But at the point where the party left the train at the road, just across from his own back door, all the inhabitants of that particular section were drawn up in single file. There were only a half dozen all told, ladies and gentlemen, the guests of tie one hotel which is now open. They made their welcome warm enough. but the weather was decidedly cool. The President's family, along with a good many more Washingtonians, will never forget Wednesday's heat, but there is no doubt but the cold of their first night at the point will make just as lasting an impres- sion. All the party were lightly clad and no- body even carried a wrap, save the prudent forethough which had provided thick cloaks for the children. | They had « gay journey and lots of fun teasing acl other about the cold. The cottage became a mighty pleasing vision when they reached it, although it did present an undeniably sammer appex ance.

LOOKING ABOUT THE HOUSE. ‘The first thing the President did when he reached the cottage was to read a telegram which had preceded him there. The first thing ‘Mrs. Harrison did was to take a peep into each room on the first floor and then out to the kitchen to interview the new cook, who was operating the culinary machinery for the first time. Then came & confab with the house- keeper—an informal discussion.as to what de- velopments might be expected from the con- dition of the larder and all the rest of the whys and wherefores in which a good housewife ‘must interest herself. ‘When at last Mra. Harrison led the way up- st for her guests the ladies found plenty of | diversion in selecting the rooms they liked best | and making therselves comfortable in thera Dinner was served after 7 and partaken of with great relish, since it was deferred until | ali hands had an appetite for it. The dinner table was made more attractive bya great bunch of roses in the center. Every room in the house was also made fragrant with flowers. After dinner the rain, which had been pelting on the window panes, moderated a little, and the President and Mrs. Harrison, who are very fond of the sea, were able to watch the white capped waves as they tumbled and broke on the shore. Of course the babies had their frolic with their grandparents before they went | to bed. All the household were tiredand sought MADAME A.

A,BIG Lor oF BAGGAGE. ‘The baggage of the family, guests and ser- vants made a pretty big car load. There were ten or twelve big and little trunks, three chests of silver and china, and pictures, baby car- riages and the children’s toys in the collection, to say nothing of kitchen stores. Little Benja min brought a wheelbarrow, a sand bucl t and shovel, as well as a lawn tennis set, his fire | engines and hia live pets. His latest acquisi- tions in the latter line are three white rabbits ith the pinkest of pink eyes. These favored mals receive such an amount of petting that itought to make them proud. Then little Mary MeKee has a baby coach to ride in herself and another a few sizes smaller to push around a desperate-looking doll baby, who, before she began to receive the devoted care of her mie- tress, was really a very picturesque Normandy nt. ‘Ihe President and Mrs. Harrison have three agreeable companions in their guests, Mrs. Geo. B. Williams, Miss Ella Warfield and Mrs. Dimmick. They can be depended upon for that easy flow of spirits without which the de- pressing intluences of a cold, rainy snap at the seaside would be apt to spread. CAVE MAY POINT. Cape May Point is a year old in history, but it bad settlers before that. Some of their de- scendants are now preparing to resume business at the old stand. If it was remarakable for any- ing else before last year than the numbers of mosquitoes it does not seem ,to be on record anywhere. Now. they say that with the filling in of the marshes, the draining of the land and the rest of the improvements engendered by the real estate boom which broke loose here last spring, the early and only previous inhabi- tante—the Jersey mosquito—has almost com- pletely vanished. That, of course, is a very good story to tell now, when an east wind is rattling every window around yoa, and the roar of the waves can be heard above the din. In the neighborhood of the President's cot- tage, where there are well-rolled drives and great stretches of smooth green lawns, the point has a wide-awake and attractive look. ‘The President's cottage is naturally the most interesting spot of all. In size itis far the most pretentious of any of the private houses. ‘A year's wear and tear have done away with the newness and somehow has given it a more substantial appearance. It has a nice grass plot all ‘it, and the presidential clover h is kept private by the low fence all around it. Aseverybody can see all around the house there is no temptation to go inside the fence. The house faces the ocean, and, in fact, is only ted from it by the boule- yard drive. hs nj Bespemgeen on all sides it seem twice as on warm days when tne fanily can sit outdoors. . : INTERIOR OF THE COTTAGE. pony ee agg a eee. looks like pl af Beussheeping Gite associating: Harrison with the spa- civus blue parlor at the White House.

