WILMINGTON, Nav 2S.--The weather-wise
ceople are predicting hot summer. and
therefore the prominent 6 overnment othclas
and their families are beginning 10 loon
around for nice places al which 10 spenu a'
least a portion Of The heated term. IL fre-
,ident Harrison has formulated any plans ne
has been careful not 10 make them punuc up
10 the present time. The White house
family will go somewhere. and Mrs. Harri-
son has been busy for more than week
hacking M preparatory 10 quitting the TX.
scptiye Mansion. but where she Is going and
when she Will start Is Just now secret. IL
has been stated that the President and ms
family would in all probability locate Tor the
summer season AZ Deer Park, Nd, where
they eau enjoy cool retreat and AT the same
time be outte co.c 10 Washington. General
Hmrison. unlike President Cleveland, does
not possess a suburban place Ike ked Top.
II nav he that President HARRISON VIII
again make use Of the cottage at the Sol.
disrs' Home near the city which was used
by Presidents Grant. Hayes. and Arthur IN
the sumner season. THIS Is 3 large and spa
eious brick cottage. and It's location Is sim
ply magnificent. Mr.. Cleveland had sort
81 notion that he Was compelled 10 he dider-
ent from any other man VINO hau peen
President IN modern times, ana thst
WAS why he concluded 20 buy the farm
which he called OAK View" but on account
OF the fresh coat OF paint given the big
Mansard roof on the mansion the news
paper correspondents decided that " Red
Top~ was a more suitable name, and by
that name II went and is known here. 1t
used 10 WORRY The Presidents wife to have
their home spoken Of as Red Top" but the
men on Newspaper Row could not let an op'
portuulty pass to "touch up" that Fancy
roof.
HE WORT INVEST.
Real estate owners and dealers have been
doing their utmost to Induce General liaTri-
son IN invest IN country place, but Inc
present Chief Executive doesn't do 90 Tor
several reasons. one is that he hasn't the
ready money and another il that he does not
care 10 initiate his predecessor in office.
Just after Dr.. Cleveland bought Red Top
there was big boom in real estate out
in that part OF the District. Property-owneTs
In other directions have been trying TO in
duce President Harrison 10 invest, hoping TO
create a similar boom. but they will proba-
bly have 70 look 10 some one else to start tue
ball rolling
40 GROUNDS FOR IT.
Some Republican papers constantly
charged that there was a Red Top real
estate syndicate. and that Cleveland, whit
ney. Villas, and others were secretly lnte~
rested, but there was no basis for any such
charge. Cleveland WAS bUll-headed ana re-
peatedly made mistakes which cost hlm
reelection aud the Democratic party a severe
reverse. but be was honest aud was con-
nected with no jobs while President. The
Republicans were disappointed because the
Administration was clean.
10 BEAUTY.
II NAV be anything but gallant 10 pen such
statement, but there is not pretty woman
IN any Of the cabinet families. and therefore
this Administration viii not make q great
reputation for beauty a. lls social entertain.
