portion Of the winter season. His mar.
riage to a charming young lady of Mad
ison, Ind, and a resulting visit to his
former home in the Hoosier state have
been announced in the press. 1t seemed

rider, teacher, minister, editor, novel

Washington Jan 1.-The revival of the report that
the President Is suffering from some affection OF
the Jaw cannot be confirmed on the contrary, the
report Is denied in the most positive manner by
close friends of Mr.. Cleveland. He was before the
gaze OF the public for nearly four hours yesterday
and the closest scrutiny OF his face failed to show
the slightest evidence of any trouble Beyond the
natural fatigue attending steady Handwriting for
such a long time he stood yesterdays ordeal ex-
ceedlngly well. He suffered principally from stand

OF the President said to-day:
There is absolutely no truth In these reports.
Their repetition based they nothing Is
becoming exasperating. and they hardly deserve To
be dlgnhed by a denial. At time since the
President has been In the White House has he been
sick single day. SO far the statement Is
concerned that his face has been bound up In red

there has never been bit of flannel any other
