CLEVELAND AS A FISHERMAN.
Though He Made Pleasure Of Busi-
ness, Business Was Pleasure.

Richard Watson Glider. in the Century.
Perhaps l can give no better descrip-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland as a fisherman
than in the language of brief speech
at the neighborly dinner given to the eX
President at Sandwich on the 18th of
May, 1895, soon after he had become a
summer resident of the Cape, when I
Said:
If Mr. Cleveland has made a memo
rable success of his life, is it not owing to
the fact that he has both made plea sure
of business and a business Of pleasure?
His cheerful and indefatigable work in
Office is we'll known. His Cape Cod neigh
bors have discovered that he has made
a business of pleasure-not a wearing,
laborious business, but cheerful, con-
tented and persistent business. when

Girls Of Twelve and Fourteen Years
Have Cav Round.

NEW YORK, August 4.-The two
daughters of President Gomez of Cuba
last night viewed the. whirligig of fun at
Coney Island.
Narcisa Gomez twelve years old, devot-
ed much of her energies to munchng
frankfurters, but her sister Marina, aged
fourteen, would take only one. After
consuming three Narcisa called for more
but they were denied her.
Several days ago the daughters wrote
asking permission of their father to visit
Coney President Gomez cabled Fred
Thompson of Luna Park asking If he
would care for the girls. Mr.. Thompson
replied favorably.
Everything from shoot the chutes' to
the shooting galleries was patronized by
the girls At 10 o'clock an effort was
made to have them return to the city, but
they insisted seeing the Bowery at
Coney Island. They were pleased most
by the shouting of the "barkers."
In the party with the Gomez girls were
NJ. Rocafort. consul general OF Cuba in
New York. and his wife: the Misses Maria
and Justina Monteagudo. daughters of
the chief of the Cuban royal guard; Will
liam H. Monteagudo, his son: DR.. Blof
Rocafort, son of the consul general, and
DR.. Jose C. Obregon of Cuba.
The daughters of President Gomez ar
rived here ten days ago. They will at
tend school in New York this winter. A
brother, now in Europe. will attend An
napolis in the autumn.

Advice to Stenographers.
From the Bcokkeepcr.


Every young person should be taught
that Success in life is a matter not SO
much of talent or opportunity as Of con-
centration and perseverance" a motto
that Miss Blanks career illustrates per-
fectly. Those envious girls who would
fain follow in her footsteps do not know
of the long hours she worked those first
years, when, though her wage was barely
a living one, she sighted not the least de-
tail of her work. doing all that was put
before her to the best of her ability.
whether 1t was filling an ink bottle or
taking a letter from the president Of the
concern. Neither can they know OF the
grim determination that possessed her be-
fore she even took her training. deter
mination that. whatever happened, she
would succeed, and, combining with her
strong will an alert and accurate mind, 1t
did not take Miss Blank long to make
herself valuable to those by whom she
was employed. And even now, when she
is not obliged to arrive at her once until
10 o'clock in the morning and Is supposed
to leave at in the afternoon. there are
DAYS when she is at the desk as early as
o'clock and stays on until late IN the
evening, taking no time to eat and think
ing only of Mr.. Millionaire's interests.
once heard some young girls who were ac-
uuainted slightly with Miss Blank speak
OF this popularity of hers as an indication
of imbecility, because. as one OF them
said: .'There is no sense in her doing 30.
for Mr. Millionaire could not get along
without her, and he would think just as
much of her and pay her just as well II
she went home at the usual time every
day" And yet this young girl complains
bitterly because her employer does not
raise her salary.

PsYcHo-PHYs1cAL CULTURE.
Theme of Informal Talk by Mrs.
Mary Gale Davis.

An informal talk OH psycho-physical
culture, or rhythm. as applied to natural
development, was given last evening by
Mrs. Mary Gale Davis. Her auditors
were mothers from the neighborhood of
the Rosedale playground. The meeting
was arranged by Mrs. C. T. Stewart, who
is in charge of the work among the
girls at the Rosedale play ground. The
aim of the playground is to cultivate
the community spirit and last evening S
meeting showed that the aim had be-
come a reality.
Mrs Davis was followed by Miss 1sa-
belle Strong, superintendent of the Visit
ing Nurses Association. She spoke on
the bathing and dressing of babies.
Miss Strong made the significant state
ment that last year. in Washington, one
infant in every seven died. To check
infant mortality is the cause to which
she and her colleagues have committed
themselves. In conclusion she spoke
briefly on the child's nourishment, re-
minding her hearers that Noel House
and Neighborhood House both dispense,
free of cost, milk for babies.
