a Promise Made by the Bride tn Ex- senator
Davis Daughter In Naples
a letter has been received by n lady In
Washington from Miss Jennie Davis, the cx-
senator's daughter, in which 1t IL explained
why tho president selected Deer Park ~ the
place for spending his honeymoon. Up to
Decoration Day, which the president passed
In New York, no had decided on no place,
but Immediately after his return To Washing
ton on Tuesday Col. Lamont hurried down
to Wash Majors and ordered two carriages
tn be shipped at once to Deer Park. Tho
whole matter had been settled by Miss Fol-
som when the president saw her on Decora-
ton Day, and this is how 1t all came about AS
explained In the aforesaid letter
While Miss Folsom and her mother were
Mt Naples during their recent European trip,
they met Miss Jennie Davis and the three
spent much time together, the girls bocom-
ing fast friends About this time the mar
riage of the president and Miss Folsom
began to toe talked about and the news
reached Naples, surprising Miss Davis
greatly, as her new friend had never even
mentioned the presidents name to her.
One day Miss Davis asked Miss Folsom II
the reports were true. The latter evaded the
question by ing something about "those
foolish newspaper stories
"Well, them" said Miss Davis, Z" VIII you
answer this question IL you do marry Pres
lNtut NlltNNlAuti, VIII Ntu
the honeymoon up at Deer Park with me ?"
Miss Folsom could not say 80 without Inn
plying that the marriage was enough of "a
possibility to merit consideration, so she said
iaughingiy Yes, II fanything of that Kind
ever occurs, l will go to Deer Park"
Soon afterSard they parted. Miss Davis
returning direct to America, and Miss Fol-
som going To Paris 10 see about the wedding
OUTFIT. When the public announcement OF
the marriage was made Miss Davis wrote To
Mi.a Eplantp N bipu hpr N tho nrpmi.a N
made In Naples and saying that she was eX-
pected at Deer Park. The letter was received
last Monday, the same day the president
called on his betrothed in New York. The
rest Of the story needs no telling, when 1t Is
remembered that rs soon ~ the president
reached Washington he ordered the car
risges 10 be sent To Deer Park.
The president and Mrs. Cleveland Satur-
day afternoon, having taken luncheon with
the Davis family, took their troutiishng
trip, but In stead OF numbering some of eN-
Senator Davis pets--whch could only have
been done in plain view o., the thirty or more
newspaper correspondents-they drove To
Deep creek, some nine miles from Deer
Park, where Mr.. T. Harrison Garrett has
"preserved" about three miles of rather
pretentious stream. While Mr.. Davis pro-
tects his trout for tho purpose OF looking at
them, Mr.. Garrett cultivates the speckled
beauties for the fun of catching them.
Mr.. DsLoder one OF the fish CON-
inissioners of Maryland, makes II his
especial care to see that Mr.. CARROTS
preserve IL kept well stocked, and young
land locked salmon as well "a trout are lib
orally supplied. But Deep creek is by no
means an ideal trout stream. Although It's
courseis through the heart of the AlleRhanies
1t IL little more than canal in appearance.
The "gladcs" of the mountains are compSra-
lively level, aud for much of its length Deep
creek takes q tortuous course through low,
swampy land aud its bed il often cumbered
with logs and driitwood. The timber an d
bushes have been cleared from one side o
the creek, and path has been made along
its margin, that MIR. Garrett and the
guests he delights To entertain Mt Deer
creek cottage can fish without being sub
iected To the hardship OF tramp over rough
ground.
v,Both the president and Mrs. Cleveland en-
gagged in the sport, and the former was Yer J
successful. Mrs. Cleveland, however, not
being expert in the art Of game fishing, wa
unable TO land fish although she haC
several opportunities The lady is not dis
posed tn give up on one trial, and will try
again. Upon their return To the cottage they
we're driven by the postoiiice, where they
stopped tor moment Upon reaching thu
house the president after assisting Mrs
Cleveland out of the carriage, called 10 thu
guards, and one or two correspondents wht
where sitting on bridge, to come up anC
see what n line catch they had made and ex
hibited in n basket twelve or nit en elegant
trout. The president appeared to be very
proud OF his success, and according to hi'
determination, "a Expressed, he will doubt
less try tho sport again during Colonel La
