Mayor Wise Down Town ; ' The Mayor of Astoria wat down on the streets yesterday after his five weeks of illness, and looks a bit thin and shaky, but is mending steadily. He will leave in a few days for an outing, but just in what' direction is not yet determined, hit Spokane trip being discounted on account of the heavy floods up that way. In answer to an inquiry relative to the "late, lamented" report of the Councilmanic quintette on the gambling situation, Mayor Wise made tome pertinent re marks, among which was one to the effect that "if it was the purpose of any person, or group of persons, to re-open this city to the licensed swing of gambling and dancehalls and kin dred evils, it would not be done to long at he remained in the mayoralty, and that would be until the first of January next!" Season of Sheer Fun The fact that the Astoria Elks are to put on a minstrel show in this city on the nights of Monday and Tues day, March 30th and 31st, has set all hands agog with pleasant anticipation for the short but certain season of sheer fun. The funny business and all its concomitants will be promoted and directed by the skillful hands and minds, of Miller & Draper, of New York, to whose experience and re sources, the greatest successes in this line through the country have been realized. These men have had years of practical training in the business having both served in the leading troups of America, and have studied the art of putting amateur talent to the best and most successful uses everywhere. The wit, wealth and wil lingness of the local herd will furnish the "go" when thSse New Yorkers have done their part in the organiza tion 'of the show and the street parades, etc, and like all things done by the Elks, it will be recorded as chicfest and most enjoyable of the projects fathered by this jolly and critical fraternity. Keep the fact in remembrance, and don't forget the dates. GROVER CLEVELAND. 3k Hals and Hearty at 71 Receives Congratulatory Telegrams. NEW YORK. March ia-Grover Cleveland is quietly celebrating his 71st birthday at Lakewood, N. J., to day. The 22nd and 24th President of the United States, though the allotted t.hree score years and ten took a long walk yesterday and seems to be ex cedent spirits. This morning Mrs. Cleveland and the children came over from Prince ton to spend the day with him. Each of the children brought some present and it is understood the Princeton students will send the former presi dent a congratulatory telegram. ' "I have not felt so well in many a day" said Mr. Cleveland as he walk ed in the lobby of the Lakewood Hotel yesterday. "Why, I took a longer walk to-day than I have taken in months. I feel fine. In fact, I believe I am in much better physical condition than I have been for a long, long time." Mr. Cleveland started out in the morning with a brisk stride. First he went to his cottasre, the White House. Far some moments he stood before the cottage and for a time ap pcarcd silent in contemplation. From the White House Mr. Cleveland took a long walk around the lake finally returning to his hotel Mr. Cleveland has undoubtedly lost a great deal of flesh, but his med ical advisers say that he is now in better health than he has been for some months. The former president has come here-to recuperate, and the length of his stay depends entirely upon the condition of his health. "How about the national questions of the democratic, party?" Mr. Cleve land was asked. He made it plain that he did not care to discuss political issues. "I don't know what I can say that will be of public interest," he said to one of his friends. The manager of the Lakewood Hoted is preparing a surprise for Mr. Cleveland. He has ordered an enor mous cake baked and will decorate with seventy one candles and will put it on his table at luncheon. From all parts of the country con gratulatory telegrams are coming in. Hundreds of these have gone to Princeton, as their senders did not know of his visit to Lakewood. Whenever Mr. Cleveland appears in the lobby of the hotel he is at once seized by friends wishing to shake hands with him. . , vtr . n 7 ix.n Personal KrovVLEDGjiwiiL i Perianal VnauAtAsr it Am wmmncr tmrtcm in ftfui niminahfif mk(mIi rl w - W ---- m m wvinvtw nut competitive age and when of ample character k placet its fortunate pottettor in the front rank of The Wefl Informed of the World.
