"It the Cabinet may properly bo con
ridered as tho candidate to succeed the
president." These remarks were made
by a gentleman whose relations with
the administration are close. Contin
bing ho said: "At a recent Cabinet
meeting, it was proposed as a bit of fun,
that each menber of the Cabinet should
write his preference for President on a
slip ot paper and drop it in a hat with,
no mark to distinguish the. writer of one
slip from another. Eight flips were
prepared the president was not, of
course, asked to join in the game, al
though he was an amused spectator, and
distributed. Upon each, a member of
the Cabinet wrote a name and dropped
U into a hat. After shaking them up,
they were, turned out upon the table
and" the laughable fact had discovered
that the Cabinet had eight candidates,
instead of one, every member having
chost-n p. different man. There was
much enjoyment over the episode and
it was jocnfarlyagreed that the Cabinet
"would hive to get together, if it hopes
t name the winner I would like to
V!l the eiaht names written, but that
would never do. I nave only told this
much to show that the administration
at this time has no candidate."
Confidence is expressed in official cir
cles that the explanation made by Sec
retary Hay to the Russian Ambassador,
t ) put a stop to the tariff war'wifch Rus
na, before it goes any further, but the
t-xmo confidence is not felt by the gen
eral public.
Secretary Hitchcock says preparations
for the opening to settlement of the In
dian reservations in Oklahoma, are
about completed, and it is understood
that work on the president's proclama
tion, announcing the date for the peu-
in, has been started.

Gates, chairman of the American Steel
tktid Wire company, was the other day
Netted a member ot the New York
took exchange, his Admission belnjr
marked by a mial of the "haalntr" ot
new members, which lately ha beea
somewhat neglected.
Mr. Gates, who Is a quiet young man,
was warned by some of hi friends of
what he might expect when he ap
peared on the floor and accordingly he
prepared for a hearty reception by
wearing his old clothes and three or
four collars. Prokers, learning of these
preparations, made preparations them
selves, first, however, assuring Mr.
Gates that "out of respect for the gov
ernos of the exchange he would be let
ctt easy." Encouraged by this assur
ing taJk, Mr. Gates at two o'clock ven
tured upon the floor, where he was re
ceived in a manner to him quite enthus
siastlcally unnecessary.
One member seized him by the right
arm, another by the left. Another by the
coat collar, and numerous others
w heresoever the y could lay their hand
upon him. Then, none too gcnWy.they
puided him to the steel and wire trad
ing post, where he was welcomed most
affectionately. One broker embraced
him; Another, desirous of a menwnto.
snatched one of Mr. Gates' collars off;
two other members grappled for other
collars, while In the meantime small
sized riots were being held over the re
mains of Mr. Gates" hat and tie.
A few moments later a dilapidated
looking individual emerged from a
group of scuffling, perspiring brokers.
It was Mr. Gates.

Miss Ifelen, Miller Could has, in .a
modest way, entered the literary field.
In the Murch number of Success there
is a brief article from her pen on a
subject known to be close to her heart,
"The Saving of the Soldier and the
Sailor." In it she tells, in a simple,
practical way, of tie work that the
women's-auxiliary intends to do In the
new shore honn for the jolly jack tar,
which is nearing completion just out
i side of the Brooklyn navy yard, ajid
into which Miss Gould has cheerfully
put about $J0C,000. She Invites the co
operation of patriotic American wom
en in helping along the good work.
Mis Gould says: ,
"Nowhere in the range of uplifting
activities does there exist a better field
for usefulness than in the Improvement
of the social surroundings of the en
listed men of the army and navy. This
is the semi-patriot io work in which
the ladies of the women's auxiliary of
the international committee of the
Young Men'sChristian association hat
been enearzed since 1SQ9."

If Evelyn S. Baldwin, the arctic ex

Northrop, of St. Loui3, he will use the
American-built bicycles in preference
to deg sledges in making his "ath
the north pole. According to Mr,
Northrop's brother, who is at present
at Dawson, the silent sU-ed can outstrip
the fleetest dog that ever raced under
the driver's lash.
Mr. Northrop called on the explorer
the other day at Chicago. He carried

far-off Alaska, in which the latter de
clared that he had ridden from the
northern terrnmus of the White Pass
railway to Dawson in six days, averag

trip was made over the ice and frozen
wastes in the middle of January and
the traveler suffered comparatively lit

Prof. C. IT. Shaw, an antiquarian of
Chicago and now a resident of Phoe
nix, Ariz., recently discovered a neck
lace consisting of 28 large blue' tur
quoise ttones, unusually rare for size,
beauty and value. The stones were dis
covered In an apartment in a ruin near
Casa Grauda containing stone slabs
with inscriptions and writings. The
necklace, stone slubst iid crude im
plements buried in the ruins, as well
as many other turquoise stones inter
spersed in the mound, have been moved
to Shaw's private museum. Prof. Shaw
believes this necklace to have once been
a feature of a royal prehistoric treas
ury, discovered in the. dwelling of a
king. -