The other rug has “Harrison and Morton” well defined in white letters on a dark ground and in the center are two flags with their standards crossed. Homely as they are they are caloulated to last two or three generations, and anybody who admires the industry and thrift they embody would think these two rugs the most interesting ob- jects in the cottage. THE SIMPLE DINIXG ROOM. The dining room is as simply furnished as the rest. The table takes up the greatest part of it, The new fireplace is put in a corner, where last year there was a threo-cornered closet. The closet was moved to another cor- ner. The antique oak buffet is the finest piece of furniture in the house. When decked up with napkins and some of the White House silver and glass on it with the pretty china it makes quite a show. The kitchen and pantry stretch across the back part of the first floor. ‘The culinary para- phernalia is pretty much like that everybody else has at the point. There are the regula- tion number of pots and pans hanging aroun the walls, and as it has to be also the serv: dining room, their table is in one corner in ad- dition to ali the rest. The cooking stove is about the most striking object in the kitchen, and certainly the one which most interests the family circle there. Upstairs Mrs. Harrison makes the ball the family sitting room. ‘There are more signs of domestic life here than all the rest of the cot- tage combined. In front the doors open on the veranda, which has settees and rockers like down stairs. The new fireplace is in the center of the ball and will naturaily be the rallying point for the family on cool evenings. On hot ones, which are much more frequent, the hall is quite as comfortable with the porch ai annex. ‘The hall has a number of couches and lounges, ali furbished up with bright chintz covers and piled high with cushions. There tre plenty of eapacious rockers, and. a. sewing | machine, a reading aud a writing table show the diversity of occupations which will be car- ried on there. This month’s novela, magazines and picture papers replaced today what was left there from last summer. Lamps to read ty and lamps to look pretty Ly are also valun- ble additions to the hall furnishings. THE PRESIDENTIAL BED ROOM. At the left of the hall is the President's bed room. It has a neat carpet on the floor and a set of cherry-stained furniture. There are no farbelows any where about it. Neither are there any about Mrs. Harrison's room, which is just opposite it. Her furniture is just as simple, but it looks more expensive, beiiig imi- tation ovk. She has a gay flowered’ carpet on her floor, and when her toilet table is fixed up with its dainty mustin accessories the room is very pretty. ‘Tue room just back of Mrs. Harrison is a bath room, and next to that again is what is known as Mrs. Mekee’s room. Adjoining that is a cosy corner room, the nursery, where Ben- jamin and Mary are’ already much at home. Dr. Scott's room is left for visitors this Mrs. Dimmick’s room is also on the 2 floor ‘The third floor has the on and the nursery The servants’ rooms baby daughter. are also on this floor. Across the entire front of the house on the upper floor is a billiard room. Playing billiards is the President's favorite relaxation when he cannot get out doors to walk. The ladies of the family have not acquired’ any dexterity scarcely at all in handling the cue, aithough it is not for want of trying. For fun and exer- cise indoors any one of them wouid prefer a romp with the children. When the Pr ident plays billiards with litle Benjamin fo audience hé never fails of an enthusiastic mirer for all his crack shots. SIMPLE LUT COMFORTABLE. As will be gleaned from the above there are few of the large cottages as simply furnished as the President's, but asit has ail the essentials for a summer's comfort that isull its occupants care for. The cottage next door, scarcely half its size, cost £10,000, and a large proportion of this sum wag expended in decorating the wails. But there was not an unnecessary dollar spent in getting ready the President's cottage, and considering the uproar there wax about bis ac- aepting the gift one might have thought it was fimshed in gold and silver. The land company, which presented the honse and which virtually controls the point, takes care of the property in the absence of the family, keeps it in repair, got it ready before the family arrived and will see to all their belongings wher they leave it again. The company alsc manages to keep a curious public from peeping in the cottage ar by infringing im the slightest degree on the ivacy of its oceupan’ Outside these Little safeguards to guard against any breaks in the “divinity which doth hedge the king «bout,” the life of the Presi- dent's family will be as’ democratic as anybody else at the seashore. Last summer the cot- tagers seemed to expect that neither Mr. or Mrs. Harrison would think anything of cross- ing over the fields to return their call, but if the ladies made one call they would have to keep it up and they would soon be as busy receiving yisitors as they are athome. The next place, Mrs. Harrison cannot accommodate many ser- joy considerable rest and quiet also. She man- fages the domestic machinery with a house- keeper, a cook, a waiter, her own maid and the two nurses for the children. ‘The family wash comes back to the White House eve week, where the usual force of servants are still employed. THE DAILY ROUTINE. Brenkfast at the cottage is served at 8 o'clock, or it will be when the family has settled down to its usual routine. Luncheon is a plentiful meal, on the table usually between 1 and half past. The dinner hour is variable and depends on the length of the afternoon drive. Seven is the hour generally. Every duy the waiter, who also acts as steward, goes over to Cape May to do the marketing and the President's table is supplied with the best that can be tound. Fish and oysters are steady articles of diet and are always good here. For the rest of this month the family will have their immediate neighborhood almost safe from intrusion, as none of the hotels expect to do any business before the ist of July. It strikes casual visitors as very odd that the ho- tel nearest the President's cottage, and cer- tainly as desirable as any of them, has the cheapest rates of the three, which are run by the same enterprising man- ager, who seems to have all of the present und good deal of the future of the point in his hands. ‘The same fascination may not exist when the crowd comes as does now in watch- ing the movements of the President and his family. Excepting the cottagers nearly all the transients here are invalids and the arrival of the White House family seemed a perfect god- send. It gave them something to wait for and now they have somebody interesting enough to watch their every movement. A MOMENTOUS TOPIC. But at the hotel supper table the President's political future, Mr. Blaine’s health, the Ohio senatorehip and the McKinley nomination and all the rest of the great questions, which were such burning issues on Wednesday night, sim- mered into nothingness beside the statemant from an eye-witness that Sirs. Harrison helped the cook to move two big wash tubs from one side of the kitchen to the other. ‘That laid out the boarder who heard that last summer Mra. Harrison was not very sociable when she met ple and wildly enthused the fat boarder, who got off a lively peroration on such charming simplicity and helpfulness as this displayed in the wife of the President of these United States. The President was seen on the lawn and mora safoyed "a quiet smoke this morning, when he enjoyed ‘a quiet smoke with o fragrant cigar. Mra. Harrison anda nurse took advantage of a lull in the drizzle to take a drive to Cape May city after dinner to look after some stray baggage and attend to other domestic matters. . ‘The only caller of the day was W.

