rrHEY'RE_NOT.WODTS. Ordinary Occurrence Worked Into a Sensation "by Some Papers. CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE. Ron tine Appointment of an Acting Secretary Construed Into a Retirement of ' the Secretary of the Treasury—Mr. Cleveland Talks About a “Batch of Silly ; Misstatements’* —Bond Sale. Washington, Nov. 15.—The statement stmt out yesterday that Assistant Secretary Hamlin had been designated by the president as acting secretaryx>f the treasury for six months was sefzed upon in some quarters as a sensation. There is nothing sensational in it. The designation of Mr. Hamlin to act as secretary is in continuation of a custom which has prevailed in the treasury department ever since Mr. Carlisle has been secretary, - Each of the three assistants serves in this capacity for half a year in rotation, and as acting secretary they sign all papers of a routine character, thus relieving the secretary from this onerous duty. This official designation is necessary under the law, which requires that certain specified papers shall be signed either by the secretary or an acting secretary. Mr. Carlisle does not contemplate leaving Washington, but much of his time for the next two weeks will be devoted to the preparation of his annual report. The attention of the president was called to the statement in certain newspapers to the effect that there had been a disagreement between him and Mr. Carlisle in regard to the issue of bonds and other matters, and intimating that such disagreement might result in the secretary’s retirement. , Mr. Cleveland Speaks Plainly. The president emphatically denied the entire “batch of silly misstatements” and said: “Never since our association together has there been the slightest unpleasantness or difference concerning the affairs of the treasury department or any other matter. I have every reason to believe that his attachment to me is as sincere and great as mine is for him. I should be afflicted if anything should cause him to entertain the thought of giving up his position where he is doing so much for his country. “We have agreed exactly as to the issue of bonds, and there has been no backwardness on his part on that subject. I see it is said that lam formulating a financial scheme. If such a Scheme is presented it will be the work of the secretary of the treasury and I shall indorse and support it. The trouble seems to be that those charged with the executive duties of the government do not appear willing at all times to take counsel of the newspapers and make public all they intend to do.” NEW BONDS. They Will Be Printed From the Same Plates as the February Issue. Washington, Nov. 15.—The chief of the loans and currency division, treasury department, has sent out a large number of blank forms for the use of persons desiring to make bids for the new 5 per cent loans. The new bonds will be identical to those issued in Feb- • ruary last, inclusive of date, but will contain three less coupons, as the interest on them begins Nov. 1 instead of Feb. 1. Consequently the same plates will be used for printing the new bonds - and-there will -be no delay whatever on that score. Inasmuch as the offers will not be finally considered until Nov. 24, it is not likely that the principal bids will be submitted much before that date. The requirement that bidders should pay 20 per cent in gold coin or gold cef- , Tificates immediately on recei pt of the notice of acceptance of their bids is explained by Assistant Secretary Curtis. Several parties who made bids at the time of the last issue failed to make their bids good, while others who were not regarded as responsible made large bids and when they were rejected made complaints of their treatment. Mr. Curtis said that the requirement is to get rid of these classes of bidders. It is stated that bids have already been received at the treasury by telegraph, but no attention was paid to them. All bids received by telegraph or otherwise than sealed will be treated as irregular. « TARIFF OPINION. What Mr. Olney Says of the “Most Favored Nation Clause.” Washington, Nov. 15. — Attorney General Olney has rendered an important opinion involving the interpretation of , the “most favorqit Ration clause” in the treaty between 'the United Stales and Prussia. The question propound'd to the attorney general by the secretary of the treasury was “whether salt imported from the empire of Germany is. dutiable under paragraph 608 Os ts? new tariff act, which provides that if salt is imported from any country, whether independent or a dependency, wliich imposes a duty on salt exported from the United States, then there shall be levied upon such salt the rate of duty existing prior to the passage of the act?” As at present advised, the attorney general holds that salt imported from Germany is legally dutiable. So far as the favdred nation clause is concerned, the same argument will apply to beet sugar as to the salt.

