THE HARRISON HOUSEHOLD. The Mistress of the White House. Domestic Circle of the New Administra- tion. —-->——__ 4 TRIBUTE TO THE RETIRING FIRST LADY—HOW GENERAL HARRISON WON HIS BRIDE—THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN—MRS. MORTON ASD MRS. HALFORD— CHARACTERISTICS. —_—a_ The shifting scenes in the national drama of executive succession brings to the front new characters in the administration of publie affairs and in the social regime of the place of supreme rank. In American politico-social as in politico-administrative concerns it is the aph- orism of the effete institutions of divine-right doctrines repeated with a feminine application, “The queen is dead, long live the queen.” In the drawing-rooms of the executive mansion, while words of regret and farewell have been said to the retiring first lady,in the parlors of the President-elect salutations and welcome have greeted the new first lady of the republic. The career of the former been phenomenal in the rewards of public applause. She had youthfal beauty, amiability of spirit, and an unuasual aptitude for the duties and’ exigen- cies of social leadership. The latter will have that splendor of matured loveliness of person, erand works which is the culmination of matronly influence and worth. Mra. Cleveland fied the marvelous range of capability of the American _ girl. re Harrison will illustrate the | wonderful force and development of the American woman. Mrs. Clevelandentered the executive mansion as a bride, fresh from the gayeties of her girlhood and maiden life. The ~ avian experiences of college days, entre into society and European travel were stillnew. From the walks of a young lady in ordinary society, she entered the highest sphere of social preferment, and played her ‘t with brilliant success. Mrs. Harrison takes her place in the executive man- sion after a life of domestic experiences, early cares, and subsequent successes. The story of the life of Frances Folsom Cleve- land, as first lady of the land, has been written in her career imperishably in the social history of administrations. Mrs. Harrison follows in the line of social leadership and preeminence with ber career before her. MRS. HARRISON, Abont fifty-three years ago the household of Rev. John Witherspoon Scott, a Presbyterian divine, president of the Oxford, Obio, female college, was made happy by the birth of a deughter, At that time Andrew Jackson swayed the destinies of the country, and Emily Donelson, wife of his private secretary, and Sarah Yorke Jackson, wife his foster-son, divided the honors of the social administration of the executive mansion, : infant daughter of the reverend pro- ived the name Carrie. Dr. Scott be- ed to an old Pennsylvania family, his birth occurring in Buck's county, that state, in the first year of the century. When he was a youth in Philadelphia he met @ young lady named Mary Neal. The young people became much attached to each other, but circumstance intervened to separate them. The young lady's father was a bank cashier in Philadelphia- About the time she was entering the most in- teresting age of maiden life he removed to DIAGRAM OF THE INAUGURAL BALL ROOM. In 1881 General Harrison entered the Senate of the United States, and Mrs. Harrison became a member of that distinguished circle, the wives of the Senators. In her Washington resi- dence of six years Mrs. Harrison extended her sphere of usefulness. Her name was associated with noble charities and ehurch work, The Garfield hospital owes its present success in a large degree to her active interest as one of its _ directors. - in appearance Mrs. Harrison is a t} of} seaironty “beauty. In figure she pitty generosity of nature in a well-rounded form and in mind nature’s equal beneficence, ex- comrery by training in the acquirements of a fiberal education, drawn from the broadest op- portunities. A lavish growth of hair, silvered with the threads of little over a half century of life, and floating in curly waves over a well- shaped head and ending in a graceful coil, her regular features and dark, expressive eyes forma picture of ripened womanhood. She has a voice softened by the instincts of a gentle nature and a gift of conversation which, while animated, is still thoughtful. The tastes of Mrs. Harrison lie in the direc- tion of art. Her works in water colors are the evidences of her gifts and application to her favorite recreation. American womanhood may feel honored that it will have at the head of the domestic and social environments of the new executive household one so fair and gifted as Mrs. Harri- Washington, Pa. taking his family with him, to found and manage a bank in the interests of eastern capitalists, foe About the same time Mr. Scott, having com- pleted his educational and theological studies, came to-Washington, Pa..as an instructor in | the old Washington college before it wasunited with its rival, Jefferson. The old acquaintances | was renewed. and soon after Mary Neal. the | bank cashier's daughter. became the wife of | John W. Scott, the professor. Some 40 miles in northwesterly direction from Cincinnati, Ohio, is the rural town of Oxford. As early as 1326 it was made