tage he. had this year for every sum
mer as long as he lived.
SENATOR SALISBURY
of Delaware and his niece arrived at
the United States Hotel on Saturday.
He always makes visit to Saratoga in
August, but Is later than usual this
year. AS is his habit whenever he
meets unmarried ladies with whom he
Is well acquainted. he jokes them about
their not getting married, so as to pro.
yoke retort in kind.
MADAME DoNAPARTE
and her little daughter have been at the
United States Hotel since last Saturday.
Nine. Bonapartc says she came here
'to get warm" as Newport has been
so cold, just as Saratoga also has been,
and Washington, too, for that matter.
Fortunately when Nine. Bonaparte ar
rived here she found II warm aud dry,
which was pleasant change from the
Newport fogs. She had not been here
since her childhood. Her last visit was
with her grandmother, the wife of
Daniel Webster.
1t is just as l predicted when the
series of cool summers began two or
three years ago; people are actually be-
ginning to search for warm watering
place, and no longer brag of the eXces-
sive cold at their favorite resort.
While some have come here, as Nine
Bonapartc did, to get warm, others
have gone away because the tempera-
ture here was too low.
