At one of Mrs. Cleveland's tens re

pleasure Of shaking hands with her,
and at the same time enjoyed q little
chat. 1t would have been hard to find
any woman in all this number who, af-

point from which she could stand and

Every detail of her appearance. every
ornament she wore, and every word
she said was discussed and admired.
In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland Is the
handsomest woman in Washington to-
day. She has beautiful neck and we'll

OF ANDREW JACKSON

An Incident Illustrating the Sympa'
i thetic Nature Of the Man.
! An incident in the life Of President
Andrew jackson Is recalled by the re-
cent death in jackson. O., Of his private
secretary, Samuel Baker. at the ripe
age Of 95. Mr.. Baker was very enthu-
siastic in sounding the praises Of Pres
ident Jackson and continually insisted
that he had one Of the most sympathetic
natures that ever graced the White
House chair. AS case In point he tells
the following incident during the first
term Of Mr.. Jackson:
| A young man in the army had been
sentenced to be shot for desertion, and
his wife had prayed for a hearing with
the President before the execution and
had been granted 1t. Baker used to
dwell upon the nervousness Of Presi-
dent Jackson before the interview. He
was disQuiet, restless and he seemed
overcome with dread. At the appoint
ed hour the woman was ushered into
his presence. With her were her two
small children. These three had scarce
ly entered the room when the woman
fell upon her knees at the feet Of the
President, and the children knelt ut
either side and the three prayed to him.
"Such prayers and praying" Baker
used to say, II never saw nor heard in
my life"
Jackson sat through it all with tears
streaming down his face, and his entire
body convulsed with sObs; it seemed as
II his very determination had fOrsaken
him, and he seemed incapable Of NOV
ing or uttering a sound. The woman
lad finished; and with the children
clinging to him on either side the Presi.
dent arose. With a voice full Of ten
derness and pity he told the woman
,, that what she asked could not be grant
ed. He told her the safety Of the army
demanded that there should be no in
reference with justice in such cases
and then, his courage forsaklng him.

found him on lounge, completely pros

II don't see how they could do more

matter-of-fact air, becoming more like
herself now that she saw how lightly the
Colonel seemed to take the revelation
which to her had been terrible beyond
words.
He even gave a half smile, which was
reflected In her face. Light seemed to
be coming at last, and a sense of safety
now that he knew all, overcame her for
uer dread.

PERRY, Okla, Sept. 25.-In the southern portion of Oklahoma terri tory whitecappers are running negroes out of the country. an the town of Norman, with a population of 1000, not one negro remains, and the inhab- itants will not allow one to spend the night there Last night twelve armed whitecappers went to the nome of an old negro in the southern part of Lin- coin county and whipped him and his two sons, and ordered them to leave the territory immediately.
 The same gang went to al white man named Scott, who had many negro tenants, and gave him warming that every negro must leave MT. Nedcaw was taken from home and given or ders to get rid of all colored men on his farm in ten days, or he would suffer the consequences. The gang visited another farmers house in the same community, and several negroes were severely whipped, and ordered to get out. Gangs of whitecaps are visiting negroes in many counties. The excuse for getting rid of the negroes is that they come in competition with white men at work.
