A Study Tor the Psychologist

| The Or. Jckyll and Mr.. Hyde of fic
ton were very interesting characters.
but the New York papers are telling
a tale of dual personality in real life
which makes fiction seem dull ana
commonplace. Unlike our distin-
guished friends whom Mr. Steven
| son created. the dual personalities in
question were quite distinct and under
the fun control Of their possessor. The
only tie between them was the money
which the people OF New Jersey vi
| lage deposited in their local bank.
In this village where everybody
knows everybody else there was
quiet and we'll behaved youth named
| William Schneider. He lived with his
mother and sister in n humble home
and supported them by his salary as
| clerk in the bank which he had entered
ures, too smart as is now shown, and
for II years was a trusted clerk with
| the best of regulations and every
promise of an honorable and success

For years one of the sports of the
gllded resorts Of the Tenderloin dis
trlct of New York has been Billy
Hart. lie was always dressed in the

money. He installed a Mrs Hart III
gaudy apartments and lavished raj

of thing. There was one mystery
about him: he was only seen with

Ex.President CleveIand's Position.

Few have doubted that in this cam
paign, as in the last, the sympathy Of
ex-President Grover Cleveland was
all with Mckinley as against Bryan
and Organism. 1t has not been eX-
pected that he would openly declare
his attitude, as exPresident Harrison
has done. Attempts to interview him
have failed and he has refused to issue
cal associates, with the exception Of
ex-Secretary Olney, are openly for the
reelection of President Mckinley, and
it has been felt that he was in full
sympathy with their sentiments. At
length, however, he has issued letter
of no little significance, though he still
declines to make any direct statement
of his position. The letter is to John
S. Green of Louisville, who wrote TO
the former president inquiring if he
has changed his views on the financial
question as expressed in his letter to
y
Mr. Cleveland is not in the habit of
changing his mind and he promptly
answered. as follows:

copy of my letter written more than

Following are some extracts from
the letter referred to, the letter which
expresses his sentiments now as it did
then, and no one reading them can
doubt for moment the undying hos
tility of Grover Cleveland to Bryan and
all he represents:

There are many good people in this
country who have little respect tor an
American hall OF fame which does not
contain q panel bearing the name Of
James q. Blaine.-kansas City Jour
nal.
True. and there is no doubt that the
name of Blaine will be blazoned there
with the other greatest Americans.
To omit such name would make the
hall a travtsty and mockery. But the
terms of the gift OF the hall provide
that only the names shall be selected
of those who have been dead at least
10 years. and thus Mr.. Blaine will not
be eligible for several years Thus
far only 80 names have been chosen
Of the 100 which viii be- placed in the
hall. In two years 20 more will be
chosen, and the remaining 50 Will b.
selected at intervals during the next
