A ihim.ar a plate for asparagus is pretty costly as an article of food, but the charge is made that memliers of the Lexow investigating committee paid that price at the Philadelphia hotel at which they stopped.

UNQl-EOTtoXARLY, the Indebtedneai of the Pacific railroad to tlio govern ment, amounting, ns it does, to hun dreds of millions of dollars, ought to lxj settled, but it seems almost impossi ble to pet a plan through Congress that will satisfy the interests of justice. In uny event, however, it is plain that the (jovernment will lose a great deal of money, and it is hoped that the action finally agreed upon will not compel the Ciovernment to go into the business of running any of the properties. That would be a real disaster. The recent visit of Senators 0,uay and Penrose, President McCarrell, of the Senate, and Speaker Boyer, of the House, to President-elect McKinley, at his home in Canton, Ohio, has revived the discussiou of the jossible selection of a member of the new cabinet from Pennsylvania. In this connection the Philadelphia Times of Monday says editorially: It is known that the four prominent Pennsylvania liepublican leaders who vWted McKinley last weeek, united in pressing the apiMintmeut of Oovernor Hastings for a Cabinet position, pre sumably that of Postmaster General. That he would till the place with credit to himself, to bis State and to the coun try will not be doubted; but it is hard ly to be exjected that any definite de cision will be reached for some time by the President on the subject, in view of ttie many changes which have been, and which may yet lie, made in fram ing his Cabinet. Political necessities may arise before the Cabinet list shall Lie completed necessitating the omis sion of Pennsylvania. As there afe forty-five States and only eight Cabinet positions to assign, no one State cau make a demand uH.m a President for a Cabinet otlicer, and beyond the announcement of Mr. Sher man as Secretary of State, we have reason to believe that no selection has K-en made for Cabinet honors. The United States Senators from Pennsyl vania, lieing in Nlitical accord with the Slate administration ami the Leg islature, and with probably nine-tenths of the Republican Congressmen, will certainly lie much respected in assum ing to sjieak for the State. They may not le able to obtain a Cabinet officer, but it poes without saying that no Cab inet otlicer will lie apjointed from Pennsylvania who does not commaud their approval. Ilevond this we take it that nothing is known definitely aliout Cabinet honors being awarded to our State. Cleveland and KcKinley. "VVashixotox, January 11. President Cleveland has shown an unusual court esy to President-elect McKinley. Dur ing the past few weeks the retiring Kxec utive has forwarded to the man who is to s-icceod him every state paper and every Tieial document coni-ernitigthe business of this administration which might be of value to tlirt next. The treaty with (Jreat ISritain was in Major McKinley's hail. Is long before the newspapers got it. and a great mass of stulT aliout Cuba which has never reached the public has been forwarded to Mr. McKinley with Mr. Cleveland's compliments. In fact, the two have been in corre spondence ever since election day, and it is proper to say that they are better friends now than any other two men ever have been uu.ler similar circu:ii-.tain-es. Mr. Cleveland has had a good deal of experience, Itoth as a retiring ami as ait incoming President, aud he has been in a position lately to give the Major a great many oints. That he has not failed to take advantage of his opportunity is evi dence! by the fact that the President elect is right now in p;sssion of more state secrets than even Secretary Olney will transmit to his sm-cessor when the day of the great chantro conies. The meeting between Mr. Cleveland and Major McKinley on the 4ih of March will be one of more than ordinary signifi cance, because the developments of th past few weeks have brought thein closer together than the ordinary course of events would in as many years. A Finger Tar Er JT. It l dun to the skillful mirgery ofPr. Joseph P. Tunis, of Philadelphia that Mrs. John Edwards, of Chester, ban a nose like anybody else. The third finger is missing from Mrs. Edwards' right band, but it is now a part of her face, for it was grafted there to form a new none for her. Mrs. Edwards was admitted to the Methodist Episcopal hospital late In the fall to be treated for a cancerous growth. This ailment was carefully treated and checked, but it had left an unsightly blemish where the patient's nose had been. M rs. Edwards grieved a great deal over the facial disfigurement, and when Ir. Tunis suggested a remedy ahe imme diately agreed to undergo the operation by means of which one of her fingers was to le made to take the place of her nose. The patient was etherized and the oper ation was liegun. Dr. Tunis cut otfthe end joiul of the third finger of ber right hand, and disarticulated the remaining two liones. The baud was held in posi tion over Jifrs. Edwards face, and the boneless flenh was laid over the damaged nose aud stitched to the face, Bandages of crinoline, spread with plaster of Paris were wrapped about the patient's body, holding the arm firmly In place. The band and remaining fingers were padded to prevent maceration of the face, and for three weeks Mrs. Edwards remained in that position. Her band almost entirely covered ber face, and it was necessary to feed ber by means of a tube inserted into the left corner of her mouth. Occasional ly the bandages were removed, but the hand was never allowed to change Its position. The finger was finally firmly grafted to the face. It was then treated with a preparation of cocaine and was severed from the band. Both wounds were dress ed, and the patient was none the worse for the operation. She was much better off, as a matter of fact, for the new nose was quite as good as the average person's. The nasal passages, which had not been affected by the cancerous ailment, bad been packed with iodoform gauze, aud the nostrils were thereby preserved. Mrs. Edwards has left the hospital with a new nose, hardly less perfect in form than her original one. Thoma C. Piatt dominated for United States Senator. Tlie Hon. Thomas C. Piatt has been nominated for United States Senator by the Republicans in the New York Legislature, which is equivalent to an election. There can be nothing but kind words said for the statesman who made such a gallant ficht at the St. iouis convention wnen mere wasa dis position among some of the trimmers to straddle on silver so as not to offend the Western advocates of free coinage. It was Mr. Piatt, aided