Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1890-07-31

PRESIDENT HARRISON and his friends,
have found that it is not a popular thing
for the president to accept $4,000
house at Cape May Point, with sumptu-
ously furnished rooms and well filled
larder. The presidents friends have
therefore commenced to hedge and the
subservient New York Press is brazen
enough TO assert that Harrison paid $780,
900 for the property. 1t seems queer, if
this be the fact, that Wanamaker and
Mr. Childs' editor should have gone to
the trouble of making a formal presenta-
ton of the deeds and keys and should
have tremendously indicted the presi-
dents family into the Cape May cottage.
1t seems queer, too, that Mrs Harrison
should bubble over with gratitude, in an
interview with reporter, to the donors
of property which her husband had
bought and paid for. 1t is strange, too,
that the prominent men who are alleged
to have made the present, all warm
friends of President Harrison, should
have allowed the president to be un'
mercifully scored without reason. There
has been no denial of the gift from any
authoritative source, and the $4,000
story may be safely set down as an in
vention of meddlesome and inJudicious
friends

Pickler's law and land Office, each even

morning. Quitting the Office in the even
ing, hitching her horse, she would drive
in an hour to her home, returning to
her business in the morning. She on
dured the hardships of pioneer life. as
many young women do in the West, for
the purpose of obtaining land. Having
become proficient in the land business
and law practice, she was for some time
deputy clerk Of the district court of
Faulk County, S. D., and as such made

settlers, their last act in obtaining
