THE CLEvELANDs SETTLED.
Passed n Very Quiet Sunday-Mr. Harrison
Leaves Town.


Leaves Town.
WASHINGTON, March G. - President
Cleveland's voice is quite husky to-day,
but otherwise he shows no evidence of his
severe exposure on Saturday. His hoarse-
ness, which is only triiing, is not due
alone to the delivery of his inaugural ad-
dress out of doors with his head bare, but
also to the exposure of reviewing the
procession, when he stood for four hours
wholly unprotected from the cold wind,
which came from the north, the side to
which his reviewing stand was open.
When the rear Of the procession had
passed he was completely chilled through,
and it is a pleasing surprise that he is not
now suffering severely from it.
The Clevelands spent the first Sunday of
Mr. Cleveland's second term in the White
Horse very quietly.
CT course they arc familiar with the
quarters and nodoubt it seemed to them like
getting back home. To one member of the
Cleveland family, however, the surround
ings were new. This was Baby Ruth. The
little Miss evidently did not understand her
present greatness, nor that she is to sup
plant Baby Mckee for the next four years
in the minds of the people.
But few signs of the inauguration are
now to be seen. Tho decorations on most
work has been begun Of removing the
stands erected along Pennsylvania avenue.
Many of the visitors are still here, but
| every outgoing train is crowded with the
weary enthusiasts homeward bound.
Ex-President Harrison spent Sunday in
East Liberty, Pa, and attended divine ser
vices in the Presbyterian Church there.
His departure for indianapolis was unat-
tended by demonstration of any kind, as
but few recognized him as he boarded the
special train at the Baltimore & Ohio de-
| pot 1t is not improbable that he may re-
! turn to Washington within few days, as
| some matters of importance yet remain for
| him to settle.
| Accompanying the ex-President are Mr..
| and Mrs. Mckee, their children, Benjamin
| and Mary Mckee, Lieut.. Parker and Assist
ant Private Secretary Tibbots, Postmaster
General Wanamaker, and Marshal Rams
del Mr.. George w. Boyd, Acting Passenger
Agent Pennsylvania Railroad is in charge
of the train, and will accompany.Mr. Har-
rison to indianapolis.
Praise of the inaugural ball is heard on
all sides, and it was beyond doubt, the finest
thing of the kind that has ever occurred in
the Capital More than IL, 900 people were
in attendance, and the way the immense
crowd thronging the vast ball room in the
| Pension building was handled speaks vol
umes of commentator for the managers.
The gown worn by Mrs. Cleveland at the
ball has been so much admired that a com
plete description may not be amiss 1t was
made of heavy white satin, empire front
and tight fitting back. 1t was richly
trimmed with point lace, and embroidered
with crystal beads. The embroidery raj
up in rows, about twelve inches from the
bottom of the skirt, which was pointed il
the back. The empire front was outlined
with the lace and the crystal embroidery
The sleeves We're large puffs made of satin
dotted with the beads, and had stiff SAITH
bows at the shoulders. A heavy fall of tn
lace completed the corsage.
Now that Hon. Walter Q. Gresham ha
reached Washington all the members o
the new Cabinet are in the city and will b
ready to take the oath of Office as soon a
their names have been transmitted to tn
Senate and received the approval Of tina
: body.
Mrs. Cleveland will within day or tw,
nuke thorough inspection of the Execu
tive Mansion. In the last year of her pre-
' vious stay here she suggested several i'm
provements which were carried out, and i
is likely that now she will desire to effec
some changes.
When Mr.. Cleveland took his first pee
into the big oval room which has serve
President Harrison as a library and famil
sitting room he looked about him wit
much interest. He found many changes
