MRS GR0VER CLEVELAND
A Widow Who Has a Nations Sym
pathy In Affliction
Mrs Cleveland has the sympathy of
nil American citizens without respect
to party in the loss which she has sus
tained in the death of her distinguish
ed husband She has won the admira
tion of all by her devotion to his wel
fare In his declining years and her ef
forts to make the eventide of ills life a
pleasant and useful period of his ca
reer Since her husbands retirement
to private life she has been absorbed
in the rearing and education of her sons
and daughters and has avoided publici

seem to be a sacrifice for her to de
scend from the position of Grst lady
of the laud into that of an ordinary
wife and mother On the contrary she
has seemed to prefer the quietude of
domestic life to that of mistress of the
White House with all the strain aud
responsibility it involves
Mrs Cleveland has enjoyed the cul
tured atmosphere of the university
town which she and the ex president
made their home after his retirement
from office and the Princeton faculty
and students made much of the late
Mr Cleveland and his family She has
always taken a great deal of interest
in Wells college at Aurora N Y from
which she graduated but a short time
before the event which made her a na
tional figure her marriage to Mr Cleve
land on June 2 1SSG and her entrance
upon her duties as mistress of tho ex
ecutive mansion As Miss Frances Fol
som of Buffalo daughter of Mr Cleve
lands former law partner she was
considered an unusually beautiful girl
and her face retains the sweetness of
old though saddened by the afflictions
of passing years especially the loss of
her daughter Ruth who was born in
the White llouse
TO WIPE OUT INSANITY
The Object of the Princely Gift of
Henry Phipps
It is impossible to estimate the great
amount of good that may in time be
accomplished by the crusade against
insanity started by Henry Phipps in
his donation of 300000 to Johns Hop
kins university for use in a campaign
against this affliction It is planned to
use the gift in studies and experiments

which will vastly increase the amount
of scientific data on this subject and
make it more feasible to prevent cases
of insanity from developing by apply
ing the pioper methods when the dis
ease is in its incipient stages It is
said that Mr Phipps interest in the
problem and his determination to do
something to solve it was caused by
his observation of the Thaw case Be
ing a friend of the Thaw family ho
naturally took the matter to heart
when Harry Thaw committed the act
which resulted in his confinement in
an asylum for the criminal insane
The Pittsburg steel magnate has won
a fame as a philanthropist scaroelj
second even to that of his friend and
business associate Andrew Carnegie
In some respects his money has been
used in such a way as to confer more
immediate and practical benefits than
could usually have come through Mr
Carnegies donations His model tene
ments have started a sort of sociolog
ical revolution They mark a new era
in civic history His benefactions in
many directions have been numerous
Mr Phipps was born in Philadelphia
in 1S0 and began his business career
as an office boy He is credited with
having the largest interest ill the Unit
ed States Steel corporation next to Mr
Carnegie
Just a Fish Story
Forty years ago when my father was
enptain of an East India trading ship
while off the coast of Africa near the
equator the ships carpenter was taken
sick and died He was sewed up In
canvas and with him were sewed his
kit of tools and grindstone for ballast
to sink him Services were held and
the body committed to the sea
Four days later the ships boy fell
overboard and a great shark came up
under the stern and swallowed the boy
before he could be reached
The next day the shark was still fol
lowing the ship A shark hook was
baited and put over the stern and the
shark was caught but was so large It
could not be taken on board and they
were obliged to shoot him He looked
so plump and large the mate who was
an old whaler wanted to go over the
side and cut the fish open He was
lowered over and cut a hole In the
shark and was surprised to hear voices
and on looking in saw the ships boy
turning the grludstone for tho ships
carpenter who was sharpening his
ax to cut their way out
My father who is eighty years old
can voucli for this that it is a fish
story Boston Journal
His Old College Chums
A conductor sent a new brakeman to
put some tramps off the train They
were riding in a box car The brake
man dropped into the car and said
Where are you fellows going To
Atchison Well you cant go to
Atchison on tliis train so get off
You get came the reply and as the
brakeman was looking into the busi
ness end of a gun he took the advice
given him and got He went back to
the caboose and the conductor asked
him if he had put the fellows off
No he answered I did not have
the heart to put them off They want
to go to Atchison and besides they
are old schoolmates of mine The
conductor used some very strong lan
guage and then said he would put
them off himself He went over to the
car and met with the same experience
as the brakeman When he got back to
the caboose the brakeman said Well
did you put them ofT Naw theyre
schoolmates of mine too Wellington

Halevy and the Due de Morny
It may not be generally known in
what circumstances Halevy owed his
advancement in the French civil serv
ice to the Due de Morny The duke an
amateur of the arts had begun to write
the libretto of a comic opera of which
Offenbach was to provide the music
He found that he had not the time or
perhaps that he had not the talent to
finish it He sought a collaborator and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret When therefore the office
of the ministry of Algeria which ho
held was suppressed he had no hesita
tion in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought on the Journal
Officiel The very thing exclaimed
tho duke There is six months vaca
tion when the chamber is not sitting
so that you will have plenty of time
to write for the stage And he gave
him a note to the head of the depart
ment consisting of the simple words
Make arrangements to give the bearer
the post for which he will ask you

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
Recently we have had several callers
from other towns and states who have
visited other libraries erected by tho
Carnegie gifts All have spoken in
words highly commendatory of the Mc
Cook library both its architecture and
and its furnishings as being in excel
lent tast and wholly appropriate for its
special use The book contents too
have been commended as being a worthy
collection for one of its size
Last week two ladies returning home
from a far western trip found it neces
sary to stay over between trains in Mc
Cook They walked up Main street and
stopped in at the library where they
were delighted to find such a pleasant
restful place away from the atmosphere
of the depot waiting room We wish
that more wayfarers might know of
this House by the side of the road
so easily accessible and so well adapted
to beguile the tedium of waiting
The pretty little writing desk always
kept supplied with writing material is
not so much used by the library pat
rons as it might well be
To make the library an institution of
the largest usefulness and an object of
the citys pride is the wish and aim of
those in charge

rent receipt books The Tribune has
