Her SUMMER Home.
The Residence Of Mrs. Grover Cleveland on
Bug8ardS Bay.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland has been driving
back and forth daily for two weeks between
Joseph Jefferson'S residence and Tudor
Haven. the ex-President's new GUNNER
home on Buzzards Bay. Tudor Haven has
been undergoing extensive alterations, and
in the meantime Mrs. Cleveland has been
the guest of Joseph Jefferson. She has
been buster than bee experimenting the
Things in and out of doors at her new sum-
mer home.
Her usness ability and tact have won
the undying admiration OF the Bourne car
penterS and plumbers. The work of reno
walton and repairs now nearS completion
and in a few days the ex-President will ar
rive at Tudor Haven. Already the servants
are installed. Two tat Jersey cows Craze
on the green Hill south of the house, and a
handsome and stylish bay stamps and whin-
MES in the stable in the hollow.
''Oh, dear! oh, dearP' said Mrs. Cleve-
land, with comic assumption of despair at
the prospect of an interview The ex-
Presidents wife looked charming in her
blue yachting cap, loosely knotted red tie,
blue jacket and gray woollen skirt. This
is beautiful place and we expect to enjoy
the summer here very much"
The Clevelands have undoubtedly the
most beautiful summer place on the coast of
Buzzards Bay. Tudor Haven is situated on
Il bold point of land, which has the water of
the bay on Two SlQeS, ana acrOSS when cool
breeZeS always blow. 1t is never uneomfort
ably warm at Tudor Haven, even on the sui
triest days of summer. a agDificent view
of the bay is commanded from the wide YER
andas of the house,
There is a fine sandy bathing beach in
front of the house, and in the rear n snug
cove for the anchorage of yachts. There is
a wharf. and the eX-President has only to
walk dozen yards from his back door to
step on board his fishing smack As to
the fishing in this region. it is fine enough
to satisfy even such an ardent ISaak Walto-
mite as Mr. Cleveland There are oyster
beds in the cove behind his house. CLANS
and quahaugs may be had along the shore
for the digging. There is fue blue-fishi
out in the bay
Tudor Haven is within easy reach of every
where. AS the ex-President sits at the win
dow of his new dining-rOom, which has been
built at the northwest corner of his house,

spritualtst temple rising through the grove

eX-PreSident wishes to run over to attend
Seance. Monument Beach is a like short
distance away to the south. Ii is a longer
sail to Marion. The erstwhile famous re-
sort is out of sight and hearing. and none of
the weeping aud waiIing and gnashing of
teeth Of its residents can be heard by

cases of hydroph0bia or possible rabies
than had been known in all the intervening
time between its establishment and the pro-
mitigation of the Declaration of Iudepen-
dence. Such institutions tended to promote
imaginary cases of hydrophobfa. He had
been practicing physician for nineteen
years and had never seen a case of genuine
hydrophobia.
Dr. Franklin C. Fry of Fourth avenue
and Twenty-eighth street said that il
seemed almost an absurdity for laymen to
discuss the question OF the proprlety OF
physician adopting any method in bis prac-
tlce with The view Of Fastening death under
any circumstances. 1t is, or ought to be,
well known that physician cannot effect
cure. All that he can do is To assist nature.
The physician alleyiates pain. The use of
morphine, approximately, really has no
curative effect in its way, but gives the
brain, heart and nerve eenterS time to re-
cuperate. Beyond the province of admins
tering anestheticS to modify OF stop pain
physician might justly go. No physician
has the right to go farther.
Speaking of the case of Bartine, DR.. Fry
thought the physicians i'll charge of the case
had fulfilled their whole duty. He did not
himself hesitate TO use aB8sthetics In cases
OF serious accident persons would die of
shock il they were not used, as they fire.
quently did before they could be admins
tered. There were people who so strenu-
ously objected to the use of mOrphia because
OF their fear of the opium habit, that they
resisted its application, even ia the face of
death.
MORPHINE DOES NOT GIVE BEAUTIFUL
DREAMS.
But he was sure that it rarely acts as de-
scrlDed in many newspapers in creating
beautiful dreams and visions. AtneaTly all
death-beds the mind failed with the body,
and at the supreme moment there was really
no necessity Tor the use OF anesthetics. The
idea entertained by many that giving Opt
ateS hasteas death was generally mistake,
as they are d1Screetly administered with
view of pr0l0ngiBg and, if possible,
saving life. Bartine died as people
generally die, of exhaustion. He
hydrophobia. Homeopathic physicians
claimed to differ very essentially from the
allUpathic school, but he did not know from
observation which their actual practice
was. 1t was doubles true, however, as re-
ported, that in case OF cholera mOrbus, for
instance, they gave medicine every fifteen
minutes and permitted the patient to endure
pain two or three hours, whereas we give
hypodermic injections OF morphine. We do
not claim that morphine cures, but IL re-
lieyeS the pain aud thus enables nature to
20 10 work TO effect a cure.
With more direct reference to the queS-
tion at issue, Dr. Fry related an incident
when, before the arrival of the family ply
stefan, child was born without either feet,
hands or eyes, and it was reported that
when the doctor came he said that the child,
which was really a mOnStroSity, should have
been stTangled to death. TO this DR.. Fry
objected most emphaticaly. Providence and
nature were alone cUlpabe, If thers was
any cupabiity in tits case, and the ply
sician had neither moral nor legal right to
hasten the infants death, nor had he the
right In any ease.

70 the near future it is probable that this

consists principally Of the construction of
large three and four mastet scn0Oners.
There is one man IN Boston, Captain
Charles Il. Nelson, who thinks that the
United States can turn cut as good a speci-
