Ex-President Cleveland lias given
sixty-five acres of land near Princeton
to be used as a school farm for boys
from the city slums. This institution
will be conducted in a way that will
cause it to accomplish much good.
There will be no suggestion of the
| average juvenile reformatory in con-
i nection with this plan for saving bright
J boys who would otherwise grow up in
I an atmosphere of vice and crime. In-
i stead of confining the boys to one large
building, so suggestive of a penal insti
)union, cottages will be erected and
j occupied by small groups of the boys,
j The belief is that the farm will soon
be self-sustaining, as it is desired to
avoid all appearance of charity.
Associated with Mr. Cleveland in
tiiis practical reformatory movement
are several other prominent men, some
ol whom are educators and others busi
ness men. The farm school will be
well equipped in all respects and will
be under tie- direction ot skilled in
structors in farming, as well as excel
lent teachers in the ordinary branches j
of common school education.
Mr. Cleveland could hardly have
devised a better plan for the rescue of
boys who are being carried into lives
of worthlessness and crim;.
The farm school which the ex-presi
dent has founded will, We believe, be
come a model reformatory, for there is
everything in the plans for it to sug

There seems to be a general move

franchise, and to so far restrict this
right as to eliminate front its privileges
any dangerous elements that may exist
from ignorance or prejudice.

An Explanation.
I’he reason for the great popularity
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla lies in the tact
that this medicine positively cures. It
is America’s Greatest Medicine, and
tiie American people have an abiding
•onfidenee in its merits. They buy
and take it for simple as well as serious
ailments, confident that it will do them
good.

The bodies of the dead Spaniards
continue to be cremated. Over seven
hundred have been buried so far. This
afternoon seventy were to be burned
Over two rails a dozen bodies are
stretched across them another dozen,
and then about thirty corpses are stack
ed in an immense funeral pile, ten high.
The pile is then saturated with kero
sene and the toureh applied. A fall of
rain put out the fire, causing the bodies
to be only half burned. Around the
pile lay twenty-two coffins containing
corpses in a state of decomposition.
Several naked bodies were strewn upon
the ground in a state of putrefication.
Altogether about seventy unburied and
uneonsumed bodies lay around. The
stench was terrible. This happened at
a cemetery within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery officials
say it imposible to get men to work
at the cremation. Wages of a dollar a
day prove uo inducement to the natives
to work at this gruesome toil.

all state officers is two years. Missis
sippi ejects a governor lor four yeats
and members for legislature tor four
years. State officers in Mississippi are
elected for four years except the chief
justice, who has a term of nine years.
As a consequence, if it were not tor the
recurrence ol congressal elections the
I voters ot Mississippi would vote only
I once in four years, as is the case in
i presidential elections.
In Missouri formerly the term of
governor was two years but now four,
and state officers in Missouri are elect
ed for four years, the term ot state sen
ators being tour years also. The next
state election in Missouri will be on
November 6, 1900, the same day as
the presidential election. Virginia is
still another southern state in which
the infrequency of elections i- thought
to be a good thing. The term of the
governor ot Virginia is four years and
the attorney genenal and lieutenant
governor have a like term. Virginia
elects state senators lor four years and
adopts, too, the plan of holding its
state election in the year succeeding
the presidential election. The next
state election in Virginia will be on
December 1, 1901, and the contention
is made that good results have already
attended (his plan of state elections
once in four years and ot state office!a
and legislators chosen tor long terms.
North Carolina is another southern
state which adopts the same plan of
infrequent elections for state officers,
although it elects members ot the legis
lature in alternate years. The term of
the governor and of the state Officers
in North Carolina is four years. The
chief justice of the supreme court is
elected for six.
In Kentucky a four years term for
the rule
and in West Virginia', in which for
merly the term of governor was three
years, the governor and all other state
officers are now elected lor four. There
will be no state election in West Vir
ginia until tbe year of the n«xt presi
dential election. Four years is the
term of governor and state officers in
Florida and in the south generally four-
year terms have become tbe rule.

Hie kiss which Lieutenant Hobson
heroically received from a St. Louis
lady at Long Beach,recalls tin incident
in which the late General U. S. Grant
figured, without, however, sharing the
blushing honor. Just after the close of
the civil war, General Grant, with his
family, went to the Union hotel at
Saratoga springs. Major William W.
Lelaml, the proprietor of the hotel,had
been chief commissary on the general’s
staff. He gave a banquet to General
Grant and bis wife. Many officers who
were front the Army oi Tennessee were
presetit, as well as several prominent
citizens.
During the (tinner the guests were
somewhat startled fo see a Saratoga
belle advance, with a gracious Grecian
bend, and ask permission of the general
to kiss him. There was only one there
who received the. general's salute. To
that high person lie now deferred.
Turning, he said, “With Mrs. Grant’s
permission.’’
Mrs. Grant had, as every one ob
served, a drooping lid. SI13 was oblig
ed, therefore, to throw back her bead
to get a good look at the audacious sup
plicant, who now had not only the eves
ol all the distinguished company on
her, but those of the other guests of
the hotel as well.
After an embarrassing pause, in
which Mr*. Grant bait time' to con
sider the offensive charge on her de
fenseless spouse and fortify herself
against the fair • enemy, she came to
his relief and declined to capitulate.
Nothing daunted, however, and to
prove to those present that the Amer
ican girl has nerve as well as mettle,
the fair heroine seized the general’s
hand, and said:
“Well, as you will not kiss me, I
will shake your hand,” and retired with
ail the honors ot war—vanquished but
not subdued—H. H. L , in New York
