CLEvELAND,s LOVE AFFAIR

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Events at the

marriage. If the president is in love and
contemplating matrimony he is a living ex-
ample of the error of the time-worn aphor-
ism that ''to be in love and to be wise
passeth mans capability," for he goes on
day after day attending to official bust
ness. Realizing perhaps more keenly since
Secretary Manning's dangerous illness that
all work and no play is prejudicial in the
long run, the president finds time to enjoy
himself socially now and then. Tuesday
evening he occupied box at the American
opera to witness the performance of The
Marriage of Jeanette and Sylvia" The
following evening the president, with Col.
and Mrs. Lamont, was entertained at dinner
by Marshal and Mrs. Albert Wilson. Fri
day evening the president was to have been

A Tribute to Holmes

LONDON, May 9.-The Daily News says:
Perhaps no American author, though all
are welcome, will be so welcomed as Holmes,
the patriarch of literature. Americans are
more hospitable than we, but even tardy
hospitable folk in England will welcome him
as Americans welcome Englishmen.

''They got up early the next morning. The
sun was shining brightly on the mountains,
bringing into prominence its snow-capped
peaks, immense crevices and rocks They
were more than ever impressed with the fact
that the mountains were only short distance
away. They concluded to walk over before
breakfast, as q constitutional. They walked
and walked, and the mountains still appeared
but short distance away and this lead them
on. After walking two hours, and being no
nearer apparently than when they first
started, they came back. Breakfast was over.
SO they got lunch at neighboring restaur-
ant. They did not say much, but their ex-
perience made deep impression on them.
Later in the day they engaged guide and
started second time for the mountains.
This time they prepared for the trip and
took something to eat with them.

THE TRAVELLERS CLUB.

Distances are very deceiving out our
way" remarked a Colorado traveller.
strangers have no idea how great distance
they can discern objects in our pure, varffied
atmosphere. They can see twenty and thirty
miles and can distinguish the outlines of OBJ
jects at that distance so they will not believe
at first sight that the objects, so viewed, are
so far away. They think, when told that they
are looking at objects many miles away, that
it is one of the stock stories told to astonish
sight-seers, so they take little credence
therein.
Two st. Paul young men came out there
last summer They were on their first trip
and knew it all. AT Denver, which is fifty
miles or so from the Rocky mountains, they
got their first view of the
mountains. Some old stager hap
peued to remark in their hearing
that the mountains were fifty miles distant.
They would not believe him, and intimated
that they knew something about rarifed air,
as they came from st. Paul and could not be
imposed upon. The informant kept still He
had met just such people before, and knew
that the best way to deal with them was to let
them alone.

Tho Snow Blockade.

KANSAS Cry, Jan. 22.-All through
trains west are again abandoned, and
business is at a stand still. On the Santa
Fe, Kansas Pacific and the Burlington
and Missouri river roads, except for local
trains. The Missouri Pacific to Omaha is
also reported blocked above Atchison.
The present experience is the worst the
western roads have known for many
years.
Sioux Cry, Jan. 22-The weather is
very cold; it was 24o below zero this
morning. Trains on nearly all the roads
are several hours late, and the Illinois
Central is still blocked up.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 22.-The blizzard which
has been raging since last night is the
worst known among the railroads for
years. In every direction it is very cold
and blowing at a terrific rate, filling cuts
and in the southern part of the country
making it impossible to keep them clear
long enough TO run trains. Trains on. the
Southern Minnesota division of the Mil
waukee have been abandoned, and on the
Iowa & Minnesota none will arrive until
about 10 this evening. None are going
out on this line. On the river division
a heavy freight train is stuck in the snow
drifts near Lake City and great trouble is
being experienced in getting it out.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.
Joaquin Miller's Daughter in
New York.
She Relates the Sad Story of
Her Wrongs.
Her Husband the Meanest Man
That Ever Lived.
Maud Miller's Story.

CHICAGO, Jan. p. Tho Chicago
Times New York special says: Maud
Miller, daughter of Joaquin Miller, has
arrived in this city, and says that the
story OF her suffering in Chicago and her
father and husbands neglect of her, is
true in every respect. She was assisted
to come to this city by several western
friends, and is now living in a small room
on Sixth avenue, New York. Miss Mil
Ter was told hat her father said she had
never been a ballet dancer. Father
knows better than that, she said. HE
knows he drove me to it. We were living
in San Francisco then, mother and three
of us children. | was just II years of
age; father was abroad. He says we re-
ceived $50 a month; the $50 came very
i~rregularly at first, then not at all. | was
compelled to do something to keep us
from starving. | applied to the Baldwin
theater, and was employed in the ballet.
Mother was very i'll at this time and we
were all suffering. From there | went to
Portland, Ore, with Rose Eytingc,
where, through my sympathy for a des-
titute little girl, Alice Mcdonald, l
was accused OF abducting the child.
Mother cabled to my father, who subse-
quently placed me in n Toronto convent,
Canada, where | remained five years.
Father paid 800 4 year for my instruc
ton there. One day he wrote me a long
letter, stating that he had done all a father
could be expected to do for his child.
Then he cruelty informed me that | must
look out for myself in the future. Wa
this like the loving father he pretends to
have been to me? My father says he sent
me to Paris after that with a wealthy
friend. lie does not say hat he gave me
but $50 in money and sent me as a mental
in a lady's employ. Father has never
lifted his hand to help me since the day he
gave me the 800 and sent me to Paris, al
though l have frequently appealed to him
TO relieve my distress.
Miss Miller then told the story of her
marriage. She repudiates her husband;
says he is the meanest man hat ever
lived; that she never received any sup
port from him. and that he never earned
more than IS per week. OF her expert
enc in Chicago, Miss Miller says: II got
to Chicago, but in a pitiful plight | was
without a penny; without clothing, and
as hungry as a wolf. l went to the Office
of Literary Life in that city, to sell some
manuscript ! had"

