OF Mrs. Harrison's Cottage.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
CAPE MAY. n. J., June lA-This grand old
resort. at one time popular as could be. is
coming back into favor. and it is astonishing to
see how the travel to the place has increased
over that of this time last season. Another
thing which is In Cape Mays favor is the
coming of the President and family for the
summer. They will not be here all summer,
but part of it, and this will virtually make Cape
May the summer capital for 1890. Among late
guests have been a number of Pittsburgers.
From indications more people will come from
your city this season than in many seasons past,
The cottage at Cape May Point recently pre-.
sented to Mrs. President Harrison by a syndi-
cate Of gentlemen. through Mr.. William v. Nc
Kean, editor of the Philadelphia Ledger and
Postmaster General Wanamaker. Is most de-
lightfully located within 100 feet of the ocean,
Of which an unobstructed view is obtained
from all the sides Of the house, with the ex-
ception Of the rear. Tho front of the cottage
is directly south, and affords an excellent sight
of the joining of Delaware Bay with the Allan
tic Ocean. Across the mouth Of the bay the
light from Cape Henlopen lighthouse shines at
night while at intervals of 30 seconds the flash
from Cape May lighthouse is spread over the
cottage. It is on plot OF ground 100 by 200 feet
In depth, and is fenced OF with o pretty two

with broad FIRST and second story verandas
spreading all round the house. The structure
is painted in q light color, with dark bronze
trimmings and shutters. The panels of the
shutters are the color of the house. 1t is well
supplied with windows, which insures excellent
ventilation.
The interior of the cottage is tastefully and
conveniently arranged. 1t contains 20 rooms;
six on the first and eight on the second floor
1t is finished in natural woods, with poplar pre-
vailing.
In the center of the building running from
the entrance to the kitchen, is a handsome
hallway, IL feet in width by 40 feet in length.
at the rear of which is handsome fireplace
built of fancy clay tiles. At the back of the
place Is q cast of historical Incident. probably
taken from Spanish or French customs early
in the eighteenth century. Over tho hre place
stands mirror. On the left of the hallway
entering the house is the spacious parlor,
plainly but richly furnished, into which two
arches open the way from the hall. On the

GOSSIP OF THE GUARDS.

CAPTAIN d. M. BIERER, of Company G,
Tenth Regiment, Uniontown, has resigned.
THE combinations for rifle practice for 1889
arrived in the city last night The checks were
only six months behind time, but still they were
received most cordially.
THE Eighteenth Regiment had an interest
ing battalion drill last Thursday evening on
Bluff street. The drill will be continued every
Thursday evening until camp time.
THE commission of Captain William II. Aul,
of Company F, Eighteenth Regiment, expires
on the 26th of this month. An election has
been ordered for Friday evening. June q.
EIGHT commissions were issued throughout
the State during the past month. From the
number of leaves of absence granted in the
First Brigade the East will be rather poorly
represented in the way of officers at the CON-
ing encampment.
RIFLE practice among the city military or
ganizations has been somewhat neglected so
far this season. No work has yet been done on

For Wearing the Legion Shield,

Dr. A. NJ. Barr of the East End. who has
been arrested for wearing the shield of the
Union Veteran Legion, was at one time q men,
ber of Post 8. but about five or six years ago he
was court martialed and dismissed from the
post. His offense was in failing to account for
some tickets to the Drummer Boy" or the
money for the same. The case is OF unusual
interest, as it is the first prosecution in this
year, making it mlsdemeanor for any person
not entitled to, to wear the badge of the Grand
Army, Union Veteran Legion or Loyal Legion.
Comrade Joseph S. Watt. of Encampment No.
j, is the prosecutor. The case will come up be-
fore Magistrate Hyndman, of the East End,
between ana o'clock Tuesday evening. The
extreme penalty Is a fine of 500.

disappointment Over Mrs. Logan.

The veterans Of the vicinity were very much
disappointed on account of the unavoidable
absence Of Mrs. General Logan at the Exposi-
tion last evening and the consequent preven-
tion of the reception. Thousands would have
been delighted to grasp the hand of the widow
of the great Logan. The Art Gallery was to
have been used in which to hold the reception.
Major Denniston had MADE arrangements to
have it beautifully decorated in red, white and
blue silk A tent was to have been placed on
the platform decorated with flags. Camp stools
and utensils were to have been arranged around
this. A large picture of General Logan was to
have been placed in the background. The
Guard of Honor would have been q fine one
consisting of 20 men in all.

Lemon NAV Remain m CrippIe.

Comrade Thomas Lemon, OF Post l57, who
was brutally assaulted, as stated IN last Sun
days Grand Army column, is mending slowly
at his home, 1924 Virginia avenue Mt. Wash
ington. The injury to one of his legs is SO
severe that it is feared he will be crippled for
life. It appears that it was not a fellow driver
who assaulted him. but o negro who was with
one of the drivers. An effort has been made to
discover the man with view of prosecuting
him, but has SO far proven fruitless.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES.

Some enterprising experimenter has
found out that bedbug powder makes =
tolerable flash light.
An apparatus has lately been perfected
by which glass plates are lined for pho
tographers' use. By this process the
finest steel engraving can be initiated,
and finish given to the work heretofore
unattainable, except in Europe.
Mr.. Gregg, the we'll known authority
on lenses, recently stated to the writer
that one should focus little shorter for
flash light picture than for one taken
by daylight, as the chemical qualities of
the light were different from sunlight.
His theory was well sustained by photo
graphs taken to illustrate the point.
According to The st. James Gaxette
the cEar of Russia has taken up amateur
photography, By his orders the Russian
ambassador in London has sent the em-
peror a, set of Photographic appliances
that must, in the immediate future, con-
vert him into first class photographer.
According to report, he is infatuated
with his apparatus, and getting on splen-
didly.
According to M. Balagny, in Le MoR-
iteur, the ideal lens will be an instrU-
ment which can be used quickly, one
that will not compel you to ask what di-
aphragm must be used in order to OBJ
tain the desired sharpness, He declares
that whsther the camera be on its own
legs, or on the arm Of the operator, it
must be capable Of being used almost
automatically, and in such way that the
shutter can exercise its function ia
rnadiatalY.
