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.

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. . ,

iod of 35 years, five of which were
spent in Germany and thirty in the
U. S. Mr. Conreid as yet has made no
plans for returning to America but
as he is to have a large share of the
