Dr. Edwin McGlynn has been restored to the priesthood, but is still without a parish. It is believed that he will leave New York and take charge of a parish In the arch diocese o t Baltimore. If those restive Russian officials really want to see fighting and have a chance to fight themselves, let them demonstrate to France that the German goverameut is re sponsible for the Panama fiasco. Some of ex-Champion Sullivan’s friends fear that he is losing his mind. He is be coming more and more vicious and brutal in each one of bis “jags,” they fay. A heroic dose of the cbain-ga <g would prob ably restore Mr. Sullivan's reason. , A good resolution for the coming New Year would be to see that all sanitary <j n dttions about one’s premises are good, and to keep them good for the twelve months. If this should be done there would be few complaints of fevers next summer and fall. William F. Harrity has au income of >26,000 a year as presidentof a Philadelphia business concern. He eaye he is too poor to give that up for an 18,000 position in the cabinet, to maintain the dignity of which would call for expenditures amounting to probably three times as much as the salary. Democrats were pleased when it was stated that Harrison would receive eight and.Cleveland one of California’s electoral vote*. Even that one was something of a surprise. Tbo official announcement that the election had precisely tne opposite re suit—Cleveland eight, Harrison one—will, therefore, afford them still greater pleasure.

Mr. Cleveland's Opinion of Mr. Murphy. The New York Times says it has author ity for the statement that Mr. Cleveland it opposed to Mr. Edward Murphy, Jr., for senator from New Yor*. Mr. Murphy is chairman of the state democratic commit tee, and is supposed to have a great deal of political influence in bis state. Mr. Cleve land, however, thinks be is not qualified to represent New York In the United States Senate, and it i* probable lie is right. Mr. Morphy Is a cai<able political manager, but be has given very little attention to such questions as come before the Sonata Ho wouldn't have much tufiuanoe in that body, therefore, if hs should be chosen a member of it. It is probable tbat Mr. Cleveland would not have expressed an opinion in respect to Mr. Murphy's fitness for the position if he had not been urgently requested to do so by some of those who were chiefly instrumental in bringing about his nomination and elec tion. Asa citizen of New York, however, he has a right to speak his mind plainly in respeot to tbe fitness of those who seek office to serve the people. There are some public positions for whioh Mr. Murphy is admirably qualified and to which his entire party would gladly see him elected, but New York ought to be repre sented in the Senate by men who are capa ble of taking a commanding position in that body. Her publio interests are very great and should be intrusted to men who under stand them thoroughly and are capable of dealing with them in a statesmanlike man ner. It has never been claimed for Mr. Mur phy that be is a statesman, or that ho has a comprehensive knowledge of national ques tions. It looks very much, however, as if Mr, Murphy would be elected senator. He and his friend, Senator Hill, have great influ ence with the demooratio members of the legislature, and Senator Hill is quoted as saying there isn't a doubt of Mr. Murphy’s election. There was report a few days ago that Mr. Cleveland and Senator Hill had adjusted their difference* and were on a friendly foot ing. The opposition of Mr. Cleveland to Mr. Murphy, however, would seem to indicate tbat it has no foundation. Senator Hill in sists that Mr. Murphy shall be elected and it is likely that he will have his way in tbe matter, notwithstanding Mr. Cleveland’s opposition. There is a suspicion tbat Henator Hill wants it to appear that he is still tbe big man in the Democratic party of New York and tbat bis influence is much greater than that of Mr. Cleveland. If that is what is in Senator Hill's mind he will lessen his own influence in the long run, beoause the people are pretty certain sooner, or later, to abandon a man who cares more to ac complish bis own purposes than to advance their welfare The New York legislature may pay no attention to Mr. Cleveland's opposition to Mr. Murphy. If it shouldn't the people of that state may have good cause to regret it* action. One thing is certain, and that is that Mr Cleveland is right in opposing Mr. Murphy for senator if he thinks he is not tbe right men to represent N'ew York in tbe Senate. —g A Significant Event. The laying of tbs corner-stone of tbe Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John in New York on Tuesday was an event of much more than ordinary signification, Tbe idea iu building this cathedral i* not to glorify one particular religious denomina tion. It is rather an effort to realize some thing that is adapted to tbe whole scope of American life. And because of this broader view thoughtful people in every pert of tho country are taking an interest in the