CLEVELAND D|DN' I
WRITE THAT
BRYAN LETTER
S. S. HASTINGS. EXECUTOR OF
LATE PRESIDENTS ESTATE,
SHOWS WHY HE DOESN'T BE-
LlsvE THE MIssIvE GENUINE

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-The Times
publishes letter from s. S. Hastings
executor of the estate OF the late
Grover Cleveland, in which the writer
questions the authenticity of a polit
ical article purporting TO have been
prepared and signed by the former
president. and which was published by
the Times after his death.
The article In question, which the
Times explains IL had purchased oil
magazine writer made Mr. Cleve
land compare Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan
as presidential candidates TO the dis
advantage of the latter.
The publication Of the article over
Mr.. Cleveland's signature caused wide
comment and not little discussion
as to its authenticity. Mrs. Cleve
land at the time was quoted as say
ing:
Il do not believe IL is genuine"
The Times also publishes more let
ters from the man from whom the
article was purchased and earlier com
munications from Mr. Hastings. In
which the publishers were assured OF
Ol tHt IndttCI az
tributed to Mr.. Cleveland.
In his letter to the Times, Mr.. Hast
ings says In part:
Since our interview OF Sept. 20
there has come to my knowledge evi
dence which leave in my mind no
doubt OF the fact that the said article
was not written or signed by Grover
Cleveland, and therefore Is, In my
opinion, no longer entitled to credit
| as his production. Mrs. Cleveland. in
my Judgment, was right regarding 4,
when she positively declared to us
since Its publication, don't believe 4,
Is genuine"
The genuineness of the letter was
questioned upon two scores. % The
style of expression, which was pro
nounced an awkward imitation. and
(2) the sentiments of the production
which 1t was insisted Mr.. Cleveland
could not have entertained.

ADDING MACHINES
AS VOTE COUNTERS
ELECTION RETURNS HANDLED
WITH SPEED AND ACCURACY
WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE. d,

The utility OF the adding machine
was admirably demonstrated in the
tabulation Of the votes cast at the
recent primaries. Two Burroughs
were in almost constant use
In The Times editorial rooms while the
count was on, and, as result, the pa
per was able to supply its readers
with prompt and accurate information
as to the progress OF the various city
and county contests. Az time and
accuracy are more essential than all
else In such an undertaking. the value
OF the adding machine can be readily
appreciated. Columns of figures that
would keep an expert mathematician
engrossed for hours were disposed OF
in few minutes by the machines, and
by keeping up with the count new
totals could be taken at a moments
notice.

A VINDICTIVE REPTILE.
Ways Of the Venomous Fer-de-lance

Ways Of the Venomous Fer-de-Iance
of Martinique.
The fer-de-lance is found on the is
lands of Martinique and Santa Lucia,
where the natives counteract its virus
with Il decoction of jungle hemlock,
and the basis of its grewsome reputa-
tion seems to be the fact that it does
not warn the intruders of it's haunts
after the manner of the cobra or the
rattlesnake, but fiattens it's coils and.
with slightly vibrating tail. awaits
events
If the unsuspecting traveller should
show no sign of hostile intent he may
be allowed to pass unharmed within
two yards of the coiled matadore. but
a closer approach is apt to be construed
as Il challenge, and the vivoron. sud-
denly rearing its ugly head. may scare
the trespasser into some motion of self
defense. He may lift his foot or brand
ish his stick in menacing manner. If
he does. he is lost. The lower coils
will expand, bringing the business end,
neck and all a few feet nearer; the
head points like leveled rife, then
darts forward with electric swiftness,
guided by an unerring instinct for the
selection of the least protected parts of
the body.
And the vindictive brute is ready to
repeat its bite. For moment it rears
back. trembling with excitement, and
if felled by blow of its victims stick
will snap away savagely at stumps
and stones or even. like wounded
panther, at its own body.

Chinese Parental Authority.

A remarkable event occurred at
Tsingkiangpu. A man by the name of
King had a son who made his father
and mother "lose face" because of the
wild. rakish life he led. He gapbled,
loafed. smoked opium, etc. If he stole,
his father would be taken to the va
men, and the whole family would suf-
fer for the sons villainy, and the vital
question was. How could the family
be protected? At last they arrived at
the conclusion that the only way to
protect the father and mother was to
take extreme measures with the son.
which they did with a vengeance The
father and uncle took him out among
the graves, followed by crowd of
curious neighbors and friends, and.
putting rope around his neck, each
relative pulled on an end, and the son
was put beyond running the family in
this world.-North China Herald

A BRIDGE of Coffins,

When the British forces were march
ing to Pekin in 1860, after the capture
Of the Taku forts, one Of the rivers be-
came so swollen with the heavy rains
that it was rendered almost impassa-
BILE. While in this quandary bright
idea suddenly struck one of our Off
GERS. Being well aware that the Chi
nese generally order their coffins years
in advance and keep them on the
premises and also that they are per-
fectly air tight. he consulted with his
brother officers, with the result that
orders were given to search all the
houses Of the village and collect every
coffin. With the aid Of few empty
casks the soldiers. constructed pom
toon bridge Of coffins sufficiently
strong to bear the artillery, and the
river was thus passed in safety-Lon-

How Do You LAUGH?

Laughter varies greatly. In the right
kind there is something contagious,
even if oneself be the cause of it. 1t is
the product of good humor; there is
nothing concealed behind it. Frank,
spontaneous and whole souled. it has a
beneficial effect both on the laugher
and his hearers.
But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. Of these the sneering laugh is the
most familiar. Then there is the quiet
iaugh-a sibilant. secretive sort of
thing, which is almost invariably q
sign of mischief. Another laugh, dis
agreeable to hear, is high pitched and
nervous sounding. 1t is the outcome Of
embarrassment or merely a vocal hab-
it.
Perhaps the worst laugh of all is the
mirthless sound occasioned by the dis
tress or embarrassment of others. and
it invariably wounds most the butt Of
it. A person who has been thus laugh
ed at and hurt is never lively to forget
the eXperience.-Liverpo Mercury.

An Odd Post Gard.

The most curious post card ever pro-
duced, according to leading philate-
list, was one which the japanese gov
ernment put out in 1873.
In describing he says 1t is really q
sheet Of paper folded so as to form
four pages Of narrow book. On the
front page Is border inclosing an i'm
pressed stamp for the postage rate and
q space for the address. On the sec
ond page are printed in native charac-
tiers only minute directions for use. On
the third page are ruled a number Of
vertical lines, between which the send
er was to write his communication and
the fourth page was blank" They
remained In use until 1876.