the seat of Miami university, founded under the patronage of the state. These important educational interests subse- | guently led to the establishment of the Oxford | Female college and the Western Female semi- nary. Of the former Rev. John W. Scott had become president. THE STUDENT LOVER. There was a student at Oxford at this time by the name of Benjamin Harrison. He had passed from Farmer's college into the Miami university, and graduated at the age of eighteen years, « tribute in itself to his indus- try and” mental capabilities. The young | student. in the midst of his pursuit of learning. found himself overtaken by love. The daughter of the worthy man of God and erudi- tion was the object of his affection. John Scott Harrison, the father of the student, was too warm-hearted and liberal to lay by much of earth’ sstores or even to take a selfish care of what he received by inheritance. The patrimonial estat 4 diminished in acres od the family exchequer in cash under his management, which left Benjamin to make his own way,with a good education as his capital and the world as his field for investment. It was a trying situation into which to be driven by implacable fate, to sever the tender ties which held him at Oxford for the unemotional experiences of a student at law in the firm of Bellamy Stover and Abram Gwynn, of Cincinnati. The very name had a mustiness about it which savored of mucl law and learning. He finished his toilsome journey up the rugged highway of jurisprudence, and the first thing thereafter, like u sensible young man, wended his way back to Oxford. THE WEDDING. On October 20. 1853, he there made Miss Carrie Scott his bride, The prospects in life tor the young couple were not bright, as the world goes, but the young people were full of hope. Their united fortunes in love made them contented, and with happy hearts and will- ing hands they crossed the threshhold of life's duties together. ‘Their honeymoon was passed under the pa- ternal roof at North Bend. below Cincinnati. ‘Tbe estate impinged upon the boundary line of Indiana. In the following March the young couple went to Indianapolis, the wife to lay the foundations and make # home and the hus- band to build upagareer. In addition to the care bestowed upon her education, the young wife was trained in household duties. The Oxford seminary boarding-house, which ac- commodated about thirty young ladies, was | naged by Mrs. Scott, who was assisted by | daughter. Carrie Scott, in those days, was speaking eyes and good figure. She was greatly adm by the students, but not one could stand in the way of “Ben,” as she always affec- tionately called him. UNPRETENTOUS SURROUNDINGS. The cash capital at ve command of Benjamin Harrison when he began married life and the practice of his profession was $800, an advance ou a lot in Cincinnati inherited through his aunt, who married James Finlay, a soldier of the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison began their domestic responsibilities in rooms in an Indianapolis boarding-house. In the summer of 1854 Mrs. Harrison paid a visit to her parents at the old home at Oxford, and there, on August 12, Russell Harrison. their eldest child, was born. After this event in the family circle, the young mother baving returned in the autumn, to Indianapolis, the proud husband rented a small house and began jife in earnest, his faithful and industrious wife doing her own housework, in a cottage of three rooms. The steady gains in fame, @ bright, vivacious, witty girl, very pretty, with | son. ‘MRS. RUSSELL HARRISON. | During a portion of the Senatorial term of | Benjamin Harrison, Alvin Saunders occupied a | seat in the same body as a Senator from Ne-| braska. Each Senator hada daughter, both | were named Mary, both were great favorites in Washington society, and were particularly fond of each other. This sisterly affection was brought within the periphery of the family cir- cle by the marriage of Russell Harrison to the daughter of Alvin Saunders. Her father, a de- | scendant of a Virginia family of Kentucky pio- | neers, where he was born, went to Iowa in 1436, was a member of the constitutional convention upon the admission of that state into the Union in 1845; was President Lincoln’s governor of Nebraska from 1861 until it jomed the sister- hood of states in 1867, and was a Senator of the United States 1877-83. Her mother was Mar- thena, daughter of Theodore Barlow, of Green county, Indiana, originally from Virginia and prominent in the early development of the | Western territory. The marriage of Mary Saunders to Russell Herrison took place in Washington in January, 1885. The young couple removed to Helena, Mont., where Russell Harrison and Charles L. Saunders, his brother-in-law, engaged in busi- ness. Mr. Harrison, who is largely identified with journalism and the stock-raising and agri- cultural interests of Montana, is very popular among the people of that embryo state, and it is said that there is a great probability of his appearance in the affairs of the new common- wealth, His wife, with her year-old infant, Marthena, will spend some time at the executive mansion. ‘MARY SCOTT HARRISON M’KEE.