structure. The idea of this grand structure—it will be the grandest church building in this country—was broached for the first time in 1870 by tbe late Dishop Potter. Although tbe idea took a firm hold on the minds of many people In New York at that time, little was done toward collecting a fund for tbe building until 1886, when the present Bishop Potter issued au address, in whioh he said; “It will be the people's church, in which ■no reserved right can be bought, held or hired on any pretext whatever. It will be the fitting shrine of memorials of our hon ored dead. It will supply the especial noed of this material age, a commanding witness to faith in tha unseen." Tho cathedral will, it j* estimated, cost $10,000,000 and will require fifteen years to build it. It is more than probable, how over , tbat the estimate will be greatly ex ceeded. Some idea of its size is furnished by tbe following figures. When completed its total length will be 520 feet, its total width 296 feet, the bight of its central towers 447- feet and the bight of it* dome in the inte rior 253 feet. The choir alone will have a soaring capacity of 2,000. The site, which cost ?555,000, has been paid for and there is *1,000,000 In the building fund. No doubt is felt tbat tbe nece sary money for building purposes will be forthcoming as fast as it is noeded. The cathedral will be much more than an ornament of New Ycrk. It will be a great center of Christian life and ac ivlty. It will be visited by people from every part of the country and those wbo visit it will carry back to tbeir distant homes impres sloue that will be incentives to more active Christian work. It will be an inspiration aud a power in tbe religious life of the coun try. Tbe Washington Post seems to be greatly cut up by the denial which Mr. Hoke Smith makes relative to the paragraph which ap peared In Mr. Smith’s paper, tbe Atlanta Journal, to the effect Georgia office seekers must have Mr. Smith’s indorsement to gain Mr. Cleveland's ear. The Post commenting on tbe denial says: “Thus is another fond delusion dispelled and the hope tbat clustered around it scattered to the various winds. It is not true that Mr. Cleveland ha* refused to c mrlder Georgia recommendations un less approved by Hon. Hoke Smith. Once more we are toeeed rudderless upon tbe wintry sea of conjecture, and the guiding star which we fondly told ourselves resided iu the person of Hou. Hoke Smith goes down behind a cloud of flat denial. It is too bad.” It would not be surprising if Jay Gould's sous and daughter were to dispense with open hands that charity which their father withheld. Miss Helen Gould the otbor day secretly provided, at her own expense, a Christmas feast for tbe inmates of one of the great charitable institutions iu New York. She objected to being kuown in the matter, probably fearing that bar action would ha contrasted with her father's lack of action on similar occasions, but tbe in formation “leaked out” that it was she who had giveu tbe dinnor. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1892. Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet. The Washington correspondents and not a few editors are naming the men they think will be or ought to be members of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. They are not puffed cp with the idea tbat their services are appreciated. They simply think they know a great deal more about Mr. Cleve land’s intentions relative to bis cabinet than the great majority of those who are in com munication with him, and they are anxions to give tbe public the benefit of what they think they know. It is pretty well understood that Mr. Clevsland has offsred tbe position of Secre tary of State to Mr. W bltney and that tbe offer has besn declined. It is also stated with a considerable degree of authority tbat he has requested Senator Carlisle to accept the secretaryship of the treasury, and that the request is being c nsidsred. There is no reliable information tbat he has offered any other man a cabinet position. If he has done so the fact has been kept secret A good many cabinet siates have been made, however, some of which contain names of men tbat Mr. Cleveland is not at all likely to honor w.th the offer of a oabinet nomination. If hs should invite them into his cabinet they would accept with alacrity, and it is probable they would quickly give him cause to repent having placed them in such conspicuous and re sponsible positions. They are men wbo place a much higher estimate upon their ability and importance than tbe publio dors. However, there is no reason to think Mr. Cleveland will make the mistake by surrounding himself with advisers who would not give strength and dignity to his administration. The fact that be has extended invitations to Mr. Whitney and Senator Carlisle is satis factory evidence tbat he will not be led Into selecting comparatively weak men for his cabinet. There are plenty of firat-claes men from which to ohoose. The main diffi culty In making a choice is to give each section of the country a