CLEVELAND BUYsLAND.
Fishing Grounds Near Buzzard's Bay
Are His Domain.

Buzzard's Bay. Mass, May 21-Ex-
President Grover Cleveland has decided
to spend the entire summer with his
family at his home here. He has be-
come by proxy the owner of a vast
tract of oyster beds, and has through
the same means obtained exclusive
fishing privileges over the waters sur
rounding his home.
For years oyster diggers have worked
Monument beach and Manomet river,
which border Mr.. Cleveland's estate,
and they have Uttered the shores with
shell and other debris. The township
of Bourne sells the fishing and oyster
digging rights, but they can only be held
by residents of the town. Mr.. Cleveland
being a resident of Princeton, n. J., was
ineligible, but easily got around this by
having his superintendent, Bradford
Wright, a lifelong resident of the town,
buy up miles Of shore, which gives Mr..
Cleveland the exclusive privilege.
Mr.. Cleveland has also leased a large
grove just back of his estate that has
always been used for picnies, and signs
warning trespassers have been put up.

have Gray Gables ready for opening

raise the bodies off the ground, where
they had fallen through a miscalcula-
ton made by the hangman Mr.. Ander-
son says the story Of this executor
and its cause is one of the many side
lights on the nature Of the native Fill
pinO. These five men, who were La
dronneS, or buShWhackerS, captured the
native presidente, or mayor of Calambo,
carried him into the jungle a short dis
tanee from the town and buried him
alive, with only his head above ground.
But this was not all, they planted MIN
near an ant hill, and when the Ameri-
can soldiers found him a few days later,
the savage insects had eaten all the
flesh off his head. He was identified by
his hair and beard and a little dirt
scraped over the whitened and gruesome
skull and tie interment was complete.
He says this horrible murder had been
committed because the presIdente was
known to be friendly to the Americans.
BY means of their Maccabebee scouts
and the water cure administered to sew
eraI natives the names of the murder
ers were learned, and the scouts were at
once put on their trail, with the result
here depicted. The execution took place
June is, 1901.
The man at the drop, Private Wilson.
of company G. Eighth infantry, refused
to pull the drop, and explained to the
officer in charge of the execution that
the natives would mark him for the
slaughter, and get him If they had to
sneak into his quarters. Some one had
to do the work. and the officer detailed
the two men seen in the right back
ground to shoot Wilson if he failed to
pull the cord when the signal was given.

The Rev. DR. Donald c. Macleod, of
Washington, D. c., offered a resolution
deploring the spread of MOFmonism and

doctrine
Time not permitting. no action was taken
on the resolution.
Rev. DR.. Courtney H. Fem Of the
PTesbyteFy of Pel1in, as chairman of the
standing committee on foreign missions,
presented the report of that committee.
The report declares that last year was
the best one in the history of Presbyt erian
foreign missions. The board had been able
to go through the year without debt and
become members of the church. The to-
tai receipts for the year were 81 12S,577
against $685. in 1900 mainly due to large
sums received as legacies. The report con-
tinues.

day the McAIurry compromise paper on
the war claims matter, as amended last
night by the adoption of the Jordan
clause, was accepted as a substitute for
both the original majority and minority
reports of the publishing committee. The
effect of the paper adopted is to censure
any agents of the church who acted inn
properly in procuring the appropriation
from congress; endorses the offer of the
bishops to return the entire sum to the
general government if the senate of the
United States says it should; makes the
action of the bishops the action of the
general conference, and the N. E. church
south, which legalizes their future action
in the premises.
