Victim Of Practical Joke
BUFFALO, N. Y. March l7.-The Buffalo
Athletic Club has been the victim OF a
practical joke in which the name Of Grover
Cleveland was forged. The club is com
posed Of leading business men Of Buffalo,
who sought TO secure a membership OF $50
TO justify them in leasing Liedertafel hall
for a gymnasium. The secretary sent out
several hundred returnable postal cards,
applications for membership. One was
mailed TO the President before bis term OF
Office expired. A week ago card was re-
turned. 1t read:
/ hereby present my name for membership in
the Buffalo Athletic Club.
GROVER CLEVELAND
No. Is William street, New York.
The secretary supposed the signature 10
be genuine, and gave IL out with a gooi
doal Of pride that the Ok President Of tho
Unit d States was still intere tod in Buffalo
and its institutions The card was copied IN
all the city papers, and the cluo got an inn
mediate boom in cons squencs. The execu
tive committee went right out and leased
the hall. Then somebody suggested that
the signature might be- a forgery and
that the cub might be the victim
Of hoax. The secretary took the card 10
Wilson Shannon Blssel, Mr.. Cley-land's
law partaer, and both ho and George
Sicard pronounced it a forgery. 1t was
near enough like IL 10 fool almost any one.
The club feels much cut up In consequence.
To-day a letter was received from Mr..
Cleveland, in which be distinctly and en-
phatically denies having written the card of
candidacy, though stating that he wishes
the club success In its endeavor TO foster
physical culture among the business men Of
Buffalo.

bten inau-nrated.
III April Mr.. IL !. HAN, member ol TIE
Maine Granite Improvement COL. obtained n
contract for the mortuary chapel 10 the ate
Gen John A. Logan. and the front. of three
granite baaks in PHILADELPHIA, ana later large
contract for the basement Of tne new Congress-
ional Library building at Washington. The
latter contract necesstated a large outlay Of
money, and crew Of 800 men was employed.
October first, owing to the action of the Dem
ocratic House. work on this contract was su>-
pended and all Of M. Halls men DISCHARGED
Thus. what looked like remuneratiye con
tract, proved disastrous one, although bIr.
Hail will no doubt eventually secure proper
compensation.
The Oak Hill Granite company, at the Point,
had good seasons work. but the crew were
discharged in the fall. Fernald d Mudget,
cemetery aud monument workers. have bad Il
good run of business all through the year. At
the beginning of the year it was thought our
granite industry had entered upon a season Of
prosperity, but at the close there were but

Gossip About Newspaper Men.


The New York Press made ten strike in
securing Joe Howard to contribute daily
column to that bright and cnterprising paper.
Howard j. the best known and most interest
ing newspaper man of his day, and although
not old in years has far reaching memory of
phenomenal accuracy and wide acquaintance
| with the noted men and women of his time.
| Howard first came into notoriety by his bogus
proclamation, in the early days of the war, call
| ing for additional troops, and which caused
| him to soioUrn for time in a fort in New
\ ork IIarbor at Uncle Sans expense The
incident is not recalled now to his discredit.
! and in fact the troops We're needed and the
| real proclamation came Il little later. To How
| ard is given the credit Of originating the sub
edtorial-edit6ria paragraphs in smaller type
| following the leading articles, and which give
| increased variety ana interest to the editorial
page. The practice is now universal; but there
| Is nothing brighter or better today than were
| liowards ''Mnor Editorials" in the New York
| Times, In the reign of Tammnnv Howard
edited the New York star which had a fat
thing Of it then, and he remained al the helm
long after the Tweed regime was broken up
and the paper had to struggle hard for life.
He was from first to last staunch friend of
Henry Ward Beecher anl in the celebrated
trial took prominent part. In recent years
he has done brilliant work fol the New York
Herald. and later for the World, hut is now a
free lance in journalism. and finds it more
profitable and more pleasant than confinement
