CLEvELAND'S INDIVIDUALITY.
1t doesn't make very much difference
these days how big a man is physically or
politically, once he comes to New York he
ceases very soon TO be much OF "a curiosity.

yesterday, and mel her man, woman, or
child recognized her or turned to look after
her. If the shop girls and women wno
elbowed her as she pas ed along had known
who she was. they would have stared their
eyes out, thinking perhaps they might get
Il glimpse of the magnificent diamonds
about which they have read so much, but
never seen Mrs Grover Cleveland goes
along Fifth avenue, Broadway, Fourteenth
street, and travels like ordinary mortals in
horsecars day after day, and is never recog-
MED. She never was very well known in
New Yo k, but her distinguished husband,
1t might have been thou hit, would have es-
capped such fate. But he has
not. He walks up Broadway every
afternoon without attracting any
attention. He drops into the Fifth Avenue
hotel In the nest OF the very busiest men of
the world without causing a ripple of ex-
cltement. He lunches every day in a small
restaurant near his Office on lower Broad
way and not one person out of a hundred
recognizes him. He takes his turn in tie
little Italian barber slop on Park Row,
the same as any other man, without
attracting the slightest notice. He
waited fifteen minutes the other morning
to be shaved, and took the place of a burly
lougshoreman in the BARRIERS chair, chatted
atfabiy with the artist as his razor glided
over the ex-President's face, picked up his
own hat brushed his own coat, paid his 10
cents, and walked out of the place without
even the barber suspecting VINO he was. He
goes to the theaters with his wife, attends
concerts, lectures, and often occupies pew
in st. Bartholomew church on Sunday

men come here, mingle with the little men,
and are swallowed up in the vortex. They
soon forget their own import luce, and
probably enjoy life more for not being so
conspicuUuS-at least Mr.. Cleveland does,
for he told a newspaper reporter who
walked along with him down Park Row
that he enjoyed doing as he pleased at last.

l. may be added, as mater of interest,
that M. Cleveland, while not making the
vast fortune at the practice Of law that he is
popularity supposed to be, Is possessed of an
income which is not far short f the amount
received while President of the United
States. Most of his work is what is known
among lawyers as "otfice work" He is very
often at his Office az $50 o'clock IN the
morning and re mains there until after
dark. He is still prodigiols worker. He
seems to have little time for politicians, but
is always glad to see newspaper reporters.