MRS, ANNA LIVINGSTON MORTON. It may be said as an historic fact that for the first time in the history of the government the social surroundings of the Vice-President of the United States, the constitutional heir presumptive to the presidency, will be of a character commensurate with the dignity of the chief place in the legislative arm of the government and the second post of national election. Mrs, Anna Livingston Morton, on her mo- ther’s side, comes by descent from a family of colonial and Revolutionary distinction. In the affairs of those historic times her ancestors were conspicuous in public concerns. One of her branch of thas family was Chancellor Liv- ingston, who administered the oath of office to George’ Washington, first President of the United States. just one hundred years ago on the coming 30th of April. The first wife of Vice-Presi, r Lucy Kimball, daughter of Elijah Kimball, a prominent citizen of Flatlands, L. I. y were married in 1854, the year of the Fremont campaign. She died in 1871, leaving no chil- dren. ‘The present Mrs, Morton, married in 1873, is a daughter of the late Wm. T. Stragt, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., well known during a long life for his public spirit. She is a sister of Wm. A. Street, a prominent lawyer of New York city, and niece of Alfred B. Street, the | Albany poet. Miss Street in her maiden days was one of the most beautiful wom in her native city and was greatly admired for her grace and complishments, In her matured womanhood, | who has been honorably discharged so desires, THE DISTRICT MILITIA BILL.

Complaint of the Commuters. BAD TREATMENT OF THEM BY THE BATIMORE AND OHIO ROAD. To the Editor of Tue EvENING Star: Linp Mp., Feb, 28, 1889, and the mother of five beautiful children, she | still holds the charms of her younger days in features, form, and manners, She grew up under the most favorable influences of family and surroundings, and as the wife of Levi P. Morton has shown her skill as a social leader in the polite hospitalities of her 5th-avenne home in New York, her seaside cottage, ‘Fair | Lawn,” at Newport; and her mountain retreat at Ellerslie, in the historic vicinity of Rhine- cliff and Kingston, where the state of New York had its political birth. She has been a leader in the congressional circles at Washing- ton and in the sphere of diplomatic hospitali- ties near the court of the French republic. her domestic surroundings Mrs. Morton is not only happiest, but her own little casket OF HOUSEHOLD GEMS gives her the greatest pride and satisfaction. Edith, her eldest daughter, is a tall, willowy blonde of expressive beauty, just entering her fifteenth year. Lena, who has just entered her teens, bears astrong resemblance to her mother, Helen, who is twelve, is a striking type of child- hood attractions. Alice, who is also a blonde, is nine, and Mary, the youngest of the family. who is another competitor for the honors of family charms, is seven. The only son, Lewis Parsons, who would have been eleven years of age had he lived, died while his parents were in London. Mrs. Morton is a very striking blonde with blue eyes of deep expression. She is the type of queenliness of figure, and in her movements exhibits all the eof a distinguished lineage and cultivation incident to careful training. The approaching quadrennial term opens with every prospect of being socially the most brilliant in The Listory of the government and the social life of the capital. Deb. RB. K. That New-Fangled Ring.

