The President and Mrs. Cleveland Spend q
Day Studying the Beauties and Prospec-

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE President
and Mrs. Cleveland drove out to Forest
Hill yesterday afternoon, and spent sew
eral hours studying the beauties of Mr..
Cleveland's purchase. Mrs. Hoyt and
the architect Of the contemplated i'm
provements at the cottage had preceded
them, and when the latter reached the
spot they found all the plans and speci-
fications spread out on the piazza for
their convenience. Mrs. Cleveland quick
ly left the details of the Improvements to
her husband, and with Mrs. HOyt made a
thorough exploration of the surrounding
grounds.
Several persons recognized the Presi-
dents equipage from the Tennallytown
road, and attempted to obtain admittance
to the grounds, but Policeman Meyers
was too vigilant, and promptly warned all
tresspassers to keep off the grounds.
Arrangements had been made for serving
dinner at the house, and as there was no
necessity for returning to the White
House until late in the evening the stone
house was not deserted until some time
after inset, the return trip being made
by way of the Rock Greek and Pierce
Mills road.
Few persons knew of the contemplated
trip, and there was neither bother nor
molestation by curiosity during
the drive.
Secretary Bayard, who was ont for q
horseback ride, learned of the presence
of the President at the country-place soon
after he had passed, and he Immediately
cantered his horse back and paid his re-
spects to the party.

jumped into the water and rushed

In dark rooms and dingy cellars,
in secret conclaye, he deyises his
plans and mixes his drugs. By
night and by day he draws out the
catalogues Of crime. With hands
polluted with blood, and locks that
wriggle and crawl and hiss; with
purpose fixed for slaughter, and
with heart IMPLYING and unrelent-
ing, he presses his internal work.
With the gold his crimes have
brought him he seeks to secure
friends in the halls Of legislation,
to put his judges upon the bench,
his advocates at the bar, his wit
nesses on the stand and to make
surety doubly sure, his views in
the public mind. He would con-
troll, if he could, not only our
alms-houses and prisons, but also
our Legislative halls and our public
presses. He would fill not only
our sells and graveyar Dis, but also
our judgmentseats and our police
commissions. This Is our foe
cunning as a fox, wise as a serpent
strong as an OK, bold as a lion
merciless as a tiger, remorseless as
a hyena, fierce as pestilenc, dead
ly as plague. To condemn and
correct such a criminal is not the
pastime of an hour, but the manly,
hero-born, martyr bred work of
years. Bishop c. H. FOioIer,D d. D.

Some years ago the yacht, Mo-
hawk, sunk in New York bay.
Upon that vessel Mr. and Mrs.
Garner went down. In the disas-
ter heavy pigs of lead fell upon
her dress, and she was bruised and
locked in between heavy furniture.
The vessel was sinking, and her
husband was unable to release her.
Life was his, he was within stone
throw of shore, and he was a mill
ionaire. All had left the yacht,
the water was rising rapidly
around them, when, taking the
loving wife of his bosom by the
hand, he said: "My darling, if |
cannot take you with me, I'll go
with YOU" and they went down to-
gether beneath whelming waters,
one in life and one III death. Mr..
Garner wore his manhood as a
garment, and carried in his breast
heart of devotion and love that
had been lighted by a blaze from
the upper throne. Who was Mrs.
Garner? Although kid-gloyed and
daintily clad, and possessor of Il
fortune, she was no mere woman
of the period Mr.. Gardner had

votion to her, that richly merited
all the love he bestowed upon her.

Mr.. POWDERLY has been ham,
mering out some solid chains Of
logic and common sense before the
Labor Convention at Richmond
the past week, that are a convinc-
ing proof Of his standing as a mas
ter workman in political economy
as we'll as mechanics. To the
senseless chatter about the social
inequality of the colored man, he
administered fitting rebuke that
deserves to be preserved among
the utterance of statesmen. We
have seen nothing better this
year than the closing words of his
address on the civil rights of labor,
and quote it a? worthy of the
notice of every citizen. "To the
convention l say let no member
surrender an iota of intellectual
freedom because of any clamor.
Hold fast to that which is true and
right. The triumph of noise over
reason is transient. Ourpr inciples
will be better known; if not to-day,
it may be tomorrow. They can
bide their time, and will some day
have the world for an audience.
In the field of labor and American
citizenship we recognize no line or
racre, creed, politics or color The
demagogue may distort for q pur-
pose the words of others and for q
time the noise Of the vocal loss
may silence reason; but that which
is right and true will become
known when the former has passed
to rest and the sound Of the latter's
VOICE has forever died away.
Then it will be known that the in
telligent, educated man is better
qualified to discern the difference
between right and privilege, and
the unwritten law of social equality
will be more rigidly observed than
it is to-day"

Attacking Sin in It's Strong hold

The Little Rock Democrat
speaks as follows of Rev. james
Lokey and his meetings at Little
Rock:
Evangelist Lokey is conducting
a very successful revival meeting
in the new church on Capital Hill.
The people listen to his sermons
with great INTEREST, and many have
been moved to accept the obliga-
tons of better life. There have
been a number of professions, and
the good work goes on night after
night. Mr.. Jockey is man of
great simplicity and power, and is
bold in his denunciations of sin,
and earnest and gentle in his
pleading with sinners. He is
manifestly i'll earnest about. saving
men, and under the blessings of
God, and with the faithful CO.
operation of those who are inter
ested in the evangelization of the
people of this City, he will &C
complish great good.
Indeed there Is reason for the
faith that the city is on the eve Of
a great religious awakening. The
congregations are getting too large
for the new church, and the meet
ings will be transferred to the
Main street church some time
within the next week. Let the
people turn out and hear Mr..
Jockey and give him the support
to which he is Justly entitled.
