Mr.. ClEVElAND'S KINDNESS.

Allowed an Old Man to Build Homo on
His Estate.
President Cleveland has just per-
formed an act that is causing much
complimentary comment in the neigh
borhood Of the Gray Gables estate.
A fire few weeks ago destroyed the
cabin home Of Daddy .Brunn, so called,
robbing the hermit fisherman of all his
worldly possessions. Brunn owned only
the building, and his land lease expired
with the burning of his cabin. He could
not renew it.
He is about 70 years old, and, shrink
ing from the idea Of becoming town
charge, he asked to be allowed to con-
tinue to support himself. He received
money contributions sufficient to build
q home, but could not secure site. In
his dilemma he wrote to President
Cleveland and the latter replied. through
a mutual friend, giving permission for
Mr.. Brunn to build his cabin on the
presidents Gray Gables estate, to be
used solely by Brunn, and all rights to
revert to the owner when Brunn ceased
to use the land as his place of dwelling.

Mr.. Mckinley when he was elected was
the place at the very foot of the cabinet.
Mr.. Mckinley replied to the sally. as
suring Mr.. Arkell that his wish should
be granted.
The talk created much sport at the
time and long since passed out of the
minds of all present, it appears, except
that of Mr.. Mckinley. Since his elec-
tion Mr.. Mckinley has written to Mr..
Arkell, referring to the promise and
asking if he regarded it as serious.
While the letter did not say SO, yet it
clearly conveyed the idea that if Mr..
Arkell looked upon the promise as So
rious it would be fully honored by ar
appointment.
Mr.. Arkell enjoyed the letter quite
rs mucn as he did the original promise.
He had never looked upon the promise
as anything more than joke. He ac-
cordingly answered that he had never
attached the slightest Importance to the
affair and had regarded it as pleasur-
able circumstance of a good dinner.
This appears to close the correspondence,

on Wednesday, Dec. 16. This is the
term applied to the last ship sailing
from this country that will carry Christ
mas presents of money, ETC., to the peo-
pie of other countries from friends and
relatives living in the United States.
Already the forces employed in the post
offices and branches have found that
business has increased to such an extent
that they can hardly handle it, and in
two days more 70 additional men will
be given employment for month.
The money order and registry di-
visions have experienced the large in
crease up to the present time. Italy
leads the list for registered letters. Aft

.'Christmas ship sails, it is estimated
that there will be fully 25, 600 or 80. 600
registered letters and packages on it. to
say nothing of the letters containing
money orders and the gifts that go as