representation that will be satisfactory. The Local Campaign. The county and municipal campaigns are under full neadway. The thing that has cropped out thus far is that there are a great many more candidates than there are offices. It is rather astonishing that there are so many reputable and public-spirited citizens wbo are anxious to serve the public. There isn’t one of them who wouldn’t feel hurt if It- were suggested that he has a pur pose in view other than the welfare of the dear people. Even the candidates for offices that pay nothing are confident, so far as they have been heard from, that they feel the throbbings of patriotic motives and high purposes. In these free-for-all races there ought to be no difficulty In picking out men who are eminently qualified to manage the affairs of the county and city and to discharge the duties of the minor offices. There is plenty of good material to choosy from, and if tbe right kind of men are not elected the people will have only themselves to blame. Voters should keep steadily in mind the fact that it is their duty as citizens to do all they can for the welfare of the city and county. Most of the candidates arc well-known citi zens, and nearly every voter ought to be able to pick out those who can be depended upon to devote themselves conscientiously to tbe service of the publio and who have the necessary qualifications. The mistake that too many voters make is tbat they permit their likes and dislikes to influence them in voting. Personal feel ings should not enter into the matter at all. Tbe public good should be the sole consid eration of every one casting a vole. A difference of opinion as to who the best men are is, of course, to be expected, but if voters, aftercareful inquiry concerning the candidates, follow their judgments the ma jority are pretty certain to cast their ballots for the candidates who are likely to render the public the best service. Henry Cabot Lodge, who believes that in the distribution of ability New England men received more than those of any other section, because there are more pictures of New England men in Appleton’s encyclo pedia than of men of any other section, may be right. According to the Washing ton Post a ring of New England writers has been able to develop such a “pull” on the state department that nobody outside of ibe ring is allowfd to see valuable historical documents owned by the Unitod Slates and filed awav in the library of the department. And Lodge himself is alleged to be the ring leader. Exclusive access to these documents on the part of these writers, be it under stood, is a matter of dollars and cents. They comp.le books and magu’ino articles ! from the data obtained from the pa; em, which books and articles they put upon the ; market for sale at the best terms obtain able. Under the order of things that now obtains in tbe department the New Ei giand clique and ono New York house have the sole benefit of moro than £IOO,OOO worth of historical papers paid tor out "of tbe public treasury. Lodge may call that the fruit of ability, but conscientious people will see in the refusal of det artraent clerks to allow outsiders access to the papers a species of bribery and corruption. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of South Dakota has found a more promising field for its labors than holding fairs for the benefit of the inebriate denizens of the Congo Free State. It will, from now until tbe adjournment of the legislature, make a spirited fight against tbe Dakota divorce law, which requires but ninety days' residence in tbe state to procure a divorce. One effect of this law has been a colony of divorce-seeking people from other states In every city in South Dakota, and tbe preaenoe of three colonies is a source of annoyance and chagrin to the Chris tian citizens of the state, who think the marriage ties should bo held more sacred thau the existing laws hold them. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union pro poses to have passed a more stringent law on the subjeot and thus destroy ths divoroe industry that has grown up in various cities. The fragment of Lizzie Borden’s burned dress that was found in a fireplace at tbe Ilorden residence not long ago, does not ap pear to be worth much as evidence in the great Fall River murder trial. Lizzie burned the dress because she had spilled red I>alot on it, to she says, and the family serv ant confirms her story. Still, some of the experts in the cate, after they have con cluded their analyses, may decide that the “red paint” is blood, in which cate tbe young woman would be placed in a very dangerous positioo. Should Mrs. lAUgtry’a Illness prove fatal •be would be remembered for a short time ooly, and then more on aocount of having betrayed bsr own character than having portrayed the characters of other*.

If it is true that Coliis P.

If Cleveland's first term had been six years lnstrad of four tbero can be little doubt that the principles of the famous mo-sag* of 1887 would have been carried into effect before its close.

