THE NEXT TINE FoR MONEY,

4 distant acquaintance called on me
Yesterday, full of tears and longings.
He had just lost his second wife, and /
had to hear all about her noble char
acter and fetching ways, her gentle
spirit and forbearing disposition. He
proceeded till / felt my own eyes grow
ing hot and salty. His recital of her
many virtues touched my heart.
''Ah, yes, old fellow, / know it is hard
to lose her, Int you must try to bear up
under the affection like man. / whis-
pered, seeking TO comfort him,
II wilt ] will" he blubbered, wiring
ing my hand. ''But, friend, this is the
last time ! will marry for love. Posi-
lively the last! The next time-I-am

A Distinct Departure From His
Usual Black.
HIS WIFE SELECTED GOODS
She always Picks Out the
Presidents Clothes.
TWO MEN TO MEASURE HIM
Nobody Can tlave Suit Like His, For
He Takes All the Cloth in the
Pattern to Make His
Own.

Washington March 15.President
Cleveland is rapidly increasing in flesh.
He has grown stouter by several inches
and many pounds within year. The
increase in inches can be given,
but the gain in pounds is a secret which
the President is carefully keeping,
even from himself.
II gave up weighing a long time
ago he said to his tailor last week,
and he added, dryly, Il recently
gave up guessing"
The tailor and an assistant, for it
takes two men to measure Mr. Cleye-
land, one to hold, and the other to
walk around him with a tape, had been
called to the White House to take the
Presidents measure for two new spring
suits. They were sent for by Mrs.
Cleveland and told to bring a>full line
of samples Like the wives of many
other free-born American citizens with
a family, she knows before the Presi-
dent when he needs new clothes, and
takes great interest in seeing that he
gets something that will wear well,
look nice and be becoming.
Usually Mrs. Cleveland selects dark
goods. Long black coats and sombre
trousers tend TO make a man of big
girth appear less stout, and the Presi-
dent has heretofore affected that style
of dressing. This year, however, Mrs.
Cleveland has decided TO make d radical
change. at least so far as one suit is
concerned The President will soon APP
pear in much Iivelier garments than he
has ever worn in Washington. They
will not be loud, nor ultra-gay, but
they viii be far from black and decid-
eddy spring-like-a light Scotch tweed,
a sort Of gray, brown and white mix
ttIre. with here and there a fieck of
light blue The pattern is what the
tailors call an invisible check"
Samples of the natty goods were
sought for by ardent admirers. and
one sample came in a roundabout way
to The World correspondent He took
it to several tailor shops and finally
found the suit at the establishment Of
George II Keen, in all it's glory Of size
and color. As prospective customer
the correspondent soon obtained q
highly interesting story of the new
suit. He was told fatty. at the start
that he could not have ones like IL, be-
cause there was no more cloth OF the
kind IN the store. Mr.. Cleveland had
taken the entire piece.
The piece which was used up in maxi
ing this spring suit for the President
contained nine yards. The cloth was
thirty inches wide. 1t therefore takes
sixty and one-half square feet of
cloth to cover the President of the
United States, or 9.720 square inches.
The tailor said he had been obliged to
charge Mr.. Cleveland SIS on account of
the amount of cloth required. lie add
ed that he could afford TO make a suit
just like it for a man of ordinary size
for $50.
An examination of the taiior's books
showed the growth Of the President in
the last year The figures are as fol-

In the way of prospective business,
the tailor chatted freely with the un-
suspected correspondent. 1.-THE Presi-
dent, he said. generally wears six
suits Of clothes year, including dress
suits and Prince Alberts. Besides
these, he has a hunting suit and fish
ing suit. His fayorite suit is q three
buttoned soft rolled cutaWay, but he
wears Prince Albert when he meets
people formally. He gets two oveRcoats
a year, a heavy one and a light one, and
an ulster of Irish frieze that covers
him from head TO foot, This is for
bad weather when he is fishing and
hunting, and no one ever secs him IN
it ia Washington. E
When he needs new suit. Mrs.
Cleveland sends for ME to come to the
White House. and bring samples. IT
was decided that this should be a sack
suit that could be used for morning
wear. The coat has four buttons and
rounded corners. Then Mrs. Cleveland
selected another suit of dark gray.
That will be cutaway with three but
tons, made according TO the most re-
cent spring fashion.
1.-THE President is a very easy man to
please Mrs. Cleveland always selects
the goods and decides upon the cut.
Her taste is excellent. and we have
little trouble in making our selections.
When the clothes are made, Mrs .Cleye-
land inspects them and if she says they
are all right, the President never says
n word. Behind tire scenes, so to speak,
the President is very affable man.

BICYCLE PATHS.

