HE DECEIVED MRS. CLEVELAND.
Jerry Wanted to Name His Baby After Her,
but His Wife Objected.

but AAis WIG Op1ecteus
From the Chicago Journal.i
Mrs. Cleveland never knew when she was in
the White House how one of the faithful SER
wants deceived her. Jerry Smith, the portly
colored man, with the woman's voice, whom
every one that has frequented the White House
for the last twenty years would know, was the
offender. He was stanch admirer Of Mrs.
Cleveland from the first, and outspoken was his
admiration. Mrs. Cleveland had been in the
White House few months when Jerry ap-
preached her one morning and announced that
alittle daughter had been born to him the
night before, whom he meant to name Frances
Cleveland" Mrs. Cleveland expressed some
pleasure as it was one of the first babies that
had been named after her, and the following
week sent present to the baby. When Jerry
name to his wife, but she, good woman, re-
fused to have the baby called Frances Cleve-
land" No amount of persuasion could change
her mind. What could Jerry do, soft-spoken,
easy-going husband that he was? Mrs. Cleve-
land had been told; he could never explain why
his wife would not name the baby to after the
Presidents wife. Without guile up that time
Jerry soon became the worst of conspirators.
he answered Mrs. Cleyeland's kindly question
each morning: allow is little Frances, Jerryf''
by the dubious answer:
THE little girl is quite fresh, ma'am."
And SO jerry kept the game up, and it was
White House that he dared to breathe the
name "Bessie," as he kissed his little girl. This
same Jerry's latest child was a boy. born about
six months ago. He was named Daniels so that
Colonel Lamont left the White House feeling
quite sure that Jerry's boy had received his
name, although Jerry never said in so many
words that he was, as he feared his wife would
tel Mrs. lamont that the baby was named
after his grandfather, Daniel Smith. Jerry is
shrewd one. He hoodwinked both Mrs.
Cleveland and Colonel Lamont.

UP AND DOWN.

We're up to-day on fortunes hill
And free from every sorrow,
But in the wheel OF good and Ill
All may be changed tomorrow.
We're up and down as time flies on
Now ease. now hardest labor
No millionaire can safely frown
Upon his lowly neighbor!
Riches take wings-the man Of wealth
May meet with sudden losses,
While he whose only store is health
May ride behind his horses.
Then do not slight the toiling poor,
For labor meier disgraces,
And though your fortune seems secure
Some day you may change places.
God help us all-we're poor at best
Dependent on each. other
Though crowned with ease or sore DISTRESSED
Weak man Is still mans brother.
Then when on fortunes top we stand
No III our state attending,
Let us extend . helping hand
To those about descending.

Two New Workers Spend Their Vacation
Riding Across the Continent.
KANSAS CITY, June 30-John Allen and E
n. Platt, the two adventurous New Workers,
who recently started on q horseback ride to
San Francisco, arrived here this afternoon.
Speaking of their trip SO far Mr. Allen said:
"We undertook it merely for pleasure and ad-
venture. We left New York on May IA and
have averaged about IS miles day. think
the ride has benefited my health, although for
the last few days we have found it disagreeable
on account of the heat and dust We expect
to find it even worse on the Western plains
We have the same horses with us that we mad
when we started, although we have not been
riding them of late, but lead them rather than
leave them, as they are such good horses"
The gentlemen have taken almost q bee line,
entering Ohio at Wellsville and passing
through Indianapolis and Springfield. Ill They
rode from Missouri City this morning. They
expect to follow the Union Pacific through the
mountains. and to reach San Francisco some
time in October.

The fact that "the British American As.

THE fact that "the British American As
sociation" is publishing manifestos over the
Cronin affair proves that our adopted
Britons have failed to understand the
lesson of that murder. 1t is that the ma
tional quarrels and organizations of other
countries cannot be imported into this
country any longer. If the Englishmen de-
nounced the Cronin murder as American
citizens, the action would be appropriate;
but when they denounce it as Britons they
need the suggestion that the whole trouble
is the neglect of the rule that American law
and American rights alone must govern this
land

ST. PAUL, June 3O.-T F. Oakes, President
of the Northern Pacific. in an interview in this
city denies emphatically that his company pro-
poses to withdraw from its Canadian relations,
says they are building rapidly through Montana,
and admits that negotiations are under way
looking to the purchase of the Northwest
Central Railway
did you see the arsisle in which afiiiation
between the Northern Pacific and Grand
Trunk roads was predictedr was asked.
THAT was great inducement to buy the
Wisconsin Central. By that road we got close
connections at Chicago with the Grand Trunk.
We desired closer relations with that road and
have now got them. You see by these con-
nections we have straight road across the con-
Scotia and Montreal on the st. Lawrence to the
Pacific coast. This gives us a powerful system
of roads"
Colonel James McNaught, counsel for the
road made a similar statement. The North
west Central road, which the Northern Pacific
proposes to purchase, and which is as yet only
very partially built, runs northwest from Mani
toba, penetrating the vast wheat fields of the
Saskatchewan Valley the finest wheat growing
district in the world, and terminating at Ed
monton. When this belongs to the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba it will be extended at
once TO the Pacific coast, which it will strike at

Hon. Alexander Mackenzie III the days when
he was Premier of Canada. 1t Is a very FEAST
BILE route. The Canadian Government has al
ready made extensive grants to the Northwest
Central road.

A Nevada Man Discovers the Veritable
Fountain of Youth.

From the Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.l
Patrick Dunn, the locator Of the fountain
of eternal youth, writes as follows to an inti-
mate friend in relation to his success in renew
ing the youth of a veteran four-time loser of
above three score years, whom he recently
took to what he terms his magic spring, located
somewhere in the northeast corner of Storey
county, to further test the rejuvenating virtue
of the water:
The test on old JEFF is succeeding beyond my
most sapguine expectations. 1t is scarcely
month since he left the Comstock-a venerable,
gray-haired patriarch, whose form was bowed
with the weight of IS winters, and hard ones at
that. For the first two weeks, after bathing him
four times daily in the spring, and having him

|. Remarkable Bass Fishing by . Party Of
Williamshura An0lara.

NEW YORK, June 30.-The schooner Dread
naught, commanded by Captain Hall, returned
from Cape May yesterday, bringing party of
Williamsburg fishermen and the most enor-
nous catch of sea bass on record There were
ten in the party, which was headed by Commo-
dore Alexander Baird. They were fishing Just
two days and half, curing which time they
declare they pulled aboard with hook and line
over II. 600 sea bass, most of them big fellows.
Old fishermen say that such catch Is un-
precedented, and that such story from less
reliable source would not be believed. Skepti-
cism would seem to be justified when 1t is con-
sidered that to make such q catch within the
ished II solid hours day and boated a fish

titles In the Land OIL the Gar.
From the London (Eng.) Tobacco Journal.i
Among the tobacco exhibits at the Paris Ex-
position, that from Russia is one of the most
interesting. Russia Is q much larger tobacco
producing country than is generally supposed;
and. although for the greater part of very in
ferior quality. there are several provinces in
the south, and bordering upon the Black Sea,
that raise some very fair quality suited to the
manufacture of cigarettes. and the prices are
at present reasonable.
The object of the display will more particu-
larly be to open up trade in the Western
markets. Every source from which an i'm
provement in cheaper cigarettes may be de-
rived is worth the attention of our makers.
The ordinary run of our cheaper cigarettes is
far from satisfactory; and quantities of the
imported Egyptian are decidedly nauseous.
As with most things, a larger demand pro-
duces inferior quality, until commodity is
commercially ruined by its own success.
