President Cleveland has issued

Executive Mansion, May, 8.
1t has become apparent, after
two mouths experience, that the
rules heretofore promulgated re-
gulatlng interviews with the Presi-
dent have wholly failed in their
operation. The time which un-
der those rules was set apart for
the reception of Senators and
Representatives has been almost
entirely spent in listening to
applications for office which have
been bewiIdering in volume, per-
picking and exhausting in their
lternation, and impossible of rem,
embrance. A due regard for pub
llc duty, which must be neglected
II the present conditions continue,
and an observance of the limita-
tlops placed upon human endu
rance, oblige me to decline from

pointment to office, except as [, on
my own motion, may especially
invite them. The same consider

to receive those who merely desire

designated for that purpose
1 earnestly request Senators and
Representatives to aid me IN Sc
curing for them uninterrupted in

alton copy of his paper, so that
a correct record may be kept and
to enable the historian to make a
concise report to the association of
all papers published in the United

does not appear in his paper WILL
furnish the historian with his cor.

Why Tight Shoes Are Going Out.

Tight shoes are going out Of fashion
also high heels and pointed toes The
long, slender, pointed foot is no longer
considered a mark of blue blood. since
the indefatigable purveyor for papers
and magazines has given the exact shape
and form of the feet of the bluest blood
in Europe and the size of boots Worn br
queens and princesses of the royal blood
This information has done far more TO
convince the American girl who Incl
dentally mentions the size of her boots
and the narrow last she calls for than
all the artists in sculpture have written
or even the given measurements of the
Greek statues representing beauty in its
highest form. The latter was dead. the
former hving-proof that large feet and
hands may go with the bluest blood, and
vice versa.-Wives and Daughters.

WHO is TO BLAME?

The teachers in the public
schools have had lively time
over the contest for a free trip 10
Chicago or the Worlds Fair.
Those who were supporting Miss
Maria L. Jo!don have charg, d
those who supported Miss Lucy
Moten with color prejudice.
From what the BEE has learned it
is OF the opinion that the color line
was first drawn by those who
supported Miss Jordon.
The very mom-nt it was know
that Miss Lucy Morten was in the
contest Miss Jordon's supporte' s
commenced to raise the color line
sagainther.
1t was in bad taste for the
teachers who drew the color
line against Miss Moten
to saddle the blame Oh that ladY's
supporters.
The teachers who supported
Miss Moten had no color pre-
judlce, indeed, the color of Der
competitors skin did not once
enter in their minds.

Barnard college will send out its first
graduating class this coming June. 1t
numbers eight members, who will re-
ceive their degrees and diplomas In COM
pany with the graduating classes of Co
lumbia college, the school of mines and
the law school.
They have adopted the university cap
and gown, which they don every day on
entering Barnard and lay aside only on
leaving. This style gives the young
senior picturesque and learned air, re-
calling to mind F. S. Church's painting,
knowledge Is Power"
There are now the four regular classes.
The freshman class has roll OF % MEM
bers, which is an increase of % over the
first years freshman class. The work
done by the girls in the four years course
is identical with that accomplished by
their brothers at Columbia college.
Besides the regular curriculum, there
are two departments in pure science
chemistry and botany. The botanical
laboratory was the gift of the Torrey
club, and it's purpose is to lay the foun-
dation for aschool of scientific investiga-
tion-to offer to students such opportu-
mites for the study of botany as shall en-
able them to continue it in after years.
The two departments have prospered be-
yond expectation.
If the Fayerweather bequest, now in
litigation, be granted to Barnard, the
trustees propose to expend it upon site
that shall lie within 1 1000 feet of the new
site for Columbia. By so doing they
fulfill the conditions required for Bar
nard to receive the 100000 promised for
the erection of a new college building.
This young institution, placed upon
it's uncertain footing as venture, has
made such rapid and successful strides
forward that Barnard may safely claim
the proud distinction of being the hap
piest accident in the history of woman's
education. ."-Harper's Bazaar.

An Irish Girl Artist.

Miss Mary Redmond, whose colossal
statue to Father Mathew has just been
unveiled in Dublin, may claim the dis
tinction of being the youngest sculptor
who has received commissions for i'm
portant public monuments. She was not
out of her teens when her model was Sc
lected out of % designs sent in for the
memorial to the late District Inspector
Martin, who was murdered in Donegal.
The officers of the Royal Irish constabu-
larry gave her the commissions on Aug.
II, 1889, and the completed monument
was erected the following year in the
hall of the officers quarters in Phoenix
park. In 1889 Miss Redmond modelled
Mr. Dwyer Gray and Mr.. Gladstone,
and her next great commission was the
present monument to Father Mathew.
Her model having won the competition,
she forthwith fitted up a studio and set
up her design, having for model ''char
ity boy" Of 20 named Richard Hunter,
whom she had rescued from starvation.
By May, 1891, the colossal model was
ready for the inspection of the commit
tee. The girl artist was awaiting the
Judgment of the committee when one
day on going to the studio the lad
Hunter who had resented his dismissal
met her at the door and told her he had
"done for her statue" The statue was
indeed ruin, for even the framework
was entirely destroyed. The boy was,
on Wednesday, June 10, 1891, con-
demned to seven years penal servitude
The brave girl having begged for an
extension of time set to work again with
such indomitable zeal that within
month the figure had once more taken
shape. On May 81, 1892, the committee
visited the studio for the second time
and inspected the completed clay cast,
which they pronounced would contrast
favorably with any existing portrait ON
canvas Or in stone. New York Press.

YET MORE ROYALTY EXPECTED.

Duke of Schleswig- -HolsteiD, Brother OF
the Empress OF Germany, Making
Preparations for His visit to the Fair.
CHICAGO, July S-Unofficial informa
tion has been received from Germany to
the effect that two and perhaps
more members of the royal family
will arrive in Chicago early in
September. Ernest Gunther, better
known as the Duke Of Schleswig-
Holstein is already making preparations
for his visit. The duke is brother of the
Empress of Germany. He will probably
be accompanied by Prince Heinrich, a
brother of the emperor.
The chief object of the trip, of course
is to see the exposition, but the royal
visitors are specially interested in the
German section. Herr Wermuth's work
for the exposition has been so highly
praised by the press of Ger
many that much curiosity is felt
among all classes to see what the father
land is showing at the fair. This feel
ing extends to the royal family. It is
not improbable that Herr Wermuth,
who will soon return to Germany, will
come back to Chicago as an honorary
escort to the royal visitors.

YOUNG GAUTEMALAN TRAITOR.

Instead of Obtaining a Patent in the
Name of the Government He Took It
Out Personally and Sold it for a
Good Round sum.
SAN Francisco, July s-President
Barrios, the dictator of Guatemala, has
declared G. Santalana, a young Gaute-
malan inventor a traitor to that repub.
lie and death awaits him should he fall
into the clutches of Bsrrios.
Santalana is now believed to be in
hiding in this city, where he recently
arrived to secure an American patent on
an ingenious device for measuring the
distance across, canons or other impass-
able places. He called his device a
telemeter and Barrios furnished funds
for his trip to get the patent, forseeing
that there would be money in the ven
ture.
The inventor obtained his patent but,
instead of securing it in the name OF
Barrois and the Guatemalan Government
as he was instructed, he took sout the
patent personally and then sold it for 8
good lump sum to the Salvsdorian consu
at this port.
BarTois had expected to send Santa
lana to Europe to float his invention
and while the young inventor was here
Barrois furnished coin for his entertain
ment at a leading hotel. Hence his
wrath over Santalanas treachery anC
his threat to have him shot should hl
ever venture home again.
