Mr.. Cleveland,s Income.

From Harper's Weekly.
After considerable period Of belief that
Mr.. Cleveland had become comparatively
rich as the result OF financial operations In
association with his friend Mr.. E. c. Bene-
dict, the banker, a story to the other ex-
IRENE Is now going the rounds to the effect
that his income is only 5000 a year. The
truth Is that Mr.. Cleyeland's income from
his investments is between 5000 and S10.-
600. to which he adds an average of about
location. 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 how
ever. makes his few investments. and they
ara generally wise ones. Some years ago
Beredict obtained for him the right, which
no awaited himself of, to subscribe for the
stock of a projected trust company. The
knowledge that the former President was to
become one of their shareholders inspired
the promoters with brilliant idea After
consultation they sought Mr.. Benedict and
through him, offered Mr.. Cleveland the pres
idency of the company at a salary of $4,000
q year. 1t was legitimate undertaking.
backed by reputable men, but Mr.. Cleveland
somewhat reluctantly declined on the
ground that he was unacquainted with the
details of the business and that the eondi-
ton 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 be nom-
inak his mere official connection with the
company being considered sufficient recon-
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 the incident.

SUDDEN BLINDNESS.
One Form Is Caused by Rupture of
Blood Vessel.

from the new 1Ofk Herald
The kind Of blindness which has afflicted
the lady to whom reference is made in the
Herald of yesterday. although not a very
uncommon accident, is usually one that Oc-
ours suddenly and without previous warn
ing. 1t is due to the rupture OF blood
vessel within the eye. whereby the retina.
or nervous sheath forming the internal wall
OF the globe, becomes separated from it's at
tachment, thus shutting Off all power of
vision In the portion of membrane affected.
The hope of more or less permanent
cure rests on the possibility of an Absorb
ton of the clot and the subsequent attach
menf Of the injured tissue to it's original pO-
sitiOn. The most fortunate outcome Is the
complete restoration of sight, which is not
so much the rule as might be wished.
The original trouble is generally in the
brttleness of the vessels Of the eye due to
age, overuse, sudden and violent straining,
heart affection and the like, which allow OF
easy rupture Of the smaller veins or art
cries of the retina. With general predis-
position to such a lesion 1t is not always
possible to guarantee against secondary at
tacks. the only safety consisting in the cor
rection of such constitutional defects as
may exist and in a restricted use of the
eyes.
With perfect rest Of the visual organs the
absorption of the clot takes place in favor
able cases with gratifying rapidity. When,
however opposite conditions prevail blind
ness to a greater or less extent is apt to be
permanent. A favorable indication is when
only one vessel Is involved in the bleeding
and a single clot of moderate size is the re-
suit. When the hemorrhages are multiple
the prognosis is by no means so favorable,
as they Indicate general weakness or
breakdown of the vessels and hopeless re-
sistance against even ordinary tension.
In such respects these bleedings resem-
bic those Of apoplexy in general. only taking
place in the eye instead of the brain. Like
cerebral apoplexy, the seizures may be dur
ing sleep, the patient awaking in the morn
ing with blindness OF one eye. In the in
stance in question 1t Is gratifying to learn
that the prospect of recovery is reasonably
promising under the skilled treatment to
which the patient is being subjected.

Plain Speaking.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


Ever since Ar,stophanes used the phrase.
to ''call spade spade has been synony-
nous with plain speaking. and. In fact. has
often been urged as a justification for
harshness and even vulgarity. To call a
spade spade In all truth and sincerity IS
one thing. but to call a spade spade vui-
carly. inopportunely. with an intention to
wound. IS another. Not that for one mo-
ment should any one with a spark OF man.

that speech was given to man to conceal
his thOughts." That paradoxical epigro m
was worthy of one who was hagrantiy i'm
moral in his private life, shamelessly un-
faithful to the church which he used as a
stepping-stone for his ambition. and un-
scrupulously corrupt in his public life. This
is plain speaking. but it is necessary IN or
der to show whence such an unmanly sem
timent came. sentiment often quoted
nowadays with approval by those who do
not approve of plain speaking. Jeremy
Taylor says:

