CREDIT REFUSED.
Mrs. Cleveland Couldn't Buy Except
For Cash.

New York Journal: The remarka bic
spectacle of a big drygoods firm re-
! fusing credit to the mistress Of the
White House was witnessed by a
throng of shoppers several days ago.
The affair has thus far been kept
out of the papers, though it was whis-
pered around among the friends of the
people who were gathered about the
counter al the time. The incident oc-
vania avenue.
While the usual crowd of bargain
seekers were making their purchases,
the presidents carriage drew up in
front of the establishment. Mrs. Cleve-
lands maid alighted and went inside.
Stepping toward the counter where
Children's dress goods were displayed,
she looked over the goods.
Then selecting several dress pat
terms she handed the clerk note
bearing the engraved inscription: "Ex-
ecutive Mansion" Smilingly she said:
Mrs. Cleveland said to charge TO
the president"
There was moments hesitation.
The clerk beckoned to the proprietor.
and together they talked in low tones
Finally the clerk turned around and
stammeringly said:
l am sorry, but it is strictly against
our rules to charge goods. l assure
you he began. but was interrupted
by the maid. who, with flashing eyes,
IN an excited, manner, exclaimed.
What, YOU refuse TO give credit to
the president OF the United States?''1
All ewes were turned toward the
glrl.r who stood staring at the Clerk. :
We do not exactly refuse to give
credit to the president; but, you see,
we do not open book accounts"
Then YOU doubt my coming from
the White House. do you?"
Not at all; we only regret not beine
able to comply with Mrs CleveIand's
request
The maid to the most popular woman
in America turned from the counter
and rapidly made her way to the White
House carriage, followed by small
crowd of curious spectators The man
ager OF the store later explained the
occurrence.
We regret annoying Mr.. Cleveland
or his Wife,. he said but had we
granted the request it would have been
a violation of our rules. We long ago

to collect bills anyway"
And so far as distinguished people |
are concerned. we have found that they |

from the harassing collector.
However, it was not tina, we did not

say we should make our celebration
one that would out-do the other big
celebrations to be held this year at
the ratio that the adding of another
star to the flag or the founding of a
city would be insignificant in COMPARE
son with the event to be celebrated here.
l would advocate a celebration that
would cost at the lowest figure $50. 000,
and as much more as we can secure.
And when I say $4,000 I don't want
70 be considered an enthusiast" Judge
Colborn continued, for l know we can
raise il and more"
Judge Colborn then took uD the sub
ject of the criticisms that have alread 7
been passed on the commission, and
said they were to be expected, but that
the members should pay no attention,
but go ahead and perform the duty for
which they were appointed-that of
making the celebration one that would
be in keeping with the event it was to
commemorate.
Judge Colborn agreed with the sug-
gestion that had been made relative to
the entertainment, but said they were
not enough, If the great crowds were
to be drawn here which were necessary
to make the affair success. A salt
palace and all the other palaces would
be all right in their way, but salt
palaces were commonplace these days
her corn palace and Pennsylvania her
coal palace, and such things were not
new and could not be expected to at
tract big crowds without other and still
greater attractions, and these could
not be had without the expenditure of
great amount of money. He closed
with another appeal to the commission
to decide on the amount of money it
would undertake to expend, and then
get at the work of raising it, as that
was the first consideration, and every
day that went by now without any
thing being done was day lost.
COMMISSIONER SAVAGE ALSO
SUPPORTS IT.
Mr.. Savage was the only member
who had anything to say against
Judge Colborn's views. He secuted
the advisability of undertaking to raise
so much, but later changed his opinion
and supported the resolution, which
was introduced after Chairman Claw
son, Secretary Rognon and Mrs Nc
Cune had expressed themselves along
the same line as Judge Colborn.
Mr.. Rognon then introduced his reso-
luton, and after some slight remodel
ing, 1T was unanimously adopted.
Judge Colborn made another speech
in favor of the commission increasing
the finance committee by adding at
least 100 prominent citizens, and urged
that the meeting should not adjourn
till it had provided for the immediate
beginning of the work of soliciting
funds.
After some discussion of the subject

Captain Lane Discredits 1t.

Boston, Dec. 9.-Captain G. H. Lane
of the Cuban army, was in Cam
bridge today, and he characterized the
report of Maceo's death as Spanish
trickery to offset the effect of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message. While 1t
was possible, he said, that Maceo had
been killed, yet it was altogether i'm
probable that he would have been found
by the Spaniards at the head OF SO
small a detachment OF men, as 1t IS
reported he was leading. Then again,
he stated, the general was certainly
miles away from where the sk1rmlsh
is reported to have occurred.
Captain Lane left here tonight for
New York He was wounded badly
about two months ago by a gunshot
wound in the leg, and was granted a
months leave of absence. He is now
on his way back to Cuba.
While Captain Lane would not speak
of the number of men in the Cuban
army, he stated that they were numer-
