NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-President-elect

pot at 7 O'Clock this morning direct from
Hog Island, Va. He left Exmore at
1881 last night on private car of Su-

His car was attached to the New York
express.
Mr.. Cleveland came unattended and
was ready to alight when the train ran
into the depot, and with his overcoat
buttoned closely about him he walked
briskly to the Cortland street transfer
boat. On landing on the New York side
he took carriage and was driven to his
house, No. II West Fiftv-seventh street,
Mr.. Cleveland greatly enjoyed his visit
to Hog Island and has returned in the
best of health. He has not yet decided
when he will 60 to Lakewood, N. j.,
where Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth
have been staying during his absence.
1t is possible that Mrs. Cleveland will
return to New York today or tomorrow,
Dispatches from Lakewood, however,
state that Mr.. Cleveland is expected there
this afternoon.

Let Private capital DO II

From the Philadelphia Times.
The Nicaragua Canal should not be
built unless it could be made to pay div
idends on the investment, as the Suez
Canal had done. Ifit will pay, private
capital should build it. In no event
should the government of the United
States undertake the enterprise or pledge
it's credit for either principal or interest
of the necessary cost of the undertaking

COTTON FACTORS LUNCaED.
The Merchants and Other Banks Sc

The Merchants and Other Banks Set
Out Oollations.
There was great excitement and any
amount of hustling yesterday morning
among Bay street cotton factors upon re,
ceiviuR notice from President 8. P. Hamil-
ton of the Merchants National Bank that
they we're requested to appear at the bank
by l O'Clock TO increase their margins or
collaterals already with the bank
On account OF carrying so much cotton
ct present in the warehouses so peremptory
an order gave not few factors the cold
chDls, especially those who had all the secu-
curities they possessed up for loans. or
those who went to the bank to consider the
emergency, some were shaky in the
knees, and, like the country dealer, felt
as il the saddest words that ever were writ
were, "please remit"
When they arrived at the bank.
however, everything apparently had
changed and it was altogether
time for rejoicing. President Hamilton
was all smiles, and as EACH one appeared he
was escorted to the directors room, where
an elegant spread was set out, to which the
factors were invited to partake at their
pleasure.
Lunches were also spread at the Southern
Bank. AT all events the factors went off
with happy hearts, one load was removed.
and another taken on.

Shenandoah" the Attraction To-
night and Tomorrow.
Shenandoah" will be the attraction to
night and at to>morrow's matinee and night
The play was seen here a year ago and Is
familiar to most Savannah theater -9oers.
1t was in Charleston this week, and this is
what the NetOs and Courier says Of il.
The presence of SO large an audience at
the Grand opera house may be taken as a
proof, il any was needed, Of the perennial
charm that attaches to Bronson Towards
delicious cOmedy-drama, Shenandoah The
fact that the arrival Of Sheridan on the
scene Of hostilities in the valley of the
Shenandoah at the critical time when the
federal forces were beaten, and the subse-
quent defeat OF the confederates, provoked
round OK genuine and enthusiastic ap-
plause from an audience within the sound
of the guns of Fort Sumter, aud within
sight of the battered walls of that green old
fortress, may be taken rather as an evil
dence Of the magic work OF the play wright's
pen than as a sign Of any dimi-
mutton of the love and devotion in
which the memories of the days Of '6I are
held by those who wore the gray and their
| descendants. AS matter of fact we are all
pretty we'll tarred with the same stick which
forces Madeline Vest to pray for the sue
cess OF the enemies OF her state during that
memorable conflict. Then, too, the stars
and stripes certainly do look well at the
head of column Of the boys in blue. True
1t is horribly suggestive in these days Of
pension grabs but then there is q sentiment
for the flag Of our reunited country, even in
the cradle of secession, which stirs the
heart even Of the sons and grandsons Of our
boys in gray.
But the patriotic consideration aside,
the chief charm of the story of Shenandoah
is the dainty and delicate manner of its tell
ing. 1t touches the heart of humanity,
and when the great heart of the people is
touched there is no room for sectional
hatred. Ben Butler himself would forget
that there ever was such thing in New
Orleans as a silver spoon. and Cabot Lodge,
that enthusiastically diminutive bombproot
patriot Of Massachusetts, would forget all
about his force bill while witnessing the
story of Shenandoah as it is pictured by
Howard,
Its Interpretation is in the hands of a
capable cast, and the scenery and accessories
are fully in keeping with the story

What Ras Been Done With an Old
Style Dwelling House.
Capt. Horny Blum, has moved into the
house on South Broad street which he has
had remodeled to suit his own IDEAS of what
comfortable dwelling house is. And it is
a very comfortable. very roomy aud very
handsome house. It Is so large that il
might properly be called mansion. There
must be abous thirty rooms in it, and the most
OF them are very fine rooms. Before being
remodeled many Of the rooms were dark
Now all of them have plenty Of light The
archlteot has certainly done q very fine
piece Of work.
The feature of the house is the hall
There is nothing elaborate or costly In the
furnishing of it, but it presents a very at
tractive appearance. The drawing and
dining rooms are splendid rooms. Indeed.
it would be difficult to find more desir.
able house. 1t is not, of course. a costly
one, and yet money has not been spared to
meke it as nearly perfect as possible In mat
ters relating to carpets aud conveniences.
The billiard room is in the top story and
| the conservatory Is on the parlor floor
The entire house is heated from the base
ment floor, though there are frepIaces in
all the rooms. The house is not mentioned
as remarkable one in any respect but as
indicating what can be done toward maxi
ing handsome dwelling house out of an
old-time residence
