advantage of the opportunity offered BY the
gates of the White House grounds being
closed under the new order, took walk
through the grounds together the other

and it is beneficial to Mrs. Cleveland as we'll.

The strike which the Rochester. N. Y, tele-
hpone subscribers have inaugurated against
the Bill Telephone company, which controls
that city, began at noon. When the steam
whistles of nearly every factory in the city
were blown 1T noon it was signal to indl-

begun. The opposition is to q change in
the tariff of rentals which the telephone
company wishes to introduce in the city.
The old rate was from $50 to $50 per year
for the use of each instrument. The new
tariff changes the rate to $50 for 500 mes

Many of the instruments are draped in
mourning, or toxed up, and have on them
legends such AZ "Gone to Join the Angels"
