The soil only has to be broken and plowed, and then a crop Is raited. This is the whole of the operation, and is why Kansas Is the best of States for the farmer. In the western section of Kansas are many thonands of acres of jrovernmcnt and railroad lauds to he had for merely nominal prices. Kastern farmer dlsCourasred with their worn-out soil and meacer crops should fto to Kaunas, via the Bee-line route, and He. cure for themselves a farm where the soli is rich, and the harvests are bountiful. Land Is fifty per cent, cheaper now than it will be even three years hence, and at the rate the governmenfand railroad lauds are being taken up, there will be none left for laejranls. The best plan to pursue is to call on the if uts of the Bee-line and buy a ticket to Western Kansas, po out there, and nelect a location, and get ready to move your family Immediately in the hrrinjr.

ARMSTRONG A CO. 8 Surgical Instrument House, M South Illinois street. OBITUARY. Mary Louise llooth. Historian, Translator, and Hdltor of Harper's Bazar. New York, March 5. Miss Mary L. Booth, editor of Harper's Bazar, died at her residence. No. 101 East Fifty-ninth street, at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Mary Louise Booth was born April 19, 1831, at Millvillo (now Yaphank), Suffolk county, New York. She obtained her early education at tho district school, of which her father was tho teacher; afterward she passed through several academies aud seminaries of Long Island, and acquired tho classics French ami mathematics. In 184-1 her father removed to old Williamsburg, now tho Eastern district of Brooklyn, having received Iho appointment as principal of one of the public schools. She became a teacher in the same school, hut herhealth failed and she was obliged to relinquish tho position. She had always had literary tastes: she had a liberal education, and she now contributed tales and sketches to various journals and magazines. Sho also translated French works for magazines and for publication in boolc form. Her mastery of the French language was complete, She also engaged in a more ambitious work. It was a history of New York, which required much research, much labor in various directions, but it was pullished in 18.VJ, and is one of the most readable of the histories of the great city. On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1WI she translated a rumber of important works by French authcts, who had esponscd the cause of the North and who sought to create a sentiment in Europe favorable to the government of the United States. She carried on at the samn time a correspondence with MM. Labonlaye, Martin and Cochin, Mgr. Dupanloup, Count do Gasparin and other friends of America in France. Afterward 6ho translated Henry Martin's "History of France." Her traiislrt ions r'imler nearly forty toIuhies. She translated Count Gawparin's work, "Tho Uprising of a Great IVof)le," and had it ready for pnbication in a week, working twenty hours ft day. Abraham Lincoln wrote her a letter of thanks. Charles Sumner wrote: "It is worth a whole phalanx in tho cause of freedom." Needless to say, it was a work which espoused the cause of the North. In 1S07, at her suggestion. Harper & Brothers established the Bazar. Sue became its editor, and devoted herself with characteristic energy and industry to the conduct of that journal. Sho lived at tho corner of Fifty-ninth street and Park avenue, New York, in a brownstone house, handsomely, though not showily, furnished, and there she gave weekly Saturday night receptions, which were attended by people prominent in the literary world, bho was hospitable, reiined, unassuming and a lady of rare intellectual endowments. t Ever t since ho was a girl she had been distinguished in the world of letters. Sho never married. Losses try Fire. rniLAPKLniiA, March 5.r Tho Columbia avenuo market-house and hall, at Broad street, and Columbia avenue, was totally destroyed by fire early this morning.

According to tho almost unbroken line of prccedenU,tho nominations of members or ex-members of tho Senate were confinned without referenco to committees. Messrs. Blaino andWindom being of this class. Vice-president Morton's query, "Will the Senate advise and consent to theso appointments!" was answered aftirmatively tr the! unanimous vote, and so were all tho rest.

