hold and msnsged him in all the little
domestic affairs, Just AZ any sweet and
loving wife will MANAGE her husband.
He sometimes laughs at tho ease with
which she, in her pretty way, moves him
about"
Mrs. Whitney then goes on to deny
the story that the President drank to ex-
cess sometimes She says this story 10
rs false as all the rest She says thai
Mrs. Cleveland, though aware OF some
of the ISLANDERS, "has never understood
the full extent 10 which the hideous
scandal has grown. 1t is not easy for
any happy, contented wife to believe
half the world is talking about her
being abused and beaten by her hus-
band. Mrs. Cleveland has lived an
exceedingly open and accessible life
since her marriage" concluded Mrs
Whitney. "She had much company, has
been free in receiving friends and call
ers, and no one has Vet found her seem
ing to be anything than that which she
is--s happy wife. You have my per
mission to quote all have said. and L
sincerely hope this is the last of the
whole wretched falsehood."
Mr.. Depew, who was interviewed by q
New York Tribune reporter, denied Mrs.
Whitney's statement as TO himself, aud
in explanation OF tue dinner-party talk
says:
AFTER the ladies had left the room
conversation drifted on the various sto-
ries in circulation regarding Mrs. Cleve-
land, in which Mr.. Watterson's name
occurs. I repeated MIR. Watterson's
story as one generally spoken Of and as
a matter Of fact it has been given to me
from many different sources. have
heard it IN Chicago, st. Louis, and New
York. ] did not give my personal sane
ton to the story. could not have done
go. inasmuch IA had received it only At
fiftieth- band, and should not have done
so for the reason that | do not believe a
word of it, and gave expression to that
disbelief at the time"
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York San says that when Senator
Ingalls, was shown Mrs. Whitneys state
ment he said "Ihis statement Is utter
| ly false. ! have never said one unAnd
word of the President personally or OF
Mrs. Cleveland. All OF my criticisms OF
the President have been directed at him
as public officer, and not as private
individual or in bis private capacity. "
The correspondent adds for himself that
Mrs. Wbitneys talk doubtless will start
more gossip on the same subject, but the
weight OF her word will pretty efectualiy
dispose Of the worst phases OF the scan
dal.
The New York SIM editorially accepts
without question the denial OF Mr.. De-
pew that he told 40 true the slanderous
story concerning President Cleveland,
and regrets that he IS obliged to plead
guilty to having repeated the story, even
( though it Was with a disclaimer OF his
own personal belief in it, The Sun
says this twas an act OF imprndence
which be ought not TO have committed
it was a blunder which, If not worse
than the crime imputed to bin, was
nearly as bad. He is now deseryedly
blamed for having assisted IN spreading
tale which he should have suppressed. ~

which fell was OF the damp variety. and
ut 2 o'clock in the afternoon the loaded
telegraph and telephone wires began TO
break under the pressure. Then the
heavy electric-light wires began to fall
and at4P. n. everything was demo
rallied. Many telephones were burned
out, and the entire system OF the city
was rendered practically useless
In spite OF ali this storm the overhead
system in use on the electric railway re-
msined intact, and the electric-cars con-
tinued TO make their regular trips with
out stoppage or delay. According TO the
Daily Gdsettc before quoted "Ihere
were present all the conditions which IT
was feared might impair the useful
ness of the new motor, but not the
least delay or inconvenience result
ed. With the use OF two fifths OF the
capacity OF the plant, the usual number
of cars were operated and made the
usual time. And not only did the storm
illustrate the reliability OF the electric
motor, il also showed that the Union
Passenger railway line people made no
mistakes and did no poor work in con
structing their line. Not wire was
broken down, nor was any other defect
in the appliances developed. Telegraph
wires we're down in every direction. and
the telephone wires OF the city suffered
great damage, but the wires on the
Union Railway line stood the test with
out the slightest damage"
The management of the st Joseph
electrical road are so very well satisfied
with their Sprague equipment that they
have ordered an additional number of
cars, and the Wyatt-Park street rail-
way, in the same city, has ordered a
complete electrical equipment from the
same company.

Among party Of friends in Washing
ton the other evening Commissioner
William r. Morrison told good story on
himself. He said that IN the campaign
Of 1885, while he was candidate for the
UIated States Senate TO succeed Logan,
the Democrats down in "A close district
near his home persuaded popular and
wealthy brewer TO accept a nomination to
the Illinois Legislature. The German,
whose name was Mayer, did not want to
run, for. if he was elected, bis duties ct
Springfield would keep him away from
his business. But the Democratic lead
ers persuaded him that on the drst day
of the session the House would elect
speaker, on the second day United
States senator, and on the third day
PASS low-license bill and adjourn for
good. With this expectation Mr. Mayer
accepted the nomination and was elected.
On January LIST he went to Springfield,
with no baggage but an extra pair Of
socks, which he carried in his pocket,
and told the folks that he would not be
away more than o week. The House
was six weeks in electing speaker,
then spent four months trying to
elect senator, and finally defeated
Morrison, who, the German thought,
had a sure thing. Then his low
license bill was buried in a committee
room and high-license bin reported.
MIR. Mayer was very much disguised

declared that he would not repeat it for
thousands Of dollars. "Does bolitics, "

I am told that the art of the working
goldsmith is disappearing owing to the
cheapness OF diamonds. Every one who
buys 50 ornament insists now upon pre-
cious stones and estimates it rather by
the value of the stones than by the beau
ty OF the workmanship. The average
diamond which is used in iewelry has
fallen about 800 per cent. in the last fif-
teen years. Yellow diamonds are almost
worthless. There Is vast stock OF them
in the market, but no buyers. 1t is
very doubtful whether any white dia-
nonds have ever come from the de Beers
mine, Those that have reached Eng
land hon South Africa are believed 10
have all come from the Jsegersioniein
