Mrs. CIeveland's Courtesy.

The Washington C1rtjc publishes the
following incident in real life at the
White House: Mrs. Cleveland is a pretty
good Judge of human nature, and she
is the heroine of an interesting incident
which took place ut one of her recep-
tions one afternoon. Two attractive
young ladies were talking with the mis-
tress of the White House, and one of
them looked very intently at the neck
of her hostess, which was minus a col
lar. Mrs. Cleveland noticed the atten-
ton paid her, and said: Il left off my
collar this afternoon, because it was So
warm. Now, don't deny that was what
YOU were thinking about"
'.Another good thing that pleased
both of us, said one of the ladies, 'was
that Mrs. Cleveland did not forget our
names. but called us properly during
the hour that we remained in the Red
Parlor, and when we We're about to
leave she came over to us and wished
us good-by, and seemed sorry TO part
with u.s. 1t is making Mrs. Cleveland
very popular in Washin oton, especially
with women. for she always chooses IL
good subject to talk upon, and one that
she thinks will interest the caller. Ten
mis-. croquet, the latest novel, and femi-
nine decoration are discussed at the
drawing-rooms just the same as if she
had run over, knitting in hand, t.
spend the day with her dearest friend. "

Where Girls Abound.

l tell you that from careful observa-
ton and actual count there are just for
ty-four young ladies at Chautauqua
where there is one young man. AT the
approach of nearly every steamer to the
Chautauqua dock during the week Il
bevy of maidcns, fair and sweet, crowd
ed around with spy-glasses and opera
glasses in their hands, anHiously gazing
at the decks of the approaching steam-
er, looking for the possible coming OF
some more young men. 1t is absolutely
unsafe for young man to stroll about
here alone and unprotected. 10 walk
down one of the avenues like Palestine
or Simpson avenue alone, all alone with
ones self, and to pass by cottage after
cottage whose balconies are crowded
with heavenly beings dressed in white
lawns and dainty-tinted wrappers. is
really and truly sort of soul torture.
One must close his eyes and think OF
other things. of other worlds. and-well,
simply walk on about his business and
walk all-fired fast at that.
A young man met young lady.
Good said he, raising his
hat and passing on.
"Why, how do you do?" said she,
rushing up and grasping his hand.
"Where are you going?'
TO dinner" he replied.
'.Whats the matter with taking me
along?" she said, smiling sweeuy. And
he took her.
Another young man was rushing for
the boat. He met an old-time lady

ed on.

John KeiIy's Estimate of HIMSELF

When our townsman, Mr. George j.
Mager, was resident of Lowville and
treasurer of the Lewis County Agricul-
tural society. in 1882, he secured a
promise from the late Hon. John Kelly
and Hon. ThoSlas f. Grady to speak at
the annual fair of the society. Shortly
before the date fixed for the fair he
wrote to Mr.. Kelly for few facts in his
history and Mr.. Grady's for publication
in the Lowville papers. In reply he
received the following letter. marked
confidential" and which he still has
in his possession. Mr.. Kelly's death
having removed the injunction of sec
publish the letter:
confidential.
GRAND UNION HOTEL, SARATOGA,
Aug. IS. 1SS2.-MY DEAR SIR: Yours
of the 18th is ut hand. and contents
noted MIR. Grady and myself will
leave here or New York on the 18th
prox. for Lowville, arriving the same
evening, barring accidents.
Hon. Thomas F. Grady was born in
New York, served four years in the state
assembly, and is at present in the
senate. He is of Irish parentage.
| consider him one of the ablest young
men of his age in public life. AS
| speaker he is very superior in argument
| and stvlc to most of his colleagues
| in the senate. He is about 90 years of
age, height five feet seven inches,
square-shouldered, and weighs 10
pounds He has a thorough command
of his temper. His analysis OF difficult
subjects is natural.
John Kelly is GO years of age and was
| born in New York of Irish parents. He
| served two years in the board of alder
men. four years in congress. six years
as sheriff of the county of New York,
| and four years as city comptroller. He
| is five feet nine inches and a half in
height, and weighs 236 pounds.
have given you Grady's history and
my own, and you will probably laugh
at the description, but as you requested
me in your letter TO state our pedigrees,
| might add that we are clinker-built
and coppered and fastened, sound in
| wind, and we'll up on our pedestrian
| joints. Grady is good for long race,
and is'well broken to double and single
| harness, and trots well under the sad
die, stands without tying, and is not
| afraid of locomotives or other vehicles
of doubtful structure.
For myself, am nothing to brag of,
and have passed the meridian; too old
for Il speedy gallop, and fair for a long
| race; not easily scared, and very docile
under trying ana difficult circumstan
ces When the driver is tyrannical
usually take the bit and kick clear o.
traces. Usually halt when there appear:
to be willingness to give and admin
| lister fair treatment but will lead by the
halter only for short distances Will
drive with curb bit long enough tC
breathe stertorously. Yours truly,
| JOHN KELLY.

urer.

what Mr.. Kuhn Says About It.

Mr.. Kuhn, while waiting for the result of the
Democratic State central committees doings at
sts headquarters last night, was asked
by Journal reporter as to the
motives prompting him to resign. "Fren-
Nel," he said, ''took a high moral
ground and raised the point that no school
commissioner should be interested in any con-
tract awarded by the board. I have part
ner in the coal business, and we got the contract
to supply the schools with coal.

TO iniure my partners interests by giving up the
contract, as / would have done had / remained
an the board. John FreEzel told me
that the only reason for which he
wanted to be treasurer of the board was
to make money through interest on the
school funds Two months before he was elect
ed treasurer the first time he had a resolution
passed to the effect that the treasurer should not
be required to pay a share OF interest on their
funds to the board. Before this 1t was the
custom to give the board about 3
per cent. but he wanted it all. When the loan
was secured from County Treasurer Miller an
ARRANGEMENT made with the finance commit
tee to pay the notes before they
were due and thus save interest.
Frenzel insisted that the money should
stay in bank until the notes matured, which
cost the board about $50 interest, that could
have been saved. 1t makes tired to hear of
John Frenzel taking a high moral ground on
school commissioners making contracts with the
hoard"
