DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION SONG
By Alexander Geddes.

We want man for President
We want a man that's true
The same to all his countrymen,
And no other kind shall do.
We want man to right "The Trust"
A real American Son.
To guide our Country In the jusS,
Like immortal Washington.
Our men are just as true today!
This Convention knows them too,
And when our delegates commence,
They'll pitch right in to do.
We want a man like Jefferson,
As plain as he can be.
The same to rich and poor alike;
And a lover of Liberty.
It's either Wilson or Champ Clark
It's Harmon or Underwood,
But when the Band begins to play,
That Voting will BE- good.

CLEVELAND BABY WAS 4 i.
HELP TO MARK TWAIN

Clemens was in good standing at
Washington during the Cleveland ad.
ministration, and many letters came,
asking him to use his influence with
the President to obtain this or that
favor. He always declined, though
once-a few years later, in Europe
when ne learned that Frank Mason.
consul general at Frankfort, was
about to be displaced: Clemens, of
his own accord, wrote to baby Ruth
Cleveland about it: 49,. H.
my Dear Ruth belong to the
MHgwuInps, and one of the most sa-
cred rules in our order prevents us
from asking fayors of officials or rec
ommending men to office; but there
is no harm in writing a friendly let

fernal outrage is about TO be CON-
mitted by your father in turning out
Of Office the best consul i knew tand

He went on to recall Masonis high
and honorable record, suggesting that
Miss Ruth take the matter into her
own hands Then he said: =
Il cant send any message to the
President, but the next time you have
a talk with him concerning such mat
tiers I wish you would tell him about
Captain Mason and what think of a
government that so treats its efficient
off1cials." %f% ~.
Just what form of appeal the small
agent made is not recorded but by
and by Mark Twain received tiny
envelope, postmarked Washington, in
closing this note in President aCleve-
lands handwriting: ... .
Miss Ruth Cleveland begs to &C
knowledge the receipt of Mr.. Twain's
letter and says that she took the lib
erty of reading it to the President,
who desires her to thank Mr. Twain
for her Information, and to say that
Captain Mason will not be disturbed
IN the Frankfort consulate The
President also desires Miss Cleveland
to say that IL Mr. Twain knows OF
any other cases of this kind he will
be greatly obliged if he will write him
concerning them at his earliest conve-
nienee. --....':s
Clemens immensely admired Grover
Cleveland, also his young wife, and
his visits to Washington were not in 1
frequent Mrs. Clemens was not al
ways able to accompany him, and he
has told us how once (itwas his first
visit after the Presidents marTiagel
she put little note in the pocket of
his evening waistcoat, which he would
be sure to find when dressing, warn
ing him about his department. Being
presented to Mrs. Cleveland, he hand
ed her card on which he had writ
ten HE didn't" and asked her to sign
her name below those words. Mrs.
Cleveland protested that she couldn't
sign it unless she knew what it was
he hadn't done; but he insisted, and
she promised to sign it if he would
tell ner. immediately afterward> all
about it. She signed, and he handed /
her Mrs. Clemens note, which was
very brief 1t said:
Don't wear your arctics in the
White House."
Mrs. Cleveland summoned a mes.
senger and had the card she had sign
ed mailed at once to Mrs. Clemens at

MAY Be mrs. GREEVER
Body Found on Shore Near
Fort Hunt Thought to Be
Missing Woman.

Private J. L. Austin, 47th Company
Coast Artillery, found a body about
o'clock this afternoon on the shore OF
the Potomac river at Fort Hunt. which
has been almost positively identified as
that of Mrs. Roberta Greever, wife OF
Rev. w. H. Greever of Columbia, S. c.
Mrs. Greever came to Washington sew
eral months ago for medical treatment,
and while walking near 11th and F
streets with a nurse Saturday, Febru-
ary II. disappeared in the throng of
pedestrians.
Mrs. Greever has not since been seen
although her husband and the police con-
Quoted diligent search for her.
The body was found by Private Austin
just south of the long wharf at Fort
Hunt. 1t evidently was washed ashore
last night and is undoubtedly the body
which was seen by Capt. Jansen of the
government tug Indian yesterday even
ing, for which the local police boat,
Vigilant, had been searching today.
Coroner Broder Of Fairfax county, was
summoned. Complete identification is eX-
pected from an inscription on ring
when the coroner authorizes it's removal
from a finger of the deceased.

QUIET AT NEW YORK MILLS.
National Guardsmen Preserve Order
Among Textile Workers.

UTICA. N. Y. April 5.-Under military
domination quiet prevailed last night and
today at New York mills, where there
was some disorder Wednesday night
among the striking textile workers. Ma
tional guardsmen dispense crowds thai
assemble in the vicinity Of the mills, but
find the most resistance comes from
women. Pickets are maintained by the
strikers. but there has been no attempt
to get in new workmen, and It is said
there will not be at the present time.
The two local companies of the National
Guard were ordered out for strike duty
at New York mills and Yorkville yester-
day, following serious clashes between
deputy sheriffs and the textile strikers.
The Suardsmen were called for by the
sheriff, who was not satisfied that his
force of forty men could guard the prop
erty of the New York Mills Company in
the two villages. which are only a short
distance from Utica. Several Polish
women attacked the deputies while they
We're guarding several of the mill fore
men en- route to work.
The women, it is charged, threw red
pepper into the eyes of the officers and
a number Of them We're arrested. The
sheriff then ordered all saloons closed
and called for the troops.
