Ex-president Cleveland, who en-
joys the distinction of being the
only living ex-president of this re-
public, was made happy last Tuesday
by the presentation to him of a
silver loving cup from the students
of Princeton university, in honor of
his SEVENTEEN birthday. The re-
cipient was greatly pleased with the
testimonial, and gracefully testified

The committee appointed to in

and the revenue derived therefrom
of which Mr.. Bendixen of this coun-

Auditor Iverson to submit a report
on the revenues derived from the

making. 1t is understood that hun

moved annually for this purpose,
and the committee wants to be salts

TWENTIETH CENTURY WITCHCRAFT.

Not all the crazy people in Nicol-
let county are in the insane hospital
at st. Peter. A telegram to the
dailies tells of a recent trial in JUS
tice court at St. Peter, a Miss Peter
son being charged with assault upon
her neighbor, Mrs. Norlin, whom
she charges with bewitching the en-
tire Peterson household, including
the cows and chickens, the cows go
ing dry and the chickens dying off.
Miss Peterson limited that one murky
night she had caught a glimpse of
the sorceress in flight astride a
broom.
One Saturday afternoon the bars
in the Peterson pasture unaccount-
ably came down and several horses
went astray. They were not found
for several hours and the incident
was Immediately recognized as an.
other spell laid upon them by
Mrs. Norlin. While the search for
the horses was in progress the
suspected authoress of all their an
noyances drove past the farm and
Miss Peterson and a married sister
ran out to intercept her. Stopping
her team they pulled her to the
ground and pummeled her unmerci-
fully, and last Tuesday she swore
out warrant charging the Peterson
girl with assault.
On the strength of the girl story,
Salem judge would have sent Mrs.
Norlin to the stocks, possibly to the
stake, but for some reason it failed
to impress the ST. Peter magistrate,
and when Miss Peterson admitted
using force he laconically remarked:
Sixteen dollars, or sixteen days."
The defendant chose Imprisonment.
AllIthe time the girl was being
examined, her brother. Christian
Peterson. sat at her side. Scarcely
had the attorney begun to- speak
when he interrupted by saying that
the feud could not end until Mrs.
Norlin had promised to leave the
neighborhood, and when he threat
ened to do her bodily harm if she
did not depart, there was trouble
for Christian. In a tWinkling a sec
ond warrant was issued for his ar

Spokane's way of celebrating ar
Dor day is worthy of imitation by
less pretentious towns. Spokane
calls it arbor and cleaning day, and
plans that this year twenty-five to
thirty thousand men and women
and ten thousand children will de-
vote eight hours to making Spokane
shine like a new tin pan. A thou
sand teams and vehicles will be
pressed into the service to haul
away the refuse. Redwood Falls
would not require so large a force,
but a concerted attack of this kind
would insure the removal of some
blots on the fair features of our
pretty little city, especially those on
vacant lots of non-residents. Why
not try the plan?

UNDENIABLE TRUTHS.

4
The following from a speech by
Grover Cleveland upon the occasion
of his SEVENTEEN birthday anniver-
sary on Monday last is worthy of
reproduction for the logic it con-
! tains:
II look with apprehension upon
the wealth and mad rush of Ameri-
can lie, which is certain to impair
the mental and physical vigor neces-
sary to every human being.
The wholesome sentiments which
spring from country life are being
overwhelmed by the ambitions and
tendencies that flow out from our
great cities. Few have the hardi-
hood to withstand the swirl and
rush of city life, or to remain in
different to the promises of sudden
wealth and the excitement of specu-
lation in metropolis, where i'm
mense fortunes are made and lost in
a single day.
Il believe that we must set our
selves against the fallacy that city
life is the easier and the most pro-
ductive of happiness.
I'VE are proud of our cities of
course. But we must not allow
them wholly to shape our ideals and
our ambitions, Nothing that the
wealth of city can buy will atone
for the loss of that American sturdi-
ness and independence which the
farm and the small town have so
frequently produced
In my experience | have found
that impressions which man re-
ceives who walks by the brookside
or in the forest or by the seashore
make him better man and better
citizen. They lift him above the
worries of business and teach him of
a power greater than human power.
st is unquestionabiy true that
nearness to nature has an elevating
influence upon heart and character.
Nature is a school of all the harder
virtues. What, for instance, can
impart a more effective lesson in
patience than days fishing for the
whimsical black bass?
eve need more of those old
fashioned, conscientious folk who
adhere to the simple way of living
and who believe that every fortune
should be earned honestly and fairly
by the man who gets it.
"The history of our country shows
that the citizen who lives close to
the soil and to the influences Of
nature is far more apt to shape his
own political convictions, instead of
being a mere obedient fraction Of
the political machine. He is certain
to be more self-reliant and more
stubborn in holding fast to his own
idea of what is right

The fact that men do sometimes
resign a state job is now in evidence
by the resignation of J. H. Ryan,
state hotel Inspector. Ryan's office
was put on fee basis, but he says
that the fees from annual inspec-
lions of hotels did not cover his
travelling expenses, and that he used
part of his private means to make
up the discrepancy. There is a bill
before the legislature to place the
office on a salary basis, but little
interest has been shown in it so far.

