from Our Regular correspondent.
Washington, Nov %, 1886.
But little more than year ago the White
House, Capitol, Executive Department and
other public buildings here were dra ped in
mourning for dead Vice President. Now
again they are draped for the deceased ex-
President and flags all over the city droop
at half mast. The emblems of mourning
will remain up for month, and will post
pone for time the projected entertainments
at the White House.
1t was the intention of the President and
Mrs. Cleveland to open the Mansion i'm
mediately after the opening .of Congress.
but nothing akin to gayety has ever taken
place there when the house is in mourning.
Nor will the President accept invitations
for the time, even to the houses of members
of his Cabinet.
Hon. George Bancroft, the historian,
gave an elegant banquet on Friday evening
in honor of the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land, but they withdrew their acceptances
out of respect for the late ex-President. It
is not customary and wonld not be good
form for the President to attend enter tain
ments while his official home is draped in
black. Unlike his predecessor, who enter
ed with zest into the social life of the Cap
ital and mingled freely with unofficial 30
ciety whenever occasion offered, Mr.. Cleve-
land has so far only once departed from
his determination not to accept invitations
outside of his Cabinet. This was when he
dined with Commissioner Webb fort
night ago. He has claimed as his excuse

for this seeming exclnsiveness, lack of time
and pressure of business.
MIR. Arthur was by far the most social
President of the twenty three who have oc
cupied the White House. The care of State
weighed heavily upon him and he plunged
into the socisl world of the Capital in order
to find relief He turned night into day,
scarcely ever retiring before 2 o'clock A.
NJ, and it WAS a matter Of surprise to those
who observed his habits that he was able TO
serve ort his official term. His health was
deploraLly broken long before he left Wash
ington, and he fully realized the fact. He
Was very popular here, and his fine man.
ners, dignitied bearing, and kindly genial
disposition made him a central figure at
every social gathering.
President Cleveland, with several memb-
ers of the Cabinet, Senatorial Committee
appointed by Senator Sherman. and a
Congressional committee designated by
Speaker Carlisle, went to the ex-President's
funeral.
Speaking of symbols of mourning sug-
ges,s question of etiquette concerning the
White House flag. A naval officer of wide
experience in such matters noticed it at
half mast and asked if President Cleveland
was dead. He said the display of the flag
at half mast would convey this impression
to any person familiar with such symbols.
According TO this authority the national
flag should be displayed over the Execu-
tive Mansion at half mast only when the
President himself is dead The national
character of the building should be indicat-
ed by the display of the flag at all times,
from sunrise to sunset, but on the death of
the President it should droop at half mast.
The city is rapidly filling up for the
winter. Every train brings some politician
or lobbyist or General or Judge or Senator
or representative, and Congress is only
two weeks off.
There is feeling of satisfaction among
the officers of the army at the appointment
OF Col. Moore to be Surgeon General OF the
Army, although there was large number
Of applicants for the place. The .naming
of COL Moore. who come here from San
Francisco, is said to be in measure due
fact that he never tried to secure il:

land to appoint the man who doesn't try"
Brigadier General Miles, the veteran In

friends were properly dealt with, and says
Gov. Znlics of Arizona is also satisfied with
the disposition made with them. Their
surrender was absolute, but they threw
themselves upon the mercy of their captors
in the hope that by so doing their lives
might be spared,

What is Cider.

