WHERE PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WILL SPEND
THE SUMMER.
If the reports as to where President Cleve-
land will spend the Summer weeks have any
truth in them he must be gifted with ubiquity
to marvellous extent The managers of Sum-
mer resorts from one end of the country to the
other have for the last month or two been
assiduously circulating reports that he will be
their guest. The truth is that although Presl-
dent Cleveland has received many invitations
to spend portions of the Summer away from
the city. he has not yet positively decided on
any course; but the chances are that he VIII,
with the exception of two or three weeks, spend
the entire Summer at the White House.

VISITORS TO THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE OFFICE.
Maj. MeKellop, formerly of the 9th Nd.
and now a successful lawyer and enthusiastic
Grand Army man at Westminster, Nd, was in
the city last week on an errand of comrade-
ship. He interested himself in the case of a
poor Bavarian, who enlisted in a Maryland
regiment and almost before he had time to
form any acquaintance, went into battle with
it Oh the nights beyond Alexandria, where he
received permanent disability from wound
by piece of shell. The man was unable to
speak any English and had no friends. There
seemed to lac fatality attending the matter,
for after Maj. Mekeliop became interested in
the case, he secured the services of fellow
countryman of the wounded man to make the
necessary investigations, and the man was sue
cessful in obtaining the necessary proof; but
just hefore he had it in shape to put in written
form he dropt dead of heart disease and all the
work had to be done over again. Now. at the
end of nearly % years from the time the dis
ability was incurred, Maj. McKellop begins to
see fair chance that his labors will be re-
warded and his friend receive his long waited
for pension.
