( 'iain.J A gentleman who Is Intimately ac-
ijualnled with tlio picsidcnt and his habits
told yourcoiiespondent a stoiy to-day which
tints a new shade on the .situation In lelatlon
to .Mr. Cleveland's appi caching maulage.
Ue. said that the tepott tinm 1'aris about
Miss Folsom denying tlio fact ot the engage
ment has to him aKioatdu.il of truth in it.
The president and Miss Folsom weio never
engaged. Thopie-iident never thought ol
such a thing and when thy story started In
the newspapers he did nol deny It because
he thought \\onlcl die out. Instead of dy
ing out , It glow , until It became too late to
deny. Then 1m began to wonder what he
should do. "Host man" Hlsscll was sent lor ,
and he advised his old Iriend to mairy the
ymuiL' l.uly. Cleveland did not want to
many just then. The Folsonis took it upon
themselves to acknowledge the wedding , unit
to ho consented tiiat if the voting lady would
f > aj " } c , " ho would wed. A cablegram wont
niidei the ocean to the 301111 ; ; lady , but only
an iindcislaiiding was icaehcd and Colonel
Lament lias gone to New Voik especially to
"bieak the news to hci. " If all is conect ,
then the wedding is to take place. The isen-
tleman who tells inethis say he knows it to
belt lie. A dispatch Mom this city In to-day's
New Yolk bun , about white house alfali.s.
has attracted a great deal ol attention and
caused much comment. The dispatch is in
IKIIW leaded type , occupies neatly thico
columiiR und Is evidently intended toreltcet.
"
Its tenor can be judged "tiom tlio headlines
which ate as follows :
"Tin1 white house family The pi client's

WASIIIXOIO.V , May -Special. [ . ] It Is
generally conceded by all tair minded men
that the eluht-hoiir movement was a clear
failure heie. Very few employers have
granted the dent mil , and , despite tlio an
nouncement that few men ate out ot wink ,
hundicdsof tliemaie idle. Over Iw'o millions
of dollars sent hcie for Investment in new
buildings , have been taken away and the lin-
piovemcnts , which were Imomingho heavily
a shoit time ago , are at a standstill. Theio
Is a movement on lent now , headed by the
emplo.vors. to establish a nine-liour-a-d.iv sys

Tlio illvoico case of MnaSoienson vs I.ars
Boronson liasj occupied the attention of the
court so far , The divorce is a'.ked on the
gioand ot oxtiomu ciuelty. As hainplu of
the husband's tendcinoss to his v\ifo , as ad
duced troin the evidence , the following are
given :
At ono time ho kicked her unlit black nnd
blue biulml plnies lemalnrd for a month ,
At anothei time , he sent Jicro out of ( loots
raily In tlie moinliigwith only a nUItt dies >
lor clothlnc. At another tiaut ho sent her
out of the house and &he was compelled to
btayln a Mtowdiift as piotection tiom the

Among other cas.es are liquor eases , In
which several saloon keepers have been
bound over on the charge of selling Intoxi
cating liquors without license. The liquor
soli ! was the Council lllulfs " 1)11 , " and de
fendants clalnillint | | It Is not within the class
of liquors for which the Sloctimb law requites
n license.
Another Interesting ca o Is that of Fclton
vs. Dickinson for slander , In winch Doctor
J'elton Mies for 521,000 damages lo his chat-
acter. The case excites a gieat deal of Inter-
eit , because of the prominence of both par
ties. Dickinson Is the piesldr.nt of the Statn
Hank of U'nlioo. and I'elton Is a prominent
lihy.ilclnn of tins city.

he did not fuel authorised to make such an
announcement authoiltatively , lie Is satisfied
that the titemeiit lie has made Is eonect.
Anothei sliiL-nlur fact Is that not a slnulu

