CLEvELAND'S ULTlMATUM.
Authoritative Statement That He viii Not Run

New York, November 29.-Grover
Cleveland has sent the following letter
to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle:
Princeton, November 25, 19O3.-My
Dear Mr.. McKelway: have waited for
long time to say something which, 1
think, should be said to you before
others. You can never know how CRATE
full am for the manifestation of kindly
feeling toward me on the part of my
countrymen, which your iniative has
brought out. Your advocacy in the
Egale of my nomination for the Presi-
dency came to me as q great surprise,
and 1T has been seconded in such a man
ner by Democratic sentiment that con-
tlicting thoughts of gratitude and duty
have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner of a declaration on nv
part concerning the subject-if such a
declaration should seem necessary or
proper. In the midst of it all, and in
full view of every consideration pre-
sented, have not for a moment been
able, nor am l now able, to open my
mind to the thought that in my circum.
stances or upon any consideration I
should ever again become the nominee
of my party for the Presidency. MY de-
termination not to do SO is unalterable
and conclusive. This you, at least,
ought to know from me, and should be

Very sincerely yours,
Grover Cleveland.

The Brooklyn Eagle, to the editor of

LET LIQUOR ALONE.

The Columbia State of last Sunday
contained the following sad account Of
the wretched death of another victim of
alcohol:
william III. Tut, who in his young
manhood was considered model of
morality, and who used to drive to his
work in carriage, commanding fine
salary as q printer just alter the War
Between the States, died yesterday of
cold and starvation in shanty on North
Marion street. Deserted by his friends
and dragged down and weakened by dis
ease, he was brought to this pitiable
strong drink. He was found dead in
bed by negro woman who lives in the
yard. The deceased was at one time one
of the finest printers In the South, but in
the last twenty years of his life he had
been hard drinker, and for the past ten
years misfortune has followed misfor-
tune and many and severe hardships
which he has survived illustrate with
what q wonderful constitution he started,
and what splendid success he might have
attained but for his passion for whiskey:
Two years ago he was 80 horribly burned
at his Marion street home that he lost
one of his legs. He had barely been
able to subsist since, principally through
the charity of negro neighbors who
could not resist q sense of pity for his
horrible condition of want. His widow,
woman of refinement, is now a help
less cripple living with her only child, a
married daughter, residing in the North.
Mr.. Tut was born in Columbia about SO
years ago.
"Old Bilp' Tut, as he was familiarly
known to large number of newspaper
mon in South Carolina, has at last paid
the penalty of long service to King Alco-
hol. We republish the States account
Of his death in the hope that some erring
one may be induced to halt in his down
ward course and consider the possibility,
or even probability, of similar fate. OF
course no one intends to allow himself
to be dragged by liquor to the pitiable
condition of William Tutt-no more than
he intended to be dragged there. But he
was, in spite of good intentions-in spite
of himself. What liquor can do for one
man it can do for another; the opportu-
nifty is all that is needed. Tut never ex-
pected to surrender to it, yet he wasted
his substance, disgraced his family,
wrecked his life, lost his soul! For
whatp The enjoyment of "the pleasures
of sin for season." The prize is too
small and uncertain; the penalty too
great and sure-a few short years Of
maudlin pleasure against an eternity of
anguish. Let liquor alone. cat the
last it biteth like serpent, and stingeth
like an adder.''

Mrs. amer Found Not Guilty.

Gainesville, Ca, November 27.-After
celebrating two and half hours the
jury in the case of the State versus Mrs.
Onie Tanner, charged with poisoning
her husband, Wylie +. Tanner, on the
23d of May last, this afternoon at a. 1C
o'clock rendered a verdict of not guilty
and the pretty young widow walked
from the Hall county court room free
woman. She maintained her calm de-
meanor throughout the long and tedious
trial and when the verdict was read she
showed no display of emotion whatever.
When her counsel and friends gathered
around her to congratulate her she gave
each and every one the same indifferent
handshake and would only say "thank
you" in a hardly audible voice. She
stood the strain with the nerve which
few women possess and while her mother
broke down and cried for joy when the
verdict was read she never shed tear.
The case has been one of the most re-
markable ever tried in Hall county and
has excited more interest than any SINH
lar case ever did in this county. Mrs.
Tanner left tonight for the home of her
father, accompanied by his family,
where she will make her future homo.
