Grover Cleveland.

The announcement that ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland's health is
rapidly failing and that he may not
live many weeks is received with
genuine sorrow by every citizen OF
the United States, who has learned
to appreciate the man.
1t is true that during and after
his administration, and, especially
when the country was precipitated
into a state of business stagnation
and untold hardships, censure was
heaped upon him on account OF poll
cies accredited to him. Naturally,
he was charged up with the times
then, being at the head Of the ad-
ministration in power, but, as years
passed and his course became more
clearly understood the blame for
such hard times was laid at the door
of the Democratic party where 1t
rightly belonged The people even
then had some confidence in Cleve-
land but none in the Democratic
party back Of him.
Later years have shown the real
man, and none will deny that he has
been one of the foremost thinkers
and publicists in the country. The
people are impressed with his siHc
cerity of purpose. They know now
that he is unyielding in his convic-
lions because he sincerely believes in
them, and in this last respect there
is some comparison between him and
Roosevelt, though the latter is far
closer and more popular with the
masses. as Mr.. Cleveland has been
to a considerable extent identified
with large but exclusive interests,
distinct from the masses, but, into
these identifcations and associations,
he has largely brought the demo-
cratic idea as against autocracy, and
once he went so far In his conserva-
tism as to be called the safe and
sane" leader of his party.
The American people admire him
for his sincerity, his integrity and
his patriotism, though even thou
sands in his own party have not en-
tirely banished the thought that it
was he who brought the great panic.
when in fact it was their party It
self. and many Republicans admire
him because he has stood out cour-
ageously against the evils Bryan
would even yet like to bring 10 the
country.

BAD SYMPTOMS FOR
 AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
THE AGED RULER IS THREAI- FINED WITH HEART TROUBLE, AND IMPROVEMENT IN CONDl- TON CANNOT BE NOTED.

Vienna, October I9-Reports tonight concerning the Emperor's condition were unfavorable. There are symptoms of angina pectoris, and his majesty shows much apathy. weakness and depression.
 The Emperor received his old spiritual director. Bishop Laurence Mayer, three times during the course of the day and made confession. Emperor Francis Jo- senh has now been i'll nearly three weeks, and while he has made some improve ment his condition is not satisfactory. There is still a certain amount of dis quietude regarding the ultimate outcome
 The catatrh is not diminishing, and the strength of the patient has been reduced because of lack of nourishment and sleep. This disease itself, however is not caus- ing any actual uneasiness, the main reas- on for soieitude being found in the gen- eral condition of the aged monarch. Up 10 the present time the Emperor has worn military uniform, but on the ad- vice of his physicians he is now clad in a blouse which covers his chest con- petely.
 On his head he wears a fatigue cap, such as was the fashion in the Austrian army several decades ago. After the reg uIar examination thls evening, the doctors declared the condition of the patient to be relatively satisfactory.

English Lightweight Puts Out Oppo
 nent Easily.

Philadelphia, October 19-Before the National Athletic club Owen Mo ran, the 12O-pound champion of Eng land, defeated Tommy O'Toole in this city in three rounds of hard fighting. Moran was hissed a number of times for dirty work and was warned re- peatedly by the referee for heeling OToole He proved himself a game, tough fighter, however, and had the better of it nearly all the way.
 Tn the second round he dropped OToole for the count of nine. He went at his man from the sound of the gong. He opened the battle with a hard right on Tommy's jaw, following it up with two hard swings to the body. O'Toole evened up slightly in the third and made fair showing in the fourth, but was never able to hold his own with the Englishman. In the final Moran went at his man with a rush, landing heavily on the face and body. They exchanged swings. and O'Toole managed to cross hard right to the jaw. He then jabbed Moran a light left to the face. which was net by a

IMMENSE CAPITAL INVOLVED.
Meat and Meat Products Form Basis
 of Huge Industry.

Washington, October 19.-A capital of SIC, ,625, ,OOO0 0OO is directly concerned in the raising of meat animals and their saughtering and packing, according to a report on meat supply, issued by the department of agriculture. This amount is five-sixths as large as all capital in vested in manufacturing in 1904 Seven eghts of the meat and meat products is consumed within this country. The stock of meat animals has increased pace with the increase in population The reports assert that the welfare of the raisers of meat animals and of the saughterers and packers Is dependent upon finding foreign markets for the surplus of the production of meat above the home consumption.
 There was total of 93502 600 meat animals slaughtered and exported in 1900 while the exported live animals num- bered 276000
 The dressed weight of the 93,502,000 meat animals constituting the meat supply of 1900. was 16,5i9. 921 900 pounds, of whlcn 1i116, SS6 GOO pounds entered into domestic consumption, lard being included with the dressed weight of pork.

The kaiser's Gallantry.

From illustrated Bits.
 The German Emperor, despite his aus terity. can be all that is courteous, even to Germans, when they are pretty women. Last autumn, when he was shooting Tn the country, he met the pretty young bride of a country squire, and was so much struck with her that he invited him. self to tea on the following day. The Kaiser duly paid his visit to the young couple, and while he was talking to his hostess. the servant brought him a cup of hot soup. He was paying more atten- ton to the bride than to the food. and for the moment he thought that he was being served with tea in the English fashion, so he sent the servant for some sugar and cream. Both the hostess and the servant were much too nervous to warn him. and the Kaiser put both sugar and cream into his soup. stirred it up brisllly and began to drink. The very first taste told him what he had done. but the anguish of the bride was so evi- dent that, with almost superhuman gal lantry, he never blinked an eyelid, but swallowed the mixture as if 1t had been his usual way of taking soup.