It was signed by John C. New, Wm. Wallace, J. A. Wildiuan, L. C. Walker, Lewis Wallace and Theo. P. Haughey. The nomination of the members oi tho Cabinet of President Harrison was received with evident satisfaction by the great bulk of Republicans at the capital. Senator Allison was asked what he thought of it. and responded: "It is lirst fate. The closer it is examined, and tho more the men are studied, the clearer it will appear that President Harrison has aono the best thing possible." " w hat a oout Tracy v "He's oil richt: au excellent man. "I've known him for twenty years, ami his appointment will be entirely satisfactory to the peoplo of New York and of the country at largo when they come to iuow him. ' Senator Spooner, speaking of tho Wisconsin member of tho Cabinet, said that "Governor Rusk's appointment would be hailed with delight in the Northwest, at least," said the Senator; he was reared upon a farm; and is familiar with all the details uf tho pursuit of tho fanner. He left the farm to enter tho Union army, where, by merit and conspicuous service, he rose to the rank of general. Daring his many years of public life, ho has remained m ' possession of and personally conducted operations upon his farm in Vernon county, Wisconsin. He had much to do with tho organization of the experimental station at the University of Wisconsin, the operations of which have rroved of great value. During the seven years of his service as Governor he recommended and organized a system of farmers' institutes in Wisconsin, which has brought tho farmers in every connty together to compare notes with each other, and to discuss all the problems connected with agriculture. He has always been connected with tho agricultural societies of his State and county, and has always manifested, loth in public and private life, an active and intelligent interest in agriculture." BIOGRAPHICAL. Short Sketches of the Men Who WiU Sit Around Harrison's Council Board. THE SECRETARY OP STATE. James G. Blaine, who for a second time is called to be Secretary of State, has been an eminent figure in American politics for more than a quarter of a century, and for the past eight years has been tho most popular leader of the Republican party. He is a few months ovea nf ty-nino years of age. He is a native of Washington county, Fennsylvanla, entered Washington College at thirteen, and graduated at tho head of his class in 1847. He then went to Kentucky, where he was professor of mathematics in a military institute. Here ho met his wife, who was from Maine, and at her persuasion removed to Augusta, Me., where he has since resided. Adopting Journalism as a profession, he became part owner and editor of the Kennebec Journal in 1931, and editor of the Portland Dally Advertiser in 1857. Ho was one of the organizers of tho Republican party in Maine, and served in the State Legislature from 1853 to 1G2, the last two rears being Speaker. Inl8G2howas elected a Representative in Conjrresa. and was re-elected for each ruoeessivo term until 1870. He was Speaker of the House of Representatives from ISO!) to 171, and waa acain the Republican candidate in 1875, but was defeated, the Democrats then having a majority. In 1870 and in 180 ho was a candidate for tho Republican noml nation for President, but was defeated by Mr. Hayes in tho one case and by Mr. Garlield in the other. In 1876 Mr. Elaine was appointed United States Senator from Maiae. to till a vacancy, and was subsequently elected fortlie term expiring in 18 "S3. This losition he resigned in March, lil,to accept the hecretaryship of state offered him by Mr. Gartield. The assassination of the latter caused Mr. Blaine to tender his resicnation to Mr. Arthur, which was accepted, in December, 181. Since that date he has idled no office. He was the Republican candidate for Presidents 1884. In 188G Mr. Elaine and hU family made a tour of Europe. Everywhere he was erected as the greatest living: American statesman. His Paris letter, in reply to President Cleveland's free-trade menage, is too freh in the minds of the people to need comment. He was the choice of the great majority of his party for the nomination for Prcsldent.and would have been the party candidate had he not positively refused to permit the u of his name. He returned from his foreign trip laat August, at dwas given a great reception in New York. On tho night of his arrival he made a speech to the IrishAiuerieaii, in which ho sounded the key-note of the campaign. His Western tour, in October. waa the event of the campaign in five Western States. He addressed in Michigan. Indians, Illinois, New York and Connecticut audiences of 20,0o0and 30,000 people. Since the triumphant victory at the end of the campaign he has lived quietly at his home in Augusta, seeing only few intimate friends and uttering not a word ibr publication. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. William Windom, of Minnesota, Is au Ohian by birth, a lawyer by profession, and a legislator of talent and capacity. He wa personally, one of the most popular men that ever sat in the United States Senate. Besides having been the late President Garfield's Secretary of the Treasury, he has for years made a study of questions affecting finance and commerce. He Is a close 6tudent, possessing no showy advantages In debate, but comielling the attention of all by the close logic of his arguments. He Is known as an opponent of monopolies, and his letter to the autl-monopoly roeetln held In New York shortly before Ida appointment by Garfield will long be remembered. There were no cummunistic utterances in the letter, but simply the avowed convictions of a thoughtful mind. He was the author of the bill creating a division of internal commerce in the Treasury, which has been practically merged into the Bureau of Matitks. In 174 a report made by Mr. Windom from tho edeef commltteij appointed to Investigate

