Presid ents and Their wives.

washington Letter IN cleveland Leader.
Old friends of Cleveland will take you
aside and whisper elnphatically that the
president will never marry. They will tell
you, and how true it is know not, that the
only wehaan whom the President really
loved has been in her grave for more than
twenty-five years. He met her, they say,
when he was school. teacher in q little
town in New York, when the down had
just begun to come upon his lip and she
was sweet sixteen. They loved, but were
too poor to marry. Cleveland had decided
to go West and make fortune, when his
sweetheart became sick and within few
DAYS died. James Buchanan's love Tilted
him when he was young man, and he
never c0urted another Fillmore had much
the same experience OF Cleveland in that he
was too poor to marry when he first fell in
love. He went off and spent three years at
Buffalo without seeing his sweetheart be-
cause he was too poor to pay the travelling
expenses of $50 miles which lay between
them. Most Of the presidents have been
true to their first loves, and the only in
stance of president marrying again is that
of John Tyler, who was too bashful to kiss
his first wife during their engagement, but
was bold enough to marry young girl
shortly after her death in the White House.
The first three presidents married widows,
and Washington had had one OF two love
affairs before he got Martha Curtis. WASH
ingtcn seemed to make it a principle to fall
in love with nothing but heiresses, and he
got nice dot with Martha Curtis, who used
to tell him she brought the money into the
family. Jefferson was good match while
he was IN the White House. He was
widower and true to his first wife. Martin
Van Buren, was also widower president.
and though he said sweet things without
number, lie did not talk love. Jackson's
wife was buried in the dress made fol her
White house receptions and Arthur put a
memorial window to his wife in st. Johns
Church while he was president and always
sat in her old pew.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The senate to-

several reports in cases disposed of some
time ago. In the case of E. D. Fem to
be postmaster at Nevada, Ia, vice T. J.

says there seems to have been no cause for
the suspension of Mr.. Ross other than that
he was consistent and active member of

sion was desired on that account in order
that member of the Democratic party
might be appointed in his stead. The COM
mittee finds nothing against Mr.. Ross and
finds Mr. Fem to be worthy man. In the

pended. the committee says the suspension
seems to have been made for political rea
sons. and it finds nothing affecting the per-
sonal or official conduct of the outgoing

reported favorably. Reports similar in pur
port to TIE above. though differing in terms,
wore made in the cases of W. T. Sharp,

All About a Bridge.
Special to the Globe.

ZUMBRo FALLS, MIMI, May 21.-An
important case, which has been in litigation
for long time, is being tried in the district
court at Wabasha. About three years ago
the bridge spanning the Zumbro river at
this point was demolished by an amateur
cyclone, for second time. When de-
stroyed this time the county commi Sioners
decided to place the bridge quite distance
up the river from the old site, and at point
where they thought it would be less liable
to be destroyed by storms. This the tax
payers and citizens living here strongly OBJ
jected to, and an injunction was served on
the county commissioners to prevent them
from locating the bridge at the new site.
The case has been tried twice, and now
comes forth for third trial. Each of the
other times the order of the county COM
missioners was reversed, largely because of
defective surveys. What the outcome of
the present trial will be is not known. The
costs thus far have been very heavy on the
county, and the end is not yet.

GATHERED IN SALTWATER.
The Board of Trade Holds an Impor-
tant Meeting.
Discussion of Free Tolls and the City
Schools.
Board of Trade Meeting.

An important meeting of the board of
trade was held last night The free bridge
question came up and WIS discussed at
length. A committee was appointed
to wait upon the city coun-
Gil at the next meeting and
see what it will charge the board to make
the bridge free TO Wisconsin farmers. A
committee was appointed to wait upon the
officials of the St. Paul & Duluth railway
and urge them to repair the platform about
the depot here. The question of the schools
came up and was discussed with much
spirit. From the speeches made it appears
that the manner in which the schools are
conducted is not satisfactory to the citi-
zens. The objections raised are to
one session at the high school
daily, to the early opening and to the board
of education fixing the number of school
months and the amount expended for school
purposes, which is contrary to law. A COM
mittee consisting of E. A. Phinney, P. l..
Foster, Harry Wheeler and Jacob Dear
INCH was appointed to wait upon the school
board at the next regular meeting and rec
ommend change in the school hours and
insist that the matter of fixing the number
of school months and the matter of appro-
priations be left to the people at the annual
meeting. instead of the school board as is

Der of wholesale establishments in the city,
Including an extensive farm machinery
sales room, and the numerous retail stores
seem to be doing fieurishing business.
THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
consist of flourishing Catholic seminary,
the state normal school, which is now over
crowded, and merits an appropriation from
the legislature for an enlargement of the
building, and five handsome public school
buildings. The city is ernamented with a
number of fine churches. Last, but not
least, the city is happy under the adninis-
tratlon OF a new Democratic mayor,
Hon. P. FL. Carney, who is de-
voting his time and energies to perfect
ing new plans for public improvements.
The city is provided with an excellent fire
department and a superior water and gas
system. One of Mayor Carney's plans for
improving the water works is to supply the
people with water for drinking purposes
from a large spring of mineral water in the
near Vicinity. The water is impregnated
with magnesia, sulphur and trace of iron.
and is almost exactly the same as the IA
nous Wakesha springs in Wisconsin.
