HID.-LOvE IN A COTTAGE.
The President and His Bride 300 Feet
Above tho sea-A DrizzIing
Rain-DOmestic Bliss.

DEER PARK, Md, y une The PreBt'
dent and his bride of twenty. four hours
spent the first day of their honeymoon
| ZOO feet above the sea, in one of the
I most beautiful and romantic parts of
Maryland. They are at cottage stu.
ated about fifty yards from the Deer
Park Station, ard have of course been
the centre of interest TO all persons liv.
ing within radius of ten miles. The
run from Washington was made in
about six hours, and just at day break
| this morning the train stopped at a point
about 100 yards from the station, and
in front of the maiu drive.
| In o special car attached to the train
were John W. Davis, President Gar
rett's assistant, and Charles Selden,
superintendent Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company. The two
carriages sent from Washington were
IN waiting when the party arrived, and
drizzlinR rain was falling when Presi
Ideut and Mrs. Cleveland left their car
The drive to the cottage occupied but a
few minutes, and until after noon there
was no sign of either the bride or
groom.
The cottage is No. Q, and is situated
within 100 feet of Robert Garrett's pri
vate cottage, with the chapel of the little
village about the same distance on the
other side. The house is built iu Queen
Aune style, with peaked roof and con =
tains ten rooms 1t sits on knoll and
commands picturesque view. A porch
runs half around the house. and the
dining room is at the rear. No cooking
is done in the house, all meals being
prepared at the hotel near by. When
the party entered the house cheerful
fire was blazing brightly on the hearth,
and made Q pleasant contrast TO the
chilly atmosphere without. The house
is guarded by twelve detectives, who
are required to know nothing, and the
admonition is hardly necessary as not a
word will they utter on any subject.
Mr.. Davis said that the President had
strictly enJoined secrecy before he
would consent to come here, and the
company had tried to give him as much
/ privacy as possible. He will not even
receive mail, and does not intend to see
any one during his stay. He will Ger
tainly remain here until Saturday, and
Iprobably until Monday. The train on
which he came is still here at his ser.
vice in case he should take notion to
leave at any time.
/ The season at Deer Park does not
lopen until June 18th, consequently but
few people are here. Those who have
Iarrived are ex Senator Davis, wife and
son, five children of Mrs. Stephen B.
4 Elkins, j. W. Williams, of Philadel
lphia, and Mrs. Hollenbeck and three
ohildren, of Baltimore. The bridal
lparty Is attended by French maid,
the Presidents valet and two colored
lservapts. Their baggage consisted o;
-four large trunks and two boxes. Mrs.
ICleveland brought only such garments
as would insure com fort, but the Presi.
ldent brought with him fishing suit
land outfit. He will commence his
Ipiscatorial sport to morrow.
The finest trout stream in the ALLIE
phenies is on the property ofex Senator
DaviE near by. 1t is guarded jeal-
ously, and the President has been given
1.-THE privilege of using it.
q 1t is said that party will be here
from Washington to morrow to get uI
some amusement, but the President
i. explicitly refuses to see any company.
i, There was DO stir about the "Execu-
tive Mansion" until nearly noon, wi en-
the President came out on the porticC
for a moment and then went inside.
: Two ladies drove slowly by about Il
3 o'clock, evidently intending to call
CuhukCu LuClE WnOn buiu
that they could not approach the
1 house.
The West Virginia M. f. Conference
which has been in session here for seve.
raj days, passed resolution appointing
o committee of five to wait on the Presi
dent and ask for an interview. Som,
!, one suggested that the committee be in
!. Istructed to congratulate and kiss tn
Q bride. A m ember suggested that, a
Mr.. Elkins had arranged for the pri
vscy of the Presidential party, hi
wishes should be respected, but anothe
. said that, as Mr.. Elkins was not friend
ly to Mr.. Cleveland during the cam
IpaiRn, his wishes should have no weigh
vs. with Democrats. Quite y discussion
followed, but the committee was finall
lappointeG and request for an inter
view was sent by special messenger, bu

been honored by reply.