Cider is a drink made from the
juice Of apples. Like beer and wine
it seems to have been first made be-
fore the historic period. 1t was an
early English drink. said to have
been introduced by the Romans. In
this country it was probably made
as soon as apples became abundant.
l. was common in Pennsylvania
about 1850. 1t is at present time
very much made and used in New
England and the Middle States, and
in some parts of the South and West,
and many families still consider it
an essential part of their winter
stores
Sometimes apples are raised for
this special purpose, such as the
Harrison, Garfield, and Smith cider
apples. the qualities required being
small size, high flavor, and ahund.
ance of juice. Commonly, however
only small and imperfect apples
such as are unfit for drying, cooking
and dessert use, are made into cider.
These are usually thrown in with
very little ceremony, and carried off
to the cider-mill and ground up,
with no attempt at cleaning or sort
ing out those which are muddy,
wormy or decayed.
The mills for ma shing or grinding
the apples and for pressing out the
juice, are commonly simple affairs
sometimes standing under q rude
shed in the orchard and run by hand.
formerly they were conspicuous oh
jects on every large farm, and the
farmers were usually very generous
in permitting their nelghoors TO
share in their use.
Of late years they are more ire
quently run by water, or portable
machine. of patent make and smaller
proportion is used, which does both
pressing and grinding on small
scale. The pulp is not entirely ex-
hausted by the first pressure; 1t is
often reground with water and press
ed again.
The juice as it comes forth from
the press looks turbid, which is part
ly due to che small specks of apples
which settle or are worked off by
fermentation. On putting the juice
into casks or barrels it soon begins
to ferment, though this depends
much upon the temperature. If 1T is
desired to have it ferment rapidly, 1t
is put in the sunshine or some other
warm place, but, sweet or fermented,
it is cider until it is changed into
vinegar or man ufactured into some
other drink, Large quantities are
manufactured into champagne.

Ha,nIet,s reception in Arizona.

When they don't like play in Arizona,
they don't like it, no matter who was its

Hamlet in an Arizona town, and the fol-

played dizzy snap called Hamlet We
never heard of the drama before and we
never want to see it again. 1t is the snidest
thing in the way of a show we ever fell
up against. There amt no horses, singing,
fighting or dancing in the whole blamed
shebang. There was a lively dog fight in
the middle of the play that was a great
success. The actors were not killed, but
the duck that played Hamlet was tarred
and feathered. He viii recover"

S1r. Kelley and the Duke of 1Iaumes.



William Kelley is a large, powerful man,
with considerable experience in the handling
Of horses and cattle. On Friday last he was
sent by the poor board to Beaver to bring
back the Jersey bull, Duke of Maumee,
recently purchased to be placed on the poor
farm. The animal cost considerable money,
and Mr.. Kelley was loaded down with eau
tons as to how he must care for him, and
not let his charge come to any injury. Mr..
Kelley lassoed the bovine, and placing a
snapper in his nose, tied rope to it and
led the bull to the train
The animal was placed in an ordinary
freight car and tied to a ring in one end.
Naturally very ugly and excitable, the bull
got almost frantic with the noise and motion
Of the train. Kelley dared not leave him,
and remained in the car Within ten min
utes of the start the bull broke the rope with
which he was tied close up to the ring in the
nose. The train was running along pretty fast,
and Kelley was afraid that the animal would
jump from the car, and so tried to keep him
In one corner. Then the bull seemed to
think that possibly Mr.. Kelley would jump
from the car, and so he turned and drove
the gentleman into the opposite corner.
Then the Jersey Taurus seemed to be struck
with the idea that if he lifted Mr.. Kelley up
through the roof it would be safer for all
concerned. Mr.. Kelley naturally objected,
and some twenty minutes was spent in very
much the same position a couple of marbles
would take in a RAPIDLY revOlved pan.
Finally Mr.. Kelley succeeded in getting
hold of the ring in the nose of the gentleman
from Beaver, and to this he chung When
the bull would get FESTIVE and try to shake
him loose, people along the line thought it
was thunder. Kelley started out to save
the bull, but inside of twenty minutes would
have given $50 to save himself. He finally
half tired the animal out, so that he would
stand pretty quiet except when the train
would stop. Then the bull would lead Mr.
Kelley up and down the car few times for
exercise. Kelley says it was so dark that
he could only see the animals eyes and
white spot on the end of his tail The two
eyes, he says, looked like coach lamps. At
CHARTERS the train stopped. A tramp came
along, and, seeing the car door open, climbed
in to steal ride.
''Here, you,'' said Kelley "Got matchF'
Eyes," said the tramp, as he produced the
lucifer.
For Gods sake light it and help me tie
this bull, sad Kelley.
The tramp, getting the location of the
pair, soon helped Kelley tie him, and tie
rampant bovine rode into Pittsburg in the
gray of the morning quiescent.
