Mr.. ClEvELAND'S WAY.
How He Contrives to Get Through witt
so Much Businpss.


Much of the Presidents success in get
ting through with so much work lies in
his systematic methods of work. The
Washington correspondent of the Indian
apolis Ne,os says that his every day life,
both public and private. is a marvel of
system and method. He has so arranged
his time and his efforts that there is no
clashing. He has his hours for working,
and when they are over he stops work.
In this way he is enabled to keep his APP
pointments promptly and to keep himself
in good working condition. He rises ut u
reasonably early hour and is always ready
for breakfast, which is fixed for o. clock.
He has never missed his mornings meal
nor been even late to it since he has been
in the White House, and he expects the
same punctuality from those who sit at
the table with him. Almost Immediately
of the day, and after attending TO import
ant letters or other matters which are
brought to his attention, he begins TO re-
ceive callers. Before O'clock he has his
rooms pretty well cleared, having disposed
of visitors. This is about the hour when
his predecessor began to receive callers.
President Cleveland then goes down
stairs and gives audience to the general
visitors who may be waiting in the East
Room. AT half-past o'clock lunch is
served, and no one aftcrward is admitted
to his presence except by appointment.
Thus he has time ut his disposal to see
delegations or to shut himself in his office
for the consideration of important mat
ters requiring his attention and to take his
customary afternoon drive Dinner is
served promptly at o'clock.
The evenings are devoted TO the relaXa-
tion of conversation or to the considera-
ton of business, iiist as it happens. The
above is the regular daily routine at the
White House, and from il there is no de-
Walton. AS Q consequence, everybody
connected Whit the house knows ,lustw
to do and Just when TO do it, The Presi-
dent himself has been enabled to stand
the strain upon him for the past few
months remarkably well. lie is looking
in fine condition. and seems perfectly
well Since he has been an occupant Of
the White House he has not been sick
once. 't-t".
1t is comparatively easy to secure an an
dience with President Cleveland. He is
willing TO give everybody . chance. All
who approach him are pleased with the
cordially aud ease of manner with which
theyar received. He is always willing
TO listen to what is said to him, particu-
larly with reference to the affairs OF the
house, and this is pleasant to tlcemployes.
A great deal of credit for this systematiz.
ing Of affairs at the White House is due to
Colonel Lamont, his private secretary.
who worked himself sick ina couple of
months His ways are the President s
ways,and the two understand each other
pcrlectly. s.H H'f''tt

We can understand very readily how Il

capital to operate on, is not so clear.
Yetit is related of the postmaster at
Bcrett, Carroll County, Md. who re.
r,ntly resigned because of his own ac-
knowlodgment that he was an offensive
partisan, that the income of his Office was
only Si7.SGin 1888 and probably did not
exceed that sum by more than five dollars
in 1884. This man may have imagined
himselfan offensive partisan and possibly

The New Hotel Project.

\ Mr.. Moore Of New York, representing
an association of capitalists, has been here
fora number of days looking over various
lots in the northwest part of the town
hunting for favorable location for Il
iirst-class hotel. II is said by the CORE
spondent of the New York Iforid that this
association is ready to invest at least two
millions ofdollars i'm this enterprise. If it
is constructed in accordance with modern
ideas and managed according to the New
York hotel standard 1t will certainly pay
a very handsome percentage upon the in
vcsument. There are fifty or sixty rich
families that come here every winter and
take furnished houses simply because
there are no adequate hotel accommoda-
tions for people used to luxurious modes
of life and lavish entertaining. 1t is said
that this new hotel association intends t.
put up building which shall cover an
entire block, leaving an interior court
large enough for special entertainments,
such as Inauguration balls and the like.
