DR.. BRYANT At THE WHITE HOUSE.

He is Not Attending the President, who
Feels No Apprehension Regarding the
Operation on His Jaw Bone.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A. The fact that
DIR. Bryant, of New York, is now in
stalled in the White House has given
rise to the supposition that Mr.. Cleve-
land still feels apprehensive regarding
the possible effect of the operation upon
his jaw bone.
One who is in a position to know said
to day that the real purpose of DIR. Bry-
ant in remaining at the White House for
a few weeks is to be within easy call for
an interesting domestic event which is
expected to take place during this
month. BE was Mr.. Cleveland's family
physician at the time Of the birth Of
Baby Ruth in New York and his pres
ence at the White House was consid-
cred particularly desirable at this time.
He came somewhat earlier than he
might have come otherwise, because Of
the possible effect upon Mrs. Cleveland's 8
health Of the trying trip from Buzzard' s
Bay. The use of Mr.. Benedict's yacht,
however, made the journey so easy she
was hardly even tired
Another reason for DR.. Bryant's early
presence was the desire of both the
President and Mrs. Cleveland that
the important event should, II
possible, take place in the White
House. It was feared that
the extremely sultry atmosphere
Of Washington during September, which
is the most malarial and lea t healthful
month Of the year. might make a tenn
porary residence at Woodley advisable.
Fortunately, however. the weather has
been exceptionally cool and agreeable
during the past few days. and there il
no present reaso to anticipate tn,
necessity of changing the origina
plan.
It is stated that it has already eel
decided that, in the event of the birtl
of an heir, he will bear some other givel
name than that of mis- father.
