Mrs.CIeveIand's Influence.

The presidents young wife has more
influence over him than most people
readily imagine. Not long ago a youn g
man went to Washiguton and through
the influence of fast company, became en-
gagged in a criminal transaction. 1t was
his first offence The law officers, how
ever, hunted him down aud he was tried
and convicted. Owing to certain ext en-
uating circumstances, the presiding judge
did not send him to the penitentary, but
sentenced him to eleven months and
twe1tyrnine days in the Jail of the Dis

Boston IrdoelLer, than his best friend, his
mother, went to Washington from her
home hoping to secure pardon for her
erring boy. She was venerable white
haired old lady, with sweet. but sad
face, and she worked night ana day for the
object which she sought TO attain.
One morning she went over to the

convinced of the absolute truthfulness
of the story of the sons downfall After
the two ladies had talked the matter over,
Mrs. Cleveland told the mother to wait
a few moments while she laid the case

R. B. Hayes was delegate at the re-
cent conference of charities and correc'
ton which was held in this city. As he
sat in the senate chamber of the state
capitol, his hair and beard white and his
face more wrinkled and careworn than
when he. in connection with his wife,
occupied the White house at Washington,
numerous spectators at the gathering had
him pointed out TO them and gaZed on
him with some curiosity. Among the
number was an ex>army officer. The
latter looked long and intently at the late
occupant of the executive mansion.
THAT'S The man, said the military
man. He looks it, TOO.
Looks what?" Inquired hystander.
Looks like man who would see
another fellow suffer for his own short
comings and never saw word in his de>

dent, suppose YOU remember, 1t was
known as u cold water administration.
No wine or liquor was allowed on the
White house table. Many believed that
Mr.. Hayes, or his wife, was moved by a
desire to set good example. Others in-
Guiding those people who know Mr..
Hayes very well. thought that move was
on the score of economy. Hayes was
not a total abstinence man, but was
and probably is now. in the habit OF
drinking on the sly. While at Washing
ton he was in the habit of visiting an old

on these visits the president invariably

point to keep good supply of liquor OF

dent to help himself, and, so far as is
known. the president never failed to ac-
cept the invitation"
On one Of these visits the Fraudulent
President took more than he could hold,
and the result was that he became tipsy
so much so, in fact, that his host felt
called upon to escort him back TO the
White House. On arriving at the private
entrance, the escort and his tipsy charge
started up stairs, when Mrs. Hayes met
them. She was not tiekled to death at
the sight, either. She did not even thank
the army officer for assisting her husband
home, but intimated that if left alone,
Mr. Hayes would not touch anything,

occurred, in which two men lost their lives.

Several men present called on Chauncey
Hague, constable Of Granville township to
suppress the nuisance. MIR. Hague placed
Garner under arrest and, putting a deputy
in charge of the BOOTH started off the
grounds with his prisoner, when Edward, a
brother of John Garner, ran up with an ak
in his hand and struck the constable blow
on the neck, seyering the wind pipe and cut
ting through the collar-b oue down into the
lung Tet Fogerty, who ran up to Hague's
assistance, received blow from the AK in
his left side, cutting through the ribs and
almost severing the body in twain. Before

not been captured. Great excitement pre-

the bill was revenue bill, 1t taxes an
industry that can stand it, at the same
time it forces butter limitations to stand
on their own merits and forces due regard
for the peoples health in their manufacture.
1t is hoped, also, that having placed tax
on this product congress, will in consistency
take the tax off some other, things, and
thereby relieve the people of a burden.
Honest manufacturers of oleomargarine, be
thinks should not complain of the bill, for
it will drive out of their company the dis
honest ones, at the same time that it does
not materially deduct from the profits of