STRIKE IS MENAo1NG HEALTH.

 Very SeriOuS

New York. June 29.-Under a strong police guard the first systematic ac- tion for the cleaning of the citys streets since the strike of the depart ment of street cleaning drivers was Instituted, was begun today. Progress was slow, however, the health depart ment, which now has charge of the work, having much difficulty in hiring men to take the places of strikers.
 Crowds of strikers gathered at many points and bombarded the new men with sticks and stones and in some cases went so far as to pull the drivers from their seats on the wagons.
 George Burdick one of fourteen drivers who started out. was attacked by a gang of fifty strikers at 11Stf Street and Pleasant Avenue After being the target for clubs and stones he was pulled from his seat and rough ly handled before he could be rescued by the police
 The conditions in some of the side streets, particularly in the upper East Side. are regarded as extremely seri- ous. Great heaps ol refuse which have accumulated since the strike began are piled up along the curbs. a menace to the health of thousands in the crowded sections. So great had the quantity of rubbish become in some places today that householders built bonfires in the streets to consume the garbage.

There are few Alabama homes so favored in location. The creek valley from which high and precipitous hills rise is itself of great natural beauty |. A winding road, twisting up through the leafy shades of the tree covered hill leads from Prattville to the archi- tect's work of art on the hillside.
 The house itself was nearly two years in the building. It partakes of the colonial in architecture and the interior furnishings are exceptionally hand some. The interior is fitted up in white and mahogany. The knobs of the doors on this floor are of cut glass. The beauty of the exterior and interior alike appeal to all who appreciate the beautiful.
 The opening of the home was the occasion of one of the most delightful house parties given in Alabama. The house party was by Misses Annie Mae and Emmie Lou Thomas, sisters of MT. Thomas for their friend Miss Ariadne

 A delightful week was spent at the new home. Exceptional facilities for the enjoyment of young people were afforded in the driving and horseback riding, offered by the fine stock farm of MT. Thomas and the lake at the creek gave its own pleasure in the splendid boating facilities.

The accompanying picture represents the beautiful home of MT. andMIfS. C.. s. Thomas near Prattville. It is one of the handsomest homes in Alabama, either in t-4e city or in the country.
 This home is situated on a beautiful ly wooded hill, overlooking Prattville and the Valley of Augusta Creek The site of the home was for more than half a century occu. jed by the Merrill E.. Pratt home, itself a comfortable and handsome type of a Southern place. Mrs. Thomas was a daughter of MT. Pratt who was the brother of the fam ous founder of the great gin manu- featuring industry of the South.
 Some two years ago the work of tearing away the old home was begun. Plans were adopted for the building of one or the most artistic houses within the State and these plans werer fol- lowed with careful conscientious atten- tion to detail. The result is the ad- miration of all who Lave seen 1t.

Police Commissioner Bingham is nothing if not energetic and original in his effort to improve the police ser vice of New York. A week or two ago he issued to the public a neat little pamphlet entitled Blue Book for Citizens" rule three of which reads as follows: 'In case of complaint write directly to the Police Commissioner and mark the envelope Personal One warm day last week when the ten-cent fare to Coney Island was proving a distracting problem. the following communication reached Headquarters from "a citizen" who evidently takes his advice literally: T beg to inform you that the vilest den in New York is run at ASA West Thirty seventh Street. Disorderly persons of both sexes resort to 1t at all hours of the day and night. This infamous den should be broken up" Instantly there was excitement at Headquarters and visions of another shakeup. Forth with the communication was dispatched to Captain Steve O'Brien, to whom has been assigned the task of holding down the lid of the Tenderloin during the dull summer season, with the informa- tion that if Captain O'Brien had not enough men to close up this resort, the Commissioner would furnish all that were needed. By return messenger came the following report from Captain OBrien: The building 434 West Thirty seventh Street, I most respect fully report, is the police station house of which I am commander. Respect fully, stephen OBrien.' The citizen who had the courage to perpetrate so mean a joke on the Commissioner has not yet been discovered, but in the Tenderloin station at least he is re- garded as worthy of a medal