Imported Materials For Export* Washington, Nov. 15. — Secretary Carlisle has approved regulations under section 9 of the new tariff act, Which provides that articles may be manufactured in whole or in part of imported materials or of -materials subject to internal revenue tax and intended for exportation, provided the same is done in a bonded warehouse and under regulations to be prescribed by the secretary The regulations coVer over 60 typewritten pages. s ' Contest In West Virginia.

Building and loan associations for people in ordinary circumstances is a good thing if the people are not too much cramped in paying up their dues. It is a good investment if you want a home on the installment plan, it is a sure way to get one and about equal to paying rent. The Commissioner of labor, in his report for 1893 on building and loan associations, gives the number of building and loan associations in 1893 at 5,838, of which number -5,598 were local or state associatiops, and 240 national. The total dues paid in on installment shares in force, with the profits on the same, in the year named, aggregated $<>50,667,594. Thrift and industry have doubtless been promoted by the prospects of winning a home afforded through the existence of building and loan associations. A XEW ENTERPRISE.

OBITVABY. Eva L. Acker was born April 26, 1871. She was converted about six years ago in a meeting held In the Methodist church at Pleasant Mills. The Baptist church at that time being without a pastor, she did not unite with any church until March 6,1892, when she was baptised and became a member of the Pleasant Mills Baptist church. Faithtul to her duties, an earnest Christian, she will be greatly missed by her pastor and by the entire church. For her chosen profession, that of teaching. she was held in the highest esteem by her co-workers for her ability and success; by her pupils for her kindly disposition and unswerving fidelity to their best Interests. On Sunday afternoon, October 7,1894, she was married to Dr. JohnW. Vizard. As the wife of a physician, with her parents nearheh the future looked bright and a life of usefulness seemed opened before her. A single month and all is changed. After a short illness, so s uddenly and so unexpect edly, with a call from Him who was her father in joy and sorrow, and the exclamation, “I’m going”, the happy bride of one brief month broke all the endearing ties of earth and her spirit, wafted by angels, went home to be with her Saviour. She fell asleep in Jesus Tuesday Nov. 6,1894, aged 2S years,-6 months and 10 days. The funeral was held in the Baptist church of Pleasant Mills, Thursday, afternoon, Nov. 8. A church crowded with weeping friends was a fitting tribute to her lovely character. The pastor preached on the words of Jesus, “What 1 do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” John 18:7. Her body was laid to rest in the Pleasant Mills cemetery. She is the first one of the family to go, her father and mother, two brothers and three sisters, all remain to mourn with her husband her early departure. / • — «■’ • Notice So Teacher.

Resolutions on the Death of Mrs. Brlttson. Castle H«HI of Eureka Temple No. 39 Rathbone Sisters. In the providence of God it seemeth good that death should come to one and all of His creatures. All flesh is as grass, and all its glory fades like tty? fair flowers disheveled in the wind. Riches has wings and grandeur is a dream. The man we celebrate must find a tomb, and we that worsnip ignoble graves. We, as Rathbone sisters of Eureka Temple No. 39, of Decatur, Ind., deeply deplore the loss of our beloved sister, Mary M Brittson who departed this life at Decatur, Ind., Oct. 16, 1894. Sister Brittson was an active, zealous Rathbone sister; wise in action, true to her obligations, at all times ready to make any sacrifice for the good of the Order that circumstances required. Through many days the heavy hand of pain was laid upon her, and patiently, loving borne, as Sent from the Divine Father, who does not causelessly try any of the pure gold which he would refine. When the summons came, calling her to the Temple of God, she joined the Angelic Host leaving behind her a life of beauty as au example to all, and the world better for her having lived in It. Therefore be it Resolved, That to the sorrowing husband and friends we extend our deepest sympathy in this their time of bereavement, and be it further Resolved, That in her death this Temple recognizes an irreparable loss, that the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for a period of ninety days. Furthermore, that these resolutions be spread of record upon a separate page, set apart for that purpose, in the record of the proceedings of this lodge, and a copy be sent to the husband and family, and also to each of the papers of the city.
