MRS. GARFIELD'S INCOME.
The Widow of the rlartyred President
Enjoys Handsome Revenue.

Mrs. Garfield is living quietly at her
old home at Mentor, in the suburbs of
Cleveland, and the place has been much
improved, says the Washington POST -
1t is now one of the most beautiful
and comfortable farm residences in
Ohio, and an ideal place for quiet. re-
tired life. 1t is only fifteen minutes on
the cars from Cleveland, and less than
half an hours drive from Painesville.
Which is an educational center. and one
OF the most attractive as well as one
of the most cultured communities in
the world.
Mrs. Garfield is rich woman now.
but her wealth came with her sorrow.
her early days, and in fact all her life.
even up to the death of her husband
was passed in the closest economy. and
she was often deprived of the com
forts and luxuries that usually pertain
TO people OF her station. General Gar
1eld never had anything but his sal

generous and careless with his money.
and was scarcely ever able to make
both ends meet. But Mrs. Garfield
now has an income of $4,000 as inter-
her by Cyrus w. Field after the as
sassination, and pension from Con-
gress of $1,000, which gives her S21. :
UOO year to use as she pleases. and
she does not spend one-fifth of it. All
of the children are we'll fixed. Mollie
the oldest child, is the wife of Mr..
Stanley Brown, the representative of
the Alaska Commercial Company at
Washington, James and Henry are
practicing law in partnership at Cleve-
land, and are rapidly making both
money and reputation. James is a
member of the Ohio State Senate, with
an excellent record. They are both
splendid fellows, and promise to be
useful and famous men.
General Garfield had more money q
few days after his nomination than he
ever had at any other time in his life
He reached Cleveland from the Chi
cago Convention with just $500 in his
pocket. That represented all the
wealth he had in the world except his
mortgaged home at Mentor. Knowing
this circumstance, Sylvester T. Everett
the well-known Cleveland banker. in
whose house he was a guest, started
out one morning with little Subscrip-
ton paper, and came back with ten
81 900 checks, one of which bore his
own signature. He fixed up a bank
book, with package of blank checks,
put them all in an envelope and at the
first opportunity handed the package to
Garfield with a remark that there was
little pin money for his personal ex-
penses during the campaign, and an
explanation that not penny of it was
to be spent for political purposes.
When the General realized the
amount and the nature of the gift he
fell upon Everett's neck and wept like
a child. He said that the greatest load
he had to bear had been taken from
him, for he had been lying awake at
nights wondering how he was going to
meet his personal expenses during the
He said, too, that he never
had SO much money before in his life.

Tricks of Dealers to Restore Aged

Satisfactorily Tested.

BERLIN, Aug. 16-The plan in con-
nection with the German naval man
euvers to test the strategic value of the
Baltic North Sea Canal has been carried
out without a hitch. Thirty mine war
ships have traversed the canal in thirty
hours without an accident of any kind
happening This performance, in view
of the adverse foreign comment upon
the capacity of the canal, is regarded
as feat that greatly enhances the use
of the waterway, showing as it does, the
rapidity with which warships can pass
from one sea to the other. Emperor
William is delighted with the result of
the maneuvers, and is particularly
pleased with the successful passage of

extremely foolish to allow the papers

that Colonel McMas.er put himself on
