"A Record of Friendship" by Richard
Watson Glider

New York, July 24.-Tn the midsum-
mer holiday number of the Century
magazine there will be begun series
or papers in appreciation of Grover
Cleveland from the viewpoint of an
intimate friend, Richard Watson Gill
der. The title, as shown by the ad-
vance sheets, is self-eXplanatory:
Grover Cleveland, A Record of
Friendship" The record is based on
the "reminiscences and dairy entries
of many delightful days spent in
Washington and New York, in a row.
boat at some secluded fishing place
with statesman whose singular
union Of quiet self-confidence with un-
pretentiousness and even self-depre-
citation it would not be easy to exag-
gerate."
On one occasion Mr.. Cleveland told
how he deplored the general extrava-
gance and called attention to the fact
that men were no longer content with
even $4,000 year. In December
1888, after his defeat by Harrison, he
devoted large part of one conversa-
tion to a review of his four years in
the white house and said that from
the outset he had been obliged to re-
sist appeals to do things for personal
friends.
His tone," writes Mr.. Glider, was
that of a man who had conscientious
ly done his very best, but expecting
that the criticism Of even his suppor-
ters would confuse the record"
Mr.. elders first paper concludes
with the following personal touch:
There was 'childrens hour at
the white house in his second term,
when in the twilight little child
would be brought into the executive
office and the work of the govern
ment would be suspended and much
ink would be lavished while two big
hands would help two small ones in
pictures upon sheets of paper
spread out upon the presidents
desk"

rumor that Mrs. Frank r Brown,
daughter.in.law OF Governor Frank
Brown, had been offered a large
amount. the report being $4,000, as
compromise in her suit against the
governor for alienation OF his sons
affections, was confirmed today by
Mrs. w. M. Michael, the mother of
Mrs. Brown.
She said the time for final accept
ance or refusal of the amount offered
by the governor through his attorneys
is set for Wednesday. Mrs. Michael,
in speaking for her daughter, said that
If any settlement were made with Gov.
ernor Brown it would not interfere
with the suit for divorce, and that her
daughter preferred to accept an ade.
quate cash settlement to one in the
nature of alimony, as, in this case she
would not be brought into contact

Chorus Girls Are Overcome by a
Breath of Real Air.

New York, July 24.-The Isabelle
d'Armand Chapter of the Society for
the Improvement of the Working Con.
ditions Of the Chorus Girls of America
had its first annual outing and airing
yesterday under the auspices of the
Beauty Spot" lodge of the Herald
Square theater. The object of the So
ciety is to see that the chorus girls
get out into the open, away from close
dressing rooms and smoke filled res.
taurants at least once year.
Wherefore Miss d'Armand and Camp.
bell Casade chartered the steamer City
of Worcester yesterday, got all the
, chorus girls one could get together on
short notice and went for trip up
the Hudson. Everybody gathered in
the Herald Square theater at 1870
o'clock and climbed into sight seeing
motor cars and unostentatiously swept
over Thirty-fourth street and down
Fifth avenue singing as they went.
Streamers fluttered from the cars to
tell all and sundry that this was the
Ozone club and if pedestrians failed
to notice who was passing young Miss
Lillian Hazel or Bessie Vanness latter
whom the Vanness mansion in Wash
ington is named) stood up and attract.
ed attention.
The City of Worcester was boarded
at the foot of East Twenty-fourth
street. Hundreds of the proletariat
knew who was present as soon as the
Beauty Spot" chorus arrived. The
orchestra on the forward part of the
upper deck was in the middle of Harry
Williams dainty lyric, "Heinze Pick
led Again." when Isabel (three feet
high and dark complexioned and black
eyed and commanding) tossed herself
aboard and said stop" From that
time on the orchestra never dared play
anything that was not in the score of
the Beauty Spot"
The City of Worcester got back in
time, and, as the girls finished their
days outing, one of them remarked as
she and the others wedged themselves
into the hot dressing rooms of the
Herald Square:
Life is just one darn thing after
another, and at this hour of the night
after being alone all day, one may re.
mark, so be it; for many are called
but few are frozen. So what's the
use?"

