terbox when they weren't On the occa-
sion in question he was seen at the Demo-
cratic Club house on Fifth avenue at about
o'clock on the eve of the election. All
he was asked to do was to make a forecast
He made one, the only one he had in

very full and rambling forecast.
When he finished he said that he would

this and sent up the finished story about

At 11.30 the article was given back and
I carried it to the editor in mood Of
silent rage. However, it was beat"

chief. and that must serve as consolation
for lost time
And next day every paper in the city
came out with exactly the same article.

friendly enough.
Reporters OF New York city papers at
the time Grover Cleveland on completing
his term as President came to New York
to live will remember how almost impos-
sible it was to interview him. They will
remember also that the city editors of these
papers were in the habit of giving out
assignments on every conceivable subject
with the remark:
See what Grover Cleveland has to say
about this"
Just as simple as that. And it was the
ex-Presidents habit to stare rudely at his
observation-disclosures a questioner got at
him. which was rarely-and refuse to say
a word. This sphnxlike silence protected
him; nobody dared quote when not single
word had been vouchsafed.

Sir Henry looked the part to perfection
but there was no making anything OF the
play by any degree OF genius because It
was melodramatic farrago. I went to
my Office at midnight and killed my beau

ing the play was rotten"
That brought about my interview with
Sir Henry without my solicitation.
MISS Laura burt, talented American
who carried the most melodramatic role
in the piece. happened to be present when
Irving read aloud in tone OF cold disgust
this ribald critique, and glancing at the
paper she said:

Mansfield had not spoken to her, not in

Too Much Cleveland.

The Grover Cleveland INTERVIEW of
those days became joke and foisted it's
name on any interview which proved un-
fruitful. Therefore was never more sur

arisen. my city editor gave me instruc-
tons to go to Mr.. Cleveland, at his home in
Princeton, for his views about it. l went,
Of course. but thought of the trip as
simple days outing.
To my surprise, Mr.. Cleveland received
me affably in the quaint. delightful Colo
NAL house in Princeton which he had
bought as home for his family. For but
few minutes the ex-President left his
caller to stare at the portrait of Mrs Cleve-
land. which was the chief ornament of the
parlor. real parlor. and then he walked
in and asked the purpose of the visit.
Mr. Cleveland listened in silence and
then said:

At length, when the sun dial had quit

My interview with President Harrison
turned out to be a failure. although it was
undertaken at my own suggestion at a
time when matters were quiet and be-
cause had had the honor of peeting him
and his family in indianapolis and had
danced once or twice with his daughter,
Mrs Mckee. These circumstances may
have helped to open the door of the White
House for me but they did not melt the
Presidential ice when got inside.
How different was the wholesome and
homely chat 1 once had with the veteran
author William d. Howells. the memory
OF it coming up right here because. as IT
seemed to me, there were physical re-
semblances between him and Mr.. Harrison.
The novelist was living at the Gainesbor-
ough studios on West Fifty-ninth street
and fix the time by the book which he
autographed and gave me. It was "A
Boys Town" and had just been published.
Mr.. Howells talked about anything that
came into his head: American letters, Italy
when he lived there as Consul, Italy re-
visited. Central Park which he overlooked
from his great studio window, and the in
consistencies OF the menu as it was writ

floor of the building. 1t was all spoken

thing.

writer. but very different spirit, enters
by a natural transition. Although I met
him several times in the charming pied
a-terre he had made for himself out Of a
loft in Fifth avenue. the interview itself
had occurred twenty years before in his
villa in Sorrento, Italy. That villa he had
taken as the setting for one OF his early
novels. ITO Leeward." He was not salts
fed until he had taken me over It to show
the rooms where poignant, passionate
things had happened. and finally to the
cave under the rocks that sprang up rudy

where he kept his sailboat. In this grim
and somber cave. noisy with the rush and
splash Of water. Crawford reacted the
thrilling scene which is the crisis of the
story.
