DEER PARK, Nd, June Sin snug

station, and 1877 miles from Washington,
President Cleveland and his bride are en-
loving the first hours of their welded life.
A more picturesque spot could not be i'm
agined. On either side of the gladeS, as the
country for miles around is called, are seen

The country around Deer Park is a Sc
rieS of graceful slopes, and it Is one OF
them, to the east of the railway, that the
executive cottage stands at the rear OF a
bunch of cottages half hidden by the trees.
The cottage which the president occupies
is of the Queen Anne order with peaked
roof. and is situated on knoll, COM

the house are divided into three floors.

sent here on Tuesday by Wash Naylor Of
Washington waiting at the depot. The
trip was without incident and the president
and Mrs. CLEVELAND sat up until Washing

were not aroused till Piedmont was
reached. The president remarked, on

president and Mrs. Cleveland entered one
of the carriages, and st. Clair, the presi-
dents valet, two colored servants, and Mrs.
Cleveland's French maid entered the other.
Upon arriving at the cottage, blazing fire
was found burning in the sitting room and
the house was comfortably warm. The
furnishing OF the house are of simple yet
convenient pattern, and there is no display.
1t was not until noon that the president
and Mrs. Cleveland
MADE THEIR APPEARANCE
on the piazza. Just before they came out,
two ladies in phaeton drove slowly past
and acted as though they were on neigh
borhood visit. They did not stop, however.
and the president will decline to receive
any visitors. He will not even see a news
paper or open letters, and intends to have
quiet rest, which lie will not allow to be
broken. Between II and l o'clock Mr..
Davis went over to the cottage and
joined the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land, sitting on the piazza. Luncheon
was served at l o'clock and at $40 the
landau, drawn by four horses drew up in
front, and the president and his wife
entered and were driven toward Oakland,
returning by the way of Mountain Lake
and Deer Park village. Mrs. Cleveland
wore a cloth suit of light brown and a walk
ing hat. After returning to the house the
president and Mrs. Cleveland sat ON the
piazza OH the low rocking chairs and looked
at the beautiful landscape stretched out be-
fore them. MI. Davis returned
to Baltimore tonight, but the special
train will be left at the
disposal of the president so that he may
leave at any moment he desires. He and
Mrs. Cleveland will certainly remain until
Saturday and probably until Monday. A
ridiculous story reached here by telegraph.

had been hurt. The president was seen
and laughed at it when told. During the

OVER FIFTY TELEGRAMS
addressed to Mrs. Grover Cleveland were
received at the telegraph Office and sent up
to the cottage. They were receipted for by
st. Clair, who laid each as it came in a
basket was completely filled. None of the
kilograms were opened until o'clock, when
the president and Airs. Cleveland took seats
on the little piazza, at the front of the cot
tage, and the president opened the tele-
grams and read them aloud. They
proved to be from prominent society
people all over the country. All the
members of the cabinet sent hearty con-
gratulations, and the head of one of the
uptown departments addressed his mes
sage to Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Executive
Mansion, Deer Park" No mail was sent
up to the house, and, in fact none was re-
ceived at the station. Shortly after din
ner. which was served at o'clock, the pres
ident and Mrs. Cleveland started out for a
stroll. The president carried heavy
cane. and this he swung, knocked
pebbles out of the way with
it. and carried it across his
shoulders. Mrs. Cleveland was attired in a
mixed gray suit. with flowing panels and a
snug fitting jacket of the same material and
gray felt Scotch cap, walked with a
springy step and seemed in excellent spirits.
She stopped to pick flowers occasionally.
and the president and she stopped several
times while the former pointed out some
especial place of interest. In their walk
they passed the telegraph station, where
half dozen correspondents and telegraph
operators were at work. The president

hoped that he would not be followed and
was greatly surprised to find that the lead
ing papers of the country had their repre-
