For some years the question Of

officials, aad especially with ex Pres.
idents of The Unired States has given
the American people no little trou-
bic. So far as eX Presidents are
concerned eX Presidents Cleveland
and Harrison have settled that to the
satisfaction of the public by showing
that they are ahunduntly able to take
care of themselves. As to other cx-
o iiicials Wheeling offers solution of
the problem which will doubtless
prove satisfactory. The Intelligent
Ger of last Friday SAYS: "N. II. Blon,

did the same. The place where the
empress treasure lay is described as
