TELL HIM THE QUEEN CALLED.
Message Left for Cleveland by the Princess
Anne of Hoboken.

Message Left for Cleveland by the Princess
Anne of Hoboken.
Washington, Novemb ber lift was
humorously in keeping with the appear
ance of things nowadays that Queen
Victoria should call upon Grover Cieve-
land. She either called to see the Presi-
dent several days ago or else the lady
who did call was mistaken as to her own
identity. She was fairly well dressed,
and wore peculiar turban that bobbed
from side to side with the naughty move
,ments of her head. With her was small
blanketed dog, and when the two police.
men at the White House entrance OBJ
jected to his entrance there was an ex-
hibition of queenly rage.
II wish to see the President" said the
visitor.
He's not in town." said one of the
policemen.
pardon me-" said the lady, "but the
newspapers state that he has moved in
from his country estate"
"But he's not here today,n was the
answer. The visitor was obviously not
satisfied with this statement, but after a
moment of hesitation she moved toward
the door, outside of which the little dog
was shivering, and paused for minute
on the threshold. "You may tell the
President, she said in the most approved
tones of queenly hauteur, "that [ have
been here. Tell him that Queen Victoria
called, and that she will continue to call
daily until she gains an audience" and
the woman whisked away.
Yesterday, the woman appeared again,
but this time in a new character. She
explained that she was Princess Anne, a
niece Of the Queen. The nature of her
business she refused to disclose to any
one of the ushers or policemen, saying
il " as of a private personal nature, which
could be attended to by the President

THE PRESIDENTS OBJECT LESSON.
Experience in the Money Market Reported
to Have Come High.

port that Mr.. Cleveland's private fortune
has suffered by the shrinkage in values,
and that he has himself become a victim
of his own "object lesson" to the country,
is generally accepted among men pre-
sumably close to the administration as
plausible. Rumors have one common
feature, namely, that the sum of money
which the President has lost is in the
neighborhood of 100000 AS to how
this money was lost the rumors differ.
One story is that the President was an
lndOrser OF some of the paper OF the
Thur -Whyland grocery firm, and that
he found it necessary to go to New York
to sign some papers involving the
tarnsfer OF some real estate to make good
this obligation. Another story is that
the President has been specializing in
Chicago Gas stock, and that he has
shared losses with E. G. Benedict, his
broker. Still another report is that the
President has lost money in various
traction stocks, and especially in the
Metropolitan syndicate, in which he IS
said to be associated with ex-Secretary
Whitney and Secretary Lamont. The
statement published that the Metropoli-
tan Traction company proposes an issue
of bonds is cited as lending some color
to this last report.

QUITE In THE DARK.
County Board OF Health RejoIces in
the Term Sporadic"

DIR. C. Holmes Mcneil, when seen at
his Office, No. 800 New York avenue.
said that he had not the least suspi-
cion that the cases were related to
Asiatic cholera. He termed them
Sporadic cholera. The deaths of
the persons who ate the crabs, he
said, were probably due to the same
thing. The reporter asked DR.. Nc
Neil to define sporadic cholera.
Sporadic cholera he answered,
''bears the same relation to Asiatic
cholera that isolated influenza bears
to epidemic influenza. Sporadic
cholera is an aggravated form of acute
cholera morbus. 1t is not conta-
gious."
The Doctor added that he had no
doubt but the persons who died of
crab poisoning and those who ate the
nnripe fruit were victims of sporadic
cholera, and not Asiatic cholera. The
disease could not spread, he said.
1T cannot be definitely stated,
however, he admitted, that the
cases are not cholera until a micro
scopic examination is made OF the ex-
cretia. DR.. Converse has charge OF
this. and before he makes an examina.

running west from Tonnele avenue.
1t is a three-story brick structure Of
fifty feet front, and is well fitted for
the purpose for which it has been
selected.
1t is removed FROM all dwellings
except two, which are rather close at
hand. The location is good, it being
on the road to Snake Hill.

City Hospital for all the iron bed
steads he could spare brought only
ten. These were Immediately sent
to the house on Tonnele avenu This
morning they will be set up after the
place has been thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected. This sanitary work
is now going on. Nurses have already
been secure for the pest house and
will so in today.
. The work is being pushed very
rapidly. The whole idea is to have
the place ready as soon as possible in
case of an emergency.