ALAROR NUMBER OF CITIZENS MEET AT WILLARD HALL—PATRIOTIC AND PRACTICAL SPEECHES MADE—COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS PRESIDES— COMMITTEES APPOINTED ON GUARANTEE FUND. ‘The movement in favor of inviting the Grand Army to hold their annual encampment in this city next year was given a strong impulse at the public meeting which was held at Willard Hall last evening. ‘The purpose in calling the meeting was to effect a formal organization with the view of securing subscriptions toward afund which would be used in entertaining the veterans who will attend the encampment. With a substantial indication of this character of the desire of the people of this city that the next session of the encamp- ment should be held here it is believed that when the invitation is presented to the encampment, which meets in Detroit in August, that there will be no doubt of its acceptance. |‘Lhis was the opinion expreseed at the meeting last evening, which was composed of ‘a large number of the leading Grand Army men of the city and of citizens. The speeches made and the action taken was unanimous, and jent that the project met with the en- thusinstic approval of those present, and would be sustained by their hearty co-operation. In fact the sentiment of the meeting was so unanimons that when Col. Robert Christy. was called upon for a speech he excused himself on the ground that he did not feel competent to address an andience when perfect unanimity prevailed. He always doubted his powers in the absence of an adversary. COMAUISSIONER DOUGLASS PESIDED. Commissioner Douglass presided and made one of his happy little speeches, which started the enthusiasm and gave the keynote to the entire proceedings. He said that the Com- missioners were willing to do everything in their power to bring the veterans of the late war here next year. He believed it was a pub- lic movement of the right kind, and that the Grand Army men would not only like to come be here, but’ that the citizens would to give ‘them a__ hospitable ception. Mr. Ros A. Fish was chi secretary, and then Col. Christy, from the com- mittee appointed at. the proliminary mee held a week aga to select « committee to subscriptions toward a guarantee fund, which will be the basis upon which the invitation will be extended, submitted a report, which was read by the ‘secretary. The report gave alist of names of representative citizens, aud their selection was at once approved by the meeting. ‘The name of ex-Commissioner Webb wasadded. ‘The seeretary read letters of following, who had been invited to be prese1 and address the meeting: James I \ Rey.

He responded in a very effective mauner. He stid that he had been interested in the move- ment from the start and the more he thought about it the more he was inclined to. think it was a good thing for the city. believed that if people of the city once reached the conclusion that the en- eampment must be held her would then be settled, for whatever they un- dertook they accomplished. He then discussed the advantages to the city of having such an assemblage here.

