Baby Ruth Has a Sister.
THE FIRST CHILD EVER BORN TO
PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE House.

WASHINGTON, September 9.-An-
other girl baby was born to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland to-day.
The birth OF q baby in the White
House was, of course, an event Ill
which more than usual interest was
felt. In an Incredibly short space
of time the news was known in Con.
gress and spread through all the
departments. The imminence of the
important event was made known
early in the day by the issue of IN
order countermanding the usua
Saturday concert by the Marine
Band in the White House grounds
DIR. Bryant, who accompanied the
President and Mrs. Cleveland back
from GRAY Gables and took up his
Quarters in the White House, wa:
the attending physician. The latest
information obtainable is that Mrs
Cleveland and her latest daughter
were both doing we'll. This is the
first child born to President in the
White House. though there have
been other births in the executive
mansion.
The interesting ceremony OF weigh
ing the White House baby has takeI
place with all the eclat attending
such an event. The scale showed
just nine pounds and quarter. Ii
is stated at the White House thai
both mother and child continue tt
do well. The damp weather has hac
no i'll effect on them.

Hon. Charles Il. O'Ferrall, the
Democratic Gubernatorial standard
bearer opened the campaign on the
Eastern Shore this week, speaking
at Eastville on Monday, at Oman
cock on Tuesday, and Chincoteague
on Wednesday, He was greeted on
each occasion by great outpourlng
of the people and enthusiastically re-
ceived. The choice of the great bulk
of the Democratic voters of Eastern
Shore; before the Convention which
nominated him, everyone who heard
him at either appointment, was more
thoroughly convinced, that he was
right in the opinion, which he had
formed of him, and that the Conven-
ton which ratified his choice made
no mistake in>the matter. 1t may
be truly said, that he was "in the
house of his friends during his brief
visit to the Eastern Shore, the recep-
ton extended him and support prom
ised him being Of the most cordial
character, not only on the part OF
his former party friends, but
of several OF those heretofore of a
different political faith. The hear
ing given him on each occasion could
not have been more respectful and
the temper of the people never indi-
Gated more clearly that they were
with him and prepared to roll up for
him a handsome majority in No
vember. Each address was able, sus-
tanning fully his reputation as one OF
the most effective campaigners in the
State and whether presenting the
issues involved in the campaign or
discussing the dry questions OF Il
nance and tariff, he captivated his
audience and commanded their
closest attention throughout his
speeches. Especially happy were the
illusions made by him in his speeches
to the populists and all agreed with
him, that instead of being represen
tatives of the people, they were the
sore heads and disappointed politi
clans who were looking to the pro
motion of their own interests. That
he will preside over the destinies OF
Virginia for the next four years nc
one doubts and the declarations
made by him to that effect always
elected applause which could not
leave him in doubt that the people OF
the Eastern Shore would do their
part in making him her chief magis-
trate. He will return to Accomac,
if possible, late in October,
and it is safe to say that if he
does, with the good impressions
made by him upon our people -four
years ago and during this campaign
that he will receive an ovation equal
to that he will receive in any part Of
Virginia.

Capt. George c. Savage arrived at
Cape Charles, on visit to his par
ents, last Sunday morning. In
making the announcement. it is need
less to state, who Capt Savage is.
No one needs be told, that he was the
intrepid commander Of the City OF
Savannah, wrecked on the Carolina
coast a short time ago. Heralded
throughout the land as he has been,
as the hero, who brought his ship to
land when disabled many miles at
sea in one of the severest storms that
ever swept along our Southern coast
and who with unflinching courage
stood at his post until every seamen
and every passenger, seventy or more,
were saved, every Eastern Shoreman
OF course has heard Of him and is
proud of the imperishable fame, due
to his skill and proves. 1t is graft
tying also to be able to state, that we
are not only proud of him as son of
the Eastern Shore, but that his
merits are recognized and rewarded
by the company in whose employ he
has been for many years. No
greater proof of his merit could
be offered. than that the COM
pany, which he served in the
least responsible position few years
ago, not only gave him the most
flattering reception on his return to
New York, few days ago, but ten
dered him the captaincy of the steam
or Chattahoochee, the finest in their
line. Such confidence was due to
one "who by his cool Judgment and
bravery in time OF imminent peril and
great danger" showed himself 30
eminently worthy of it and the action
of the company will be applauded by
all who believe, that faithfulness to q
trust and courage that never falters
when duty demands it, should be re-
warded.