Oould Char-ired His Mind. Jay Gould onci made a trip to Mexico to in spect the International and Great Northern rail way. It was in toe autumn of 1878, says the Sa i Francisco Chronicle , and, as usual, the millionaire was in a hurry. Meeting the gen tleman who ha*d the tale of the road in hand, he sad: “I’m a busy man, and I want to be back in New York n©xt week. Rush me through.'* A special train was made up and putln charge of Jake lAuer, one of the pioneers in Mexican engineering: ‘ Ruih hiui," was the order, and Mr. [.auer did some hard tuinking. He knew tbat the roadbed was in a tumble condition, and that to run over tweo y miles was tawing desperate c-.ancee. Lauer had lots of nerve, but he felt the responsibility impoiied on him by the of ficials in placing Gould in bis handa He con cluded finally tu use his own judgment, take no chance*, aud stick closely to tue schedule time Between Marshall and Galveston the schedule called for 285 miles to be made between dark and daylight. Jay Gould did not retir • early, and on that night seemed particularly wide awake. He sat reading a newspaper by a dim light, and every once in a while glanced out the window’ impatiently It was evident that the great man was becoming angry. Finally the storm burst Turning to one of the officials ac companying him, he remarked testily: Tf this were a funeral train it couldn't possibly travel in a more decorous manner. Steam up and let us go along.’* The gentleman spoken to was aware that the night ride haa been specially arranged in order tnat the condition of the roadbed could be con cealed from GouM, but thus forced he had noth ing to do but to order an increase of speed. The order was given, but the train moved along at the same speed. At the next stopping place l auer was sum moned and given to understand that be was not capable of driving a car horse, much less run ning an engine. “Get along! Push her: L*t's see what the machine can do.“ urged Gould. Lauer demurred aud the railroad magnate concluded that he was afraid. “He’s a cow ard, ’ he finally said; “put another man in charge." Lauer overheard the remark and flushed up. ‘AH right,** he said, “we'll open her ud." In a few moments the little special was speed ing through the night at the rate of forty five miles an hour It w’as a ride to be remem b red. The cars rocked from side to side, creak *?* io every joint, and now and tuen lifting as if about to leave tbe track. Everybody clung to some support; those who knew Min condition of the road bed expected to be hurled into ©termty every minute. Lauer sat at the throttle, watching the rails as they gleamed Uice silver threads. He was as pale as those In the train behind, but, a* he re - marked in telling the story the other day: “I'd have gone up with pleasure before I would have given that little cuss the chance to say I was a squealer.*’ Once of looked hack at the swaying train and said: “He won t stand it long." The engineer was right. At a particularly bad place the bell cord was jerked and the train brought to a standstill. Jay Gould was picked from under a seat, where ho had been thrown, ami angrily faced the engineer, wbo had come back to the car. ‘What in the name of all that is good and holy do yon mean?" he demanded. “Do you want to kill us all?” “You said you wanted me to pull her open.” replied Lauer, quietly. Gould glared at the man fer a moment and his manner changed. “My man.’ he said, “you can go back there and us© your own judgment the rest of the trip I know how to manipulate a railroad, but I guft'S you know more than I do about running an engine.” Then ho was assisted to his berth.

