! The welkin, by the way, was the sky
light of my studio. The world was
young when first I met Wendell. He
was then the handsomest man in the
Latin Quarter. AS drummer boy he
had enlisted in the Massachusetts, vol
a1nteers, and at the close of the war his
father set him up in a stationery shop
in New England. But the scribbler's
madness rioted in his veins, together
with love of adventure that makes him,
even at so, one of the most attractive
and refreshing of men. In a merchants
sloop he stole away one day, to, turn up
at the Latin Quarter, where in less than
a week he was it's admiration and it's
despair. A many-sided fellow was
Wendell, with a ''good disposition as
the ateliers have it, of no common or

money, no expectations, yet he had not

beauty. It was while on a sketching

She was the daughter of provincial

that Of the devil for holy Water. They

ADJUSTMENTS

THE Mascot's" third presentation
caught its audience immensely last
night. The attendance was large and
handsome. all the lower floor being
filed. Manager Burton is keeping close
track of the audiences to note the eff
feet of popular rates, and he says the
three performances have been wit
messed by nearly 1900 people. Every
thing last night went with the dash
and swing that comes from frequent
repetition, and the magnificent
choruses were applauded most vigor
cusly for their two grand finales. The
male chorus was again excellent, and
the Priscilla chorus and the Rataplan
chorus especially were good. Mr.. Sher-
man showed marked improvement, and
the audience wanted an encore of his
work with the soldiers, but he wouldn't
have it that way. Miss Savage was in
better and fresher voice, and her ac-
ton was very natural. She and Miss
Levy, who got the usual recall for her
introduced song, got some beautiful
flowers. Spencer was even more roll
lickingly funny than before, and he
kept the house roaring. Mr.. Goddard's
big song was again encOred, and Mr.
Westervelt and Mr.. Campbell were
good as before. The pretty pages and
the charming minuet were loudly ap-
plauded, and Dut 1Or the dntl-encOre
rule would have been re-demanded.
The last two renditions here are to-
night and tomorrow night. The Union
Pacific railroad states than in response

CLEVELAND'S NEW HOME
SELECTS THE TOWN OF PRINCE
TON, NEW JERSEY.
Will Occupy the Old Slidem Mansion
on Bayard Avenue-Mrs. Cleve-
land Getting Her House in Order.

Princeton, n. j. Feb. 23.-Mrs. Cleve-
land arrived at Princeton this after
noon at 1855 o'clock in a special car,
which was attached to the Southern and
New York express, which left Wash
ington at IL o'clock this morning. She
was accompanied by her mother and
her three children, besides maids and
other servants, making in all a party
of ten. Professor West, of the uni
versity, met them at the station and
assisted them to carriages which con-
veyed the party to the old Slidem
mansion on Bayard avenue, which will
henceforth be the permanent home of
President Cleveland. Mrs. Cleveland
was very plainly dressed in brown
travelling suit, and wore an alpine hat
of the same color, all of which was
most becoming to her. The baggage
which came with the party consisted
of ten trunks, besides a number of
valises.
There were also several cages con-
tanning birds and other pets which will
enliven the nursery that has been fitted
up for the little ones.
Mrs. Cleveland will remain in Prince
ton only a few days at present. After
getting the house in order, she will go
to Washington in time for the recep-
ton of Mr.. ard Mrs. Mckinley and
later will return to the new home with
Mr.. Cleveland.

BACON VS.. PARK.
Suit on Trial Involving a Lease to
the Manitou Hotel.


The trial of the case of Harvey NJ.
Bacon against Hamilton G. Park ct al,
occupied Judge Hiles yesterdav i in the
equity division of the Third district
court Judges Judd and Loofbourow
represented the plaintiff, and Messrs.
Mcdowell, Movie and Zane the de-
PENDANTS. and Attorney Pence watched
the interests of Simondi Thompson and
Ingersoll.
The question involved in this action
is the right of possession to lease Of
the ground or which the Manitou
hotel now stands.
In April, 1892, Park leased the land
to A L. Simondi, julius Thompson and
F. W. Ingersoll, who erected the Man
itou hotel: a lien on the lease was
given to ]. H. Bacon. trustee. who
afterward sold it to his brother, H. NJ.
Bacon, for the sum of $1,000.
Taxes for 1894 and 1895 were not
paid, and the property was sold by the
county collector. In September. 1895,
Park foreclosed the lease, giving them
a new one on the conditions that they
would settle I'D back rent, taxes and
all debts assessed against the property,
including Bacon's Indebtedness, which
it was promised could be done in 30
days.
A failure TO meet the requirements
of the second lease caused forfeiture
to be made. Bacon now brings suit to
have the forfeiture declared void,
claiming he did not have proper noti-
fication of the same. He also asks for
possession Of the lease.
The hearing was not concluded when
court adjourned. and the case will be
resumed this morning.

