Benedict. President Cleveland arrived In
this city at 9:j5 o'clock to-day. The party
came from Greenwich. Conn, on the
Stamford express. which left Greenwich
at . o'clock. The party travelled in one
Of the regular day coaches, no special car

crowded, and Mr.. ard Mrs. Cleveland at
tracted not a little attention during the
Journey.
Mr.. Cleveland appeared little lrrltated
when he was asked II he would indorse
Senator HIlrs candidacy. He refused to
talk. and turned his attention to Miss
Benedict, who was at his side.
The party walked down the platform
to Forty-second street. followed by a
large crowd of passengers and railroad
employees. The male portion of the crowd
raised their hats as the President passed.
When the curb was reached two public
coaches were hailed and the party entered
them. Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland drove of
toward Ffth-avenue with Miss Benedict,

Machine Mads Art,

"Is it conceivable that embroidery
done ON a sewing machine can be q
work of art?" correspondent asks. 1t is
conceivable, hut highly improbable. A
person of genius might give expression
to his art through any medium, how
ever unpromising, but it is difficult to
imagine any one Of ordinary artistic in
telligence, still less Of genius, making
the attempt ON sewing machine.
A worker on sewing machine may
impart to the object he is engaged upon
something of the artistic qualities Of
good design and good color, but that
personal factor which distinguishes all

to st. Louis Globe Democrat reporter,
II once knew man who got into peck
Of trouble because of a scoop he got. 1t
was in Missouri town where there were
two papers, and where really there was
not room for more than one. A SCOOP
therefore, counted for something, and the
lucky editor who got it crowed nightly
over his contemporary. Well, one day
while out squirrel hunting with a small
rife ono Of tho newspaper men found the
body of man with bullet hole in his
head. Both papers went to press next
day Here was chance for a scoop He
dragged tho body behind fallen tree, cov-
cred it with brush and leaves and then
wrote two column story about it. The
unpleasant result was that he was arrested
on suspicion of being the murderer. He
alone knew where the body was to be
found, the bullet that caused death fitted
his squirrel gun, and things looked black
for him. The rival paper dwelt on oil
these suspicious circumstances at great
length. After my friend had lain in Jail
q couple Of weeks, bail being refused, evil
dence was discovered which led to his ac-
quittal and ultimate conviction of the
guilty man."

Washington Correspondent Says the

A sensational story is sent out from
Washington by the correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer concerning the re-
ported detection Of Miss Catherine Drexel,
a daughter of the Philadelphia branch Of
Of the Catholic sisterhood. The story Is
the more interesting as it is coupled with
the rumor that the lady is shortly to enter
into the holy bonds of matrimony This
has created considerable Of a stir in the
highest social circles Of New York and
Philadelphia.
Miss Catherine Drexel's story Is very
romantic one. She is the second Of three
daughters of the late Francis Drexel. In
very early youth she placed her affections
ON Walter George Smith, the son of an
intimate friend and near neighbor Of the
Drexel family at their country home at
Torresdale, near Philadelphia. Her sue
cessful rival was her Oldest sister, Eliza
beth, though the latter had no suspicion
that she was such.
When all arrangements for the marriage
of Elizabeth DreIel and Walter George
Smith were completed, Catherine Drexel

among the Indians. She took her VOWS
at convent in Pittsburg and was there
after known in religion as Sister Gather
Inc. In short time Sister Catherine be-
came superioress Of new convent that
owed its existence to her wealth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith passed the first
year of their married life in Europe. Mrs.
Smiths failing health induced tho pair to
return to tho TSresdale homestead, where
she died. And it is the brother-in-law to
whom Sister Catherine had SO long ago

John Henry Howard of Kentucky eats

icacy than juicy rattler if we'll cooked
Mr.. Howard has been eating rattlesnakes
for about ten years. Possibly this accounts
for his Dnc, robust appearance and general
good health and in a measure for the fact
that he weighs 220pounds. To st. Louis
Post-Dispatch correspondent, who asked
him to tell how he acquired this strange
liking for rattlesnakes, he said:
Zone Of my uncles told me no had heard
of people eatin rattlesnakes, SO out Of
curiosity l thought I'd try one. The

"Young rabbits is good, squirrels Is

looks good deal like chicken, and when

Did you ever try eating any other