and report upon the subject of transportation between the interior and seaboard, attracted, reneral attention. Watering stocks, he lelieves, should le prevented by prompt action by State Lepilatures. His report recommended enactment of laws by the States prohibiting railroad companies from owning any interest In non-co-opemtive freight linesor car companies operated by the railro;ul with which such persons are connected in an official capacity. Iu the short tiiuo that he was at the head of the Treasury Department he demonstrated his capacity as a wise financier. When he retired from the Cabinet ho went back to Minnesota and made an effort to secure a re-election to the Senate. He was unsuccessful iu this, and shortly afterward he noved to New York, where bo Las leen pracric1uk luw. For tli past rive years or more he. has rot floured in Minnesota politics, and has given all his attention to his business iu New York. After Allison declined Windom came up as the most prominent Western man who was familiar with finances. Ho is said to combine a knowledge of Wall street with a sympathy with tho West. I'OSTM ASTER-GENERAL. John Wanamaker, Pennsylvania's representative in the Cabinet, is one of the mo6t successful merchants of the United States. Starting in life with nothing but a clear head, a strong will and a brave heart, he has, by his own force, reached his present position of distinction and wealth. The Press, on Wednesday last, published the most complete sketch of Mr. Wanainaker's life that has ever been given to the public. It filled four columns, and tho strong individuality of the man cropped out in every line. In his great battle in the world of business he has never lost heart. Once or twice he was very nearly beaten, but, like Wellington's veter-. nn's, his want of capacity to recognize partial defeat brought him on to unquestioned victory. 31 r. Wanamaker is in the prime of life. Ho will not bo fifty-two years old until the 11th of July. He was born In Philadelphia, in au old bouse, down at Twenty-third and Federal Ftreets that was recently pictured in the Press in an article giving an account of his early days, nis father was Nelson Wanamaker. His mother was Elizabeth Kochersperger, and came from Montgomery county. Mr. Wanamaker married in 1801 a sister of Nathan Brown, his first business partner.' He also began MislneiM in that year. Tho establishment at Thirteenth and Chestnut 6treets ia a monument to his ea pacity for organization. The number of his employes there runs froin 3,000 to 4,500 at different seasons of the year. His retail business amounts to between .12,000,000 and $15,OO0.000 annually. In addition to this ho does a wholeRule business of nearly S12.000.000 a year.

He personally directs both his retail and wholesale establishments. He is one of the busiest of men, yet ho never appears to bo hurried. AS chairman of the advisory committee to tho Republican national committee last fall he attracted the attention of the whole country. He carried the name spirit, tho same iadoniitato energy, into tho field of politics that had marketl Lis career in the business world. A gentleman who was at the national headquarters throughout the campaign, said: "John Wanamaker never doubted that Geuersl Harrison would be elected. When others were seared or despondent he was always cheerful and confident. Very often he was our only comforter. SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Gen. John W. Noble, Missouri's representative, is one of the strongest lawyers at the 6t Louis bar. He has a high reputation for probity, learning and industry. When St. Louis was threatened with violence and bloodshed by Anarchists and Communists during the great railroad strike of 1877, General Noble promptly began organizing his fellow-citizens for the maintenance of order and the enforcement of law. Among his warm friends are Mr. Justice Miller, General Bristow anU General Henderson. He entered tho civil war as adjutant of the Third Iowa Cavalry. By gallantry and ability he rose to be its eoloneL He e bowed himself to bo a brave, enterprising and capable official at all times. He took part in numberless engagements and expeditions in Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, and always with great credit to himself. His regiment was attached to Wlnslow's brtgnde of Upton's division. He led it in its dismounted night attack upon the fortifications covering Columbus when, with the gallant loys of the Tenth Missouri and the Fourth Iowa, they swept overall obstacles, capturing over 3.O00 prisoners, fifty-two guns, two gunboats and a vast amount of stores, ammunition and cotton. It was this achievement of Colonel Noble's that won his brevet of brigadier-general, and proved himself to bo worthy of still higher promotion.

