AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
DIR. Mary walker Thinks That Miss
Cleveland is zone Of Us"


Cleveland is zone OF U.s."
An amusing incident occurred at the
White House reception on Saturday dur
ing the progress of the reception, in which
the President was an innocent principal.
He had gone out for drive, and upon re-
turning 10 the White House he found adj
mission cut off by the dense crowd which
filed the porch and all its approaches. To
add to his perplexity some OF the ladies in
the portico recognized him and insisted
upon shaking hands with him. This was
the signal for a host OF cOngTatulatory
callers who had not counted upon seeing
the President too, and he was literally sur
rounded by an enthusiastic audience of
ladies who were deaf to his appeals to be
let into the White House. Ingress or
egress was impossible, ard fully fifteen
minutes the President was forced TO re-
main in his trying position.
DR.. Mary Walker created the sensation
of the afternoon. She called early, and
was dressed in a new suit-Prince Albert
coat buttOned up high, dark trousers and
stout heavy boots of calfskin. \ high
standing collar and black tie gave a very
masculine expression to her thin face.
DR.. Mary entered the reception room
carrying a new silk tile in one hand and
a small umbrella with a silver handle in
the other. She walked towards Miss
Cleveland with long, sweeping stride.
Marshal McMichael, who was prepared
for almost anything, turned pale as DR..
Mary approached.
"Heavensw he calculated, "what am l
to do?''
He didn't have long to consider.
'Piease present me to Miss Cleveland"
said the Doctor sharply, taking him by
the arm.
Miss Cleveland knew nothing about the
Doctors strange popularity of dress, and
when Mr.. McMichael presented "Dr.
Walker she said pleasantly:
81 am glad to meet you, SIR"
81 would have you know that | am not
sir" said she, drawing herself up to
her full height. 81 am a woman, but l
have advanced IDEAS about dress"
$50 l perceive" said Miss Cleveland,
trying hard not to smile.
Il understand that you are one of us,
and belong to the advanced thinkers in
our seXy"
Miss Cleveland made no direct reply,
but simply said that she thought the
cause of womanhoOd was not suffering.
"YOu ought to be on our side," cOntin-
ued DR.. Mary, to the great annoyance of
the people waiting for her to pass on, "for

would not be in the White House to-day"
"lndeed!"
eyes; l know that l Influenced more
than enough votes to have turned the
scale against him in New York State"
At this point the pressure in the rear
became so strong that she was forced into
the next room, lot without assuring Miss
| Cleveland, however, that she would call
| again and often.
Despite DR.. Mary's intrusion the recep-
| ton to-day was a success. The White
House was crowded during the reception
hours with beautiful and handsomely

THE SHARON DIVORCE CASE.
A Probability that the UnsavOry Case
May Soon be Ended,

A Probability that the UnsaVOry Case
May Soon be Ended,
SAN FRANCISCO, March At is just
possible that the end of the unsavory Sha-
ron divorce trial may be reached before
long, not through decision of the courts
but because the woman whom Judge Sui
livan has decided to be Mrs. Sharon has
fallen out with George w. Tyler, her lead
ing counsel. The GOODNESS between eli
eut and lawyer dates from Dec. "a, when
the court decided the case in favor of the
plaintiff, upon which Tyler caused to be
published the contract between his client
and himself. Sarah objected to this, and
they have not been on speaking terms
since. all communications between them
being through Judge Terry. She also
complains that Tyler dismissed the libel
suit against the Alta California without
her consent, and that he forgot to prove
that Sharon was a resident of the State of
California, an omission which has now
allowed Of the case being brought before
the United States Circuit Court, where it
will all have to be gone over with again.
Sharon has not paid the alim0ny nor the
counsePs fees allowed by Judge Sullivan,
and to all appearance the plaintiff is as
far away from her goal as she was In
November, 1888, when the suit began.
Sarah is apparently losing all her friends,
owing chiefly to her ''rasping" disDosi-
ton, as Lawyer Tyler pleasantly calls it.
To-day Tyler published and distributed
an open letter to the Bar Association,
which recently acquitted Gen. Barnes,
Sharon's counsel, of unprOfessional con-
duct in relation to the alleged bogus con-
tract between Tyler and Gumpell, which
was produced on the trial. In this letter
Tyler attacks Barnes in the Yilest Ian
guage, and the publishers of tle Alta,
ArgORdut and Spirit Of the Times are SINH
larry revIled- The letter is SO indecent
and grossly libelous that it will be greatly
surprising if its author is not summarily
punished.

CREMATED AT LANCASTER.
The Request of a Traveller who Saw the
HIndoOs Burn their Dead.

The Request of Traveller who Saw the
HIndOOs Burn their Dead.
LANCASTER, Pa, March lathe sixth
cremation was made in the Lancaster
Crematorium this morning, the body in
Generated being that of Newberry G. Hills,
who died at his home in Chicago on June
s, 1884, aged Ga years. Tue body was en-
balmed and sealed in sheet zinc coffin.
AS the fires had been burning since yes
terday, the necessary degree of heat had
been reached, and the body, still in the
coffin, was placed in the retort. Within
two hours the zinc had volatized and
passed off through the walls of the re-
tort, and the body was reduced to ashes.
Deceased, while travelling in India, saw
the HindoOs burning a body on the banks
of the Ganges by their rude method of
placing the body on the funeral pyre, and
becoming a convert to cremation, re-
quested, during his last illness, that his
body be burned.

More Relics i'm the New Armory.


Workmen eXcavating in the New
Guards Armory, yesterday, dug up an
ancient and discOlored octagonal-shaped
granite tablet with the following inscrip-
ton in Roman characters on the smooth
surface:
w EARE-ALM : OSTGI WHIT
GAW-AYOU-RRE M-t-AINI-NGWI
TERST-f-OCKB. HE -NY&B-R-O
The solution of the inscription was
likely to have remained a mystery had
not an old European traveller happened
along and read it with ease. Messrs. b..
II. Levy & Bro, the popular leading
clOthiers, are willing to stand by the
inscription, and invite all to call at their
handsome parlors, 1S9, 191 and 1913 Con-
gress street, and avail themselves of the
surprising bargains in Gents and Boys

The Mann bOudoir car conductors have
not had their wages restored, and con-
siderable dissatisfaction exists among
them.
The work of grading the Savannah,
Florida and Westerns Lake Clty-Gaines-
Vile Road was begun at Lake City on
March Is. The right OF way has nearly
all been cut, and with the additional force
OF hands expected this week the contrac-
tors hope to finish the work in go days.
The presence of the chief managers of
the Florida Midland and of the Florida
Southern in Apopka last week has given
rise 10 the conjecture that these two roads
would be consolidated, and that the route
would be changed so as to run to Eustis
instead Of Leesburg. In that event the
Florida Midland would be built as mar
row gauge, connecting at Eustis with the
narrow gauge system of the Florida
Southern. The presence of certain in
fluential citizens OF Eustis with the party
furnished a strong indication that the
town was interested in what was going
on. Whatever may be done it is certain
that the road will soon be completed to
