Return Home Rs soon as
Possible.

PRINCETON, N. j., April Former
President Cleveland made the following
statement tonight relative to his intended
visit TO ST. Louis:
have had no intention OF going any fur
ther than St Louis and intend returning
as soon as possible by the most direct
route and yet in some way Il has been
given out that ! was to go to the Pacific
coast and visit Colorado and California, and
I do not know how many other states and
territories and in consequences OF this I
have received numerous letters from people
living in those localities making requests
based entirely upon the truth OF these re-
ports. II may be amusing to those who
start such rumors. but Il produces a re-
verse effect on those who are made the
victims Of such an absurd canard.

He attacked the prominent policies Of
the present Republican administration
in this state. The excise increase law
Mr.. Hill denounced as purely partisan
legislation, designed to punish large
Democratic cities, and especially New
York, for holding to the principles of
the Democratic party.
He ridiculed the policies of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as Nacillating and I'M
duly tender of the great monopolies
and said the whole Republican admin
istration was clamoring for delay in
dealing with the trust question. Sena-
tor Hills final plea was for Democratic

L0UBET AT MARSEILLES.
President of France on His Way to
Algeria.


Marseilles, April 13.-President Lou
bet arrived here to-day from Paris on
his way to Algeria, after receiving
continuous ovations along the route.
During the day NJ. Loubet made sew
eral short speeches, mainly expressive
of his sturdy republicanism.
Only one minor disturbance was re-
ported. This was between a group of
Socialist agitators and a number of
adherents of the army. Blows were
exchanged, and the police interfered
Six persons were injured, three of them
rather seriously.
A disorderly demonstration occurred
when a party of anti-government Radi-
calls cried, Down with Free Mas
oLry" Three arrests were made.
During the ceremonies at the pre-
lecture the bishop of Marseilles salut-
ed M. Loubet and spoke of the ire
proachable conduct of the clergy of
this city. He said they regarded re-
iigion as being necessary to the great
ness of the security of the country.
The President, in responding, said the
church had a mission of peace fra
ternity and reconciliation. When ii
fpltils its mission, as did the clergy
of Marseilles, the church gains the re-
Spect of all good citizens.

From the New York Press.

IOIII INV IItSS.
The Damrosch family are not I'M
known to fame in music and matri-
mony. They came by their name in
singular manner. Years ago, in Ger
many, when the government was sup
plying the Jews with German cogno-
mems. the ancestor of Walter and Frank
appeared. The official was at a loss
what to call him at first, but being a
witty fellow and noticing that said an
cestor had fiery red hair, he wrote him
down as Herr Blut Kopf, or Mr.. Red
Head" The descendants objected to
the name and changed it to the literal
Hebrew, namely. DAM" which means
blood, and 'tRosh,' head. To-day they
have a Hebrew name which does not
sound half so bad.
