New York, March 3. Referring to the position President-elect Cleveland will take regarding the political fac tions in this State the Herald says: When Mr. Cleveland announces the dames of successful applicants for office it will be plain that he is endeav oring to hold.aloof from faction fights in New York. His determination now is to recognize neither faction in hh first appointments, but to parcel out gifts to whom he considers competent, men, irrespective of their affiliation with either machine-men or anti tnappers. Both Cleveland and his advisers fully expect that this plan will lead tU com plications. If Cleveland selects a ma chine-man for place and the anti-snap- pers "kick" lie intends t ignore them. If, on the other hand, he names any of the prominent anti-snappers for office and the appointment raises a breeze in "kick1 the ranks of the Hill-Murphy combina- tion they will receive a very clear in- timation from headquarters that Mr. Cleveland cares for none of their ad vice.

St. Lonls Grappling tVlth the Smoke Nuisance A New Bridgo Acros the Misslsslonl. &f' ?.'ntif. Feb. 24. In a group of business men smokls? cigars after din ner at the Mercantile club Jh other afternoon, the statement was made "by a manufacturer that the city would spend fully a quarter of a million dol lars in testing smoke-preventing de vices this year, ne meant, of course, the manufacturers of the city who have joined the club which intends to clear the air df the smoke. This club got up the bills organizing tho city crusade against the smoke nuisance, which tho Mayor has just signed. The lawn cs tablish a trarean with inspectors, whose duty it is to proseeiild those who will not use smoke preventing devices on their furnaces. A peculiarity of the law that distinguishes it from those proposed n otner cities is uiai any in- ventor can havVJ lite device tested and its merit decided upon -by aboard of experts paid by the city. The club hopts to rid the city of half of its smoke cloud by the beginning of summer. Ever since the Merchants' bridge was conlpfcfe'd ifc has been Been that St. Lotlis would have to have another one to cross the Mississippi for the special use of foot passengers and vehicles. The Eads bridge built up En St. Loui9, and tho Merchants' bridge made Sfsdison and eniee gro'.v i into uounsuiug iuw. j i.c tip; these two towns cannot get iO S. Lori on foot or by vehicles. They must use fie rlar trains of tho Mer chants' Terminal Company, or wait for ' slow ferry-boats. They want a bridge ( over which electric cars can run, and j people can walk. The bill now before Congress provides for this kind of a bridge, which is to be built by St f Louis men at a cost at about 300;ooo. Mayor Noonan has just .sig":ied a bill that will give St. Louis another eiec- t trie street railway before the crowds ' begin to fill the city for the j Fall Festivities. The road will I run along Grand Avenue. one i of thc widest and most important resi- dence throughfares of the city. It will enable one to ride from the cemeteries, to the Grand Avenue viaduct, and across that to Tower Grove Park. Thc road will cost half a million dollars, and will be built entirely by St Louis capital. The St. Louis Turner societies are noted all over the United States for ther gymnasts. There are six turn halls in the city, and the membership of the societies is over 20,000. About five nunurea oi tne oest oi mese gymnasts are being drilled for exhibitions at the World's Fair. The corps will include i all the young athletes who participate j in the events on the Turner nights at t t" at. Louis exposition, and there will be besides, a specially drilled body of . a hundred men or so who are known i among tho Turners everywhere , as prize-winners in inc national competitions. The corps will go to the World's Fair prepared to issue and re- ceivo challenges for all sorts of feats of strength and skill, and they hope to I engage in competition with Turners from Germany. ' Russian I'aters. The Russian eats on an average every two hours. The climate and custom re quire such frequent meals, the diges tion of which is aided by frequent draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is i the Russian whisky made from pota- I toes and rye. It is fiery and colorless, and is generally flavored with some extract like vanilla or orange. It is i drunk from small cups that hold per- I haps half a gill. Vodki and tea are thc inseparable accompaniaments of friend- . ly, as well as of business intercourse in tho country of the czar. i Cataract. Cateract is an opacity of tho lens of the eye.
