Cleveland ms n Drawing Card.

1t was expected that the presence Of Presi-
dent Cleveland at the Presbyterian mass
meeting in New York would boom the col
lections and enable the board of home mis-
sion to raise enough money to pay off their
Indebtedness of about 100000. The disap-
pointment was great, therefore, when it was
found the collections amounted only to $5. 500,
mostly in pledges, and that the subscrip-
tions received since the meeting have
brought the amount up to only about 81, 0O0
1t is evident that the president was not as
popular and drawing card as it was ex-
pected he would be. .

Moments Of Peril.

There was an exhibit ion of nerve and
steadiness In tho Columbia Theater yes
terdsy afternoon. The tiny little boy,
who 10 In a sense the "star"of the troupe
OF Japs performing there this week, was
hanging by the back of his neck from a
ladder high in air, balanced on the feet Of
his father, who lay ON his back on the
stage. Suddenly the electric lights went
out, owing to a shift at the central light
ing station. 1t was but O moment Of
darkness; hut during that short interval,
father and son had lost sight Of each
other, and the little ones life was in
peril. The suspense and excitement were
intense. When the lights came on again,
the ladder was seen tipped far over and
falling, but the little tot was clinging
nrmly to q round which he had grasped
during the darkness, his face wreathed
in smiles, and as the mem bers of the
troupe caught the falling ladder he
alighted easily on his feet, and with his
father maze his most graceful bow to the
audience, 1t was great exhibition of
nerve and mutual confidence. Manager
Harrington has now arranged with the
electric light company SO that by no pos
sibility can there be q repetition OF such
an occurrence.
