BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug, 9.-President
Harrison has begun his stay at Bar Harbor
by respiting for three weeks two men who
were to have been hanged to-day in Arkansas
for murder; Jack Spaniard aud William
Walker. These have been the Presidents
only official acts here. Dispatches and inn
perative letters are sent On from Washington
though, and few letters addressed to the
President here have been received making
his mail consist eff perhaps dozen letters.
To these Private Secretary Hslford gives his
attention. Callers upon the President were
quite numerous, though almost entirely con-
sisting of summer residents of the place.
Among them were Hon. John R. Thomas of
Illinois, Baron Rosen, the Russian minister,
Maurice K. Jessup, Moses P. Handy, Capt.
Wise of the Minnesota, Major
Henry K. Douglass of Maryland, and Mr..
W. B. Howard, who lives just opposite
Stanwood. The President devoted much of
his time to resting. He had slept more
slept in any night in three months, he said,
and the result was that he felt much less
fatigued this morning than he did when he
reached Bar Harbor. His first step out of
the cottage to-day was toward a blackboard
which was to take him to Otter's Nest,
pretty cottage four or five miles of, where
luncheon had been rendered him by Major
Palmer. In the blackboard with him went
Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, Congressman and
Mrs. Lodge, Miss Blaine, Mr.. Charles Howe,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon Cummings, Private
Secretary Halford, Mr.. Walker Blaine and
Mrs. E. Rollins Morse. But before the buck
board had gone very far it was found
to be overweighted and Mrs. Morse, Mr..
Howe and Mr.. Walker Blaine took seats in a
out-under. This involved only few min
utes' delay. The party left Stanwood about
noon. 1t drove to Major Palmer's cottage by
the longer and more pleasant road while Sen
ator and Mrs. Hale, who had come from Els
worth in the morning, drove by the shorter
route. Among others of the twenty guests
at the luncheon were Collector and Mrs. En-
hardt of New York, Judge Emory OF Maine
and Judges J. P Winchell and John R. Red
mond Of Ellsworth. The luncheon tables
were set on the lawn under the trees between
Major Palmers cottage and the water. Pres
ident Harrison stood upon the portico while
he was introduced to the prominent
summer residents of Bar Harbor and
the residents of Ellsworth and other
places to whom sat home" cards had been
sent. Afterward lunch was served by Bar
Harbor caterer. With eight exceptions all
the guests were seated at tables on the lawn.
The exceptions were President Harrison, Sec
rotary and Mrs. Blaine, Senator and Mrs.
Hale, Mrs. Palmer, the Turkish minister and
Mrs. Lodge, who lunched in the dining room.
Meanwhile the Bar Harbor band played. The
cottage is one of two at Otter's Greek, and it's
pleasant surroundings combine water, wood
and mountains. The day was cloudy and
there was breeze, which, on the lawn, was
pleasantly strong. The President spent an
enjoyable afternoon at this garden party. By
| o'clock he was a. Stanwood again, and al
7:30 p. m. he made one of private dinner
| party, which included Senator and Mrs. Hale
Mrs. Chandler, Mrs. Hale's mother, Mr..
Charles Howe, Mrs. Burton Harrison and
Mrs. Pattersona The party numbered four-
| teen in all.

l himself extremely we'll. Tomorrow at II sc