Only the end of the war prevented him from reaching high rank and important command, for he was rapidly rising into prominence. .When he was mustered out ho resumed tho practice of law in Keokuk. He wanted a broader field, and went to St. Louis, where he rapidly acquired prominence. He was apiolnted United States attorney for that Judicial district, and rendered most important service in the prosecution of the whisky ring. SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. General Benjamin F. Tracy, whose appointment heals the disagreement between New York's diverse iolitlcal elements, is a stanch Republican, thoagh he is more generally known to the public, perhaps, as a leadcr of the New York bar. He was brought prominently into notice in the celebrated Beechcr case, in which ho appeared as one of the counsel for Mr. Eeecher, and also took the witness-stand. He was born at Owcgo, Tioga county, New York, in 1S30, and received an academic education. He was admitted to the bar in 1851, and two years later was elected district attorney of Tioga county. In 185G he was re-elected over Gilbert C. Walker, who subsequently became Governor of Virginia. Tho contest was extremely exciting, but, singularly enoukh, tho two chief opponents begot a warm friendship for each other, and later became partners in the law under the firm name of Tracy A Walker. Ho served as district attorney until 1859, when he was sent to the Assembly from the Tioga district. served one term and was chairman of the census committee which issued the first Republican manifesto in the State of New York. He entered the army in 18t52 as colonel of the One-hundred-and-ninth Regiment of New York Volunteers. After leading his command through the threedays lighting at Spottsylvania Court-house, his health became completely broken down and he Tieided the command to his lieutenant-colonel, le subsequently accepted tho command of the One-hundred-aud-twenty-sevcnth United States Colored troops. Upon his return from the front ho was placed in command of the war prison camp aud draft rendezvous at Elmira. After tho close of the war he settled in Brooklyn and resumed the practice of his profession. He was appointed United States district attorney for the Eastern district of New York in 18C6 by President Johnson, and again by President Grant. He declined reappointment at the end of his second term, and devoted himself to his private practice. He was the regular Republican candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn in 1881, when the Young Republican Club and the Citizens Association also nominated Ripley Roics. Both withdrew In fjvor of seth Low, who was elected. Governor Cornell appointed him an associate Judge of the Court of Appeals in December, 3 ski, and in tho fall of 1882 he, was the Republican candidate for a seat on the Supreme Court bench, but he was defeated in the disastrous Folger campaign. James W. Ridgway defeated him subsequently as the Republican candidate for district attorney. Since that time he has devoted himself entirely to his law practice, which is largo and lucrative. He has been counsel in many celebrated cases. General Tracy is an intimate friend of ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt. SECKETAltY OF WAR.

