A cigarette is a roll of paper, tobacco and drugs, with a small fire at one end and a big fool at the other. Some of its enjoyment are condensed nightmare, fits cancer of the lips and stomach, spinal meningitis, softening of the brain, funeral processions and families shrouded in gloom. There are plenty of subjects left, however, who are perfectly willing to undergo the trials of such a nature for the sake of putting on a certain amount of style. —Ex.

Dress Keiorm i'or M'».
Much lias been said and written about dress reform for the women and but little for men. Here is an idea from an exchange: "A man will start out on the hottest summer day in a full wollen suitcoat, vest and trousers. On reaching his office or his home he will probably discard his coat and vest and co®l himself in the shade. When he goes out again into the sun he resums his coat and vest. No wonder men are overcome by the heat. It is a wonder, however, that no steps are taken toward some intelligent reform in dress for men. The neglige costumes and the sweater are preparing the way for it. A shirt and a pair of trousers oyer light underclothing are as much as a man ought to wear on a hot day. And these or their equivalents ought to be the summer costume recognized by fashion. Men are worse slaves to custom than women in this matter. They endure more actual suffering in conforming to it in the summer months than women do.

OBITUARY. CHAPMAN.
Sadie, third daughter of Henry and Mary Chapman, was born May 10th, 1895 and died of diphtheria, July 13th, 1885, age 10 years, 2 months and 3 days.
As we looked upon her we thought now sleep so beautiful and calm, so free from trace of pain, so fair to look upon. She seemed a creature fresh from God and waiting for the breath of life, and not one who had lived and suffered death. She leaves a fatheT, mother, three brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss.
Her remains were interred in the Simmons cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
We saw her suffering: heard her sighs, With throbbing lieartsand weeping eyes But now she calmly sleeps at lust: Allgrief and pain and sufferingpast.
Fold her, O Father, within thine arms And let her henceforth be A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee CLARA CHAPMAN, Willow, Ind.

MYSTERIOUS MEETING
Session of the Cabinet Held in Midsummer.
THE PRESIDENT NOT PRESENT.
Great Secrecy Maintained About the Sub
ject or Subjects Under Discussion—An Air of Gravity in the Demeanor of the Cabinet Officers Present—It May Relate
to Spain and Cuba. WASHINGTON, July 20,—For the first
time in many years there was a midsummer cabinet meeting in Washington yesterday afternoon in the absence of the president. Secretary of State 01ney apparently came to Washington from Falmouth for the express purpose, for he arrived at noon and again left the city this morning. Secretary Olney called at the war department soon after his arrival to talk with Secretary Lamont. The latter was absent at the time and he failed to attend tho cabinet meeting, wrhich was held later, although an effort was made to summon him by telephone.
Secretary Herbert next received a visit from die secretary of state, and about 4 o'clock the pair walked over to the state department and were closeted in the office of Secretary Olney. Here they were joined in the course of half an hour by Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Harmon, who had been called by telephone into conference. This lasted for fully two hours, and from time to time Assistant Secretary Adee, who has been acting as secretary of state during the absence of Secretary Olney, was called into the room to advise the cabinet as to some point under discussion.
Whatever was the subject or subjects considered can not be learned, and apparently it was resolved to keep the proceedings secret, for each of the persons present as they emerged, declined courteously but positively to answer a single question touching their deliberations. All that could be gathered was to the effect that nothing had happened at Gray Gables to give rise to any apprehensions. Still there was an air of gravity in the demeanor of the cabinetofficers as they emerged from the conference that would indicate that some weighty and important question had been under discussion. What these may have been can only be surmised without any tangible evidence of probability.
One theory is that the Mora claim was before the cabinet in the shape of some proposition from the Spanish government for its settlement that perhaps involved the element of long time, and consequently justified some hesitation before it could be disposed of. Au idea broached was that there was an ugly question as to the fulfillment of our neutrality obligations toward Spain that has caused the sudden assemblage of the cabinet officers.
This had some color from the fact that the particular officers gathered at the state department yesterday afternoon were just those who would be charged with the execution of the neutrality laws. The secretary of state would be clothed with general supervision, the attorney general would look after the enforcement of the law ashore, the secretary of the treasury through the collectors of customs and revenue cutters would care for the ports and coasts, and the secretary of the navy would maintain the patrol in blue water.
In further confirmation of this theory it was said that the Spanish minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome had suddenly arrived in Washington from Massachusetts, but a close search failed to discover his wherabouts, and Secretary Olney would not admit that he had seen him.
There are those who believe that it was this subject of neutrality which engaged the most serious attention of the cabinet officers. It is known that they have been watching narrowly the proceedings of the Cuban sympathizers, who have been operating in the United States, and it is believed that the open and questionable operations at the New York meeting lately when a convention went through the forms of electing a president for Cuba, has given rise to some doubt on the part of our government as to whether this was a proceeding that did not in itself constitute at least in spirit an infraction of that principle of the neutrality laws which forbid the use of the United States as a base of operation against a nation with which the United States is on terms of peace.
If this view was taken of the matter bv the cabinet meeting yesterday it is likely that it will be manifested through the issue of another presidential proclamation much more sweeping in its terms than that already put forth, warning the residents of this country against any infraction of the neutrality laws, and this in turn may be followed by instructions to the judicial officers of the government that will summarily check any hostile movements against the Spaniards in Cuba from this country.
Minister De Lome was seen last night, but refused absolutely to be interviewed as to the reasons for his presence here at this time.
The impression is very strong that the cabinet meeting was for the purpose of discussing the neutrality feature of the Cuban question, and it is believed that some public statement will be made in regard thereto in a few days. WHAT WILL ENGLAND SAY TO THIS?

