And thus the bird was sent along TO

The negro who carried IL up soon

There seems TO be, in the opinion of
some, cyclone in sight for Mr.. Cleve-
land when Congress meets, anent the
announced bond issue of 200,000,000.
The subject came up among a few Con
eressnen to-day who were grouped to-
gether in conversation. One of the
ceagscssmen was a pronounced Cleve-
land man, and, defending the Presi-
dealt stoutIy, proceeded 10 remark that
never was man more misunderstood.
And apropos of this reflection the
speaker called TO mind the time when
Cleveland failed To be present at the
fuuefal of the late Thomas \. Hem
bricks
Said DE. MIR. Cleveland at that
time received bitter criticism for this
and vet at this late day, | may tell the
inside of the whole story as IL was told
10 me in 1891 by Mr.. Cleveland himself,

criticism when the truth is known"

Mr.. Hendricks was q man of many

candidacy for the Presidency, ! ven

replied Mr.. Cleveland, admired him,
was devoted to him, in fact and then
Mr.. Cleveland proceeded 10 tell me
how the whole thing happened"

Presidents possible assassination, II

he attempted the trip to Indianapolis
at this time, but he had paid no atten-
ton to this. A very short time before
the funeral, Mr.. Cleveland receiveds he
said. a telegram from the Chief OF
Police of indianapolis asking how
many extra detectives he desired for
the trip. This kind of talk set hlm
to thinking, but still he did not at all
change his mind about going, ana
wired back to the Chief that he would
leave all that to him.
SIT was the night before the morn
ino on which he was to leave. He had
a caller: it was no less parsonage
than Senator Edmunds, of Vermont.
The Senator asked to see him private
", and frankly told him that though
he, 1.-THE Senator) was a Republican, he
had come, out of sense OF duty TO the
country, earnestly to request that he
would abandon all idea of the trip.
The President was much surprised by
this request, specially in face of a note
that he had also received from Mrs.
Hendricks, herself, suggesting that she
thought it would be wiser for him not
to risk the trip. The act creating, the
succession though the Cabinet had not
of detective force seemingly thought
necessary by the authorities and out
of respect to the Judgment of both
Mrs. Hendricks and Senator Edmunds,
the preparations for departure were
all suddenly cancelled that night.
but" continued the Speaker, ''in
about two weeks afterward, the Presi
dent and his wife, seemingly in re-
Spouse to an invitation from Chicago,
which was accepted, really were
prompted toward the acceptance by
a desire to go to indianapolis and
quietly pay their respects to the
stricken widow. The special train to
Chicago had orders to stop few hours
at Indianapolis, when Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland made a pleasant call upon
Mrs. Hendricks, and it was all done SO
quietly that the public, to this day, is
ignorant of the motives of nobility
and good taste, and good sense that

cratic Convention will be held in Chi
cago. One thing is certain. and may
be relied upon: Chicago will put up
the best Cleveland galleries in the
country, and this means, in many eases,
more than money. My informant did
not have much doubt in his voice when
he made the prediction, and his -
prominence precludes any mention of
his name. And yet the unexpected
may happen. in spite of the certainty
of the person here referred to.

The Wit OF the Man.

Some years ago when a young lawyer.
Catholic, was a candidate for the legis-
lature, writes Mr. Edward J. McDernlott
in the Century, the elephants" the Sc
cret political, anti-Caitholic society, COM
posed mainly Of the scum OF the town,
were fighting him with the usual tactics
of such guerillas. In the extreme north
ern end of the district nearly all the yot-
ers were Irish; in the extreme southern
end nearly all the voters were German,
While the candidates: were speaking in
the northern end, the lawyer referred to
the fact that the Eleph hants s. were saying
that they would not vote for him nor fer
any other man that had am o. or: a Nc

McClure's for January,

The first edition of the January Nc
100000 in three months: 1t is easy to un-
derstand these great strides in circula-
tion when one has read, in this number,
the remarkable story of Lincoln as man
ager of Denton ORutt's saw mill and
country store at New Salem, the victori-
Gus wrestler against the champion Of
Clary's Grove, the student between
whiles, of Kirkham's grammar. q candi-
date for the legislature, and a captain of
raw recruits in the Black Hawk war; and
when one has inspected the twenty-five
pictures which help to- vivify this most
engaging chapter Of Lincoln history. We
have been advised heretorfore that the
history Of Lincoln's early years was lost.
This can be said no more: for Miss Tar
! bel has recovered it for McClures down
to the smallest detail
To further Justify the 100000, there is
the beautiful. article on Eugene Field S
intimacy with the children, reproducing
the best of his child poems, with por-
traits from his own collection, of the
real children to whom the poems relate.
Then there is the first of Mr.. Will II.
Lows papers on the great paintings of
the century, in preparation for which
Mr.. Low made several trips to Europe,
gathering the best that the galleries
there would afford. The paper treats OF
1.-The French painters at the beginning of
the century and his followers
and is illustrated with reproductions Of
16 celebrated paintings by David, Prud-
hon, Gerard, and others.
Ever since 1854 it has been a lnattersof

one should think. set the matter forever