by Senators OJay and Lodge, who made the con test and wou, and he showed superior statesmanship iu doing so. In 1SS1 when Mr. Piatt resigned from Congress it was predicted that his political career had closed, and that he would go down like Iloseoe Conkling. Mr. Piatt has not only pone up, but in his ascendan cy he has kept a firm lold of the lie publican reins, and by his persistent work has swung New York in the Re publican column for all time. The new Senator has leen described as the I "easy boss," and he has the faculty of fliakingand boi ling friends who are only too glad to aid him joiit!ca!Iy. He will lie warmly welcomed in the Sonata. LmiTKXAXT Governor Lyon is pre paring an anti-high hat and Unmet bill, to be presented to the Iislature, says the Harrisburg Th-;ap:i. It is supjiosc-d that Mr. Lyou has had occa sion to go out between acts aud walk up aud down the corridor to cool oft" after sitting behind one of these mon strosities ct the theater. Let the bill pass if woman can not practice coni m n sense and remove her hat in the theater. The time for cheating a man out of the price of admission by depri ving him of a sight of lb.- .tug has gone by, and man will be emancipated. Th e caucus of the liepublican mem bers of the New York legislature nom inated Mr. Thomas C. Piatt for United States Senator to succeed Senator Hill. Tie Trip to be Inaugurated. President-elect McKinley has made his wants known relative to how ho w ishes to go to Washington. His moth er, wife, brother and nieces will accom pany him. On account of the age of his mother, Mr. McKinley has ma.le a spe cial request of the Pennsylvania Com pany that the train !earing the Presiden tial party to Wa-hington will run on a slow schedule, iu order not to have too great a strain on the old lady. Mr. McKinley has nested that, if possible, the special train leave Canton at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of March 1st, and the running time to he arranged so that the train will arrive in Washington a'lout 11 a. nu March 2J. Major McKinley's escort will leave about four or five hours Wore the Presi dential train, in order that the former may arrive in ashiugton in time to get olTthe dust of travel and make a present able apjiearance when they escort Major McKinley from the depot to the Ebbitt Hoase, where bis quarters have been engaged. Mr. McKinley's train will consist of twoprivato cars, one of which will be used by himself and family; two sleeping cars, one baggage car, a dining car, and a car for the transportation of the com mittee aud newspaper oorresondenLs. Proposed Primary Election Law. Senator Brown, of Westmoreland coun ty, is preparing a bill, which be will in troduce at Harrisburg, regulating prima ry elections. The proposed law will make it the duty of the officers of the general election to conduct the primaries. They will receive ?l per day from the county treasurer. All boards are made up of Re publicans and Democrats, and in this way the Seuator believes that an impar tial count w ill be secured. At a Repub lican primary the Democrats will lie a check on that party and at a Democratic primary the tables will tie turned. A party that can have a primary under Senator Brown's bill must have polled at least five per cent, of the largest vote cat fr state or national officers at the last election. This will bar out every body but the Republicans aud Iemoerats. The bill also forbids the holding of the primaries of two parties on the same day. The party having polled the largest vote at the preceding state election will be en titled to bold the first primaries. The minority party, however, will at least be given time to bold its primaries within fifteen days of its regular time for hold ing the elections. The bill bars an elector from voting at more than one primary. Now it is a fre quent occurrence for some RemooarLs aud Republicans to vote at the primaries of both parties. If a person votes mora than once under this measure be is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to a tine of Jf'iK) or three months in jail or both. Senator Brown considers the election board feature of his bill a good one. Under the present system the election boards are made up of all kinds of people and often appointed to serve without the authority of anyone. Often they are not sworn, and even when they are they bav little regard for the oath they take. ' Th Arbitration Treaty. The President has transmitted to the Senate the arbitration treaty agreed upon between Secretary Olney on the part of the United States, and Sir Julliun rau nee forte on the part of the British government. Among other tbiugs the President says: "I transmit herewith a treaty for the arbitration of all matters of difference between the United Slates and Great Britain. The prpvisious of the treaty are the result of long and patient delileration, and represent concessions made by each party, for the sake of agreement upon the general scheme. I Tnough the result reached may not meet the views of the advocates of imme diate, unlimited aud irrevocable, arbitra tion of all international controversies, it is, nevertheless, confidently ' believed that the treaty ean not fail to bo every where rooignized as making a long step in the right direction, and as embodying a practical working plan by which dis putes between the two countries will reach a peaceful adjustment as a matter of course and in ordinary routine. The experiment of substituting civil ized methods for brute force as the means of settling international questions of right will thus be tried under the happiest au spices. Its sucss ought not to be donbt fuL, and the fact that its ultimate ensuing benefits are not likely to be limited to the countries immediately concerned should cause it to be promoted all the more eagerly. The example set and the lesson furnished by the successful opera tion of this treaty are sure to be felt aud taken to heart sooner or later by other nations and will thus mark the begin ning of a new epoch in civilization." Following are the terms of the treaty as published : First A term of five years from the date of the exchange of ratifications with in which the treaty shall be operative. Second A court of arbitration of six members, three to be drawn from the judiciary of the Uuited States and three from the judiciary of Great Britain. Third The submission to this tribunal of all differences between the two nations now pending or to arise within the pe riod of five years. This not to include the Behring sea question or the Venezue lan question now before the independ ent commissions, but to include the ques tion of the boundary between Alaska aud North America.

