WASHINGTON. July 14.-The reader will
here have the pleasure Of seeing one of the
urst reliable portraits Of Miss Cleveland that
has been published. This illustration has
history which borders upon the romantic.
The president frowns upon pictures, it
seems. They say he has remembrance of
campaign cartoons not soothing to his nerves.
AT any rate, he does not take kindly to
having his sisters likeness made public
Really, he needn't be ashamed of it. Rose

Rushing to the Rescue.

The Statesman this week rushes|
to the rescue of the School Board.
Its editor is president of the Board,
we believe. We have no interest inI
the colored school management,
more than we have in the white, and
that is to see the will of the people,
respected, and teachers put in and
maintained who devote all their
time and attention to their duties
and who please their patrons andl
keep their good will. Will the States
man on behalf of the Board answer
these few questions:
Ifschool commissioner is "a thank
less Office, why is there such fight
for it, and why do some ofthe friends
crowd around the polls all day!
Why cannot men of property, likes
Col. Thompson, be elected against
an opponent with whom there is mol
comparison
Is it true las rumored) that the|
Grammar School consumed 80 tons
of coal last winter, purchased all or
nearly so from one man; that the
furnace busted up and the children
suffered from cold and had to go
home Then why did outside par
ties interest themselves so much in
their favorites as to come up INTO
this Office and write articles in their
favor?
AS to teachers What white teach
er ever went off to political con
ventions and begged money to pay
anybody's way?
What white teacher attacked de-
cent people through supplement of
the Martlnsburg Mugwump.
What white teacher does dirty
political electioneering work for

Who opposed Rohrbaugh E? No white
teacher.
The cOlored school is divided up;
a large private school was kept up
last winter and will be this winter
all on account of an Objectionable
principal. What white school could
be run that way for a day! The in
fiuence of such state of affairs upon
the children is far from good, and
the whole tendency is against the
good of the free schools.
Is it not a ridiculous farce to have
white people certify to colored man
and thus push him on the colored
people when they don't want him.

PERSONAL HISTORY.
Miss Cleveland taught school in her young,
gddy days, like so many other gifted and
noble women. We are given TO infer that
she did this from love Of school teaching
and independence, and not at all because
she wanted money. But from some prac-
teal experience of this pleasing occupation
the writer hereof feels qualified to say that
Is probably bosh. Rose Elizabeth taught
school for the money. Don't tell me! She
was schoolmistress a number of years.
Then a sister who had been taking care of
their mother at home in Holland Patent, N.
Y, ungratefully married and skipped out
and left the venerable dame. The lady who
taught school for the love of it was thus
obliged to go home and keep house for her
mother. Grover, too, was oat and gone by
that time, s. there was absolutely nobody
left to straighten the oil lady's caps for her.
1t is impolite to print lady's age right in
broad daylight. But Miss Cleveland is said
to be between 40 and 50. She liked her own
way when she was no more that a girl baby
AT very early age she refused to go to
school with other little girls. Whether it
was because she was too toney we are not
told. At any rate, she educated herself
with the help of the minister and her fathers
library Miss Cleveland is a self made
woman
The education in her fathers library prob
ably accounts for the lady's tremendous
learnedness. Her book-lore is something
appalling. She knows SO awfully much that
she scares you. Before her brother was
elected president, Rose Elizabeth spent her
time lecturing to female Summaries and
sweet girl graduates. She kept at it up to
the end of February last Then she pub-

No, the Republican party is not
going backward. 1t is to be judged
as whole and not from a part. Its
progress is to be measured by a Sc

Republican line stretches across the
continent; Republican history spans

deHcy is determined, not by the sag

but by the general advance of the
broad front. The PENNSYLVANIA

GENERAL GORDON.

An Apparently Well-Defined Doubt In Re-

1t.
LONDON, June "a dispatch from
Cairo states that Coptic merchant,
whose reputation for truthfulness and
honesty can not be questioned, has just
arrived there from Khartoum, bringing
the startling news that after the rebels
had forced an entrance into the city, and
after the the massacre of the inhabitants
of the place, the Mahdi demanded his
followers to produce the head OF Gordon.
Some of the Mahdi's leaders produced
the head of man whom the merchant
says he recognized as that OF NJ. Hanzals,
late Austrian Vice Counsel to Khartoum.
He asserts positively that no trace OF
Gordon could be found. He viewed the
remains of several European victims of
the massacre, aud personally examined
the clothing of the bodies, but failed to
find any documents or evidences of any
kind TO satisfy him that any of the bodies
was the remains of the lamented Gordon.
He further AYERS most solemnly that 1t Is
his belief that Gordon made good his es-
cape south.
