Mrs. Cleveland's Portrait.

There are portraits of four wives of Presi-
dents on the walls of the White House. The
first is of Martha Washington, in the east room.
While beautiful, it is probably more ideal than
real, as nothing but portraits ON ivory are ex-
tant, tradition supplying all that pertains to her
size and costume.
Mrs. Tyler's is in the green parlor, as are also
those Of Mrs. James X. Polk and Mrs. r. B..
Hayes. Mrs. Polk was a stately dame. re-
nowned for her beauty, tact and intellect. Mrs.
Hayes is considered the happiest woman who
ever reigned in the White House. the two
brides not excepted She was ''lucky" in the
first place in getting there. Her exceptional
geniality made people feel as though they were
the very ones she had long been expecting.
She enjoyed each day as though it were a spe-
cial providence in her behalf. Her picture was
put there by the W. c. L. U. for her loyalty and
influence in the temperance cause
Many people think that there should be

no disparagement to say that the exceptional

VESSELS FOR COAST DEFENSE.
Representative Thomas Plans APP
proved by Naval Board.

The board of bureau chiefs. consisting Of
Commodores Schley and Sicard. Chief Con-
structor Wilson and Chief Engineer Melville,
to which Secretary Whitney referred Repre-
sentative Thomas plans for coast-defense
vessel, yesterday concluded its labors by agree
ing to report the plans back to the Secretary,
with a recommendation that they be adopted
by the department. The vessel designed by
Mr.. Thomas is of the Monitor type, 5000 tons
burden, armed with one dynamite gun, two
10-inch guns, two torpedo tubes, and one
rapid-fring gun. She is to have feet
free-board, with provisions for suf-

SIX feet of exposed board. The decks are
flush, and the ten-inch guns, instead of being

the vessel is to be seventeen knots. The mem

design has great merit.

The Alleged Alaska Outrages.

TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
The inquiry into the alleged outrages upon
the persons of females on the seal
islands of st. Paul and st. George and
the operations of the Alaska commercial COM
pany on those islands was resumed by the
House committee on tho merchant marine and
the fisheries yesterday.
The first witness called was Capt. L. G. Shep-
herd, of the revenue marine service. who made
a cruise in Alaskan waters during the seasons
of 1887 and 1885, Never heard of any of the
reported outrages and was never asked to pro-
tect any one. Witness said if government pro-
lection was withdrawn from the seal rookeries
the seals would be destroyed in from three to
five years. There are probably fifty to sixty
vessels now fitting out to catch seals in Behr-
ing sea and adjacent waters next year.
He had received confidential instructions
from the Treasury department regarding his
operations in Alaskan waters, but refused to
say what they were. He preferred to let the
committee secure them from the Treasury de-
partment He said the Treasury regulations
place a construction upon the statutes which
makes discrimination between American and
British vessels.
The testimony of the next witness,
jacob d.. Moulton, special Treas
ury agent at the Seal Islands from
1877 to 1884, agreed generally with that of
other witnesses concerning the carrying
out of the terms Of the contract by the
Alaska company. The contract of the natives
with the whites was beneficial to them. and
witness never knew of the existence of a con-
dition of affairs such as has been recently pub
lished.
Capt. c. A. Abbey, in command of the steamer
Corwin, stated that he thought at least $4,000
seals had been killed illegally, and Lieut.
Com. Nichols, of the coast survey, said that, 50
far as he could judge, the company had been
living up to the terms of the contract

Genevieve Goddard's Romance.

THE LOVE STORY OF THE GIRL WHOSE BODY WAS
cREMATED IN BUFFALO.
A Buffalo special to the New York Sun saws:
News of the cremation here of Miss Genevieve
Goddard, which was reported in the Sun. has
brought to light a romance in her life. She
lived in Madison, Conn.,, with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Nathan Goddard, when she fell IN love
in 1888 with young Charles /. Way, at the age
of eighteen years. But the parents interposed.
and young Way left. Soon afterward he was
made station agent at Stony creek, Conn, on the
Shore line. for preventing the wrecking of a
train by tramps. Pressing his suit again at
Madison, he again met with favor from the fair
Genevieve. The twain appointed tryst in
New York. and marriage followed. Then, with
happy hearts, the loving young couple went
back to Madison. The family set themselves
strongly against the marriage, and compelled
the girl to abjure her husband. Both were
heartbroken, and Miss Goddard became ill
and was confined to the house for long time.
A change to New York was thought best. but
here again she fell sick. and her parents went
to Colorado with her. She returned east after
her mothers death. Last week the daughter
died. Genevieve's husband was murdered on
his twenty-second birthday, May 5, 1886, at
Stony Point, by one Peter Coffey. Coffey is
serving life sentence in prison.

Herald says: Jno. Schaeffer, Bohemian, was
lynched at half-past l o'clock to-day at Gil.
man, coal-mining town, twenty-five miles
east of here. The cause was as follows: Las,
spring Schaeffer was arrested for assaulting the
wife of Jas. Bodoyla. He was convicted and
sent to Jail for three months.
He then swore vengeance on Bodoyla, and
soon after his release he attempted to blow the
house up, but only succeeded in destroying the
front porch. This morning at O'Clock, how
ever, he was more successful. He placed large
charge of dynamite under the house and the ex-
plosion tore the place to atoms. Bodoyla had
his two legs broken, his daughter was killed
outright, and his wife died from her injuries
two hours afterward. Two men who were
staying at the house were torn into unrecog-
nizable pieces.
The Bohemian was searched for Immediately.
When found he was changing his clothes, the
ones discarded being covered with dirt as
though he had been crawling under some
house. He was arrested, but the outraged
community soon rose, took the murderer to the
nearest tree and strung him up.

The Presidents Power.

SOME PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE TO CONSIDER.
Here are few timely thoughts which Ed
mund Alton lays before the readers of 81
Nicholas as to the veto power of the President
The question involved is one upon which all
young people should inform themselves The
frequent exercise of the power in recent years.
in marked contrast with its rare use by earlier
Presidents. has aroused harsh feeling on the
part of Congress, and some very sober thinking
on the part of philosophers; it is plain, how
ever, that the present executive has no doubt
upon the subject
The power is certainly monarchical in its
nature, and at first sight appears out Of place
in a republic, where the will Of the people as
expressed by their representatives should be
the law. But here comes in the deliberate de-
vice of the constitution. The executive branch
Of the government was purposely so shaped as
to act as a check against rash behavior BY the
legislative branch. The President is not the
arm Of Congress; he does not owe his Office to
that body, nor is he directly responsible to il
for his actions. He is elected, as is Congress-
by the people, and, like Congress, he Is an
swerable to the people. Unlike q member Of
Congress, he is chosen not by the people of q
particular state or district, but by the people
of all the states. He is, therefore, an indi-
vidual, the only representative of all the peo-
pie, and If, in their constitution, they saw ct
to give to him, their great national repre-
sentative, this great influence over national
legislation-an influence equal TO the votes Of
one-sixth of all the members of Congress, there
is nothing in il contrary to the principles Of
republican government

introducing his work TO Americans. With the
exception Of the hall, which will be finished in

are covered, and there are corresponding
panels wherever needed for harmony.
The general style is that known as the Louis
XVI, and bright figures shaded by Italian skies
prevail The reception room is covered by Q

distributing flowers 70 mortals. The chariot,
floral chains by which il is drawn, flowers and

are all treated in delicate colors, the requisite
contrasts being secured by but little darker