The movement among the Wheelman
struction of bicycle paths. and partie-
uIarIy of one between st. Paul and
Minneapolis, is a sensible and practi-
cal one. The use of the wheel has now
become so general, and is so certain
to increase still further, that special
provision must soon be made for it's
accommodation on the public highway.
This is desirable both for the safety
of those who ride the wheel and of
those who do not. The frequency OF
accidents, as well as the discomfort of
riding upon an uneven surface, call
for bicycle paths everywhere. Just as
special road coverings have to be pro-
vided for ordinary wheel traffic, and
sidewalks for pedestrians, so must
there be suitable wheelways for the
use of the bicycle.
The method of providing these is
obvious and simple. It was suggested
at the meeting of wheelmen the other
day at the Ryan hotel. If all cyclists
were to join an association for this
purpose, and each member contribute
a small sum, say not more than fifty
cents, it would suffice for the construc-
ton of vast system of paths fitted
for bicycle travel. This is the COM
mon sense and rational way of going
about it, AS yet the bicycle is essen
tally a luxury. The public at large
cannot be called upon with propriety
to eXpend money for the convenience
and comfort of it's users. Moreover,
those who ride the wheel are easily
able to provide themselves with what
they most desire. Nobody who has ex-
pended from $50 to $3.50 for the delight
of bicycle travel is unable to spend
a small fee ito help along the building
of bicycle paths. 1t has been shown
that these can be constructed at COM
paratively trif1ing cost. When they
are built the cyclists will have the
double comfort of a smooth roadway
and of being removed from the en-
tanglement of ordinary street traffic.
The public which now suffers some in
convenience from the stealthy ap-
proach of these Whizzi.S vehicles,
would also appreciate the change.
This year ought to see at least the be-
ginning of the building of bicycle paths
not only between the Twin Cities, but
radiating out from them toward the
other centers of population in the state,
until there is an extensive network of
such paths which will, at the same
time, accommodate bicycle travel and
set an example to the farmers and
others of what advantage they too may
win by massing their resources for
ordinary road Improvement The BIZ
cycle path is a necessity of the inn
mediate future.

SLAVE OF A SLAVE.
The Way in Which Major MuIvey
Glasses Manitoba.

WINNIPEG. Man, Feb. 27-Attor-
ney General Sifton's motion protesting
against the dominion governments in
reference with Manitoba's school laws,
by the passage of remedial bill, was
adopted in the legislature today after
an all-night sitting, by a vote of 81
to Z.
During a debate a fiery speech was
delivered by Maj. Mulvey, the Orange
member for Morris. He said he would
be remiSS in his duties to his conStitu-
ents If, at the first time he rose to
speak in the house. he did not enter
his protest against interference with
national schools. He had been brought
up in schools where children of all re-
Hgious denominations attended, and
this was one reason why he was a
firm believer in national schools. The
liberties of this province were never in
such danger as at present, he con-
tinued. He had taken up his gun four
times to suppress domestic troubles;
be was prepared to take it up the
fifth time in the interest of the liberty
of Manitoba. In concluding his re-
marks. the member for Russell said:
THE dominion government Is the
slave of the Catholic church, Mani
toba is in a worse state, being the
slave of a slave.
Mr.. Robin deprecated the words of
the member for Morris treating of re-
rebellion and sedition against law
and order. but they were not with
drawn.

DRINK DEEPER. GOVERNOR.

Ex-Governor Roies has written a
letter, elected by the frequent mention
Of his name as a candidate before the
Chicago convention, in which he for
bids such use and Utilities the occasion
to state again his views on the none
tary question, adhering to his position
in favor of free coinage of silver. Like
most Democrats thus holding, the
governor is undoubtedly sincere in his
opinions, although, as we sincerely
believe, he is mistaken in them
His erroneous Judgment comes
from a too ready acceptance
of the merely plausible for the
real, of what appears to be true
in place of that which is demonstrably
true. 1t is not all gold that glitters,
semblance. Rev. John Jasper is prob
ably the only person in this country
who insists that the evidence of his
sense of sight is more conclusive than
despite the latter, it is true that ode
sun do move"
The readiness of Gov Boies to accept
the apparent fact as basis for his
sober judgment is shown in his state
ment that 81 know that high-priced
labor and low-priced products thereof
are absolutely contradictory and ir-
reconcilable conditions" He accepts
thus unquestioningly the keystone of
the arch Of the policy of protection.
It Is this seeming fact on which all
the arguments of the present school of
protectionists are based. 1t is what
the talk about "pauper labor means.
It is the Samson-hair of the Republi-
can policy among the wage earners.
It looks so plausible that men accept
it without consideration. Gov. Boies
should know better. 1t may seem par
adoxical, but the actual fact is that
high-priced labor results in low-priced
products and that Iow-priced labor
gives a high-priced product. Schoen-
hof, in his Economy of High Wages"
narshals the facts of industrial pro-
duction in all the civilized countries of
the world in conclusive proof of the
truth of the apparent paradox. Even

quired to push his cause as vigorously
as is now being done.
The plain truth is that the protected
interests are advancing money to the
political managers to compass the
nomination and election of their favor
lite candidate, which they expect to
have the common people of the country
pay back to them in taxation IN case
Of his election. The scheme is to tax
the farmers and working men Of this
country to any amount necessary to
nominate and elect Mr.. Mckinley.
Everything goes swinamingly thus far.
When it comes to the last act, however,
perhaps the men who are to pay these
taxes will have something to say be-
fore they cast their ballots.
