cLEvELAND's CONTRIBUTION.
He Urges Education as n Solution OF
the Race Problem.

VIcRsBuRG, MISS, Jan. 23.-Thc Com
mercial-HcrdM yesterday published the
following letter from cx-President Clevc-
land TO Hon. Isaac Montgomery of
Bolivar County:
Isaac II. MoHtgomerN esQ.: Mr.. Henry +.
Downing has put in my hands your letter to
him In relation to the school for the instruction
of colored children at your home The condi
tion you describe has received my attention
and the projects you have in hand for the i'm
proyemcnt OF your people interest me so much
that feel like aiding you, though 1t must be
TO but n slight extent. / have an idea that
opportunities for education and practical in
formation among the colored population are
most necessary TO the proper solution OF the
race question in the South. At any rate, IL
seems TO me to be of the utmost Importance
that II our coorcd boys arc to exercise In their
maturs, years the right of citizenship, they
should be fitted to perform their duties intel
ligently and thonghtfully. | hope that in the
school you seek TO establish, the course OF
teaching will be directed to this end, Inclosei
please find my check for $s5, which contribute
with hearty wishes for the success OF your
patriotic and praiscworthy undertaking.
Yours truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. 23.-John Mcehan,
seedy, broken-down tramp, who has
well-to-do relatives in Philadelphia, went
into Eder e Schanzlin's barber shop, No.

bay-rum drunkard, and asked If he could
have drink Thomas Brown. one of the
BARRIERS, told him to help himself, and
He became violently i'll, and an ambu-

From nc NeD York IFWN0e
Has the sage of Corslcana lost his head?
That seems to be the most reasonable
theory ON which to account for his extra
ordinary performances in the House for
last two days. Even his friends perceive
that he has already probably fatally in
Speakership. To our mind Mills came
nearer to filling his own ideal when he
was guardan-in- ordinary of the Dark
Lantern in the last Congress than at any
other period In his career. II is not yet
plain that the next Congress will be pro
vided with utensil of this kind; if 50,
Mills will feel lonesome unless his place
Is near II.

Is THE Urea IN. W Hcrdd we find the
record of thrilling contest for the Boon
willie postonicc. Usually these wrangcs
over postofliccs are easily settled. There
are some hcart-burnings at first, on the
part Of the disappointed ones but they
soon cease and all is lovely until the noXt
time. In the Boonvillc case, however, an
extraordinary and delicate complication
has arisen. One of the aspirants claims the
appointment, not only ON the customary
grounds of personal fitness, faithful party
service, etc, but on the further ground
that for thrty-four years he has sung IN
the choir of the Boonville Presbyterian
Church. II is acknowledged by all that
this constitutes very formidable title
provided the applicant can prove that his
singing has contributed to the effect OF
the services and to the happiness and cle-
walton of the congregation. II is now
thought that decision can be reached only
after exhaustive inquiry and deliberation
The other applicants will cndeavor to
bring testimony to the effect that their
common rival has habitually sung out
of tune in n disagrecable voice, and he
will stoutly maintain that he has been the
glory and the chief dependence of the
choir. Meanwhile Boonvillc rcjoices in
the most novel and picturesque postonlcc
contest on record, and the whole town is
torn up In consequence.

caarge of murder.
Siimterville Times: On Monday last,
while D. l.. Bolton and j. E. Brancn were
out COW hunting between here aud Center
Hill they came across Tor rather in sight of
a Suspicious character. While riding near
a small hammock they noticed him sitting
under tree in the edge of the hammock.
About the time they saw him he became
aware of their presence and broke for the
hammock June said he looked like q
negro to him but Mr. Bolton thought he
was white man. They saw smoke from a
fire in the hammock and thinking perhaps it
was gang of fugitives, decided to investi-
gate, but being unarmed June came into
town for firearms and reinforcements while
Mr.. Bolton kept watch. Sheriff Chapman,
on hearing the report at once organized
posse and went to the spot, but aside from
tracks and fire, around which there were
lot Of half roasted potatoes. nothing came
Of the search. The posse. after searching
the hammock where he was seen and not
finding him, thought perhaps he had made
his way into Moccasin hammock, short
distance of, 50 they gave that a securing
also. There they found signs of another
camp evidently made by the same party.
Who he is or why he is hidiog out there in
the woods is a mystery.

The Veterans Home Association was to
have held a meeting yesterday at its rooms
in the Flood Building, but there being no

FOR one week.
A. L. Rockwell, Secretary Of the associa-
ton, has compiled report for the year end.
ing June 30th, which he has forwarded to
General w. w. Averell. Inspector Gener al
of National and State Homes. The report
shows that during the year S11,73S was ex-
pended for improvements to the hospital,
S5471 for verandahs around the main build
ing, S1G94 45 for remodelng and improve
ment of cottages, $4527 rs for new reser-
voirs and pipe and S505 80 for laying out
and grading of the avenue.
On June 3oth of this year there were 260
inmates in the home at Yountville, not
counting Sc who were away on leave of ab-
sence. The net gain of members for the
year was 90. The whole number of mem-
bers cared for during the Year was AL, and
on June S0th there we're only two vacant
beds in the barracks.
OF the total membership Of the home only
two were insane and they were being cared
for elsewhere. The average age OF the In
mates is 50 years. During the year there were
% deaths, making the death rate 96 III lG0.
There has been total of ia deaths since
the home was established, and of this num-
Der 102 are buried in the home cemetery.
or the inmates at the home 70 are pen
sioners and their quarterly pension foots
up total of SlS72. The average cost of
maintenance for each inmate for the year

the Swiss belt in form, but somewhat wider,
and, instead of finishing in point In the
middle of the front, having the velvet
carried up in gradually narrowing tri-
angle to meet the velvet collar band. This
arrangement was very novel and striking,
though not TO be recommended generally.
and the sleeves had curious cuffs of simi-
lar design that we're really c0rselets in
miniature. The points were carried up far
above the elbow, and at the top an OsieDsi-
bic reason was given for their elongatlon In
that they were allowed to secure two or
three lightly draped folds of the crepon.
In a week of going and coming it has been
nv luck to note a number of interesting
things At a hotly contested tennis match
yesterday / marked a pale drab wool dress
dIaped over silk Of more reddish shade
and worn with fichu of pale blue.
There was also as pretty and fresh sum
mer dress as have seen since the advent OF
green leaves, being cream-coored print
with pattern of clouded roses and made
with puffed sleeves tied at intervals with
rosettes and pink ribbon.
None of these costumes, you understand,
did anything more than clasp hands. They
were not dresses to play. Neither was
pale blue bengaline trimmed with silver.
nor gray corduroy cloth with lemon-col-
Ored chiffon fchu and hat in gray and
Lemon, nor a white serge with broad band of

Nor yet was an EtOn blue corduroy, ar
ranged with long open coat, tabled all
around and edged with blue and silver
cord.
The girls who played could have been
divided into TWO types as TO clothes. There
were the severely masculine girls with high
linen collars with cutting edges, broad ex-
panse of shirt bosom, smart severe coats
with pockets they could and did put their
hands into and stiff little sailor hats bound
about with ribbon. There were also the
girls who wore loose spotted silk blouses
with funny little jackets with double skirts
under their elbows. These girls were much
prettier to look at, and without any doubt
they were also the more comfortable. There
