The Too Utterly Fat Bridegroom.

New York Special.
Mr. Cleveland stood erect and solemn, un-
finching before the gaze of 1000 people and sew
enteen cameras, amateur and professional, that
leered at him from every available bay window,
besides one little black box, with some sort of
Gatlng gun arrangement inside that enabled the
man who carried it to fire off dry plate and
catch the President every time he smiled or took
a new position.
The President at first folded his hands behind
him. but before long his right stole around and
rested gently between the fourth and fifth but
tons of his coat. fondly caressing his bump Of
alder anicness. His left, with the big seal ring
on :, little fnger-the Presidents only jewelry
remained behind TO daily with his coat-tails.
He was a solid ubstantial-looking citizen as
he stood there; but candor compels the admission
that he was too utterly fat Being President
has not agreed with him. His chin has increased
its amplitude and his neck added new folds to
its volume since the last time he reviewed pa
rade in New York. Honors and ofice-seekers
have piowed new burrows, too, in his rugged
countenance, and increasing adipose has added
increased prominence to the peculiar markings
of his skin. In point of fact no matter how
great he is he was not bit nice to look at as he
stood in the glare this morning and clutched
with a pudgy hand the side of his hat-Drim
preparatory to returning the salute of the COM
mandng officer who rode at the head of the pro-
cesson. This salute and the ones given by the
bearers of the stars and stripes were the only
ones that he did return.

should be made known, for the reason that such
publication is certain to save both parties from

kindness to Miss Folsom, and 1t certainly

The President. however, is very fond OF mys-
terry. He dislikes to have the public know what
he is going to do He is very fond of sudden
surprises. He rarely consults his Cabinet officers
about his personal movements. Colonel La

pacitv to keep secret. The Colonel, l am sure,
does not believe in the Presidents policy of ex-
aggerated secrecy but he obeys implicitly, be-
cause that is the only way that he can please and
satisfy his chief. The President carries his
passion for mystery to such an extent that he
will change plan made very often if anything
concerning it leaks out. He has felt the weight
of the criticism which has been directed against
him concerning the mystery which he has
made over his marriage. and 1t was oy

A CRAFTY NEGRO
Succeeds in SwindlIug Many Churches

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. II.
"Rev." VIM. Smith. colored, was today
committed to prison without bail, to answer
at court a number of charges of larceny and
fraud in swindling various churches and their
Smith admits that he has
victimized the pastors of SO churches Of va
rious denominations and collected $1,000 in
the past two wears. His favOrite method was
to introduce himself as worker in missions
of South Africa. and he was invariably
invited to address the congregation.
He would inform his hearers that in the Afri-
can regions under his care, it was general
custom among the natives to throw sup.rfu-
Gus female children into the rivers to feed
crocidiles, and it was his aim to found a
home for these unfortunates in their own
country. At the close of the service he stood
at the door with hat in hand, receiving con
tributons. 1t was shown that he obtained
from a number of churches in the city vari
Gus amounts, ranging from 81 to S25. A
note book was found in his pocket and shows
that he collected $500 in Boston and $500
in Baltimore for his African as, lum and that
towns throughout the State and New Jersey
were victimized to an extent of from $50 to
$3.50 each.

MILITIA REPORT.
Maine Paid a High Compliment as to
Her Tarket skill.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
The annual encampments and evolutons
of the militia in all the New England States,
as well as in some others, were inspected
this year by regular army officers, and the
results of their reports are just made public
by the adjutant general. While criticising
the various details, such as the lack of uni
formity in clothing, poor attendance at roll
calls and a disposition to shirk guard duty
and other onerous duties of the soldier life,
the reports are unanimous in praising the
fine physical qualifications of the men who
make up the militia, the excellence 10 drill
and tactics, and the earnest manly efforts of
officers to improve their commands and main
tain high standard of discipline A general
complaint is made of the poor quality of
arms furnished the militia Most of the or
CARNATIONS showed much interest in target
practice and the Maine militia is especially
commended for its marvellous skirmlsh fir
ing. Several of the reports speak of the
need of thorough systematic instruction. 1t
is suggested tina. the war department should
detail officers to report to the governors of
various States, to be assigned to duty as in
structors, with no command whatever. Ii
is recommended that closely neighboring
States accredit visitors officially to State en-
campments, whose duty it shall be to take
notes and report upon matters of interest
to the militia.

men spared for five iseconds for an opeuing

lowed up with another right handler on the
cheek and ATTEMPTED to fellow up with
stomach blow. His hit fell short. For the
first minute the fighting was so severe that
Ryan began to show signs of failing wind
and Sullivan took advantage of this and
made rush at Ryan, when both clinched, but
quickly separated.
Second Round-Ryan again forced the
lighting. but with less apparent effect, though
he reached Sullivan's face and body several
times. He had lost some of his power
through becoming winded Sullivan on
noticing this. started to force the fight and
leading reached Ryan, who countered it
eh-ctually. Sullivan again reached for him
landed body blow which downed Ryan amid
loud cheers. This was repeated twice. RYAN
essayed the tactics of clinching to avoid pun
ishment, and at the end of the round it was
apparent that Ryan's chance for victory was
gone.
Third Round-This was regular slugging

pass Sullivan sent IN a terrific right handler

staggered TO his feet. He shook himself to-
gether and in a dszed way led off his left for
Sullivan's face. The latter stopped it pretti-
ly and then repeated his right hader on Ryan's
jaw. The blow was so violent and well di-
rected that Ryan went down as if shot out of
cannon. 1t was knock out of the clean
est kind. Ryan laid on the floor utterly una
ble to move.
The police rushed in, but it was too late.
There was nothing for them to do. The
fight was ended. Sullivan waved the time

ANOTHER MURDER.
A Young Swede Woman the Victim, n ear
Providence, X. 1.

PROVIDENCE, r l., Nov To-
Emma Pearson, the young Swede woman
whose body was found half buried under
leaves hard by the road between Hillsgrove
and Pontiac, about miles from here, had
been in this country about tw years. and had
been employed at Elizabeth MILL Hilsgrove.
She was known as quiet woman. who nota-
bly, avoided cOmpanionship, especially of the
male sex She was about 80 years old. She
left home Sunday, the 7th inst, to walk to
Pontiac and visit friends, and was never seen
alive thereafter.
From the fact that her companions who
were to have accompanied her on that Sun
day passed over the road only half an hour
behind her, it is evident the crime was com
mitted away from the road, as they saw moth
ing suspicious. There is evidence to show
murder, and possible rape. The woman neck
was almost broken and finger marks were
plainly visible about the throat, and she had
evidently been strangled.

ASKING WHY
lie should Not Receive a Promotion.
New YORK, Nov. Il

New YORK, Nov. Is.
Thomas j. Harris, one of the employees of
the customs house, was reexamned recently
with view to his promotion. NotwithstaDd
ing the fact that his percentage was the high
est, the promotion was given to another man,
an 'honorably discharged soldier" to which,
it was claimed, the law gives preference.
Harris wrote to President Cleveland to know
why he had been sci aside by a man far be.
low him in civil service examination The
case was referred to Collector Magone and
by him to the civil service commission. Yes
terday their decision was received. They
are of the opinion that preferences are for
admission to classified service and don't ex-
tend to promotion therein They hold that
in a competitive examination for promotion
in New York civil service, those graded the
highest in the register should in all cases be
the first certified to the appointing officer.
