The UnpOlitiCal AnXietieS Of Grover
Cleveland.

Adventures Of Fred Grant-A Fortune
in an Ostensorium and New Aspect
of Van Allen.
New York, Oct. 21-When it was first
rumored among a limited class of per
sons in New York that Grover Cleveland's
personal peouniary affairs were not in a
flourishing condition there was general
incredulity. 1t is well known that Mr.
Cleveland is surrounded by as astute a
set Of financiers as ever lived, and it
seemed surprising, therefore, that he
should make unfortunate investments
Now it transpires that this very fact is
responsible, although, indirectly for an
unpleasant reduction in the amount of
the Presidents private fortune.
When Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated
he was worth, over his liabilities, about
$500 600, less than that sum rather than

ton of these articles to Italy has been de-
termined upon, and is a matter of per-
plexity to one of the foreign express com
panies.
1t may be of interest to note that Mr.
Van Allen and the young prince of Italy
whom Humbert loves so much are on
more or less friendly terms. The pair
met in Paris at dinner given by the
Duchesse Dues. This lady having al
ways maintained a sort of half mourning
in spite of her social gayeties, wanted to
have one dinner as a sort of swell interna-
tional affair. One minister in Paris was
then away on leave of absence, and the
Duchesse invited Mr.. Van Allen in the ca
pacity of an American. There he met the
prince, at that time an inexperienced
young fellow. The two fell into CONVEX
sation on sporting subjects and ever since
Mr.. Van Allen has almost been on speak
ing terms with Italian royalty But as
the Queen of Italy does not approve of her
sons intimacy with any persons not of
the Roman Catholic faith. our ambassa-
dor may find the Quirinal a rigid place.
To be sure he can go to the vatican for
the ecclesiastical halo.
Many persons having wondered why
Van Allen selected the Italian of all for
eign missions may be less puzzled by con-
sidering how agreeable it is to improve
ones acquaintance with royalty.

He had entered the gate, walked up
the wide pavement, assembled the steps
of terrace and veranda, and rung the
bell by the time he had finished these
reflections. He just had time to
smooth his gloves and settle his snowy
cuffs, adjust his coat. stroke his mus
tache affectionately and compose his
features into an agreeable smile, when
the door swung noiselessly open and
deferential old footman stood bowling
low before him.

North, with the calm, assured air of

''She is, sir. VIII you please walk in,

North walked in, as matter of

his programme. He was conducted
through dim, elegantly appointed
hall, and ushered into still more dim,
elegantly appointed drawing-room, and
there left to the tender mercies of the
darkness and the furniture with the
cheering information that Mrs. May

ON the instant OF my arrival note
from one, Mrs, Maynard, evidently a
lady moving in aristocratic circles, in
viting me to cau upon her at two
o'clock this afternoon. No references

unconditional In spite of the en-
barrassing fact that have never had
the honor OF meeting the lady afore-
said, and have not the slightest idea
where she lives, have decided

to slight the very first invitation
extended to me here, and am there

to throw some light upon the present
mystery of my identity. If she decides

eral public will be Immediately set
aside. If she insists that am the other
fellow, will humbly bow to the decis-
ion. Capital ideal Saves me all fur

teresting psychological question. Not
exactly a case of Jekyu and Hyde, but
rather suggests the query whether a
man may not have two separate and
distinct personalities without being at
all aware of it until some one else dis
covers the fact for him. On second
thought, | am not sure but the real
question is, whether or not man can
be in two different places at one and
the same time. Pshaw! No use in
wearying my brain with these airy spec
ulations. My first duty is to find out
who | really am. With that point once
clearly and indisputably settled (by !

Willingness to say, "IIere am |

and commanded the children to

every direction. As one of them
went through a window the man
fired, and the ball took effect in

getting any money.
The alarm vas given and messen.

idea who the shooter was.

| Word About Lieutenant --Addi-
tiOnS Anticipated.

70 The Eyer !ns News;
am glad to see the press and
people Of Waco have manifested so
much interest in the Inauguration
of our military depar ment, under
the distinguished officer Of the
Cnitei States army, Lieutenant
Beaumont &. Buck In this con.
nection will state some important
facts:
First-Lieutenant Buck is an otli
Ger Of the United States regular
army, and by special de'ail takes
charge of our cadets.
Second-He was to have begun
on October !, 1893, but unfoTtu.
nate ! he was ordered to arrest
drunken citz n who was lntruding
upon the encampment, aud disturb
ing its gu It by his boisterous
drunken conduct. When arrested,
the drunken man assured Lieuten.
ant Back that his conduct was un.
intentional, and resulted wholly
from his intoxication. Lieutenal
Buck accepted his apology and let
him %.
But in a few hours he returned,
more boisterous than ever. yelling
ard ssearing no one could arrest
him. Whereupon the commanding
officer told Lieutenant Buck to take
two soldiers and arrest the dis.
orderly intruder and bring him to
headquarters.
Lieutenant Buck took two sol
diers, hut the intruder first resisted
and ,nen fled behind some large
buildings, where he was killed
by one of the soldiers, as he claimed
in self defense.
The killing was two hundred
yards away from where Lieutenant
Buck was stationed, and beyond
some large btlldings. But as he
was in command of the srresting
party ne vas arrested. The head
of the war department in recent
letter expressed the hope that the
case against Lieutenant Buck would
be dismissed as soon as it was be.
fore the court, and Lieutenant Buck
is ordered to report at once al Bay
lor University.
This will add new power and
new attraction toBaylor University.
We hope soon to inaugurate, az.
ccrding to our charter, our com
mercial and law department, and,
as soon az possible, our medical de-
partment.
By January |, 1900, we hope to
see "a professors and teachers, and
1850 students, male and female.
We earnestly invite the press aud
people of Waco to aid in the glori-
Gus consumms'ion, SO devotedly to
be wished. Yours truly,
RUFUS G. BURLEsoN.
