RICHARD FOLSOM CLEVELAND son OF THE Ex-pREsiDENr.


lego take as much interest IN Grover
Cleveland as does Grover Cleveland In
Princeton college. Therefore. when an
old gypsy woman hobbled about the
historic halls around the campus that
afternoon she found more ready sale
for gossip on the advent OF the latest
scion OF Cleveland than she did for
oranges and bananas and candy In
little bags.
But short while before she had
learned the news by rare mischance.

the butler OF the ox-presldents home.
She hobhlod up to the back door. re-
moved an old colorcd shawl from her
pack. and asked TO display her wares

the butler. tossing a coin 10 her.

the people have no time TO trade with
you. And when you 20 out don't walk

The old woman hurried away, shak-
ing hor rings In her ears, and told
everyone she met. Princeton first
heard OF II through the gypsy wom-
an. and within FIVE minutes the college
bulletin board bore the following
notice:
Grover Cleveland, Jr., arrived to-
day. at 12 o'clock; will enter Prince

thought differently, and bestowed upon
The child the name OF Richard Fol-
Bom.
Down In Princeton they say the It
tie fellow came into the big, wide
world handicapped, because he was
born In the land OF Jersey. but Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland don't think as do their
friends. The three other children OF

While In old times II was moro or
less the custom. In the lnterment OF
bodies, 10 bury them with their feet to

superseded by the almost common
practice OF burying the body with the
feet TO the path along the front OF the

custom TO place the coffin IN the room
In which the deceased was 10 lie be-
fore burial with the feet to the east.
Nowadays the disposal OF the body In
the room would be- determined alto
gothor by the shape and size OF tho
room. except that commonly the feet
would be placed toward the door.
Though the common way Ia to place
the body In the center OF the room. an
other way IN comparatively modern
practice, IL to place the coffin or caaket
across one corner OF the room. This
gives opportunity for convenient and
effective disposition OF flowers and for

A SPECIAL SESSION.
California Legislature Convenes K
Elect U. s.. Senator.

Sacramento, California, January
29.-The extra session of the legiSla-
ture called by Gov. Gage will convene
today. The main reasons given for
calling it are, first, to elect United
States senator from California to fill
the vacancy due to the expiration of
the term of Stephen M. White; and
second, to amend the political code,
giving harbor commissioners control
of certain portions of San Francisco
bay. At the last regular session of
the legislature, Gov. Gage used all his
power to further the election, as sena-
tor of Daniel NJ. Burns, a political
boss to whom he owed his nomination.
The opposition to Burns was SO bit
ter, however, that deadlock contin-
ued through the>whole session. Had
the Quay case been decided in favor OF
the appointee, Gov. Gage stood ready
to appoint Burns, but the uncertainty
about Quay has led him to call the
extra session. The best informed pol
iticians believe that Burns has secured
majority of the So republicans II
open caucus, or the governor woulc
not have called the Legislature to

London, Jan. 29.--The week has
opened with the utmost gloom for the
British public and the reaction is all
the stronger because of the high hopes
that were reposed in Gen Buffers
turning movement and of his an
nouncement that there would be g no
turning back.
At the very moment when Dr.
Levds is being received as an honored
guest to the highest circles on the
continent. Great Britain has to face
the worst disaster in campaign thus
far disastrous. Open talk is heard of
the absolute necessity of abandoning
Ladvsmith to it's fate, while Lord
Roberts reverts to the original plan OF
an advance over the Orange river up
the Bloemfontein.
To Ladysmith the disappointment
must be very bitter. A despatch from
| the Boer laager near the town, dated
Jan. "a, describes the garrison as
every evidently preparing desperate
coup in order to effect Il junction with
Gen. Buffers advancing army
1t may be regarded as certainty
that in the confident hope of early re-
lief. Sir George White has lately been
issuing extra rations, and this fact
has given rise to an exaggerated idea
as to the length of time the provision
would lasH
Even should it be decided t'
send Gen. Butler reinforcements
land to attempt to reach Lady
smith by a movement through
the still more difficult country east
Of Colenso, it is extremely doubtful
whether the garrison could hold oll'
long enough as such movement
would occupy at least month.
The situation at other points is un
changed but indications that Lore
Roberts is preparing plans for an ad
vance across the Orange river come il
despatch to the Daily Chronicle from
: Storksstroem, dated Jan. %, Wlllc
1 saws that Thebits, an important posi-
> ton near Steynsburg, on the storm
e berp- -Rosmead line, is now occlple
t by the British, who are repairing tll
n railway and bridges. The correspond
n ont observes that this will facilltat
a communication between Gen. GaIac'
d and Kelly-kenny.
