Lease Expires and the Heirs Want the
Property.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Mrs. w. T.
Leachman of Louisville, KY, who is at
the Grand hotel on Broadway, comes
here to press her claims as one of the
heirs to the Robert Edwards estate,
which it is claimed is worth from five
hundred million to one billion dollars
There are twenty-four heirs, of whom
Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
supreme court is one.
Their claims rest on the fact that
Robert Edwards, by grants from King
George l, acquired eighty-six acres OF
land fronting on the Battery and extend
ing upon what is now Broadway. The
heirs say that the town of Aberdeen,
Ohio, also belongs to the estate and that
over 1000 acres of land along the Hud-
son river and great part of the cities of
Jersey City and of Troy. N. Y, belong
to it.
In ITO, Robert T. Edwards leased this
land to the English government and
soon afterward died. His nephew and
namesake succeeded to the estate. This
second Robert Edwards during the revo-
lutionary war made a second lease of the
New York property to the English
government for ninety mine years. The
heirs claim that the property should re-
vert to them as the leases have expired.

After the water parade Mrs. Cleveland
left the Dolphin and started for Wash
ington, and here again Mr.. Cleveland S
enemies got in their work by sending out
tie story tha5 Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland had
had tiff over the formers condition and
she had returned to Washington in dis
gust.
This, too, was proven wholly false, and
was never printed in u New York newspa-
per. because the story was wholly at vari-
ance with tho facts.
Mrs. Cleveland had several important
social engagements in Washington which
demanded her immediate attention, and
1t was the original plan that she should
return home Immediately after the water
parade.
The thousands who saw Mr.. Cleveland
on all these occasions can testify to the
fact that he was sober, alert, affablc and
pleased at tho mighty ovation with which
he was greeted by the multitude.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Makes an Indignant Denial and Expresses
His Contempt for The Falsfier.

Washington April When the re-
conference at Salem Mass, by Rev. DR..

cusing the President Of iutcnpCrancc, was
shown President Cleveland, this evening,
be said with considerable warmth: 'This
is simply an outrage Though it is not
the first time thing of this kind has been
attempted, | cannot avoid q feeling of in
dignation that any man who makes any
claim to dcccncy, and especially one who
assumes the role of a Christian minister,
should permit bmsolf to become the dis
seminator OF wholesale lies and calum-
mics, not less stupid than cruel and
wicked.

and motives sufli ,ient to invent it,
second minister with more gullibility
and love of notoriety than piety, greedily
willing to listen to and gabble j.; third,
a newspaper anxiously willing to publish
it.
"For the sake of the Christian religion,
am thankful that these scandal-monger-
ing ministers are few: and on every ac-
count am glad that the American peo-

LANSING'S CHARGE
That the President Was lntox-
icated at Naval Parade,
Causes Breeze Of Excitement at
Methodist Conference at Salem.
The President Makes Warm and Indignant D.
"n NAL Of the Story.

