rs cents, 40 cents and ~ cents, the odd

AT a dinner given by the Brook
1yn Democratic Club to commemo-
rate the anniversary of the birth
of Thomas Jefferson last night, a
letter was received and read from
ex-President Cleveland. He thought
the faults of the party in power
were many; that Democrats should
not be encouraged to hope for the
restoration of wholesome admin
istration on the shortcomings OF
their adversaries. He warned the
party against following false lie ad-~
ers, when they discover tendency
IN the party control to subordinate
the principles Of true Democracy.
Ex-Presldent Cleveland can well
compare the state Of trade and the
condition OF the worklngmen now,
with whoa he sat in the Presiden-
tial chair. When workshops. the
anvil and the forge stood silent,
when the spinning machines rusted
from idleness, when the workmen
walked the streets half clothed and
fed, looking in vain for work, with
tree soup houses in all sections Of
the city. The present administra-
ton may have made some mistakes,
but happiness and wei filled purses
have gone with the mistakes.
Cleveland and his party made such
mistakes that hundreds nearly
starved TO death. We are inclined
to think the working people would
rather have four years of prosper
ity under Mckinley S mistakes than
four years OF misery under Cleve-
land or Bryan.

Beers Are Intent in Sweep
ing the Southern Dis
trict of Wepener. 80

London, April 19.--What will be
the result of Roberts sensational
dispatches is the topic of the hour,
overshadowing all war news! a
rumor emanating from the highest
quarters says positively that Bull
ler's recall is only question OF
short time.
Already .Warren's recall is men
toned as having been issued, and
the War Office won't contradict.
The officers, Of course, won't talk
over their own names, but provided
their identity is concealed they are
ready enough toexpress themselves
Said an officer Of high standing:
"For what occult reason has this
dispatch been dlsinterred, reviving
wretc he'd memories and stirring up
as it must, hatred, malice and I'M
charitableness? One plausible en-
PLANTATION has been offered, but it
only makes the matter worse. Ii
has been suggested that a further
change in commands at the front is
visible, and no better way could be
found Of removing Butler or getting
him to resign. If this is the inten.
ton it is an unworthy one and cam
not be too strongly condemned, but
something of the kind is surely in
the wind, and the public may look
for further surprises. y
Among other stories set afioat by
~ I
one that Buffers staff and War
ren's staff have not been on speak,
ing terms since Spion Kop and the
confusion arising which cost so
many lives, and there was no alter
native but to publish the reason
pending recalls.
This is also said to be the exp!a-
nation of Buffers inactivity since
the relief OF Ladysmith. Roberts
orders kept him still.

Lady Maitland, who IL Said To Resemble
Good Queen Eleanor.
The Vlscountess Maitland Is one OF
the artistic beauties of English society
belonging to the set that includes the
Marchloness of CRANKY, Lady Poyn-
ter and others who make friends of
the great artists and are more or less
skillful with their own brushes and
colors. Lady Maitland Is n slim, blonde
young Scotch woman, the daughter of
II Judge, and by marrying the young
viscount she entered the famous Lau-
derdale family, than which there are
none greater known In Great Britain.
On the death OF her father-in-law her
husband becomes the fourteenth earl
of Lauderdale, and her home will be
In the historic and beautiful Thrill
stane castle, built by the Lauderdales
six centuries ago. II Is one of the
proud boasts of this ancient Scotch
family that the heads of the family
have always married Scotch women,
and that of the thirteen portraits of
the countesses of Lauderdale which
hang In Thlrlstane castle not one but
is consplcuously lovely. When the pres
ent heir of the earldom chose Miss
Gwendolne Lucy Williams for his
wife he showed that he was no less
