How the President Got Him, and What

The dinners given at the White
House are said 70 be better this year
than last, owing to Mrs. CleYeland's
greater experience. The Presidents
cook is Pinee, a Frenchman, for
merly assistant chief at Delmonico's
in New York. The President SCI
cured Pinee through the good Offices
OF John Cham srlain. When the
President went to New York to at
tend the funeral of Gen. Arthur,
Chamberlain rought Pinee around
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Mr..
Cleveland shook hands with and in-
troduced them to all present, includ
ing the members of his cabinet,
Then he sat down with Cham sr-
lain and Pinee and made arrange
ments by which the latter came to
Washington, his salary being fixed
at 5000 q nsnth for six months in
the year, with the privilege oil re
naming at the White House the re-
mainder of the year at 500 a month
or of going to some summer resort.
Pinee was so overcome by the hon.
or Of being received as a guest an d
of being introduced by the PresI>
dent to the members of his cabinet
that he invited all his friends to
drink with him. Inc result was
that Mr.. Pinee slept that night in the

over managed to get him out the

agreed to overlook the esaapade Of
his admirer.

ioyed an unenviable reputation, having
figured in the police court for beating his
wife and had just been bailed out OF Jail
and under bond to keep the peace with
his wife, made savage attack upon her
Sun day night and came near ending her
life.
He accused his wife of having him put
in Jail and told her she would net likely
do it again. He struck her with an iron
poker, knocking her off the porch, and
leaving her, as he supposed dead, fed and
has not been heard from since.
The woman lay insensible fer some time.
