He THINKo WASHINGTON DELIGHTFUL
Ex-President Grover Cleveland arrived here
last night BY the 1910 train and went to the
Arlington Hotel When the Supreme Court Of
the United States met ct noon today ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland was one Of the lawyers within
the space reserved for members of
the bar. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Garland, the Attorney General OF the
last administration. Immediately after the
opening Of the court the chief justice asked if
there were any motions for admissions to the
bar. Mr.. Garland arose and in the usual
formal style said: II move the admission of
MIR. Grover Cleveland, who is duly qualified
under the rules" The chief justice di-
rected that the requisite oath be administered
and this was performed by Mr.. Mckinney,
the clerk of the court Mr.. Cleveland then
went to the clerks Office, where he paid his
fee OF Sl0, had his name registered and re-
ceived his parchment. 1t not gener-
ally known that he was in town and
the news of his admission to the
bar OF the supreme court was . surprise. Mr..
Cleveland Is Of counsel in what are known a.
the drainage cases from New Orleans and asked
FOR admission in order that he might be quail
ned to appear in these suits before the court

probably 60 over until next November.
THE SCENE IN COURT.
If ex-President Cleveland 10 gathering unto
himself additional obesity at the rate Of twenty
five pounds q month, as some reckless chroni-
cler has asserted, the accretion was not appar-
ent to those who watched him 40 he took the
oath in the Supreme Court Really he looked
more healthy than when President Harrison
relieved him Of executive responsibility.
Ex-Attorney General Garland Was Mr.. Cleve-
nndf A.,A l.
bill which makes glad the heart and heavy the
pocket OF the Supreme Court clerk.
AN IMPRoMPrU RECEPTION.
Then there was a reception in the clerks
Office. Senators and members trod on each
others toes in their eagerness to greet the ex-
President. and when they had been satisfied
by hand-shake and smile several
other persons crowded in and were made happy.
Shortly before 1 o'clock MIR. Cleveland, accom-
panied by Mr.. Garland and Representative
Hemphill, returned to the Supreme Court room
and took seats inside the fence which separates
the legal luminariss and the inquisitive public.
few minutes later Representative Roswell p
Flower entered and the ex-President was half
way toward him before the Congressman found
the man he was looking for. Mr.. Cleveland's
greeting was very hearty, and he said
something which made Flower blush,
not unseen, but in manner which
was visible to the many spectators. The two
New Workers sat down side by side and talked
in an audible undertone, which would have
been regarded by the door keepers as sufficient
cause for ejectment had the chatterers been
unknown to fame. Mr.. Garland became tired
first and when he arose MIR. Cleveland fol-
lowed his example. Mr.. Flower also assumed
the perpendicular.
Mr.. TURNER'S TURN.
For two or three minutes previous Repre-
sentative Turner had been in a back seat await
ing an opportunity to shake hands with Mr..
Cleveland. As the little group neared the inner
door Turner stepped right in the pathway. and
was at once taken under the spreadieg dexter
wing of Mr.. Flower.
This is Mr.. Turner, Mr.. President" for Mr..
Flower still harbors an idea that Cleveland ID
yet chief executive. Turner, the iceman," he
added in an explanatory tone.
Very glad to meet you Mr.. Turner" said
Mr.. Cleveland, and while be and Turner shook
hands vigorously he continued: "How do you
like it, Turner" Qeferring, presumably, to
congressional life.)
"Oh. like it very much" responded the
good.looking graduate of the pick and tongs
That's good, said Cleveland, and he moved
out OF the chamber.
HE INTERVIEWS STAR REPORTER
The next person to be greeted was Q SrAl
reporter.
Flows TIE SrAR?' queried the ex- Presi.
dent. Flows Washington How's every.
thing?' he went on, in = good-natured attempt
to turn the tables on the interviewer.
Haven't anything to say abous politics" he
said, in response to an inquiry. Nothing
about silver, nor tariff, nor federal election
laws. Washington looks very beautiful Just
now and a visit is a most pleasant experience.
! arm not going TO stay long; shall probably &c
home tonight, or tomorrow morning at the
latest"
Have you anything to say-just few words

Then Mr.. Cleveland went down stairs to the
law library with Mr.. Garland and left the
Capitol.
