PLAINFIELD.

Edward Elliott, monologist, from the
White entertainment bureau of Boston
will give "rhe Lion and the Mouse" It
the opera house Tuesday evening, Dee.
81. Mr.. Elliott is master of his craft,
impersonating the various characters so
that the audience is made to see the
play as wildly almost as though acted
by company of players. He has made
this work a study for over twenty years.
Mr.. Elliott makes of his plays an en-
tertainment Of purpose, a sermon with
out preaching, drama without the
theatre. This entertainment is not one
of the course that is being given here
this winter. As Mr.. Elliott was to give
an entertainment in this vicinity, it did
not seem advisable to miss the opportu-
nifty of hearing this artist OF splendid
ability. Tickets for the entertainment
may be secured at the drug store for
25 cents.

"clsan Up" Expected.

Washington, July 5.-When Presi-
dent Taft and his cabinet meet on
Tuesday next the disruption OF the
treasury force OF division and bureau
chiefs will be thoroughly threshed out.
The president will lay before the cabi-
net the letter written to Mr. Taft and
the one written to Secretary MacVeagh
by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
A. Piatt Andrew, who resigned upon
request Of the president.
Secretary MacVeagh in a statement
given out at Lancaster, Mass, yester-
day, declared that the resignation OF
Assistant Secretary Andrew was not
submitted until 1t had repeatedly been
requested by both Mr.. MacVeagh and
President Taft. The secretary said that
Mr.. Andrew pleaded to be retained In
the service and brought every possible
influence to bear to have the request
for his resignatio withdrawn.
Demands Loyalty to Maevsagh.
Every bureau chief mentioned by
Secretary Andrew in his letter to
President Taft-Director Of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing Ralph.
Treasurer Lee McClung. Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Cabeii and Comp
troller Murray-will be given an OPP
porunity at Tuesdays conference to
declare allegiance to Secretary Mac
Veagh or to resign from the service.
President Taft has come to a definite
stand on the row between his secretary
and the latters subordinates. He will
demand fealty to the secretary regard
less of what grievances are held by
these bureau chiefs.
In other words. President Taft has
disregarded the pleadings of Senator'S
Crane, Lodge. Smoot and Gallinger and
will go ahead and act in the matter In
accordance with the views Of the row
as expressed by Secretary Mac Veagh.
Secretary MacVeagh informed the
president several days ago Of the long
standing feud between himself and his
assistant secretary and, like Mr. An
drew, put the question up to the presi-

and a set Of resolutions which will give
large crumbs Of comfort to the pro-

The suggestion has not been worked
