President Cleveland moved at once,
on taking possession OF the White
House, into his predecessors beautiful
hIne bedroom. The opposite room. in
which President Garfield was III so
LONG. and which was President and
Mrs. Hayes bedroom, is occupied by
Miss Cleveland. Except Arthur and
Cleveland, no Presidents have occupied
the room which is now the bed cham
her of the latter, and from December,
1891. until he moved out of the White
House, March 4, was the bedroom of
the former. The other Presidents, in.
Guiding Grant, Hayes and Garfield, US
ually slept in the opposite room, which.
being on the south side of the mansion,
is sunny in winter and has q breeze in
summer. During President Grants
administration, until her marriage,
Miss Nellie Grant slept in the room
President Cleveland now has, and dur
ING the Hayes administration his niece,
Miss Platt, used it until her marriage.
When President Arthur selected it in
the autumn of 1881 for his bed-chamber
Il was superbly fitted up before he
moved into it. It has the furniture all
upholstered in "baby blue'' satin da-
mask with faint gold flower wrought
in it The curtains at the windows
and those beneath the lace canopy over
the bed are of the same material, and
there is also lounge covered with the
same, which looks Just fit for lady's
boudoir. Even the woodwork around
the doors and windows was painted
blue for President Arthur. The cham
ber-set is of handsome black walnut,
and includes 8 tall chest of drawers.
Over the bed is lightly thrown an elder
down quilt, one side of which is sky
blue silk and the other deep rose color.
On the blue side are worked il colors
Kate Greenaway figures. Some of
them are human beings shaking hands
with each other, which probably is
thought a most appropriate decoration
for Presidents bed-quilt. A lambre-
ouin of blue satin covers the marble
mantel, and the mirror above has q red
plush frame. There are in the room a

one of which, it is said, President Ar

in the other when encasing his feet in
slippers. The latter chair is of ebon-
lied wood and has straight back and
no arms. It, and also the boot chair,
have red plush cushions finished with
bows of satin ribbon. The "boot
chair is of black wicker-work with
gilded arms. Adjoining this luxur-
iously furnished room on one side, with
a communicating door, is a bathroom,

s'The Tusky Boar"

The device of boar was used by
Richard III. before he was a king. and
when duke of Gloucester he had q pur-
Euivant named Blanc Sanglier. His
cognizance was q rose supported on
the dexter side by a bull, a badge Of
the house of Glare, and on the sinister
by boar, which boar he had found
among the badges of the house Of
York. ''The latter he selected for his
own personal device, and it was that
by which he was generally designated,
as we know by the doggerel, which is
said to have caused its composer to be
shortened by the head and four quar-
ters:''
''The Rate, the Cat, and Lowell our dogge,
Rule all England under the Hogge,"
meaning by the hog ''the dreadful
wild boa" which was the kings crest.
But Collingbourne was one of the most
seditious of the disaffected, and held
correspondence with Richard and de-
served his fate.
''When meant the King by name of hog.
only alluded to his badge, the boar.
Queen Margaret calls Richard .

''To fly the boar before the boar pursues
Were to incense the boar to follow us,
And make pursuit when he did mean no
Go. bid thy master rise and come to me.
And we viii both together to the tower,
Where, he shall see, the boar will use us kind
Again, Hastings says to Stanley:
''Come on, come on. where is your boarspear
man?
Fear you the boar and go so unprovidedp'
On the occasion of Richard second
coronation at York, Piers Courteis,
keeper of his wardrobe, was ordered
by him to furnish, among other things,
az standards of sarcenet with boar.

boars." Richard bestowed upon
Queens College, Cambridge, a seal
whereupon was engraved his cogniz-
ance, the boar. Nor was the bristled
boar wanting at the battle of Bosworth;
for, gorgeously attired in splendid ar

Gus by the royal diadem, which sur
mounted his helmet, Richard rode upon
milk-white charger superbly capari-
soned and attended by his body guards,
displaying the banner of England, and
innumerable pennons glittering with
the silver boar. After his death, Rich
ards body was placed across his war
steed '.like hogue calf, )" the head and
arms hanging on the one side of hi
horse and the legs on the other side
and was thus disposed behind his pur-

TT. SCOTT, has, April 18TH.
After consulting with the members of
the executive committee and as many
members of the association as was con-
venient, we feel it our duty to announce
that the meeting appointed for this
spring, at Oswego, is indefinitely post
poned, subject to be called by the exec

or October, next, or to the next regular
annual meeting in May 1886.
While it is unnecessary to go into de.
tails of the. treason for this postponement,
suffice it to say that there were several
reasons that seemed to many members
insurmountable in the way Of profita-
BILE and successful meeting this spring.

A Studio in Venice.

