Great Worth of Late President
and What He Stood For.

from eX-President Roosevelt. in
which Roosevelt paid a high tribute
To Cleveland, saying in part:

Minnesota, supported the judiciary at

which / knew intimately how he act
ed and the reasons why he acted in
the Venezuelan matter. This knowl-
edge gained at first hand enables me
to bear testimony, which | am more
than glad to bear. to the late presi-
dents earnest purpose to serve the
whole country, and the high courage
with which he encountered every
species of opposition and attack. Ow-
ing TO a peculiar combination of cir
cumstances he went out of office as
sailed even more bitterly by his own
party than by the opposing party,
and shortsighted people thought that
the great mass of American citizens
had repudiated him and disbeleved
in him.
six years later it happened that I!

Mr. Cleveland, then a plain private
citizen, arose to make an address in
the great hall of the exposition; and
no one who was there will ever for
get the extraordinary reception given

mony to the esteem and regard in

directness had sought to do all in his
power to serve their interests

sharon, Pa, March 19.-Notwith-
standing the rigid search made last
night by many officers in western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and west

to this morning of the kidnapers OF
The S-year-old son Of James +. Whit
la, a prominent and wealthy attorney
here. The boy wac taken from
school by two unknown men and a
ransom of $4,000 demanded in a
letter 10 his father.
The latter Immediately complied
with the terms of the letter by in
s,rting an advertisement in the va
rlOus papers that ne is willing 10 pay
the ransom but no word was received
from the kidnapers as to when and
where the money must be- sent The
lads relatives, some of whom are mill
lionairee, are making every possible
effort TO locate tn, child and Frank Ii.

steel man, uncle of the boy today
stated ne would spend 100000 10 re-
cover him.
The mother is prostIat~d at the
Whitla home. She clings pathetically
TO her daughter Salina, 10 years old
and refused to allow her to be taken
from her sight The father refused TO
divulge the contents of the letter re-
ccived from the cXtortionists in its en-
tirety. but intimates that they mact
a terrible threat and fears they may
put il in execution. He says he is
willing to surrender everything he
owns to have the boy restored to him.
1t is believed the lad was drugged
hy his abductors Immediately after
taking him from school and placing
him in d buggy. Accounts Of several
persons alleged TO have seen two men
driving along the road to Warren, o.,
agree the boy was wrapped in blan-
kets and apparently asleep on the lap
Of one of the men.
