The Presidents Future.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 20
Wilson Shannon B~issell, former
law partner of President Cleveland,
told The Republic correspondent
to-day that he was heartily dis
gusted with the way the newspaper
men at Washington were planning
for Mr.. CleveIand's future. 1.-The
President has given no thought to
his FUTURE" said Mr.. Bissel, ''be-
yond sense of the fact that he
ought to have a rest when his term
expires. He has gwen 10 thought
to the nature of the rest, and
guessers are equally wild as to
whether it will be q rip to Europe
or a summer in the Adirondacks."
"Will Mr.. Cleveland return to
Buffalo to live ?"
II am quite sure he will not.
His occupancy of the presidential
office has opened to him a wider
field of usefulness than he could
have in Buffalo. But don't quote
me. | do not want to be inter
viewed, and all | really know is
that MIR. Cleveland is very busy on
his message to Congress-"
"What will it be about ?"

Mr.. Bissel in another interview

Was Il Marshal New 2

Al Sedalia last night Rev. J. l..
Gay, of Fayette, delivered his
lecture upon the identity OF Mar
shall Ney, of France, at Calvary
Church, that city. He was intro
duced to the audience by Col. Tom
Houston, who was his Schoolmate
in South Carolina in 1928, at Il
school taught by Peter Stewart
Ney, whom DR.. Gay believes to
have been none other than the il
lustrious Marshal of France under
the Third Napoleon. He has a
vivid recollection of the pedagogue
o fhis early day, and has prepared
a lecture wherein he lays grea,
stress upon the similarity ornames,
form and general bearing of the
two men, even to the saber seal
upon the forehead. Frequently in
the course of his address he refer,
red for confirmation to Col. Hous,
ton, who sat just in front of him.
He told the story of Ney's execu,
ton and the theory that the soldiers
selected to shoot him overshot THEN
mark. Ney, teigning death, was
placed in a coffin and delivered to
his friends, who were waiting neal
by and bore him off. He then
sailed for Charleston, arriving there
in 1917, afterwards becoming 3
school teacher of much renown.
DR.. Gay is of the firm belief that
the great Marshal and his humble
schoolmaster were one and the
same man.

ing to share the joys, sorrows, ETC.,
of life with him. Some desire to
marry at once, others, a little more
modest, simply propose to exchange
photos. One ladv has been left quite
a fortune and needs a guardian,
and wouldn't Mr.. Babcock kindly
conesnt to act as such for her?
Another feels certain that she could
make a companionabIe companion,
and each one feels sure that she is
the one selected by fate to assist
him to obtain the fortune his uncle
left him. Mr.. Babcock is the envy
of all the young men in the city,
but he is we'll on in years and may

THE STONE.

We select the following from a
Spokane Falls, Washington Terri
tory, special dispatch to a st.
Louis paper:
"Four weeks ago Hans J Hotter
came to this city from Lincoln
County, Minnesota, with his wife
and seven children. Soon after
their arrival the mother and nearly
all the children were stricken down
with pneumonia. Friday afternoon
Hilda, a baby girl 2 months of age,
passed away. Yesterday Louise,
alright little girl of s years, died.
Half an hour afterward Christian,
a 10-year-sld boy, was a corpse,
and an hour and a half thereafter
Inga, the 2-year-old girl, slept the
last long sleep beside her brother
and sisters. The mother and sur
viving children were removed to
the hospital. Other families in the
same neighborhood r as much in
need of assistance as the one
mentioned. The father, unable to
get work, and now reduced in cir
cumstances, is almost crazed with
grief"
And this family went to Wash
ington Territory to bask in the
sunshine of a never ending spring;
to work at light employment at
enormous wages; to live a life OF
ease, to better their condition in
life. Can it be said that they are
to blame for making the venture ?
Gaudy circulars told them ofwealth
for those who would simply take
the trouble to seek it, and they be-
lieved what they read. The ''boom''
editions of newspapers, IN the
hands of unscrupulous persons that
annually heap lie upon lie and ruin
one home after another, probably
had something to do with it. 1t i:
time for the people who would seek
new homes to think twice before
acting once. When you read of the
untried glories of a new country
compare the advantages claimed
with those of the home you are
about to leave; deduct fifty PEI
cent. from the story of rich land
and wonderful climate and theI
compare what remains with tn,
known advantages of the country
you call home. If then you dom
conclude to give up the idea of be
coming a rolling stone, we say, g
it, and may God be with you.
