LAYS DOWN Till: LAW. Some time ago ex-Congressman Lels onilng called together a number of In fluential Republicans of the county, Including seeral In the foregoing list, and lnfoimed them that he wanted to be a candidate for governor If he could secure their co-opeiatlon In clinching one condition. "I want the next state delegates to be elected i m Interest and without pledges on any othei sub ject, " said he. "If I am to be a gtibe' natoilal candidate at all. It must be with the earnest support of my coun ty and I murt hae the power to use the next delegation at Hairisbtirg In ntch manner as will best advance my candidacy." This blunt proposition rather stag gered the men to whom It was ad lrc".ed, but after they had consulted together for a time, word was sent to the e:-congri.Esman that his demand would be consldeted pro Ided It flint lecelved the appioval of Congressman Morgan 15. "Williams. As one of the number said at the time: "Mr. Lels enring appeals to forget that the lead er In the saddle In thin county today Is not himself but the little congtessman whom ho defeated so roughly three yeais ago. I don't propose to go to Lelsenrlng for orders when It Is Will Jams who will heieufter hae the say in directing party local affairs." WILLIAMS CONSENTS. "Wlren this reply was returned to Mr. Lelsenrlng he exhibited a good many evidences that ho didn't lellsh It over much; but a few das' rellectlon must have convinced him that It was an .ultimatum, for he then began to bring Influences to play on Congressman "Williams to get him to consent to the foregoing airangement. The history of these negotiations would make In teresting reading if given In detail; but It Is heie sulllclent to say that Mr "Williams, who is a generous man and beais few grudges, at last acquiesced, and the word was forthwith passed along the line for the boys to whoop up the gubernatoilal prospects of the ex-member from Upper Lehigh. The real purpose of Fiiday's meet ing was to start out petitions uiglng Mr. Lelsenrlng to consent to the use of his name In a gubernatorial connec tion. It is believed that If the call of his compatriots Is sufllclently vigorous his consent will not long be withheld.

Long nnd Shoit Term Secretaries nnd .Somo ol'tlio Old Ones, Some of the teims of tho secretaries ol btate have been exceedingly short, falx of them serving les than elsht months each, the time of all aggregat ing not mote than two years. Of these shott-termers John W. Foster was In ollke longest, though he went out be fore completing nine months. AVash buine's Incumbency Is haidly worth te fenlng to, for Fish took his place at the expiration of a week. Fish re mained with Grant through both terms, and Is ono of tho very few eight-year nwn, In point of short sei vlce Jere IJlack comes next to Wash bume, following Cass on his resigna tion from Buchanan's cabinet but four months before the close of the adminis tration. Everett succeeded AVash burne In Fllmore's cabinet near the end of the teim, tho tlmo of his ser vice being only ono month gt eater than was niack's with Buchanan. The year was but half gone when Blaine gave way to Frellnghuysen, w...ch Is Carpets, Draperlos an-1 Wall Papers, 419 Lacka. Ave. about the length of time that Hugh Legate put In with Tyler. This list of short-termers, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, may be doubled by extending the time In of fice to a year or little beyond. It would then, include Hnndolph, Mar shall, McLaue, Upshur, Calhoun and Clayton. Among these twelve men, It will be noticed, are some brilliant minds. Of all the long line from Jef ferson to OIney, there huvo been but four -- i etarles of state who have gone with tho president through two terms. These weio Madison under Jeticrson, John Qulncy Adams under Monroe, Seward under Lincoln and Johnson, and Fish under Grant. Mon roo Is vcty nearly In the elght-venr class, and misses It only by the short teim that Itobert Smltn was with Ma dison at the beginning of his adminis tration. The terms of the rest vary from about two to six years. It Is a little singular, to say the least, that with the prestige of Ohio in polit ical history, John Sherman Is tho fltit of her sons to take the head of the cabinet. Ohio's llrst cabinet appoint ment came through her first president, when Harrison placed Tom Ewing In charge of the treasury department. Away back In the times of Madison and Monroe, Meigs and McLean were postermasters general, but this ofllce did not become a part of the cuolnct until after the latter's retirement. Nor has any secretary of the navy come from Ohio. Hayes piobably would have given her this distinction had he )i' t chosen Sherman for tho treasury, for he gave the ofllce llrst to Thomp son, and then to Golf, both of whom lived In Interior states Indiana and West Virginia. It had been Invariably the custom to take secretaries of the navy from seacoast states. Lewis Cass woa appointed to the war ofllce from Ohio by Jackson, but ho was not bom in Ohio, nor did he go Into Buchanan's cabinet from there. McKlnley is the llrst to break tho Ice with Sherman. Sheiman is chosen secretary of state from the senate, and Is tho seventeenth man w ho has been a senator before taking the first cabinet place. Pick ering, Clay, Everett and Evarts were made senators after serving as sec retaries. Cass and Sherman, the flrst of whom had also been In the senate, are the old heads of the cabinet. Cass proved that he was capable of vigorous mental effort at 7C and bcond. When the clouds of the rebellion were lower ing, Cass said to the president: "The forts in Chatleston harbor must be strengthened. I demand It." Buchan- an lefused and the next day the Bee- rotary resigned. This was In Decern- ber, 1SG0. Sevens days after. It was announced that South Carolina had adopted an ordinance of secession. The news brought ttars to the eyes of Lew Is Cass. "It Is all over," he said. "To God alone must we look In this hour of thick darkness " He was then near ly 79 years old. Sherman, at the end of McKlnley's term, will be 78. IS HE A LITEKAKV rAKHIt T Somo ItcmnrUs Upon tho Advent of Illchurd Lo Cnllicnnc. It