Song, Cheer, Cheer the Flag Ever
True"
The eulogy on Washington was ably
pronounced by Hon. David Candland,
who incorporated the presentation of
the national colors and a portrait of
George Washington by the same donor,
Colonel E. W. Tatlock, which awoke
much enthusiasm for the theme, the
occasion and the donor. The perora-
lion was fitting close.
Flag of the sun that shines for ALL
Flag of the breese that blows for all;
Flag of the sea that flows for ALL
Flag OF the school that stands for all,
Flag of the people one and all.
At the word Hail in the last line
the whole school rose and saluted the
flag.
Declaration of allegiance to the flag:
I pledge allegiance to my flag and
the republic for which ii stands. One
nation indivisible with liberty and JUS
Jice for ALL
The pledge was repeated by the
school standing-at its close-giving
the flag a military salute and three
cheers.

must not omit to mention Miss katie
Rasmussen's Address to the Flag" as
peculiarly worthy of mention.
At the close of the programme the
following motion for a vote of thanks
vas rendered by Trustee Candland:
Il move that we tender to Colonel
z. w Tatlock of Salt Lake, the gen
erous donor of the national flag here
unfurled and this beautiful portrait
of Washington; to our school teacher,
Alfred ]. Rees, for his unspairing pains
in getting up this demonstration; to

ton, a vote OF thanks and three cheers
and a tiger for "Old Glory"

and given with a vim.
Thus closed one of the happiest
events. The smoldering fire of pat
riotism was rekindled in the hearts of
the large crowd assembled.

The trial of the damage suit of Mer-
edith r. Jones against Houlahan. Crit
fifth, Morris. Hobson and Wilkerson
and a jury yesterday afternoon, with
ATTORNEYS George L. Nve and H. P.
Henderson representing the plaintiff
and Messrs. Ellis & Ellis appearing
for the defendants.
The allegations of the complaint are
that the defendants were contractors
for the construction of the gravity
sewer, and the plaintiff was employed
by them as a laborer.
On Sept. 10, 1894, he was engaged in
excavating and timberinc at a point
in the course of the sewer on Third
North street, between Second and
Third West streets. The plaintiff was
in the bottom of the excavation and
men on the TOP we're driving down
the timbers with mauls. The handle
of one OF the mauls in the hands OF
a workman broke and the maui fell
into the excavation, striking the plain
tiff on the head, breaking his skull and
injuring his brain, so that he has been
incapacitated from work ever since,
and is permanently injured. Careless
ness and negligence on the part OF the
defendants is alleged in not providing
mauls with good strong handles, and
the one which broke was alleged TO
be thin and weak, and not fitted for
the work for which it was used.
Plaintiff prayed for damages in the
sum of 10000.
The defendants denied carelessness
on their part, and alleged contributary
negligence on the part of the plaintiff
and his fellow employees.
The case was proceeding at the hour
of adjournment, and will be resumed
this morning

RAGsDALE AND WRIGHT.
Arrest of the Insurance Men Ap.
parentlY Not Justified.

parenCly NOT justified.
Evanston, Feb. 23.-Regarding the
arrest of A. V. Ragsdale and S. H.
Wright at Evanston, at the instance
of some dissatisfied parties, it seems
that the statements made have been
exaggerated.
The complainants are men who do
not claim they cannot read. They ad-
NIT tnev made their applications in
writing. and they don't pretend to say
that the policies they received are not
in exact harmony with the applica-
tions.
When they wrote the insurance com
planned of. these two men went into
the locality to pay the death loss of
Hon j. Van A. Carter, one of the most
respected citizens of this county. and
when there and paying the loss. they
doubtless used the favorable comments
as an aid to new business. They took
the applications of the neighbors and
friends of the late Mr.. Carter, which
were signed and read over and over
again by the applicants, and there is
no complaint that the policies do not
conform TO the written applications.
What the Misrepresentation or false
pretenses are. no one has yet been able
to learn. Certain it is that great dam
age has been done TO Messrs. Rogs-
dale and Wright. and suits are being
brought in the district court here by
them for heavy damages by reason
of the notorious arrests and exagger-
ated statements published concerning
them.
1t is but just to these men that the
public should know that their principal
business in Evanston is the settling up
ofsthe loss sustained by Mr. John Car
rick, master mechanic of the Union Pa
cific shops here, who had a policy, No.
$50, 462, which will be paid in a few
days.

the fire department, against Salt Lake
City to recover pay for the time they
were Illegally laid off, were set for trial
on March II.
A session of the federal court will be

before Justice Sommer today.
James E. Rawlings, another guards
man, is charged in Justice Margett's
court by Captain NJ. H. Lund with re-
tanning in his possession, without

to Jail pending his hearing on Thursday
afternoon.
John Doe Lewis was arrested yester-
day on a warrant issued from Justice