Salem, April 1.-THE session of the New
England Methodist conference was quite
lively Saturday, n mild sensation being
caused by motion by Rev. Frederick
Wood OF East Boston, in the shape of a
resolution, that the conference by vote
decline TO hold itself responsible for the
statements OF Rev DR. Lansing OF Boston,
who publicly charged President Cleveland
with drunkenness at Thursdays session
OF the conference.
Tho announcement Of the motion re-
suited In discussion which lasted half an
hour. A motion to lay the resolution on
the table was voted down.
Row. Mr.. Steele said that as DR.. Lansing
had assumed the responsibility for his ut
terances the conference was relieved from
oil reliability, and a vote of censure would
only complicate matters.
Rev. C. L. Davis objected to the passage
Of tho resolution, but Rev. DIR. Upham OF
Boston favored it, DR.. Upham also stated
that he had warned DIR. Lansing on Thurs
day night OF the dangerous nature Of the
remarks.
Presiding Elder Knowles objected to the
passage Of the resolution on the ground
that DR., Lansing by his assumption of
responsibility for his language, had re.
lieved the conference from blame.
DIR. j.. Il. Baker Of Boston also vigor-
ously opposed the resolution.
A mo, on was then offered requesting
Rev. Mr. Wood, the author of the motion,
to withdraw it, and it was passed.
About u score of the 800 delegates, how
ever, voted in opposition. Rev. Mr.. Wood
withdrew his motion.
The Conference Laughed.
A resolution was then passed to cx-
punge the discussion over the matter
from the records of the conference, but a
motion to request the press TO suppress re-
ports of the incident was laughed down.
The days session opened with prayer led
by Rev. A. Il. Whitaker of Lynn, At the
business meeting Giilon Bronson, the can
didate who was retarded in his studies for
"a year because of his refusal to answer tho
tobacco questions, was advanced to the
fourth year rs result of his expla-
ton of tho matter Rev. Il. A. Holway of
Salem and Rev. j. NJ. Leonard of Maiden
were nominated rs candidates for the posi-.
ton of trustee.
ReyS. NJ. L. Whitaker, y. r. Upham,
William Wright. w. Clark and Dr. +.
Wood were appointed committee to ar
range for the centennial observance of the
New England conference at the next ses-
sion, and it was voted to issue memorials
in the form Of handsomely bound books
containing the minutes of thepresent con-
ference.
The vote to select place for the hold
ing of the next conference resulted as fol-
lows: Springfield. 81; Lynn, 80; Lowell,
60; Bromfield Quarterly conference, Bos-
ton, Is; Baker Memorial church, Bos-
ton. T.
The vote was then referred to a commit
tee which will make the selection. 1t will
undoubtedly be Springfield.

Lansing's Charges Do Not Seem to Agree With
Facts al New York.

New York, April The statement
made by Rev |. J. Lansing in speech
before the New England Methodist Epis.
copal conference at Salem, to the effect
that President Cleveland was intoxicated
during the naval parade in New York
harbor, April IS, 1898. is not borne out by
facts as printed at that time in the Now
York press. nor by tho statements of in
dividuals who camo directly in contact
with President Cleveland during his stay
In New York
There were, however Mt that time sew
eral stories set afloat by the enemies OF
the president, the gist of which was that
Mr. Cleveland was intoxicated on the day
OF the big land parade but every one of
them were run down 10y reporters of sew

fact. On the morning of the goth, the day

Of city officials called for Mr. Cleveland at

HOUSEKEEPING FOR GIRLS
Cemmehce by Keeping Your Own
Room il Order.


The habit of thoroughness in
housekeeping leads one to keen
rooms in good order and the table
beautifully appointed. I know a
girl who says that she takes great
pains with her room whenever she
thinks her Aunt Mary is coming
to see her, because Aunt Marv's
sharp eyes discover every speck of
dust, and observe every trife that is
IN the least out of order. Aunt Mary
is a bit of a critic, and her niece a
little afraid of her comments.
Ia other words, the aunt has made
a coward of the girl. I do not like
the idea OF being in bondage to any,
body, whether an aunt or a stranger.
1t would seem to me a far better
way to feel that one must answer to-
ones self, and that one would not
feel satisfied unless she could look
herself in the glass and say: There,
everything is done in the best posi-
bic manner, and you cannot find any
fault with me to-day. Try to, if you
dare!"
wonder whether you are particu-
lar to write notes of thanks yerv
soon after receiving gifts OF acts of
courtesy? The value Of a note of
thanks is greatly increased by its
being prompt. If some friend leaves
a bunch of violets at your door, and
you fail to acknowledge it until the
flowers have faded, your thanks,
when they do come, are tardy.
When flowers are sent to those who
: Ill, they, of course, cannot repay
the courtesy by a little note Them
selves, but some one in the familv
should do it for them. Your note
of thanks should be very genial.l
showing that you are really pleased
by the kind attention and the hap3
pier because of it. Do not be afraid
to write warmly and cordially on|
such occasions. If stiff and formal
you are unjust both to your friend
and yourself.-Harper's Round Ia
