BUTTE. March 7.-Undertaker r. III.
Sherman e~mphatically denies the state
ments made to City Marshal Macarthur
and to n STANDARD reporter, to ths. effect
that the warehousc i'm the rear of his I'M
d~ertaking establishment is used for a dead
house and that bodies are washed there.
Mr.. Sherman said to-day:
"This cabin is not used as "a dead house
at all but merely as q Only
ON two occasions have bodies ever been
placed there, and that was when they
were brought in frozen during the cold
snap. No bodies were ever washed there.
The clothing outside was not thrown out
by. US but by people occupying. the
cabins. or by others. The stencil in
that vicinity must have arisen from rotten
eggs thrown ont by other people. The
curtains arc over the windows To keep the
sun from spelling the varnish on Baskets
and for no other reason"
Mr.. Sherman showed the warehouse tn
the reporter. 1t was filed with collins
and other goods Of the same kind. The
man who gave the information about the
alleged dead house said that he had not
been i'm the warehouse himself but had
been told by other people that 1t was used
for u dead house. He could not rcfnem-
Der who gave him the formation.

working to help the working girls in the

should take back to them many valuable

to have boys and girls together in the

CLEVELAND ON DANA.
He Says the Editor of the "Sun" Is a
Senile Old Liar and Thief.

He Says the Editor of the "Sunn is a
Senile Old Liar and Thief.
New YORK, April 17th.-The World saws:
The Sun published a sensational article to
the effect that ex-President Cleveland was
undergoing special treatment, invented by
DR.. Schweninger of Germany, for reducing
flesh. A reporter called at Cleveland's of.
fee yesterday afternoon.
The ex-Presidents appearance certainly
did not bear out the statement that he is
rapidly increasing in weight. If anything,
ne weighs less now than when he left the
White House, and his face has a very
healthy color.
II have not" said Cleveland, '.seen the
article you refer to. Of course the entire
thing is a lie without the least pretext to
excuse it. Iiudge from what you say that
the venerable editor of the San supposes
that he has at last hit upon a subject which
can be used to annoy me.
In this he is mistaken. He must be his
own judge of social decency and the pro-
prieties. / am not sure that he should. at
his time of life and in his apparently Pc
culiar mental condition, be molested in his
amusement, but the man who invades the
privacy of the family and indulges in coarse
and wanton attacks upon private citizens
is no better than a highwayman He
places himself on the level of the black
guard and his vulgarities can have no
weight with decent people,"
Regarding the personal attacks upon
himself in the columns of the Sun. Cleve-
land said that, while he never saw them,
every time one appeared dozen cranks,
more or less, would write to him about it.
Whenever l receive these cranks let.
ters, know that that senile old liar and
thief, Dana, has been at it again. That is
the only way keep track of his mental
rawlings. His object, suppose, is to annoy
me and my friends.
There is only one thing" Cleveland re-
sumed, as tender expression lit up his
face, that l care anything about in these
attacks. They are not confined to myself.
1t seems that the senile Dana does not con-
fine his warfare to men. Women are not
free from his dastardly assaults. Mrs. Cleve-
land has not escaped. 1t is bad enough for
Dana to print his lying statements regard
ing myself, but it is infinitely more cow
ardly and dastardly for him to include, as
be has done, my wife in his attacks. Moth
ing could be more contemplate of man
hood"
