A SWEEPING DENIAL.

Mrs. Cleveland Never wns Refused
Credit at kaAn's.
A story abounding in minute detail was
printed In New York paper today about
the alleged experience of Mrs. Cleveland
last Wednesday. when she attempted to
purchase certain goods from S. Kann, Sons
d Co. and have the bill sent to the Presi-
dent. This alleged account of Mrs. Cleve-
lands shopping tour stated that the man.
ager Of the store politely refused to give
her the desired credit, saying he could
make no exception to the rule of mo
credit" and that she left the store very in
dignant.
When Mr.. Louis Kann was asked regard
Ing the alleged incident today he made a
sweeping denial of the report.
Mrs. Cleveland was not refused goods at
our store and required to pay cash for
them," he said. Mrs. Cleveland has not
visited our store for some time, and when
she was there she paid cash without re-
questing to have bill sent to the Presi-
dent. The story is false in every particu-
lar. and the interview printed as with the
manager Of the store never took place."

The announcement that the drawing-room

and is by no means an improvement on
skirt danoing. Even the polite persons who
are accustomed to remark, at the end of
amateur performances In the drawing room.

some difficulty in preserving their elegant

the combination Of American mechanic and
Russisn prince, who was In this country
recently, said that when the railroad across
Siberia is finished, which. ne thinks, will
be in four or five years. the time Of getting
around will be cut in two, and from thirty
to thirty-three days will suffice for it. He
allow te., days to cross Siberia from st.
Peter sburg ten days from Vladivostok to
San Francisco, and thirteen days from
there to st. Petersburg again. Early in the
next century. then, the tired American may
turn his face eastward when he starts on

that way until he gets home, Just about in