When the artist determines-as
sooner or later he is pretty sure to de-
termine-to engage studio in Venice,
another point of contrast between
London and the Italian town-unfavor-
able to the former-reveals itself to
him. Venetian studios are, with the
exception of a charming one lately
built near the Gale Ragusei by dis
tinguished English painter, small. and
when compared with the studios Of
Rome, Paris, or London very unpre-
tentious, but they have a great merit
unknown in those capitals, they can be
hired at a surprisingly low rent.
Twenty francs a month will secure
the typical Venetian studio, with its
chilly stone, or begrimed wooden floor,
its color-washed walls, its painted
ceiling, and its hideous stove. Ones
quarters there are not luxurious, but
they comprise all that is necessary
talent in the occupier presupposed-
for the production of pictures. The
artists living and working rooms are
seldom under one and the same roof;
the house in which is his studio
probably contains no sitting rooms or
bedrooms. When he gives up work
for the day he leaves his door key with
Luo PUHTO5Eo u Gu0 uOuSS, WuO6o B0I-
vices he enlists for the cleaning of his
domain, and whose limited realiza-
ton of the presence of dirt he is fated
speedily to discover. His own apart
ments are probably on the Grand canal,
where his gondolier, in a smart livery
and gay colored sash, enacts for him
the joint characters of housemaid,
footman, valet, and gondolier.
Or If his financial circumstances de-
mand a humber home, he may apply
his mind to the solution of the problem
on how small sum one may contrive
to live in Venetian pension. Or he
may hire cheap sunless bedroom, in
the back regions of q house on the
sunny Zateri, or Riva Schiavoni, may
dine at secondhand restaurants, and
appease what hunger remains to him
by impromptu meals of steaming soup,
Of vegetables or chestnuts, at one of
the multitudinous stalls whose pro-
prietors shout 'tCaldi ben coti''-hot
and well cooked-till their own threats
and the ears Of their listeners grow
weary of the sound. In no European
city can one live more cheaply than In

From New Orleans, queen city OF the
south, comes glad news and tidings Of
great joy to the million and quarter Of
Kansas inhabitants. The bread which
the pioneer settlers cast upon the waters
when they came to this state, then a
wilderness, but now the grandest and
proudest state in the Union, has for sew
erAl years been returning in great guam
ties, but the special telegram to this
evenings News is perhaps richer than
any had anticipated. The fact that Kansas
with the small appropriation of $1,000
should deliberately and uncsrmoniously
walk away with the most and best prizes
offered at the Worlds Exposition should
make every Kansan feel as though
"Himself were he. on whose sole arm hung
victory"
Kansas will soon have gained q world
wide reputation IS "prizs fighter" in
world expositions. Kansas was the
wonder of the centennial at PhiladeIph-
is, and that exposition had scarcely
closed before the emigration to Kansas
had been doubled. A state was never
more judiciously advertised nor never
received so large immediate returns.
The people that poured into our borders
then were of the same thrifty character
as those who had preceded them.
They adapted themselves to the new
state with applied yigor which gave
growing Kansas new strength and i'm
petus. Kansas has now grown to be one
OF the finest states in the Union, raising
the best wheat and yellow corn, the best
red winter wheat, and the best sorghum
cane. Our Shorthorn and Polled Angus
cattle come back from 3 worlds exposi-
ton bearing the first lsurels of the land.
OIL most noble Kansas, honOrably
and valiAntly hast thou acquitted thy
self. Water was meyer drained from
more fertile prairies. Streams never
flowed through richer valleys. The
school boy never breathed purer air
than thine. Thou art king Of the west,
the great west, and the fame of thy
corn, thy cattle and thy fruits
has gone throughout all the world. Thy
length and breadth is bounded but thou
reAchest upward TO the skies and thy
good name shall endure unto the end of
time

his English criticised he can avoid it by

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-Gov. Marmaduke,
in reply to letter from Col. Morse, gen.
eral manager of the stock yards at Kan
sas City. asking HIM to call q special
session of the legislature to take action
regarding the Heterogeneous, says
that he does not consider it necessary to
do so and asserts that the plague Is p-ac-
tically suppressed; that it has not at any
time been outside of Galloway county
and that official reports just made by
competent authority express the belief
that the disease is confined within a
radius of eight miles of Fulton Point
where it originated. The governor
further states that everything possible is
being done TO extricate the plague, and
says he believes sufficient money will
be raised by private subscription
and that the disease will be
entirely eradicsted within thirty days
The governor also thinks that other
states have acted very hastily and I'm.
wisely in quarantining against Missouri
He says he has been strongly urged to
retaliate against them, but will not do sc
and says he will continue to use every
means to suppress the plague and pro.
tect the interests of the state.

LAWRENCE, Kan, May, 1.-The an
nouncement to-day in the Lawrence
journal that the regents of the State Uni
versity had requested the resignation of
Miss Kate Stephens, professor OF Greek,
without assigning any reason, was the

here. A petition to the regents was cir
culated among the students of the Uni.
versity. requesting that Miss Stephens
be retained, and received the signature
of every student in her department
with one exception. The action of the
regents was great surprise to nearly
every one.

NEW YORK, May 2, 1915 a. H.
Last night was the worst night with
General Grant in two weeks. He slept
only at short intervals until O'Clock
this morning, at which hour he fell into
a sleep that continued until 8 a.
m. He then a woke again, but
afterwards dozed until between
9 and 10 O'Clock. When the doctor left
the house he said that the generals rest
less night might have been owing to
cerebal excitement resulting from the
work on his book during the past two
days. The weather, too, may have con-
tributed to the restlessness of the
patient. The throat and the general
physical conditions were not such as to
have caused uneasiness. and the doctor
found explanation of the fact In reasons
stated. The weekly consultation will be
held to- morrow