For himself and for his asso- cintes on the board of District Cominissioners he pledged any effort that could contribute to the success of this movement. MR. M. I. WELLER'S INDORSEMENT. Commissioner loss’ stirring speech evoked a round of applause, and after it had subsided the chairman called on Mr. M. I. Weller, who said that he had come to the meeting for the purpose of indorsing the entire project. He shared fully the views so eloquently expressed 8. He added that in this mutter, if patriotic motives could not influence action, then selfish motives should. At any rate the encampment should be held here. This city is the only large city in this country where the visitor can feel at home. In illustration of his tory of a friend who in Chicago by making inquiries from persons he met on the street. ‘The response ‘No speaks English” was 60 gen- eral that he despaired of getting the needed in- formation until he met a policeman. He told the latter of the difficulties he had enconn- tered and the officer in a rich brogue sympa- thetically replied that the city was full of blasted foreigners. In this city Mr. Weller said that there would be no difficulty of that kind, and, in addition, there is no turbulent element here. It ix the grand city of the conn- try and the place for the annual meeting of the Grand Army. ‘The advantages of the city in its proximity to the battle fields of the war was commented upon by Col. Daniel Grosvenor, the next speaker. In addition, he said he knew of no place where the veterans could be #0 welland cheaply entertained and no place where they would rather come. The sentiment in the Grand Army, he said, was largely in favor of holdin; the encampment here, and all that was needed Was an invitation. ‘The next speaker, Mr. McKee of the Grand Army, had no doubt that this city would be the place selected by the Grand Army if an effort was made to raise a fund and extend a hearty invitation. COMMANDER PIPES’ EARNEST TALK. At the lust encampment Capt. Pipes, the commander of the Departmentof the Potomac, said the impression prevailed that Washington was not prepared for the encampment. He was glad to know that now the city was ready, and when that fact is made known to the encamp- ment then they will say we are ready to go to Washington. If this movement is pushed as it has been begun there is no doubt of success, ‘The boys of the Grand Army, he xaid, are in fhe habit when spenking of this city to may “Our capital.” wy want to come and see their city. ‘They have not been here since the wa 1@ Grand Army here will unite with the citizens in making this movement a success, vigorous speech was made by J.

Supposing the articles had been lost by some one he picked them up and gave the flour to his neighbor, Mrs. John McKernan. ‘The flour was made into bread and directly after eating of it the whole iy was taken seriously ill, und one little y, aged ten years, died in’ short time. Some of the remnants of the bread was given to the chickens and the hogs on the premises and all died. Mr. and Mrs. McKernan are critically ill, as are also the three remaining boys. Their recovery is doubtful. The affair has occasioned the greatest excitement in the locality and the state's attorney has gone to Park Hill to thoroughly investigate the matter. It is generally conceded that the poison was for Mr. Sheiter’s family, and it is believed by the neighbors to have been left in the field by the same person who killed off Mr. Sheffler's horses by poison some time ago and just about ear ago burned his barn. Hannah Barnhart, a bright and interesting little girl, aged thirteen years, the daughter of Mr. A. B. Barnhart, dry goods merchant of this city, was found dead in bed yesterday morning. At o'clock p.m. the night previous she retired with her sister in her usual health. Being sub- Ject to spasms at tines, i is supposed that dar- ing the throes of one ‘she rolled over on her face and smothered without a struggle or ery. Col. Geo. B.

The “heated term,” extending over a large Portion of the United States, June 15, 16and 17, and the change and redaction of temperature Jon the i8th presents a fine meteorological study. Years ago or even without the light of the present, snch phenomenon could not be understood nor intelligently discussed. And | Fet many still ignore the light and thereby ox. pose their ignorance, when with their intell!- gence they might readily grasp the principles that govern these atmospheric conditions, and even more, they might readily become readers of the signs and thereby prophets themselves. As often stated in these columns the source from which this wonderful information can be £0 readily obtained is the weather map so con- spicuously placed about the city. After ®o much has been written it would seem unneces- enter largely into the details of “high” “low:” enough to repeat the general state- t “high” is the cool, dry factor, and “low” is the wet factor, and’ cold or warm in proportion to its latitude, and that the status of these factors likewise have a controlling influence in making what we term “the weather.” ‘The more intense the “high” the colder it will be (for the season); the more intense the “low” the more general and intense will the storm be. By a “general storm” we mean a condition of precipitation over an ex- tended area, say of 500 miles or more. By “local storms” we mean those conditions, far more frequent in summer than in winter, that take place here and there over a wide ‘area. The atmospheric condition for a “locale” is a relatively Ligh latitude “low,” with a moderate “high” to the south. Thirty inches pressure f the atmosphere is, say, normal. A moderate would be 30.1” to 30’.3”, an intense 30°6” and upward. The moderate will be 29.9. The intense “low” .4” and downward Humidity is one of the essential features of “low,” aud when it is upon us the atmosphere in “close” and oppressive. When a “high” is approaching or upon us the atmosphere is “clear” and “bracing.” making a murderous assault on Roscoe Jack- son on last Saturday night, were brought here yesterday and lodged in jail in default of $200 | bail each for a hearing on the 2d of July next. | This late date for a hearing was fixed at the ro- | quest of the prisoners, who expect to give bail and be free to work during harvest., This morning John Bowen, another colored” man, was brought here, charged with the same | offense, and gave bailfor his appearance at a | hearing on the same date as the others.

