Grover and the Baby.

New YORK, October 3.-A daughter was
born to Mrs. Grover Cleveland shortly
after midnight. The mother and daugh-
ter are doing well.
The important news did not become
known down town until nearly noon.
Then it spread with the utmost rapidity,
both in the city and to other parts Of the
country. During the afternoon many
flowers were sent into Mrs. Cleveland
and both father and mother received
hearty congratulations. Then messenger
boys began to move up the avenue with
telegraphic messages from all parts of the
country. Ex-President Cleveland was
evidently pleased man when seen about
the recent addition to his household. He
received the press representatives in the
drawing room, and anticipating the ques-
ton that would be asked him, said Eyes,
it is true. My wife was safely delivered
of little girl this morning at six minutes
past midnight and both mother and child
are doing splendidly. Mrs. Cleveland
has rested quietly all day. The child is
strong and healthy and at its birth
weighed eight pounds
The ex-President is quoted as saying
"I don't want to brag any, but this baby
now is as stout and as good as most babies
are when they are three or four days
old.o

Bitten by a Kitten.

CAMJEN, n. j., October 1.-Mrs. Geo.
c. Bigler, wife of a well-known organist,
and former compositor on Philadelphia
morning paper, came near dying from
lockiaw, caused by the bite of cat. She
is not yet entirely out OF danger and has
suffered untold agony. :.
Mrs. Bigler was playing with smali
kitten on August IL, and one of lts tiny
teeth was fastened in the forefnger Of her
right hand. AS the wound was but a
small one and healed very rapidly Mrs.
Bigier thought nothing about It, but went
on with her household duties.
In about four weeks, however, sylnp-
toms of blood poisoning set in and Mrs.
Bieler's finger and hand became swollen
and intiamed. She consulted Dr.. T. g..
Robinson, and was at first unable to ac-
count for the trouble. Then she happen
ed to think Of the cat bite, and when she
suggesed that as a cause, DR.. Robin-
son vas alarmed and ordered Mrs. Big
ler home and began assidious efforts to
arrest the disease, which had already as
sumed threatening aspect.
NIrs. Bigler's hand and ;2rrG SWelled
RAPIDLY, in spite of the vigorous efforts OF
her physician. The Inflammation WAS
great and the pain eXcruciating. She was
unable to sleep, but lay tossing on her
bed crying out in agony hour after hour.
Twice the dread symptoms OF lockjaw
appeared. There was q stif1ening of the
glands Of tho neck, q partial locking OF tbs
laws aud the sufferers friends were fear
ful that death would ensGe. Her physi-
clan stayed the progress of this malady
and tke unfortunate woman'S lite was

Mr. Simpson Says the Alliance is
Steadily Increasing.

TOPEKA, KAN,, Oct. 2-Jerry Simpson
SAYS that the Alliance vote among the far
mers in Kansas is increasing, but slowly,
since last year. The principal gains have
been in the cities and towns where the
citizens, alliance has been at work this
year. He estimates the increase at 20 per
cent. over last year.
Speaking of the negroes in the south he
said:
s'They are hocking to us in the South.
I believe, that this movement is the solu-
ton Of tine race problem. 1t divides the
colored as we'll as the white vote of the
South. If it does nothing else it will do
that much good at least. The old fight
between the blacks and whites will be
broken; the blacks will take issue with
each other in politics the same as the
whites. That's what they ought to do.
The lines are closer drawn in the south
than here. Everything divides on the
treasury scheme. tits either endors-
ed or opposed by every man in the south
"HoW many members has the alliance
in the United States?''
"In thirty eight States and territories
we have 100000 members"
"And do you expect to have national
ticket in '92. Who will head it7"

now unheard of may spring up and
prove himself the right man for the place.