The dead list had dwindled down Until it numbered one; Four matinees a day in town The actors thought rare fun The buzz-saw and the tank had flown With other fads a few; And “kids" went on—tor Gerry’d gone— In nineteen ninety-two. Alas' one thing had never changed In every front row chair. With order that was not estranged. The bald-head man shone there' The ballet hadn’t lost its grip; The same girls now we view Stood at the wings, the giddy things, In nineteen ninety-two. A Story That Adlal Tells. Vice President-elect Stevenson tells a story about his friend Joe Blackburn that is said to have nettled the senator because it came too near to the facts for mutual enjoyment In early mauho and. it is raid, the senator was not conspicuously retiring or reticent to such de gree that it required more loan one yoke of oxen to draw from him an opinion upon any public question at auy time whatsoever. Mr. Stevenson said that once, when a celebrated de-iperado wa-i to be publicly executed in Ken tucky. J. e Blackburn, then a rising politician chanced *o to- among the spectators. Before the sheriff adjusted the noose to the neck of tbe condemned man he tendered him the cus tomary privilege of making any dying observa tions he might desire to, for the benefit of his hearers. "I don't think I've got any remark* that " the man began to say, when he was cut short by a loud, cheerful voice shouting; “Bay, BiU, if you liain't got anything special to talA about J wish you would give me about fifteen minutes of your time just to let me say to these good peoi le that lam a candidate for their suffrage*, and to. show some reasons why " “Hold on!" said tbs desperado *'Sheriff who is that man?" "That's Blackburn.’! “What Blackburn? Joe Blackburn'*'* “Yes.” "I thought so Give him time. Give him all of it. But go ahead and hang me first, aud make Blackburn talk afterward." Intelligent Rats. The Comhill Maoazine pays the following tribute to the smartness of rats: “If wild fowl that are visiting waters get fed in order to encourage them to remain, the rat* will come to see bow they eat it, and contrive among themselves to appropriate the food. No job is too bard for a rat. and 1 can say from personal experience that a past master or mist ers in ratcraft it ig hard tocircumvent “The common house rat, the brown one i* a first-rate swimmer and a good diver He will watch the ducks and listen to all their call* and if the bird* hare located themselves on some small island he sw.ms out to it steal* the eggs or kills and eat* the young bird*. If the liest is near tho water, by the aide of som* stream or outlet, the rats will cross with the young ducks, after they have killed them to the other side. A dozen young ducks half eaten, have been found under one large stone close to the water’s edge. They will watch close by for the departure of man or dog—tbev know well when these have gone -and then they do their work quickly. Stoats and wea eels are really benefactors to man. for they will kill rats and mice iu creat numbers. Pheasants and partridges suffer in like manner as tbe ducks, but to a less extent." BAKING POVrOKR. D R PRICE’S Q&fcSEg Tlu only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.— No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions !of tHomes— 40 Years the Standard. FLAVORING EXTRACTS. Why Are they Wanted? Because they never spoil nice desserts. Because the cakes, puddings, creams, etc., are made to please the most refined taste. Because they are extracted by anew method, from the true fruit, so that each has its own natural and distinctive char acter. That is why Dr. Price’s Delicious Flavoring Extracts, Lemon, Orange, Vanilla, etc., are wanted. To the connoisseur the difference between them and the com mon Flavoring Extracts is so great that it cannot be ex pressed inwords. A trial will prove their superior excellence. ITEMS OF INTBBBST. Dr. Sarqent of Harrard University has measured nearly 10,000 women with a view of their perfect physical development, and it Is said that he las not yet found “a perfect femi nine figure." The nearest approach that has been made to this result ia a Pennsylvania youu(? woman, and even she, though taking a prize for her physical development, was con fessedly lacking in some points of her physique. A Mlle. Polaire sang the composition of a well-known sportsman in Paris recently and her listeners applauded vociferously. Then a bouquet was presented to her. Not a nice, handy little thing which could easily be grasped by a lady’s dainty hand, but a nosegay in the shape of a life-sized horse, whioh, either by mean* of a figure inside, or because it was pro pelled from behind, advanced on to the stage by itself. Since the establishment of the federal gov ernment, New York has had 42 cabinet appoint ments, Massachusetts 37, Pennsylvania 36 and Virginia and West Virginia together 43. Cali fornia, now one of the largest and most im portant states, has never bad a place in tbe cabinet. The only cabinet office ever held by a man from either of the Pacific states was that of Attorney General, held by George Williams under Grant. New York has had five st-cre taries of state, six of the treasury, five of war. four of tho navy, three Postmasters General and three Attorneys General, but it ha* never had a secretary of the