Playing Checkers with His Wife.
his Knee Is Yet Lame and His Left Foot SO
Swollen that He ls Compelled to Weara
Big Shoe-Bsd Tooth Drawn.

BUzzARD's BAY, Mass., July 7.-President
Cleveland is tonight feeling slightly bet
ter than he did this morning. HIS knee is
lame and his left foot swollen so that he is
obliged to wear q big shoe. He spent the
greater part of the day playing checkers
with Mrs. Cleveland and enjoying the
beautiful weather. The published report
that the President is suffering with cancer
is denied. DE-. Bryant says the President
is absolutely free from cancers or malig-
napt growths of any description; that the
report is absolutely false. No operation
has been performed except that bad
tooth was extracted. something which
Is likely TO happen to anyone.
Mr.. Lamont says no interview was sent
out last night DR.. Bryant is of the
opinion that the President will be able to
go out in q day or two and Is desirous for
him TO take q sail on the bay tomorrow,
but the chances OF his going are very
doubtful. The following was sent from
Buzzard's Bay tonight by Mr.. Lamont:
Walter Q Gresham:
The President is laid up with rheumatism In
his knee and foot and will be out in day or
two. There is no occasion for any uneasiness.
Joseph Jefferson called on Presidents
Cleveland this forenoon. He said later
that he found him much improved in gen.
erai health and very cheerful. His ILL
ness is not of y serious nature" he said;
nothing but a slight attack Of rheuma-
tism. from which. with needed rest, he

has had since his arrival 'Mr. Cleveland

the veteran actor, ito continue his public
business or to entertain visitors, and l

It has been the custom OF President
Cleveland and Mr.. Jefferson to 60 on fish

"a Correspondent wants our views
on the repeal OF the Sherman law, and
its effects if repealed, or confirmed"
If the Sherman law remains in force
the financial problem will be the same
as for the past ten years, the gold men,
or capitalists can expand or contract
the currency at will, by forcing the
government to purchase the number Of
ounces of silver bullion authorized by
that bill and the issue of Treasury
notes thereon, and paid for in gold,
and after receiving the gold in pay
ment for silver bullion the gold is ex-
ported to some foreign country for a
large per cent, therefore depriving our
people OF a large part of our circula-
ting medium, making a great evil.
from which we are now suffering, and
causing the government to lose a large
sum by the purchase o. this silver
bullion.
II the government could give silver
for silver, and gold for gold, then we
would have free coinage. Free coin
age would give a fixed value at mint
on bullion.
The effect Of this law is felt in every

successful Conv ct Farms.

Inc State of North Carolina utilizes
its convict labor in cultivating State
farms on the Roanoke river, aud a
correspondent of the Weldon News
gives a glowing description of Che sue
cess OF the enterprise. The farm en-
braces 5000 acres of corn, which is
described as being in perfect condition.
and from which the State will have for
sale at least 40, 900 bushels; 600 acres
OF cotton, which although damaged by
the backward spring, is expected to
yield at least 1000 bales of cotton: and
100 acres of sorghum, which will give
10000 gallons of molasses, besides
enough truck to feed the convicts.
Really North Carolina seems to have
solved the convict labor problem bet
ter than most States.
This brings to mind the fact, I'M
pleasant as it may be. that the last
Legislature disregarded the Constitu-
ton in failing to provide a State con-
vict farm, article 10 OF that instrument
declaring that no convict shall be hired
or leased, after the 31st of December,
1894, except to work on public roads,
public works or public levees. at the
discretion of the Legislature. and that
the convicts may be placed on State
farm and worked under State SUPER
vision exclusively.
That a convict farm could be made
more than self-sustainipg has been
abundantly proven, not only by the
above statement Of the workings of
the North Carolina convict farm, but
by the workings Of the convict farm
near jackson.
Gov. Stone, who has strongly fa-
vored the establishment of convict
farm, will, doubtless direct the atten-
ton Of the Legislature to this impor-
tant subject, and urge Its establish
ment at the earliest practical day.
The Constitution contemplates the
establishment of convict farm by the
last OF the year 1854, and if the Legis-
