In 1870, after having formed a law
partnership under the firm name of
Laning, Cleveland & Folsom, he was
elected sheriff of Erie county.
In 1881 Mr.. Cleveland was elected
mayor of Buffalo, then governor of
New York, and finally. in 1884, presi-
dent. In 1888 he was renominated
for the presidency, but was beaten
for reelection by Benjamin Harrison,
whom he defeated in turn in 1892.
He retired from public life at the ex-
piration of his second term, in 1896.
In his first term as president, Mr..
Cleveland married Miss Frances Fol-
som of Buffalo. The wedding was
celebrated in the White House, but
was exceedingly simple, and was at
tended by comparatively few persons,
all of whom were intimate friends.
Five children have been born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland, of whom four
still live. The eldest daughter, Ruth,
who was born in 1891, died in 1904.

In the recent meeting between King
Edward and Emperor Nicholas, at Re-

was agreed that international under
standing with regard to Macedonia,
similar to the Algeciras agreement in
respect to Morocco, was imperative.
The United States will be invited
to join with Russia in dominating the
international conference on the Mac
edonian situation.
1t is believed hat England wishes
to join with Russia in dominating the
Balkans as France dominates Moroc-
co. The admitted misrule Of Turkey
will be urged in favor of the new plan.
1t is certain that Germany will OPP
pose the proposed plan.
The German Empire is none too
friendly to England and Russia, owing
to her belief that the recent meeting
between the rulers Of these nations
had the further isolation of Germany
as one of its subjects.

Hints at Bloody War.

e Ttnts at otoouy war. H
Berlln-Information received here
shows that Turkey will resist
with all her might the plan of
England and Russia to wrest control of
Macedonia from her. Turkey believes
that France will join actively in sup
port of the Anglo-Russia scheme, and
she IS fearful that the influence of
these three will be powerful enough
to win.
An article appearing in the Tagli-
cherundschau, apparently voicing the
sentiments of the Turkish embassy,
hints at a bloody war should the pro-
posed issue be forced upon Turkey.
As a check to the designs of Eng
land and Russia, the Porte proposes a
system of reforms in Macedonia and
the suppression of the warning bands
that have created so much disorder
and distress in that country.

tening To the stories of his prowess,
and little by little Dixon, the great
est featherweight OF his time, was
reduced 10 a mere shadow OF his Cor
mer self.
Born in Nova Scotia on July 90.
1870, little Dixon worked until he
was about 16 years old. He left for
Boston then and his career as a pngil-
list bgan.
He has always been hailed as the
hoy from Boston" and like the great
John l.. Sullivan, was looked upon as
a champion born and raised in Massar
chusetts.
Dixons career in the ring was me
teoric. His first battle was a revela-
ton to the Boston sports and his next
IA battles were fought in that town
without loss attached to his record.
He then moved around the country
and still continued TO win.
Cal McCarty, at that time the great
est featherweight in the country. was
then signed 10 meet Dixon, and one
of the greatest fights in the history OF
pugilism took place. After 20 rounds
of the toughest kind OF milling the
AaHt-STas stopped and declared draw.
After that Dixon went TO London,
where he beat Nunc Wallace in 10
rounds and returned to this country,
beating McCarty in % rounds at Troy,

He went along swimmingly until
Jan. 9. 1900, when he met Terry Nc
Govern in New York and lost his
heart and title in eight rounds.
He was never the same Dixon after
that. He fought, but like most ox-
champions, battled without heart. He
was beaten by Abe Attell, Young Cor
bett and others. He was the stepping
stone for coming champions. His last
battle OF any Importance was the one
with Tommy Murphy, which took
place in Philadelphia, and resulted in
a victory for the Harlem lad in two
rounds. Since that time Dixon has