interior department. There is something inexpressibly repelling in the supet cilium triste of a camel as he look* scornfully at you. with his nose in the air, says a writer in the London Spectator, But I over came my repugnance and mounted one, after receiving careful instructi ms how to retain my seat while the brute was getting up. It was wed enough while he waited, but when he b>- gan to trot at a brisk pace I devoutly wished myself astride on a humbler animal. But how was Ito stop him? There was no bridle, only a rope attached to the left side of the brute's mouth. At that rope I tugged, with the effect merely of making my camel trot to the left. I had been told that if I wished to make him go to the right I must hit him on the left side of the head with a very short stick, with which I had been pro vided for the purpose But that was more easily seid than cone. How was I, from my giddy p T'-h. to reach the creature's head across that long stretch of neck? I tried it and nearly Ist my. balance for my pains—no joke at a hight of some ten feet above the pebbly saud. One of the officers, however, eaw mv plight, stopped, uttered some gurgling sound ."and then the camel, exposing its teeth and protest.ng vigorously, knelt down, aud I dismounted, vow ing that never again would I choose that mode of locomotion. My deliverer, who exchanged his donkey for my camel, laughed heartily at my discomfiture. But. I had my revenge speed ily, for in the exuberance of his gayety he al lowed the camel 10 rise unexpectedly and was pitche i head over I eels on the ground. He was not hurt and ho joined in the laugh against him self as heartily as he had laughed at me, Every oyster has a mouth, a heart, a liver, a stomach, besides many curiously devised little intestines, necessary organs such as would to handy to a living, moving, intelligent creature, says the St. Louis Renubitc. The mouth is at the end of the shell, near the hinge, and adjoin ing the toothed portion of the oyster's pearly covering. This tiny little apology of a mouth is oval in shape, and altnough hardly visible to one unused to making such anatomical exami nations, can be easily discovered by gently pushing a bodEin or a pieoe of blunt, smooth wire along the surface of the locality mentioned. When the mouth is at last located you can thrust your instrument through between tbe delicate llpsand a considerable distance toward the stomach without causing the oyster tbe least pain whatever. From this mouth there is of course a miniature canal leading to tbe stomach. Food Casses through this canal to the stomach, and from the latter organ into the intestines, just as readily as though the bivalve were as large as an elephant or a rhinoceros. Remove .the shell (this operation is rather tough on the oyster, but can be done in a comparatively painless manner bv an ex pert), and you will see the crescent, which lies just over the so-called heart. This ha f moon space is the oyster’s pericardium. Within is the true heart, the puleations of which can be readily seen without the aid of a glass. The heart is very human-like, made of two part* one of which receives the blood from the gills through a network of real blood vi sseis.the other portion contracts and drives tbe blood out through the body. Tbe other organs of an oyster’s anatomy are all in the proper places and performing tbeir severalfunctions. If you don't believe this story, examine one for your-elf. Few except those who have been through the experience are aware what exertion and strain and exhaustion a hotly-contested foot ball match involves. It is ail a great deal more than appear* on tbe surface, and the self-con trol required in ibe midst of great exeuemsnt adds to tbe nervous tension besides tbe pbys.cal fatigue. This of itself is enough to try an aver age man, but when to it is added the struggb-e the falls; the grappiings, the blows (for accord ing to tue Philadelphia Amea, there are blows once iu a while), it requires stamiua and real endurance as well as strength to stand it. Be cause the men on the opposite sides in the field are not seen squaring off and striking at each other in regular Sullivan-Corbett style, it does not follow tbat there are not scientific waye in wuich in the tusaeis the team can be materially weakened or *ome particularly aggr-sslve mem ber of it disabled. Let any man iu fair condition be suddenly thrown to the ground and then have one or two heavy men. or it may be seven or eight fall and throw their weight on?3 him. Possibly his hand may be under one of their feet, or (in the fail one of tbeir forearms may have ohuked him across the neck How much wind and energy will an average man have after one such experience at that? And yet it is a common foot ball expe rience. Many a man Is hurt more in a foot ball fight than he cares to admit, and ohe makes light of it and plays on for lbs sake of the col lege team and from selT-pride. Bu games ap pear to be growing rougher, and there are a great many “accidents' *nd injuries, and, tak ing all the 'earns in and around Fhiiadelphla, it would be astonishing if the extent of the in juries received in foot ball were known There is one doctur iu Philadelphia who has on his list thirty cases of iDjury at foot ball and they aie nearly all cases requiring surgical treatment.
