To hide his discomfit ure, because of
the withdrawal of Miss Cleveland from
the editorial management of the Chicago
Literary L,Je, the manager gave out
that Miss Cleveland's health had become
so shattered that she hal to give up all
literary work. Evidently commenting
upon this the New York .Stdi. of Friday
says editorially: Miss Clevelands lit
erary life in Chicago was short but not
a merry one. She seems to have been
imposed upon by humbug, and very
properly withdraws. We are glad to
hear that the health as well as the op-
portunity for valuable literary work
continues at her disposal.
