IfKW YoltK, Aug. 2a. The Associated 1'iess
disjialches niiiinuneo positively that Secretary
Hoktf Smith has resigned from the (Viliinet,
and that President Cleveland 1ms accepted
tho resignation.
The resigjmtlon was not unexpected, as tho
policy of the paper controlled by Mr. Smith
has been such that it is eenenillv Cimrt'ilpil in
administration circles that the retiring Sec
retary is in favor of tho freo ami iinllt,!t,.,1
coinaee of silver at tho ratio of 111 to 1.
Tills position being in direct opposition to
tho views or the President, who has deelan d
111 favor of the present cold standard.
Secretary Smith could no longer remain a
member or the, Cabinet. His Mdtitn-, It..,,
caused little surprise.

with much interest. Tho many beneficial

it is believed to be the tlrst instanco in which
an old complaint has been given publicity.
The ease is one in which ono Josoph Kaz

St. Paul Society, of town, to recover two
weeks sick benefits amounting to fin. Tho
easo was heard hefnio Justice Green last
night ami M. M. Hurke. Esq., in making
argument before the Justice in behalf of thn
society, stated that the case was only an
eruption of what has liei'll II vnll r, of .,, .,
ance to many organizations in tills region for
sovcral years and that he believed sonio good
woum no attained by the suit if it only gavo
warning to Impostors that the people roalized
the crooked work that was goinx on among
certain classes who seem to join beneficial
organizations only fur the cash they can
drain from It. Mr. Burko said the St. Peter
& St. Paul Society was not trying to avoid
payini! tho small sum nf ten ,l,.llr l..,.
was willing to spend ten times the amount to
squelch tho well-to-do sick mini. lTl.Sllill tlin
society had spent hundreds of dollars in sick
nenenis annually anil there was reason to
believe that it had been imposed upon and in
tl 10 present raso it hail been ills..,,v,.n..i !.,..
while drawing benetits tho claimant had been
uniiKing intoxicants in saloons. Mr. Burko
also stated that the claimant liml re
ceived about $200 in benefits from the
society, that he was a member of two other
organizations and when sick his combined
receipts amounted to more than the man
