hanging rather loosely on the under side

The creature is IA blaclish- blue IN color,

Said to Have Been Much More Serious Thai
the Public Was Aware OF.

WASHINGTON. Aug 30. The published
stories about President Cleveland health,
while nobody is authorized to admit oil
deny them, create good deal Of comment
here. 1t will be remem lered that the
public were warned in these dispatches
weeks ago that Mr. Cleveiand's ailment
was much more serious than generally
understood This is doubtless the fact,
whether the reports of the operation are
accurate in details OF not.
NEW YORK, Aug 30.-The Advertiser
this morning says that an operation OH
President Cleveland was performed by
Drs. Bryant, Ferdinand Hasbrouck. the
eminent dentist of this city, and third
surgeon who was called into the case be.
cause of his skill in the administration Of
nitros oxide gas, which was the anBsthe-
tic given to render the president uncon.
scious before the surgeons began to use
their knives and saws
Dr. Hasbrouck said that the PRESIDENT
disease is or was e growth in the bones. of
his left upper jaw, and the adjoining bones
Of the nose. The operation consisted in
removing the diseased portions Of the
bone, and was performed on the morn
ing of Saturday, July /, while the presi.
dent was aboard of Mr.. Benedict's yacht.

FASCINATION FOR CITY LIFE
One Of the Prime Causes For the AbaAdsn-
ment Of New EnQiund Farms

BosroN. Aug. 30-There is a growing
demand for the abandoned farms In the
state Of Massachusetts,, and the state
board Of agriculture Is evidently of the
opinion that the day is soon coming when
there will be no such thing as an aban-
doned farm to be had. The catalogues
now being distributed as they are asked
for are incomplete In some particulars,
and so the assessors in the different towns
have been asked by the board to furnish
information concerning farms that are un-
occupied. The replies to this request are
now coming in rapidly. and the board will
soon be able to issue another catalogue
which will be quite as complete as one can
well be made.
A majority Of the requests for informa-
ton concerning the farms come from
farmers in other states, who think that
farming is far more profitable in Massa-
chusetts Numerous congratulations have
come In from gentlemen In easy circum-
stances who would leave the hustle Of the
city for the quiet of country life. Under
the head Of Causes for Abandonment Of
Farms" it Is stated as follows:
There is a strange fascination In city life
which has always existed and which leads
many who are under its spell to prefer poverty
and privation in the city to Independence and
comfort in the country; Jet it must be ad-
mitted that the promise that leads to the
abandonment of country LIE = lrsqusntly un-
fulfilled.
The movement from ~ lsapEy - the city
has affected the labor maxf1e = Two wayE Is
may lead to . iearth Of agricultural labor IN
the depleted districts and II may intensity
the competition to which the city laborer u
subjected, hosh a. 10 employment and labor.
The farms Of New England have In the past
nurtured strong and brave men. but it was
not because of any favorable economic coodt-
tiots- 1t is easily shown that the hardshfps
and poverty Of our farmers were in the paSs
much usateT than they ere today.

that schoolmasters are the most conceited
set Of fellows one can possibly come across
In my day / have known "a very large num-
Der Of masters both at public and private

men of excellent education they seemed to

Inferior indeed.
The bump Of conceit seemed In them to
be developed to an abnormal degree, and
their companionship. therefore, could not

to he that at school they are accustomed to

THREE DAYS OVERDUE.
Fears Entertained For the Safety Of the
Steamer City Of Savannah.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-A telegram re
ceived in this city from Savannah reports
the probable loss of the steamship City of
Savannah. The steamship Savannah left
Boston on her trip to Savannah last

She was due at her destination Sunday

fiercely Sunday afternoon and must have
caught the steamship off the North Caro-
lima shore.
She is now three days overdue, and the
gravesr fears are entertained for T
safety.
At this season Of the year there are very
few passengers on the steamships running
to Savannah, but the officers, crew and
firemen number over - men.
The City of Savannah is an iron steam
ship OF 2s29 A. tonnage, 254 feet long, 50