Suites. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. William nenry H'.rrison Miller was born in September, 1840. His father was a well-to-do farmer In Oneida connty. New York, and the birth of a son when the memorable campaign of 1810 was most intense accounts for the name given tho child by tho father, who was an enthusiastio Whig. Youns Miller spent his youth on a farm with the ordinary experiences of farmers; went to Hamilton College, where he graduated in 1801. After his graduation he went to Maunice City, O., where he taught school for about six months, and studieu law for a time in the office of Mr. Waite, afterward Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who was then practicing at Toledo. Mr. Miller removed to Peru, IntL.lato in 1SC2, or early Iu 18C3, where Le was principal of the public schools for a year, during which tune he continued the study of the law, and at the end of that period began the practice While at Peru

he was married to Miss Gertrude A. Brace, of the college town of Clinton, N. . shortly after ho becan the practice of law at Peru, the Re

publicans of that rlaco nominatcii nun or Mayor. This is the only public office for which Mr. Miller has ever run. and he was beaten for this by a few votes. While In Ohio, before bis removal to Indiana, he enlisted in a hundredda vs' regiment, the one of which Judge Lawrence, afterward Comptroller of tne currency, waa eoloneL Mr. Miller lays no stress nponhissery1re In tlio rin v thoiiirh his friends have made it a hook upon which to haug the title of captain. He removed to Ft. Wayne in 1804, where he continued at the law and soon had a large and lucrative practice. In 1674 ho was Invited to become a member of the firm of Harrin 4: lline at Indianapolis, and removed to this city to become a member of the firm of Harrison, nines & Miller, and has continued In the activo practice of his profession ever since. During this period he has been engaged in much of the most imiortant litigation that has occurred in the courts in this citv. He has three children, a son, now In bU junior year at Hamilton College, and two daughters Miss Florence, a young lady, and Miss Jessie, a girl of fourteen years. Mr. Miller has always been an intense worker, and has done thoroughly whatever he had to do. He is also a rapid worker, and can dispose of a very largo amount of business in a short time. He is a proficient lawyer in every department of practice, and is especially useful in looking after tne purely legal questions involved in a lawsuit. While he is a successful advocate hi Jury trials, he is especially distinguished for his vigorous, clear ana effective manner of presenting law questions to a court. During tho years that he has been associated with the firm in this city he has been an invaluable assistant to Gen. Harrison in all of his great legal battles. While the General is more gifted as an advocate, ho has always relied largely upon Mr. Miller for tho law of a case, and to look after details and prepare instructions, briefs and the llko. Mr. Miller's knowledge of the law extends to every department of it, and what ho knows he has always at command, lie is one of that class of lawyers who has taken few vacations; is always at his olheo early in the morning and is last to leave at night, being Just the kind of a partner that his associates could depend upon at all times. He is fond of debate and delights in discussion of legal questions. He enjoys a keen thrust or witricisui as much as any one can, and sometimes yields to the temptation to say a bright and at the same time sarcastic, thing about a fellow-member of the bar, a litigant or a witness. This characteristic has given him more reputation for acerbity than he deserves, for ho has a kind heart and believes in absolute Justice and fairness, and of his rugged honesty there has never been the least question, even from his bitterest adversary. Tho wire edge of his tongue may bo attributed to his ill health, for he is by no means a robust man, being specially addicted to asthma and neuralgia. Notwithstanding theso ailments ho rarely loses a day from his business, having, as he himself pubi it, "a powerful undercurrent of health.' Some time ago au insurance agent visited him, and with much persuasive eloquence tried to convince him that ne 6hould take ont several thousand dollars in 11 fo insurance. Mr. Miller told him he liad not Veeh a fit subject for life insurance for twenty-five years, and that no company with any respect for itself or consideration for its stockholders could afford to take him as a risk. Still, as he informed tho agent, he expected it would, after all, bo his luck to outlive moat life insurance companies in tho country, though he carried his own risk. One of the mo3t distinguishing features of his mind is his clear, keen, decisive presentation of a question. He strips from a question aU nonessentials as quickly and readily as any man that ever practiced at the bar in Indiana: gets at the real issue and