HE KNEW B4RN1TD.
Prominent Labor Man Says There is No
 Truth in the Cleveland Story.

Truth in the Cleveland Story.
 A prominent leader in local labor cir cles, who does not wish his name used. says that he has no confidence in the story from Cleveland, O., that Mrs. Blackman, the wife of a cigar maker in that city, is the daughter of Barney Barnato the diamond king" He claims that Barnato was Pole and that his real name was Barney Wolff Balebettzke, he says, is also false. Bar nato, according to the informant was born in PetticOat Lane, London, and lived there until 1872. and the New Ha- ven manin question lived within a block and half of him and saw him ire quently and knew him. Barnato was not particularly fond of work, but gained a livelihood doing tricks" He was fond of animals and birds and was successful in training them. Barnato went to South Africa in 1872 and took his trick animals and birds with him. He had considerable luck and sent for his fiancee to join him. The young woman's name was Pollok, a resident of Petticoat Lane. She was one of a family of four girls and lived with a widowed mother. Mrs. Barnato died in child birth about eighteen months af- ter her marriage.
 The child, a girl, he said, lived, but whether it was sent to it's relatives in London he could not say. There was one thing, however, that he was sure of. For many years the diamond king" who was gaining wealth rapid ly in his new home, sent his wife's mother an annual pension. He had heard since he came to this country that Barnato continued to do so until she died.
 Knowing these facts the author of the story says that he is confident that the Cleveland story is fabrication.

The Varsity continued to row another mile which, it is claimed, was the fastest mile made since the boys went into training.
