.O'I'IF'IGIAL~ HOLIDAYS OVER
Maj- McKinley May Not Go to Ohio
to Vote—Importance Attached to
~the President’s First Annual Mes-
sage.
Washington, Oct. 11.—The McKinley
Administration has returned to town
for the Winter season of work and
social functions. From now until
Congiess meets, on the first Monday in
December, the Government workshops,
including the executive mansion, will
be hives of industry, which will be in-
terrupted only by the brief political di-
version at election time. The President
and his secretary areat their desks, to
remain there indefinitely, and at the
Cabinet meeting Saturday all the mem-
bers were present except Secretary of
the Treasury Gage, who was delivering
'- One of his characteristic addresses at
Peoria, Ill.
To a delegation who waited upon him
a: few days ago to invite him to attend
a country fair, President McKinley said
that he must decline with regret. as he
had returned to Washington with the
determination not to leave it again for
’some time to come. Some people ac-
cept this statement as a deliberate an-
nouncement by the President that he
will not go to Ohio on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November to
vote at the election on the result of
which depends the fate of his personal
friend and political mentor, Senator
Mark A. Hanna, chairman of the Re‘
publican National Committee.
On the other hand. those who are
clOse to Maj. McKinley and know how
deeply he is interested in the success
of the Ohio Republicans this Fall, and
particularly in the choice of a Republi-
can Legislature, say that he will cast
his vote at Canton, as he has done for
many years past. It will be the first
important election since his inaugura-
tion as President, and his friends say
that he will make a point of setting a
good example to his countrymen and to
his fellow- townsmen. These same
friends of the President, hoxvever, were
not many weeks ago giving circulation
to the report that he would make a
rear platform campaign tour of Ohio
during the present month. It is not at
all likely that he will do so, and, in-
:leed, it now begins to look as if Sec-
retary Sherman wogld abandon his in-
tention to take an active part in the
Ohio campaign. He will p1obably go to
Ohio to vote. and he may make one
speech on na ational issues, but this is
not at all certain. as the venerable sec-
1etary said the other day that he be-
lieved it had not been customary for
membeis of the Cabinet to make cam-
paign speeches.
The first regular annual message of
President McKinley to Congress is
awaited with more than usual interest.
as it will undoubtedly contain recom-
mendations for the enactment of legis-
lation of the utmost importance, in ad-
dition to setting forth clearly and com-
prehensively the foreign and domestic
policy of the administration. President
McKinley has sent two messages to
Congress during his term, Congress
having met in extraordinary session on
March 15 last, in response to his sum-
mons. It was understood that the ses-
sion was convened for the purposes of
passing a tariff bill and authorizing the
appointment of a monetary commission.
The first object was accomplished and
the way thus cleared for legislative
action upon the many questions of
foreign and domestic administration.
It is because of the general belief
that at the coming session « Con-
gress .will act favorably upon
the President’s recommendations and
give his proposed administrative
measures active and substantial sup-
port that unusual importancc and sig-
nificance will attach to his first annual
message. Already the President has
begun to outline some of the features
of his forthcoming State papers. Many
1f the more important suggestions and
recommendations be made by the
various members of the Cabinet have
been brought to his attention, and may
or may not be followed by him in his
message.
Cne 1ecommendation, at least 1n1olv-
ing a radical c. 1a11ge in gmernmental
policy. is apt to 1eceive executiye ap
proval. This is the plan of I’1:1Sti‘1121$t131'-

ident will ask f01 its 11111101111111. consul—
eration by Congress.

Snufiing,

California Catarrh Cure does it.

And absolutely cures the worst cases

South Norwalk people say so. Not a
few, but hundreds among the people
you see every day, your own friends
and neighbors. Here are the words of
one of them: Mrs. Lafayette Craw, 3
Hamilton street, South Norwalk, says:
“My husband has had catarrh for a
long time, suifering at times with pains
in the head, hawking, spitting and
often gagging, especially in the morn-
ing, so that he would not be able to eat
much breakfast. He got a. bottle of
California Catarrh Cure at Pla-isted’s
drug Store, and already I can see its
beneficial effects; his throat seems all
clear in the morning, and he 15 able to
retain his breakfast. I take the liberty
to make these statements regarding
his case for I know he has been greatly
benefited by California Catarrh Cure,
and would willlngly recommend it.

SQUIRRELS AT $10 APIECE.
Two Connecticut Poachers to Pay
$80 for Violating the Game Laws.
Hartford, Ct., Oct. 11.-—The first ar-
rests of poachers in Connecticut
arrests of poachers in Connecticut
r. under the new game law this season
was made by Game Warden Tift in
Groton on Saturday. The men were
James Griswold and Ezra Andrews,
both of that town. They were found
with eight gray squirrels which they
had shot. Tift took the squirrels and
told the men that they would have to
pay a fine of $80 by to-dayor that the
law would take its course.
The new game law, passed at the
last session of the Legislature, maln-
tains a close season on squirrels and
most birds until October 15, much
later than has been the custom here-
to-fore. Game is abundant and reports
of the depredations of pot hunters are
becoming so frequent that the game
wardens are determined to enforce'the
law to the fullest extent. The fine for
each violation of the law protecting
gray squirrels is $10.
GIRLS CONFINED IN A PIG PEN.
Serious Charge Made Against an
Orphan Home in 'Ilvoli.
Oct. 11. —Cha1ges
cruelty are made in connection 1.it':1
the management of the De Peyster
Home for Orphan Girls, an ins.iturion
conducted by a Methodist society all
T‘ivoli, N. Y., and it is likely that an
investigation will be made either by
the town authorities or the Conference
of
Poughkeepsie,
officials.
The home is managed by E. F.
George. Hiswife is matron. There are
thirty inmates. all girls, ranging in age
from 2 to 16 years.
It was noised around the village of
Tivoli some days that two little girls at
the home had been confined in a pig-
pen on a bread-and-water diet for for-
ty- eight hours as a punIshmenIt for a
trifling offense. It “as said that the
little girls 11 hen released weie suffei-
ing from ne1vous prostration and a1e‘
now seriously ill. The charge. when
repeated to the matron, was not denied,
except that Mrs. George said that the
period of confinement was eight. and
not forty-eight hours. There is consid-
erable feeling in the village over the
affair. and the matter will not be al-
lowed to rest until It is probed to the
bottom.