Is Infeired that it such a thlu-f was in con

reducing the sjiecial lax Imposed on the man-
ufacturerB of oleomargarine from SCOO to
5100 , by a vote ofII lo 119.
After some discussion the statement wns
made that tlie pending proposition was slm-
plv to arm the president with the right to de-
prlvo Canadians of the privilege of which
they deprived citizens ot the United States
Kenoit was then agreed to without division.
Mr. Dlnglcy , trom the committee of con
ference , submitted a icport on the shipping
bill.
bill.Mr.
Mr. llrcekenrldge. of Kentucky , thought
that a consideration of the report should Lm
Postponed until the members of the house
had an opportunity to examine the provisions
of the bill carefully. Tito question Involved
In the 1'ryo iimomlmont was broader than at
lirst Hush It might appear to be. It not only
confcircd privlkce , but It imposed dutr Upon
the president to withdraw Irom foreign vea-
wls certain commercial privileges vvl.cn those
privileges had been denied to Ameiican ves
sels in the countries In which such foiclgn
vessels belonged. The supposed need for tlio
provision ro.so out of the recent troubles with
Canada , but theio was not a word in that bill
about INhlng vessels. Theic was no hinry
for the pa-sige of this hill , and It could bo
consideied moie tully at some future day
than it could now. Tlieie was no danger of
war , and the executive had under considera
tion a settlement of the Canadian lishciy
trouble.
Mr. Dun said that the provision did not ap-
plv to the lisltei ics question ,
Mr. tlreekeniidge thought that If that was
true theie was less necessity lei haste in
passing tlie bill , because there was no other
pending question lelatlvo to commercial
privileges between tlie United States anil
any other country. The objection to the
piovlslon was Ihat it enabled the piosldetit
to place an embargo upon a Canadian vessel ,
He woulil go as far us the gentleman from
Maine to protect the lislilin : Intel ests of Mas
sachusetts and Maine , but ' 10 wanted to bo
clear as to what he was doing. He did not
believe In retallatoiy or levengeful legisla
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Edgar believed morn In diplomatic In-
leieourse and patient correspondence with a
view of reaching a settlement , than he did In
the executive interference and ictallatoty
measures. II' ! had no doubt tbo Canadian
difficulty would bosatisfaetoiliy settled. Two
gieat nations like Kngland and the United
btates weio not irolng to tall out about a mat
ter of lisldng which can be seltled by negoti
ations.
Itcsumlng consideration of the oleomar
garine bill in the committee of the whole ,
Mr. Daniel moved to ledueo the special tux
on lelall dealers In olcomaicailne Irom S4S
to Pil.
Mr. llltt opposed the amendment , believ
ing that the judgment ol the commitlcoon
agiiciiltuie In fixing the uteot the tax might
be relied upon , but without action the com
mittee lose and the house adjourned.

DKS MoiNns. May 27. In the Drown Im
peachment trial to-day , the examination of
Judge Newman was continued. The witness
did not know whether the injunction sent
against Hrown had been dlsmisied because of
the change of atiiHtor , nor did ho know if
the hearing was had picltminary to Issuance
of the writ. The company's petition was
hero read , after whleli , also. Hiown's per-
ional reply regauling tlie question of 1m-
mired capital , llrow n held Ihat there should
bo a 40 per cent reserve for policy holders ,
40 per cent of the entile amount
of premiums leceived , and If
the company lelnsuied , It should
show in Its aiinu.il statement that amount
of risk icinsmrd and amount ot piemlums
In reinsurance , commuting tlie10 per cent
icserve , not on the basis of the le-
malnder obtained from deducting the
amount of inx'tiiltnus oiiglnally re
ceived on rfiks , but tlie lemainder
alter deducting Horn the agmegale ot pie-
niluiiis the amount ai'tmillv paid ioi icltisui-
ance , which should be legarded as liability.
uMr. Weaver piolestcd that whether this
company did legitimate or Illegitimate busi
ness was not mattei of Issue , but that tlie
pointl n question was Blown c.xtoitlonate in
his clianjo ol this compaii } .
Judge N'ouiM ! teplied that one aiticle of
liupeaclimentchaixed Hrown with not sur-
rcndeiing his oiliee , and that It vvas now
comjielent to know what Influences weio be
hind that injunction suit.
Judge New mall rcMiiued his testimony on

as tlie whole , but with the
item charging impiovemcnt of stock
Stewait had not pieised payment then'
whether Vail urged him or not , but postponed
asking litown tor a requisition until
the company had had le.isonablo
time to talk the matter over. The company
hudnot biought suit to iccover cluuges be-
canio they weie waiting lor an opuoitunlty

peacnmeut trial , it wns oulercd that the acts
of the deputy state auditor , when acting
under the aiitnoiily of Hrown , be admitted

sistently against It , evidently considering it
tlie pivotal point of the ens. ' . The com t evi
dently Intends to let in all testimony healing
upon the whole matter.

meeting called by Oladstone assembled In

ing was well attended by the premier's sup
porters , but none of the known Hsitington
or CliambeilHln dissidents were piesent.

