When the President this morning gently in
formed his wife that she would be taken to Wash
ington to-day she at once frightened up and eN-
pressed her great joy at the prospect of going back
TO that city. The day was bright and clear and
cold and altogether favorable for the journey.

covered with rugs, blankets and pillows, and tour
strong men carried her TO the wagon. The Presl-

sional nurse was close behind and was followed by
the rest of the household The stIetcher was
carefully placed in the wagon on a large cot
