CLEvELAND'S REAL INCOME.
Statement About Much
Discussed Matter.

Authoritative Statement About Much
Discussed Matter.
After a considerable period Of be-
lief that Mr.. Cleveland had become
comparatively rich as the result OF fl
nancia. operations In association with
his friend, e. G. Benedict, the broker,
story to the other extreme is now
going tie rounds to the effect that his
income is only $1,000 a year, says
Harper's Weekly. The truth is that
Mr. Cleveland's income from his in
vest,nents is between $1,000 and $10,-
600, to which he adds an average Of
about $1,000 by writing occasional. es-
says for publication. He might have
acquired larger fortune, doubtless.
but for the fact that he would never
permit his bankers to buy or sell stocks
on margins. Mr.. Benedict, however,
makes his few investments, and they
are generally wise ones.
Some years ago Mr.. Cleveland had
5000 to spare and Mr.. Benedict OBJ
tanned for him the right, which he
availed himself of, to subscribe for the
stock Of a projected trust company.
The knowledge that the former Pres!-
dent was to become one Of their share
holders inspired the promoters with a
brilliant idea. After consultation, they
sought Mr.. Benedict, and through him
offered Mr.. Cleveland the Presidency
of the company at salary of $4,000
a year. 1t was a legitimate undertake
ing, backed by reputable men, but Mr..
Cleveland somewhat reluctantly de-
clined on the ground that he was un.
acquainted with the details of the busi-
ness and that the condition of his
health would not permit of the severe
application requisite to effective serv-
ice.
Again he was urged to accept with
the assurance that his duties would ba

with the company being considered
sufficient recompense for his remuner.
alton. Mr.. Cleveland replied simply
that that would seem to him too much
like selling the use of his name, which.
Of course, he could not do. That closed

POWER OF ENDURING PAIN
Many Undergo Surgical Operations

Many Undergo Surgical Operations
without Taking Anaesthetics.
The incident Of physician with q

doctor to another to get it set without
an anaesthetic and finally securing the
heroic treatment at Bellevue is to to-
day SO much out Of the ordinary that
it secures liberal space in the newspa.
pers. The fact that painful opera.
ton was performed without chloro.
form or ether is itself thought worthy
Of notice. The refusal of several ply
sicians to perform it Is eloquent in
the state Of surgical practice
Now and then in some doctors Of
flee or medical museum we see a case
Of instruments which seem better fit
ted for the carpenters bench or the
butchers block than for the surgeons
table. There are knives as large as
carvers for cutting through quivering
and sensitive flesh with free sweep
| and swift stroke, as if it were dead
meat, and great saws for severing hu.
man bones like firewood The sight
of them is enough to make one glad
not to have lived in the old days. It
is much more comfortable to be carved
up now.

was the greatest blessing of the nine
teenth century to humanity the threat

struments Is likely to change his opin.
ion. Out Of the football field men
now and then get joints dislocated and
stoically have them set without ether
and rush back into the scramble. Bat.
tie and accident and disease still in
flict untold suffering under circum.
stances which no anodyne can deaden.
But in ordinary life for the most
part we have become so accustomed
to relief from physical pain in surgi-
cal practice that the deliberate pre-
ference for endurance rather than OBJ
livion excites interest and remark. Yet
only few years ago such endurance
was matter Of course. To-day many
people, even to- save their lives, would
not face the pain of the old-time prac-
t1ce, SO much have habit and the
knowledge of surgical luxury affected
US. Just as it is impossible for him
who has grown into the life of ease
and self-indulgence to take up the re-
gimen Of early days, when he worked
with his hands and lived on hard fare,
SO it Is impossible for most Of us to
face pain as our fathers and mothers
did.
Some students Of the Chinese tell
us that their remarkable endurance
Of pain is not SO much stoicism rs
lack of sensitiveness. They do not
feel pain as the Caucasian does. If
that be true it Is easy to believe in
great variations not merely in self
control, but in sensory responsiveness.
Perhaps our people, besides being less
habituated to the endurance of pain
as a matter of course, are also more
sensitive to It, not only mentally, but
physically. The modern nervous ten
sion and quick responsiveness may
lay upon the hero of to-day a vastly
greater burden than was borne under
the same suffering by the man OF an
earlier time, who was not Drawer or
more self-contained or more the mas
ter of his own soul, but whose physi- !
cal being did not vibrate with any
thing like the same intensity under
external impulse.

AGAIN IN THE FIELD.
The Bloomingdales Anxious to Play
Thirteen-Year-Old Teams.

The Bloomingdale Athletic Club has made
remarkably rapid strides. Organized in 1902
as club embracing base ball only, the club
grew SO rapidly that now it is represented
by foot BAH team and is thinking of or
ganizing a track team. In 1902 the club,
with a record of thirty-nine games played
and only two lost, won the championship
for teams of it's class. In 1903, after defeat
ing almost all the local clubs of Its class,
the Bloomingdales were defeated in a post
season series with the Athletic Stars of
Northwest Washington and lost the cham
pionshfp. In 1904 they entered the -Four
eye" League and won the pannant after
hard race The same year, with record OF
ffty-six games played and only four lost,
the club claimed the championship, and de-
feated the Little Rocks, who were the only
ones to dispute the title, by the overwhelm-

ON THE RIVER FRONT
POWER BOAT FOR EASTERN
BRANCH CONTRACTORS.
Police Boat Vigilant to Overhaul
Pleasure Craft Preparing for
Service-Other Matters.

A large sailing boat belonging to Mr.. Ed
ward Whyte was sold day or two ago to
the contractors for the running of the new
sewer under the Eastern Branch, from the
pumping station now being erected, to the
Anacostfa side of the stream. The new
owners of the boat will have her equipped
with a five-horse-power gasoline engine
and will use her in the Eastern Branch
work, towing material laden scows from
point to point, as wanted in the progress
of the work. The boat was built by Mr..
Whyte for his own use and is a stanch
craft. She is about 80 feet long and has
ample beam to give her stability on the
water when loaded to the fullest extent:
Mr.. Whyte will replace the boat with a
large steam launch, which he will build
during the coming summer.
