CLEVELAND'O FUTURE.
The President to Enter a Large
New York Law Firm.
BE Will Begin Practice as Soon
as His Term Expires.

A Washington dispatch states that 'on
Tuesday March 5, Grover Cleveland. now
President of the United States will be
come a resident of the city of New York and
a member Of the law firm OF Bangs, Stetson,
Tracy & MacVeagh. The President has
been contemplating this association for
some time, but only completed his ar
engagements recently, during = Visit IN
the hite House of Mr.. Fraucis Lynde
Stetson, with whom he is so soon to be con-
nected in business. He will take the placs
as counsel with the firm of Mr.. Wayne Mac
Veagh. the father of Mr.. Charles MACY eagh,
whose name appears in the firm designation
The Presidents name is not TO be incorporated
in that of the firm, and he IS not expecting
to appear in court.
Tine President has not yet selected a per-
manent residence, but he will live IN New
York city and not in New Jersey or Brook
lyn. The idea of living in New Jersey had q
great deal OF attraction, but the incon-
venience of travel was decided To be
q sufficient objection to the plan OF liv-
ing on the Orange Mountain. For
the present the President Will
live in a hotel near Madison Square and he
will seek to maintain his present good health
by walking from his hotel TO his office In
William street. He has been in training for
these walks, for he has of late resorted TO
this plan of finishing his afternoon ride by
being set down a mile or two from the
White House and footing it the rest OF the
distance.
Mrs Cleveland and Mrs Folsom will
find q large circle Of old and new friends
ready TO welcome them to the society OF the
metropolis. The country house at oak ' lew
which the President bought In anticipation
of his marriage will not be occupied by him
again. 1t has been closed since the Christ
mas holidays, when the family came to the
White House for the winter. The President
will probably retain it until an advantageous
C tod IF call
1.-TWO other persons who have been closely
identified with the Administration will
take up their residence in New YORK
at the same time that the PRESIDENT
goes to that city. Secretary OF the Treasury
Fairchid has purchased a house near Wash,
ington Square, and soon after he has occupied
it he will take charge OF an lmportan1
business undertaking now organizing ana
with which some of the most substantial men
of the city are identified. 1t is not law
business, but the Secretary's legal attain
ments will make him more valuable as the
head of a concern in which the experience or
the Secretary of the Treasury will perhaps
constitute a greater accommodation Tor
employment.
Colonel D. S. Lamont, the Preside nt's
private secretary, will also take hold or pri-
vate business on March 5 and III line when
he expects to be an agreeable and profitable
change after four years OF servltude IN ma,
tional politics. He and the PRESIDENT VIII
still be companions, for they eXpecG
to live at the same hotel until
they have selected permanent resi-
dences Mr.. Lamont will not go into the
insurance business as has been reported, but
into one more attractive to him, in which he
will be the associate of intimate friends who
have proved ability in ventures requiring
discretion, energy and capital he is not yee
prepared to go more fully into his plans, but
they are understood to be IN the direction OK

Mr.. Stetson, the New York lawyer referred
to in the above dispatch, in an interview
corroborates the information therein con-
tanned concerning Mr.. Cleveland's occupa-
ton after his retirement from the Presl-
dency.