very unkind of Elder to retract his own
statements regarding my circumstances.
His first statement was true--cyery word
of it, but | think he must have been
afraid. Mr.. Elder was very kind to me;
it was he who secured me my fare to New
York and enough money to buy shoes,
which | needed sadly, If can secure an
engagement | shall know how to thank

have not been able to talk with ALL"
Mr.. James Wilson, the shipping clerk,
was standing fifty feet east of the shaft
when the explosion came. He says Il
heard a thud which was accompanied with
a dense mass of fog and mud. Before |
had time to realize the situation, in half
a minute a second shock came, the terri
fc burst of gas ripping off the weather
boarding and demolishing the upper part
of the shaft, thus covering much of it,
but it had caught thirty nine poor fellows
down there, and | think their doom is
sealed. The engineer blew his whistle;
this following the first noise was all the
notice the OWL needed. The people
knew there was something wrong at the
mine, and those whose husbands and faith
crs and brothers were down there knew
that too. There was a rush to the works,
women came f%ocking, and then began
the pitiful scenes which you have seen
here. 1t was a terrible sight. There was
a hope then and we at onee began to put
water down the shaft to scatter after the
damp and create a ~draught. The men
tried their best to get down in a bucket,
but they only got part of the way for their
lamps went out.
Fireman. Carroll an intelligent, observ-
ing Young man saws: ''There was moth
ing the matter with the air in the mine.
1t was good, and you may judge what the
men thought of it when they could go
down at 7 in the morning and come up at
I in the afternoon. Sometimes they
would sleep down there our and five
hours. | don't know what caused this,
but | don't think the company can be
blamed; nor do | think there is that dis
position. The people are crazed with
grief and are not responsible for what
they think or say.
At the bottom of the shaft the scene of
the wreck was horrible. Men, mules,
shattered cars, and all sorts of debris
were piled up in confusion. The men
trod on a body before they knew how near
they were to the dead. From the wreck
below it is supposed the explosion
was violent enough to blow the men out
of the most remote rooms, though ex-
perts differ as to whether the shock would
necessarily be fatal.

Floods on the Coast.

SAN Francisco, Jan. %. -General
Traffic Manager j. C. Stubs, of the
Southern Pacific company, reports the
%company's line between New Orleans and
Los Angeles open, and all trains between
these cities running on time to-day. Re.
pairs between Los Angeles and Mojave
are progressing iavorably. Telegraph
wires arc working TO nearly all places.
The steamer, Orizaba, arrived to-day
from Los Angeles and brings details of
the devastation produced by the storm in
that city and vicinity. The rains of Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday were reinforc-
ed by a cloud burst in San Fernando val
ley on the last named day, and the Los
Angeles river, almost without warning,
became a raging torrent aud soon flooded
the southern part of the center OF town.
The water also covered over 1000 acres
lof orchard and vineyard, and rose two
feet higher han the food of the year
1884. Over fifty houses were washed
away or completely wrecked, every bridge
across the Los Angeles river was swept
away, and also hundreds of feet ofthe track
ofthe Southern Pacific and local railroads.
Telegraph poles were included in the gen
eral destruction, and for three days the
city was cut eff from Geographic and rail
road communication with the rest of the
world. Mrs. Kate Lyle and Tehresa
Whitney, daughter of Thomas Whitney,
a carpenter, were drowned while being
rescued from a partially wrecked house.

Washington News.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Gen. Sheri-
dan, in his recent examination by the
congressional commission considering the
organization of scientific bureaus, ex-
pressed the opinion hat so far as the
utility Of Fort Wyr. is concerned for the
purpose of teaching military signaling, it
could be dispensed with. A signal bureau,
he said, had nothing especially to do with
that work. During the war no trouble
was experienced in training signal men
for service. Meteorological work he did
not consider as belonging to the army,
but the business of the country. While
it might be necessary for the present to
keep up the military feature of this serv-
ice, he thought it would be well to grAdu-
ally work out of it.
Secretary Lamar decides that all appro-
priations made by the legislature of Ari-
IONA in excess of the sums appropriated
by congress, were in violation of the law,
and void.
Private Secretary Lamont said to-day in
regard to the reported attitude of the
president on the subject, that as yet the
president has not received any requests
from the senate for information a. to Off
cial changes, and consequently there can
be no truth in the reports that he has re-
cedcd from the position to which he had
been called on to take. Mr.. Lamont
added hat the president has never made
any statement as to what position he
would assume in case such requests are
made.
The senate committee on public lands is

sioner of the general land office with the

the report of the fertilization board. 1t
is a long document and describes fully the
necessity and advantages of better coast
d%efenses. II is estimated it will require
about $780, 600, 900 to establish a good
system of defenses. Recommendation is
made that an appropriation of $2l 900, OO0
be made at the present session of congress
to secure the necessary plant for begin
ming the construction of such heavy ord
nance as will be required. The board also
suggests the establishment of two govern
ment foundries, and recommends the con
struction of torpedo boats for harbor pro-
