The Presidents Generosity.


rFOul inc OleNelanu Leader.
A lawyer friend of President Cleaveland's
from Buffalo gives me some interesting Cos
sip about him. Said he: "President Cleve-
land is worth about 100000, and he owns
considerable real estate in Buffalo which is
fast growing in value. He made about $685.
600 year at his practice before he got into
politics. Heis not an extravaganza man in
any 0 his tastes, and has never been SO. He
had class Of cases at Buffalo which paid
well, and he was often the counsel for cor
porations in big cases. While he was Cover
nor OF New York he gave away the whole of
his salary in charity, save that which he used
for his personal expenses and for the support
OF his mother. l have seen many instances
of his charity. One night | was with him
in his private office at the Albany Capitol. 1t
was after he was elected President He was
opening his mail, and many ofthe letters con-
tanned requests for aims / saw Gov. Cleve-
land answer fully half dozen of these by
enclosing So, $40 and at one time $50 bill
in an envelope witha kind word, and send
ing it to the beggar. One case was espe.
cially touching. 1t was that of an old man
in southern New York who had lost his
horse by death. He had little garden patch
ola farm, and this horse was his sole means
Of making livelihood upon it. He had
raised some money Oy Contributions from MS
neighbors, but still lacked enough by $50 to
buy the horse, which was to serve as the sup
port of himself and gray-haired wife. Some
ofhis neighbors had heard of Clevelands
charity, and had suggested that he write to
him and ask him to help him. From the
tenor of the letter you could see that the old
man was very proud of its composition and
handwriting He said that he had written
it himself with his own hand, and the appeal
throughout was that of supplemented, I'M
sophisticated, childlike person. Clevelands
eyes filled with tears as he read it, and he
put a twenty bill in an envelope and
sent it to him with few kind words. l have
no doubt" concluded this man, "but that
President Cleveland is giving away great
deal of his salary in charity. If he does so
you may be sure that no one outside of
the White House will know of it."
