HE WRITES ALETTER
Reply of the President to an
Invitation of Chicago
Citizens.
A PLEA FOR SOUND MONEY.
The Poor, He Says, Would Be
the First to Suffer by a
Change.

CHICAGO, April 16-The business
men and citizens of Chicago who in
vited President Cleveland to visit Chi
eago to attend reception in his honor
on account of his attitude on the fnan-
cial question are to be disappointed. A
reply to the invitation has been re-
ceived and is in part as follows:
I am much gratitied by the exceed:
ingly kind and complimentary invita-
ton you have rendered me on behalf of
many citizens of Chicago to be their
guest at gathering in the interest OF
sound money and wholesome financial
doctrine. My attachment to this cause
is so great and know SO well the hos
pitality and kindness of the people Of
Chicago that my personal inclination is
strongly in favor of accepting your
flattering invitation, but my Judgment
and my estimate Of the proprieties of
my official place oblige me to forego
the enjoyment Of participating in the
occasion you contemplate. | hope,
however, the event will mark the be-
ginning of an
Earnest and Aggressive Effort
to disseminate among the people safe
and prudent financial ideas. What is
now needed more than anything else is
plain and simple presentation Of the
argument in favor Of sound money. In
other words, it is time for the Amer
ican people to reason together as mem
bers Of great nation which can promise
them a continuance Of protection and
safety only so long as it's solvency is un-
suspected, its honor unsullied and the
soundness of its money unquestioned.
In these restless days the farmer is
tempted by the assurance that though
our currency may be debased, redund-
ant and uncerta n, such situation will
improve the price Of his products. Let
us remind him that he
Must Buy Well as Sell;
that his dreams Of plenty are shaded by
the certainty that if the prices of the
things he has to sell is nominally en-
HANGED the cost Of the things he must
buy will not remain stationary; that
the best prices which cheap money
proclaim are unsubstantial and elusive,
and that even if they were real and
palpable he must necessarily be left far
behind in the race for their enjoyment.
It ought not to be difficult to convince
the wagsearner that if there were bene-
fits arising from a degenerated cur
rency they would reach him least Of all
and last of all. In an unhealthy stimu-
lation Of prices an increased cost Of all
the needs Of his home must long be his
portion while he is at the same time
vexed with vanishing visions Of in
creased wages and an easier lot.
If reckless discomfort and wild ex-
pertinent should sweep our currency
from its safe support the most defense
less of all who suffer in that time of
the poor.

THE YANkTON RESERVE.

1t Will Probably BE June 1 Before It Is
Opened to Settlement.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 16.-In an
interview Register Boynton Of the
Mitchell land Office, said that there was
hardly any probability Of the Yankton
reservation being opened before June l.
He says the whole thing is hanging fire
on account of Commissioner Lockhart's
demand that the state be allowed to file
on 1000 acres before the settlers get a
chance at the land. Mr.. Boynton says
that the report that the reservation will
be opened Immediately with the procla-
nation of the president is all nonsense.
He says that at all times in the history
Of this country no lands have been
opened to settlement without giving at
least 80 days notice by presidential
proclamation. 1t will be at least two
weeks more before the proclamation
will be issued and 30 days after that
will make the season so late that the
settlers cannot raise anything but corn
and flax

the whole population Of the

nival to the enjoyment Of the splendid
pleasures prepared and the entertain
ment of the city's thousands of guests.
A novel feature of the fiesta is the
lavish street decorations. Merchants
and property owners along the line of
march and on all the principal streets
buried their buildings beneath masses
Of palm leaves, pine boughs, flowers
and buntings. Flags are flying from
every post and are draped ON every pill
lar. The city is a sea of color in

and the red for the wine predominant.
Besides the decorations of buildings by
private individuals, the merchants as
sociation, under which the festival is
given, appointed a committee on street
decoration and it's work is very much
in evidence.

RUssELLv1LLE, KY, April 16.-The
much dresded army worm has made it's
appearance in this and many other sur
rounding counties. There are millions
Of them, and they are making a clean
sweep of everything green that lies in
their way. They have devastated fields
Of young corn and clover, and hundreds
Of plant beds have been literally eaten
up, not a sprig Of the tobacco plants be-
ing left. Some of the farmers have re-
sown their beds, and it will throw their
crops late. Farmers are ditching against
the worms, and bushels of them have
been killed. The. greatest surprise to
the farmers is that these worms have
made their appearance so early. It has
been IA years since the army worms
We're as numerous in this section as
they now are, and they have arrived
six weeks earlier than on their former
visit

Scott, proprietor of the Chicago Times
Herald and the Chicago Evening Post,
died at 8 p. m. at the Holland House,
this city, while on his way to Old Point

doctor was called. He said the pain
arose from the passage of stone from
the bladder, and administered NOR
phine. At o'clock Mr.. Scott became
unconscious and the doctor was hastily
summoned again. He found that
apoplexy had supervened, probably
brought on from the pain, and Mr..
Scott died without recovering conscious
ness. Mrs. Scott and little niece were
the only relatives with him.

bert, and have been referred by him to

J.. WILKES BOOTH ALIVE.

Strange Story Told by Christopher CO.
lu1nbus Ritter.
NEWARK, O., April Christopher
Columbus Ritter, who arrived from
Germany in the winter of 1864 and
through J. Wilkes Booths influence
secured a position in Ford's theater,
tells a story Of Lincoln's assassination
claiming that Boston Corbett shot Ed
ward Fuchs, an actor resembling Booth,
and not President Lincoln's assassin.
Ritter is well educated and his charac-
ter is above reproach. He declared that
he assisted Booth to escape, and that
they two sailed for Brazil May 2, 1865,
that he soon left Brazil, but met Booth
by appointment in Hamburg eleven
years ago, and on that occasion Booth
gave him pictures of his children born
to his South American wife. These
pictures, bearing a strong resemblance
to Booth, are now in Ritter's possession.
Ritter says he heard from Booth last
winter and that he was then on the
South American stage.

half of the continuance of national

Archbishop Langevin spoke from the
pulpit Of st. Mary's, the leading Cath

declaring that those Catholics who
henceforth lent their influence or aid

schools would be communicated.
1t is reported that a special encyclical
from Rome has been received by the
Manitoba bishops on the school ques-
ton, hence the announcement by Arch

Sioux City Property Owners Excited Over
Il Discovery.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, April l6.-Great ex-
citement has been caused here by the
belief among property holders that the
titles to all the property in the business
part of the city are defective. Accord
ing to the records the original plat is
situated OH section 16, while in reality
the town is in section 18. All the de-
scriptions in the deeds to the property
are consequently worthless. The
trouble is further complicated by the
failure Of Henry Alden, the founder of
the town, to sign the plat, and the
omission Of the surveyor who laid out
the place to survey it to correspond
with the government survey. There is
talk of an effort by the original owners
to force all present occupants of the
property to vacate. An interesting liti-

After Forty-Two Separations.

The joys of married life are differently
estimated by different people, and it has
been alleged that some of the sweetest
pleasures come in the making up after
family jars. On this ground Mrs. Isaac
Brewster of Monroe County, Pa, has been
getting a full measure of satisfaction out
of her twenty-five years of welded life. In
that time she has deserted her husband
Just forty-two times. She and Isaac would
disagree about something and she would
latterly to her married children. Forty
one times she was coaxed back by her dis
consulate husband, and everything was
lovely for few months each time, until
the next outbreak. One time, when they
parted over a custard pie, it cost Isaac $500
and the deed to house to get his cratic
spouse back. But now she refuses to go
back again, and the courts have been asked
to appoint guardian for the estate.
