THE NEW BABY GIRLS HOROSCOPE.

The Future of the Third Cleveland Daugh-
 ter as Foretold by the stars-Win Be Ac-
 Complained In Music and Literature and
 Will Marry Well.
 BUzzARDs BAY, Mass, July 9.-1n com~ pany with Joseph Jefferson and Charles B. Jefferson, MT. Cleveland spent nearly all day Monday trout fishing at East Sand wich where MT. Jefferson has a private stream. The party left early in the day and did not return until nearly 6 o'clock.
 Ruth and Esther did not drive with their nurses to the village, as they have done almost every day since their arrival at Gray Gables, nor were the horses sent to the postoffice, but a messenger was dis patched on foot after the mail. The chill dreti remained at their play, often chatter ing, as they r;h about the piazzas and lawn, over the little sister so recently in- troduced to them. Both children seem de- lighted with the idea of having another little one in the household.
 The people of Buzzards Bay arc par ticularly elated at the fame acquired by their quiet village through being the birthplace of the presidents daughter, and many complimentary things have been said concerning the fair mistress of the White House, the good housewives of Buzzards Bay giving her great credit for having decided to come to Gray Gables in- stead of remaining at Woodley for the summer.
 Telegrams of congratulation continued to arrive all day, and the president, after his returt1 from East Sandwich, devoted the evening to a perusal of them. To an inquiry as to the condition of Mrs. Cleve- land and the baby Dr. Bryant reiterated his former words, "Mother and baby are both doing well.'

A shoe that isn't welted should be weltcd. Do you catch our meaning! If the shoe isn't wclted, if you have it half-solcd, it must be nailed on, which means a short lived half sole and long lived injuries to your feet. Let us tell you a trade secret.
 Melted shoes retailcd at the same price as unveiled ones, but they cost moro to make. Being wise you will find these remarks sufficient. Let us show you the latest comfortable shoes.

Wages Must Come Down"

In reply to ]. B. Fetzer, who wrote
recently under the above caption,
I would like to ask him few ques-
tions in regard to wages.
Mr.. Fetzer must be foreigner that
never had a silver dollar until he
came to this country or he would
not try to lower a working mans
wages. A man cannot buy his
clothes and tobacco for $21 per
month in Montana i am of the
opinion that Mr.. Fetzer is one of the
men he speaks of that would be broke
if he received 81, ZOO per month and
he is now going to try $21 per month
and economize. Mr.. Fetzer says he
is first-class hand at his business.
I would like to enquire what his busi-
ness is, whether it is herding sheep or
working for his board in the winter
and trying to collect wages in the
spring. In my estimation the sheep
business of Montana will prosper
far better when Mr.. Fetzer and Others
of his class are in another country.
l am not aware that any sheep man
in the county with one exceptioul
would employ a man Of his ability for
they all know they would not receive
the same amount OF interest in the
stock as from q man whom they paid
$40 and consequently they would be
loser in the end. Perhaps Mr.. Fetzer
is one of the many Democrats that
are grumbling at the present time.
cannot see a reason for their being
dissatisfied now as they elected
Grover Cleveland to lead them.
Hoping Mr.. Fetzer will form q
different opinion regarding o working
man's wages and rights before he
again attempts TO write, and thank
ing you, Mr.. Editor, for your valuable
space. l remain,
FRED r BROWN.
| (ED-The above letter reached the
Office two weeks ago but has beer
crowded out by other matters. w
heartily endorsed the sentiments ex
pressed by Mr.. Brown.l

PUCK's INFAMOUS INSULT.
The Men Who Saved the Nation Made the
Subject of Vile Characterization by
the Democratic cartoonist.

CLEVELAND, O., June 4.-The World,
of this city, reproduces the Infamous
cartoon printed by Puck in it's
Memorial Day number, and with it
several letters from prominent men
and a vigorous editorial denouncing
the outrage. The cartoon represents
Uncle Sam sitting on a flight of steps
in the attitude OF mendicant, hold
ing out a hat labeled 81 am busted"
toward a procession OF Grand Army
men, who are represented as well fed
scoundrels with smiling faces and the
5 mark stamped on their breasts,
while banners borne by them are
labeled "Army of Pensioners" Owe
will continue 10 save the ($) country
so long as there is dollar in the
treasury"
Among the letters OF denunciation
printed by the World is the following
from Senat or Mantle, of Montana:
CHICAGO, May 81.
To THE EDITOR OF THE WORLD:
NV opinion of the Puck cartoon re.
necting on the Grand Army parade
on Decoration Day and on Union
veterans is that IT is q shameful
carioature in a wholesale manner oil
the remnants of as brave, patriotic
and deserving band of heroes as the
world has ever produced; that it is
without excuse and utterly unworthy
any American journal or journalist.
The effort to charge the existing de.
ficit i'm national revenues to pensions
paid Union soldiers is malicious and
designed to draw attention from the
real cause of the deficiency. There
may be a few survivors of the war oi
the rebellion fraudulently drawing
pensions. but this does not justify
the wholesale slander contained in
Puck's cartoon. The great mass o
pensioners are worthy men, and the
little they receive butspoorly requietl
the sacrifices they made and the
sufferings they endured.
| III Uncle Sam Is reduced to a condi
ton of beggary, it is because his
agents now in control of his govern
ment have lacked experience AND
ability. His resources are ample fol
every just and necessary demand
directed by wise, experienced states
manship. l yesterday saw in th'
streets OF Chicago marching in parad'
thousands of Union veterans, not thu
rotund, prosperous and cunning
Hooking veterans pictured In Puck
cartoon, but gray-bearded men, tn
majority OF them bent with age ant
infirmities and giving evidence OF tn
hardships they underwent in thei
gallant struggle against an equal,
gallant foe to save the flag and pre-
serve the integrity OF the Union.
Their step had lost its elasticit,
and their ranks were irregular, bu
the sight of them as they marched
some times to the tune OF "Hanke
Doodle" sometimes to that of "Dixie,
filled every loyal heart with pride
Each of them is a living refutation O
Puck's libelous caricature and
! breathing rebuke to the falsehood
sought to be conveyed.
LEE MANTLE,
United States Senator from Nor