cation woulu be made , but stated tlio govern
ment decided to modify the clause piovided
tlie bill passed second leading and was ic-
fcrrcd to a select committee lor action dur
ing the autumn session of pat [ la
ment. The meeting coidially apptoved
the position taken bv Gladstone. His
followers now express themselves as san
guine ot the success of his Iilsh policy. They
do not speak ns if they feel at all that any
concessions have been made lo the Chamber
lain or Hailinglon follow ings , bid main
tained that ( iladstono has defined the govern
ment's policy in a way so clear and satisfac
tory that the liberal vvaveieis can no longer
withhold their appioval and must tally to the
premier , ! ; Mippott. This , it is thought by the
government patty , must icsnltln piactlcally
bieaklng down the so called dissident oppo
sition , as it will leave no liberal not actuated
by puicly peisonal motive , any liutlicr
giound tor hostile affiliation.
LATCH Gladblono has declared ho would

duce an amended Iiish home itile bill A

care to ilsk compiomlslng themselves by

the Dcttor
St. Louis Ropubliean : There is avast
diflbreneo between the boj-s of to-day
und these of fifty .years ape , more
esuceially as regards the tliinjis which
minister to comfort and pleatttie. The
new boy , oven if his parents are only
moderalely blessed witli this world's
goods , 1ms n wardrobe which would Imvo
astonished the old boy. Instead of tlio
unlined cowhide boots ot'lcner shoes
roiiKl > woolen or roujlitr ! furoaj ) , course
cotton shirt , coat und pantaloons cut
down Irom tno caston"paternnl gar
ments , rarely an ovx-reoat and still more
rarely any underwear except the afore
said shirt und home-made socks-tho
now hey has his button shoes , rubber
boots , liiindsomu cap ot sealsKin or
ploth. neat linen , substantial tmderclotli-
inr ; knieUerbockors , coat and vest of
fashionable cut , with overcoat to mateli ,
nil bought for him at lirst humli , anil
frequently a watch and ehuml llo would
have been a greai.cr eiiriositv ninong his
companions limn a IrieU clephunt. From
the tim J the now boy is out of his cradle
lie has a lull a.ssortmeiit ot "bloro loys"
und as he gets older money provides him
with marbles , tops , kites , balls , bats ,
knives , wagons , sleds , skates , mcyelo.s
and nearly everything else in the sliapo
of playthings tlmt can he im-igined.
The old boy , in his infancy , was lucky
if ho got a silver dollar to cut his leet'h
on , an improvised rattle nnd : i rag baby.
Toys of larger growth ho manufactured
himself , " .swapped" for , got somehow by
"hook or crook , " or borrowed or did
without ; they were never bought for him ,
ami Clnistnms ami Santa Clans never
favored him with their visitations while
Now Years vvus proverbially .stingy and
Thanksgiving only sttilled his Moinnch.
Now : ind then ho had : i few coppers in
his pocket , but silver was quite Imyoiid
his reach. A warm sleeping apartment
in winter lie never enjoyed , unless on llio
sick list. In neold room , usually no big
ger than a clo.set , ho crawled between
ice eold sheets , und with chattering teeth
saw his breath go out in while vapor. In
llio morning he often broke ( hoicofor
wns-liing water , half dressed himself with
mini ! ; fingers and fini.-licd Iti.s toilette by
the kitehen hlove. The now boy has an
infinite- variety of literature , prepared
especially lor him ; tlmt ot tlio old boy
was of thu ancient Sunday f-chool sort ,
of which no more need be s'uid to those
who have tried it. The new boy goes to
the theatre , elicits or ut least to tno dime
museum ; but these places of amusement
and recreation vvcro hardly known in the
old uoy's time certainly not for him.
Tlio now boy begins with kindergarten
and ends with college or at least high
school. The old boy was fortunate if no
obtained his "three It's" from some rural
pedagogue or nt best vvnsgroimd through
n much poorer ediienlionul mill than ne
groes have nowndiijH ,
When cu ! of llio mill he was set to
work and thought himself wt-li paid with
indilierciit board and clothes. Tlio gon-
led idleness of the average new boy ,
which so often degcnerale-i in vaga
bondism , was not tolerated fitly years
ngo , mid , unlike Iho average now hoy.
the old boy had no money to spend until
ho made it. He had no dad's cash hank
to diuw upon ; only I he revenue of his
own foil mid thrift.
IVrlmps il is only nn old boy's partial
ity for old ways , but it seems * In us that
tin ) hard e\erienco | of the old hoys did
more lor them in various ways than llio
hoflerand easier Jol of llio new bo.vs did
for llioni. The former were qu'iU ) no

Probably the new method of training
