Persistent Rumor That Cleveland Was
Dead Was q Fake.

Cleveland, o., May 14.-Persistent ru-
mors to the effect that ex-President
Cleveland. who is fishing at Middlebass
island, in Lake Erie, had dropped dead
to-day, reached here from the east and
west this evening.
Mddebass island is one of the group
lying off Sandusky, and it is only a.
short distance from Put-In-Bay island,
which is connected with the mainland
by cable at Sandusky The Western
Union operator at the latter place said
tonight that while the cable office on
the island had been closed all day, the
cable was in working condition. No
message concerning Mr.. Cleveland or
anything else. he said, had been offered
on the cable to-day. There is no other
way in which news could have been
sent. except by boat to this city, San
dusky, Toledo or Detroit. and no boats
have arrived at either Of those places
since forenoon.
A special from Sandusky says the
steamer Arrow arrived at 1850 from
the island. The captain said he saw

LET THEM GO.

A parcel of students at the Normal
play game of ball contrary to orders
of the constituted authority at the
school. For this disobedience the fac
ulty has suspended fifteen of the Of
tenders, and now a large body Of the
young men in the school threaten to
resign and leave the institution unless
these suspended youths are restored to
good standing.
Well, in the name Of all that is order
ly and decent. let them resign and never
return. 1t has come to a pretty pass,
indeed, if in schools maintained by the
State at the expense of taxpayers, pu-
pills are to dictate the policy of the in
stitutions to the members Of the fac
ulty invested with authority over the
school. Discipline must be maintained
in these places or their usefulness will
be utterly destroyed.
The State is not suffering and will
not suffer If these threatened resigna-
tons take place. The State will live
when these bunptious youths have
gone back to their homes. There is
no dearth OF trained teachers in the
land, but there is deploraple lack ev-
erywhere of respect for constituted au-
thority, regard for parental control and
responsibility, and lamentable disre-
gard for order and the laws Of the
land.
If the rebels at Chico are temporized
with for an instant; if they are taken
back and forgiven without doing pen
ance, there will be an end to authority
in that institution, and it had as well
be closed up or turned over to the pu-
pills to be run as they see fit, and with
out the aid Of teachers, governing
boards or a principal.

THE NEW COUNTY Detective
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BAKER
NAMES HIS MAN.
The Supervisors Accordingly APP
point Mark Golden to
That Position.

At yesterdays session of the Board
Of Supervisors, District Attorney Baker
stated that there was urgent need for
the appointment or employment of
some one to perform the duties of
County Detective to assist the District
Attorney in prosecuting important
cases now pending.
Supervisor Morrison said he was not
disposed to deny Mr.. Bakers request,
but the fact was there was no money
available to pay for the services Of
such an officer. The law is very
stringent in denying the board the
right to incur any expenditures to meet
which there were no funds now on
hand. A little later it could be done
Mr.. Baker said he believed he had
the authority to employ necessary as
sistance, anyhow.
Supervisor Mclaughlin moved that
the board name person to assist the
District Attorney in suppressing crime
and collecting evidence in criminal
cases.
Mr.. Morrison said the law did not au-
thorize the board to select a person
for this duty, but the District Attor-
ney can do so. The proper action
Wouio NC " empower the OlSlIlCt Al"
torney to employ person.
On cali Of the roll Gillis, Mclaughlin
and Curtis voted aye, and Morrison
and Jenkins no.
At the request of Jenkins, Mr. Baker
said he had a choice for the position
in the person of Mark Golden, q man
whose qualifications he had investt-
gated and found to be satisfactory.
Jenkins then moved that the District
Attorney be permitted to name the
person to be so employed. seconded by
Mclaughlin.
The motion was carried, all voting
aye except Morrison, who said ne did
not feel that the expense should be
incurred when there was no money
with which to meet it.
Golden's salary was, on motion Of
Mclaughlin, fixed at 500 per month.
Morrison and Jenkins voted no on
the ground Of creating an expense for
which there are no funds jenkins
further explained his vote by saying

of $1,000 experimental filter be any
test Of the cost of filtering the neces-
sary millions of gallons this city needs.
Nor, if the board is so anxious to test
a filtration plant is there any need to
pay any one $500, with a permanent
contract in view, to try that which the
board can itself experiment with, since
there is no monopoly by patent or 9TH
erwise. upon the principle Of passing
water through fltering beds of sand or
other substances. There are patents
upon methods of doing the work and
upon varying mechanical devices; like
wise upon systems Of chemically effect
ing deposition Of matter carried in sus-
pension, ETC., but not upon simple sand
filtration.
Clearly the board has. acted upon
insufficient information. Assuredly the
upon which tie
board has passed exposes nothing
sufficient to warrant the expenditure
authorized. Nor does it give the peo-
pie the slightest indication what the
probable cost of the proposed filtration
will be, nor what the capacity of the
device is to deliver us a constant, am
pie and economical supply. These facts
ought to have been first ascertained.
In the meantime the people may re-
fleet upon the readiness of the board to
scatter 81 800 for a chimerical idea.
while it refuses to spend a dollar to de-
velop the clear water subterranean sup
ply on the east side of the city.

NOT A FAIRY TALE.

Inc annual financial review Of the
New York Times" which has come to
be accepted as accurate and conserva-
tive, notwithstanding it flies in the very
face of the editorial side of the paper
which finds nothing worthy in protec-
ton and is eternally complaining of the
system under which it flourishes. makes
for the new year the best financial
showing that has ever been recorded.
For instance we learn that money was
never SO plenty in the history of the
nation The man with funds can no
longer invest to profit except he is
content with from three to four per
cent, while better returns are offered
in the security market to-day than ever
before. In 1898 hundreds Of millions
on hundreds Of millions of dollars were
added to the current market value Of
securities"
Coincident with this fact there was
unparalleled activity in transactions.
To use the exact words Of the Times"
again:
Those who work in fables and test
lmaglnation's utmost ability can but
stand dazed at the records of the like
that tell what actually came to the
American financial world in 1898.
lncommensurate is the estimate that
American securities have recently adj
vanced in their market value a thou
sand millions of dollars >
But above all and beyond all, more
important and more influential than all
else, is the fact that American conf
dence is backing American business