Is said that Richard Le Gallienne Is coming to this countiy to lecture next year. If he docs, says the Rochester Democrat and Chionlcle, the measuie of hit- Mieeess or non-success will Indi cate also tho extent of the American capacity foi being humbugged. Mr. Le Gallienne Is a more accomplished poseur than ever was Oscar Wilde. He can get himself mote talked about for lesf work than any of the other British literary small fry. For a while Mr. Le Gallienne was a widower, and the way hi made his w Ife's death a means for keeping himself In evidence was a tri umph of tho art of self-advertising. Whonevvr the anniversary ot his en tiancv Into wldowethood came lound he used to send notices to all his friends, especially to those connected with the press, calling attention to the day and its sad significance to him. Not long ago, though, he married again; so this vein may beregaided ns worked out. Whcnhewasln New York a couple of yeais ago he complained that he could not sleep well because there were no trees In the vicinity of his hotel, to lull him to rest with the murmur of their bieeze-stlned foliage. One naturally lnfened that Mr. Le Gallienne was ac customed to tiees at home, pictured to one's self Mr. Le Galllenno's English icsldencu (is embowered In anctstral timber, and was rather Impres-scd. The fact was that there were no more trees about Mr. Le Galllenne's London habi tation than about his New York hotel, and that the vicinity of trees was not at ull essential to successful bluniber by Mr. Le Gallienne. But his plaint produced paragraphs and so served his turn. Mr. Lo Gallienne has never wiltten anj thing w oi th reading. His "Quest of the Golden GUI," over which so much nitlcnl Ink has been wasted. Is, though ..u.i ul m technle-. fals In thought nnd i iiment and ns feeble as falhe. Mr. Geoige W. Cable justly chaiacterlzes It as "ihe small, thin story and sayings of n dawdling, chattering, woman chasing pioUlgate whoso sulllclent Joy and achievements Is to spit as though by Innocent chance upon the gown ot common decency." Why Mr. Le Gallienne should fancy that there is any demand for him In Amcilca wc cannot Imagine. He must be uware, if he ever glances thiough the Ameilcan literal y journals and fr-'ak magazlr.elets, that we have a finite sulllclent home-giowth of be-par-agraphed lltowry weaklings, poseurs and humbugs. HOW TO KLDUOi: YOUK WKICIIT Just a Sluiplo Diet of Ilrown Urcnd ui.d I mils. It Is very foolish for persons to live on lean beef and water to reduce obesi ty, because this Is meiely starvation; and though they will cettalnly reduco their obesity by this method, they will also reduco their stieiiBth and bring" down their constitution. A slmplo diet of brown bread and fiults will reduce obesity far better than any nostrum, and the uood of this diet Is that It will In vigorate the body and keep up the strength'. Of couro the diet bhould be accompanied with pioper exercises w alkliiR Is the most suitable for fat peo ple, because lu It the whole hnd is ex ercised, and not one set of muscles at the oxpense of another. When the dishes are not unduly elaborate, people do not eat too much; when the diet Is plain nnd simple, they will take what they want. HIcli and elaborate cookery causes persons to eat moro than Is Rood for them, and lulngs an unduo obeslt; and main other disorders. Of couiee, all (at people tell you they are small eaters, but whatever they do eat they fut more than Is necessary to keep them in health and strength, and the extra Is packed on as fut that they do not want. Pereotu should not try to reduce themselves to emaciation; they should have sulllclent fat on their bodI8 to round off their angles and pre vent their bones stailnj; people In the face. Tho VeRetailan. A Wonderful Statement from Mr. McGllltii to Mr, rinkham. I think It my duty, dear Mrs. rinlc ham, to tell you what your wonderful Compound has done for mo, 1 was dreadfully 111 tho doctors said thev could euro mo but WTSfTTi. failed to do bo. I pave up In despair nnd took to my bed. I had dreadful pains In my heart, fainting- spells, W sparks bo fore my my eyes nnd some times I would get so blind, I could not see for several minutes. I could not stand very long without f eellng sick and vomiting1. I could not breatho a long breath without scream ing, my heart pained so. I also had femalo weakness, inflam mation of ovaries, painful menstrua tion, displacement of tho womb, itch ing of tho external parts, and ulcera tion of the womb. I have had all these complaints. The pains I had to stand were some thing dreadful. My husband told mo to try a bottle of Lydla K. l'lnkhnm's medicine, which 1 did, and after taking it for a while, was cured. No other kind of mcdlclno for mo as long as you make Compound. I hopo every woman vt ho suffers will take your Compound and bo cured. Mrs. J. S.

There was quite a marked undertone) of firmness on the Stock Kxchanxe today, but tho market feU the reflected depression of the London market on account of the outbreak of hos tilities on the GrecoTurklsh frontier. Tho opening was at a bomowhat higher range than current prices In tone and there wero Bales for foreign account of the Interna tional shares, The prices of theso wero bi ought down to tho London level soon after the opening. Both tho Grangers and tho Coalers wero pressed for sale and New Jersey Central nnd Delaware and Hudson lost a point each. The total sales of stocks were only about 85,000. Of theJe over 19,000 shares were of Chicago clas. I The bulng was good and the price rose to ' oa'i, the best la many weeks. This rlae stiffened and general market. Sugar ris ing Hi and Delaware and Hudson anl New Jersey Central covered tho decline. The railway list genra'.ly shared In the rally but not sufllclently so to overcome the early decline. Tho decrease of 64,017 In tho earnings for the first week In April of St. I'aul was a factor In tho early de cline of the Grangers. The closing was firm ut the rally, but most of tho stocks showed a slight net loss. Tho total sales of stocks today was 81,311. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN. AL LEN & CO.. stock brokers.
