Sudden Death.

An ill spent life has taken tn,
eternal flight without warning
isnatched away in the midst o.
drunkenness. No one seems to
know his real name and no one
seems to care. He was called
Scotty and is now cold and stiff
in the embrace of death at Ull.
ery's mortuary. He was a sheep
herder from Lincoln county and
has been here for some time and
was drunk most of the time.
Early Sunday morning he pur-
chased a drink of whiskey at a
local saloon and complained OF
feeling badly. A short time
afterwards he went out and sat
on a bench near Sue Lees laun-
dry and in a few moments fell off
the bench dead. He was about
forty-five years of age. Some
say his right name was Melon
aid and Others say it was Smith.
He has been coming to Roswell
for years. He was courteous in
department and was a man OF
few words. 1t seems that his
worst fault was his craving for
strong drink.
Later it has developed that
his name was Charles Smith
or Charles Mcdonald and that
he has rich relatives in Scotland
who have been sending him
money A few months ago he

Ex-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Having been interviewed on the subject of his projected Western journey, Mir. Cleveland said;
 T have no idea of the itinerary and am equally ignorant as to the other details. But I can tell you it's purpose-its only purpose. The trip Is in fullfillment of my promise to attend the opening of the Worlds Fair at St. Louis-nothing else nothing more"
 Since it was originally announced sever al days ago that the ex-President would
 make an extended tour of the West. last ing thirty days or more, curiosity and conjecture as to its purpose, mixed with a good deal of criticism, based upon the assumption of unsubstantial fact, have
 been generously indulged in by the lead CTS and organs of both of the great pol itical parties
 The very general assumption has been to the effect that Mir. Cleveland has again entered upon the rough and thorny road of practical politics. and as a third term candidate for the Presidency. Even The New York World, which published his personal statement of his sole purpose that of keeping his promise to participate in the dedication of the St. Louis World s Fair-seriously discusses in the same issue his candidacy as if it were a reasonable possibility. or even probability. Other newspapers of standing. both Democratic and Republican. have considered the sub ject in the light of the same possibility or probability.
 Thhe Public Ledger. although no better informed in respect of the matter than it's contemporaries, does not believe that Mir Cleveland has any thought. wish. or as- piration to became a third-term candid ate, since. probably. no one appreciates more fully than he the overwhelming strengh of popular sentiment against the third-term idea. Besides we can perceive

BOWEN TO LANsDowNE.
Tells Why He Suggested Changes in
 Protocol.

Washington, April 7.-Herbert ". Bowen. Venezuelas plenipotentiary with the powers for the signing of the proto. eols for the settlement of their claims against Venezuela. returned to Washing. ton tonight after a brief visit to New York.
 Upon arriving here he found awaiting him note from Sir Michael Herbert, the British Ambassa dor. containing an in- quiry from Lord Lansdowne as to Mir Bowen's reasons for suggesting certain changes in the preamble of the original draft of the protocol providing for the submission of the case to The Hague tribunal. Mir. Bowmen promptly made a reply reciting in detail the reason he had for making the changes.
 MT. Bowen last week rejected the prin- cipal amendments made by the allies to the protocol. The amendments gave The Hague the power to determine whether Venezuela should pay the expense of the blockade in case the questions of pre- ferential treatment went against the allies and specific that in determining the question of the preferential treatment The Hague should have regard to the re- sources of Venezuela other than the 90 per cent customs revenues from two Of the principal ports which may be availa- ble for the claims of other powers.
 No reply from Lord Lansdowne to indi- cate just what will be the final attitude of the allies on these important questions has reached here.

 MT, Bigelow came here from Europe during the winter for the avowed purpose of contesting hts wifes suit. The case was referred to Charles Donohue, former ly a judge of the Supreme Court. Many witnesses were examined. The referee found that the charges had been sus- tained and decided in Mrs. Bigelow's fa- vor.
 By the terms of the decree ope of the children, Mildred. is to remain in her fathers custody. with the provision that her mother may see her and have access to her at any time. The other children. Edith, Evelyn and Dorothy. will remain with their mother. Their father may see them when he wishes and each may de- eide when she comes of sufficient age uri- der the guardianship of which parent she will continue.
 This decree was signed by Judge Blanchard of the Supreme Court.
