family at home Moreover, Mrs. Grant,
the soldiers widow, is no longer robust,
and it is felt that her children and
grandchildren should be about her in
these declining years.

Young Col. Fred Grant is remark
ably shrewd man of business. He has
many money-making projects on foot,
all of which are turning out well; but
he is, unfortunately for himself, too
generous with his funds. He gives to
every needy chap who comes along.
While in Austria his back door was
crowded in the early morning hours by
the mendicants of Vienna, eager to
share in a distribution of the kitchen
surplus.
When Col. Grant got back from his
post he was visited by the representa-
tive of young lady whose uncle was
a weli-to-do war veteran. This veteran
concluded to leave all his money to his
old generals son, but he had niece in
the far west whom he knew little of.
and who was naturally worried at the
prospect of getting nothing by inherit
ance from her uncle. So she had her
legal representative in New York call
upon Col Grant The latter. when he
reached here from abroad, was not a
little surprised to receive letter from
the eccentric veteran announcing that
lie had made the son OF his Old com
mauder his heir. AS soon as the ex-
minister learned how matters stood he
wrote handsome letter TO the old sol
dier, expressing gratitude for the mark
of devotion, but declaring that he
could not accept the beqnest for va
rious reasons, although he looked upon
F 1t as very hattering mark of esteem

niece, thanking the colonel for his ac-
ton The uncle had made another

stock in street railway, and of snug
sum, stated to be 100000, invested up
on bond and mortgage in New York
and Buffalo. Shortly after Mr.. Cleve-
lands election he changed entirely the
nature Of his investments. No incon-
siderable amount of his fortune was
SO placed that it might be affected by
his official actions. In order to avoid
even the appearance of evil, the presi-
dent elect had all his securities dis
posed of and the proceeds invested in
such manner that no official policies
of his could either increase or de-
crease their value. This was simply
following a precedent set by all our
chief magistrates, President Harrison
having done a similar thing shortly
before his Inauguration.
But when the cares of his Office be-
gan to weigh upon Mr.. Cleveland he
found it entirely impossible to attend
to his personal affairs. The real es-
tate, for lack of management, yielded
no revenue and the stocks were not
holding their own. The president
never owes much money-ten thousand
dollars would pay his debts and more
at almost any time, but the scale upon
which he lives and the losses he sus-
tanned through his investments have
left him poorer by good deal than
when he entered the white house last
March. It is stated, upon an authority
which leaves the assertion open to no
dispute, that Mr.. Cleveland is worth
to-day barely two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and his salary is be-
ing spent as fast as it comes in.
It is to this state of affairs that the
whispers of a possible resignation OF
the president are due. In the retire
ment of his private residence, near
Washington, Mr.. Cleveland has ex'
pressed his disapproval of present
partisan tendencies in no uncertain
way. No secret is made of the fact
that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Gresham
have discussed together the possibility
of Vice President Stevenson being
called to higher Office otherwise than
by death.

LATEST IN WOMEN'S HATS.
Perfectly Flat Disks of Felt Which Arc
Twisted Into Fantastic Shapes.

Perfectly Flat Disks of Felt Which Are
Twisted Into Fantastic Shapes.
Manufac cturers are now busy in MAX
ing perfectly fiat hats for women.
They are mere disks of felt, which the
milliners twist and bend into fantastic
forms. Crowns which are mere rings
of felt or other material are sewed on
the under side of the felt plaques,
sometimes in the center, but ottener
at the side OF rear of the center. The
felt disks are fifteen inches in dame
ter, and are only slightly stifened.
The demand is exceedingly brisk just
now. and six or seven Newark firms are
making them.
Many patents have been obtained
upon this simple fat disk of felt and
the process of making it. The most
important patent is one for splitting
the PLAQUES and cementing the pieces
together. There is great advantage
in this, not only because it enables
them to make hats of two different
colors. over and under, but it makes a
disk of greater dura bflity and stiffness
for the weight of fur used.
Heretofore all fur hats have been
formed by blowing the fur upon per-
forated cone and shrinking them with
steam or hot cloths. In making the
fat plaques most OF the manufacturers
have been blowing them upon low
cones and fiattening them in the sizing
process. One firm devised a process
for blowing the disks fat and in con-
tinuous strip, and have made sizing
| machine for working the fat material
| They have also machines for pouncing
and finishing the plaques.

COPYRIGHT, 1881.

When it was first rumored among a
limited class of persons in New York
that Grover Cleveland's personal pc
cuniary affairs were not in flourish
ing condition there was general in
credulity. 1t is well known that MIR.
Cleveland is surrounded by as astute a
set of financiers as ever lived. and 1t
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 inaugur-
ated he was worth, over his liabilities.

with the rest OF the belongings. Mr.
Van Allen owns a rare assortment of
sporting tackle, fishing rods. guns,
saddle bags and the like. Then he
possesses pictures and bric-a-brac with

articles to Italy has been determined
upon and is d matter of perpleXity to
one of the foreign express companies

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
Duchess Dues. This lady, having
always maintained sort of half
mourning in spite of her social gaye-
ties, wanted to have one dinner as a
sort of swell international affair. One
minister in Paris was then away on
leave of absence, and the duchess in
vited Mr. Van Allen in the capacity of
an American. The two fell into con-
versation on sporting subjects and ever
since Mr.. Van Allen has almost been on
speaking terms with Italian royalty.
But as the queen of Italy does not APP
prove of her sons intimacy with any
person not of the Roman Catholic
faith, our ambassador may find the
ouirinal frigid place. To be sure be

considering how agreeable it is to i'm
