| saw the Presidents son in the Jer.
sey City depot on Sunday night. 1t
was a few minutes before midnight,
and the passengers were hurrying out to
The "owp tram. Young Arthur was
asleep in the wating-roOm when L first
saw rim. 1t took considerable shaking
to wake him up, and when the gate
man asked him where he wanted TO go
he muttered in nalf-bewildeled way,
"Princeton Junction, and grabbing his
two handbags of alligator skin, he
rushed out to the train which was on
the eve of starting.
He is a tall, dignilled youth, over six
feet, and quite thin, with a complexion
as fair as lily. | should judge he is
probably twenty years old, although he
has the face OF a boy Of fifteen. No
amount of cOaXing has resulted in any
sign of mOustache, but on the sides
of his face tiny little "sideboards" reach
ing down to the lower part of his ears
are to be seen. He was dressed in full
evening dress, black dress coat with
faded rose in the upper button-hole Of
the left lapel, pure white vest with
white buttons, and jet black pantaloons,
with half-inch silken stripe running
down the outside Of either leg. A
iaunty little chOker collar and tiny
white tie hid his thin, long neck. Only
q small, plain gold stud adorned his
shirt bosom, and pair of gold mono
gram cuff:buttons, showed themselves
below his coat sleeves. He wore no
finger-rings, ami no wstch-chain was
visible. He also wore the latest, most
correct style of tile, black silk, low
crown, and deep roll brim, and a dark
bottle. green, "full English" overcoat,
reaching to his knees.
He got In "sit-up" coach, but found
| it too warm for him, and Conductor
| Williams took him into cooler car,
where the distinguished-lo young
traveller made pillow of his "full,En-
glish" coat and his two hand sachels,
| and in less than two minutes he fell
into a heavy sleep. He slept very
heavily, and II took deal of shaking
by the brakeman to wake him up at
| Princeton Junction. When the Presi-
den's son alighted from the train at
half.past two Monday morning, a col
| ored coachman with blanket on his
arm and 8 whip in his hand took the
young mans hand bags, and the tall
| young student OF ITlnCetOu Steppeu
into q carriage, and with the sinking
moon shining in on his face started for
q three mile drive to the college in the
bleak morning air.
Young Arthur has pleasing, must.
cal voice, and every word comes from
his mouth clearly cut. He would at
tract attention anywhere, and his gentle
high-bred manner would win him
| friends In palace or mining camp.
He has the good taste not to assert in
his carriage that he Is the Presidents
son. II he develops into robust man
like his father and builds up robust
brain, he can aspire to anything, for
what youth In all the universe hiss o
! greater chance in the race for fame,
honor, and a'noble name than the son
of President see young Arthur oc-
casionally en- the Washington express;
ne travels generally on trip pass, and,
for one so young and inexperienced in
the ways of the world, he is good
traveller, and q young man who has
| evidently received and profiied By a
fathers love and mothers care.