From this decision the state has ap-

The brief of the attorney general
alleges that the lower court a with
out Jurisdiction; that tuere was a de.
feet of parties; that the petition does
not state a cause of action; that the
petition is ambiguous; that the claim
of petitioner is barred by statute of
limitations; that the order or judg-
ment of the court is in violation of
sections two and three Of article elev-
en- Of the constitution, and that the
order of the court requires the doing
of an act by the auditor impossible of
performance and which would be un-
lawful and vain and futile, even If
performed.
The state admits the heirship of
William B. PomerOy, but insists that
the action cannot now be maintained
under the codes on the ground that
the codes are not retroactive, the es-
tate having escheated under the state
laws, which did not permit a citizen
to sue the state in such matters.

Mormon COLONY for Alberta.

sssSss SSsVsJ ~
Spokane, WASH, April 5.-President
Joseph Smith, head of the Mormon
church, has bought $1,000 acres of
land in Alberta, north of the Montana
line, and proposes to establish a col.
ony of Mormons on the tract. The
price paid was about Saul, 900, accord
ing to w. F. Cochran, of Nelson, B. c.,
who was in Spokane last night. Mr..
Cochran was chief owner of the Big
Bonanza ranch, as it is known. This
was the property bought by the Nor
mon leader. Improvements on the
property are estimated to be worth
2 $1,000. The nearest town to the
ranch is Mcleod, 100 miles from Cal
gary.
president Smith visited the land
last season and was pleased with it,"
says MI. Cochran. "He referred to it
as a site for his colony. The plan is
to break the tract into small farms,
to be settled upon by Mormon COL
onists from Utah and elsewhere. AL
though the deal for the ranch has
been closed and the money paid, the
Mormons are not expected to take pos
session until late this fall or early
next year. Mormons are plentiful in
the Alberta country, fully 5000 being
located in the rapidly settling coun-
try. These are sturdy people and
make a success of farming. l believe
it is President Smiths intention to
give each family a tract, holding gen.
eral supervision in the church trus-
tees"

REMARKABLE SUICIDE.

Woman Living Near Portland, Ore,
Seeks Death In the Flames.
Portland, Ore, April 5.-After build
ing a bonfire of magazines and papers
in the cababge patch near her home,
between midnight and daylight today,
Mrs. Charles Hemmers saturated her
clothes with kerosene oil and, ignit-
ing them from the fire, deliberately
burned to death.
Mrs. Hemmers was the aged wife
of a farmer living at Orient, a small
place lying a few miles east of this
city. AS her husband was about to
retire Saturday, Mrs. Hemmers said
she wished to read a while longer.
When Mr.. Hemmers arose today he
found that his wife was not in her
room, and suposing that she had got
ten up before him, the old man went
out to his cabbage patch to do some
work before breakfast. There he
found the wife's charred body lying
in the ashes of the fire which she had
built.
Judging from the surroundings, the
woman, after her husband went to
bed, made repeated trips to the place,
carrying the papers and magazines;
it apepars that she then saturated
herself with the kerosene, and bending
yer the pile of papers ignited it, and
allowed the flames to envelop her
body.
Mrs. Hemmers made a previous at
tempt to kill herself a few years ago
in the Sutro baths at San Francisco,
CAL, after having been deserted by a
former husband. Ever since that ev-
ent she is said to have been a suffer
er from melancholia.

Jim Wardner is Dead.

Milwaukee,, March 3O.-James F.
Wardner, widely known as a mining
p%rospector and promoter of gigantic
enterprises, who during his life time
had made and lost fortunes, is dead
at FL Paso, Texas.
Wardner's life was spent in jour-

his wanderings even taking him in
to the diamond fields Of South Afri-
ca. He was connected with large
mining deals from the Klondike to the
Isthmus of Panama, had lost at least
four fortunes and at the time of his
death was the owner of a quicksilver
mine in Mexico. He served during

raising in California and gold mining
in Arizona, returning to Milwaukee
with $4,000 and the intention of set
ting down to some quiet business,
but he lost the $4,000 in speculation.
Among his celebrated schemes in
which his ingenuity displayed itself
was 1.-THE National Candy Bank" op-
Grated in st. Louis, and "The Consol'
