A Son of Secretary Chandler Iucurs the
Wrath of His Father.
Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa son of Secretary
Chandler was married last week in New England,
and the Secretary did not attend the wedding.
There is a little romance connected with the
marriage that has been told by a college eompan-
ion of the young man. When young Chandler
was at Yale ne was exceedingly popular, partly
because of the liberal allowance of money by his
father. During his college career he fell in love
with a young lady having all the requirements of
a good wife except money. 1t is said the father
of the young man was anxious that the son
should marry a wealthy girl. The son, as he was
a party in the contract, objected. Then the al
lowance was cut off, and the young man was put
upon his own resources. Being acquainted with
Governor Ordway, of Dakota, he secured a po-
sition in the Territory, several years ago. Since
then he has been working industriously, and has
been exceedingly successful. The result was his
marriage last week with the girl of his own
choice.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
Assignment of the Cleveland Paper Com
pany, with $780, 900 Liabilities.

Assignment of the Cleveland Paper Com
pany, with S25O,OOO Liabilities.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 2I.-The assignment of the
Cleveland Paper Company, when it leaked out
last night, astounded the commercial circles, as
it was regarded among the solidest corporations
in the West. Many exaggerated rumors are
afoat. The present embarrassment of the com
pany is a direct sequence of the failure of last
year of the George II. Taylor Paper Company, of
Chicago. When terms of settlement with cred
itors were agreed upon, mills at South Bend and
Mishawaka, Ind, were bought in by George H.
Taylor's father, N. W. Taylor, president of the
Cleveland company, who assumed the liabilities,
expecting the earnings of the mills
would assist him to pay the obligations. On his
return recently from Europe, where he has been
by his physicians advice III consequence of i'll
health, he found the mills had lost $40, 900 to
$4,000 in nine months. Unable to meet all
these personal liabilities, aggregating about
$40, GOO, without selling stock of the Cleveland
Company, of which he held a very large amount,
he quietly made an individual assignment.
Then, fearing his action would result in a multi
tude of attachments by creditors upon the prop
erty of the Cleveland Paper C-ompany-already
embarrassed by the failure of the Chagrin Falls
and other companies-and dreading to sacrifice
the property to satisfy such attachments, he de
cided that the Cleveland Paper Company should
also assign, as a means of protecting all credit
ors like, none being preferred. This compa-
nys liabilities will not vary much from
$3.50, 900, largely for stock and fine goods. Only
one bank is among the creditors, and that holds
discounted paper amply secured. The assets are
little. if any. less than $500, 900. Outside of con
siderable real estate, the remainder is principally
in raw material, of which a prodigious amount
is on hand. The assignee will operate the mills
to fill contracts, most of which are to furnish
print-paper to numerous newspapers scattered
over the Northwest. He will also dispose of an
immense amount of paper of all kinds in store,
and expects the company will soon pay all its
debts in full and resume operations as heretofore.
and owns, in whole or in Dart, or controls the
product of half a dozen mills in Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan.
Ia rumor to the effect that the Indiana Paper
Company was involved in the failure of the
Cleveland Paper Company gained some circula-
ton on Saturday, but was wholly incorrect, as
the two concerns are in no wise connected

THE POPE's BEST PICTURE.
Story of the Painting Which Leo XIII Will
Send to America.

Story of the Painting Which Leo XIII VIII
Send to America.
Rome Correspondence Baltimore Sun.
The Roman correspondent of the Sun relates
the following incident: The Pope has presented,
among many personal gifts to Archbishop Glib
bons, a fine, l~ife+size portrait of his Holiness, and
expressly indicated that it should be hung up in
the chamber when the Council will convene at
Baltimore.
This painting is executed by Cavalier Profess
sor Eurico Bon, "a celebrated artist of the Vene-
tian school. 1t represents Leo XIII at the time
when he issued the bull, Eterni PATHS, the
proclamation of the teachings of st. Thomas
Aquinas in regard to philosophy in the uni
verSities of the Catholic world. The style of
treatment of the exquisite painting is of the
great Venetian school, and a type of the purity
and accuracy so marked by the method of Prof.
Bon.
The story of how Archbishop Gibbons came to
see his picture is as follows: II was Just going
to the gallery, and, in the little lodge near the
private room of his Holiness" said Monsignor
Macht, the Pope's chamberlain, 'when whom
should [ see in a deep study of Cavalier Bon's
painting of the Pope but the quiet and amiable
Archbishop of Baltimore. He seemed TO be
in a very deep contemplation of it, and did
not disturb Monsignor Gibbons. While
he was thus sitting and admiring, in
in came the Pope in the equally quiet
and amiable way so peculiar to his Holiness.
The Pope stood contemplating the Archbishop
and his secretary, DR.. D. j. OConnel, both
making a contrast to the painting. All, said
his Holiness, what a painting would not this
group makeF and as he did so he came to Arch
bishop Gibbons and placed both hands on Mon
signors shoulders in a pleasant, lovable way,
and said: Would you like me to be sent to
AmericaF To this the Monsignor said. in his
affectionate manner: Yes, Most Holy Father;
America, too, would like to see you .Ah, then,
said the Holy Father, the best l can do is to
send this, my best portrait, and to Baltimore
carry it; and there let it be a reminder in your
council of my affection for your grand country.
And concluded the Papal Grand Chamberlain,
'when 1 saw this 1 quietly withdrew, leaving
the interesting group and the picture. And this
is Ray story"
