Country Home for the Next Presiden

Country Home for the Next President.
DENIAL OF THE STORY THAT HE HAS PUR-
CHASED A PLACE NEAR SILVER SPRING.
report comes from Rockville, Md, that the
President-elect has purchased the farm of Mrs.
Hutchinson, near Silver Spring, Nd, for his
country home while resident of this city. A
member of Mrs. Hutchinson's family told a
STAR reporter that the report was incorrect as
far as that particular farm is concerned. add
ing: ''The farm has not been sold, is not for
sale, and never has been for SALE" It was also
said that if Gen. Harrison was in search of a
country residence that he could not go to a more
desirable locality than the vicinity of Silver
Spring; that for many years it has been the
country retreat Of many of the wealthy citi-
zens Of this city. and is famous for its hand
some places.
The example set by President Cleveland in
having home near this city will probably be
followed by his successors. 1t has been one of
the pleasant incidents in the life of the present
occupants of the White House that they had
their home free from the publicity of the exec
utive mansion. Probably the much-talked-o of
scheme of building private residence for the
President may be revived, and Congress NAV
be induced to take some action.

Count Bismarck and Sir +. ID. Morier.

LONDON. Jan. 4--The Standard says: I've
can say little for the discretion of Morier and
still less for the sense of honorable obligation
entertained by Count Herbert Bismarck. There
is some excuse tor the former. but next TO none
for the latter. Impartial judges, both English
and German, will believe that Count Herbert
made the manner of Morier's demand a pretext
for declining to make amends"
