CLEVELAND VICTIM OF A JOKE
Politician Wins Bet by Securing
an Autograph Letter.

New York Jan. 22-Dr Murray To-
henthal. a young. unmarried and de-
corous physician. of No. 62S Carroll
street, Brooklyn, found a very aristo-
cratic-looking letter in his mail the
other day. The letter ran:
Princeton. January l.. 1895.
MT Murray Lohenthal, No. 623 Car
roll street, brooklyn:
Dear Sir cfeerfully acede to vour
request and acknowledge the compli-
ment TO my wife and daughter by be-
slowing their names upon your twin
daughters, and l hope these children
may be spared TO be of constant com,
fort and joy TO their parents. Sincere
~, yours GROVER CLEVELAND"
DR.. Lohenthars brain reeled. Being
bachelor and having no acquaintance
with the ex-President. he couldn't UNI
derstand ii all. The mystery was solv-
ed yesterday, when a friend of his on
the Park Slope. a mighty Democratic
politician, met him
The politician has made a bet with
a cynical friend that American states
man would personally reply To cour-
teous letter from the humbest of his
countrymen. The cynic took him up
and named Grover Cleveland.
The terms Of the bet were that the
answer of a letter mailed on January
B. the night of the bet, must be re,
ceiVed before January %.
Signing the doctors name the poll
tician wrote of how his marriage had
been blessed by twin daughters Would
it be asking too much for an auto
graph letter to frame which the sweet
twins could look up and read when
they grew up and cherish ever after
ward?
The great man fell into the trap and
the willy politician won his bet.

timony.
Mr.. Williams was present with his
wife, who was accompanied by Mrs.
Schenk, a friend Of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Denham. parents of the
girl, We're not allowed in the court
room. This has caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the friends of
the plaintiff, who charge that the court
is attempting TO acquit the accused.
They make the point that the accused
is an Episcopal clergyman. and that as
the court, and its officials are clergy
men of the same faith. they will,-un-
sciously it may be.-give the cause
partial trial They maintain that they
will establish the guilt Of the accused
by strict rules of evidence.
1t Is limited that a witness for the
defense, who is expected to take the
stand on Monday. will give startling
and astounding testimony.

The taking of $4,000 from the safe of
Messenger Lewis of Princes Express on

unexplained, though the police of Boston
and Portland are both working ON the
case. Messenger Lewis took the money
at the office Of the company in this city
and receipted for it with several other
packages, the largest being of $3.50. The
smaller packages were placed in a wallet
which he carries for this purpose and
placed in bag. The $4,000 package was
composed of bills and was too large to go
in the wallet and so some was placed Hin
