One ot the Wealthiest and Best Known Residents of this City Dead. . Brazilian Minister Entertained. . GAZETTE’S BUREAU, 709 EAST CAPITOL STREET, WASHINGTON, J AN. 17. DEAR GAZETTE—Senator Sherman is now deemed to be a certain member of the McKinley Cabinet, as Secretary of State. No one is yet booked for the Treasury. Gen. Alger is slated for the War Department and John D. Long for the Navy. Joseph M. Kenna is down for the Interior, and James Wile son for Agriculture. No selection is yet made of P. M. General, and Nathan Golf is settled upon for Attorney Gen- eral, and yet changes in these selec- tions are liable to be made. Cabinet making is as difficult asfa a ame of chess. o o 0 As to the new tariff it is the intention to frame a bill which will produce suffi- cient revenue for the expenses of the government, without giving inadequate protection to special interests. The principle of protection will be adhered to, but only the difference in the cost of production in this country and in foreign countries will be taken into consideration. ' o o o The tariff committee are in possession of evidence of the purpose of European manufacturers to swamp our. markets with foreign gonds before the new law can be put in operation. Great frauds too, are alleged in the matter of under- " valuations. o o The Very Rev. Dr. Conaty, the new Rector of the Washington Catholic Uni- versity of America, is to be installed here on Tuesday. Bishop John .J. Keane, the former Rector who was recently appointed by the Pope to the ofiice of Bishop Assist- ant at the Pontifica‘l throne, has also been made Consultor To the Congrega- tions of the Propaganda. Bishop Keane enjoys the special favor of the Pope. o n o The Brazilian Minister entertained at dinner Saturday evening the Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson, Senator and Mrs. Sherman, and Senator and Mrs. Frye, among others. 0 o 0 Joseph Willard, one of the wealthiest and best known men in Washington and founder of the famous old hostelry that bears hisname, died at his resi- dence, in this city, to-day. He was an eccentric character, and his wealth is variously estimated from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. ‘At the banquet given at the opening of the Willard Hotel, Ed- ward Everett, John Quincy Adams, JudgelMarshall,Webster,Clay and Cal- houn, made merry speeches. During the war the hotel was frequented by all the distinguished men of the day, in- cluding Lincoln and 13 ram. His Interior Construction. RobertfiMcLean, J r., the 13-year old son of Robert McLean of Danbury, died of appendicitis, last Thursday. The ailment, however, was upon the left side of the body instead of upon the right side. where the Te'miform ap- pendiX is situated. The case was of such a peculiar nature that an autopsy was made. The doctors were surprised to find the appendix upon the left side of the body. 'The examination left no doubt that the boy died of appendicitis. The physicians found that the heart was on the right side instead of the left, and that some of the other organs were upon the wrong side of the body. The boy seemed almost reversed in his interior construction. He had been well and hearty until he was attacked by appendicitis. . ——oo Yale Taxed too Much. A meeting onale University was held last week“ at Which President Porter presided, to protest against what is deemed excessive taxation. A‘ formal protest against the hostility of the New Haven town government will be formulated and presented at a future meeting. We would invite Yale to come to Norwalk'and drop all its Univerity buildings down here, werefit not that - our tax-hunger is as ravenous and in- satiate as in New Haven. .0. —To the Ladies.

Newsdealers Asked to Sell New York Pa- pers at a Loss to Themselves. Agents of the New Yoi'k World and , Journal recently visited this city and informed the local newsdealers that un- less they delivered thoSe papers to their customers at two cents per copy their . supply would be cut ofi. In one in- stence the dealer told them to “cut off" if they wished to, in another a com- promise was reached and a third ac- quiesced. Those papers delivered cost the dealers two cents a copy and there would be little or no satisfaction in handling them if indeed they were not losers. ' . A dealer who was among those served with the edict, in substance says: “The New York World and Journal pretend to oppose the trust, monopo- lies, eta, yet they have become one themselves, and are now engaged in a quiet war against the newsdealers. In New York and Jersey City the news- dealers are supplied at one-half a cent a copy. The country dealers as for in- stance Norwalk are charged for them so that by the time they are delivered they cost fully two cents a copy. The publishers are not satisfied with the ad- vanced price they have been receiving from their country readers, and now wish to force the dealers to deliver the papers at a loss, or suffer the conse- quences of a boycott or papers cut off. N ewsdealers are merchants in our city, pay taxes, have families to support, and like other merchants want a living profit on goods sold, and should be pro- tected from such tyrany. Recent Deaths. George Bonney, a resident of Fair- field, died at his home on Mill Plain avenue Saturday vening. He resided in Fairfield over 40 years and leaves two sons and'one daughter. John L.

An interesting bit of evidence was secured by the detectives in the poo1 room raid‘at Stamford. It was a slip of paper which showed how much these gamblers were making every ”day and also what they took in. The period covered was from the time the rooms opened in Stamford, Jan. 1, until the day before the raid, Jan. 5. The slip showed the amounts taken in for four days as follows: Jan. 1, $2,_ 944; Jan. 2, $3,982; Jan. 4, 82.909; Jan. 5, $3,690. On the 2nd the profits were $1,274, while on the 5th they were only $884. ”The average for the four days was $1,000 a day. No wonder they could afford to put up bonds of $3,000. And there are some persons left who think betting on horse racing at those rooms is a "square”game.” CO. The Beach Broke.