quest to President Taft TO veto the
: bill now in conference.
The associations objection to the
bill is made almost wholly upon the
wool schedule. The house made a few
reductions in by.products OF wool.
These the senate has permitted to
stand. But the Dingley rates have not
been touched. 1t is for this reason
that the men in all parts of the coun-
try who deal in clothing are urging
the president to veto the bill.
1--WE are asking a veto of the bill, /"
said f. X. Chambers of Rogers, Peet
& Co, today, because we realize that
by no other means can we so effec-
lively bring home to the people the
urgent necessity for complete re-
versal of the present policy of the gov
ernment toward wool. No other
schedule of the Dingley bill is as COM
plicated as that on WOOL though it's
practical operations are robbing the
American people of millions of dollars
every year.
Until we change from a specific to
an ad valorem tariff, the prices of
clothing will continue to rise. Why,
by the mere dictum of a few gentle
men who control the American Wool
en- company, called the trust, the
prices of all grades of woolen goods
recently have been advanced from 20
to 80 per cent over the prices we paid
this year. or rather, for the goods that
have gone into the clothes we are now
selling. Our national clothing bill an
nually is 600 million dollars. Say that
the average advance we shall have to
pay for the material of which we shall
make clothing next year is 25 per cent,
that will add to the clothing bill the
enormous sum of $50 million dollars"

HARTMAN INSURANCE CHEAPER.
Tn London LIoyds Writing Protective
Policies at a Moderate Rate.


New York, July 24.-It became
known definitely today that a policy
on the life Of E. H. Hartman was
written through member of the Lon
don Stock Exchange, who is a member
of stock and bond house here. The
policy was written by London Lloyds
and is understood to have been for
100000. The rate was 71s quineas
per cent.
The member of the London Stock
Exchange could not allow his name to
be used because of the rules of that
body. He said that the current rate
upon Mr.. Harriman's life was between
712 and 8 guineas per cent, the equiva.
lent of to Sh per cent in American
rating. He declared the writing of
policies on Mr. Harriman's life to be
of daily occurrence in London and
that they were doubtless in the nature

ton in the event of his health failing.
Three months ago the Lloyds rate
quoted in New York was 10 guineas
per cent and in some instances as high
as IL guineas per cent. The favorable
reports upon Mr.. Harriman's health
account for the lower rates quoted at
present. The policies cover every con-
tingency and run for year.

NEW MARVEL UNDER GROUND.
Wondrous Caves of Indian Legend
Found in Arizona,

Denver, July 24.-That mammoth
caves, containing caverns large enough
in which to place city office building,
with natural stone bridges exceeding
| in beauty and grandeur those of Utah
and Virginia, exist in northwestern
Arizona, is officially announced by
Prof. Edgar L. Hewett, director of the
branch of the School of American
Archaeology at Santa Fe, N. M.
Stories of the existence of these
wonderful natural caverns have been
told by Indians of that section for CEN
turies, but they were believed by white
men to be merely legends of the alb
origine.
Professor Hewett, in conducting an
investigation of the records concerning
Spanish occupation and control of the
southwest, made trip to Spain a year
ago, and while there he unearthed
written proof of the story of the In
dians.
Carrying out his determination to
explore the region, Professor Hewett
organized an expedition which started
from Gallup, N. NJ, and, after a seven.
days journey by pack mule, the caves
were reached. Indians guided him to
the spot and conducted him through
the gigantic underground passages.
Professor Hewett, who is in Denver,
gave publicity to the story yesterday.
Professor Hewett will make another
expedition to the caves next spring.
He says he has found many evidences
of race Of cliff dwellers hitherto un.
recorded.

A FIGHTING LOBSTER.
Difficulties In Planting Him on the
Canadian Pacific Coast.

DiHicuities IN Planting Him on the
| Canadian Pacific Coast.
According to Consul General David
| +. WILDER OF Halifax, the Canadian gov.
| ernment Is having lot Of trouble In
| trying to propagate the Nova Scotia
lobster on the Pacific coast The trou.
BILE is due to the pugnacious nature of
the lobster, who, lobster though he is,
insists on fighting at the drop Of the
hat, so to speak.
1t Is an interesting story Consul Gen
eral WILDER tells, and 1t bears no ear
marks Of nature fake. He says a
consignment Of 1000 live Holsters left
Halifax for Vancouver the first week
In May. They were shipped by the
marine and fisheries department for
the purpose Of propagating the lobster
on the Pacific coast. Mr.. WILDER says
an attempt was made last year to ship
Holsters west, but owing to their pug
naclous tendencies they arrived at
their destination in mangled condi.
ton"
1t appears later attempt was made,
plugs being placed between the claws
to prevent disastrous fighting. The
plugs We're not removed when the lob
sters were planted in the Pacific wa
ters, and consequently the second at
tempt also proved failure
In making the third and last ship
ment every precaution has been taken
by the authorities. The several dozen
crates were placed in special baggage
car in charge Of two men. Each crate
is filed with several compartments,
each of which will accommodate one
large lobster. Salt water, ice and sea-
weed were placed in the crates. the
top of each crate being fitted with an
ice pack and percOlating salt water
tank. Where two small Holsters were
packed into one berth they were so
placed that they could not bite each
other.
The lobster industry has never -four
ished on the Pacific as in the Halifax
region, and strong effort is being
made to put 1: on firm foundation.
