Twenty-Fifth Anniversary.

Thursday was the 18th anniver-
sary of the founding Of the Andrews
grocery in this city, one of the solid
business houses of the county. Mr..
Andrews first opened his store here
May 70, 1872, in room where the
Rock Island restaurant now stands.
In those days store room was hard
to find in Wellington and Mr.. An
drews temporarily sold goods from a
small shell Of a building while the
store room that used to stand on the
Farmers Bank corner was being pre-
pared for him. The following year
Mr.. Andrews bought the property
where the Curtis Mercantile Co. now
does business, and moved his stock a
few steps nearer. the business center
of the city. He remained in that
building until July, 1880, when he
moved to his present location. Here
he has, by strict attention to business
and by honest dealing, built up one of
the best grocery trades in the county.
Mr.. Andrews has never formed a part.
nerShip in business and perhaps never
will. He has always patrOnized the
newspapers literally and in return has
watched his business steadily grow
and prosper until today it ranks
among the first business houses in the
city and county. The Andrews gro

Chairman RaY'S Bolt.

The Topeka correspondent to the
Kansas City Journal sends that paper
the following political version of
Judge Rays bolt from the Silver 10
the POpuIiSt party:
Topeka, Kan, May Is Special =
James a. Ray, of Wellington, chair
man of the Kansas silver state central
committee, has OoIted thesilver party
and become a full-hedged POpuliSt.
He so notified Secretary Il. W. Turner,
of the board of railroad commission
ers, today. Turner, Ray, McNall,
Little, TillotsOn and Federman, who
call themselves silver Republicans,
got up the silver party in Kansas, and
elected Ray as chairman Of the state
committee. A convention of silver
forces was called for May 20 in this
city. Some Of the SilverteS becoming
alarmed lest the thing should become
d tizzle, began ~ write letters to
various persons throughout the state
pleading with them TO get up dele
cation and come down. Ray was
asked how many he could muster up
from the vicinity of Wellington. In
a letter received by Turner today,
Ray says that he can't muster up any
delegates, and, although chairman of
the state committee, he will not at
tend the convention. He says there
is no room in Kansas for silver
party. He will quit wasting his
energies trying to build up a party of
that kind. The only way to do, he
says, is to join the POpulist party out
and out, and hereafter be will be
found working in POpulist harness.
He also suggests that steps should be
taken Immediately not only to merge
the silver party into the POpuliSt
party, but that the Democratic party
what is left Of it-ShOuld be caught
by the throat and held until it is
swallowed also.
Turner did not care to make a guess
as to what would become Of his party,
but thought that the chances were in
favor of a reorganization and the
election Of new chairman. He says
that the time has not yet arrived
when the silver Republicans of Kan
sas want to gOOver, body and breeches,
to POpuliSm.

All GRAY GABLES.
President Cleveland Makes Many
improvements at His Home.
Kindness Extended to q Lone Oysterman
squatting Upon His Domains-Seat
of Government to be Cape
Cod This Summer.

When Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Gray
Gables with her children to spend tho
summer there she found that in the
winter many changes and improves
ments had been made about the eX-
tensive property. A heavy storm last
winter tore a great hole in the sea wall
that protects the house and it's imme,
date grounds, and this has been re-
placed by stronger and more hand-
some embankment of stone.
The big lily pond had been empticd
and cleaned and then refilled. Thera
are now growing aquatic plants of the
rarest and most beautiful kinds. Mrs.
Cleveland is especially fond of the water
lilies, and the president had this pond
made year or two ago for her benefit.
On the shore of the Monument river
side of the estate there is an oyster.
mans cabin, the only building on the
1o0-acre tract that the president does
not own. The oysterman built his
cabin before Mr.. Cleveland bought the
property, and it is said that the presi-
dent did not know it was there for two
or three years. One day he was walk
ing along the river bank and saw the
cabin and the oysterman. Mr.. Cleve-
land asked him what he was doing
there, and the humble oysterman ex-
planned that he had been allowed to
tuild his cabin on thc spot where it
stood by the former owner of the land.
He had no lease or other legal right
on the premises, but he modestly en-
planned that it was good location
for his business, and asked that he
might be allowed to remain, promising
that he would never make his presence
known to the occupants of the great
house, some distance away.
The president told the oysterman he
might remain there as long as he
wished, and there would be no rent to
pay. This man is the only one allowed
to trespass on the place
Daddy" Brunn has caught the first
bluefish of the season. He is the local
fish prophet, and he says the season
is going to be an extraordinary one for
large catches. The bass in the inland
ponds are biting WE'LL and on the sea
lodges there is already some good sport.
1t is said in Marion that Secretary
Carlisle has taken = cottage in that
place for the summer. This seems quite
probable, as the president will want
his financial adviser handy. With Sec
retary Olney in Falmouth, Private Sec.
retary Thurber in Marion and probably
Secretary Lamont near by, the seat Of
government will be Cape Cod instead
Washington this summer.