The corner stone for new Court House
at Pickens has just been laid, and before
long Pickens County will nave Court
House that will be the pride of every cit
izen OF the County. That is just what
Anderson needs. Judge Witherspoon
recently said, in speaking of the recon-
mendation of the Grand Jury as to the
building of new Court House for this
County, that the reputation Anderson
County bore abroad for progress and en-
terprise seemed to be we'll sustained, ex-
cept as to her Court House, which was
not in keeping with the dignity and pro-
gressiveness of the spirit that pervades
the whole County. How far short Of
comfort and convenience the present
building falls, every juror, every witness,
every Court official, every visitor, that
goes there on business or from curiosity
can testify. Grand Juries have not failed
to recognize the urgent need for this i'm
provement, and have time and again re-
commended that the County build new
Court House: The court room IS too
small to accommodate the crowd that
frequently goes there. The offices of the
County officials are scarcely adequate for
the transaction of the business of each
Office, or for the preservation of the
County's record. The Treasurer, School
Commissioner and County Commission
ers are entirely crowded out of the Court
House, and the County has to pay rent
for offices for them in various parts of the
city. The County needs modern and
convenient house for the transaction Of
her business, and it would be genuine
reform movement to build house that
would be comfortable and convenient
and adequate for the purposes for which
it was intended.

THE EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT.

Some very interesting statistics in
regard to the governments account with
the people are published by Edward At
kinson in the current issue of the Forum.
The total amount Of the normal cost of
the government proper Of tho United
States for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1889, was S146, AIS, ,144. These expenses in
cluded the entire cost of the civil service
and of the military establishment, includ-
ing Notifications and river and harbor
improvements, and Of the navy, includ-
ing appropriations for the construction of
new vessels. This entire amount, how
over, great though it is, is covered by the
sdutlesW Which were paid on liquors and
tobacco. The amount Of this revenue was
$14s, 1888, 1853.
twill beseen, therefore, that wero it
not for the war and it's accompanying
train Of fbnrdens, the entire expenses of

Sam Jones Summoned before q Grand
Jury.

A dispatch from Rome, Ga, September
Goth, says: 1.-TWO subpGnas calling upon
the Rev. Jones and Sam Small to appear
before the grand jury now in session for
Floyd County wero issued to-day or yes
terday. Judge Maddox in his charge
suggested that any one who knew SO
much as Sam Jones might impart his
knowledge to the jury. The jury took
him at his word and tho two Sans must
appear. That tho source Of Mr.. Jones'
information may not be wanting several
of the leading members of the Methodist
Church from whom it is supposed the
evangelist obtained arc also subpcnmd
to appear. 1t will bo lively ytime. Those
whose ways arc dark and whose deeds are
evil may we'll tremble at the prospect. If
all the charges brought by Sam Jones
during his last stay in Rome are true then
Floyd County must rent houses for GRIM
inals. Whether Sam Jones knows or

- The conditions Of warfare have been
so radically changed by smokclcss pow
der and magazine rifles, effective at 4
mile and half, that European Govern
ments are seeking for devices that will
afford protection to soldiers. Austria and
France are experimenting with shields
for this purpose. a committee of the
French war Office have reported in favor
ofa buclller Of aluminium and copper.
They think that shield can be made of
this combination light enough to be car
ried without serious difficulty, and strong
enough to stop even the moderate rifle
bullet, except at very close quarters.

A Clemson for Alabama.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October 1.-The
will Of the Hon. Merit Street, 4 prominent
and wealthy citizen Of Clay County, has
been probatcd. In it he provides for
founding an industrial school for boys and
girls, setting aside for that purpose four
hundred and twenty acres Of land in Clay
County, with money to erect the necessary
buildings. He also provides an endow-
ment fund to pay teachers, and provides
that all pupils shall work so many hours
per day.
All the proceeds Of the farm and work
shops are to 60 to tho endowment fund.
It is the most important bequest ever
made to tho cause of education by a pri-
yatc individual in Alabama. Mr.. Street
bore tho general reputation of being a
close, hard man in money matters, and
his bequest comes in the nature of a graf
flying surprise.

He Talked Too Much.

A certain well-known physician Of tho
South side, says the st. Louis Republic.
was the victim Of his own "previousness'
the other day. He had successfully treat
ed wealthy lady's daughter for diphthe-
ria and che lady was extremely grateful
for it. When the child was thoroughly
we'll mother and daughter appeared at the
physicians Office. The little girl shyly
handed the physician neat little knit
purse, while the lady went on to say,
'For having saved my child, doctor, 1
want to present you with this purse"
"But," said the physician, after an en-
barassing pause, II have sent you a bill
for $780,
The lady flushed, then said quietly,
"Let me have the purse, please"
She took two slOO bills out of it and re-
turned it to him with the remark: "There
are $500 in there now, so your bill is
paid" and left the room.
Now the doctor is cursing his clumsy
tongue for the bad break j. made. That
little speech cost him Just 5000.
