the season there. The President.


VIII be full-fiedged President by
'hat time, will be whirled to the
Mountains from Washington every
saturday in special car, which Pres.
iuent Charles F. Mayer. of the Balti-
nare ana Ohio Railroad Company,
mas already rendered him. Mr.. Nc
nee will travel thither whenever he
can spare the time from his business
10 indianapolis. Other people will
20 there because the President and
ms family will be among the resi-
cents, and so. all in all. Deer Park
VIII be a lively place next summer.
1t will not be the first summer
Which the Harrison family have
pas'ed at Deer Park, but Gen. Harri-
son was not President then, and
their presence did not attract so much
attention. The first summer they
We're at the hotel at the park, and it
was then they met ex-senator Henry
q. Davis. of West Virginia, who is
as much part of the place as its
Oldest resident. The Harrison and
Davis families started a friendship
which has continued ever since. The
other four or five summers the Har-
rkOns passed at Deer Park they were
iHxguests of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis.
AMr.-J. R. Mckee. the son-in.law
81 the President, has rented the cot
tase where the Harrisons will live
this sumner from Mr.. Davis. and
Mr.. NcKee's mother.in-law and
father-h- law will be the guests of
himself,nd wife.
1t is aipretty little cottage in a
grove of naples, which seem mere
pigmies b: the side of towering oak
among thin, whose branches have
been swayd to and fro by the breezes
of several centuries. A porch is
stretched ;round three sides of the
building, md is almost reached by
the low;juting roof. Around the
house are walks and drives and back
of it is bR barn.
The Harrisons will not lack for
neighborsto drop in and chat. On
the browof the twin hill of that on
which thu Harrison cottage stands. is
the summer home of Ex-senator
Davis. Then comes the residence of
Hon. Stephen B. EIkins, Mr.. Dayis'
son.in-law, and personal as well as
political friend of General Harrison.
On the other side of the cottage to-
ward the hotel is one of the cottages
in which Mayor Latrobe and Mr..
Morton Reed and their families spend
the summer. The hotel is almost in
whistling distance. The cottages
stand in a semi-circle, and there is
plenty of space for young Benjamin
Harrison Mckee to romp and for the
youthful Miss McKee's nurse to
Wheel her about.
cfesident Harrison will not be the
fim President of the United States
tooccupy this cottage. Fifteen years
age President Grant spent the sum-
mer in it. and was visited by many
noable men, Hon. Hamilton Fish
among them. The late President
John w. Garrett. of the B. & O.,
passed his vacation there before he
had his own magnificent cottage
built. Then Mr.. Samuel Spencer, of
the B. & O., occupied it, and the pic
turesque little place was remodeled
under his supervision to suit his
ideas. A short distance away is the
cosey cottage where President and
Mrs. Cleyeland passed their honey
moon.
Deer Park promises to be a Mecca
of politicians next summer. AL
though Mr.. Harrison will have been
President nearly four months by the
time he reaches the Allegheny resort
and although he may have worked
very industriously during that time,
there will probably be 5000 Demo-
Gratis in office. and there will be five
times as many Republicans anxious
to succeed them. Some of these will
HE themselves to Deer Park, hoping
that there they will not find red tape
stretched across their approach to the
President which besets them in
Washington. Deer Park for two or
three days each week will be the pc.
IiticaI. if not the legislative capital.
Governor Jackson, of Maryland, will
Helnvited to spend a part of the sum.
