaty finally was concluded with the victo rious Chileans. He was elected provi- sional president of the country. but his rule was disputed by Gen. Andres Ca ceras. who headed the party which wished to continue the war. A civil conflict between Iglesias and Caceres resulted. in which Iglesias was defeat ed. He retired for a time to Europe, but later returned to his estate. which he rarely left thereafter. even to at tend to sessions of the congress. of which he was a member. He was s7 years old when he died.-Buffalo Ex- press

AT 7s SHE LIKES FOOTBALL

Mothers in New York may be thank ful enough that the football season is over. but Mrs. A. D. Winship of Racine, Wis, is an utter stranger to the feelings that dominate them She is 19 years young and a freshman in Columbus University, where she has entered for two courses of psychology and one of English literature, but even more remarkable than her thirst for knowledge is the enthusiasm for foot ball she manifested on every oppor- tunity throughout the season. With her spectacles firmly planted on her nose, her gray hair neatly drawn back from her benignant brow. she was a prominent figure among the "rooters" at every game played on the home grounds. Her presence at first ridiculed by the other students of her class, was so much taken for granted before the end of the season that it would have been missed seriously had she stayed away from any game. It is pleasant to know her zeal for athletics did not interfere with her studies and that she stands an excellent chance of getting her diploma before she is much more than S0-New York Press.