THE BABY NAMED.
The Little Girl at lStizzard's Hay Will BB Called Marion. BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 20.—
Marion, a French rendition of the musical name Mary, has been decided upon by President and Mrs. Cleveland as the name for the baby born to them about two weeks ago. The fact was officially announced by Private Secretary Tliurber yesterday afternoon. There was no unusual ceremony attendant upon the naming of the baby except that which occurs in any household on any such occasion.
The name was suggested by that of the beautiful spot on the shores of Buzzards Bay, which the president and his wife passed several months previous to their selection of Gray Gables as the Kte of their summer home, Marion, Mass. Mrs. Cleveland has often been heard to praise the beauties of that locality.
The announcement of the name ends a period o$ considerable interest, not only here but all over the country. Letters from many parts have been received at Gray Gables offering suggestions, and the newspapers have expressed some wonder at the delay of tolecting a name.
EXPORTING GOLD.
A Movement in Opposition to the Morgsm-ISi-lmont syndicate. WASHINGTON, July 20.—The secretary
of the treasury yesterday received a telegram from Mr. Jordan, assistant United States treasurer, at New York, statiug that W. H. Crossmau & Brothers had withdrawn $1,000,000 in gold, presumably for export, from the subtreasury in exchange for United States notes.
Secretary Carlisle was seen, but he declined to discuss the matter or express any opinion in regard to it. Other treasury officials were equally reticent, but some officials who have been watching the exchange market express the opinian that the shipment is the beginning of a movement in opposition to the Morgan-Belmont syndicate, who, it is alleged, are holding up the rates of exchange, which it is desired to break down.
Another Chinese Scheme.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—The internal revenue officials say there are two sets of registration certificates out for most of the Chinese here. When the registration law was first passed a number of Chinese -were registered by Collector Quiun. The constitutionality of the law was tested, and when that was decided the registration was done all over again by Collector Wells. Many Chinese sell their second certificates to the Chinese that are pouring ^ver the borders north iftid south. At El Paso it is said they are passed through witliout certificates.
Pension Decision.
WASHINGTON, July 20. Assistant Secretary Reynolds in a pension appeal case denied yesterday holds that a claimant who filed his claim while a deserter had no status to apply, and that his pension could only date from the filing of another application subsequexic to his discharge. The claimant in this case was Charles T. Garrard. Sixth United States cavalry, who deserted Oct. 21, 181)5. and was granted an honorable discharge by special act of congress Aug. 1, 1802.