states it with great terseness and force. He is considered to have much executive ability and has, since his connection with the firm of which General Harrison was a member, always had care of the finances. Mr. Miller is in easy circumstances, lives well, but without ostentation, and is worth about $100,000. - SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE. Jeremiah McLain Rusk is Just as old as Mr. Blaine, and like General Harrison and Mr. Windom he was born in Ohio. He was reared on a farm, achieved distinction by his rare fighting qualities in tho army, afterward served three terms in Congress and then became the most populor Governor Wisconsin ever had. No one can beat Rusk before the people of his own Stato. They all know him. Born in 1830 in Morgan county, Ohio, he lived on a farm until he went to Wisconsin in 1853, (the same year Mr. Windom went to Minnesota,) where hecontinued farming until the outbreak of the war. He was commissioned major of the Twenty-fifth Wiscon sin Regiment, rose to the rank of lieutenantcolonel and served with Gen. Win. T. Sherman from the ideo of VlekV.nrg ill the close ef tho war. In 1803 he recti ved the brevet of brigadier-general of volunteers for meritorious service at the battle of Salkehatchie. Mr. Rusk was elected Bank Comptroller of Wisconsin In 1866, which post he held till 1870, In which year he was elected a member of Congress by the Republicans. He served three terms, and as chairman on pensions performed important services in readjusting pension rates. lresident Garfield offered hirn the post of charge d'affaires in Paraguay and Uruguay, also chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printlng. both of which offers he declined. In 1882 he was elected Gov ernor of Wisconsin, and was twico re-elected. Last year he declined a fourth term. During tho Anarchist troubles in tho West, it was he who so distinguished himself among all the Governors as the one with firmness to put the movement down atjbe very6tart. His action was so vigorous that it put a stop to the business of anarchism hi W isconsin, and ho was applaud ed all over the country. He is spoken of as a prompt, firm, intelligent and able man. He was a candidate for presidential nomination at Chicago, last June. Ills Stato was "solid" for him. but, of course, no Wisconsin man was seriously considered uy the convention. CANADA'S NERVE. A Bill to Be Introduced in the Dominion Parliament to Annex New England. Ottawa, Ont-, March 5. Mr. Mills will soon introduce a bill in tho Dominion Parliament which states that a union be tween Canada and the United States ap pears advisable, and that the subject is being widely discussed throughout the Dominion by leading buisness men. Tho bill says that it also seems that the experi ment of republican government has proved a failure, and there are strong indications that the dissolution of tho federation known as the United States is imminent. and tho spread of anarchy or tho building up of other foreign powers in the adjacent States known as New England might im peril British interest on this continent. That facts eo to show that New England since severing connection with the British crown has not made nearly as great progress relatively as the provinces, and while their return to their old allegiance would not only materially advance tho trade and promote tho prosperity of the States, it would be a probable benefit to tho neighboring provinces. That Parliament views tho agitation with 83mpathy and does all in its power to aid in the annexation of such New England States, and that his Excellency, the Gover-nor-ccneral. in council, be. and is hereby. empowered to co-operate with her Majesty's government in securing sucu ameuumeni to the act of British North America as rnav bo necessary to extend the boundaries of Canada, such boundaries, however, not to extend in a westerly direction beyond the Connecticut river. 1110 urccn aiountains and Lake uhamplain.

INDIANA AT THE VvTUTE HOUSE. The President Is Glad to See the ITootlers Honors for the Seventieth Regiment. Special to th IndlanaroUs Journal. Washington, March 5. Indianians aro made perfectly at homo in the White House. now. No questions are asked when they put in an appearance, and the doors aro made to 6wing inward upon their approach. President and Mrs. Harrison ?ave them to understand as they called to-day that w hen they are in town they must call," and be comfortable, as the latch-string is always to be out. There were myriads of . lloosicrs around the executive mansion all day. First. Messrs. Kriselcy, Durbin, Throckmorton, Chambers, Huston, Sills, Tackett, Studebaker and J. 11. Cochran, presidential electors from Indiana, called upon tho President, and wero received with irreat cordiality. Upon tho request of tho President. Mr. McKee showed tho callers through the house, and they spent a large part of tho forenoon with the family. Another party. composed in part of Harry Adams, Dan Kansdell, Messrs. Leonard, Hawkins, ard other well-known