How many hours may have passed, 1

night 1t was cold; my fire had burned
out in the great fireplace; and the wind, a

bowling without and wrapping at my win

Long hours rolled away. l sat there,
wide~awake, Frustrated and overwhelmed;
myeyes were open. but my body was nerve

"GRAY GABLES. "
The Summer tome of the Clevelands

From the Chicago Herald.

at Buzzard's Bay.
From the Chicago Herald.
"Gray Cables as Mr.. Cleveland has re-
named his summer home at Buzzard's Bay,
at the distance of a mile appears to be all
gables. The arched porch opens by wide
door, half of which is plate of glass hung
with a screen of soft silk OF warm yellow
upon the hall. The hall extends across the
landing and is as wide as it is long. IL also
reaches up through the second story and is
ligh ed by dormers thrown out toward the
east and west for that purpose. rough
faced rock chimney place, with high, pro-
jecting shelf, is a pleasing feature of this
very attractive hall. Mrs. Cleveland de-
scribed the chimney she wanted, and
neighbOrhood masoD-a colored man-who
took her description for his plan, built this
chimney.
The walls and ceilings here, as every
where in the house. are without plaster.
The woodwork is all plain, pine and ash
shellacked, the rafters projectingi and the
studding showing at the sides. The stair
way. with its plain rails and balusters,
takes turn or two before the upper land
ing is reached, but does not anywhere
crowd into the hall. Opposite the hall door
a window feet wide and or feet long,
filled with one plate of glass, co nmands a
wide view of the bay to the west. The
dining-room is at.the right OF the hall. II
is not square to any other room in the
house, having been thrown out at
a convenient angle, which happened
to be toward the north. From the
table there is a view north across Monument
river to Buzzard's Bay village and station
and up Cohasset Narrows. The fireplace. q
combination of light-colored tile face brick
and the granite of the neighborhood. was
designed by the mistress of "Gray Gables. "
The windows of the dining-room are screened
with soft silk curtains that harmonic
agreeably with the unstained woodwork In
tue northeast corner of the house is an
apartment that the ex-President has named
the "gunnery." 1t is his "den" and it is
probably called the "gunnery" be-
cause there are no guns in it. There
I is not even a tradition of its ever
having held a gun. A desk, plain
and flat, a row of books, a magazine or two,
few photographs of intimate friends. a
match safe OF prodigious size, lounge of
gracious breadth. covered with soft rug,
| and a few easy chairs make up the fittings
| There are doors into the hall and out upon
| the north piazza. 1t is admirably situated
in the estimation of the proprietor. Sitting
at his desk Mr.. Cleveland can see, as be
writes, his sail boat, the Helen, floating at
her moorings 800 feet away. If he is inclined
to quit work and go sailing or fishing he
steps out Of his side door, calls his skipper
Capt Eldridge and in five minutes he can
| be under way.

100000 HOTEL TO BE BUILT ON
TYBEE.

The Stock to be Con rolled by Savan-
nab, augusta, Macon and Atlanta
Capitalists.
Three sites under consideration. Will
probably be located at the southeast end.
The above will be received with joy by
Tybee's many admirers. 1t is the outgrowth
of the crowded condition Of all the hotels
and the growing popularity OF the "Long
Branch of the South" Work will be started
about Nov. l. The building is TO be ready
for occupancy May l. Two designs have
been submitted, one by local architect
and the other by an Atlanta architect. A
meeting will probably be held next Wednes-
day, when bids will be advertised for, and
all other details attended to. The hotel is
to be entirely of brick, with terra Gotta
trimmings. 1t will be fire proof, and have
all modern improvements. No design will
be considered that has not kept within these
requirements. For the present the Office OF
the company will be located on the south
east corner of Congress and Jefferson streets,
where Dryfus Bros. are displaying their en-
tire stock of lightweight coats and vests
flannel clothing, neRlige and puff-bosom
shirts; in fact, everything appertaining TO
masculine wear, at prices that sell. Any
further information desired will be cheer
fully furnished at the secretary's Office

the ''bloodsn spend money. George Gould
spends $40 a day. Mrs. Langtry used to
pay that much for wine every day. But you
can live here for few dollars day if you
want 20.
The result of these inquiries is that there
is no limit TO the price one can pay for
summer outing, but it is not likely that the
man who spends $50 a day gets any more
enlOYment than the man who spends 8.

taker. But he makes distinction. What would
country amount to without its political lead
ers to direct its affairs? Who but politicians build
up governments for the people? What would
Switzerland be to-day but for the able politicians
who have led her people in the long struggle to
maintain her independence? What would the
mass of the people of this country have accom-.
plshed since the Declaration of Independence if
they had not had their Hamtons, Adamses,
Jetfersons. Websters. Clays and Lincolns to guide
them? These men were politicians, the outgrowth
of our country's necessities. We do not want any
thing in our system to discourage the growth Of
such men. 1t is true that we raise some very bad
politicians. There are many nubbins in every
field of corn.
We will take one more point 1.-THE Referen.
dunn" says Mr.. Sullivan, sis death to the one
man power, there being in Switzerland no mayor
to city, no governor to a canton, and pres-
eration.' 1 can only think, if such is the case
that Switzerland must be a very poor country for
the cultivation of eminent men. and that the
Swiss people an altogether different people
from Americans. There must be some incentive
or there will be striving. There must be some
prize to be won by extraordinary effort or men
airy powers which delegated to our presidents
governors and mayors and our people would lose
a large share of that ambition which spurs them
on to powerful efforts, and which has given them
the name of being the most enterprising people in
the world. This is q new country that wants men
of individuality to develop its resources; it wants
leaders with authority to act promptly as occasion
demands.
There is a vast difference between the United
States and Switzerland. This country is about
227 times as large Switzerland. and our popua-
ton is 81 000 900 while that of Switzerland is
barely 5000 0OO-not one-twentieth part as great
as the United States. This great disparity in size
and numbers makes great difference in the re.
quirements of the two nations.
We have our Constitution. and if we find de.
fects in it there is a way provided for its amend.
ment by the people. Our people are called to the
polls too often now for their prosperity. cannot
see that we have any call for the Referendum so
long as we have that in our system of government
which answers the purpose better. When our sys-
tenn of voting has been purged of its corruption,
men will be elected as lawmakers and admins
traitors who will have to honor the issues upon
which they are elected or step down and out of
Office. The Referendum may fit Switzerland. but
you cannot fit a midget's coat to the back of a
giant.