S.A M. cadence ENE CLASS DAY AT HARVARD, Exercises at Sanders’ Theater, Followed by the Usual Spreads. Nature frowned upon the celebration of class day at Harvard University yester- day. The morning broke cold and gray, but as the day advanced the sun made such gallant efforts to break’ through the bank of clouds that the hearts of the seniors, which had began to despond, were con- siderably hgitened, and the program of the morning was strietly’carried out. The first act of the senior class was the assembly in front of Holworthy Hall at 9 o'clock, whence the line of march was taken to Appleton Chape!. Here prayers were offered by Rev. Francis G. Peabody, D.D., after which the class proceeded to the residence of President Charles W.Elliott and breakfasted, according to traditional cus- tom. At 10:45 the seniors again assembled in front of Holworthy to march to Sanders’ Theater, where the literary part of the day's exercises were held. The anditormm was crowded with the friends and relatives of the graduat class. After prayer by Rev. Dr. Peabody the oral of the day was delivered by Mr. Charles Wesley Willard of Montpelier, Vt. ‘The oration was a | thoughtful, earnest’ production, and was | delivered ' in the impressive manner | which has gained the speaker a wide reputation asa finished college orator. class poem by Mr. Hugh McCulloch of Howard- | ville, had been looked forward to with? grect interest by a large part of the audience and frequent bursts of laughter and applause showed that the witty points of the poem were fully appreciated. The ivy orator, Mr. Arthur Boyleston Nich- olsof Boston, was warmly greeted as he stepped forward, after a selection by the band to de- liver the ivy oration. His allusions to some of the prominent characteristics of “1 were very appropriate and his hits at some of the meui- bers of the class were very bright and clever. The last number on the program was the singing of the class ode, written by Mr. Sewall Carroll Brackett of Jamaica Plains, to the tune of “Fair Harvard,” by the class. At the conclusion of the exercises in Sanders’ The The wind is fro . Lawrence valley, and when they do thus travel, say ona line ‘of 55 degrees to 60 degrees north latitude, the winds all over the eastern section of the United States are neces- sarily from the south. And if there is no very good or positive “high” in the southern por- tion of the United States these airs Irom the south will be warm, and as they come within the “low” limits will be more or less burdened with moisture and thereby engender that peculiar effect known as “close. Now, on these three days, the 151 ih of June, a moderate north “low” pre- vailed with the center way up in Canada, to- gether witha moderate “high” to the south and along the Atlantic seaboard. This was a period and a condition for locals, and they took place here and there all along the lines, accom- panied with more or less thunder and lightning. What would change this terrible condition? One of two conditions would accomplish it. Which would it be, the pressure of a “high” or a “low” ona lower line of latitude? The map of the 17th indicated no “high” near enough to make any material change, #0 there was little lope from that source. But in the meanwhile a “low” was espied march- ing on a lower line. At the 8 a m. observation of the 18th this new “low” cen- tered in Lllinoix, By 10:30 o'clock a.m. the effect was quite manifest in Washington, and as the day wore on and this “low” on this more middie line advanced, it produced its effect. By evening the thermomete? had fallen some 20 degrees’ and a good rain came, with a little thunder and lightning. Had it not been for the heat from the preceding north or high latitude low” we would not have had this little elec- trical display. It would seem that there was beauty enough in this grand system to induce more of the intelligent classes at least to in- | terest themselves in this wonderful illumina- tor —the weather map—whereby and only whereby we are enabled to know so much about the conditions of our atmosphere.
