placed it on the table in front OF Mr..
Allen. saying. you open it and ex-
anime the pin" By this time the bali
ance of the guests hearing the con-
versation became interested and came
over to the table to see the curious
pin which was the first worn by
Shriner. Mr.. Allen opned the pack
age carefully and found a brass safe
ty pin. He does not state what 1t
cost him to settle the laugh which re-
sounded, and the girl=well. she was
at that time busy waiting on another
table.
The fact that Mrs Cleveland was
accompanied to the Leiter-Curzon
wedding by ner little daughter Ruth
on Monday last should effectually set
at rest for all future time the false and
malicious stories so long current in re-
gard to the child, who is an unusually
bright and sturdy specimen of child
hood, says a Washington paper. The
efforts of the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land to keep their children in the
background heretofore has been en-
tirely due TO their desire to keep the
public from being satiated with ac-
counts OF the children, their daily do
ings, sayings and happenings gener-
ally. That their motive has been en-
tirely misrepreSented to the extent OF
having accounts of the children's pur-
ported deformities and dizziness OF
comprehension scattered broadcast
over the United States is a condition
of affairs of which the president and
Mrs. Cleveland are perfectly aware.
1t may or it may not have Deen due
to the knowledge of such reports that
Mrs. Cleveland finally consented to
crafty the desire of the bride in al
lowing Ruth to be present at the cere-
mony on Monday, at which the entire
fashionable world was in attendance.
1t was certainly the knowledge OF
such malicious ard ridiculous reports
that quite recently prompted Mrs.
Cleveland to make a witty little speech
in the presence of some guests who
had driven out to the country place at
Woodley. While Mrs Cleveland was
entertaining her callers the door of the
room in which they sat opened softly
and a dainty little childish figure
stood irresolutely on the threshold.
For a moment the child, seeing that
her mother had callers, started TO
draw back and close the door after
her. With a little laugh Mrs. Cleve-
land held out her hands to the child,
calling out: Come in, Ruth, dear; II
you don't people may say that you
have no legs"
General Kelley, of COXey army
fame. is sailing around the country IN
a prairie schooner with a. petition to
Congress for national help for the I'M
employed in periods of financial de-
preston. He thinks a petition the size
of a railway boxcar will have more
effect upon Congress than the specta-
Gle of ill-clad and hungry men on the
steps of the capitol. Kelley is evidently
one Of those who live and learn.
If Mrs. Jane Addams, street-cleaner
of the Nineteenth ward, in Chicago,
creates half the discomfort in that
capacity as the average woman does
in cleaning house, she will be i'm
peached and removed in a month.
Judging from the manner in which
Chief Devine, of the fire department,
is accused of treatirg the members Of
the force, the greater portion of them
must be Democrats. But after all. II
seems to be that there has been a good
deal of buster. Suppose a young man
named Earl-the same who. a rev
months ago, ran the chemical engine
into a telephone pole and well nigh
demolished it's allowed a few pr1vl-
leges that other members are shorn
of is it not a fact that the same Earl
holds the position and draws his sal
airy mainly for the reason tnat ne Is d
brother of my old-time friend Lance
lot M? There are people. however,
who will talk.
When jim BIoor gets through with
that 75-cent pipe. there will he mighty
little left to say on the subject.
There are several people who expect
a great deal from Commissioners NO
BILE and Stephens. Let US hope they
will not be disappointed.
The police force and the fire depart
ment are supposed to be ''out of poll
+ics I assert right here and now that
it is a supposition merely, and warn
NV Democratic brethren that the cor
ner of State and First South streets
will need considerable watching during
the next few months.
