The Way in Which President Cleveland Serves
His Guests at Dinner.
Washington Dispatch to New York World
Although not very fond of social gatherings
the President is nevertheless a good host and a
connosseur in wines He is fond of Hockheimer
wine and Saint Julien claret the only wines he
uses at his meals, but when he has guests, no
matter howfew, there is full service of wines,
commencing with Chabs and ending with cham
payne Of the best brands. There is as good a
stock of wine in the Presidents cellar as
any gentleman would want and there
is some rare old Madeira and port which he
brought here from Albany. Although he is not
fond of wine of a particularly heavy nature,
still the President knows all that he should
about liquors, and his wine cellar will compare
favorably with that of his predecessor Some
of the wine that he serves out on special occa-
sions is over thirty years old, and at recent
dinner a guest who had dined with President
Arthur asked the President if he had been for
tunate enough to secure some of the Charleston
Jockey Club champagne, which had been a
feature at Mr.. Arthurs dinners. In reply the
President said he thought not as President Ar
thur had moved all his choicest wines to New
York city before inauguration day. The Presi-
dent has to furnish his own liquors. and in order
to keep respectable wine cellar he is put to
considerable expense.

Perfectly Satisfied that He Has Finally Found

Philadelphia Record.
John W. Kelly, with his side whiskers closely
clipped, his face not so rotund as usual, and
weighing eighteen pounds less than he did six
months ago, sat down yesterday to tell Record
reporter of his latest discovery. AS he related
the story the discoverers eyes sparkled and a
beam of satisfaction spread over his face when
he remarked: II have at last attained the work
of my life have discovered the power which
for years sought, and feel perfectly satisfied
now that my discoveries and inventions can go
forth to the world. For six months I have
worked fourteen and eighteen hours day.

was locked in my workshop. My new engine is

six times than gunpowder. Indeed, by multi

project has been FIVE years under way, and
is now near to a result. The marble is on the
premises, and unyeiing ceremonies will be held
next month The fund of $4,000 was completed
four years ago by means of a theatrical per-
formance in which Mccullough, Jefferson,

took parts. The order for the sculpture was
given to r. Ell. Park, an American artist resident
in Florence. Italy, and his work arrived short
time ago. Mccullough was member of the
committee having the matter in charge. During