The dyspeptics of every clime and nation owe a debt of gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this continent, in Europe and the tropicM, this sterling remedy is pre-eminently and justly popular, not only as a stomachic, but also as a means of prevent ing and curing malarial, rheumatic, ki 1 ney, bilious ami nervous disorders. It improves appetite and sleep, hastens con valescence aud the acquisition of vigor after exhausting maladies, and counter acts the infirmities of age.

There are several important rulings on the pension laws in recent decisions of A ss i sta n t-Secretary-of-th e-1 n terior Rey nolds. One is that desertion from the Regular Army, under an enlistment sub sequent to a service in and an honorable discharge from, the War of the Rebellion, is nt a bar to pension under the Act of June 27th. The original holdings of the previous Administration in first constru ing this act and all subsequent decisions have been overruled. It is reiterated that, in harmony with the plain terms of the June Art and all previous decisions, dishonorable dis charge operates as a bar to pension to the soldier or his widow and children under that act, but it is not a bar to such pen sion under the general law for disabili ties contracted in the service or for death from causes originating therein. This is in liue with a long established practice. A Fiendish Act New York, Jan. IS. Joseph Bloch, a fnrrier, was called to the door of bis office in a factory in Brooklyn to-day and struck on the head with a bludgeon. His skull was crushed and death ensued in a short time.

Baltimore, January IS. The trial of one of the most remarkable cases in the criminal annals of Maryland was licgiiu and concluded in the criminal court to day. The defendant wasa woman who was indicted in the Charles county court as an accessory to the murder of her hus band. The most damaging ti-stiin.'tiy against the woman was expected to couio from a man who was convicted of tin) murder and on whom the death sentence had been passed. In a confession made the day follow ing bis conviction and scnteiieo to death for the murder or James J. Irwin, tieorge Matthews declared that he had been in cited to the crime by Mrs. Emma Irwin, and together they had planned nnd exe cuted it. It was believed that his testi inony, along with circumstantial evi dence from other quarters, might bring the death sentence down on the widow of the murdered man. But wben Matthews was put on the stand to-day he refused to testify against her or even to le sworn iu the case. i After Matthews had refus d to testify the state closed its case. The defense did not even give any evidem-e and the case was given to the jury without argument. Without leaving their seats the jurors found and gave in their verdict of not guilty.

Luis Somcillan, the naturalized American citizen, who was arrested on a charge of conspiracy against the Spanish Government, and who was found guilty by the tribunal before which be was tried, was arraigned to-day for the purpse of being sentenced. The Court imposed upon the unfortunate man the awful penalty of being Imprisoned for lifo in chains. Counsel for the prison er gave notice of an appeal to theSupreuie Court at Madrid against the decision of the tribunal which declared Somcillan guilty.
