President from Prison to HJs Family.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 12.-The Presi
dent has pardoned r. Porter Lee, now
confined in the Buffalo penitentiary for EN-.
bezzlement. The following is the Presi-
dents memorandum in regard to this case:
This convict was sentenced in November,
1882, at Syracuse, in New York, to be con-
fined in the penitentiary at Buffalo for a
term OF 10 years, upon conviction for en-
bezzling t',e funds of the First National
Bank OF Buffalo, while he was President
thereof. While this is statutory offeuse
and somewhat technical in its charac acter,
the public are go mnch interested in the Sc
curity OF ourbanking institutions and such
strict faith and care should he demanded
OF those having them in charge, that l
am much disinclined to extend leniency
to those guilty of offenses like that for
which this prisoner was convicted. / am
entirely familiar with the case and knew
the prisoner long time before his convic-
ti''n. His 'ntence was generally regarded
at the time it was pronounced as Il very
severe one, being the full extent Of the law
With the Communication allowed in the
State OF New York for good conduct in
prison, he has served sentence
OF five years and it is entirely GER
tain in my mind whatever good is ever
to be wrought uuon him individually has
been already ACCOMPLISHED. At the time of
his conviction his wife, noble, courageous
and devoted woman, and five small
children were the sad sufferers for his
crime, and exacted the sympathy OF the
entire community. Nv her patient, hard
labor to support her children and her never
failing trust and hope in the darkest days,
this wife has demonstrated that she, at
least, is entitled to clemency. l am glad
to be able to restore to her her husban nd,
and satisfied at the same time that the
ends OF justice are fully answered.

A Wretched Old Man Gets Drunk on
Liquor Intended for Medicine.
ATHENS, Ga, July 11.-Peter Bettleblow
and his wife lived in this city tor many
years. The wife was worthy Christian
woman, bat the husband was a confirmed
drunkard, whose thirst for whisk y was in
satiate. Every dollar he earned went to
the barkeeper. This week the wife was
taken seriously sick, and her life was in a
critical condition. Her physician pre-
scribed whisky for treatment, and, as the
old people were without means, q son-in-
law gave the husband enough money to
buy gallon OF licuOr. He went down into
Oglethorpe County to man who is dealing
the ardent in defiance OF prohibition, and
purchased a gallon of whisky.
When the temptation to taste W as strong
upon the old man, he restrained his appe-
tite until near home, when he decided to
steal only a swallow. This only whetted
his thirst, and when he staggered into the
room where his sick wife lay he was bea silly
drunk. For two days he laid on the floor
in this condition, with the jug hugged to his
breast, and on awakening from his stupor
would ut once begin to drink again In the
meanwhile his poor wife lay upon her bed,
with no one to 1T tend to her wants, while
her besotted husband, was rolling like a
beast upon the floor, seltishly drinking up
the whisky that was to restore her to life.
The neighbors knew nothing OF what was
going on. In the meantime the poor
woman, through sickness and neglect, died
unattended and uncared for. To-day
some person CHANGED to pass and discov-
ered-' the husband drunk upon the ifoor,
while the poor old woman was lylng dead
upon her bed.

ing reply to his request that the State De.
partment give immediate attention to the
statement telegraphed to him from East
port that American boats were driven
away from st. Andrews on Friday by a
Dominion cruiser:
DEAR SIR have just received your
telegram OF this date. stating that you had
Il dispatch from Eastport, Maine, that
American boats after herring for sardines,
ut St. Andrews, New brunswick, were
driven away by a Dominion cruiser, with
the announcement that no American boats
will be allowed to take herring for
any purpose, and to this you
invoke immediate attention Of this Depart
ment. On the second OF June last you
called at this Department in company with
Senator Hale, of Maize, and then drew my
attention to a similar threat or influence
with the purchase of small herring for can
hlng, from Canadi n waters. On the same
day made representation OF the alleged
threats to the British Minister ut this
capital, and drew his attention to the
alleged violation OF lawful commercial in
tercourse between British subjects and
Canada and citizens Of the United States. l
was in hopes that further inter-
course with recognized and leRiti.
mate trade would be prevented,
but will again address the British Minister
upon the subject. 1t will assist materially
in all such cases of alleged violation OF
commercial rights, if accurate and full
statements OF all the facts in each case are
procured and forwarded to this Depart
ment, accompanied by affidavits. A great
deal OF loose rumor and sensational state
ment would be thus disposed OF aud a
tangible basis be laid for claims for COM
pensation by injured parties. have the
honor to be very respectfully yours,
