The other day saw General Harrison,
TO whom the papers have recently re-
ferred. He was walking along Pennsyl.
vanis street by placing one foot alter
nately ahead of the other and then revers-
ing the process. He wore an overcoat i'm
mediately ON the outside of his other coat.
Under the overcoat he wore an undercoat
IL was made of cloth, made by uniting
woollen 6bres in way peculiar to people
who make cloth.
inside Of each coat he wore lining,
which was attached to the garment at the
edges. which added much to the strength
and comfort of the coat.
As he walked along he would every lit
tie while assist himself 10 few gallons of
atmosphere, and later on, return it and
bite OF some more.
When ne met an acquaintance he would
say good morning to him, butin thor

General Harrison will not resod his

Some criticism has been heard because
Governor Gray did not permit the execu-
tive offices to be used for little reception
at the time Yice-Presidept Morton was ut
Indianapolis, but he had the right, no
