Stepfather of Mrs. Grover Cleveland Gets

The famous Perrine grant, some 49,
600 acres, located near Miami, Fla, is
now finally settled, Secretary Francis
having issued patent to the heirs, Dr.
Perrine, stepfather of Mrs Grover
Cleveland, being the principal benefi-

gravely questioned and attempts have
been made to open them to public set
tlement But when it became known to
whom the patents were issued, it prac-
tically settled the question.
The original grant was made by con-
gress in 1888 to DIR. Perrine of New
York, celebrated botanist, who con-
ceived the idea of propagating certain
kinds of rubber plants there. He was
killed by Seminoles, his wife and chill

and his houses burned.
Settlements were made there later
and all traces of the grant lost till 1862,

possession. The matter has been hang

neers of Their Race.
A party of 25 American colonists
have sailed on the Red D line steamer
Venezuela to make their homes ON the
Orinoco river.
The Orinoco company, while engi-
neering the colonization scheme, has a
concession for tract of land 1876 by 90
miles in the state of Bolivar, which was
granted to it by Venezuela
The concession originally embraced
about 100000 acres, of which about
5000, 900 are i'll the territory now in
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela.
That section of the territory which
the present party expect to colonize is
about 1875 miles within the boundary of
Venezuela.
The majority of those who sailed are
persons of means and come from the
northwest. Many Of them are from
Faribault, Mimi, where the officers of
the Orinoco company live
The first work of the present party
will be to build hotel with accommo-
dations for 800 colonists at a little vii
lage called Santa Catalina. This town
will be the base of operations
Every piece of timber for the hotel,
ready to put into place, is carried in the
hold of the Venezuela. A complete

well educated and are members of diff

There are three women in the party.
Their husbands We're really the organ

are Mrs H. o. Clement, Mrs. T. A.
Stewart and Mrs w. c. Henry Mr.
Clements father was one of the pioneers
of Faribault, Mimi, and is president of
the First National bank there. He is
one of the financial hackers Of the pres
ent enterprise.
Mrs. Clement is a pretty little bru-
nette, rather delicate looking, and the
last person i'll the world whom one
would expect to find en- route for the
wilds of Venezuela.
"Just think" she said "Tomorow we
leave all this SHOW and cold behind us
for climate Of perpetual summer. I'm
looking forward to life i'll Venezuela
with the greatest of pleasure.
"It will be little bit lonely at first,

tents for awhile will be nothing new to

Cooking? Well, don't suppose that

can make buckwheat cakes, but my hus-

make very good coffee, and it will really

WE SHOCKED DELOME
WHAT THE SPANISH MINISTER WROTE
ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.

He Found Our Women Bold, Extravagant
and Feared Rather Than Respected.
Three Governments, He Thought, Likely
to Rise on the Ruins of This One.
A distinguished American gentle
man who has long resided in Madrid
called my attention to a book entitled
Around the World, From Madrid to
Madrid, written by Enrique Dupuy de
LONE. AS literary work the book is
not worth much, but that part of it
which refers to the United States will
be most interesting to American read
ers, who will surely be surprised to
learn that the views upon our country
OF the present minister of Spain to
washington, the man so highly esteemed
by eX-President Cleveland and ex-Secre-
tary OF State Olney, were not, when the
book was written, at all f1attering to
the people of the United States.
Speaking of his landing at San Fran
cisco, Senior Dupuy de LONE says: eve
had been told on board the steamer all
that is usually said concerning United
States officials: They are scoundrels
and thieves. To strictly comply with
the custom house regulations will be of
no avail to you. If you carry anything
for which duties must be paid, offer IS
to the officers in attendance. Do the
same thing even in case you have to pay
nothing, so that they may not bother
you. Each passenger related his expert
ence in American custom houses, and
all added, These officials are the mean
est and most miserable fellows to be
found among politicians. They looked
as though they thought they had utter
ed the most offensive words that could
be applied to any of their countrymen.
GAS none Of us carried any dutiable
articles or wished to submit to any
imposition by paying what was not due
we resorted to a trick which worked
most successfully. One of our party had
a box Of Manila cigars which we had
unanimously resolved to throw away
These cigars we determined to use as a
means to soften the agents of the Amer
ican treasury department. Accordingly
one of US carried the box so that any

body might see it and think perhaps
the bearer was trying to conceal it.
When our turn for examination came,
the first question which the officer ad-
dressed to us was:
What have you got i'll there?'
why, it is a box of cigars.
'Cigars?'
Yes. We intend to throw them
away
You don't really mean to say so!
I'll take care of them.
Saying this, the officer caused one
of our valises to be opened for the sake
of appearances, and then he marked our
baggage with chalk, and we were at
liberty to withdraw. This we did, tax
ing one of the Occidental hotel car
riages, the golden decorations of which
made it look more like an archbishop's s
coach than lodging house vehicle. X 4
''We have all heard of the American,
such as he is usually described, with a
revolver i'll his pocket, at the mines in
California and Nevada, scalped by In
dians Or scalping Indians, losing health
and life in the whirlwind of business
or politics, struggling to satisfy his un-
quenchable thirst for gold, intelligent
and active, with inborn mercantile feel
ings and having no idea of art outside
that which is geometrically modelled. A
great patriot, he almost invariably robs
his country whenever he is called to its
service.
'"These men are evidently not the
North Americans who converted COL
ony into great nation, whose enter
prising genius has attracted the admi-
ration of the world with their great
cities and railroads and schools. They
are not the Stewarts and Astors and
Peabodys, but they are the Beechers and
Tiltons, the Belknaps and Babcocks,
the New York aldermen, the Indian
agents, the men of the whisky ring, the
innumerable lot of jobbers and bribers,
well dressed thieves and despicable
publicans, who cast shadow upon the
future of the American Union.
Referring to American women, Du-
puy de Lome's book says:
'We all know what woman in the
United States is. She is adventurous
and bold. She travels alone, with full
liberty, protected more by fear of the
law than by the respect which she in

Abduction OF a Beautiful Georgian Prin-

cess by an Admirer.
Transcaucasian society is excited
over the abduction of the young, beau
tlful and rich Princess Marie Tzulu-
kldze, daughter of Prince Samson Tzulu-
kldze OF Kutais, one of the wealthiest Of
the old Georgian families of that part
Of the Caucasus. The young princess is
only II years of age, but nowithstand-
ing her youth had many aspirants for
her hand among the impecunious sprigs
OF nobility of the province of Kutais.
A short time back the young lady with
her mother went to a fete given by
member of the family who had hand
in the plot.
The usual gayety Of a Georgian fete
prevailed, and toasts drunk in the light
wine of the Transcaucasus added ami
nation to the occasion. But amid the
clinking of glasses to the pledge "Allah-
ver-di"-God give you health--and the
singing of the Georgian bacchanalian
refrain, "mraval jamierre, 2" with which
1t is the Georgian custom to accompany
each toast, neither mother nor daughter
had suspicion of what was coming.
Toward the end of the entertainment
the lady of the house, under pretense of
a headache, left the company, followed
by the other ladies present, the young
princess straying to a part of the house
by herself
Suddenly one Of the more audacious
OF her admirers appeared, and in spite
of her cries and struggles carried her off
to carriage that was in readiness and
sped away with her, his flight being
covered by his accomplices. The mother,
almost beside herself at the loss of her
child, started in pursuit, but up to the
writing of the news had found no trace
