Governor Wilson IEecpinq Mum.

National Tribune, w, shington. d.
c.: Politics? Yes, as Of old Washing
ton oozes politics, but just now it is
cheap stuff. All troubles are in the
White House and in Congress,
wrangling and jangling under the
stress of closing days. 1t is still the
Istory of nobody knows" as far as
the personnel of the new admins
tratlon is concerned. Governor Will
son Is keeping his own counsel,
probably very wisely, and all the
good things are reserved for the
days of early March. Look then ev-
cry morning for the names of those
who have drawn grand prizes. They
do say that the names of the Cabi-
net will not be made public till one
of the assistant secretaries at the
White House offices starts in his
automobile for the capitol with a
large portfolio containing the nomi-
nations.
If it should be thus, how the wires
will wriggle and rattle with the
clicking of the telegraph keys! How
the ponderous machinery in the
newspaper offices will clang and
thunder in rushing special editions
to the public! And the long era of
speculation and conjecture and sus-
pense will be terminated. The
would-be critics, who would have
protested and petitioned and man.
Ouvered to pull down the man about
to be hoisted into prominence, will
be thwarted in some measure. With
great momentum the new admins
tratiOn will forge ahead, and in IS
hours-yea, in less time than that
the chroniclers will be n the habit
OF "reminiscences as to how things
were when the SiXty-secOnd Con-
gress was in session, and when Will
liam H. Taft was President, by gum.
Thus it always has been at Wash
ington, and thus it probably will be
many years to come at the advent
of administrations yet unborn.

Alcohol Tends to Suicide

As related from Paris, France, the
famous Bertillon has gathered sta
tistics seemingly proving the fol-
lowing with respect to the infu-
ences Of work and professions or
health:
Consumption-Very rare in agri-
cultural laborers and among pro-
fessionals; rare among storekeepers
coal miners, iron miners. Frequent
among laborers that have to do with
alcoholic beverages. Twice as many
walters, hotel keepers, ETC., die of
consumption after their 55th year
than members of other trades and
professions. avs
Cancer-Seldom attacks farmers,
mine workers, railroad men; fire.
quent among stablemen, drivers,
brewers and sailors.
Diabetes-Frequent among physi-
clans, lawyers, druggists, parsons
and priests, butchers and drummers.
Nervous Diseases-Are frequent
among liquor dealers, brewers and
matters.
Suicide is most frequent among
parties having to do with alcohol,
BARRIERS and butchers, glass work
ers, metal workers and drivers,
while railroad men rarely commit
suicide. Among the learned profess
sions drug store men and physicians
are given most to self-destruction.
Priests and parsons are as a rule
healthy people and suicide is almost
unknown among them.

There is an almost unknown circum-
stance in the life history of Speaker
Champ Clark that deserves to rank
with the ever green story of Demos

with mouthful of pebbles. Speaker
Clark bears the reputation of having
the clearest enunciation in the house
of representatives and of being the
most easily understood speaker in that
cody.

said the speaker in explanation of his
clear diction, "my father determined
to train me to talk without mounting

ALMOST TURNED THE TRICK
Clever Scheme Of English smuegIers
Only Frustrated by Luck at the
Last Moment.

One OF the most ingenious of SNUG
Cling tricks was that originated by
band of clever Partisan rOgues recent
ly. A coffin supposed to contain the
dead body of a man who had died OF
eiphtheria, was dispatched from the
gay city for burial in London. 1t was
met at the railway terminus In that
country, and conveyed at nightfall to a
house not far from the Mile End road,
WhitechapeI. Everything would have
passed off as desired and planned had
not a policeman on duty become sus-
picious on seeing a particularly large,
coffin being taken out of a hearse in
to house that was known to be the
habitation of men who had done penal
seryitude.
After the funeral party had shut
their door and the hearse had driven
away, the policeman secured assistance
and knocked at the door. 1t was found
that the coffin, instead OF containing
corpse, was filled tightly with cakes
Of tobacco, dozens of boxes Of cigars.
and other excisable goods. The
"mourners'' were Immediately arrested
and the goods confiscated.