Iloosiers, called and were given a similar greeting. Thero was a constant stream of callers at the White House all day. President Har rison Said at dinner this evening that ho had probabby shaken the handa of eight thousand persons sinco daylight this morn ing. It was a hard but pleasant day's work. The Seventieth Indiana Kegiinent, the President's "boys," wero among the very first to call, and Sirs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee camo down into the East Parlor to assist in receiving them. After each ono had been given a warm and friendly hand-shake. President Harrison did them tho honor to ask that they should stand at his back and about him and support him throughout his reception. It was a splendid sight. The grim veterans who had stood by their com mander in many a battle, supported him in the new position they helped him to obtain. Tho 4boy8,, wero in the presence of tho President over two hours. The parting was one which gavo evidence of devotion on both sides. For a while this afternoon the crush of visitors became so great that it was neces sary to closo the doors to the White House, in order that the delegations might be re ceived in order. An old 6oldicr, with a badge of honor on hiswreast, pounded on tho door for admission. It was opened slightly by the sergeant in charge. "1 was one of ueneral Harrison's boys." said the veteran, "and I would like to see him." "Come right in and make yourself at home." was the response, as the door came full open, and the old veteran entered, all wreathed in smiles, and wandered at leisure through the mansion. So it went all afternoon. iTesident Harrison ato his lirst undisturbed dinner, this evening, since he arrived in Washington. While at tho Arlington h was continually called from tho table and was never allowed to finish a ineaL. He is not so constituted that ho can, in repose. eatauinner or oreaiuast wnne a ineiui, known or unknown, awaits his pleasure. The President has withstood the fatigues of his stay hero with admirable fortitude, and is in perfect health. Miss iSannio rseweonier, daughter ol lJr. F. S. Newcomer, of Indianapolis, has been invited to visit the President's family. Mr. Llnah AY. Halford took tho oath of office as the President's privato secretary last night. It was administered by Mr. Crook, one of the executive clerks. He formally assumed his duties this morning. There wero several appointments made in tho foreo at tho mansion to-day. Capt. E. S. Dinsinore was appointed on the clerical force and assigned to duty in charge of tho lower iloor of tho House. E. F. Tibbot and Miss Alice 11. Sanger, of Indianapolis, wore appointed clerks. There have been no changes in the old force, all leing retained appointed steward in place of Win. T . Sinclair, President Cleveland's valet, who resigned. As President Harrison's family exceeds in number those of his predecessors during a number of years, a re-arrangement of tho rooms in that part of tho executive mansion set apart for their residence has boon made necessary. According to tho pres ent plan, the President will occupy the central apartment on tho south frout. known as the "Prince of Wales's room, from tho fact that the Prince slept in that chamber during his stay in Washington many years ago. Mrs. Harrison's chamber willoo the adjoining room on tho southwestern corner, and the rooms on the north front have been aligned to Mr. and Mrs. McKee. Mr. and Mrs- Hussell Harrison and the McKee children.

All the members of ex-President Cleveland's Cabinet tendered their resignations to President Harrison, yesterday, aud he accepted them to-day, to take cti'ect upon the qualification of their successors. UNPLiK A S ANT HAPPENINGS. Sirs. Cleveland's Lack of Courtesy Drunkennes Among 1VTulte-Hous Servants. Special to tho Indiani polls Journal. Washington, March 5.Thcro has been a good deal of gossip to-day about tho peculiar conduct of Mrs. Cleveland yesterday, and, so far, no explanation has been offered. Sho did not attend the inaugural ceremonies, and she was not present at the lunch given by President Cleveland to his successor in office. After tho presidential party left tho White House for the Capitol, in the morning, Mrs. Cleveland took a carriage for tho residence of Secretary Fairchild, whero she remained during the day. Never before has sho failed in courtesy in any respect; she has observed all of the conventionalities with the most rigorous fidelity. Theref oro her neglect of Mrs. 1 larrison upon tho last day of her husband's administration is all tho more tho subject of remark. There wore some other little incidents in th domestic department of tho White House that gavo Mrs. Harrison a good deal of annoyance. Several of the servants, baring understood that they were tolwdisc ha rued, did not wait for tho new occupants of the White House toniako their appearance, but, having been paid oft" on the previous day by Colonel Laniont. left tbo establishment without notice. Three ot four others were found iu a grossly intoxi
