KATIE'S TINY GOLD WATCH.

Now Dreadfully Sorry She Put
That Note in Mayor O'Brien's
Turkey.
EAST RANDOLPH, Vt, Dec. About
the most distressed girl in Vermont to-
day is Miss Katie Gillette. of East Ran
dolph, who wrote the note and poked it
away under the tail of dressed turkey
that fell into Mayor O'Brien's hands.
That is no name for it. Katie is sick,
for and sudden notoriety which she and
the kind-heartcd mayor have attained.
The pretty little gold watch which she
has tied to blue ribbon and car
ries in her bosom has turned to
ashes and dust in her mouth. SO
to speak. Bushels of letters come from
all over New England-letters with
every mail-till the good-natured and
long-suffering John Buzzell, the young
and handsome stage driver who carries
the mail bag every day from Royaltcn
up through the valley to East Bethel,
South Randolph, East Randolph and
Brookfield, seventeen miles. is doing
some tall kicking at its weight. John
says this thing has gone on about long
enough. But John is not SO weary as
Katie. A reporter called on her at her
home the other evening and found her
way down in the slough of despond.
Her mother. however, feels more keenly
than Katie herself this sudden blow at
the happiness of their quiet home.
Il don't see what I've dOne," she
said. that should be called forward
girl and Vermont schoolmarm' lem
phasiZing the marin, and accused OF
begging presents Of strangers and
playing them for suckers Q, dear;
o. dear. What have done? l didn't
mean it; indeed, I didn't. 1t was only
as a joke, just for fun, to see if "nything
would come of IT," and the .,,or girl
broke forth in sobs. atie can stand
the letters, but the p she received
made her indignant. Sv.Ie were marked
copies and some were not. She hurried
through the unmarked copies to see if
they contained some new attack upon
her fair reputation. Up in the corner
of one paper was written: "What time
is it, Kate?" And Oh another, ''In what
part of the bird did you put that note?"
Katie is nice girl. She teaches the
village school at East Randolph this
winter, boards at home, gets 81 week,
and has fifty pupils in about twenty
five different classes. She has worried
herself almost sick over her present
troubles, and at one time had serious
thoughts of giving up her school, but
will probably pull through all right.

Mrs. Whitney Tells an Inter-

WASHINGTON, Dee. THE CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune tele-
graphs his paper as follows: For more
than a year the most scandalous and
distressing stories concerning the home
relations of the president Of the United
States have been current. These stories
in one form OF another, but always
black and hideous, have been passed
from mouth to mouth. Nearly every
one has heard them, and occasionally
they have found their way into print.
At the st. Louis convention which nom
mated President Cleveland for re-elec-
ton a pamphlet in which these stories
were summarized in sweeping and
savage fashion was secretly clrcu-
lated by Democrats from New
York. During the campaign no Re-
publican journal of good standing made
the slightest reference to the stories,
which. if true, would utterly disgrace
and remove beyond the pale of gentle
men the president of the United States;

HAS not the president sometimes
lost his temper over the malicious false
hoods told Of his domestic !!ite2a
''Of course he has been uch an
noyed, but he has always said he had
100 much confidence in the people to
believe that such ISLANDERS would find
many willing ears to listen to them. He
has been repeatedly asked to say some
thing for publication, but has replied:
1 guess we can keep Mrs. Cleveland
out of this little longer OF, is it
necessary to bring Mrs. Cleveland into
the campaign?'
'And has Mrs. Cleveland been much
worried by the slanders?"

She has never understood the full ex-
tent to which the hideous scandal has

is talking about her being abused and
beaten by her husband. After that
Massachusetts minister was here and
made such wicked statements she came
out in delicate little note, you remem-
Der, saying how happy she was, and
later her mother wrote friend that she
would not ask for a more kind and con-
Siderate son-in-law. Mrs. Cleveland has
not known but these statements were
sufficient to kill the scandal.
SOME IDLE TALES.
"But the stories have continued, l
notice, and have been growing even
worse. Why. they had it that Mrs.
Folsom had to fly to Europe; that the
president drove his wife out Of the
White house, and we had to take her in;
that Secretary Faircliild was once called
on to help patch up peace, and only
last summer Mrs Shaw. the good old
mother of the wife of Gen. Francis Bar
low, the New York lawyer, was put
into dreadful nervous state by the
story which some one told her, claim
ing TO have it on the authority of MIR.
Whitney, that after the election the
president and his wife were to be di-
vorced. Mrs. Shaw made Gen. Barlow
come to Mr.. Whitney and ask him
about it.
"Mrs. Cleveland has lived an exceed
ingly open and accessible life since her
marriage" concluded Mrs. Whitney.
''She has had much company. has been
free in receiving friends and callers,
and no one has yet found her seeming
to be ANYTHING than that which she is
happy wife. You have my permission
to quote all have said, and sincerely
hope this is the last OF the whole

LUGGERs OF Logs.
Interesting Bits of News From
the Lumber Makers.


G. D. Dorr, who was succeeded as
boom master by Mr.. Simpson, will not
leave the employ of the boom company.
The latter proposes to spend about
$4,000 during the year and Dorr will
superintend the work. Piers will be
put in at St. Cloud and Little Falls, so
that logs can be held at those points
whenever required. This work will be
done this winter. A plumber OF dams
will be built and some of the rocks
blasted out of the river, this intention
being to put the stream in first class
driving condition. Mr.. Dorr will give
his entire attention to the work for the
next year or more, and his entire famil-
iarity with the river. and his ability for
this very class OF work eminently fits
him for the labor. Mr.. Simpson will
enter upon his duties at once.
In spite of no snow, the weather is
considered good for skidding and the
number OF logs on skids is larger than
it would have been in more wintry
weather. N. p. Clark & Co. have about
$4,000, 600 already on the skids. and as
much progress is being made In three
days with this fine weather as would be
possible in week if the ground were
covered with snow. II. A. Smith is put
ting in about 100000 at Bryn lake for
himself, and IS also doing some logging
for Hall & Ducey. Wright, Davis d
expect to cut about 100000, half of
which is already on the skids. There
will be $4,000, 600 or 10000, 900 feet put in
Swan lake this season, and as much
more on the river. Those operating in
that vicinity are FL. A. Smith, Wright.
Davis & Co., Herm Leighton, Fl. F.
Brown: Lowell & West and others. II.
A. McAllister has crew of forty men
on Moose lake, where he intends put
ting in 100000 feet. He has let to
other parties the contract for putting i'll

The Lumbermen figures that unless
Muskegan and Menominee, Mich. will
come to the front. Minneapolis may
claim the heaviest lumber cut in the
country for 1888. The cnt of the Min
neapolis mills was approximately $685.

mills was. 1S9,000,00O feet; another 49,

company at their various mills on the

This makes an aggregate Of sos, 00C, 600
for the Chippewa valley. The La crosse