HOW THEY INTEREST THE CROWD—SOME WHO ARE HONEST AND SOME WHO MIGHT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNWARY—THE GOODS THAT THEY SELL AND THEIR WAY OF SELLING THEM. The street fakirs are quick to take advantage of the opportunities opened to them by the in- augural celebration, The name “Fakir” sug- gests something crooked or dishonest, but it does not necessarily follow that all fakirs are dishonest. ‘There are exceptions to every rule. There are a great variety of fakirs. The upper- tendom of the fraternity is made up of the young men—the clever young men—who travel from town to town, wherever there isa cele- bration, or fair, or grand occasion of any sort that brings a crowd, selling mementoes of the occasion. The whole family of fakirs makes up a-curious and interesting group. They are all glib, and their glibness is their fortune, or at least their livelihood. They are the asilver- tongued orators of the street, and they are fully as clever, if notas learned, as the “‘spell- binders” or any other of the elevated orators who live by voice and vocabulary. They are able to mislead many an unsuspecting stranger. or to induce them purchase trinkets at prices profitable to the fakir. OCCUPYING THE GOOD PLACES. When the crowd comes in they occupy almost every available spot on the principal thorough- fares, either in a vehicle, ona dry goods box or on the cold ground, according to the amount of capital or the préspects for a good harvest. The fakir begins by telling jokes and funny stories. In this way he attracts his crowd, and he is sure to find some with a little money to spend in his wares, “I will show you a little trick,” he says to the few boys who are usually the first to stop with their friend the fakir. He is always amusing them, and they are useful to him to start the crowd. “I have something to show you,” he says again slowly, “something to show you!” Significantly and mysteriously he repeats this six or eight times, until he has a fair audience towork upon, Then he explains his “little trick.” By this time ie crowd has reached a hundred or more and he makes a startling statement about something that he is about to ‘give away.” He means that he is going to sell them at remarkably low figures, but there are some of the credulous who take him at his word. Their eyes appear as large as saucers and they wonder how he can give things away and still live. “How can he afford to do it?” they ask each ‘other. “Easily enough” echoes the fakir. Then he will tell them that his father, who is a million- aire manufacturer of some‘article, desires to get his goods before the public, and to do so he is willing to give among the good people thou- sands of dollars’ worth of goods. In order that the receiver might show good faith he charges the small sum of ten or twenty-five cents for the article, which is worth double the money, THE “DIAMOND” JEWELRY, jor a writing outfit, is given as a present, Under the gaslight the jewelry sparkles, and its deceptive rays catch the eye of the inno- cent. “Just think of it; all this ing. Who wants the first lot? “Here; me; this way!” cries the crowd. Then there are quick sales and large profits, A snall box of corn-salve or paste for taking grease out of clothing is handed out with an envelope filled with jewelry. The purchaser is well satisfied and if he thinks ‘the bs. ir” is less so he is mistaken. ‘Go home, put it on your corns and if it don’t cure I'll refund your money.” This is a set promise that they all make, and none keep. He signs no iron-clad agreement, and there is no way of collecting the money even if you should find him again, But he is such a pleasant and such a funny fel- low it is but natural to laugh over his tricks, even at your own expense. jewelry for noth- THE HABIT OF BEING VICTIMIZED. You may think that one deal with a fakir would be enough for any one. Not so; men get in the habit of being victimized and learn to like the excitement. They gamble with fakirs and alwaya lose. The jewelry they get is | geeresge by the barrel or ton and will turn red, white and blue after being worn for a few “What is the corn salve made of 7” Axle grease or some other cheap compound generally! They try to make it harmless, but it may not always be safe to use. This com- pound is put up in small pill boxes, bought wholesale, making the cost of each “trick” very little, so that his profits are large, and another article often sold by fakirs is a preparation for taking grease spots out of clothing. That is a useful article in every household and for that reason the “fakir” handles it, He understands | his business well enough to know that some needy articles must be sold to attract general attention. ‘What does he do?” Why, he takes a piece of cloth and presses a piece of ‘fat ham on it, making a grease spot that anybody can see, Then he takes some of his preparation, is nothing more nor less than rosin soap.
